Who Is an ELDER in the Kingdom of God?

-
The concept of an ELDER carries great significance, not only in cultural terms but even more profoundly in spiritual understanding. 
A Yoruba adage says, “ÃŒrírí ná pè ní àgbà,” meaning, “The experiential knowledge sustained by a person is what qualifies him or her to be called an elder.”

But in the realm of God’s kingdom, being an elder transcends cultural definitions. 
A glimpse into the 24 Elders around the throne of the Monarch of Zion reveals the core of what makes one an elder in God's language. It’s not just age or experience in the natural but the illumination and divine knowledge they have acquired in God.

These elders, who bow before the throne, carry the weight of eternal wisdom, insight, and the kind of light that comes from accessing the deep mysteries of God. They are not elders because of time spent on earth but because of timeless knowledge and understanding gained in God’s eternal presence.

So The Question To Reflect On Today Is: 
How much illumination have you acquired in God? 
Are you growing in His light, or are you content with the shadows of worldly wisdom? 
The mark of true eldership in God’s kingdom is your access to His pure light and your commitment to walking in it.

Dear readers, aspire not just to age but to grow in the wisdom, truth, and eternal illumination of the Most High.
May you be found worthy in your pursuit of God’s light.

The Kingdom of God — A Land of Vast Treasures

-
The Kingdom of God is a land overflowing with divine treasures, mysteries, and eternal riches. However, these treasures remain hidden to those whose eyes are not yet opened.

Jesus Himself likened the Kingdom of Heaven to a treasure hidden in a field, which a man, upon discovering, sells everything he owns just to secure it (Matthew 13:44).  This tells us that access to the endless riches of God's Kingdom requires a divine exchange—laying down everything in our lives for the Lordship of Christ. To partake in this Kingdom, we must be willing to surrender fully. The key to unlocking the vast treasures of God's domain is not in mere religious activities but in absolute submission to the authority of Christ in every area of our lives. The total requirement to receive ALL of God is to give ALL of ourselves to Him. There is no other way to enter into the ful...

The Power and Mystery of Names in Divine Ordination

-
Names are not mere labels; they are a stature of divine ordination and identity. Whenever a bearer appears, the name they carry speaks volumes about their destiny, purpose, and assignment. When it comes to God, however, His names reveal mysteries far beyond human comprehension. There are names that only God Himself can bear, names that reflect His unmatched capacity, eternal nature, and supreme authority. One such name is " I AM THAT I AM ". This profound name reveals God’s infinite nature—He is limitless, unconstrained by time, circumstances, or creation. It speaks of His ability to be whatever He chooses to be in fulfilling His purpose. When God called Himself " I AM THAT I AM " in Exodus 3:14 , it was a declaration of His self-sufficiency and His ability to handle any situation without external help. Another unique identity is " THE FATHER OF ALL SPIRITS ". This title underscores God as the Source and Sustainer of all life. Everything that exists in the...
