SUBMERGED IN POWER AND GLORY PART 2

MAY 4TH

TEXT: Mark 9:2-9 King James Version (KJV)

2. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

3. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

4. And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

5. And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

6. For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

7. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

8. And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

9. And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

It is important to celebrate every little manifestation of the presence of God in our lives and meeting. It is not our right, it is a glorious privilege.

CONTEMPLATION

I wish I can give you a formula to help you know what to do to attract a particular desired degree of glory, but that is only possible in the magic world. What we have is greater than magical acts. However, the truth remains that any man who is in continual fellowship with God never ceases to amaze his generation. To fellowship with God is to commune with wonder and glory, and no man coming from such fellowship comes empty. From scriptural and contemporary accounts, when some mortals are visited by angelic beings, they struggle to stand on their feet.

The reason why they struggle to stand is because when such angles visited they came wrapped up in the awesome glory of God. When a man spends quality time in the presence of God similar things happen, and people fall under their ministration or by mere contact with them. When this happens we say the man is anointed. Your time of fellowship is a time to be submerged in the power and the glory of God. Don’t joke with it.

PRACTICAL ISSUES  

If your fellowship with God is intact nothing will become too much for you to handle. Men and demons respect the anointing more than any title, credentials or position. Go for the presence of God.

Find some time to be alone with God today and take note of the things He brings to your attention. You will be amazed what will come out of such moments.
