 To live in glory, it is important for us to know the difference between fact and truth. Some people are so dependent on the fact that they stake their lives for it! They say these are facts and can never change, which is not at all true. For e.g. if you weigh a man on the earth and let’s say his weight is fifty-five kilograms. Now fifty- five kilogram weight is an absolute fact and there is no doubt about it. But, if you take the same person to moon and weigh him there, he would weigh around nine kilograms. Now you see, the fact that was on the earth has changed totally when the person is on the moon. In other words, the fact depends upon geographical location, but the truth depends upon none. It is absolutely false that the report from the doctors cannot be changed. It is just a fact that you may have received a report from the doctors, but it must change infront of the truth. The only truth is the Word of God and that is why Psalmist says “Forever, Oh Lord your word is settled i...

  Healed from Asthama Many years ago, I had asthma. It was a hereditary disease in my family and I witnessed one of my aunts who died because of it in a very dreadful situation. She was hanged upside down to ease her predicament. I had the same disease and there was a time in my life when I could not sit nor stand because of the illness. I could not breathe properly and sometimes I used to have excruciating pain at my back due to the that illness. Also, I had severe dust allergy, even if a little dust went into my nostrils, I would sneeze for a long time. But when I came to know that the Word is the truth and that the fact can be changed through the truth , I started to take hold of the Word and declare and decree it for days and days. Devil used to show me the fact that this disease is incurable. But I kept on declaring the truth i.e. the Word until I was totally healed and delivered from that disease. Now I know that I am born of the Spirit, walking in glory in divine health whi...

 Walking in faith is a walk obligatory to walk in the light of the word of God which was witnessed in the days of Jesus. When he walked on the face of the earth, there was a centurion who came asking for help for his servant who laid paralysed at home. Jesus said that he would go and heal him, but the centurion requested the Lord only to say the word and that he (Jesus) need not come under his roof. Jesus said that his faith was great and it would be done just as he believed (Matthew 8:5–13).  Walking in faith is an act, when we do not walk by five physical senses i.e. sense of sight, sense of feeling, sense of smell, sense of taste, and sense of hearing, but by faith. In this walk, we solely depend upon the only spiritual substance, the word and through faith we walk in the light of the word. When you are born again by the Word and the Spirit, it is mandatory for you to walk by faith and not by your sight or feeling. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:35, “Women received back thei...

   In reality, we walk and move and have our being in Him. So, we ought to glorify God in our body by living in glory without sickness. Now my question to you is why did Jesus die? Good question! You may have many answers, but I have one according to Hebrews 2:10, “In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation complete the work through suffering.” So, the ultimate purpose of the cross was to bring many sons to glory. In order for God’s purpose to prevail, it was settled even before the creation of the world that Christ will come and die in our place and to bring us back to glory. (NB Hebrews 2:10 is the Apostle’s Version) Therefore, the entire purpose of the cross is to bring us back to glory. If we study scriptures carefully we would read in Genesis that although Adam and Eve were naked and still why they did not feel any shame? It was because they were covered with the glory of ...

  Most of the people on the face of the earth experience death and they die however there was a man called Enoch who was taken from this life and he did not experience death (Hebrews 11:5). What do I mean by that? In other words, part of them (people) is dying so they are experiencing partial death in other words one of their parts of body became non-functional and consequently they die. But about Enoch it is written that he did not experience death at all. In other words, he experienced only life. The word, ‘experienced’ translated from Greek word in NIV is ‘horao’ that means to ‘see’. So Enoch never saw himself as dying. He used to be in fellowship with God so much so that life was the only thing transferred into him. One fine day God told him that he was so full of life and if he stays there longer, then others will blow up. So God took him away and the Bible says he was no more. Coming back to the point that I am making here is that he did not see ‘death’ and so he did not get ...

 Not only we are the house of the Triune God, but we have also become the temple of the living God. Though triune being lives in this house, however it is a temple through which we manifest his presence. Solomon’s temple was glorious, so much so that God’s glory filled the temple to an extent that those ministering would be slain in the spirit (2 Chronicles 5:14). As the Bible says in Haggai 2:9, “The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house.” But 2 Corinthians 6:16 says, “… for we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them…”. In Greek, the word for ‘walk among them’ is ‘enperipateo’ made of three Greek words ‘En’ meaning ‘in’, ‘peri’ meaning ‘concerning’, ‘pateo’ meaning ‘trampling’ and putting them altogether we get the perception that God is living inside us and is concerned about us and continually trampling all the works of the enemy through us. The Triune God is living inside you to set ...

