Word For The 25th Week Of 2018

Topic: Watch and Pray

Text: Mark 14:38 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh [is] weak."

One of the instructions of our LORD to us is to watch and pray. This is one of the most essential instruction to us in this last days where prophecies are being fulfilled.

Several prophecies have been foretold about the times that we are living in and the dynamics of the fulfillment of prophecies require us to watch and pray.

Daniel, during his days practicalized this instruction when he began to read the prophecies of Jeremiah about the times he was living. He discovered that there was a word from the LORD that ought to have been fulfilled, so he began to fast and pray.

The process of checking prophecies and making sure that the counsel of the LORD is being established in the land is what is referred to as watching. In Daniel 4, we see the action of a watcher (which could be an angel or a man) making decrees that it must be established in the earth that God rules in the affairs of men.

A watcher is someone who can see the occurrences in the spiritual world and is able to tie it to physical events as spiritual occurrences always have a corresponding physical event. We must understand that the spiritual world is the tangible realm while the physical world is just a mirror of the spiritual world.

The LORD wants us at this time to watch what is taking place in the spiritual realm and begin to make decrees on the earth to establish the counsel of the LORD. That's what watchers do.

I urge you to check out the prophecies about your life and about this time and begin to pray and fast for the fulfillment. Be a watcher! Fast and Pray!

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...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...
