“The end of something is better than its beginning. It is better to be patient than arrogant…Don’t ask, “Why were things better in the old days than they are now?” It isn’t wisdom that leads you to ask this!” – Ecclesiastes 7:8 & 10 God`s Word Translation.
Ever-Increasing Glory Demands Growth in Knowledge
Last week, we established a profound truth: EVER-INCREASING GLORY requires EVER-INCREASING KNOWLEDGE. As Proverbs 19:2 (AMP) reminds us, “It is not good for a person to be without knowledge…”
We live in a time of exponential innovation; a season already prophesied in Daniel 12:4 (NLV): “…knowledge will be more and more.” This is not a time for spiritual laziness. This is a time to wake up and rise.
DON’T SNOOZE ON YOUR SEASON!
Beloved, spiritual slumber is a thief of destiny. EVER-INCREASING GLORY is not for the casual—it is for the committed. If you neglect the pursuit of relevant knowledge, you may miss the very moment God prepared for you. Stagnation in learning is a ticket to extinction, as learning is no longer an option in the age of exponential innovation!
ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR LIFE
Sir Winston Churchill (November 30, 1874 – January 24, 1965) was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. He was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, writer, and artist. Churchill also won the Nobel Prize in Literature and was the first person to be made an honorary citizen of the United States.
Sir Winston Churchill said, “To every man there comes in his lifetime that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to his talents, what a tragedy if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for that which would be his finest hour.” That quote is not just history; it’s a wake-up call for every believer.
THIS IS YOUR FINEST HOUR!
Heaven is tapping your shoulder. This is your moment, uniquely fitted to your calling and your gift. This season of EVER-INCREASING GLORY is not just about receiving—it’s about becoming. Don’t let your finest hour become your biggest regret.
WAKE UP! THE CLOCK IS TICKING
Romans 13:11–14 (AMP) speaks directly to this generation: “Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. The night [this present evil age] is almost gone, and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light. Let us conduct ourselves properly and honorably as in the [light of] day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and irresponsibility, not in quarreling and jealousy. But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for [nor even think about gratifying] the flesh in regard to its improper desires.”
This isn’t just about personal success. It’s about eternal significance.
Now is the time to:
Fling off darkness
Put on the armor of light
Walk honorably
Clothe yourself with Christ
This is not the season to play—it’s the season to prepare!
Your ever-increasing glory is directly connected to your ever-increasing growth. Knowledge is your ladder. Diligence is your grip. Glory is your destination. Don’t just hope for it—prepare for it. [To be continued next week).
