Gather Yourself Into Troops

 

Text: Mic 5:1  Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.

The last days is like a 2 edged sword. The two sides are very sharp and can cause things to happen. One side of the edge is the perilous times that would cause a lot of things to go from bad to worse in the 7 spheres of influence. Other aspects of the edge of this sword are wars, pestilences. Also on this edge of the sword, Paul, the apostle listed a number of attributes of the last days in 2TIm 3:1-5.

Paul was warning Timothy here about people who exhibit such characters in the church! The times have become so perilous today that a lot of people are falling away gradually into the world. We are in the times that many are already questioning their faith and exchanging it with the ideas and views of the world. We are seeing a falling away at an unprecedented rate in this world.

The LORD gave me a warning concerning 2023 that the rate at which people will fall away will be very high especially in Nigeria because 2023 is like a sharp bend. The LORD gave me the analogy of a bicycle race where a lot of cyclers are on a sharp bend. Many fall down at this point and they won't be able to continue the race again. This is what will happen to many in 2023.

This is not referring to their Christian race of ending up in heaven, but they won't be able to follow God at the pace at which He is moving and as such will not have a place in what God is doing on the earth. And yes, some may lose their faith in Christ totally. It is a perilous time.

After this word, I asked the LORD for the solution. First, to say it cannot happen to you is the first step in it happening to you, so you must be humble enough to find out what the LORD would have you do to escape the great tribulation to come. The reply of the LORD was "gather yourself into troops".

In the book of Micah, the prophet was talking about the things that will happen in the last days and he mentioned the gathering into troops. A troop is a group of soldier with a common goal or instruction. The LORD is counselling us to bind ourselves with people of the same mind; people who will ensure that you stay on course.

As it is, we have just 2022 to prepare ourselves and form these troops. In many Christian circles, the knowledge of God available is not sufficient to navigate the waters of 2023. So it is important that you find the people that can help you to stay awake in 2022. Gather yourself into troops.

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...
