The Separation (Part 2)

Last week, the LORD began to tell us of a separation that is already going on. A lot of activities are going on in heaven right now for the reception of the saints that overcome. One of those activities is the marking or sealing of men into several orders. God is separating individuals into the hot and lukewarm. Many parables of Jesus showed that the last days will lead to many separations.

In the book of Revelations, Jesus described the state of seven churches and one of them is the Laodecian church. This church felt they had a lot of things already so much that they were described as lukewarm. Lukewarm is a mixture of the hot and he cold. This is because they could not see their wretched spiritual state.

On the individual level, God is going to separate us into hot and lukewarm. Take note that this separation is among believers and not unbelievers which means that there are several camps among the believers. We are in the season where you cannot continue to fake things. You must press to the point of handling the realities of the life of God within us.

A believer referred to as hot is someone with an altar- a place where God consistently communes with the person thereby acknowledging his need for a Saviour. You cannot outsource this. Lukewarm Christians are the ones whose pursuit is man-centered and need-based. They do not pay attention to their spiritual state. Many have fallen into this situation, but because they are rich in material things, they are unbothered. The heart of the Father is not their concern, but His hands because they have not given their full allegiance to the master.

There is a tendency to say hot believers are those who pray loudly. That's not true. They are people whose heart can be easily reached by God when He has a word/burden. 'For He makes His ministers a flame of fire...'. When you have a walk with Him, He makes you into His image and as such your maturity and closeness to the Father of light ensures that you remain burning. This category are not perfect, but they do no indulge their imperfection.

Do not be a believer that is only interested in what you can get from the hands of God and have no love for what is in the heart of the Father. Change your direction. Be interested in your growth. Create time for Him. Fellowship. This is what ensures that you remain in Him. Shalom.

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...
