The Power of Revelation!
Prayers:
1. Sing songs of praise and worship to bless God.
2. Hindrance to my operating in God’s power of revelation, melt away by fire in the name of Jesus.
3. I receive blessings and liftings by the favor of God in the name of Jesus.
Song: Open our eyes Lord
Open our eyes, Lord,
we want to see Jesus,
to reach out and touch him,
and say that we love him.
Open our ears, Lord,
and help us to listen.
Open our eyes, Lord,
we want to see Jesus.
Text: 2 Corinthians 3:14-18
14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
What is Power?
Power is the actual ability to get things done. The capacity to do and perform an activity e.g. push a snowblower from one location to the other. While a child may not be able to do this due to lack of required power or limited power, an adult can successfully do this.
The Almighty God has limitless power and there is nothing He cannot do.
What is Revelation?
Revelation is the unveiling of a secret or making known a previously unknown or hidden fact or information.
What does Power of Revelation mean?
The power of revelation therefore is the ability to know a previously unknown or hidden fact or information. This power comes through divine revelation, since only God knows the past, present and future and how it can affect you. God is therefore able to reveal to you important secrets that could help you win in the battles of life and emerge a victor and king in your endeavors.
The power of revelation, therefore, delivers to you the capacity to be a winner and not just an onlooker.
It also confers upon you the honor and divine positioning to be a leader since you are aware of and control facts and information unknown to others.
This revelation lifted Joseph from prison to prime minister.
Revelation distinguished Ezekiel’s ministry
Revelation distinguished Daniel.
You will be distinguished by revelation in the name of Jesus.
Hence the power of revelation is something every high flyer needs and should have, and I dare say, must have.
We live in a world where the things you see were created by things you do not see
(Hebrews 11:3 - By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. ).
Hence, the unseen is very important to see and detect who is creating, what is being created, understand how it impacts you and how to avert things that will be unfavorable to you. You can therefore establish things that will be favorable to you.
Ezekiel 8
7So He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, there was a hole in the wall. 8Then He said to me, “Son of man, dig into the wall”; and when I dug into the wall, there was a door.
9And He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations which they are doing there.” 10So I went in and saw, and there—every sort of creeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, [b]portrayed all around on the walls. 11And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. Each man had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up. 12Then He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the room of his idols? For they say, ‘The Lord does not see us, the Lord has forsaken the land.’ ”
Ezekiel 11:1-4 God revealed to Ezekiel the 25 men who devise iniquity and give wicked counsel in the land. In the same vein, God can reveal to you those who give wicked counsel against you so you know how and what to pray and how to escape their traps.
We thank God for Canada, a country that accepts people from all over the world. You also note that when all these people come in, they come with their Idols and gods which they continue to worship, sacrifice and pay their obeisance to.
Jesus said to Peter that flesh and blood did not reveal to him that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah, the son of God.
Mathew 16:17: Then Jesus answered him, “Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, favored by God] are you, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood (mortal man) did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
Apostle Paul was caught up to the third heavens and saw unspeakable things, things difficult to articulate in words that mortal men can understand.
2 Corinthians 12
1It is necessary to boast, though nothing is gained by it; but I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. 2I know a [a]man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, [only] God knows--such a man was caught up to the [b]third heaven. 3And I know that such a man--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, [only] God knows-- 4was caught up into [c]Paradise and heard inexpressible words which man is not permitted to speak [words too sacred to tell].

There are depths of understanding that God can take you to when God's power of revelation is operating upon your life.
I pray that God will open your eyes to see the invisible, to see things that matter in the name of Jesus.
What you can see determines your speed e.g. when driving at night. What you can see determines your impact.
An Usher called his pastor that he should come and see a woman who just walked into church on her head. Some may look at the same woman and would only see she is walking normally on her feet, but someone with open eyes would see she is not an ordinary person. When our eyes are open, it will guide our actions. In the case of that woman, depending on who you are in Christ, you may not want to contest seats with her.
In a similar vein, something may happen in your office or elsewhere and you want to pick up the phone to express how you feel and God may ask you if you know the kind of spirit operating in the individual. God can show you who danced before idols at night before coming to the office or your place of business. When they bring food for everyone to eat, or you are doing a potluck in your office, God can show you which food to eat and which one not to eat.
