The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. What if the descriptions of the body of Jesus Christ in Scripture are not merely descriptions of what John or Ezekiel saw—but windows into the invisible God? John was on Patmos when he heard a voice behind him. He turned, and what he saw was extraordinary: a figure like the Son of Man, standing among seven golden lampstands. His hair was white like wool, His eyes were like blazing fire, His feet like bronze glowing in a furnace, His voice like rushing waters, and His face like the sun in all its brilliance. John did not encounter an idea. He encountered a Person. He encountered Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, in the appearance of a man and with a body (Revelation 1:1–2, 12–17; Ezekiel 1:26). This gives us a remarkable way of reading Scripture: the Body of the Word is a revelation of the invisible God. Hebrews 1:3 calls Christ “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” Paul similarly speaks of “the light of the knowledge of God’s glory” in the face of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6). Therefore, when Scripture describes the eyes, face, feet, voice, garments, or other details of the Word, these descriptions are not empty imagery. They invite us to inquire into the Person they reveal. Consider the eyes. John says: “His eyes were like blazing fire.” — Revelation 1:14 Why blazing fire? Hebrews 12:29 tells us, “Our God is a consuming fire.” The image therefore takes us beyond the physical description of eyes. It begins to tell us something about the nature, passion, desire and activity of God. The Body of the Word becomes a language through which the invisible God makes Himself known. And this is where the subject becomes particularly provocative. The Father has a hunger. We often speak about our hunger for God. But what if Scripture also teaches us to consider the hunger of God? Isaiah speaks of the tongue of the Lord as a consuming fire (Isaiah 30:27). Jesus declares: “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” — John 6:33 And: “I am the bread of life.” — John 6:35 Then He makes the statement even more striking: “This bread is my flesh.” — John 6:51 The bread placed continually before God in the tabernacle was called the bread of the Presence (Exodus 25:30). So the Body of the Word is not merely something we study. In this revelation, the Body of the Word is the food of God—the object of the Father’s intense desire. The dining table becomes a powerful picture. Song of Solomon 7:2 speaks of a rounded goblet, blended wine and a mound of wheat. The imagery presents the Body as a place of nourishment and abundance. What if our understanding of the Body of the Word is itself part of the Father’s desire? What if the question is not merely, “How much do I know about God?” But: “What does God desire to find in me?” This takes us directly to the image of the blazing eyes. The eye is described by Jesus as the lamp of the body (Matthew 6:22). The blazing eyes of the Word therefore present another dimension of the Body: the lamp of God. A lamp searches. A lamp illuminates. A lamp reveals what is hidden. Psalm 11:5 says that the Lord examines the righteous, while Psalm 14:2 says that He looks down from heaven to see whether there is anyone who understands and seeks Him. Notice the connection. The blazing eyes are not merely looking at us. They are looking for something in us. They are looking for understanding. The Father is looking for the knowledge of the Body of the Word in the hearts and minds of His people. That changes the way we think about revelation. Psalm 119:130 says: “The unfolding of your words gives light and understanding to the simple.” The Word contains depths that must be unfolded. And when the details of the Body of the Word are unfolded, they bring light—the revelation knowledge of the Father (Psalm 119:130; 2 Corinthians 4:6). This is also why Jesus said: “These are the Scriptures that testify about me.” — John 5:39 The Scriptures are not merely information about religious subjects. They testify about a Person. The descriptions of the Body of the Word therefore become places of investigation. The eyes speak. The face speaks. The feet speak. The garments speak. The voice speaks. And through these descriptions, we begin to encounter dimensions of the Person of the Word—and consequently dimensions of the Father. The emotions of God are also revealed. Isaiah 59:17 describes God clothing Himself with zeal “as a cloak.” A garment covers and expresses the person wearing it. If the garments of God are described through Scripture, and Scripture testifies about the Word, then the imagery of God's garments becomes another doorway into understanding His Person. The Body of the Word, therefore, becomes a profound vocabulary for understanding the emotions of God. His zeal. His longing. His desire. His hunger. His compassion. His grief. His expectation. His pleasure. His intensity. These are not abstract theological categories. They are dimensions of the Person of God that Scripture progressively reveals. And who searches these depths for us? The Holy Spirit. Jesus says in John 16:13–15 that the Spirit of truth will take what belongs to Christ and make it known to us. Paul adds: “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” — 1 Corinthians 2:10 The Body of the Word is therefore not a closed mystery. It is a treasury to be searched. The Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God and unfolds them so that we can know the Father more precisely. This is why revelation is more than acquiring information. Revelation is discovering what is already contained in the Person of the Word. And perhaps this explains one of the great spiritual questions of our time: Why does God seem to be searching the hearts of His people? Because the Father is looking for a place where the Body of theWord can be understood. He is looking for hearts that can become tables upon which His food is received. He is looking for minds that can accommodate the revelation of His Son. He is looking for people who will not merely quote Scripture, but will allow Scripture to reveal the Person of Christ. The blazing eyes of the Word are still searching. And the question is: What are they looking for in us? Perhaps the answer is simpler—and more demanding—than we imagined: Understanding. An understanding of the Body of the Word. An understanding of the Father. An understanding deep enough to shape how we live, how we build, how we govern, how we work, and ultimately how we participate in the economic destinies of nations. The Father wants His form reproduced on the earth through people who have seen, understood and received the revelation of the Body of the Word. This is why we must return to Scripture—not merely to read it, but to unfold it. Because somewhere within the details is light. And somewhere within the light is the knowledge of the Father. And somewhere within that knowledge is the revelation of the Person of the Word. I am Omodolapo Ogunye.

