Indeed, The Bones Shall Live Again!


“The hand of the Lord was on me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones.” Ezekiel 37:1. Waking up in the morning brings no joy to your heart because of the daunting issues that are staring at you in the face. You prayed expecting a miracle to lift this terrible cloud of debts, hopelessness and loss from you but it feels like the more you pray the tougher it becomes. In the gathering of God’s children you pretend it is well so that it would not look as if you are the faithless one; what with those powerful messages from the pulpit. Just like the verse above, you are smack in the middle of it all and you find yourself going round and round the issues. You love the Lord, that is not negotiable but here you are right in the middle of these situations you cannot fathom! The Bible says these bones were very many and very dry, meaning they had been in that state for a very long time with no hope in sight. But the Lord is asking you as He did Ezekiel “can these bones live again?” When we survey the situation, it is not possible for what we are facing or lost to be resuscitated or replaced. But like Ezekiel, we must submit to His will and declare only He knows. If you truly submit the situation to Him, He is commanding you to rise up from the dust, the seat of despondency, tears and grief and speak to the bones just as He commanded Ezekiel to. Enough of nursing the grief, shame, pain, loss and the likes, it is time to speak to these bones to rise again. The Lord declares to us that whatever He hears us say without wavering in faith He would do. Friend, your set time has come, rise up and prophesy to the dead dry weights to live again! As you do this in faith without wavering, the Lord will back up His word and they would live again. 

One remarkable thing about this account was that after Prophet Ezekiel prophesied, the bones did come together but there was no life. Maybe you have been trusting God for a child, a job, promotion or whatever it may be, just when you think you have it, it all comes crumbling down. It is not that the Lord had not answered after all He was the One that asked you to prophesy to the bones in the first place, but because Life was yet to come into the situation. Remember in Genesis 2:7, when God finished creating man from the dust, it was not until God breathed into man did he become a living being. Without this breath man is but dust, controlled by his instincts like an animal. Same with the situation at hand, without the breath of God, there is no change only a cycle of falling and rising. But the time to stand and stand strong has come. Friend it is time to prophesy and declare “Breath, come from the four winds and breathe into these slain so they may live!” Be Strong my friend and stand firm, declare Him (Jesus Christ) into the situation because He IS the LIFE giving Spirit. Do this and witness a remarkable victory in Jesus Christ Name. INDEED THE BONES SHALL LIVE AGAIN!

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
