The Bishop’s Mind: Christian Wisdom, Daily Devotionals & Empowering Messages for Kingdom Living

  Man-I-Fest: The Manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of God Romans 8:19 (KJV) "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." – Romans 8:19    Manifestation refers to the God-given power and authority of humankind to bring things into visible existence through divine creation. The word manifest can be understood as man (humanity), individualized through one’s silence, thoughts, words, and actions), and fest (expressed outwardly and experienced through the senses).    The earth itself groans in expectation, awaiting the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God. This manifestation occurs as humanity exercises divine dominion to be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue, and have dominion. Manifestation declares that it is already done in the heavenly realm, making the invisible visible and the intangible tangible, moving from the spiritual and supernatural into the natural and phys...

The vision given to Zechariah reveals a divine mixture: a solid gold lampstand, a bowl at the top, seven lamps with channels for oil, and two olive trees standing faithfully on either side.

The spiritual theme for this season centers on the Holy Spirit empowering believers to live fully human and fully divine lives. The Spirit leads us into all truth, provides comfort, and sharpens our awareness of what deserves our attention.    Through the prophet Zechariah, God spoke to Zerubbabel, a leader tasked with rebuilding under pressure. The message was clear and timeless: “Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit.” The wind of God carries divine presence, sound, and flow.

  Everlasting Principle and the Light of Christ (John 12:44–50) "I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness… whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak." – John 12:46, 50 (KJV)    As this passage reveals, divine principles always point humanity toward abundant and eternal life. These principles guide thoughts, words, and actions into their highest expression. Isaiah prophesied that a name would be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father.    The term everlasting means having no beginning and no ending. Eternal refers to that which has a beginning but no ending. Temporary describes that which has both a beginning and an ending. When viewed through spiritual understanding, these distinctions shape how we interpret divine reality.    Metaphysically, the Everlasting Father represents everlasting principle . Divine nature, divine...

  My Part in the Everlasting (John 14:6–12) "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me… He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do." – John 14:6–12 (KJV)    We celebrate the amber light of the Everlasting Father. This divine name reveals the Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, and the Prince of Peace. Everlasting means having no beginning and no ending. It is not to be confused with eternal, which has a beginning but no ending, or temporary, which has both a beginning and an ending. When engaging with the Divine, one encounters the everlasting.    The Everlasting Father represents principle . Principle flows from the law of love, which endures forever. Mother represents process , and Mary experienced a nine-month process. The Child Jesus grew and matured, for a child emerges from both principle and...

  Create Something Else (Psalm 100:3) "Know that the Lord is God. It is He who made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture." – Psalm 100:3    We continue our exploration of the seven stages of creation by focusing on the final stage of progression. At this stage, individuals consciously co-create with God the life they desire and deserve. Whatever appears in life is shaped through silence, thoughts, words, actions, manifestations, evaluations, and ongoing progression.   Today, we are reminded to take responsibility for life and everything in it knowing that God created us and empowered us to create with Him.     The subject is: Create Something Else. It is time to create something else. Now that we understand we are co-creators with God, made in His image and likeness and that we are responsible for what shows up in our lives, the moment has arrived to create anew. The past season has ended. It is time...
