Architect of the future part 4

Daniel gives insight to the present human crisis

in the past two articles we posted on building a future according to the Lord’s divine blueprint; we generally focused on some very important points, regarding the type of spiritual template and structure needed in the seasons ahead of us. The lord is expressly speaking with a clear loud voice for the wise at heart to listen. We believe is to our interest that those whom the Lord has granted the grace of prophetic sight to bring accurate perspective and direction to the ongoing shaken such that nations are able to see the walking of Gods redeeming grace and mercy among them. We related the global socioeconomic challenges, as a vital instrument of refinement for government, politicians and corporate leaders in adjusting their paradigm of a self-serving mentality. This ongoing global shaken comes with several godly objects that will  help readjust the creative capacity of the society which in turn will impact the economic landscape of the nations of the world.

The economic and political inequality the nations have witnessed in the past are presently being judge in various ways that will eventually bring equilibrium to every sector of human life. When one looks around the world one can see the very cause of the ongoing Western and European economic meltdown. Injustice and self-serving in global economy plays a huge role. God is a God built this world on the foundation of justice and equity. Therefore, any government or private institution built on injustice will not be left on judged. The judgment of God is design to lead to repentance and not necessarily, condemnation like some will assume. The whole purpose of the shaken is to draw the attention of both the nations and the church back to righteousness. Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to its people.

The redemption of humanity is crucial to Gods prophetic agenda. God has set s day aside in which his eternal purpose becomes the very key that drives the activity of man in the earth. This is the day of the Lord‘s voice; He is calling from where the paths meet and only the wise will listen to his voice. The Lord is shaking everything that can be shaken for the things that cannot be shaken to remain. The only way you and me will avoid been shaken is if we completely walk in faith and obedience to the revelation of the covenant we have with Christ.

When the Lord decides to shake Egypt, only those who listen and obeyed the voice of Gods prophetic direction to remain in doors in the Land of Goshen where secured from unprecedented destruction. Refusal to follow the counsel of the Lord in this day carries great consequence that we cannot imagine. As Moses was to Pharaoh in Egypt so was Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. The Lord is preparing the ground for his Church to take the center stage in manifesting his glory in the uncertain moment for the people of the world. The church still need to have a clearer and deeper understanding of the operation of the Father’s life in other to walk in the power of his light. The situation did not hinder the outflow of the divine life of God in the lives of those three Hebrew children. The Lord used the quality of life to brining the nation of Babylon to her knees. What a glorious moment assign us.

Daniel, as a prophetic book gives a clear insight into the nature of the days we in and at the same time, offers a perfect biblical standard to how the nations can be saved from their ongoing crisis. it is important to note that what the world today is facing is similar to what past generation faced. there difference is, past generation understood the power of moral value as key principles for building sustainable society while this generation, in her glory of technology has lost all sense of honor, dignity and morality. The lost for power and self-glory has been a major downfall of this present generation. The refusal to accept the way of the Lord has caused the nation to collide with Gods righteous judgment.

As the humanistic wisdom of this present age continue to disappoint, leaders seem not have a clue to how to handle issues. The blind response world leaders have shown so far in the ongoing economic and political crisis indeed has proven how fragile the structural foundation of man believes system. Many in the society have already become enslave to fear, confusion, anxiety and depression unfortunately. The sense of a bleak future is causing millions to lose their sleep. The fact that government across the globe cannot give their citizens precise definition to what is causing the world’s economy to shutdown with all the stimulus packages, recapitalization and devaluation of some seemly stronger currency is causing millions across the earth not just to panic but almost going insane.

Dan 2:31-35

31 “You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue-an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. NIV

Anxiety, of which country is next in line to face the wrought of this mysterious force, attacking powerful institutions built on the philosophy of humanism for centuries is almost causing some world leaders their position of influence. Well, it is the inherent nature of man, saved or unsaved to try to comprehend what is happening in and around his world even if he lacks the immediate solution. The fact that a human cannot make sense of what is going on, creates in him a sense of weakness, vulnerability and fear. These are all characteristics of the fallen human nature. Man glory in knowledge, this kind of knowledge created through scientific facts, theories and research. In addition, there is nothing wrong with these scientific principles if man can recognize God as the author of all wisdom and knowledge. Unfortunately, human ingenuity will not able to precisely answer the questions of this ongoing shaken until the Lord is done with the statement he is making. Let those with the ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is saying. Social psychologists say the numbers of people becoming suicidal across the nations are on the increase.

Thousands across Europe and America, especially those who have lost their jobs and houses are staging protest march against the way their political leaders and the banking institutions that seem to have ‘fed fat’ on the woes of the common average person. Many are asking the question, how in the world did their government allowed this economic crisis get out of hand to the point where millions have not only lost their jobs but are losing their lives to the crisis? The Ripple effect of this is already affecting most parts of the world’s market, in particularly, places like Africa known to be a consumer market. One can understand if the plague of this present anxiety is merely limited to the non-Christians; unfortunately, the church is also cut-up in this web of confusion and disillusion.

Warning ahead of time

The church is giving an advantage of volumes of scriptural references which describes the nature of activity that will climax the last days and how each of should be postured in responding without fear or anxiety. Our faith through bible passages is encouraged to be anchor on the unwavering grace of the Father. Student of God’s prophetic program finds this season highly crucial to the development of their spiritual structure. This season offers them the opportunity not only to experience the unfolding nature of the Lord prophetic purpose for the Church and the nations but also for them to share as part of the crafted building stones the Father is using to restore the ruined tabernacle of David. What a noble opportunity to be alive in this sacred day of the Lord.

