Arouse The Lion!


Sometimes we reminiscence about vibrant young men and women that were fervent for the Lord; they were no nonsense children of God that were set to die for the gospel. The enemy dreaded their prayers; in fact they were practically sent away from schools, fellowships, churches, homes or their neighborhoods because they became a clog in the wheel for the kingdom of darkness. Anytime they opened their mouths, the kingdom of darkness was in trouble. They are still very much around but very QUIET! What exactly silenced them? The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, thus, as children of the Most High God, we are young lions too! However, take a look around you; the spiritual mountains are littered with the bones of dead lions that once roared on the mountains. Some of those that are still living, roaming the landscapes have their voice boxes surgically removed. Of what good is a lion that cannot roar? Such a lion is as good as dead! No wonder the Bible says a living dog is better than a dead lion. Ezekiel 19:1-4 talked about a young lion that grew very powerful tearing and devouring its prey. This lion did great exploits that he aroused the interest and jealousy of the surrounding nations; they laid traps for him that eventually caught him and he was then taken to Egypt. By verse 9b we saw the reason why this was done “so his roar could no longer be heard on  the mountains of Israel." The surrounding nations will do anything to silence him. Lets bring the message home a bit. You were doing so well in the Lord. You strode the spiritual landscape like a colossus some time ago, suddenly, you no longer function as you used to. Your roar is no better than a puppy’s yelp! What went wrong? Please, don’t take your silence for granted, something silenced you and it must be silenced in return. The Bible says in Galatians 5:7-8: “You were running well, Who prevented you from obeying the truth? This persuasion did not come from Him who called you.” So many children of God have been cut down suddenly at the midday of their race. Every day the Lord allows them to live is actually for them to see this error and quickly amend their ways. So many young lions have been silenced by sin, troubles whilst others were silenced by sudden prosperity. Friend, the aim of darkness is to spiritually surgically remove our voice boxes so that we would not be able to proclaim the wonders of God upon the spiritual mountains of the world. Have you been silenced in anyway? It doesn’t matter in what form, your Father in Heaven is waiting on you to re-fix and restore your voice box again. Some  may wonder: “why me?” Why not you? The Bible says when the lion roars who will not fear? If the enemy can silence you, then he has regained lost ground. Friend, it is time to regain our voices back, shout the enemy down and take back all that had been stolen from us.

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,...
