Word For The 5th Week Of 2019

Topic: Watch and Pray

Text: Mark 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

I will be sharing the last part of the LORD's instructions to me for 2019 this week and next. It is a very crucial instruction for every believer in this last days. It's simply reads 'watch and pray'.

The instruction to watch and pray in the bible goes mostly for the coming back of Jesus Christ to take away the saints in what we know as rapture. It is very important that we get our theology right about rapture so that we can prepare adequately.

Paul said to the Corinthian church that rapture will happen 'in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump...'. There have been controversies about what Paul is trying to pass across here with respect to whether unbelievers will see rapture take place or not and why he referred to the trumpet sound as last. Some have called it erroneous.

Well, I believe what the Holy Spirit through Paul wrote here. Rapture is truly the call of the last trumpet which means that there will be other trumpet sounds before the last one. This is why Jesus warned us to watch and pray.

The initial trumpets sounds will not be physical as it will take a man who watches and prays to be able to discern what the signs are. Jesus never wanted us to be in dark about when He will return. He gave many signs that will show us when He will return, but we often ignore them.

A watcher must stay with the word to be able to identify the things that the LORD is putting on the earth to announce His coming. Simply, a watcher watches. Study the bible prophecies about the end times and place side by side with world events and you will be shocked at how much prophecies have been fulfilled and how much time we have left.

The coming of Jesus is closer than we think.

I urge you to be diligent in watching and praying. The LORD does not want us to be in the dark about His coming.

Have a great week

The Coming Of The Lord Is Near

Your Brother,

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 ...