The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. There is a dimension of Scripture that invites us to look beyond words on a page and to contemplate the Person whom the Scriptures reveal. This is where our journey into the Body of the Word begins. The Apostle John, on the island of Patmos, received a revelation of Jesus Christ. He did not merely hear a voice; he saw the One who spoke. “I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me…” — Revelation 1:12 What John saw was remarkable: someone “like a Son of Man,” standing among the golden lampstands. He saw His robe, His golden sash, His head and hair, His eyes, His feet, His voice, His right hand, His mouth and His face. His eyes were “like blazing fire.” His feet were “like bronze glowing in a furnace.” His voice was “like the sound of rushing waters.” His face was “like the sun shining in all its brilliance.” — Revelation 1:12–17 This gives us an extraordinary picture. The Word of God is a living Person. The Word has an appearance. The Word has a body. The Word can be seen. Ezekiel likewise describes the figure seated upon the throne as having “the appearance of a man” (Ezekiel 1:26). And Hebrews gives us the understanding what this means: “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” — Hebrews 1:3 Therefore, when Scripture gives us detailed descriptions of the Body of the Word, those descriptions are not insignificant details. They direct our attention toward the Person of the Word of God and, through Him, toward the revelation of the invisible God. Paul says that God gives us: “the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 4:6 The face of Christ becomes a window through which the glory of the invisible God is made known. The Scriptures Must Be Unfolded Jesus said something very important: “These are the very Scriptures that testify about me.” — John 5:39 The Scriptures are therefore not merely information about religious history. They testify about a Person. And when those Scriptures are unfolded, they produce light: “The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.” — Psalm 119:130 This means that revelation is not simply the accumulation of more biblical information. It is the unfolding of what has been written until the Person being revealed becomes clearer. Consider one example. John saw the eyes of the Word and described them as “like blazing fire” (Revelation 1:14). Ezekiel also describes the appearance of the One seated on the throne in terms of fire (Ezekiel 1:27). Then Scripture tells us: “Our God is a consuming fire.” — Hebrews 12:29 Fire therefore becomes a language through which Scripture helps us contemplate something about God. And this is where the revelation becomes provocative. What does the fire tell us? Isaiah speaks of the Lord with the language of consuming fire: “His tongue is a consuming fire.” — Isaiah 30:27 The picture is one of intensity, passion and consuming desire. The revelation of the Body of the Word, therefore, begins to open our understanding of the desire, appetite, passion and zeal of God. God is not presented in Scripture as an impersonal force without desire. He has zeal. He has longings. He has purposes. He has pleasure. He has passions. And the revelation of the Body of the Word gives us a framework through which these dimensions of God's Person can be contemplated. The Body of the Word and the Hunger of the Father Here the language becomes particularly striking. If the Body of the Word is revealed as blazing fire, and fire communicates the intensity of divine desire, then the Body of the Word can be contemplated as the aggressive hunger of the Father—the consuming desire of God centred upon the Body of the Word. This takes us into the language of food. God commanded concerning the bread of the Presence: “Put the bread of the Presence on this table before me at all times.” — Exodus 25:30 Jesus then declares: “I am the bread of life.” — John 6:35 And again: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven.” — John 6:51 The language of bread, food, table and nourishment therefore becomes part of the biblical vocabulary through which we contemplate the Body of the Word. The Body of the Word becomes the food before the Father. The Body of the Word becomes the table of divine appetite. The Body of the Word becomes the place where the hunger of the Father is revealed. Song of Songs gives us another striking image: “Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies.” — Song of Songs 7:2 The imagery is agricultural, nutritional and bodily. It invites us to see Scripture not merely as abstract theology but as a language filled with pictures—bread, wine, wheat, fire, garments, eyes, faces, tables and bodies. These images become avenues through which the Person of the Word is unfolded. The Zeal of God Isaiah says: “He put on righteousness as his breastplate… he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.” — Isaiah 59:17 Notice the language. Zeal is a garment. God is described as wearing zeal. And if the garments of God can be read alongside the revelation of the Body of the Word, then the garment becomes another doorway into understanding the Person of the Word and the emotions expressed through Him. This brings us to a profound question: What does God feel? What is His longing? What gives Him pleasure? What provokes His zeal? What brings Him joy? What grieves Him? What does He desire to see in humanity? What does He search for? The revelation of the Body of the Word opens these questions. The Emotions of God The emotions of God are not presented here