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.

But You Did Not Learn Christ In This Way

       I remember meeting a man of God in his office after the Sunday Services in his Church. I, like many others that day needed a few minutes with him. I was there at the instruction of the LORD to deliver a message. As we were talking, one of his Church workers came in and gave him a note. His face lit up, and he was very excited. I saw that there were sets of numbers written. I thought the numbers represented those who gave their lives to Christ, because many came out during the Altar Call to give and rededicate their lives to the LORD Jesus Christ. No! Apparently, they represent the number of people in attendance at each of the three services with the corresponding money collections realised.         They were not concerned about the souls that came out hungry for God! I was saddened by their excitement. They were not excited about the souls that came into the Kingdom of God; rather, they were rejoicing about their egos, ranks and bank a...

An Answer To Almighty God's Question

 "So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me” (Isaiah 6:5-8).         As the Coming of the LORD draws ever closer, there is an increase in dryness, apathy and preoccupation with the world and its treasures in the hearts and minds of many children of God. Looking around our Nation (Nigeria), one would realise that things are not as they should be. The realities on the ground give the impression that the institutions that ought to regulate the lives of the citizen...

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...
