The invited prophet opens the service by announcing the month’s theme: “the manifestation of glory and blessing linked to the covenant.” He reminds the congregation that, although humans can err, the Holy Spirit never lies, and he lets himself be guided by the Spirit to explain how each believer must make visible the “deposit” that God has placed within him.
The Greek word manifesta means “to make visible, to reveal what was hidden.” Thus, manifesting God’s glory means bringing the invisible into view: God’s presence, power, character, and authority that dwell in the Christian. This manifestation is not limited to the church; it must extend to family, work, relationships, and every aspect of daily life.
The covenant is presented as the “bridge” between heaven and earth, initiated by God and sealed by the blood of Jesus. It guarantees God’s faithfulness, presence, and divine glory and is passed down from generation to generation (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc.). The pastor lists the five characteristics of a divine covenant: divine initiative, blood‑based foundation, promises and responsibilities, generational transmission, and the guarantee of God’s presence.

The seven practical principles:
1. The covenant creates a relationship of glory.
2. Obedience to the voice of God triggers the manifestation.
3. Separation and consecration protect the believer.
4. Faithfulness attracts favor and divine protection.
5. The blessings are generational.
6. The glory of the New Covenant exceeds that of the old.
7.Constant communion with Christ (John 15 4‑5) ensures fruit.
These principles are illustrated by passages from Romans 8, Isaiah 6, Hebrews 9, 1 Corinthians 9, etc., and by personal testimonies.
The prophet concludes by calling each listener to live “in covenant,” to remain faithful, obedient and set apart from the world so that the glory of God becomes visible, palpable and a source of blessing for themselves and their descendants. He reminds that where the covenant is honored, the glory of God manifests, the blessings become visible and the believer becomes a conduit of the power of God in the world. Hallelujah.