as human emotions projected onto God. Rather, Scripture itself gives us language for speaking about God's zeal, compassion, pleasure, anger, grief, longing and delight. The Body of the Word becomes a rich portal for exploring these dimensions of God's Person. The detailed descriptions become like containers of revelation. John sees eyes like blazing fire. He sees a face shining like the sun. He hears a voice like rushing waters. He sees feet like glowing bronze. He sees a mouth from which comes a sharp double-edged sword. These are not random images. They are biblical descriptions through which the Word of God is unveiled. And as the Scriptures are unfolded, they give light. That light enables us to see more deeply into the Person of the Father revealed in the Son. The Holy Spirit Searches the Deep Things This is where the ministry of the Holy Spirit becomes essential. Jesus said: “When he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth… He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.” — John 16:13–15 The Holy Spirit does not lead us away from the Person of the Word of God. He reveals The Word of God. He takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known. Paul adds: “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” — 1 Corinthians 2:10 There are depths in God that cannot be reached merely by intellectual observation. The Spirit searches. The Spirit unfolds. The Spirit illuminates. The Spirit makes known. And the Body of the Word becomes one of the great territories through which these depths are explored. The Body of the Word as the Lamp of God Return again to the eyes. “His eyes were like blazing fire.” — Revelation 1:14 Jesus said: “The eye is the lamp of the body.” — Matthew 6:22 The imagery of the eye and lamp therefore gives us another dimension of the revelation. The Body of the Word, represented by blazing eyes, becomes associated with illumination and searching. God sees. God examines. God searches. Psalm 11:5 says: “The Lord examines the righteous.” Psalm 14:2 says: “The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.” This is a remarkable thought. What is the divine search looking for? Understanding. God is looking for people who understand. And within the revelation we are exploring, He is looking for the understanding of the Body of the Word—the knowledge of Christ that enables us to see the Father more deeply. The lamp is searching. The eyes are blazing. The Scriptures are being unfolded. The Spirit is searching the deep things. And light is being produced. Perhaps, then, the question is not simply: “Do I read the Bible?” The deeper question is: “What do I see when the Scriptures are unfolded?” Do I merely see words? Or do I encounter the Person to whom the words testify? Do I merely collect information? Or am I receiving revelation? Do I merely study Scripture? Or is the Scripture unveiling the Person of the Word and, through Him, the glory of the invisible Father? This is the invitation of the Body of the Word. To look again. To search deeper. To unfold the Scriptures. To see Christ. To know the Father. Father, thank You for the revelation of Yourself to us through Jesus Christ. Give us eyes to see, hearts to understand and minds capable of receiving the light that comes from the unfolding of Your Word. By Your Spirit, lead us deeper into the knowledge of Christ and the glory of the invisible Father. In Jesus' name. Amen.

The Body of the Word becomes the food before the Father. The Body of the Word becomes the table of divine appetite. The Body of the Word becomes the place where the hunger of the Father is revealed. Song of Songs gives us another striking image: “Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies.” — Song of Songs 7:2 The imagery is agricultural, nutritional and bodily.

The Zeal of God Isaiah says: “He put on righteousness as his breastplate… he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.” — Isaiah 59:17 Notice the language.

This brings us to a profound question: What does God feel? What is His longing? What gives Him pleasure? What provokes His zeal? What brings Him joy? What grieves Him?

He reveals The Word of God. He takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known. Paul adds: “The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” — 1 Corinthians 2:10 There are depths in God that cannot be reached merely by intellectual observation. The Spirit searches. The Spirit unfolds. The Spirit illuminates. The Spirit makes known. And the Body of the Word becomes one of the great territories through which these depths are explored. The Body of the Word as the Lamp of God Return again to the eyes. “His eyes were like blazing fire.” — Revelation 1:14 Jesus said: “The eye is the lamp of the body.” — Matthew 6:22 The imagery of the eye and lamp therefore gives us another dimension of the revelation. The Body of the Word, represented by blazing eyes, becomes associated with illumination and searching. God sees. God examines. God searches. Psalm 11:5 says: “The Lord examines the righteous.” Psalm 14:2 says: “The Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.” This is a remarkable thought. What is the divine search looking for? Understanding. God is looking for people who understand. And within the revelation we are exploring, He is looking for the understanding of the Body of the Word—the knowledge of Christ that enables us to see the Father more deeply. The lamp is searching. The eyes are blazing. The Scriptures are being unfolded. The Spirit is searching the deep things. And light is being produced.

