Another Measure (A Cry For Greater Glory) by Apostle Selman
Lift up your hands and voice and express your gratitude to God tonight. Give Him praise, tonight.
Declare: Blessed be the name of The Lord.
We must be mindful of the goodness of God, as a family of faith. It is our culture in Koinonia to be ever grateful, thoughtful and thankful!
Someone help me shout “Thank You Jesus!”
Lift up your hands and turn your praise into a prayer.
Give God praise and glory. We acknowledge The Doer of all great things in our midst. He is worthy of our worship.
Tonight’s message and my assignment are to stir within us a fresh hunger and a holy dissatisfaction. For as much as God has done great things in our lives, there is still room for more.
“The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.” Haggai 2:9 (KJV)
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;” 2 Corinthians 4:17 (KJV)
I sense strongly in my spirit the healing anointing. As we lift our voices and raise the song “Hosanna,” place your hand on any part of your body where you are trusting God for healing. We are invoking the healing power of God tonight.
Allow the healing stream to flow through your body and your family. Believe that as you sing, wholeness will spring forth.
I decree and declare: anyone sick in the body, anyone afflicted by any spirit of infirmity, by the God of glory, the One with the outstretched arm, receive life and healing now! In the name of Jesus Christ, I speak recovery and restoration by the power of the Holy Spirit!
As The Lord arises over you as the Sun of Righteousness, let healing break forth. We declare creative miracles, let your organs be cleansed and renewed in the name of Jesus Christ!
This will be your song till the end of the year because of the wonders God will perform in your life. Receive new dimensions, new seasons, God is insisting on us through this song.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I decree and declare over anyone sick in their body, anyone burdened with weights, infirmities, or afflictions:
We invoke the glory of God present in this atmosphere, and we speak life and healing over you.
I decree and declare:
Healing, right now!
Recovery, right now!
Let every organ be cleansed and restored, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Tonight’s teaching is for those who refuse to be satisfied, no matter the heights they have already reached. It is for men and women who know deep within that there is always more.
This teaching is an encouragement and a propeller for every heart longing to rise to greater realms. (Revelation 4:1)
“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
Revelation 4:1 (KJV)
Whenever you read Scripture, do not be in a hurry. Take time to dwell in The Word, allowing its message to unfold and reveal the wisdom and truths God has embedded within it.
There are pains we wouldn’t wish to bear even for a single day, yet some carry prolonged suffering. But the Bible reminds us that even affliction works for our good. In Christ, every trial, every hardship can be used to your advantage.
The glory of God rest in men in measures and weights.
What is Glory?
Glory is a capture and an aggregate of all the attributes of God and all the qualities in God that make Him worthy of worship and praise.
Glory is defined as a capture and an aggregate of all the attributes and qualities of God, in God that make Him worthy of worship and deserving of praise.
The glory of God is not just a unilateral understanding of God. It is the entire capture of all the qualities and attributes that make God, God and distinguishes Him from all other beings.
To understand the glory of God, we must explore His various attributes: His wisdom, love, power, and more. Glory is not merely a single aspect of God; it is the full revelation and a capture of everything that makes Him supremely worthy of worship and deserving of praise.
When we speak of the “weightier greater glory” of God, we are referring to the fuller or weightier measure of His wisdom, power, goodness, mercy, and other attributes that God Himself invests in individuals.
God blesses men (individuals) in bits and measures.
A measure is placed upon a Believer, and through growth and faithfulness, we sustain the ability to attain more.
The vessels may be frail, yet they can hold such a rich deposit of spiritual investment that when you speak, nations will respond.
The degree to which you press in the Spirit for a heavier glory is the degree to which your command of greater glory will become manifest and evident to your world.
Human vessels are indeed frail, yet an individual can carry such a rich measure of God’s glory that when they speak, nations respond.
The degree to which you press in the Spirit for greater glory, is the degree to which your command of dominion will be evident to the world.
