Word For The Week: The Separation (Part 3)




Text: Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.


In this season of increasing light, we are seeing a dichotomy between those who are disciples and those following for the sake of what they can get from God. Many of the last days event that we push to after rapture will actually take place here on earth or let me say, we will see a measure of it here on earth before we transit to heaven.


One of those events is what Jesus described in Matthew 25 using the parable of 10 virgins. Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins who took lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Take note that they are all virgins and they all have lamps which means that these 10 virgins have consecrated themselves to Jesus and they all have lamps which signify revelation knowledge.


A believer that has given his/her life to Jesus, consecrated himself/herself and even have revelation knowledge would be considered well above the average mark in this times, but it happened that this set of believers did not take part in the marriage supper of the Lamb. What was their error? They didn't have extra oil!


The extra oil became needful as time travelled forward and the bridegroom tarried. Their lamps began to grow dim which means that they could not see very well again. Why do they need lamps to enter with the bridegroom? It is so that they can recognize him when he comes.


Today, there are a lot of people whose light is growing dim because the time is getting longer and darkness is growing. As darkness is growing, their intensity of light could not handle the present situation and they could not see again. The last days is such that you need increasing light to be able to keep up with the pace of God and above the lust of the eyes, list of the flesh and the pride of life.


Many decades ago, there was no temptation called pornography, but it is abundant today. This is an example of growing darkness. As this is happening, if you are fueling your lamp more, you'll find out that you'll not be able to handle things. If you fail in the day of battle, your strength is little.


There are many Christians who are already campaigning against prophetic voices because they cannot see what God is saying through those prophets. There are some folks who do not see anything wrong with homosexuality because their lamp's intensity is dim. They cannot recognize righteousness again. This will happen to a lot more. Zechariah says two-third will actually be cut off in this last days.


The gap is getting wider. Extra oil refers to getting to handle spiritual truths yourself and not just be based on what is shared in church alone. You must strive to create time to fellowship. You can't survive without Him. Attend stretch prayer meetings. Don't let your lamp dwindle at all.


Shalom


Maranatha

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...
