Manifest Glory Through Understanding (Part 2)!

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, March 19, 2025 Topic: MANIFEST GLORY THROUGH UNDERSTANDING (Part 2)! Memory Verse: ‭‭"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,"  - Ephesians 1:17 NKJV Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Ephesians 1:18‭-‬19 NKJV 18. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19. And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power INSPIRATION: A wise preacher once said, "What you understand, you don't stand under." That is, what you understand cannot control you. It is only areas where understanding is lacking that you see people struggling. Another preacher also said, "No one has money problems. What people have is wisdom problem." In other words, where wisdom is absent, everything becomes a big problem. People struggle and do poorly in life and ministry where the right knowledge is not applied. Knowing what to do gives you a guide and understanding of how to apply the principles that helps you get results. Manifesting glory comes easily when you know what to do and you do it. You shine with ease and reign in your field with dominion. That's why you must take Paul's prayers very seriously. Except the eyes of your understanding are enlightened, you may never know what has been provided for you in Christ; except you receive clarity, you may never know all things are yours and have been given to you by God through Christ freely to enjoy. It is for this reason the writer of Proverbs say, "Through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered (Prov. 11:9). This shows that's there's a level of bondage that comes with ignorance. When you know the exceeding greatness of His power, you'll supersede all your expectations with manifest glory. You can't know the greatness of His power and not experience the workings of His mighty power accompanied by undeniable proofs. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Seek God's wisdom and ways of doing things. It helps you excel and stand out. Get a revelational blueprint for your life, ministry, business and all you do. Build real intimacy with God through constant and consistent fellowship with the Holy Spirit. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me to desire revelational insight more than I've ever given it a thought all my life. Enlighten the eyes of my understanding, that I may  walk in the wisdom and revelational knowledge of Jesus in every area of my life until glory manifests, in Jesus name.