Luke 21:34-36

34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 35 For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” NIV

Enrolling yourself in the school of spiritual developing creates within you both the attitude and capacity of listening and been able to know with consistency the voice of the Lord’s direction, most especially in times of deep human predicament. This kind of spiritual template offers the edge of attaining spiritual breakthrough; however, very few believers have indeed learned to take advantage of times of crisis to measure their insight and values.

It is crucial for Christians all across the world to display the attitude of an unconditional faith and hope in the one who called them to represent him. While the ongoing crisis maybe challenging the stuff the foundation of our Christianity is made of. This kind of test is required if we must have earn the approval of the God kind of faith. On the other hand, for those who have being praying and seeking the face of the Lord for a change in the spiritual landscape of their nation, this moment certainly offers such an opportunity for everyone’s attention to be refocused on the Lord. As the Lord lays the groundwork for the final face of his move across the earth, the philosophy and standard of the world’s system shall continue to face seasons of shaken and adjustment until God’s desire is fully established.

Believers have an unprecedented opportunity to firsthand experience the power of the Lords redeeming grace as the Lords light continue to shine within her camp while darkness continue to strike down the high and the mighty of the society. Hindsight into history clearly shows that out of the darkest seasons of man comes a new order of visionary leaders who champions there generation into a more glorious season of prosperity and wealth. The true real essence of Faith has always played a key role in the awakening of a nation from the ashes of its past failure. I have no doubt that this ongoing difficulty is laying a powerful solid spiritual foundation for the third dimension of the spirit of reformation. What is happening today is neither strange nor new if one has spent time laboring at the foot of the word of God.

The king had a dream

Chapter 2 of the book of Daniel introduces us to the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar; this dream, the scriptures says, bordered the King to the point that he did lose his sleep and could not remember what he had dreamed. What a way of God trying to get the attention of the great king. There are various ways God can employs to draw our attention, no matter how powerful, wealthy or secure we think we are. The Spirit of God recognizes no human boarders. While geography is generally design to help manage and regulate the unbridled human passion from poaching into each other’s territory, God, the creator recognizes no such restriction. He steps into any territory he desires at any time to make his counsel known and felt.

Whatever political or economic restriction man might have built in other to present foreign philosophy or religious ideologies from colonizing its citizens has no restrictive effect on the advancement of Gods purposes to such territory. The authority and sovereignty of God far outweigh any political or economic machinery. Man understands or imagination, no matter how well informed they may be, is just too little to comprehend the nature of God’s prophetic agenda the earth. The Lord sets up Kings and removes them according to his divine purpose. Man, as clay will never be able to understand what is in the mind of the porter. He fashions the clay according to what his imaginative desire. If he is not satisfied with what he makes, he has the full right to break it down and remold it until he gets the shape of his desire. This is how the nations are to God, the creator! No matter how society tries fight to this law, God always fine.
This is no time for human reason

A prideful spiritually blind society will continue to try to reason out what is happening as they watch their investment and sources of security threatened by a force that cannot be identity by their Chrystal ball. The more government tries to figure out what in the world is happening, the more there frustrated and confused they become. They think there is a reasonable explanation to the massive collapse of investment and unemployment their country is facing. While the may be a logical explanation, however, this is going his thing for justice and righteousness to prevail over humanistic foundation they have built in sustaining the economy. The pride and arrogance of the human heart has reached its pick and now soulish human government with all its resources and ingenuity is sliding down without solution. This is the day of the Lord and he is taking back that which is due to him. The pride and loftiness of men’s heart are being {humiliated} humbled right before the eyes of the nations.

The burden of spiritual blindness

1 Cor 3:18-19

18 Stop fooling yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you will have to become a fool so you can become wise by God’s standards. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “God catches those who think they are wise in their own cleverness.” NLT

One of the most subtle deceptions Satan is peddling amongst modern {secular} society is that ‘the knowledge and wisdom of God is not relevant or progressive enough, in playing strategic role in the formation of policies that defines the transformation of good governance, most especially in areas of socioeconomic agendas. This fallacy is already disproved when one carefully study the history of human society. The founding fathers of most nations, including Europe and the United State of America, all draw the inspiration of their national constitution from the Holy Bible. Science and nature itself proves that nothing of its own self can exist without drawing source from something else. Everything in life is directly or indirectly link to another source.

The source of man is God. Man is design to depend on the wisdom and direction, particularly in time of socioeconomic uncertainty. Therefore, if the 21^st century society is truly going to survive the challenges ahead, the wisdom must be embrace at all level of governance. God, the creator of life, gave man an unlimited ability to imagine, think, reason for his own personal and corporate development and not to challenging the wisdom and authority of his creator. God breathe into man his own very {life} Spirit, giving him unparalleled access into the creativeness nature of God. None of the created beings of God, including {Satan} Lucifer, has such access and opportunity. This ability was design to help him explore, discover and {create} invent things for the improvement of his society. This was a clear fact in the Garden of Eden. Adam was giving the key to the Garden of Eden. He was giving the responsibility to nature and nurture the animals in the garden. It is important that we remember that all discoveries or inventions came from an existing reality somewhere deep within the Spirit of God. All things exist in God. Without him, nothing exist both in the visible or invisible world.

