INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Sunday, March 30, 2025 Topic: WHEN ITS ABOUT GOD'S GLORY! Memory Verse: ‭‭"So that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God" - 2 Chronicles 5:14 NKJV Bible Text:  ‭‭‭‭‭Luke 1:20‭-‬22 NKJV 20. But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.” 21. And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple. 22. But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless. INSPIRATION: Many of us have heard of His glory but we've never seen or handled it before. A song writer sang, "When the glory comes, there will be no words to say, oh oh oh oh." God's glory will make you speechless and drain you of your skills and abilities to put up performance. God's glory will leave you in awe of God's awesomeness, magnificence and splendour that all you'd desire is to just connect in reverential worship rather than put up a religious show. Unfortunately, due to insensitivity, immaturity of an hypocritical show of spiritual self-righteousness, many would rather to put up a service that would not be acceptable to God just to impress others instead of offering a reasonably acceptable worship service to God. Herein lies the problem of today's believers. When the cloud of God's glory filled the temple, the priest could not minister. You can't be sold out to God and His ways and not know when not to interfere with the move of the Spirit. Most times, we exert ourselves so much so that we interrupt God's flow. What services do you want to render that's more important than what God is intending to do at that moment? Learn from the priest in our text. Sometimes, our desire to keep up with our religious routines when God's glory is present is not an act of faith but unbelief, a show of lack of understanding that stirs us to think it is our performance that guarantees the moves of His anointing. Real glory will leave you a different and thoroughly broken person than you were before the glory came. I wish you would long for this experience in the here and now. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Have a longing and unquenchable desire for His glory. Take the right posture before and after you encounter God's glory. Lay everything aside; conquer self and soar in the grace and power of His glory. PRAYER: Dear Lord, please help me not to struggle with yielding myself when it's all for and about your glory. I will not be a stumbling block to the manifestation of God's glory, but learn how to give the Holy Spirit the right of way in my life and ministry, so that I'll experience great blessings for my yieldedness, in Jesus name.
