Divine Manifestation

The joy of the Lord is your strength. Welcome to the second month of the year 2017. We appreciate God for His unfailing love and faithfulness to the church in the first month of the year. Indeed, January 2017 has been a great month on many fronts for us in this parish. I pray that each month of this year will be greater than the previous month in Jesus name. The theme for this month is DIVINE MANIFESTATION. The scripture writes “—-What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it” (Acts 4:16). I am convinced of God and I declare that your glory, your blessings, your breakthrough and God-inspired expectations will manifest now in Jesus name. Manifestation simply means to make things known to the public, to reveal something and to make it visible.  For something to be revealed or made visible, there must be light. God is the only light which reveals permanently, and which darkness cannot comprehend. This means that every Holy Spirit inspired manifestation carries the presence and glory of God, which can never be dimmed. When this happens, long time promises will begin to show up, finished work of grace will begin to emerge for all to see, the sun that has perpetually been in a position of sunset will begin to rise. Hindrances to living a fulfilled Christian life will forcefully come out while covered sinful acts would have no place to hide. To this end, it will be difficult for whoever aligns with the works of the devil to manifest the glory of God. One cannot continually dwell in sins and at the same time desire God-given manifestation of good things. It is either one invites Jesus into one’s life to destroy every trace of sin and works of the devil or incur His wrath when one tries to mix sins with the glory of God. Every work of the devil in a believer’s life must be completely destroyed for the glory to come to its full manifestation. God will manifest His power, presence and blessings in our individual lives and the church more than before this month and beyond in Jesus name. It is written in the scripture “And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them” (Numbers 20:6). The above scripture is an indication that the glory of God is meant to manifest wherever it resides. The glory of God carries the presence, the power, strength, might and grace of God. It is the light that gives direction (Exodus 40:34-38). As children of God, it is compulsory for us to manifest the glory of God and we also need to move in the strength of the glory that we manifest. The glory of God is embedded in everybody because at the beginning of your life God has spoken His glory into your life. Once He has spoken it will definitely come to pass. However many people are not manifesting the glory of God because they do not see what God sees about them. Also, many people fail to personally connect to experiencing God while others believe that the glory could even take fraudulent means to manifest. Whatever God has decreed into your life would never come to pass through fraudulent means. It is this realization that helps Jacob to manifest the glory of God. I urge you to re-examine your life from the past to the present and take the bold steps of connecting to God on a personal level. You will definitely manifest God’s glory in Jesus name.
