https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%206%3A1-2%2CIsaiah%206%3A3-8%2CPsalm%20138%3A1-2%2CPsalm%20138%3A2-3%2CPsalm%20138%3A4-5%2CPsalm%20138%3A7-8%2CLuke%205%3A1-11%2C1%20Corinthians%2015%3A1-11&version=NOG

PN 1). The Scriptures reveal God’s Exceptional and Exceeding Glory, inviting us into moments of encounter with His Divine Presence. Through passages in Isaiah, Psalms, Luke, and Corinthians, we witness profound revelations of God’s Character, Power, and Transformative Work in the lives of His People. As we delve into these texts, we are invited to explore the themes of worship, thanksgiving, obedience, and redemption that permeate the pages of Scripture and speak to the core of our faith as Pentecostal Christians.

Exploring the Scriptures:

1. Isaiah 6:1-2, 3-8:

In this passage, Isaiah receives a powerful vision of the Lord seated on His throne, surrounded by Seraphim, who worshipped Him. The magnificence of God’s Glory is revealed to Isaiah, leading him to acknowledge his unworthiness. Through this encounter, Isaiah is cleansed by a burning coal and accepts God’s call to be His messenger to the people, saying, “Here am I. Send me!”

2. Psalms 138:1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 7-8:

The Psalmist expresses profound praise and thanksgiving to the Lord for His Faithfulness and Lovingkindness. He acknowledges God’s Goodness and Promises to worship and give thanks to Him with all his heart. The psalmist declares that even kings will praise God and give thanks when they hear His Words. He shows confidence that the Lord will fulfil His Purpose for him and urges all to give thanks and praise to God for His unfailing Love.

3. Luke 5:1-11:

In this passage, Jesus calls Simon Peter to cast his net into the deep water, resulting in a miraculous catch of fish. Peter is astonished by this display of God’s Power and falls at Jesus’ feet, acknowledging his sinfulness. Jesus then assures Peter that he will become a fisher of men. Peter, James, and John leave everything behind and follow Jesus, illustrating the transformative power of encountering Christ.

4. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11:

In this section, Apostle Paul reminds the Corinthians of the foundational truth of the Gospel that he preached—the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He recounts how God’s Grace chose him as the least of the apostles to spread the good news of Christ. Paul emphasises that the Gospel is of the utmost importance, for believers are saved by believing in Christ’s resurrection. Despite his past persecutions of the Church, Paul recognises God’s grace that transformed him and enabled him to serve as an apostle.

These passages collectively highlight themes of encountering God’s glory and responding in worship and obedience, praising God for His faithfulness and mercy, experiencing the power and authority of Christ in our lives, and recognising the transformative nature of the Gospel message in bringing salvation and redemption to all who believe.

Additionally, in God’s magnificent presence, the Prophet Isaiah beheld a vision of the Lord seated on His exalted and majestic throne, flanked by Seraphim, who declared the Lord’s holiness. This profound encounter serves as a poignant reminder to remain open and receptive to God’s divine call upon our lives, just as Isaiah humbly accepted his divine commission.

Similarly, the psalmist’s heartfelt expression of worship and gratitude towards the LORD in Psalms depicts the reverence and adoration we should have for the Creator of the heavens and the earth. Through songs of thanksgiving and praise, we, too, can exalt and honour the GOD of all creation in every aspect of our lives.

Reflecting on the miraculous account of Peter’s obedience to the command of the LORD JESUS and the subsequent overflowing catch of fish, we are reminded that GOD’s power and providence surpass human understanding. This narrative underscores the truth that we can witness remarkable manifestations of divine healing, restoration, and abundance through faith and obedience to GOD’s Word.

Paul’s testimony to the Corinthian believers regarding the transformative nature of the Gospel of CHRIST underscores the boundless grace and mercy that GOD extends towards His people. Despite our imperfections and failures, GOD’s saving grace, as exemplified through His Son, JESUS CHRIST, offers us salvation, redemption, and new beginnings.

As Pentecostal Christians, we must walk in the light of GOD’s glory, seeking healing, restoration, and transformation through Him. By interpreting His Word faithfully and applying His teachings in our daily lives, we can manifest His glory on earth and be living testimonies of His redeeming love and power to those around us.

PN 2). In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The Lord wraps Himself in light, spreading out the sky like a curtain. He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

The wide expanse of the sea, teeming with creatures, shows the Hand of God. The waters receive their life from Him, and all creatures depend on His Provision. The sun knows when to set, and darkness blankets the earth, allowing the creatures of the night to emerge.

Great are the works of the Lord, full of His Wisdom. The Earth is full of His Creatures, from the smallest insects to the mightiest animals. The Glory of God shines through all His Creation, and His Spirit moves across the land.

As Jesus Christ walked among the people, His Glory and Healing Power were evident. All who touched His Cloak were healed, for His Glory radiated from Him. The people were in awe and recognized the Presence of the Messiah in their midst.
