The invited prophet opens the service by announcing the month\u2019s theme: \u201cthe manifestation of glory and blessing linked to the covenant.\u201d 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 \u201cdeposit\u201d that God has placed within him.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\r\n
The Greek word manifesta means \u201cto make visible, to reveal what was hidden.\u201d Thus, manifesting God\u2019s glory means bringing the invisible into view: God\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\r\n
The covenant is presented as the \u201cbridge\u201d between heaven and earth, initiated by God and sealed by the blood of Jesus. It guarantees God\u2019s 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\u2011based foundation, promises and responsibilities, generational transmission, and the guarantee of God\u2019s presence.

The seven practical principles: <\/strong><\/p> <\/p>\r\n1.\u202fThe covenant creates a relationship of glory. <\/p>\r\n2.\u202fObedience to the voice of God triggers the manifestation. <\/p>\r\n3.\u202fSeparation and consecration protect the believer. <\/p>\r\n4.\u202fFaithfulness attracts favor and divine protection. <\/p>\r\n5.\u202fThe blessings are generational. <\/p>\r\n6.\u202fThe glory of the New Covenant exceeds that of the old. <\/p>\r\n7.Constant communion with Christ (John\u202f15\u202f4\u20115) ensures fruit. <\/p>\r\nThese principles are illustrated by passages from Romans\u202f8, Isaiah\u202f6, Hebrews\u202f9, 1\u202fCorinthians\u202f9, etc., and by personal testimonies. <\/p>\r\n <\/p> <\/p>\r\n <\/p> The prophet concludes by calling each listener to live \u201cin covenant,\u201d 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.\r\n <\/p><\/h6>\n<\/h6>\r\n
