John 14:6

Father of Glory

Hello, Special Reader — Before we get started, let us pray.

In Jesus name, Heavenly Father, we thank You. Thank You for bringing this wonderful soul here to meet with You. We know it is not by chance or a coincidence. We know it is a divine appointment. So right now, Lord, we ask that whatever You had for them, they would see it. Whatever You wanted to give them, they would receive it in Jesus name.

Please Lord, open their heart to receive, their ears to hear, and their eyes to see You clearly. Remove anything that would block them from hearing You. May Your Spirit speak, move, and transform them, so that You are glorified, and so that they walk away changed. In Jesus name. Amen.

The Father of Glory…

What does it mean to be the father of something? In essence, when “father of something” is used figuratively, it highlights the individual or entity that played a fundamental role in bringing that “something” into existence, establishing its importance, or acting as its primary source or influence.

For example, Hippocrates, known as the “Father of Medicine,” introduced ethical practices and systematic observation in healing, laying the foundation for modern medicine. Abraham was called the “Father of Many Nations” because, through his faith and obedience, God blessed him with a lineage, a people set apart, even when he had no children. He was not just the biological father of Isaac, but the spiritual father of all who believe (Romans 4:16).

So when we hear the name “Father of Glory”, it means God is the Originator of Glory. God is the Source of Glory. God is the Sustainer of Glory. God is the Owner of Glory. Without the One who creates it, without the One who defines it and sustains it, we cannot experience the real weight or beauty of Glory.

Some of us may have had a taste of His glory before, by His mercy. Maybe in worship. Maybe in a moment of prayer. Maybe in a breakthrough that only God could have done. But instead of remaining under His covering, we stepped out trying to sustain it ourselves. We got a glimpse of the glory but then made the mistake of thinking we could carry it, grow it, or keep it without Him.

The Holy Spirit is revealing that glory cannot be stewarded without the fear of the Lord. It is not light. It is not casual. It is not something we wear to feel special. It is weighty. It is holy. The moment we begin to think it came from us or that we can manage it without God, we step out of the realm of true glory and into the realm of self.

God does not share His glory with another. Not because He is selfish, but because it would destroy us. Our flesh was never built to carry what only He can sustain.

So when we call Him the Father of Glory, we are declaring that every glimpse, every encounter, every revelation, every holy moment has a source, and it is Him. We do not create it. We receive it. We bow under it. We reverence the One who lets us taste it.

And if we want to walk in glory, we must stay surrendered to the One who fathers it. The moment we detach from Him, we detach from the very life of glory itself. But the good news is this: when we return to the Source, when we humble ourselves again and acknowledge Him as Father, He is faithful to restore what we lost, because His glory is not just power. It is also mercy. It is Jesus.

Let this be the posture of our hearts as we go deeper. Let this be the fear of the Lord that leads us into life.

Let us pray together:

Father, in Jesus name, I repent for all the times I did not return Your glory. For all the times I tried to claim it unrightfully as mine. All the times I tried to sustain it myself. I confess my sins, O God, I plead for Your forgiveness and mercy. Please restore to me Your Glory in Jesus name, Amen!.

Let the King of Glory Enter

When we enter the presence of God, we experience His glory. The two cannot be separated. His presence is not empty or light. It is filled with His weight, His beauty, His power, His holiness, and His goodness. Wherever God is, His glory fills that place.

We see this truth repeated throughout Scripture. In Exodus 33, Moses pleaded with God, saying, “Show me Your glory.” God responded by allowing His presence to pass before Moses. With that presence came His goodness, His name, and His character. In 2 Chronicles chapter 5, when the priests lifted their voices in one accord, a cloud filled the temple. The glory of the Lord was so heavy that the priests could not even stand to minister. In Isaiah chapter 6, when Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up, the very threshold shook. He was overwhelmed by the glory and holiness that surrounded him.

But here is something that’s important and that we must know. We cannot enter the presence of God without Christ Jesus. He is not just a helper or a guide. He is the Gate. He is the Way. He is the visible expression of the invisible God. If we want to know what God looks like, if we want to understand His heart, His mercy, His justice, and His nature, we do not have to wonder. We look at Jesus.

Colossians 1:15 tells us that Jesus is “the image of the invisible God.” The Greek word used for ‘image’ means exact representation. Jesus is not a shadow or a partial reflection. He is the full and perfect revelation of the Father. In John chapter 14, Jesus told His disciples, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” He made it clear that no one needs to look beyond Him to find God. Every act of love, every moment of compassion, every word of truth from Jesus was the Father on full display.

Colossians 2:9 says, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.“ Jesus did not just carry pieces of God. He carried the entire nature of God in human form. That means when Jesus walked the earth, the glory of God walked among us. John chapter 1 confirms this. It says, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory.” The disciples did not just hear about glory. They saw it. They walked with it. They touched it. The glory of God was not hidden behind a veil. It had a face, and that face was Jesus.

2 Corinthians 4:6 makes this even clearer. It says that God has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. The glory is not behind Him or beside Him. It is in His face. When you look at Jesus healing the leper, you see the mercy of God. When you see Him weep for Lazarus, you see the compassion of God. When He dies on the cross, you see the justice and love of God meet. When He rises, you see the power of God to make all things new.

And when we truly see Him, something happens. We begin to change. 2 Corinthians 3:8 tells us that when we behold the glory of the Lord, we are transformed from glory to glory. This means that as we gaze on Jesus, as we fix our eyes on who He is, His glory works within us. He does not just show us glory. He makes us reflect it.

Now this brings us to the call in Psalm 24:7-10. It says, “Open up, ancient gates. Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of Glory enter.” This Scripture is not just a historical reflection or a poetic cry. It is a present command. The ancient gates represent every place that has been closed to the Lord. The hardened hearts, the churches that have grown cold, the cities and nations that have turned away. These gates have been locked for generations in some places. But the Spirit of the Lord is crying out, “Open up.”

This is not a call for a visit. It is a call for a dwelling place. When the King of Glory enters, He does not come to pass through. He comes to take His rightful seat. And wherever He is welcomed as King, He fills that place with glory. This is not a light moment. It is a divine invitation.

Only through Jesus can we enter the gates that lead to the presence of God. Only through Jesus can we see and know the glory of the Father. But more than that, when we truly behold Jesus, we are promised transformation. We are promised a life of glory. 2 Corinthians chapter 3 confirms that the glory does not just rest upon us. It changes us. We are formed by it. We are conformed to the image of the One we behold.

So this is the invitation. Open the gates. Make room. Remove the distractions. Lay aside the pride. Turn your heart fully toward Him. Let the King of Glory enter. Because when He comes in, His glory comes with Him.

And where there is glory, there is life.

And where there is Jesus, there is the fullness of God.

Will you open the gates?

Will you make room for the King?

Let the King of Glory enter!.
