Book of Revelations by Rick Joyner

Rick Joyner

During the year 2018, Rick Joyner did an extensive study on the book of revelations. The book is one of the least understood books of the bible and the reason is because it is sealed. I wrote about it earlier; you can read it here The importance of this book to us at this time cannot be overemphasized.

I have compiled some of the lessons I learned from the series and brought them to you:

Heaven



Heaven is a place and not an abstract analogy or a literary expression. There is a tangible place called heaven and it is somewhere the mind cannot figure out. The place is very huge so much that the mind cannot begin to try to imagine how big it is. The size of the earth is nothing compared to what heaven looks like. This is why the word of the Lord will surely come to pass because there is no force on the earth that can stand against the counsel of heaven. No matter the size of the evil on this earth, victory is certain. The power that backs a believer is beyond all that the world military can pull together.

Worship


There is constant worship for God in heaven, but God desires worship from the earth more than from heaven. The implication of this is simply that God wants us to love Him above all the other things that are present on this earth. Our worship is cherished much more than what we think.

God's Work


On the earth, the devil and dark spirits are doing a lot of works leading to death, however our God is in charge of this earth and our focus must not shift from what God is doing on the earth to what the devil is doing or what man is doing. Many a time, we shift our focus from what God is doing and begin to pray and concentrate on what the devil is doing. As much as we should not neglect the advances of the devil (bible says we should resist him), we must not begin to look out for the devil and the things he is doing. Our focus must remain on God. He is still in charge. The kingdom of God is fully established in heaven, but it is not in full operations on the earth which means that we still have a measure of darkness in operation on the earth. This can be so much that we begin to behold it and when we behold darkness, we begin to take up it evil nature.

New Earth



The new earth will be ruled by Jesus for 1,000 years and the assignment of Jesus and the saints that return with Him will be to restore the earth to its original form in Genesis 1:1. Jesus and the church is (we are jointed) involved in the process of redemption right now (Jesus being the saviour and the church being His body), but the 1,000 years will be for restoration of the earth to what God created in the beginning. This assignment will be a process and not an event and the process will be for 1,000 years.

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...
