Elements of Glory Manifested in the Church
Preached by Apostle Aje Pelser, Harvester Cape Town, 18th March 2012
Based on Prophet Nola Pelser’s Prophecy for the Church
Confirmation from Isaiah 60: Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
Arise Harvester Church!
Arise – take up your bed and walk.
Arise and Go with them – Peter and Cornelius
Arise – take up your bed and walk
Arise and pray like Jesus did, a good while before day
Arise and encourage yourself in the Lord and recover all like Davd
Arise from the grave
Arise from the death of sin into a new life
Arise out of the baptism of water and receive the Holy Spirit
Arise from depression and put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness
Shine People of God!
Shine – Let there be light
I am the Light of the World
You are the Light of the World
Don’t Hide your light under a bushel, let it shine, put it on a lamp stand
Let people see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven

When we suffer for Christ, the glory outweighs the suffering.
2Co 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
What does God say from His glory?
2Pe 1:17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: 'This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.'
Crown of Glory for Good Shepherds
1Pe 5:1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:
1Pe 5:2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly;
1Pe 5:3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;
1Pe 5:4 and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
Spirit of Glory rests on us!
1Pe 4:12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
1Pe 4:13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ's sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
1Pe 4:14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
So therefore: Arise, shine, for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
Because darkness covers the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise of over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.
You will see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, and wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
They come with gold and incense and proclaim the praises of the Lord.
Wise Men at Jesus’ birth… But God must open eyes to see visions, a result of the hOly Spirit baptism.
Flocks and rams gathered to us – We are a congregation of shepherds!
I will make my lovely house, lovely.
Flocks of Kedar, Rams of Nebaioth shall be gathered to you:
Nebaioth
n?-ba´yoth, n?-bi¯´oth (????,?????, nebhayoth; Septuagint Ναβαιω´θ, Nabai?th): Firstborn of Ishmael (Gen_25:13; Gen_28:9; Gen_36:3; 1Ch_1:29). Isa_60:7 mentions the tribe Nebaioth with Kedar, with an allusion to its pastoral nature: “the rams of Nebaioth” are to serve the ideal Zion as sacrificial victims. Again associated with Kedar, the name occurs frequently in Assyrian inscriptions. The tribe must have had a conspicuous place among the northern Arabs.
Even our own efforts that caused us harm in the past will be turned to blessings. Abraham tried to make things happen and Ishmael was born. Ishmael caused Isaac great harm and Hagar & Ishmael were cast out fo the camp. Later the symbolism of the Bondwoman versus Sarah the Bride became an analogy for the church of the new covenant versus the Old covenenat. Even today, Churches that utilize Old Covenant operating systems and preach condemnation, persecute those who are in the New Covenant, who preach the truth, fro instance baptism in the Holy Spirit. The very frist mission apostle Andre and Nola Pelser undertook, was to Zimbabwe. They started seeing people filled in the spirit during the meetings and it flowed on into the park outside! The main organization tried to prevent them from carrying on with the baptism in the spirit, but the Lord continued to work. That day they realized that they will work for God outside the parameters of man’s systems that prevent the working of the Holy Spirit.
Travellers and Ministers arrive and depart at the Aircraft Carrier!
V.8 – “who are these who fly like a cloud, and like doves to their roosts?” – Think of airplanes. Airports. The missions, the missionaries who come and go, the souls from nations coming in.
Yes, the islands are waiting for Me, and ships bring our sons to us from afar.
They bring silver and gold with them, to the name of the Lord your God, and to the Holy one of Israel because He has glorified you.
Walls and Gates of the City of Truth – the Church
The foreigners shall build your walls, and their kings shall minister to you for the Lord has had mercy on us.
Our gates will be open continually so that the wealth of the nations and their kings can come in triumph.
The nations that do not serve us shall perish and be utterly ruined.
V.13 – trees like in Lebanon: cypress, pine and box trees will come to us to beautify the place of His sanctuary. Solomon built the temple in the past, but Jesus now builds the church and overlays his people with faith, more valuable than gold tried in the fire.
The Lord will make the place of His feet glorious. The Church is a glorious place. Hebrews 12:22-24.
The sons that afflicted you shall come bowing to you, and all those who despised you shall fall prostrate at the soles of your feet and call us The City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel. We have seen this promise come to pass in our life time. We have seen this promise come to pass in our life time.
Eternal Excellence a joy of many generations
V.15 – “whereas you have been forsaken and hated, so that no one went through you, I will make you an eternal excellence, a joy of many generations.
V.16 – you shall drink the milk of the Gentiles, and milk the breast of kings; you shall know that I, the Lord, am your Saviour and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

I will make your officers peace, and your magistrates righteousness.
Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor destruction within your borders.
Your Walls shall be called Salvation, your Gates – Praise
Neh 12:27 Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites in all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem to celebrate the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings and singing, with cymbals and stringed instruments and harps.
When walls are built around the City, they act as salvation and people will praise God. The protection of the saints spiritually is a wall built up with truth, the city of truth. No gaps in the wall, no place for the hireling and wolves to enter in.
The Lord is our inner Light
We will no longer depend on the sun or the moon for light, the Lord will be our everlasting light and glory. (Your light has come!) You are the light of the world. John 9.
V.20. Your sun shall no longer go down, nor shall your moon withdraw itself; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended. God gives the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
Righteousness for all who believe
V.21 – Also your people shall ALL be righteous (New Covenant promise based on faith (Abraham); they shall inherit the land forever. They will be planted by the Lord, a work of His hands the He may be glorified.
Gen 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, 'Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.'
Gen 15:2 But Abram said, 'Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?'
Gen 15:3 Then Abram said, 'Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!'
Gen 15:4 And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, 'This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.'
Gen 15:5 Then He brought him outside and said, 'Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.' And He said to him, 'So shall your descendants be.' Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
Gen 18:17 And the LORD said, 'Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing,
Gen 18:18 since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Gen 18:19 For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.'
New Churches to be planted:
V.22 – the little one shall become a thousand (generation), and the small one a strong nation (congregation). I, the Lord, will HASTEN it in its time. Hallelujah!
