John 4 discusses the events that took place between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. Jesus had to travel from Judea to Galilee but to get to Galilee, He had to go through Samaria. At this time, because of the tension between the Jews and the Samaritans, the Jews would go around the banks of the river Jordan to avoid having to go through Samaria, but Jesus made it a point to go through Samaria. Jesus had a destiny appointment there and going through Samaria was connected to the destiny of people. Jesus’ mission was to save all people, including the Samaritans. When Jesus got to the well and asked the Samaritan woman for a drink, she was apprehensive as Samaritans and Jews had no dealings with each other. Jesus explained to her that He could give her living water that causes all who drink it to never thirst again. This water would become a fountain springing up into everlasting life. In this woman’s darkest moment, Jesus came to visit her unexpectedly and offer her eternal life. May we drink the living water Jesus has given us!

Colossians 2:8-10, Hebrews 1:1-3

God picked Moses to deliver the people from Egypt, and God had brought him through a lot. Moses had the chance to have a special encounter with God, and during that encounter, the glory of God radiated upon Moses. Christ also carries the same beauty and glory of God. He carried the image, anointing, power, and fullness of God in bodily form, so who’s to say you can’t carry the fullness of God too?
We have what it takes to carry the glory of God. In receiving Christ Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, in you lives the fullness of God. Not only do we carry the glory of God, but the wisdom of God. If we have received Christ, who is greater than Solomon and lives within us, we also carry that same wisdom and power. What comes out of our mouth is the power of God breaking chains. You have what it takes to fulfill God’s mandate, For you carry the Glory of God. The world will not ignore you for the glory is upon you. We were made to be set apart from the world, so God has given us the mandate to radiate his glory upon those around us.

John 7:37-39, Psalm 42:1-2, John 4:5-6

Jesus is the Living Water. The living water that comes from Christ refreshes us. Water is necessary for physical life and Jesus is necessary for spiritual life. In John 7, on the last day of the feast of the tabernacles, Jesus cried out to the people “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” The feast is one that lasts for 7 days and commemorates the 7 days that the Israelites lived in tents while fleeing Egypt. During the festival, priests would go down to the pool of Siloam every day with a golden jug, fill it with water and pour the water on the side of the altar in the temple while the people sang songs. On the 8th and final day of the feast, this ritual stops and everyone is silent, thinking about what the Lord has done. This is the day that Jesus chose to tell the people that if they believe in Him, rivers of living water will flow from their belly. Jesus, the living water is greater than the water from Siloam and any physical water we can drink! In John 4, Jesus also spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well, telling her that anyone who drinks the water from the well will be thirsty again, but those who drink from the water He gives will never be thirsty. Jesus will stay in us and refresh us!

Psalm 107:28-30, Ephesians 6:18, Psalm 4:2-4

God answers prayers. In fact, God is looking for those who pray so that He will show Himself mighty through man. How do you expect Him to answer you if you haven’t prayed? Prayer is something that can never be taken away from you. Even if you are locked up in prison, prayer can never be locked up.
God loves us so much, He wants the best for us, He wants us to prosper and succeed. Some have drifted from God and his plans for us, which results in confusion and chaos.
God is waiting on you.
Even though we may look and walk around like everyone else, God has set us apart from the world. The church is called to be set apart for God’s glory. God has given us His Spirit to bless us with knowledge, to understand His word, to even be inspired to answer critics and to those who don’t believe. God continues to reign on the throne and His glory is ready and waiting on you.

Ps. 48:1-3, Gal. 4:21-26, Heb. 12:11-18, 22-24

God told Moses to consecrate the people on Mount Sinai for a few days to prepare for the presence of God. God had told him that He will descend to the people through a very thick cloud and they will hear the sound of trumpets to signify His presence.

Main Text: Hebrews 7:26-28

Without holiness, no one can see or please God. It is the will of God for believers to be holy. God has not called us to live impure lives. Being holy opens us up to be vessels for God’s use and is important for the church as the church has been called to be sanctified. When we were in the world, we were slaves to our flesh, but now that we are saved, we should be slaves to holiness and righteousness. In being holy, we should be cleansed completely and there should be no iota of sin in our lives. We are made holy through the work of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as well as through the blood of Jesus and His word. Everything Jesus did exemplify holiness so to be able to do the works of Christ, we must live a holy life. If we want to possess the nations and operate in power, we need to be holy!

