The second and third day of Glory Cloud continued in the same momentum. Each passing day of Glory Cloud has truly being about moving from one level of glory to another, and the people of God have been happy and content to bask in the presence of God – hanging around even after the service was well over!
Pastor Festus Adeyeye of Abundant Life, New York, was here yet again as he always is. This Glory Cloud ocassion he ministered on “The Power to Become” on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, “Faith to Embrace the Greater Glory”. With every glory, there is a story because God is in the business of turning impossibilities into possibilities.
The Power to Become
Did you know that everyone and thing has its own glory? that your glory comes to you as a seed, and as a result, you need to develop that seed, and let it grow? Pastor Adeyeye exhorted that. “The glory of a boy is in becoming a man, and the glory of an eaglet is when it becomes an eagle.” All of our lives, we need to live and bask in the glory of God – not looking at it as a one day thing, but as an everyday thing.
Live a Life of Purpose
He motivated the people saying in so many words, over the course of the two days:
- “Discover your purpose, walk in your purpose, and don’t allow your past to dictate your purpose”
- “If you don’t appreciate what you have, it will depreciate [in value in your eyes]“
- “When you talk more with God, you talk less with men”
- God will fight your battle for you. (Luke 21:37)
- Build on your strengths and manage your weaknesses
- Also seek for God’s favor as favor sets you apart from people you are equal to, or may not as talented as. (Luke 1:28)
- Please God before you please man
- Fear God before you fear man
- Respect God before you respect man
His mission from God was to challenge God’s people into a lifestyle of intimacy through prayer. For people to “celebrate” you in the morning, you need to have spent time with God the the night before.
