INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Tuesday, September 23, 2025 Topic: GOD'S PROGRESSIVE REVELATION TO MAN (Part 3)! Memory Verse: "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?" - Matthew 16:15 KJV Bible Text: Matthew 16:13 KJV 13. When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? INSPIRATION: Most often than not, God's names as we know them today and as we pointed out yesterday, come from personal encounters, and sealed with covenant. Those covenants were cut and enforced through the shedding of blood. In other words, an animal had to die to ractify the covenant. Any encounter that does not 'kill' something on your inside should be subjected to thorough scrutiny. Real encounters are not defined by the feeling of goosebumps but by revelational insight into whom Jesus is, because, "He must increase, but you must decrease" (John 3: 30). Real encounters bring you down on your knees at the feet of the Cross, where you're lost in worship of the Splendor of our King, Master and Saviour. It births a revelation that proclaims the true identity of Christ. No wonder Peter could boldly say, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God," in response to Jesus's question, "But whom say ye that I am?" (Matt16:15). Notice how Jesus moved from a general to a personal, direct question: it shows you can't overlook personal revelation - you get God's seal of approval like Peter, "Upon this rock I will build..." TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Peter got heaven's endorsement, "Upon this rock I will build...," after he boldly said his convictions about whom Jesus is. Upon what encounter, confessions or conviction, is God going to build in your life? PRAYER: O Lord, cause me to experience encounters with You that would kill my flesh and make my spirit come more alive in You. Please take me on a journey of revelational encounters, where I will know You for myself, in Jesus name.