The Word of God, as the incorruptible seed of Christ, carries within it the power to birth glory when we exercise it. Glory comes in weight and measures. Though the vessel may be frail, a rich spiritual investment can rest upon it: this is the result of the weight of glory on the vessel.
The greater our pursuit and pressing in the Spirit, the more manifest our authority and evidence of glory become to the nations. This is the concept of ever-increasing glory.
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.” — 2 Peter 1:2 (KJV)
“But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”. – Proverbs 3:18 (KJV)
No matter how much we try, we cannot turn our heads a full 360 degrees. We were created to look forward, pressing into ever-increasing glory.
“Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase”. – Job 8:7 (KJV)
It takes more than desire to manifest dominion and victory.
Levels of knowledge every Believer must have:
– The knowledge of God (Daniel 11: 32b, John 17: 3, Psalm 103: 1-22) – the knowledge of God is captured through Scriptures.
– The knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom (Matthew 13: 11, Job 38: 33)
The true wealth of a Believer Is a rich deposit of The Word of God.
“Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?”
Job 38:33 (KJV)
You can immerse yourself with the various mysteries of the Kingdom in such a way that victory becomes your constant inheritance.
Help does not come merely because you need it, but it comes when you provoke it through your understanding and alignment with God’s ways..
Yesterday’s glory, no matter how great, cannot compare to the future glory that awaits a Neliever.
“Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end shall greatly increase.” — Job 8:7 (KJV)
Desiring greater anointing and glory is not enough. It takes more than desire to master glory, it requires intentional pursuit and understanding.
_
There are levels of knowledge a Believer must press into to exercise greater dominion:
1. The Knowledge of God – The fear of God, which is the highest form of knowledge.
This form of knowledge brings life, dominion, and ever-increasing glory (Daniel 11:32b; John 17:3, Psalms 103:1-22). Studying Scripture is the pathway to gaining spiritual knowledge.
2. The Knowledge of the Mysteries of the Kingdom – Understanding the laws of favour, honour, warfare, and other divine mysteries (Matthew 13:11; Job 38:33).
Surround yourself with these mysteries as a chariot of advantage. Remember, help does not come simply because you need it; it comes by provoking it.
Press into these levels of knowledge, and your latter end will manifest dominion, authority, and glory beyond measure.
The levels of knowledge a Believer must press into to command dominion and victory:
1. The Knowledge of God – The fear of God, which is the highest form of knowledge. This form of knowledge brings life, dominion, and ever-increasing glory
(Proverbs 9:10, Daniel 11:32b; John 17:3, Psalms 103:1-22). Studying Scripture is the pathway to gaining spiritual knowledge.
2. The Knowledge of the Mysteries of the Kingdom – Understanding the laws of favour, honour, warfare, and other divine mysteries
(Matthew 13:11; Job 38:33). Surround yourself with these mysteries as a chariot of advantage. Remember, help does not come simply because you need it; it comes by provoking it.
The weightier presence of God is our daily bread, and it has the power to transform every area of your life.
Sadly, many Believers have limited the riches of the God-life to preaching and preachers, but that was never God’s design. The riches of God’s glory are available to every Believer who earnestly desires it and presses in to receive it.
I pray, in the name of Jesus, that your life will become a living Bible study, a manual for men and women. Let your life be so radiant in God’s glory that others study it, discuss it, and come to know God more intimately through you.
Keys Responsible for Accessing a Greater Level of Glory:
No one walking in extraordinary dimensions of wisdom, victory, and kingdom dominion has done so without embracing these foundational keys:
1. Greater Yieldedness and Surrender – The more yielded, broken, consecrated, and devoted you are, the greater the measure of God’s glory you will carry.
– The presence of God is like an incubation room; business ideas, songs, and breakthroughs emerge from His presence as the anointing flows from Him.
– What sets men apart from men, and voices apart from voices, is the measure of God’s glory deposited on them.
The deeper your level of yieldedness, consecration, and surrender, the greater the measure of God’s glory and grace you will carry.