There are depths of God within the creative nature of the spirit and soul of man yet to be uncovered. The rebellious and prideful nature of the fall of man has continued to hinder and pervert his creativeness, such that, man views Christ followers as the sole enemy to social economic development. This is the subtle battle between the Spirit led members of the Body of Christ and the social humanism ideology. The spirit and the soul of man are design by God, the creator to walk in harmony with his truth in other for it to reach the zenith of his creative and productive destiny. Therefore, when we go to school to learn, education should not be offer in way that portrays God as a liar or even known existed. Real facts are based on the truth, the truth can only be accessed when one genuinely encounter him, who is the sources of all truth-Jesus Christ. Today’s society might not have had the opportunity to hear this true gospel of Christianity, however, the time has come for architects of tomorrows society to start inculcate this knowledge in the mentality of society.

This is what needs to be reform as we continue as the remnant members of the Church of the Lord continue to represent Christ kingdom in the earth. Therefore, separating state and religion was design by humanistic philosophy in trying to disconnect the influence of the laws of God from redeeming and transforming society in a way where equalization of state power and resources becomes the building blocks of all members of the society. While I believe without doubt that the founding fathers of the modern philosophy of democracy had the intention of a balance of power, however, a lot still need to be clear in the process of reforming and broadening the values of democracy and capitalism. Righteousness in its true definition should be the solid foundation of any nation’s leadership that honestly seeks the wellbeing for its citizens.

Who will interpret the Kings dream?

Here was a man ruling one of the most powerful kingdom ever known to be built by men ingenuity, yet burdened by a mere ‘dream’ he could not remember nor get any of his astrologers or men of knowledge to interpret. I find this intriguing and at the same worrisome, that Nebuchadnezzar was actually planning to kill all his men of wisdom if they cannot come up with the dream and its meaning. I found this incident as a power strategy God was using to bring the wisdom of the powerful kingdom to futility. Their inability to find the dream and its interpretation shows without doubt the weakness and limitation of the philosophy governing Babylon as an empire. Babylon is set to be a nation given deeply into the worship of the heavenly host. The use of stargazing as signs of what will happen in the immediate future is not a strange occurrence in the Land.

Most men in Babylon are brought up in the school of spiritism. They take pride in knowing how to interpret omens. Consulting forces of darkness to give access into dream interpretation and other forms of enchantments was a usual event in the land. However, known of them could gain access into spirit realm nor could interpret the dream. it was time for Gods glory to be reveal in Babylon and the Lord was determined to use ordinary men captured to save as slavery to interpret the Kings dream. This is the pattern God is about to use in interpreting the dreams of the 21st century community. Answers that will resolve the ongoing sociopolitical and economic woe will come from those who have access to Gods creative wisdom.

1 Cor 3:18-19

18 Stop fooling yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you will have to become a fool so you can become wise by God’s standards. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “God catches those who think they are wise in their own cleverness.” NLT

By wisdom, a house (Business or nation) is built; the wisdom that offers the creative strategy of building is not going to come from fallen human philosophy. God needs you as his church to wake unto righteousness so that his wisdom can find a place to seat within your heart. This is the day of the display of Gods creative spirit and those who avail themselves as instrument will be used in an unprecedented way to bring the nations to the hill of the Lord.

It is time for a fresh anointing that accelerates capacity. The Lord is counting on you and me to advance his kingdom as the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. This are days of the spirit of Daniel. God is looking for men and women the present condition within or around them does disenfranchise them from actively displaying the glory of God. Setting your eyes on challenges rather on the wisdom of God can limit your spiritual ability. The future God is building is one where his glory of his rulership becomes the site that attracts the nations to his mountain.

Prophetic perspective of

Current shift in season

Part 3

A signpost to the future

The book of Daniel gives a clear prophetic insight into the nature of the days ahead and at the same time, offers an accurate in-depth biblical interpretation of what the Spirit of the Lord is saying to his Church regarding the principle of navigating crisis. Crises or tribulation are part of life. From the period of the fall of man to this present moment, man has witness various type of tribulation one could ever imagine, however, there is no tribulation to be compare to the one our Lord faced when he died for the sins of the whole world on the cross. The enemy has always used various forms of trials and tribulation to break human will to submission. Yet, for those who have truly been branded by the redemptive nature of God’s Spirit are never submerge by this trick, no matter the level of pain or disappointment they may suffer.

The truth is, the agony of failure and disappointment is usually an effective weapon the enemy uses to cripple must believer especially those who are over burden by material needs. If you as a member of the Church of the Lord are truly going to triumph in this last day, you must be willing to overcome the deep desires of the flesh and soul because they are the gateway of the enemy into our lives. one of the truths apostolic Christianity is restoring is the ability to learn how to abound and abase in all things. the capacity to keep our spirit despite what we may be facing is a true grace of apostolic Christianity. Abundance and lack are two extreme realities the church is still struggling to understand and accurately handle. These two remain the most effective tools in the hands of the enemy. The ability to buy and sale is proven the defining factor of must Christian faith today and no longer the unconditional love for God. How many have lost faith because their cars and houses have been repossessed by the banks. How many individuals, families and businesses today are in huge depth due to the pressure of trying to maintain their lavish lifestyle?