A Nugget of Truth. GENESIS AND REVELATION THE BEGINNING EXPLAINS THE END Why The First Book Of The Bible Is The Key To Understanding The Last There are few books in the Bible that fascinate people as much as Genesis and Revelation. Genesis opens with the words, "In the beginning," while Revelation closes with a vision of God's eternal kingdom. One begins with creation. The other ends with a new creation. One introduces humanity's greatest problem. The other reveals God's final solution. Many people approach Revelation as though it stands alone. They read its visions, symbols, and prophecies as a collection of mysterious puzzles waiting to be solved. They search for clues in today's headlines, political events, and world affairs. Yet the writer of Revelation does something very different. Again and again, he reaches back into the pages of Genesis. It is almost as though he is saying, "If you want to understand where this story ends, you must first understand where it began." Imagine walking into a theatre just before the final act of a great play. The stage is filled with dramatic action. Characters appear who have histories you do not know. Old conflicts are reaching their climax. Long-forgotten promises are finally being fulfilled. You may understand what is happening in the moment, but you cannot fully appreciate why it matters. The ending only makes complete sense if you have seen the beginning. That is the relationship between Genesis and Revelation. They are not two separate stories. They are the opening and closing chapters of one great story. Genesis plants the seeds. Revelation shows the harvest. Genesis asks the questions. Revelation provides the answers. The last book of the Bible is not meant to replace the first. It is meant to complete it. This is why a correct understanding of Revelation begins in Genesis. The themes, symbols, and messages that fill the final book are introduced long before John wrote his visions on the island of Patmos. Revelation assumes that its readers already know the language of Genesis. Without that foundation, many of its images become strange and confusing. With that foundation, those same images become rich with meaning. Genesis begins with a perfect world. God creates the heavens and the earth, fills them with beauty and order, and places humanity in a garden where His presence is enjoyed without fear. Everything is as it should be. There is harmony between God and humanity, between humanity and creation, and within creation itself. This is the world as God intended it. Revelation ends by showing that same purpose fulfilled. John does not simply describe people escaping from the earth to live somewhere else. Instead, he sees a new heaven and a new earth where God once again lives with His people. The story does not end with creation being abandoned. It ends with creation being renewed. What was broken in Genesis is restored in Revelation. Many people think Eden disappears after Adam and Eve are driven out. In reality, Eden remains one of the Bible's most important pictures. It is introduced in Genesis, but its beauty echoes all the way to Revelation. In Genesis, a river flows through the garden, watering the land and giving life. The Tree of Life stands in its midst as a symbol of eternal fellowship with God. After sin enters the world, humanity loses access to that tree. When Revelation reaches its closing chapters, the Tree of Life appears again. Once more, a river flows from the presence of God, bringing life wherever it goes. The difference is striking. In Eden, humanity was expelled from the garden because of sin. In the New Jerusalem, God's people are welcomed into His presence forever. The tree that was once guarded is now freely available. What was lost has been restored. Notice that God does not invent a new symbol at the end of the Bible. He returns to one introduced at the beginning. Revelation assumes its readers remember Genesis. The same pattern appears in the story of the serpent. The serpent enters Genesis quietly. There are no flashing warnings or dramatic announcements. He simply speaks. His weapon is deception. He convinces humanity to distrust God, and through that deception sin and death enter the world. Many chapters later, Revelation identifies that same enemy as "the ancient serpent." John removes all doubt about his identity. The serpent of Eden has become the dragon who opposes God's purposes throughout history. This is no accident. Genesis introduces the conflict. Revelation concludes it. The serpent wins an early battle in the garden, but he does not win the war. Even in the darkness of Genesis, God makes a promise that one day the offspring of the woman will crush the serpent's head. That promise hangs over the rest of the Bible like the first rays of sunrise before the sun itself appears. Revelation shows that sunrise in its fullness. The serpent who brought death is finally defeated. The conflict that began in a quiet garden reaches its conclusion before the throne of God. Death follows the same journey. Before Genesis 3, death is unknown. It has no place in God's creation. Sin opens the door, and death enters behind it like an unwelcome guest who refuses to leave. By the time we arrive at Revelation, death itself stands before God for judgment. The enemy that entered through Adam's disobedience is finally destroyed. John hears the astonishing promise that there will be no more death, no more mourning, no more crying, and no more pain. The Bible's story is not simply about forgiveness. It is about reversal. Everything that entered through sin is removed through God's redeeming work. The curse also follows this remarkable pattern. Genesis records God's judgment upon a world fractured by rebellion. The ground is cursed. Work becomes painful. Sorrow becomes part of everyday life. The closing pages of Revelation contain one simple but breathtaking declaration: "there shall be no more curse." Those few words quietly announce that every consequence of humanity's rebellion has finally been undone. The long shadow cast over the world in Genesis has at last disappeared. Even the first marriage in Genesis points beyond itself. Adam and Eve become husband and wife in a relationship that reflects God's design for humanity. Yet Revelation reveals that this first marriage was pointing toward a greater one. The Bible ends with the marriage supper of the Lamb, where Christ is united forever with His redeemed people. The first wedding was never the final destination. It was an early picture of a greater reality still to come. Perhaps one of the most overlooked connections is found in the cities of the Bible. Genesis tells the story of Babel, where humanity gathers to build a tower reaching toward heaven. It is a city built on pride, self-sufficiency, and rebellion. People attempt to make a name for themselves without God. Revelation describes another great city called Babylon. Although separated by many centuries, it carries the same spirit as Babel. Human arrogance has simply grown larger. The names are different, but the heart is the same. Yet Revelation does not end with Babylon. It ends with another city descending from heaven. Unlike Babel, this city is not built by human ambition. Its a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Humanity once tried to climb its way into heaven. In Revelation, heaven comes down to humanity. That contrast captures the entire message of redemption. Salvation is never humanity reaching God. It is God coming to humanity. Perhaps this is why Genesis is so important for understanding Revelation. The last book of the Bible rarely invents new ideas. Instead, it gathers together the great themes that have been unfolding since the beginning and brings them to their glorious conclusion. Reading Revelation without Genesis is like trying to understand the final chapter of a novel after skipping the opening chapters. You may recognise the excitement, but you will miss the significance. Every symbol carries a memory. Every promise reaches back to an earlier promise. Every victory answers an earlier defeat. Genesis teaches us how to read Revelation because it teaches us God's way of telling His story. The Bible begins with God walking with humanity in a garden. It ends with God dwelling with humanity in an earth remade. The movement is from a broken creation to a restored creation. The ending is greater than the beginning because God's purpose has not merely been recovered; it has been completed. This is why Genesis is more than the first book of the Bible. It is the doorway into the whole story. And Revelation is more than the last book. It is the moment when every thread woven into the opening pages is finally gathered together into one magnificent tapestry. To understand Revelation, we must first listen carefully to Genesis. Only then do we discover that the end has been whispering to us since the very beginning. Gospel Angels Broadcasting

