The Shekinah

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church.  In “The Shekinah,” Apostle Sydney Quaye unveils God’s ultimate desire for man: the restoration and expression of glory. He teaches that the real problem of sin was not merely death, but that man fell short of God’s glory—missing the weight, substance, reputation, and expectation God had for humanity. Through Christ, that glory has been restored. Jesus did not just remove sin; He brought humanity back to the mark of glory, making us sons who are crowned with honor, dignity, and excellence. Salvation, therefore, is God’s plan to bring many sons unto glory, restoring His original judgment and intention for man. Apostle Sydney explains Shekinah as the moment when the spiritual becomes tangible in the physical—God expressing Himself through human lives. In the Old Testament it appeared as fire, cloud, and glory in the temple; in the New Covenant, Christ in you is the Shekinah, the hope of glory. Because God now dwells in us, our lives are meant to reflect His splendor: strength instead of weakness, abundance instead of lack, excellence instead of mediocrity, health instead of sickness, and influence instead of obscurity. This message calls believers to reject small living and embrace the glory life, where God’s praise, reputation, and beauty are visibly revealed through every area of life.
