USTIFY J in religion means "To declare innocent; guiltless; absolve or acquit". Glorified in the same vein means "To give glory; honour; or high praise to; exalt". Justified to be glorified would therefore mean "The declaration of innocency upon a life for the purpose of glorification; the proclamation of not guilty upon an individual for

them to be exalted; or the acquittal of someone from charges levied against them in order to bring them into a position of honour".The Bible says that sin is a reproach to any people; however righteousness does exalt nations (Prov. 14:34). To be truly exalted or glorified in life therefore, one needs to have been justified before. Sad to say that some Christians remain in a state of dishonour by their own making, by living in ignorance, even though they have been justified to be glorified (Prov. 29:18).God however wants His children to live a life of honour and glory as this in turn will bring glory and honour to Him in the eyes of men (Philippians 2:15-26; 3 John 2). That is why in Rom. 8:28-30, we have a supposed sequence of the life trail of a believer, which ours should indeed follow:That whatever happens, all things must work together for good eventually to those who love God and are called according to His purpose. This is because God already foreknew both the person and their circumstances and had equally predestined how things should favour the believer. At a later stage in such person's life, they are called by God to go through certain experiences, if they are faithful and became justified in their calling, then their glorification must definitely follow. Abraham for example was foreknown by God. The land of Canaan was polluted with much idolatry, God saw the heart of Abraham and so handpicked him from idolatry somewhere else to raise a special generation replacing those already in Canaan. Having conformed to the image of Christ through obedience and humility when he was called, Abraham received justification and therefore was glorified. In this month of March and beyond, God wants us to take our calling and justification very seriously, in doing so; our glorification will be definite and huge.

ANY M times God makes promises years before He intends for them to happen. For example, Jesus coming was promised by God as far back as the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:15) and subsequently by the Prophets (Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7; Micah 5:2; etc.). The annunciation proper was later made to Mary by

Angel Gabriel when God was ready to fulfil His plan (Lk. 1:26-38).As we were rounding up 2015, God began to tell me what He will do for us in 2016. Some of the things He said:

FOR INDIVIDUALS1 Some families will trace the beginning of their generational blessings to this year.2. Some will receive help from unexpected sources.3. Grateful hearts will have more causes to be grateful4. For many, the pendulum of life will generally be on the upward swing5. A chosen few will receive blessings so large they can hardly contain them

FOR NIGERIA1. Things are likely to get tougher, before they get better, but things will definitely get better before the year ends.2. What He started last year, He will finish this year, provided we don’t rejoice too soon.

INTERNATIONAL1. Natural disasters, floods, fires, earthquakes, are likely to get progressively worse, until governments realize that these are part of divine judgement against those who have passed unholy laws. If governments will repent of disdaining Christ and His church, He will help them win the fight against terrorism.2. A major war will be averted this year3. A new sexually transmitted diseases will surface.

NIVERSAL U time is measured in seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute, and there are 60 minutes in an hour. Invariably, when we talk about the hour of a thing, what we are saying in essence

is that the time or season for that thing to happen has come.On this wise, we are talking about glory. Glory is something that has to do with God. Though God can rub off His glory on an individual, yet it is one of the things that God will not share with anyone. Even, if that glory rubs on an individual, it has to be returned to God again, otherwise it will either be taken away, or the person himself taken away altogether.Glory can be defined as being magnified, given honour or be shown as worthy.Joshua. God magnified Joshua when they crossed the Jordan River.Elisha. God magnified Elisha when he crossed the Jordan River back as well.For every child of God, there is a hour of glory, both here on earth and as one goes into afterlife. The believer must be sensitive and discerning to know this hour while living as it may not be repeated if missed.- King Saul terminated his hour of glory because of his insensitivity (the people beclouded him).Jesus as a Son of Man was filled with great wisdom. He knew exactly when His hour of glory was.In John 2:1-11, at the wedding of Cana in Galilee, His earthly mother was going to announce His glory, but no. Jesus made her to understand that the hour hasn't come.John 2:3-4 - And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.So He did it secretlyJohn 2:9 - When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was:(but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,How I knew it's all about His hour of glory.John 2:11 - This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.In John 7: 1-11, the bible tells us more about Jesus and the hour of His glory. His brothers were pressuring Him to go to Jerusalem and the Judea region so that His worth or glory might be known. But Jesus continue to dwell in quietness in Galilee.You will not experience glory before its hour in Jesus name.Joseph suffered 13 years for it. You will not suffer for what should be with ease.When the Feast of Tabernacle came (camp) x2 (harvest & exodus), Jesus' clan men saw it as a good time to get Jesus to go and proof Himself in the open, so they told Him to go to Jerusalem as the whole nation will be present, yet Jesus said His hour for that had not come. So He went to the Feast secretly without an entourage.John 7:1-11 - After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. Now the Jews 'feast of tabernacles was at hand. His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he

himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. For neither did his brethren believe in him. Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come:but your time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Go ye up unto this feast:I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, about the mid of the Feast, He entered the Temple and began to teach. It wasn't long before the Jews figured out that He was the one. So they planned to kill Him, but they couldn't because again, His hour of that glory had not come.John 7:28-30 - Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am:and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him:for I am from him, and he hath sent me. Then they sought to take him:but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.- If anyone is planning your departure from planet earth. I decree that the hour has not come.However in Mathew 26: 17-18, as the first day of the Unleavened Bread began, Jesus told His disciples to make preparation for a special get together dinner as the hour for His glorification was near.Matthew 26:17-18 - Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.It as about this time, in John 17:1-5, Jesus began to speak to His Father that His hour of glory has finally come; that His Father should glorify Him, so that His life in turn will glorify God.John 17:1-5 - These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth:I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