1 Peter 1:13-16, Leviticus 19:1-2, Exodus 29:43-46

The purpose of holiness to help serve the Lord in righteousness. God is Holiness, and Holiness is God. He is holiness in terms of wisdom, understanding knowledge, divinity, and power. Because He is holy, we too, are required to live in holiness. To be holy is to have a renewal of the mind, which allows us to be set apart from the world. Of course, we cannot do this by our own strength, but with the help of the Holy Spirit and looking to Jesus as an example. We need to follow holiness to please and serve the Lord. “Holiness is not an option, but a necessity for every child of God to possess the nations”. - P./Ovr. Dr. Daniel Nii Oko

Revelation 21:11-22, Revelation 22:1-5

As believers, we believe heaven is a definite and tangible place. Christ came down from heaven to do the will of God, ascended back to where He came and will return again for His people. There are 3 heavens. The first heaven is the arial heaven which consists of the sky and clouds that we are able to view. The second heaven is the sidereal or stellar heaven. This is outer space where the sun, moon, and stars are. The third heaven is the celestial heaven or highest heaven where God dwells and where we will go. It is the paradise where Jesus Christ will come back to take us. The throne of God is here and this is where He reigns. Jesus also lives in heaven —mediating and interceding for us. Holy angels, the true treasures of believers, and the names of believers are there. It is where our citizenship is. No place on earth can compare to heaven. There is no evil or corruption and its beauty is unmatched. Heaven is a place of rejoicing! Let us strive to make it to Heaven!

Mark 4:35-41, Matt. 14:22-33

As the winds became stronger, the disciples became more fearful they thought this was it for them. Jesus easily calmed the winds and the waves by the sound of his strong voice.
We may be going through storms of suffering, storms of sorrow or even God sent storms to discipline and bring us back to Him. No matter how big or little the storms are, remember who is in control. The Lord has control over everything in our lives, we cannot make it out all on our own. There is always something to learn from these storms: they bring strength and an increase in faith. Make Jesus your intercessor, and remember He has all control.

Ephesians 5:25-27, 1 Peter 1:13-16

Who is a glorious woman? A glorious woman is a woman who is born again and exhibits the attributes of Christ. She gives reverence to God and worships him in spirit and truth. She is more concerned with displaying biblical beauty than physical beauty.

Isaiah 6:1-4, Revelations 5:11-12, Revelations 4:2-3

The throne is a symbol of power and authority. It is part of the redemption and creative work of God. 

Out of the throne comes power, peace, strength, glory, praise, and honour. Isaiah the prophet was one person who saw the throne and the sovereignty and holiness of the One who sits upon it. The train of the Lord’s robe filled the whole temple and Isaiah saw how humble and obedient the Seraphim were before God, proclaiming His holiness and glory. There were many others in the Bible who saw the throne of God and gave their own depiction of it. Prophet Micah, Job, the sons of Korah, Ethan, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, David, Daniel, and Apostle John all talk about the Lord’s mighty throne throughout the Bible as well. We know that anyone can sit on a chair, but only those of authority and prosperity can sit on a throne! Even when earthly thrones are empty, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords continues to sit on His throne in heaven forever. May we all see the magnificent throne of God!

Main Text: Ezekiel 1:1-3,28 & Isaiah 40:5

Eziekel was one of the few men taken into captivity in Babylon. There the Lord came to Eziekel in 7 ways: The heavens had opened unto Eziekel, visions, the word of the Lord came to him, the hand of the Lord came upon Eziekel, Eziekel saw the glory of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Eziekel, and the spirit of the Lord came upon him.

The Lord was going to use Eziekel to speak to the people of Israel, a place of rebellion. The Lord made it known to Eziekel that He will not leave him, but He is with him every step of the way. Let us settle in the place that the Lord wants us to be in. In this time let us make room and allow God to use us. Whatever the Lord has said unto us it will prosper. Just as Eziekel was facing a tough time, just as he was worried like many of us are now, let us not forget that Jesus is still sitting on His throne, and the Lord’s glory will continue to shine. Considering the times we are in, what the Lord has planned for us is not canceled, He has not forgotten about us, His glory will continue to be seen in our lives.

