The Candle Sticks In The Believer

Text: Isa 11:1-2 And a Shoot goes out from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.

Last week, the LORD showed us the meaning of the candlesticks. This week, the LORD would have us consider how to relate these candles to our lives. It is very important for every believer to be able to recognize when a candle is bright and when it is getting dim. So, we will look into the seven spirits of God to state what they means.

Spirit of the LORD: Dominance, Respect, Enviable Brand, Nobility, Reverence like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses.

Spirit of Wisdom: Wisdom, Innovations, Inventions, Ideas, Investment savvy Noah, Enoch, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Isaachar, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Deborah, Ruth.

Spirit of Understanding: Understanding, Leadership, Management, Administration, Policy Making, Legislation like Enoch, Abraham, Isaachar, Joseph, Moses, Miriam, Gideon, Deborah

Spirit of Might: Territorial governance, Emotional strength, Physical strength, Dunamis like Adam, Deborah, Jacob, Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, Samson, Gideon, Saul.

Spirit of Counsel: Counsel, Problem Solving, World Peace, Advocacy, Critical Analysis, Diplomacy, Judiciary like Abraham, Deborah, Samuel, Joseph, Moses, Miriam, Daniel.

Spirit of Knowledge: High level intelligence, Knowledge, High Intelligence Quotient, High Emotional Quotient like Adam, Enoch, Joseph, Moses, Daniel.

Spirit of the Fear of the LORD: Reverence for God, Righteousness Enforcer like Moses, Elijah, Jael

At any point in time, if you see that any of the candle is getting dim, take time to pray in the Spirit and listen to apostolic and prophetic teachings about it. This is part of what the LORD says we should be watching. Watch and Pray.

The LORD Keep you

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...

Nine Years As A Scribe

So, last night, I was meditating about the things that God is doing in this times and it dawned on me that we are in a period where our minds are being bombarded with images, video and text. We are in the greatest period of media height. Everywhere you turn, you see something waiting for your mind to feed on. You're not free at any point in time from the floods coming from the various platforms. Majority of the contents in recent years are immoral and the cry for biblically sound and creative content has been going on for some years. Thank God for the success that we have recorded in the past few years. The media is being used to project several images into our minds. I did a small social experiment last month. I was speaking to a group of young boys in a school about Bobrisky. I asked how many of them would like to be like him and no one raised hand. Then I changed the question and said that if I tell you that I would give you 1 million every month and all I want from you is to be...