The spirit of the anti-Christ

The power of the anti-Christ lays within the spirit of commences. The Scripture says people will not be able to buy or sale except the have the mark of the beast on their forehead and righthand, For those who are yet to gain mastery over the spirit of commerce will find themselves compromising under intense pressure of material and emotional needs of the last days. As long as the revelation of total trust and dependance on Christ provision has not become reality, the enemy will always have a foothold over your soul. Poverty is a huge weaponry the kings of the earth have always used to control their subjects. It is still the most effective way leaders of todays society control their citizens. Eighty percent of the wealth of the world is in the hands of twenty percent of the richest Western countries. Eighty percent of these wealth are said to be acquired from the African continent, yet Africa remains the poorest continent in the world. These vast disparities need to be address if the spirit of equity and transformation must prevail in the 21^st century society.

Having said this, we must never allow the enemy to use needs in our lives to push us to compromise our redemptive heritage.The values of education, integrity and dignity should be maintained at all cost. Developing the wisdom to engage the spirit of poverty on a higher ground should be encouraged as educational capacity and skill are sought with all determination. Maintaining our focus to engage the 21^st century with the mentality to manifest the glory of the kingdom of God should be our ultimate desire. Anyone willing to compromise his God given identity to receive the mark of the beast because of temporary challenge must understand the consequence. Pressing into the reality of the future demands that we regain our identity in Christ. Whatever you may face in this journey to the mountain of the Lord should be viewed as a motivating force to reach the end.

We must not only learn to resist the deception of human disappointment but also resolve within our spirit not to allow those temporal need to derail us from our prophetic destiny. The Lord is you shepherd you shall not want…The testimony of the triumphant Church is their ability to overcome all forms of emotional and psychological trials without compromise. Paul highlighted seven intense encounters believers are bound to face as the day of the approaches, and each one must be overcome through our unconditional Love for the Father. The big question we must now ask ourselves is, is the love of God increasing in our heart or are we giving in to the pressure of the transition.

Romans 8:35-39

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” 37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. NKJV

Once again, I will like to state that what is happening across Europe, America, Israel and the Arab world is not the end of the world like some would want us to belief. Rather, this is the beginning of a new area in human history that is reshaping the ideology of man’s theology concerning God’s sovereignty and authority. Many have assumed the Lord has no say in the affairs of man and therefore, they have come to believe that their plan for future without Gods interference is possible.

The huge amount of resource and wealth that has been stockpiled by Europe and the West seem not to be enough in dealing with the humongous challenge before them. Every things seem to be failing without remedy, yet, the solution is right before our eyes, if only we can be humble enough to let God open our eyes to see it. It is now obvious that God is speaking profoundly from his throne concerning the destiny of man as his hand presses hand on nations across the earth. The future is no longer predictable as before.

The day of the Lords Jubilee

Whatever form of wealth nations have accumulated in the name of injustice will be return in this day of the Lord. This is the day of jubilee! God is setting his people free from all forms of bondage and slavery. Acknowledging our injustice and wickedness is a major healing bam in this day of the Lords vengeance. The pride of the nations is coming to naught as the Lord stirs up himself like a sleeping lion. Whatever the nations are hoping in as their future are all coming down. The towers and wall of false defense are coming down. God has become the future of very thing man holds dearly. Trust me, nothing will escape the path of this spiritual hurricane blowing across the land. For those in high places who still assume they are still in charge should rethink because their world is passing away with a great noise while a new one is being ushered in.

In this context, members of the Body of Christ should view what is happening across the world as her moment of opportunity to build momentum towards developing the spiritual structure needed in fulfilling her prophetic destiny. The signs across the globe today are all pointing towards one major need, which is leadership. We have said in time past that leadership is not a title neither is it a mere position of authority; leadership is the capacity that goes beyond administrative skill to actually see and understand the nature of {people} things for what they are and be able to accurately offer solution according to divine direction. In other words, where academic and intellectual skill reaches, is where those with the true spiritual competency start in leading. You cannot separate leadership from divine guidance.

The challenge of leadership

To leader at any level, you must have an insight into the reality of the challenge before you.

Jesus Christ portrays the life of a true leader. He did not only use his influence to make people do things as most leaders are taught in business schools, he had the ability to see deep into the source of each problem and exercise his legitimate authority in addressing the problem. He dealt with the root that produces bad fruits. Leadership goes beyond just solving problem to changing humans. The challenge of leadership at all levels is how to change the inherent human nature. It is clear that the issues leaders of the world are faced with today are way beyond natural occurrence, therefore, to resolve the challenges, those with spiritual insight and capacity should avail themselves. How many people today are failing in the so-called secular work because they listen to the lies of the enemy that says they must not mix their spiritual life with their business. Diving your life into spiritual and secular is one of the greatest deception you could ever buy. You have one life and that one life is expressed in various sphere of your existence.

The same Spirit that sustains your personal prayer life or marriage also sustains and enhances your productivity in the marketplace. If your spiritually cannot be fully express and felt in your political career as a believer, how do bring lasting transformation to complex issues in your constituency? Believers are quick to forget that the whole essence of spirituality is to give them an edge over sensual knowledge.

The word of God says we are the salt of the earth how can we season nations and regions where we do not even believe we have what it takes. What is my point? The wisdom of this world according to James is failing rapidly, it is time believers who are filled with the Spirit of God allow God to position them where they can be of use in offering better solution to the ongoing crisis. This is the beautiful story we read in Act chapter 6. When Stephen and the rest of the disciples where chosen to represent the church regarding the distribution of food, we see the qualification required. That standard has not change, the world is desperately in need of leadership with the quality of the Spirit that can resolve the issues of character deformity in the corridor of government. The Lords administrative capacity can work resolve the challenges before the nations if believers will just let the wisdom of God direct their steps.

