RELEASING THE RIVER OF GOD’S GLORY (PART 2)

TEXT: Psalm 46:1-5

The great revivals and moves of God are not limited to the pages of the scriptures as we are the living epistles of God in our generation. Some people may never open the pages of the scriptures or come to church to meditate on the word of God but they cannot help but relate with us one way or the other and that is where the Lord depends on us to let the world see His glory.

CONTEMPLATION

 “Heaven knows we need a wave of God’s revival to restore

the church back to the place of passionate worship, and the

time is now.

If the glory of the latter will be greater than that of the

former, then there must be something more than what we

have ever seen or heard.” FFPW pg.164.

The glory of the former house was upon the temple of Solomon but the glory of the latter house is upon the individual that has become the temple of God indwelling us by the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). When the people of God come to acknowledge this then there will come an unusual move of God of great proportion. Gradually the understanding is spreading and there is this shift in the church of God that is giving birth to strange ministries that need no formal registration before they begin to affect a great multitude. The river of glory is flowing and the days of glory are here.

PRACTICAL ISSUES

That which only motivates men to seek their own materialistic gain is not qualified to be called revival. If the world can produce the same result it is not the revival we speak of. There is much more to it.

The prophet Elijah stood alone against the 450 prophets of Baal (1 kings 18:22) and at the end of the day the nation was restored back to God because when the people saw fire fall from heaven they fell down and worshiped saying “the Lord, He is God; the Lord He is God ” (1 Kings 18:39). When people encounter the glory they worship. Daily Devotional by Rev. Igho L. Y; the Glorious Fountain Ministries. 

YOU WILL MAKE IT.

TEXT: Eccl 9:11.

The race of life is not run with physical strength but divine grace. Many people have tried to rise to prominence only to find out that there is more to their pursuit than they anticipated. Life seems to haul all kinds of test from every direction when some are not looking. Some have concluded that life is not fair because when they considered their predicament, they could not tell why they have to fight so much battles and why others are having an easy ride. Like Job, they wish they can find the creator and get answers to their unanswered questions.  But if they can only look carefully, paying attention to details they will come see that the answers have always been there. The preacher in our scriptural passage of today calls our attention to the fact that “the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong”. If you go by carnal judgment you will miss it. He said “but time and chance happens to them all” which is an indication that everybody seems to have equal opportunity but not everyone is positioned and sensitive enough to recognize it. This is where a child of God who continually fellowships with the Holy Spirit has a strong advantage over others. Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to counsel and guide us in the issues of life and as we follow his leading we can never be stranded in life. Follow the instructions of the Lord and you will make it.  Daily Devotional by Rev. Igho L.Y; the Glorious Fountain Ministries.

RELEASING THE RIVER OF GOD’S GLORY (PART 1)

Psalm 46:1-5

It is impossible to gain the attention of the world without an extraordinary manifestation that cannot be easily explained or reproduced. Those who walk in the glory realm have become channels for the release of the flow of the river of God.

CONTEMPLATION

Sometimes we fail to realize that our hunger and expectation to see the move of God was actually placed there by God (See Philippians 2:13). After waiting for a while and nothing seems to have happened, we become discouraged and we settle for a normal life. The truth is that the vision of God is for an appointed time far from our calculation. But if we will be patient and wait for it we will see it fulfilled (See Habakkuk 2:2). It is one level to have the glory of God released on you, it is another level to have it flowing through you to others and this is a great responsibility. We have often limited the move of God to the four walls of the church when in actual reality God wants to reveal His glory as we interact with people at work, on the street, on the bus and wherever we go. When we are in a continuous fellowship with the Spirit, the manifestation of the word of knowledge, prophecy, gift of faith, healing and other manifestations of the Spirit will not be limited to special religious meetings. It becomes part of our everyday living and this is what it means to be full of the Holy Spirit (See Acts 6:3).

PRACTICAL ISSUES

Make practical efforts to disabuse your mind from the erroneous idea that the manifestation of the personality and gifts of the Spirit is meant to be at some great church services, it is a delusion of the enemy.

You are not only a seed of Abraham but also a vessel full of the Holy Ghost and power; through you the Father desires to show forth His glory. Let someone see His glory today. Daily Devotional 2013 by Rev.Igho.L.Y; The Glorious Fountain Ministries.

YOU ARE NOT ORDINARY.

TEXT: 1 Peter 2:9-10

There are people with extraordinary testimonies which make them stand out. Not just anything can happen with such people because events around them are controlled. This is so because they carry the glory of God. According to our passage for today, because they are a royal priesthood their petitions to God receive priority attention. As a holy nation they have divine immunity wherever they go. As a peculiar people others cannot mess around them, and because they are a chosen generation, they enjoy VIP treatment. Their divine identity gives them an edge over others in the issues of life. For a child of God reading this devotional, God will make it very obvious that Angels are attending to you. According to His word in Psalm 91, certainly, a thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand but they will not come near you. Divine protection is your portion. Whoever stands against you shall fall for your sake. God is your help, therefore all evil scheming against your life have already failed. You will continually be a surprise and a wonder to your generation because the awesome God is your Father. This is the day the Lord who is your Father has made, therefore it will favour you so you can rejoice and be glad in it. Step out as bold as a lion because your God is with you and you are not ordinary. Daily Devotional 2013 by Rev. Igho. L.Y; The Glorious Fountain Ministries.