When you see two people with different access to the glory of God, it is not because Jesus loves one more than the other, but because one has chosen to take Jesus and His presence seriously.
Never entertain the notion that dwelling in God’s presence diminishes your value or relevance. Life is not meant to be unnecessarily hard, yet we often miss the formula for success. The secret lies in His presence. Reaching into God’s presence is like discovering a goldmine. It is in His presence that greater glory, favor, and measure rest upon us.
The presence of God is an incubation room. It is a place where destinies are birthed. Songs, sermons, and business ideas that succeed at a macro level, boldness, and faith all originate from God’s presence.
What sets men apart is the measure and weight of God’s glory invested in them.
Don’t ever carry the narrative that pressing into God wastes your value or diminishes your values.
Life wasn’t supposed to be as hard as it is. The reason why it appears so is because our approach is bad. The secret to a life of ease is found only in the presence of God. The presence of God is an incubation room. It is where miracles and ideas are birthed, the anointing, faith, and boldness are all derived from His presence.
Everything we ever seek is found in His presence.
A man who speaks boldly publicly has seen and done business with the King in the secret place. His life becomes an effulgence of His encounter with The God he has met in the secret place. There are tokens: wisdom, favor, and power that can only be obtained from abiding in God’s presence.
Most of the things people desperately seek can only be found in His presence.
The weightier glory of God is His reward system for those who invest time in His presence. He does this so that the nations of the earth may recognize and acknowledge Him as God.
Most of what we seek in life can only be found in His presence. His presence has the power to transform a man instantly, for there are things only He can accomplish in and through His presence.
The anointing is a Spiritual commodity that cannot be hidden.
I pray for you: Everything that has distracted you from God’s presence, may the grace to return to the secret place, the grace to return to the place of power, be released in your life, in the name of Jesus Christ. I decree: receive fresh grace to love God, fresh grace to spend time in the Word, and fresh grace to remain in His presence.
May you love Him more than your daily bread, and as He has done for many of us, may dwelling in the secret place reveal to you the secrets of the next ten years, in the name of Jesus Christ!
There is always room and space for the one who is anointed.
Declare: Whatever has made it seem like the secret place is not yielding, I pray that you receive fresh grace. May you love Him more than your daily bread, and may your time in His presence bring forth breakthrough and fruitfulness.
“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” – Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)
The anointing you carry is something that cannot be hidden. When it rests upon you, it speaks for itself. A person anointed by God cannot be irrelevant. No matter who he or she is, there is always room and favor for the one who carries the anointing.
There is destiny-defining value in God’s presence. You can never go down by seeking God’s face and loving Him.
Pray: Father, grant me access to the secret place. Open the doors to the gifts of heaven in my life, in the name of Jesus Christ!
“Take away the dross from the silver, and there comes out [the pure metal for] a vessel for the silversmith [to shape]” – Proverbs 25:4(AMP)
Pray: Father, grant me deeper access to Your Presence. Give me tokens in the secret place! Grant me access to your presence at a deeper level.
Keys Responsible For Accessing Greater Levels of Glory
1. Greater Yieldedness and Surrender (Proverbs 25:4): The more yielded you are, and the deeper your level of surrender is, the greater the measure of God’s weightier glory you will carry.
2. Greater Light (Genesis 1:16; 1 Corinthians 8:2; Isaiah 60:1; Matthew 4:16; Ephesians 3:8-9): Pressing for higher levels of spiritual illumination is essential. Light reveals, makes manifest, and opens doors to divine understanding.
3. Humility (Proverbs 29:23; 1 Peter 5:6; James 4:6): Humility is a deliberate act that is sponsored by a superior revelation. It is distinct from mere simplicity; it is a spiritual strength that positions you for greater glory.
“Through desire a man, having separated himself, seeketh and intermeddleth with all wisdom.” Proverbs 18:1 (KJV)
Obtain grace from God for the grace to pursue knowledge. Do not be in a hurry to learn everything at once; embrace your training process, study methodically, and persevere until you attain true mastery.