The Glorified Jesus Is Alive || P/Ovr. Dr. Daniel Nii Oko

Main Texts: Revelation 1:1-18, Daniel 7:9, Luke 24:6, 24-26

Jesus came to do good, to heal man, and to be a servant. This Jesus came to suffer for you and I. The resurrected Jesus is our ascended and glorified Lord. The revelation that John received from God was a perfect depiction of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the Son of Man. John was able to recognize that the man he has seen is the glorified Christ. Many people in Scripture received vivid visions of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It must be our prayer that we will receive a revelation of who Jesus is. He is our rightful advocate, our intercessor, and our GLORIFIED JESUS.

Ruth 1:1-6, Deuteronomy 23:3-6  There was a great famine in the land that Elimelech was living in with his family. Because of this situation, Elimelech made the quick decision to move his family out of this land and dwell in Moab. He moved his family to an accursed place. Later on, Elimelech and his two sons had died, leaving Naomi and her in-laws.  When things aren’t working the way we expect them to be, we may move from the Lord’s feet and rely on ourselves that can lead to disaster. Naomi wanted to return to her homeland as she heard that the Lord had visited his people and blessed them with good crops. The presence of the Lord is always in action especially when we call out to Him. When we move from the presence of the Lord, we may think we are fine, but space for disaster is made. When we are in the presence of the Lord he will ALWAYS visit us.

Main Texts: Colossians 1:13, 2 Corinthians 2:18, Matthew 5:16

In this episode, Aps. James McKeown Quainoo tells us about the ever-increasing glory of God. The Lord has rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us to a place of light that brings glory. Because we have been set free, we are no longer under the dominion of sin, we are set free.

Matthew 28:16-20

Ezekiel 1:26-28 & Ephesians 3:14-21

Ezekiel got to describe God’s splendid brilliance through a vision. He goes on to describe the glory of the Lord which creates a big impact in his life. The glory of the Lord upon Eziekel changed His response to life. Glory can be looked at in two ways, attributed to abundance (honor and praise) and the splendid brilliance that comes from the Lord. Because God’s glory is powerful, He also wants His people to become powerful as well. When we have the glory of the Lord upon us, He will give us light, and we will be able to look at things differently.

Ephesians 4:1-3, 17-24, 2 Corinthians 5:20, Ephesians 5:26-27, John 1:14

The word radiant encompasses a sight that cannot be denied and a beauty that cannot be refused. Being radiant means having not only an outward but an inward beauty so bright that eyes cannot be taken off of you. Moreover, an agent is someone who represents another. As radiant agents of God whatever we tell others is and must be approved by God. There are two types of agents in this world: agents of the devil and agents of God. We must ensure that we choose to represent God in everything we do. As radiant agents, the glory of God will always be revealed through us. The acronym GLORY represents Greatness, Leadership, Opportunity, Righteousness and a Year of celebration, all of which manifests itself when we become God’s radiant agents. As agents of God, we are radiant and without spot or wrinkle. God has made us a sight that cannot be denied!

Genesis 4:26, Luke 18:1, Romans 12:12, Job 1:5

In order for a church to thrive, prayer must be a priority. Prayer has a place within God’s church. Prayer has been the bedrock that successful people live on, however some only pray when it is convenient for them or when they are in distress. When things in life are going well, we tend to glorify our own abilities rather than giving glory to God. Man is not immune to challenges or affliction so it is important that prayer be our hallmark. To be able to excel and prosper in 2020, we must pray constantly. Prayer shows that you trust and believe in the Lord. It is an invitation for God to take over. When you pray, you are recognizing your weakness and acknowledging the power and sovereignty of God. Prayer is work. It is not for those who are lazy. You must be the first to wake up and last to go to sleep in prayer. Prayer is power, it develops character and allows us to grow in God’s grace. We will win every battle if we lift our hands in prayer!
