Prophetic Perspective

 


I think I may have written on this topic already, but I have a nudge in my heart to do this again. What is prophetic perspective? What is the importance of a prophetic perspective? How does prophetic perspective affect us?

We live in a world that is fundamentally spiritual, but because the spiritual cannot be seen with the eyes of the flesh, it is often relegated to the secondary. Physical activities on earth are a result of spiritual permutations.

Paul, the apostle, charged the Ephesian church to understand God's will and not walk in foolishness. He also charged the Corinthian church to pay attention to spiritual things than the physical.

About a month ago, I was reading the book of Revelation. Those parts that talks about seals being opened and different horses riding into the earth to cause different things to happen. I wondered if we are going to see physical horses riding in the skies or on the land across countries, it then dawned on me that these are spiritual visions.

When these horses are riding in the spiritual, we will only see their effects in the natural. It is amazing how many can still ignore the bible in this times despite the world moving in the exact direction that the bible said it will move. I study the fulfillment of last days prophecies and I get stunned by the accuracy of the words written over 2000 years ago.

When an event happens, several professional will analyse it based on their knowledge. The political analyst, sociologist, educationist, scientists, financial analyst and many others will give their take on the event that happened and rightly so. However, we must know that as much as these people have perspectives to issues on earth, there is perspective that has gone ahead which is the spiritual.

The spiritual is always ahead of the physical. Before anything can happen in the physical, someone must have made it happen in the spiritual. Whether we are aware or not. The spiritual is superior to the physical and this is why you see highly placed people in the physical go after highly placed people in the spiritual. It's not religion. It's wisdom.

Spiritual perspective to an event helps us to know if the event came from God or the devil. If it is from God, we embrace it and if it is a devilish event, we stand against it. That's one of the duties of the church in this last days- to withstand the evil ones.

Spiritual perspective also help us to know what to do about situations. Individually, it gives you direction. Some people go to traditionalists to get spiritual perspective. We must know that it is not only God that is in the spiritual. There are demons too, so we must ensure that we pass though the right door- Jesus, if we want to see the Father.

Getting spiritual perspective to an event or situation simply requires you to ask from the Lord. 'If any man lack wisdom, let him ask...' Find out from His Spirit what really happened or what is really happening? Sometimes, events are not what they look like in the physical. Haman wanted to wipe out the Jews, but it was an interplay of prophecies right from the days of Moses that was actually happening.

Joseph read the situations of his life correctly. Mordecai saw beyond the physical. Moses saw the invisible. David knew that there is a king in the spiritual. For us to see correctly, we must trust God to help our sight and heart. We must be able to see as God sees, hear as God hears and know as God knows.

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...
