REVELATIONS 1:7

Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. The Glory Cloud refers to the tangible presence of God or the glory of God. (Ex. 13:21-22). The Glory of God which represents His presence has a double effect- “Peace and War”. It will be a great error to believe the manifestation of His glory can only bring peace. The Glory Cloud of God is the Holy Spirit in a believer and we need Him to prevail in the challenges of this end time. Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, we should keep in mind that we are strangers and pilgrims here on earth. (1 Chr. 29:15). The end time is no other time than the time we are in. It is an age of godlessness and perilous times (2Tim. 3:1-7), age of city- building and prosperity (Gen.4:17), and breakdown in the home and family life. (Gen.4:19). It is the age of technological advancement (Gen 4:22) , coupled with violence and corruption (Gen. 4:23, 6-11) The Almighty God desires to manifest His glory for man. He manifested His glory upon Jesus during His birth, baptism, and transfiguration. ( Luke 2:9). The glory cloud received Him back to heaven (Acts 1:9). After His ascension, His glory is made manifest by the Holy Spirit, this was made possible when the veil of the temple was split in two when He died.( Matt. 27:51). The glory cloud is needed in this perilous end time to convict sinners of their sin, ( Acts 2:37) to bring judgment, especially when un-repented sin is brought into the presence of God and to bring victory when battles and afflictions arise. When man sinned in the garden of Eden, the glory of God in them departed. ( Gen. 3: 7-8) They began to fear and they became naked. i.e. shame came to manifestation. They became alienated from God’s knowledge. Anytime a believer sins and the glory of God departs, some of these manifestations occur shame, (John2:1-11), reproach, failure (Luke 5:1-11) , barrenness (2Kings4:8-17), loneliness (Mark 5:25-34) , retardation ( Acts 3:1) and self seeking gratification. Children of The Most High God, to sustain God’s Glory, there is a need for us to do everything possible not to grieve Him, since He is all we need at this end time. (Eph. 4:30). As a guide to our sustaining His Glory, we must avoid willful sin, disobedience to the Voice of the Holy Spirit. We must always meditate on the Word of God.

PRAYER POINT. My Father and my Lord, please do not take away Your Glory from me.