The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. What does God look like? This question has occupied the minds of believers for generations. The Scriptures provide a profound answer: if we desire to know the invisible God, we must behold the Body of the Word. The Apostle John encountered this reality while exiled on the island of Patmos. In Revelation 1:1–3, 12–17, he turned to see the voice that was speaking with him and beheld Jesus Christ in glorious majesty. He described His hair, His eyes, His face, His voice, His hands, His feet, and His robe. Centuries earlier, Ezekiel had witnessed the same glorious Person seated upon the throne, describing Him as having "the appearance of a man" (Ezekiel 1:26–28). These two prophetic witnesses establish an important truth: The Word of God is a living Person who possesses the appearance of a man and a complete body. The Body of the Word is not merely symbolic. According to Hebrews 1:3, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being." Likewise, Colossians 2:9 declares, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form." When we behold the Body of the Word, we are beholding the visible image of the invisible Father. Paul reinforces this truth in 2 Corinthians 4:6: "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ." The face of Christ represents the whole Body of the Word, revealing the very nature and glory of the invisible God. This means that every detailed description of Christ's Body is more than a physical observation—it is a revelation of who God is. Consider John's description of Christ's eyes: "His eyes were like blazing fire." (Revelation 1:14) At first glance, this appears to describe only His eyes. Yet Ezekiel saw the same glorious Person and described His entire form as radiant with fire (Ezekiel 1:27). The description therefore extends beyond one member to characterize the whole Person. Scripture also declares: "Our God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:29) The blazing fire of the Body of the Word therefore unveils something about the invisible Father Himself. Every detail of the Body speaks. Every member reveals. Every description carries revelation. These descriptions are themselves Scriptures because they testify concerning Christ. Jesus declared: "You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about Me." (John 5:39) The descriptions of the Body of the Word are therefore testimonies waiting to be unfolded. Psalm 119 teaches us: "The unfolding of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple." (Psalm 119:130) As these descriptions are unfolded, they produce the revelation knowledge of the Father. They illuminate His character, His nature, and His purposes. Take again the image of blazing fire. Fire communicates more than brilliance; it speaks of intensity, passion, longing, and holy desire. Isaiah describes the Lord by saying: "See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar... His lips are full of wrath, and His tongue is a consuming fire." (Isaiah 30:27) The Body of the Word, described as blazing fire, therefore reveals the Father's deep and unwavering hunger. This explains why Jesus repeatedly identified Himself as the Bread from heaven. The Bread of the Presence that continually stood before God in the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:30) ultimately pointed to the Body of the Word. Jesus declared: "I am the Bread of Life." (John 6:35) Again He said, "I am the living bread that came down from heaven." (John 6:51) The Body of the Word is therefore God's eternal Bread—the food continually before the Father. The imagery develops even further. The Body of the Word is not only God's Bread but also His dining table. Song of Solomon prophetically portrays this abundance: "Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies." (Song of Solomon 7:2) God's delight continually rests upon the Body of His Word. Isaiah then introduces another remarkable picture: "He put on righteousness as His breastplate... and wrapped Himself in zeal as in a cloak." (Isaiah 59:17) Zeal is presented as one of God's garments. Throughout Scripture, God's garments reveal aspects of His own Person. John writes: "On His robe and on His thigh He has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." (Revelation 19:16) Even His garments proclaim His identity. If zeal is one of God's garments, then zeal reveals another dimension of the Body of the Word. What is zeal? Zeal is the visible expression of God's invisible emotions. It is the outward manifestation of His inward passions. God possesses holy longings. He experiences righteous delight. He burns with purpose. He rejoices in righteousness. He is moved by compassion. These are not abstract ideas; they are realities expressed through the Body of the Word. The Body of the Word therefore becomes God's divine encyclopedia of emotions. His emotions are stored within it. They are revealed through it. They are expressed by it. Every member of the Body becomes a container carrying another dimension of the Father's heart. His eyes like blazing fire reveal divine passion (Revelation 1:14). His face shining like the sun reveals divine glory (Revelation 1:16). His voice like rushing waters reveals divine authority and life (Revelation 1:15). His feet like glowing bronze (Revelation 1:15), His robe (Revelation 1:13), His mouth with the sharp two-edged sword (Revelation 1:16), and every other member unveil another aspect of the Father's nature. These emotions have not always been fully understood. Jesus declared: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world." (Matthew 13:35) Among those hidden treasures are the depths of the Father's own heart. Through the revelation of the Body of the Word, these hidden realities are being brought into the light. The Holy Spirit Himself leads us into this understanding. Jesus promised: "When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth... He will receive from Me what He will make known to you." (John 16:13–15) As we meditate upon the different descriptions of the Body of the Word, the Spirit unfolds them and reveals the emotions, purposes, wisdom, and character of the Father. Our fellowship with God therefore extends beyond learning His commandments. It is an invitation to know His heart. To understand the Father's emotions is to know Him more deeply. To unfold the Body of the Word is to discover the hidden treasures of His love, His passion, His justice, His delight, and His eternal purpose. The more we behold the Body of the Word, the more clearly the invisible Father is revealed to us. May our hearts continually hunger for this revelation until every description of the Body of the Word becomes another window into the infinite glory of God.

