Glory In A Dry Land
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of
the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).
The Lord testified of David that he was a man
after His own heart (Acts 13:22). When you
study about David, you’ll discover he was so passionate
about the glory of God. The pursuit of his soul was
to have and to see the glory of God. In Psalm 63:1-2,
he said, “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek
thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for
thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To
see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee
in the sanctuary.”
What a declaration! He described the land as “a
dry and thirsty land, where no water is.” “Water,” in
this context, typifies the Spirit of God. “A dry and thirsty
land” typifies a place that’s destitute of the Spirit of
God; a desolate land. David saw in the visions of God
that in the sanctuary of God, there’s glory, and there’s
power; so he yearned to see the same glory in a land
destitute of the Spirit of God.
That tells us something; it makes no difference
what obtains in the city or nation where you live or the
demons in that particular region that hold sway over
men’s lives; you can seek the manifestation of the glory
of God in that place. It doesn’t matter the wickedness
that has festered or the hunger, depravity, terror, and
fear that have kept men in bondage; in that “dry and
thirsty” land, you can establish the glory of God.
You do this through intercession and proclamation
of the Word. Get filled with the Spirit and proclaim the
Word over such countries, regions, cities, and towns.
Don’t be quiet; keep at it until the anointing wells up
in you to proclaim the Word of God that’ll change
things. Under that unction, declare with boldness that
the glory of God in the Gospel of Christ fills that land.
Soon enough, the light of God’s Word that brings
salvation, deliverance, and prosperity will shine brightly
in those hitherto dark regions, and there’ll be a great
harvest of souls. Hallelujah!
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the glorious light of your Gospel
that’s beaming intensely on the dark places of the earth, bringing
salvation, deliverance, prosperity, and imparting righteousness
to the spirits of men. I declare that your glory covers the earth,
lighting men’s lives to do your will, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