  What are we supposed to do in this living spiritual house? We ought to always offer spiritual sacrifices i.e. according to Hebrews 13:15, “Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise- the fruit of the lips that openly confess his name.” It means to acknowledge his presence in our lives continually and he will make our paths straight and that is why 1Thessalonians 5:18 says, “Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” We are called to be thankful in our being and to be in a state of thanksgiving when the Triune God stays inside us. When a person is in the state of thanksgiving, then the person is on the top of mountain and when a person is in a state of grumbling, then the person is in the valley. When your being is in a state of thanksgiving mountain continually instead of grumbling valley, then unseen realm gets activated and nothing is impossible with you. Just imagine two fish and five loaves and the ...

  What was the first attack of the devil on humankind? It was an attack on the glory as Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fell short of the glory of God.” To understand this let us also read, Genesis 2:17,“but you must not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil for when you eat it you will surely die.” God created man in his image and likeness; he was allowed to eat from anything but not from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The serpent came to the woman and said “God knows that when you eat of it you will be like him and he does not want you to be like him.” (Genesis3:5) That was a lie for they were already like him as I mentioned earlier that Glory means to be ‘like Him.’ So, the first attack on mankind was the attack on glory. We further read that God questioned them as to who told them that they were naked. In other words, God’s question to Adam and Eve was that that how did they fall from glory? (Genesis 3:10, 11) Now, that sounds like a frivolous que...

  Most of the believers in the body of Christ have not understood what is heavenly calling? They think that whenever the Bible talks of calling it means the ministerial offices like the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers only. So, they choose for themselves and somehow think that they are called for one of these offices. They give themselves a title like pastor without proving whether they are called in that office or not; however, when the Bible talks of the heavenly calling then it is talking about something different altogether. It is talking of bringing heaven on the earth, experiencing and enjoying what God has in store for us here, on earth while we are alive in our physical bodies. As in Hebrews 3:1 “Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.” There are many people who would read through the verse and overlook it. The reason is the second word in ...

Greetings, let’s meditate on this word Peter says in 1 Peter 2:9 that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. The word in Greek for ‘declare’ is ‘exangello’ which is a combination of two words ‘Ek’- means ‘out of’ and ‘angelos’ means ‘angel’ and when we declare thanksgiving to our God out of our being, then angels are always released on our behalf to bless us and work for us. Our very calling is t o  continually keep our being in the mountain of thanksgiving. When we do that then things of darkness will crumble, prison walls will fall, chains of the prisoners will be shattered and no thing of darkness can touch us as we will continually feast in the light of our Lord. Also I want to add here that when a person is in grumbling valley, then he is in dangerous road to destruction. King Herod is perfect example of it. One day, King Herod gave a speech and everyone was impressed. But as he did not give thanks and praise to the Lord so ...

  Greetings, Let's meditate on this word…  Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.” T he word ‘arise’ in Hebrew is ‘qum’ which means to be established’. Now the question arises, what is to be established? We are to be established in glory, which is the very foundation of our life. So, we ought to not only to be established in the glory but also move in this glory which is ever increasing. In other words, we are supposed to move from one level of glory to another level of glory. Isaiah 60:2 “See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you.” The Lord rises upon you means we become the channel through which He begins to manifest Himself. That is why it is said in Ephesians 1:12–13 that we are the praise of His glory and His literal glory appears over us. Isaiah 60:3 “Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” The ...

  Greetings, Let's meditate on this word… Bible says in   Habakkuk 2:14 ,  “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord…’’ It is not talking about any supernatural occurrence or the visitation of angels coming down on earth or some sort of extraordinary things through which God will be revealed. No, not at all! It is actually referring to a generation or more precisely to the church, the glory of God, which will conquer and fill the entire earth as in  1Corinthians 2:7   “No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that which God has destined for our glory before the beginning of time.” Our God, one who is a purposeful and destiny-oriented God, purposed in His mind that we should be His glory on the face of this earth and the Cross was the step taken by God towards its fulfillment (1 Corinthians 2:8). Glory is the manifested presence and the recognition of God on the face of the earth. Glory is not only the...