Indeed, there are false lights and true lights, and Scripture makes this distinction clear. You must beware, so you do not acquire knowledge that is useless, knowledge that cannot produce dominion or victory in your life.
Pray: Father, I receive light that delivers me from a life of struggle and slumber, light that bails and rescues me from a life of pain and setbacks, in the name of Jesus Christ!
“A man’s pride shall bring him low: But honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.”
Proverbs 29:23 (KJV)
“Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.”
Proverbs 29:23 (NLT)
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”
1 Peter 5:6 (KJV)
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” — James 4:6, 10 (KJV)
Humility is the conscious acknowledgment that God, not self, is the principal factor for your rising. It stands in direct opposition to pride, self-exaltation, and boasting.
Humility is the conscious acknowledgement of God as the principal factor in your life for your rising and lifting, as against self.
There is a clear difference between humility and simplicity. You can be simple and still proud; you can be poor and still proud.
– Pride is as dangerous as ignorance, and when both reside in a person, they can limit your life (James 4:6, 10).
– Humility is the conscious acknowledgment of God as the principal factor in your life responsible for your rising, standing in opposition to self-exaltation.
It takes an extra effort to remain humble, especially when you have results.
I pray for you in the name of Jesus, the grace to be genuinely humble in the midst of plenty and lifting, I release that grace upon you now!
You will be captain over many and it will not steal your heart and love for God.
There are consequences to being humble. Often, you will be underestimated. But do not be discouraged, God’s announcement of your worth is far louder. Remaining humble requires intentional effort, especially when success and results are evident in your life.
5. “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”
6. “who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:”
7. “but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:”
8. “and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
9. “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:”
10. “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;”
11. “and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:5-11 (KJV)
Never fight a humble person, this is equivalent to fighting God. It may look like as though, you are winning until God avenges on their behalf.
• Humility is having the unashamedness that your life is not your own, unassisted by God, and continually acknowledging Him as your source.
“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day”. – Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV)
I declare: Pleasant testimonies and strange breakthroughs are yours! People you have never known will rise this season to fulfill God’s purposes in your life. By this song, God will visit families and nations. Anyone who has vowed that you will not rise, may God judge them!
Shout Amen seven times!
Keys Responsible For Accessing Greater Levels of Glory
1. Greater Yieldedness and Surrender (Proverbs 25:4): The more yielded you are, and the deeper your level of surrender is, the greater the measure of God’s weightier glory you will carry.
2. Greater Light (Genesis 1:16; 1 Corinthians 8:2; Isaiah 60:1; Matthew 4:16; Ephesians 3:8-9): Pressing for higher levels of spiritual illumination is essential. Light reveals, makes manifest, and opens doors to divine understanding.
3. Humility (Proverbs 29:23; 1 Peter 5:6; James 4:6): Humility is a deliberate act that is sponsored by a superior revelation. It is distinct from mere simplicity; it is a spiritual strength that positions you for greater glory.
4. Greater Kingdom Service: The more you are doggedly invested in the service of the King, the more of God’s glory will be invested in your life. God will not release greater glory into someone who is unwilling to engage wholeheartedly in Kingdom service.
5. Unending Gratitude (Jeremiah 30:19): A lack of gratitude reflects a lack of discernment to appreciate God. Thanksgiving and gratitude always bring increase; they never diminish what you have.
6. Praise (Psalm 67:5-7): Praise is more than expressing gratitude; it is the deliberate act of extolling the name of the Lord, creating an avenue for God’s glory to manifest.
The easiest way to commit God’s interest to your adventure is to tie it to the kingdom. The glory of God will flow to where His kingdom is.
• Nobody goes out of relevance fully invested in Kingdom.
The more you are doggedly invested in the service of the King’s business, the more you will see His glory captured in your life.
• Mundane means that your pursuit does not capture anything that is of eternal value.
