Topic: THIS IS THE TIME FOR CHRIST TO BE GLORIFIED – Bishop Mike Okonkwo Devotional August 24 2019 [The Redeemed Evangelical Mission]

“And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.”
John 12:23 KJV

We have come to the finest hour of the Church and God is speaking clearly on how we can enter into the glory that is coming. When you look at the confusion all over the place, you will be tempted to throw up your hands and say that it’s not working. The truth is that God wants us to come to an end of ourselves so that we can truly seek Him. As a result, the heart cry of everyone is that they want to see Jesus. The people are saying, ‘I want to see nobody, but Jesus. Not even our money, education, connections, or position can help us. We want to see Jesus.’

The people in John 12:21 came to the disciples asking to meet with Jesus. The disciples did not have understanding. They would have known that it was up to them to reveal Jesus to the people. Rather they brought the people to Jesus. And Jesus Christ turned to them and said something powerful which is so important to us today if Jesus must be seen in our lives. He said to them: The hour has come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

This is the hour for the Church to wake up. This is not the time for slumber. This is the hour for the Church to be glorified. This is because when darkness covers the world, and gross darkness covers the people, then the glory of the Lord is risen up on us. Jesus said to them: The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. The hour has come for Him to be glorified in every area of your life, your business, your job, your family, your finances, in government, and in all sectors of life. We want to see Jesus in Abuja, Accra, London, Port Harcourt, New York and all over the world. We want to see nobody but Jesus. Only Jesus matters.
