Over the years of being a Christian, I have watched my desires change in a way that I cannot compute a formula for. The seven years that I have spent in Christ seems to cause some buildings and destructions within me. Definitely, it is a process; a journey.
Several people have asked me why I use the image of a lion as my profile picture on social media. Well, to begin my defense, I am not hiding my face though, I am not a friend of the camera. The image of a lion signifies my present desire.
It's a longing for a dimension of God in the earth. Contrary to some winds organizing parties in town these days, our God is full in His own way. He is described as the all-breasted one. That is, in Him, all can find his/her drink and be satisfied of Him.
There are several dimensions to God and the dimension that I long for in the earth presently is that of a lion. God is not a lion, but He created a lion so that we can understand that dimension of Him. Severally, the bible calls Him a Lion.
Jesus came over 2,000 years ago as a baby in the manger, but the next time we will see Him, He will be coming as a king. Nothing short of what we understand of a lion. I hope you won't be surprised when Grace appears as Fire.
The opportunity to tap into the powers of the age to come is what has filled my heart these days and has formed the shape of what my desires look like. I am no longer interested in just confessing that I am the righteousness of God when the righteousness cannot be found in front of my house.
I want to see the Lion move in my streets and in this country just like Jesus walked on the streets of Israel in those days. I long to see the prevailing power of God on the earth even before rapture comes. I don't want to get to heaven and everything will be a surprise package.
God always reveal Himself on the streets in every dispensation. That revelation must occur in my days too.