• Your business is to see Jesus revealed, and as you earnestly seek it, you will see His glory revealed in your life.
The one who secures the glory of God is the one who has given his or herself to the service of the Kingdom. The easiest way to commit the hand of God in a person’s life is to commit “Kingdom come” to such a person’s desire.
Once your life and your heart is invested towards Kingdom service, then you’re ready to manifest greater glory.
I pray for you: May your life be all about serving the purposes of the Kingdom in the name of Jesus Christ! May the grace for the passion to serve the Lord be released upon you now in the name of Jesus Christ!
The one whose life is poured out as a sacrifice in kingdom service is the one who will keep seeing the glory of God multiplied.
• No one goes out of relevance fully invested in “Kingdom Come”. The easiest way to commit God is to be vested in the Kingdom come.
I pray for you: May your life be all about serving the purposes of God, in Jesus Name!
I declare: In the name of Jesus Christ, may your life, whether in formal or informal settings, be wholly devoted to serving God and advancing His Kingdom.
I pray that you receive the grace to serve The Lord with passion, dedication, and excellence.
Verbalising gratitude is not enough, gratitude must match the sacrifice that brought it. The deeper the sacrifice, the greater and more lavish the gratitude should be.
Gratitude must match the sacrifice that brought it. The deeper the level of sacrifice, benevolence, or help, the greater the communication and measure of our expression of gratitude must be.
The way to secure the help of God eternally, is to thank God earnestly for anything He has done.
• Thanksgiving always brings an increase, you never deplete if you practice thanksgiving.
• The law of gratitude is that gratitude must match the sacrifice.
Grateful people are always forward moving people. A grateful person is an ever progressive person. Always take out time to thank God for His numerous benefits. Be grateful to God always!
What you trivialize is someone else’s testimony, so learn to always be grateful at every point or phase in your life.
The deeper the act of sacrifice, the greater must be the lavish gratitude you give. Gratitude must match the level of sacrifice.
Prophecy: I assure you, by the authority of God, you will witness testimonies, breakthroughs, and victories in battles you do not even need to fight. The Lord of Hosts (Saboath) will rise as a mighty warrior and fight on your behalf.
Long-standing issues, obstacles that refuse to yield, by the power that raised Christ from the dead, I command those mountains to be removed now!
By the Spirit, I speak to you: pleasant surprises, unusual testimonies, and unprecedented breakthroughs are coming. Wounded lives will be restored through the Spirit of Grace.
This season, people you do not know will rise up to fulfill God’s purposes concerning your life, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Through this praise, God will ride upon the wings of worship and visit homes, families, and nations in mighty power.
Anyone who has vowed that you will weep and that God’s glory will not manifest in your life, under this atmosphere of praise, I decree that God will judge them in the name of Jesus Christ!
SHOUT AMEN SEVEN TIMES!
“Let the people praise thee, O God; Let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; And God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; And all the ends of the earth shall fear him.”
Psalm 67:5-7 (KJV)
“And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.”
Acts 16:25 (KJV)
Truly, God inhabits the praises of His people, God is drawn toward us when we praise Him with all our heart.
When the all-powerful God seems silent over your situation, stop crying and fix your eyes on the miracle He is about to birth through your life.
Even in the midst of storms, when it feels like God is quiet, remain still, keep your faith, and watch as He brings forth the miracle prepared for you.
Gratitude and Praise work together, but they are not the same (Psalm 67:5-7).
– God inhabits and is pulled into or drawn to the praises of His people.
– (Acts 16:25) The value of praise extends far beyond the one who offers it.
When God seems silent while humans vent arrogance, rest assured: He is at work and He’s up to something, orchestrating something far greater.
Pray: Father in the name of Jesus, adorn my life, destiny, and ministry with another measure of Glory.
Pray: Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we ask that You use the upcoming General Assembly to shift men and women into their divine destinies.
Lord, let mighty men and women arise from this Convention. Release Your abundant grace, let it be full of your signs and wonders, and move mightily in our midst.