Acts 6:3-4

3 Therefore select out from among yourselves, brethren, seven men of good and attested character and repute, full of the [Holy] Spirit and wisdom, whom we may assign to look after this business and duty. 4 But we will continue to devote ourselves steadfastly to prayer and the ministry of the Word. AMP

This kingdom is a living reality growing in the hearts of all who have accepted the call to transit out of Babylon, the system of humanistic philosophy. While we may be in Babylon, we informed never to allow the values and principles of Babylon effect of view and decisions. If there is ever a time where the wisdom of God needs to be display is now. What is happening in earth today is the clash of two system, if you two kingdoms. The life and authority of these kingdoms cannot be seen with the necked eyes but their influences are highly felt across the globe. As the Lord continues to use the issues in Europe and the rest of the world to awake his sleeping Church to her responsibility, we will see a more proactive and strategic church emerge with divine wisdom in leading the nations out of her predicaments. The Lord is using the ongoing challenges to draw the attention of his Church and the nation’s first to his sovereignty, secondly to the principles of his redemptive plan.

The priorities of the heart the father is to see nations restore back to him. He will use whatever means and method to make this clear for all to see. This is the day of the Lords harvest. Whatever we desire to do for the Lord must be seen in this context. Each nation and regions of the earth have their unique role in Gods prophetic activity as he continue to shake the foundation of many generation; therefore, what is happening in one region should not be generalized, rather it should be viewed in the context of the awakening of the spirit of such region to the voice of the Lord. As this continues to happen on a global scale, I will like to remind you that it is already taking place on an individual personal level.

These are days of huge predicament for individual families and businesses. Many will assume the Lord has disserted them because of the impact of the trials they will be facing, especially in the area of marriage and personal finance. The security and philosophy we have embedded will be greatly tested as I have said earlier.

Our values and principles will be challenge from its very root. Everything in our lives that can be shaken will be shaken to its foundation. It is a day to learn how to read the handwriting of the Lord on the walls of our lives, less we become disappointed. The ability to precisely identity and make sense of what is taking place around us is a major advantage, unfortunately, not many of have learned to quiet our soul in times of trouble so we can hear the voice of the Lord. One of the very first lesson prophet Jeremiah learned, as any other prophetic generation is the ability to identify the true meaning of what is sees. If we cannot make sense of the issues in and around our lives, we have no means of direction or solution. Therefore, we should be asking ourselves now is what is, what is the meaning of what is taking place globally? The only person that can give us a clear answer is the Spirit of truth himself.

The scripture says, when he the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth without exception. May the Lord give us the spirit of inquiry in this season. John 16:13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. NIV

Is the church ready to governance?

While the issue of regime change may be prominent on the agenda of what has been dubbed as the ‘Arab Springs’. There is no doubt, that the major challenge in the Western world is the lake of fiscal discipline in the capitalist driven economy. For a long time, the key major problem in Africa has been the complete lack of managerial leadership competence. It is a known fact that Africa is the richest continent in the world, yet, poverty and every other forms of human limitations finds their residence in the region. Her huge resources are continually plundered and wasted dictatorial leaders and the so-called foreign investors.

The context of these enormous regional challenges needs to be made clear to the church, as each part will require unique apostolic skill and insight in dealing with them. Unfortunately, our lopsided understanding regarding matters relating to diplomacy in international relations has indeed limited our level of interaction and collaborating capacity with politics and governance in high places.

Government institutions do not recognize the position of the church in contributing to national and internal development because the church in the past has portrayed herself as a needing organization. Unfortunately, they seem to be right because all we see from church leaders is the accumulating of liabilities with very little assets. The Church still have a long way to go in understanding the purpose of wealth, prosperity and influence regarding nation building and socioeconomic transformation. This form of limitation has made it even more difficult for her to be position at the corridor of political and global interaction yet the church relates to more humans on a daily, weekly and monthly basis than any other government institution on the planet.

There is no doubt politics comes with certain degree of influence and power that if not handle with an excellent spirit, powered by the values of internal government, compromise and corruption are inevitable. However, it is important that we state that the Lord places the church on earth as his representative to engage with all authorities and powers regarding the redemption of man from all forms of corruption. Therefore, the concept of apostolic Christianity seeks to engage the philosophies of man as the offer the best solution to the pressing crisis. David showed us this concept we he faced the same enemy King Saul and his men could not face. Goliath is a type of the present socioeconomic crisis the world is facing, to defeat this spirit, you absolutely need someone with the spiritual quality and character of David.

The Davidic anointing is highly needed in our day for the society to be free from her present treat. The Lord through his sovereign {intervention} plan has always positioned a prophet {seer} to help guide the decision of the king. The job descriptions of these men and women sometimes called the Kings prophets are to help injection values and sound wisdom to the decisions that needs to be made by the king on behalf of his kingdom. These men and women may not be accepted as prophets by religious definition of who a prophet is; however, there influence plays key roles in shaping the outcomes of the decisions made by leaders of their generation. Due to the limited understanding regarding the role of religion and politics, many have allowed the ideology of {church and state} circularism to hinder them from participating in the transforming process of their society.

The condition of bad managerial capacity witnessed in most governments circle across the world are indeed a signpost of the need of well skilled, Spirit filled men and women with character and integrity in the corridors of government.

The world is desperately in need of leaders whose lives have been entrenched in the core values of the fruit of the Spirit. The nature of the fruit of the spirit can only be express fully outside the corridors of the Church organization. Meaning, the life transforming capacity given to the church is best utilize in the midst of the ongoing darkness covering every facet of human existence.

