The Joel Army



The bible is full of several prophecies about the last days or the end times. The church is familiar with what covers just half of the prophecies. The other half have not been taught so well in many churches. Perhaps, this is the work of the devil in keeping us from knowing the truth.

The prophecies in the bible about the last days are two fold. It is like a sword that has two edges. One edge is what we know as the terrible things that will happen. Things like wars, earthquakes, disease outbreaks and christian conditions like reduced love for God, apostasy and many more.

These are certainly true, but that is not all about the last days. The bible also talked about prophecies of the church becoming really great in the last days. Maybe our little knowledge of the books we refer to as minor prophets in the bible is responsible for this, I cannot say. But if we will fulfill our calling as sons of God, we must understand the whole scripture.

The bible talks about a group of people that will arise in the last days when gross darkness has taken over the earth. These people will be revealed by the great light that is shinning upon them despite the thick darkness that has enveloped the world.

The book of Joel is a book that explains the characteristics of this group of people in great detail and that is why several ministers have referred to the group of people as the 'Joel Army' or the 'Joel Company'. This term is simply a nomenclature that separates them from the other kinds of armies that the bible prophesied of.

This series will be to highlight and explain the characteristics of this unique set of believers. I will be sharing them gradually with explanations.

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...

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 ...

Why Is Cindy Jacobs Important?

Few days ago, I was having a discussion with a prophetess about the depths of the dimensions of God in the life of Cindy Jacobs. I was telling her about some stories about her ministry and how her works has vibrated through several nations. Two days later, I got a notification that she would be coming to Nigeria! I was shocked. I reached out to the prophetess and she confirmed to me that it is not a coincidence that we were discussing about her few days ago and now, she is coming into our territory. Now, we know that fame is not necessarily the signature of God upon an individual or movement, but because the church is structured in a body pattern, we have several dimensions of God flowing through and we are called to carry and steward specific dimensions.  It is important to know the dimensions of God you are called to carry and it is also important to know those who carry this same dimension so that you can learn about the possibilities of God through you. I am singling out Cindy ...
