The New Order!

After Jesus was tempted of the devil for 40 days, the Bible says in Luke 4:14 that He returned to Galilee in the Power of the Holy Spirit and news about Him spread throughout the entire vicinity. The news about Him had spread throughout the vicinity before a single miracle was done. That is the Power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus’ primary purpose was not to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons or perform other miraculous signs. All these were only signs that the Kingdom of God had come to earth. Jesus’ ultimate assignment was to make way for the coming Kingdom by introducing men to the Power of the Holy Spirit; transforming and regenerating Power of God! The Holy Spirit is the connecting link that links us back to the Father and His glorious Kingdom. He is the down payment of our inheritance for the redemption of the possession of this glorious inheritance. No wonder the Bible tells us in Acts 3:26 that Jesus was sent by God first to bless us by turning us away from our evil ways, thus, making us not only candidates but citizens of His Glorious Kingdom. It then follows as citizens of this Kingdom; we must live by the code and customs. One of the codes that is cardinal is that we have being delivered from the grip of fear. An instrument the devil uses to bind men in order to cause his own will to come to pass in their lives.
The Lord is reminding us to rise up and be who He died for us to become. We must no longer be subject to the beggarly and elementary spirits that holds the world bound. Matthew 11:12 tells us that from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven has been suffering violence and the violent have being seizing it by force. This simply means that ever since the days of John, an invasion has been under way. A military take-over is IN PROGRESS, A NEW ORDER, which no one is aware of except those that had been captured: body, soul, mind, heart, choice, future etc. Such captives are automatically enlisted members of this Heavenly Military Elite: dangerous men to the Kingdom of darkness. Friend, the Kingdom of Heaven is advancing forcefully and we who are citizens of this Kingdom are automatically enlisted in this Army. As part of this Army we must continue to storm the strongholds of the enemy: thus, taking the fight to the gates of the enemy to push it back. Enough of playing defense, it is time to attack and take back not only what is ours but to reclaim the earth. The Bible says the glory of God will cover the earth as water covers the seas. We must arise and push back the wave of the enemy until God’s glory covers the earth as water covers the seas. Friend, this is what it means to be citizens of this New Order of the Kingdom of God. As Kingdom Citizens, we do not roll over and play dead for the devil; we must arise and advance forcefully. Gone are the days when we sit down wringing our hands over problems, hardships, lack, failures etc. The Kingdom of God does not run from a fight, retreat or surrender. The Kingdom of God stands firm, advances and overcomes. Friend, arise and take your place in this Elite Army with the motto: No retreat, No defeat and No Surrender!!

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,...