The people of the world are already confused and in desperate need of solution. The present human challenges require the principle of present truth in operation within core structures of government if society is going to witness transformation. Custodians of present truth are those who have embrace the reformational capacity of the present apostolic reformation. God is presently transforming the earth back to its original state and this requires a completely collapse of everything man has ever built in a name of unity. This is why most of the key global institutions seem not to have a clear solution of what is happening. The more they try to fix one problem the next one shows up with an even more complex difficulty.

The division within man’s structure is really showing up in every area of his existence. In deeded a house divided against itself cannot stand. What a day of the speakings of the Lord. It is difficult for the UN to come into agreement on issue of human violation in Syria and other parts of the Arab Spring due to very powerful countries interest. We are also seeing that it is becoming more difficult for the EU to agree on a common solution in dealing with her present financial crisis and the way forward for the block because United Kingdom will not accept the principles and policies offered by the EU. All these are reflections of the inability of fallen man to govern himself.

The response of global institutions regarding the ongoing crisis in the world so far as indeed expose the fragmentation in the ideology of the so-called {UN, EU AU, and Arab league} alliances, and also prove the fragility of human moral structure to save society especially the poorer communities. The fact that government across the globe cannot give their citizens precise definition to what is causing their economy to shutdown with all the stimulus packages, recapitalization and devaluation of very stronger currencies, is causing millions across the globe not just to panic but almost going insane. What could God be saying in all these mess?

Architect of the future part 2

ARCHITECT OF THE FUTURE

Prophetic perspective of current shift in season

Part 2

We end the thought of the first part of this article with this statement: We cannot successfully advance into the future without embracing the pruning nature of the word of the Lord. As part of the required nature of the ascended gifts, the Lord has designed each aspect of the ministry gift to prepare the church for days like this, tragically, very few in the church are truly expose to the governmental building nature of the ascended ministry gifts. The prophetic, which is more of a spirit than words, is design to capture the heart of what the Lord is presently doing, while the apostolic with is creative {wisdom} nature, join force with the Spirit of the prophetic to bring the heart of the Lord in to manifestation. This principle becomes establish on a relational understanding of the power of community among God’s people. The division and the braking of ranks in the Body of Christ are exclusively responsible for the ungodly nature of corruption and rebellion we are witnessing in the society today.

The pathway of Gods wisdom

The church will never be able to come into her day of emergence without first allowing the ministries the Lord has placed within her to complete its work of perfection. A developing church is reflected in his wiliness to allow the various aspect of the Father’s ascended gifts to stream truth into every aspect of his life. By wisdom, a house is build. Wisdom is allowing the nature, character and philosophy of the kingdom of God to coexist within a believer, and at the same time, allow this same grace to be pour into others. What kind of wisdom is building your house, is it the wisdom that is from the earth or the one that coming from throne of the Father? This are the days of the testing of the foundation of the house we claim to have built in the name of the Lord; those who the Father will be using in rebuilding of the ruins of the destruction we are witnessing will those who are mature in the operation of life and light of the Christ. These two natures of the kingdom of God, life and light are the restoring capacity of the last day Church.

The pattern of Solomon’s type of ministry is still speaking loudly to the people of this generation. Solomon showed us the process of nation building through his value system. He first built the house of God, a typology of his personal spiritual life, which gave him the necessary base {resource} and capacity to build his own house, {philosophy} which is a type of lifestyle approved by the Lord, and then he went further to build the nation of Israel. Though Solomon latter violated this powerful principle himself, however, we can use them to chart a course that can lead us to understanding the principle of kingdom priority. This order is highly necessary for the accuracy of God’s desired plan to be express through our live in this last day. Wherever you find the Spirit of wisdom in operation, you find divine protocol, strategy, capacity to build, and advancing the kingdom within any sector of existence. 1 Kings chapter 6 to chapter 7.

The Father, in the Spirit of his wisdom has concealed the future in himself, and only those with this ascended understanding of building, like the ‘Davidic’ Company will be called the to build and repeater the broken bridges of society. God fund in David a heart that is fully align to his blueprint, no wonder the restoration of the last template is capture in his life and spirit of David.

The birth of the Age of kingdoms

The spiritually wise are been summoned to the mountain of the Lord to partake of the discursions of the seasons ahead of the church and the nations. As the present socioeconomic shakeup climax the clash of civilization, in fear, a new order of global culture and identity are been perfected by the ‘New Age order’ in trying to curb future political and socioeconomic threats. This setup will ultimately set the stage for the manifestation of the ‘kingdom Age’. As old alliances collapse, new ones are being form in trying to maintain influence and authority over regions and nations. As we see the ancient spirit of Babylon awake, in fear of economic destabilization, many leaders are already selling the soul of their nations to this false alliance.

The difference this time around will be that the judgment of the Lord will be swifter and strongest. The manifestation of the kingdom of Gods has never been so eminent. The Father is branding his church with the identity of his nature and glory. As he imprints character value system needed as the true template of the Church operation, there will be an emergence of a well-matured generation of believers who will bring his purposes the finish. In other words, as we see the first kingdom man tried to build collapsed due to its selfish agenda, these emerging ‘new age alliance’ will also collapse except they embrace the life and wisdom of God as their source of survival. The kingdoms of this world are becoming the kingdom of our Lord… This is the footing of the last day warfare. It is the battle of two kingdoms struggling for the soul of the nation. Your choice will determine who rules your heart at the end.

