Word For The 35th Week Of 2018

Topic: Grooming Children

Text: Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

The agenda of God for this last days is being revealed unto us and it has thus far, shown that children have a place in the plans of God for this time and that is why God is raising a people who have the desire to lead children into the realms of the Spirit.

God is raising men who are called into what we know today as children ministry and it is the duty of these people to show them the way of the LORD.

In the text for the week, we see an act of the disciples of Jesus which is similar to what we do today in the church. We often look at the children as if they do not have the right to the things of God. We assume that their mental capacity cannot handle the things of God.

Jesus rebuked them and called for the children to come to Him and He did a profound thing- He laid hands of them. The children are the only set of people that the 4 gospels reveal that Jesus laid hands on. This is very significant as the doctrine of laying on hands is meant to impart gifts.

Jesus recognizes the abundance that can be harvested from the manifestation of the gifts of God through children. We must also recognize this. Training our children must go beyond just good character. We must learn to impart spiritual gifts into them.

We are in the days where children would speak in other tongues, worship God in the Spirit, lay hands on the sick and they will recover and do great signs and wonders in the earth to reap a great harvest for our Master.

I urge you to begin to see children as a great treasure in the hands of God and impart spiritual gifts into them as the LORD permits. Don't look down on them as the LORD is already pouring His anointing upon them.

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...
