Word For The 12th Week Of 2018

Topic: Understanding The Last Days

Text: 1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

This is the 12th week of this year and 12 is a very significant figure in the spirit. It signifies perfect government. At this time, we must be conscious of the government of God in the earth as time ticks to a close.

Our God works with time which means that He has a particular thing He does at every point in time (Ecc 3:1). He is very strategic in His purpose for the earth as time passes. It is very important that we know what the time says according to God's plan so that we do not walk against the counsel of the Lord.

The Jews didn't know that the Christ they were expecting was already in their midst, so they began to walk against the counsel of God on the earth while Simeon and Anna had seen even when Jesus was 8 days old. Several people are walking against the counsel of God for their life because they don't know what the time says.

We live in a time described as the last days. It is very important that we know what this time calls for. It is not like any other time in the history of this earth. It is indeed, a different hour in the entire time of this earth. As much as it is very glorious to be alive at this time, it is also important that we know that this time calls for us to be serious and watchful.

The Holy Spirit admonishes us to be serious in this last days. The word 'serious' means to be sober. This doesn't mean that we should be looking sad, but it means that we should walk like an animal living in the north pole. Animals there walk very carefully so as not to fall into water covered by ice. They test every step before they rest the weight of their body on it.

I urge you to be patient in waiting on the Lord to lead you before you take any step at this time. So many principles that have always worked are beginning to crumble. Trust in Lord alone.

Have a great week

The Coming Of The Lord Is Near

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty. It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