The Kitchen Newsletter Good day, Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God. Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word. What if the Scriptures are not merely giving us information about God, but are inviting us to study the very anatomy through which the invisible Father reveals Himself? This is the central conviction behind The Body of the Word. When John encountered Jesus on the island of Patmos, he did not merely hear a voice—he saw a Person. "I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me... and among the lampstands was someone like a Son of Man..." (Revelation 1:12–17) The Word of God is not an abstract philosophy, a collection of doctrines, or a religious concept. The Word is a living Person. He has the appearance of a man and possesses a complete body. Ezekiel witnessed the same reality centuries earlier (Ezekiel 1:26–28), describing One seated upon the throne whose appearance was "like that of a man." These visions agree on one profound truth: the invisible God has chosen to reveal Himself through the visible Body of the Word. Hebrews declares that Christ is "the exact representation of His being" (Hebrews 1:3). Paul likewise teaches that the knowledge of the glory of God shines "in the face of Jesus Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6). This means every detailed description of the Body of the Word is simultaneously a revelation of the invisible Father. His eyes. His face. His voice. His hands. His robe. His feet. None of these descriptions exist merely for symbolism. They are divine disclosures, inviting us into a deeper knowledge of God's nature. The Scriptures testify about Christ (John 5:39), and every detail concerning His Body is itself Scripture waiting to be unfolded. "The unfolding of Your words gives light..." (Psalm 119:130). Revelation knowledge is produced whenever these descriptions are opened. Take, for example, John's statement that the eyes of Christ are "like blazing fire" (Revelation 1:14). Ezekiel expands this vision by describing His entire figure as radiant with fire (Ezekiel 1:27). This reveals that blazing fire is not merely describing His eyes—it is describing His Person. Fire speaks of intense desire, consuming purpose, relentless passion, and divine hunger. The Body of the Word therefore reveals the Father's aggressive longing for His eternal satisfaction. This divine hunger explains why Christ repeatedly identified Himself as Bread. "I am the Bread of Life." "I am the Living Bread that came down from heaven." The Bread placed continually before God in the Tabernacle ultimately points to Christ Himself. The Body of the Word is God's eternal Bread—the food continually before the Father. Even the poetic language of Song of Solomon hints that the Body of the Word is God's own banquet table, where His eternal pleasure rests (Song of Solomon 7:2). The revelation deepens further. Isaiah tells us that God wraps Himself with zeal as a cloak (Isaiah 59:17). This is remarkable. God's garments are not arbitrary decorations. Throughout Scripture they reveal dimensions of His own Person. Even in Revelation 19:16, the inscription "King of kings and Lord of lords" appears upon Christ's robe and thigh, showing that His garments proclaim who He is. If zeal is one of God's garments, then zeal reveals something about the Body of the Word. What, then, is zeal? Zeal is the visible expression of God's invisible emotions. It is God's passion made visible. His longing. His desire. His pleasure. His holy determination. His grief. His delight. His righteous intensity. Every movement of divine zeal is the outward expression of an inward affection. This leads us to an astonishing conclusion: The Body of the Word is the complete expression of the emotions of God. The Father is not emotionless. He possesses deep longings. He experiences holy pleasure. He grieves. He rejoices. He burns with purpose. He delights in righteousness. He is moved by compassion. He is stirred by justice. Where are these emotions revealed? In the Body of the Word. Every member of His Body contains another revelation of the Father's heart. Every detailed description becomes another chapter in God's emotional biography. The Body of the Word is therefore God's divine encyclopedia—cataloguing His affections, passions, desires, pleasures, longings, and holy purposes. Many believers desire to know God's will. Yet perhaps the greater question is this: Do we know God's heart? True fellowship with the Father is not simply learning His commands. It is learning His emotions. John writes: "Our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ." (1 John 1:3) Fellowship means progressively understanding what moves the Father, what delights Him, what grieves Him, what He passionately desires, and how every one of these realities has been documented within the Body of the Word. The more we unfold the Body of the Word, the more the invisible Father becomes visible to our understanding. The more we behold the Body of the Word, the more we discover not only who God is, but what God feels. This is why the revelation of the Body of the Word is not merely another theological study. It is an invitation into the deepest knowledge of the Father Himself. May our hearts continually hunger to explore these divine mysteries until the invisible God becomes increasingly known through the glorious Body of His Word. --- Omodolapo Ogunye Listen to The Kitchen Podcast by Omodolapo Ogunye on Audible, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, and Apple Podcasts.