As civilization began through the building of kingdoms, the glory of humanistic civilization will start declining through the emergence of the kingdom Age. The kingdom you belong in lifestyle will ultimately determine your future destiny. You cannot pretend to be a follower of Christ while in practice you allegiance is to another kingdom. Here is wisdom; the Lord is forcefully moving his church towards the direction of actualizing his eternal purpose by pruning and refining her for what she about to step into. God’s kingdom will emerge the refined nature of his people.

For the church to exercise the type of authority required for principalities and powers to lose their grip over nations, there has to be a shift from the present position of the church. The issue of the birthing God’s kingdom within the hearts of men will have a direct impact on the present condition of the nations. As the present sign of the times leads the nations to a new opportunity to humble themselves by accepting the wisdom of God, I have no doubt about the nations emerging out of the crisis with victory. However, who refuse to open the gates of their nation to the Spirit of Gods righteousness will face some of the most challenging crisis ever known to man.

Beware of subtle distraction

The saints should be aware by observing the distraction mechanisms the enemy is creating to derail us through the present economic predicament. While God cares strongly about man’s socioeconomic needs, he is seldom in the mess man’s pride and rebellious attitude creates. If we must retain our spiritual edge as saints of the Lord amidst this ongoing global shaken we must learn again to keep our eyes, heart and motive focus on what the Spirit is saying.

Allowing ourselves to be lure from our position on the ramp because of the present economic meltdown is to have accepted the bait of the enemy. These are sacred days where the voice of the Lord is constructing an high way in the Spirit for the advance of the church, yet, it is also a season of unprecedented challenges. The most unreasonable and unsafe thing to do now is to allow the present economic crisis drain your spiritual energy by investing your time in prayer to issues motivated by the fear of the unknown.

The strategy of the enemy is to use challenges, especially socioeconomic ones to try to shift your attention away from what the Spirit of the Lord is saying so that he can defeat you. While it is highly essential, we try to find solution about the economic challenges; our goal is to continue in the journey of the Spirit towards that preferred {mountain} place the Lord has assigned for the sacrifice. Seasons of come and go and we are witnessing events on an accelerated level shaping the ultimate manifestation of the seed of Gods harvest. It will be an understatement to say that the days we in are no ordinary days. The events taking place today speaks volumes of Gods desired counsel in restructuring the landscape of human existence. For those who are wise are already searching for the company of ‘Daniel’, able to read and interpret the handwriting of the Lord on the walls of Babylon. There is no doubt, this is the day of the Lords judgment and nothing will escape this season of the Lord pruning and purifying fire. As the ongoing crisis gets to her pick, the uncompromising church of the Lord his also getting ready for a triumphant entering into the harvest field.

Can American and EU nations read the signs on their walls?

There is no doubt that promoters of humanistic concept of government, in their arrogance and blindness have continued to try to shift the course of Gods prophetic destiny by trying to prevent their people from coming to the knowledge Gods desire for their lives. The policies made in the name of trying to maintain the spirit of secularism has almost driven the society to paganism and the outright worship of Satan. Removing God from national affairs has proven to be a major wrong move but how many are willing to accept this mistake? The promised utopia called ‘the American dream’ has suddenly become a night mire of a sinking economic ship. The economic dreams of many Americans and other parts of Europe seem to fizzling away without remedy. The Lord’s hand of judgment is shaking the very foundation of the world’s Grecian philosophy.

Skeptics may not agree to this statement but when you know that God has a say over every nation and the people who dwells there, you will agree with me. Those who live there life as if there is no God to account to, should be ready for a big surprise! Economic gurus who seem to have the silver bullet in time past are all presently confused people are hoping for some divine intervention. Global economic ship is sinking fast! News of confusion seems to be the only selling news on the media especially when political leaders come on air. Few days ago, the block of EU nations through their finance ministers were able to finalize an agreement on a new bailout package of 3thrilion euro which economic analyst already say is very small in comparison to the degree of damage already done to the global economy.

Fifty percent of Greeks debt will have to be canceled as part of the provisional plan to stabilize global economy. Just before the Europe start breathing a shy of relief, the Greek president announced that his people would finally have the opportunity to have a say on the economic destiny of their nation. He wants to call for a national referendum. This new development seems to be upsetting the initial agreed plan by the EU leaders. Less than two months, the government of president Obama proposed a four hundred billion-incentive package in creating new jobs and revamping of the American economy.

With huge amount of money, being pushed to save the economy one should at least see a glimmer of hope but the opposite seem to be the case. While some may argue, it is still too soon to see positive change. Well, that may be true but the issue is does anyone have an idea of what when wrong to the point where most nations’ economy was almost shutdown.

The principle of God’s economy

James 5:1-6

5:1 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you. NIV

Many in the Body of Christ have allowed the spirit of greed and materialism to lure them into accepting the lopsided capitalist economic philosophy. While the values behind capitalist driven economy may have been design to encourage entrepreneurial society, however, the lack of ethics in balancing its guiding principle has made fewer with the ‘rite of opportunity’ to very rich at the expense of others without opportunity. Many past leaders in the West have used the power of capitalism to control, dominate and manipulate world market in such a way that it has become increasingly difficult for smaller emerging markets to compete.

The principles of equalization and redistribution of global wealth may sound ideal on paper, the truth remains, 80% of global wealth is still control by 20% of the world’s population, which are in the developed world. As long as the system of a nation’s economy enriches few at the expense of others who are equally laboring without the right pay, leaders will never achieve the dream of an economic stabilized society she desperately long for. In a world of injustice, capitalism at its core becomes the ideal economic machinery for politician to rule and control the economic destiny of their citizen.

