The online Oxford dictionary defines the word ‘Information’ as facts or details about somebody / something. Likewise it defines the word ‘Revelation’ as a fact that people are made aware of, especially one that has been secret and is surprising.
Whether worldly or spiritually when it comes to information we are loaded with it, my 12 years old son Yisrael is loaded with General Knowledge and information much more than me and at times it is amazing. Information is not wrong to gather, but will that information be a blessing to you someday is a question mark.
In reality, we have hardly used the information we learned and received in school and colleges in our day-to-day life and even that has not guaranteed us success. For eg:- we have learned advance maths, but in our daily life we never even needed it except addition, subtractions, multiplication and division. The information of the world has, seems to be so vast but that is not the case when it comes to spiritual.
Revelation is more than facts that we receive directly from the Holy Spirit. Revelation can be beneficial throughout our lifetime. Read the above scripture and just ponder as the Psalmist says, the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, in other words that the words of our very mouth at times can be unacceptable including the meditation of our heart if it is not aligned with God’s will and His word. The logos word of the Bible is an informative word to us, but the secrets that are released from those words when we meditate, births a Revelation.
You can be well informed (literally well trained) in scriptures and in memorization but will that profit you if you have not received the revelation by meditating on it. Read the below scripture, these are the words of Jesus in John 3:12 “If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things ?
The Revelation of God’s Word is like manna for us which comes from Heaven, it is completely fresh and we need it daily. We cannot depend on yesterday’s manna also you cannot rely on other person’s manna (Revelation). A revelation released 20 years back cannot guarantee effectiveness in our case because it was their experience and their encounter.
For eg:- A Man of God inspired by the Holy Spirit has written a book and released it, which seems powerful and effective, but if I want the same experience, will it work for me with that same effectiveness ? May be God has kept something more better for me after reading that book, which I maybe unable to understand and there are chances, I fail to achieve the same from the book I needed and it can be frustrating.
We can often walk in the same mantle and anointing but in an upgraded version and that’s the beauty. As we don’t enjoy the features of a car that was engineered 25 years back as compared to the latest technology of the present, likewise your revelation should be fresh for each day.
As the world is seeking to invent, explore, invade something new each day, even we as children of Gods sould desperately seek God’s face to be a better version of ourself. Be a competitor of your own, a better and an upgraded version of your own each day. May your family be your witness, testifying about you that you are no-more your old version. Do not be like the old car engine which is only existing now and can break down anytime. Let go off your stubbornness and old habits which was nuisance to everyone around you.
Remember you are the 5th Gospel of Jesus Christ and the people around you will read your life and observe your action before you preach them your revelation.
Prayer :- Precious Holy Spirit, help me to be a better version of myself each day as I seek your face. Give me grace and change my life so that your name be glorified in and through me in Jesus name, Amen.