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY WEDNESDAY JULY 22, 2026. "ENCOURAGEMENT--IT'S A POWERFUL THING" ‘If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging.’  Romans 12:8 NLT MANY A man and woman who quit would have kept going if they had just received a word of encouragement from someone. Encouragement is so vital that the Scriptures rank it up there with gifts like teaching and leadership (Romans 12:6-8). Here are two stories that illustrate the power of encouragement. Story one: Not long ago, the world watched as three grey whales, icebound off Point Barrow, Alaska, floated battered and bloody, gasping for breath at a hole in the ice. The whales’ only hope was to be somehow transported five miles past the ice pack to the open sea. Rescuers began cutting a string of breathing holes about twenty yards apart in the six-inch thick ice. For eight days they painstakingly coaxed the whales from one hole to the next, mile after mile. Along the way, one of the trio vanished and was presumed dead. But finally, with the help of Russian icebreakers, the other two whales, Putu and Siku, swam to freedom. Story two: Jackie Robinson was the first black player in the US to play major league baseball. While breaking baseball’s colour barrier, he faced jeering crowds in every stadium. Playing one day in his home stadium in Brooklyn, he made an error and his own fans began to boo him. As he stood, humiliated, at second base, ‘Pee Wee’ Reese came over and stood next to him. He put his arm around Robinson and they faced the crowd together. The fans grew quiet; the game continued. Robinson later said that arm around his shoulder saved his career! Encouragement—it’s a powerful thing. So who can you encourage today? Bible In A Year: Acts 27-28; Matt11;10-18; Ps42:1-5; Pro 16:16.

Prophet Joel saw in his vision hordes of God's enemies rushing headlong and mindlessly into the 'valley of God's decisive judgment.' A day of divine recompense is yet in the womb of time. Israel should be assured of God's unfailing day of their full restoration to the land promised to them by the Lord. Over many generations, their enemies had enslaved, deprived and vexed them with untempered bitterness. The Assyrians had ill-used them; the Egyptians had abused them; the Babylonians had traduced them; they had suffered untold hardship under the rule of the Medians and the Persians. The Greeks had not spared them too. The Romans had ruthlessly brutalised them and razed down Jerusalem finally in 70 AD.* *However, "weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." These pains and pangs of many centuries under alien nations will soon be over, and a new dawn of peace, prosperity, and divine presence will be in the offing for Israel.* *As it was for the enemies of Israel, so it shall be in the end for the enemies of the church of Christ. In contrast, the future is bright for those who have a cordial relationship with the Lord. People who trust Jesus Christ as their Saviour will never be called into God's judgment court, and they no longer need to fear the storm. Therefore, let the beloved of the Lord take heart and be patient in times of bitter trials, temptations and fierce persecutions. "Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh." Like the chorus of the Lotos-Eaters, these mounting waves of trials and temptation shall roll us eventually to the shore of rest!* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Every adversity confronting God's people bears an expiry date.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *EXODUS 20-22*📜📜 Dawning Day Of Restoration https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 5: NEVER GIVE UP; GHS 7: TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS; AND GHS 30: I'VE ANCHORED IN JESUS* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna22ndJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [21/07, 8:59 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```WEDNESDAY 22ND JULY, 2026``` *DISAPPOINTMENT FOR CHARMERS* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧜🏽‍♂️🧞❌👎🏽🗣️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:NUMBERS 23:19-23```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!"

She was introduced to a so-called "charmer" who promised wealth and fame; but despite following prescribed ritual processes, her life only became more chaotic. Her relationships suffered, and she felt emptier than ever before.* *One day, after a powerful encounter with God, she realised that true success and peace could never come through charms or quick fixes. She turned away from the illusions of the world and chose to trust in God's plan for her life. "Charms and spells may deceive the heart, but only truth sets the soul free," said Ralph Waldo Emerson.* *In Numbers 23:19-23, we learn that no matter how powerful the charmers or magicians might seem, God's plans cannot be thwarted. Balaam, despite being hired to curse Israel, could only bless them because God's will is unshakable. The Bible says in Numbers 23:23, "Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel".* *This is a reminder to us youths that no charm or superstition can have power over our lives when we are under God's protection. True power comes from trusting in God's plans, not in the fleeting allure of charms.* 💬 ```QUOTE:``` _*Truth sets the soul free.*_ 🏆 ```CHALLENGE:``` _*Choose God's power, not charms.*_ 🙏🏽🙏🏽 ```PRAYER:``` _*Lord, protect me from the deception of charms.*_ Disappointment For Charmers https://dailymanna.app// *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#HigherEveryday22ndJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [21/07, 8:59 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*(SINCERE MILK: Children Daily Devotional Guide 2⃣0⃣2⃣6️⃣)*_ 🙇🏼🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼🙇‍♀️🙇🏼‍♂️ ```WEDNESDAY 22ND JULY, 2026``` *THE LORD BLESSES* 📓📖🎚️🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽🙌🏽 📜📜```GENESIS 26:11-14```📜📜 🕔📚🖋️🚻😁🎼🏆🍉🪴🌈💻 🔑📖 ```Key Verse:``` _*"Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him" (Genesis 26:12).*_ 📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖📖 Isaac was a friend of God. The protection of God was on him. Abimelech warned his people who had been disturbing Isaac to stop their wicked activities towards him. This was God's favour on him. Isaac learned to love the Lord from the time he was a young child. He was that boy who willingly gave himself to his father to be offered as a sacrificie to God. God was happy with him and provided a ram from heaven to his father for the burnt offering. The blessing of Abraham passed on to him not just because he was Abraham's son, but because he, personally, loved and obeyed the Lord. God always blesses those children who love and obey Him. Isaac was not slothful or lazy either. Though he inherited covenant blessings from his father, yet, he worked very hard. Our Bible passage confirms that God blessed Isaac more and more. It is not enough to know and quote the promises of God for Him to bless you. If you know all the promises of God in your heart and fold your arms and do not work, the blessings of God's provision may not come. Isaac had all-round blessings. *The same God who promises to make you the head and not the tail, is the same who has warned us not to be slothful in business; but rather, consider the ants who work hard at the right time. As you turn away from that lazy and procrastinating attitude, God will bless all you do.