Robert Kayanja, the senior Pastor of Miracle Center Cathedral and CEO of Christian TV station Channel 44, reveals through his book titled ‘The Holy Spirit’ that the indescribable glory of the Lord that contains everything that we will ever need on this earth comes according to the glory that we give Him.
“It is from what we give Him that He creates something for us.” He says.
Since God is the one from whom glory comes, Pr Kayanja urges that Christians should not stand the assertion that glory comes from man or from the idols of man or from nature.

John 17 reveals that the glory is the Lord’s Prayer, not “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name…” That was the master teaching His disciples how to pray. But in John 17, He lifted up His eyes and prayed and said, “Father, the hour has come, Glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify you.”
Therefore, the glory of God is what contains everything that we will ever need on this earth. That is why the Bible says that He supplies all our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
If God is going to supply anything, He will supply it because He has it in His glory. If God is going to heal anybody, healing is in His glory. Prosperity, wisdom, favour, land, houses, wives and children are all in His glory.
So the reason why God hasn’t answered people’s needs on earth is because glory has not been given to Him. God supplies my needs according to the glory that I give Him. So when I give Him the glory, the[n] He supplies my needs according to His riches in glory.
So if I don’t give Him the glory, He has nothing to supply me with. It is what I give Him that He uses to supply my needs.
Jesus Christ revealed His glory at the wedding of Canaan of Galilee. Yes, it was His glory, but that glory was given to Him when Mary told the men, “Whatever He tells you, do it.” And when Jesus gave them instruction to fill the jars with water, they did.
When He told them to take to the master of the ceremony, He tasted the new and found it better than the one served first. Why? The men who gave Him the water gave Him the glory. And from that, He supplied them the wine.
Until I give God the glory, He has nothing from which to base what He should give me. So if I don’t give Him my faith, He has nothing to work with. If I don’t give Him my praise, He has no power to give me.
If I don’t surrender to Him, He has no saving grace with which to save me. It is a give and take relationship here then He uses what I have given Him. That is why the scripture says,
Luke 6:38: “Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
I give Him the glory, and out of the glory, He creates whatever I am looking for.
The glory that we see at the Miracle Centre Cathedral is from the 49 crusades that we just gave to God. He then took those crusades, compounded them together and sent them to us at the Miracle Centre as 77D.O.Gs. So now our lives are completely transforming every single day.
We are totally overwhelmed. We cannot now interrupt His move with our man-made usual programs. Right now we are driven by the wind of the Spirit.
All there is to do is listen and obey. For every need we once desired and required, resources and supply has come just at the right time, for the exact purpose and in the required measurements.
