Topic: BE POSITIONED TO BE A PART OF THE GLORY – Bishop Mike Okonkwo Devotional August 25 2019 [The Redeemed Evangelical Mission]

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
John 12:24 KJV

I don’t know about you, but as for me, only Jesus matters in this end time. Not your money, not your education, not your position, but Jesus. We want our lives to reflect His glory. Let the world see us and say here goes Jesus. The disciples did not understand the purpose for which Jesus came because if you read the Bible, you will discover that when he told them that He was going away, they were discouraged. Not understanding the purpose, they began to look for Jesus. Somebody is looking for you!

Many prophecies have been brought forth and you are passing through challenging situations and circumstances. Unless you understand what is happening, you’ll be tempted to throw up your hands and say it’s not working. There is a glory coming, and what you are passing through is nothing compared to the glory that God has planned for you. There is something that God is working out which you will reap if you don’t faint.

Jesus said to them, ‘let me tell you what has been hindering you, let me show you an obstacle.’ He said: Verily, verily or truly, truly and when Jesus says that, you had better pay attention. He said, ‘Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it dies, it bringeth forth much fruit.’ Except it falls! He didn’t say except a corn of wheat is brought and planted. The corn of wheat has to fall willingly, not by force. No one pushes it, but it falls. Except you fall to the ground and die, you’ll not be a part of that glory.

The problem in the Church today is that we have many people who are alive in themselves. They don’t want to die, but they want the glory of God to be revealed. Today I declare that all that is needed for the glory of God to be seen in you is released upon you in Jesus’ name.
