    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.

    TOPIC: THE GAINS OF GOD'S COVENANT I

    AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE

    MEMORISE: "Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do." Deuteronomy 29:9

    BIBLE READING: DEUTERONOMY 28:1-14
    1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
    2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
    3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.
    4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
    5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.
    6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
    7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
    8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
    9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
    10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
    11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
    12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
    13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
    14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

    MESSAGE:
    In Proverbs 31:1-9, one of the things King Lemuel's mother taught him was that there were certain things that kings should not do. She told him that kings should not give their strength to women, nor should they follow the ways that destroy kings, nor should they drink wine or strong drink. If a fellow does the things that kings shouldn't do, it is expected that such a person would either never become a king or would be dethroned if he or she is already a king.

    To fully enjoy the gains of any covenant with God, you must be ready to fulfil its terms and conditions by surrendering totally to Him and obeying all His instructions. Once you decide to serve God with all your life and do whatever He says, sooner or later, people will come to you and say, "Tell us your secret; how are you flourishing in every area of your life?!"

    Many people attribute the remarkable progress of RCCG to my academic background; however, they are unaware that we are reaping the benefits of the founder's covenant with God. God called the founder of the church, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, a man who never attended school, and told him that if he could meet certain conditions, He would establish a church through him that would spread around the world. God helped Pa Akindayomi, and before his death, he fulfilled all the conditions that God gave him. Today, the RCCG is present in over 195 nations worldwide.

    The church is where it is today because of God's covenant with my Father in the Lord. God cannot be mocked. Anyone who obeys the terms of His covenant will reap its gains. In today's memory verse, Moses told the Israelites that if they kept God's commandments, they would prosper in all that they did.

    Prosperity is a major gain that those who keep God's covenant will enjoy. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all enjoyed abundant prosperity as a result of God's covenant with Abraham. Father Abraham was described as a man who was blessed in all things (Genesis 24:1), Isaac was described as being very great (Genesis 26:13), and Jacob was described as a prosperous man (Genesis 30:43).

    Beloved, God has given His children all things to enjoy richly (1 Timothy 6:17). However, you must fulfil the terms and conditions of God's covenant with His children to truly enjoy prosperity in all areas of your life. May your life reflect the gains of God's covenant abundantly, in Jesus' name.

    KEY POINT:
    Anyone who obeys the terms of God's covenant wil reap its gains.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 40-43

    HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
    1 When we walk with the Lord
    in the light of His word,
    what a glory He sheds on our way!
    While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
    and with all who will trust and obey.

    Refrain:
    Trust and obey, for there's no other way
    to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

    2 Not a shadow can rise,
    Not a cloud in the skies,
    But His smiles quickly drives it away;
    Not a doubt nor a fear,
    Not a sigh nor a tear,
    Can abide while we trust and obey.

    3 Not a burden we bear,
    Not a sorrow we share,
    But our toil He doth richly Repay;
    Not a grief or a loss,
    Not a frown or a cross,
    But is blest if we trust and Obey.

    4 But we never can prove
    The delights of His love
    Until all on the altar we lay;
    For the favour He shows,
    For the joy He bestows,
    Are for them,
    Who will trust and obey.

    5 Then in fellowship sweet
    We will sit at His feet,
    Or we'll walk by His side
    In the way;
    What He says we will do,
    Where He sends we will go;
    Never fear, only trust and obey..

    7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
    8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
    9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
    10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
    11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
    12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
    13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:
    14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

    MESSAGE:
    In Proverbs 31:1-9, one of the things King Lemuel's mother taught him was that there were certain things that kings should not do. She told him that kings should not give their strength to women, nor should they follow the ways that destroy kings, nor should they drink wine or strong drink. If a fellow does the things that kings shouldn't do, it is expected that such a person would either never become a king or would be dethroned if he or she is already a king.

    To fully enjoy the gains of any covenant with God, you must be ready to fulfil its terms and conditions by surrendering totally to Him and obeying all His instructions. Once you decide to serve God with all your life and do whatever He says, sooner or later, people will come to you and say, "Tell us your secret; how are you flourishing in every area of your life?!"

    Many people attribute the remarkable progress of RCCG to my academic background; however, they are unaware that we are reaping the benefits of the founder's covenant with God. God called the founder of the church, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, a man who never attended school, and told him that if he could meet certain conditions, He would establish a church through him that would spread around the world. God helped Pa Akindayomi, and before his death, he fulfilled all the conditions that God gave him. Today, the RCCG is present in over 195 nations worldwide.

    The church is where it is today because of God's covenant with my Father in the Lord. God cannot be mocked. Anyone who obeys the terms of His covenant will reap its gains. In today's memory verse, Moses told the Israelites that if they kept God's commandments, they would prosper in all that they did.

    Prosperity is a major gain that those who keep God's covenant will enjoy. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all enjoyed abundant prosperity as a result of God's covenant with Abraham. Father Abraham was described as a man who was blessed in all things (Genesis 24:1), Isaac was described as being very great (Genesis 26:13), and Jacob was described as a prosperous man (Genesis 30:43).

    Beloved, God has given His children all things to enjoy richly (1 Timothy 6:17). However, you must fulfil the terms and conditions of God's covenant with His children to truly enjoy prosperity in all areas of your life. May your life reflect the gains of God's covenant abundantly, in Jesus' name.

    KEY POINT:
    Anyone who obeys the terms of God's covenant wil reap its gains.

    BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: JEREMIAH 40-43

    HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
    1 When we walk with the Lord
    in the light of His word,
    what a glory He sheds on our way!
    While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
    and with all who will trust and obey.

    Refrain:
    Trust and obey, for there's no other way
    to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

    2 Not a shadow can rise,
    Not a cloud in the skies,
    But His smiles quickly drives it away;
    Not a doubt nor a fear,
    Not a sigh nor a tear,
    Can abide while we trust and obey.

    3 Not a burden we bear,
    Not a sorrow we share,
    But our toil He doth richly Repay;
    Not a grief or a loss,
    Not a frown or a cross,
    But is blest if we trust and Obey.

    4 But we never can prove
    The delights of His love
    Until all on the altar we lay;
    For the favour He shows,
    For the joy He bestows,
    Are for them,
    Who will trust and obey.

    5 Then in fellowship sweet
    We will sit at His feet,
    Or we'll walk by His side
    In the way;
    What He says we will do,
    Where He sends we will go;
    Never fear, only trust and obey..

    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.

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.

Please share and spread the Revelation Knowledge of the Body of the Word. celebrating the Body of the Word #foodmoneyshow #bodyoftheword #marketplace #moneymindset #money #worldwide