* 🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥🍥 ```🅿️rayer:``` _*Lord, help me to love and obey You, and work hard so that You will bless me.*_ 🙏🏽 ```📖 Further Reading:``` *Psalm 1:1-3* The Lord Blesses https://dailymanna.app// *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#SincereMilk22ndJuly2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [21/07, 8:59 pm] Pastor Attah: *MEDITATIONS ON DAILY ⓂANNA* WEDNESDAY, 22ND JULY, 2026. *EVENTS THAT MUST COME TO PASS* *TEXT:* JOEL 3:14-21. 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. 16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. 18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. 19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion. *Timeless Truth:* _"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision"_ (Joel 3:14). *INTRODUCTION* The information of the last days events that must come to pass are scattered in different Books of the Old and the New Testament. None of the prophets gave comprehensive information on any of the subjects except those given by Jesus Christ and John the Beloved on the Island of Patmos. However, combining the revelation of those prophets will give a more comprehensive information of the things that must shortly come to pass. The closing verses of Joel present a prophetic picture of the events that will culminate in God's final judgment and the establishment of His righteous kingdom. These are not uncertain predictions, but divine decrees that must come to pass according to God's eternal purpose. The passage reminds believers that history is moving toward God's appointed climax, where every individual and nation will give an account before Him. Therefore, the wise prepare themselves spiritually, remain faithful and confidently await the fulfilment of God's promises. *1. The Determinate Valley of Decision* a. God created man as a free moral agent and therefore, he is expected to make his decisions and be fully responsible for his decisions. God only gives the needed information and persuades people to choose right and in the light of eternity. He told Israel as He still tells all today, *". I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: ".* Decision always determine destiny. Right and divinely informed decisions will lead to eternal life while carefree and selfish decisions will lead to eternal damnation. In the text, the prophet was made to see far into *"the day of the LORD"* and into the valley of decision. *"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision..."*. *The day of the LORD* describes the gathering of nations before God's judgment. Decisions are both ways. Man must make His decision before that day when God will make His decision as to what to do with the wicked. The "valley of decision" is where people seal their choices after their decisions and where God pronounces His irreversible verdict. *The day of the LORD* is certain and no sinner will escape His righteous judgment. b. God always gives opportunities for people to make their decision and He also will judge all base on their personal and individual decisions made. While God's grace is available today, the opportunity to repent will not remain forever. Every person must respond to Christ before the day of divine judgment arrives. It was not only Joel that had the vision of impending judgment of nations and individuals. Virtually, most the prophets saw it and it is irreversible. It will happen. *Question* Are you living each day with the consciousness that you will one day stand before God's judgment seat? *2. The Deadly Visions of Destruction* a. Joel portrays terrifying cosmic disturbances: *". The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. "*. This has to do with the event at the Great Tribulation period preceding the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus confirmed it in Matthew 24:21,27-30. These signs reveal the majesty and holiness of God as He judges evil. The wrath of God during the Great Tribulation will be so fearful that *"the heavens and the earth shall shake"*. b. The prophet concentrates on the fate of Israel as a nation during this period. *"The LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel"*. Israel will be protected from the wicked onslaught of the Antichrist. Though the wicked will do wickedly, God's people will find refuge in Him. God's people will always be given shelter, protection and refuge from His wrath and the wickedness of the wicked.The same Lord who shakes heaven and earth is the secure shelter of those who trust Him. His judgment is dreadful for sinners, but comforting for the righteous. God is always our refuge in trouble. *Question* Is the Lord your refuge or are you relying on temporary earthly securities? *3.The Divine Visitations According to Decisions* a. The decisions people make will determine God's response to them. Every decision you make at any instance either draws you closer to God or farther away from God. Be always mindful of your decisions. Egypt and Edom will become desolate during the Millennial reign of Christ *"because they have shed innocent blood in their land"*. It is the opposite of the holy Jerusalem because they will be cleansed of their sins. In the time of the Millennial reign of Christ, there will be abundant prosperity, the visible presence of God and unlimited blessings for the godly. *"The mountains shall drop down......and the hills shall flow with milk"*. God's visitations are consistent with His justice: He rewards faithfulness and judges rebellion. Eternal blessing belongs to those who belong to Him. b. The wicked may appear to prosper and enjoy this world, but their end is regret, sorrow and judgment of God. The righteous may appear to lack and righteousness may not be fashionable in the land, but the righteous will always have the last laugh if they can endure faithfully to the end. *Question* Are your daily decisions leading you toward God's eternal blessings or toward His judgment? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord, help me to live every day in readiness for the coming Day of the Lord and to remain faithful until the end 🙏. 2.Father, be my refuge and strength in every trial and preserve me from the judgments coming upon the world 🙏. 3.Lord, let my decisions always align with Your perfect will so that I will enjoy Your favour and everlasting blessings 🙏. 4.Father, establish Your righteousness in our lives, keep us steadfast in Christ, make and keep us ready for Your glorious kingdom 🙏. *HYMN:* Have you counted the cost *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* EXODUS 20-22.

You know what this day holds for us and what strength we will need; may You provide what we need as each moment comes. We ask for these mercies and favors in Your blessed name, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/17/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.