However powerful a nation’s economy, without the necessary godly value system to check and balance the conscience of its leaders, its wealth will soon amount to nothing in the eyes of its citizens. Honor, respect and dignity, which cannot be value on monetary terms, are byproduct of men of conscience. The restoration of true governance is the answer to the restoration of a lasting and productive economy. Just as most African leaders, plagued by insecurity and fear have used their national wealth to build a fortress around themselves will all have their end as we see in the nation of Libya. Many also in Europe and America will not escape this season of judgment. All forms of hypocrisy will be judge to its very root in this day of the Lord. Economic policy that promotes weakness in the high place

God’s handwriting

1 Cor 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? NIV

While I am not an economist, however, one of the core principles of life teaches us to first find out the root cause of a problem before assuming solution. Could it be that the ideological foundation of western and European economic system is the main problem? Could God be asking western leaders to reconsider the values and ideologies of they call capitalism? Each generation has been known to develop an ‘ideal economic system’ that best promotes the political machinery needed for producing policies and values that best represent the nation. One cannot successfully separate the economy of a nation from the political vision of the nation. Meaning, the kind of political structure governing a nation determines the economic vision and capacity of the land. If the values of the government of a nation are seen to have promoted and reward policies of injustice and abuse across the globe, one should expect such economy to suffer a backlash.

As the world continues to struggle to keep their heads above the waters of a higher cost of living and the greed of these powerful economic institutions, many are across Europe and the rest of the world are intensely searching for answers in the people and places that do not have a lasting solution to the crisis. The solution is not one than can be resolved by economic technocrats since the problem is cause by greed and selfishness. Until the heart of man is fixed, his socioeconomic woes will be difficult to resolve. However, anyone who will turn to the redeeming grace of the Lord by wholeheartedly his promised the wisdom to navigate his or her own crises.

The nature of the prophetic in the nations

Prophet Isaiah lives in a time similar to ours, a time where Israel and its leadership came to a state of moral bankruptcy, idolatry, rebellion and injustice became the national trademark of the people. Yet, amidst this pervasion, the word of the Lord was still fresh and clear to as many willing to listen. The word of the Lord is never scared or scarce to the longing heart for truth. Truth has always been the dividing line between the accepted and the unaccepted, yet, when people are not accurately trained to differentiate these two, deception is inevitable. Gods raises his prophets as the final plumbline in defining before the people what is truth and error, everyone must mature to a day of responding to make the right choice.

Choices might have been made in the past that negatively affected your life; however, you cannot any longer dwell of the past. You need to wake up to what the spirit is saying in this new day so you can make the choice that will correct and at the same time build on Gods eternal destiny for your and the next generation. While the Lord through the mouth of his prophet was pointing out the iniquities of Israel, yet at the same time, he was giving them the answer to correcting those mistakes. Building your life on a foundation establish on the eternal principles of truth will always put your ahead of the challenges of life regardless of its nature.

The truth will always prevail

As the Lord raised prophets in various seasons of Church’s journey towards the place of the birthing national destiny, blind and uninformed men especially in the corridor of power had tried to cripple the movement but those who have embrace the wisdom of God have been known to have escape destruction. God places prophet in the king’s palace to guide him on how to make well-informed decision. God’s men are known to have sight into the future based on their walk with God. The prophetic is not about foretelling the future. It is rather about having the Father’s heart who is presently in the future man desperately long to step into; God’s people are design by default to live in God, who lives in the future, meaning, if your faith is firmly secure in the revelation of the Lord’s abiding presence, you should never be bothered or anxious about your future because the Lord is already there waiting for you.

Eph 1:11-12

11 In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. NIV

The future is clear and certain for those who have developed the spiritual sight to understand how God has structured their lives and the general concept of human existence. The laws and regulations of humanistic philosophy do not deter the divine principle of life. Any society who rejects the laws of the Lord and at the same time promotes rebellion against the values of God shall be brought to ruins. History can testify to this, as we shall see later. It is important that we understand how society has been design to act by carnal human wisdom. The battle of the last days is between Gods desired blueprint for human life versus the established humanistic philosophy been perpetuated in the guise of seeking democratic freedom for all. This battle will continue in the hearts of mortal men until each individual come to a day of acknowledging the power of Gods everlasting truth. Truth is the key to whatever form of bondage or poverty men find themselves.

If you do not know the truth, or should I rather say, if you have not allowed the truth you claim to know process your heart, am afraid, you will not only remain a victim of the what is happening in the society. Blind and bondage are realities manifesting through our economic stators. Truth will prevail in the last day against the lies and deception Satan has sold to earth dwellers. Has the kingdom of God starts appearing from the dawn of this new Age, portals and architect of this new emerging generation must be well position in the wisdom and revelation of what the Spirit wants to achieve without confusion.

The template of the Lord’s prophetic agenda must be clearly crafted again within the thoughts and minds of those who have been sandaled with the mission of rebuilding among the ruins. The failed arrogance and obsolete principles of past generation of men must be exchange for a higher values and law that can enable the spirit of breakthrough to emerge once again in the hearts of men. The days ahead requires individuals with visionary propensity, solidly built on the ethics of integrity, respect, honor and productivity.

These core values will be defining the foundation of social reintegration, sustainability and advancement. As the Lord begins to stir the heart of his portals in charting the pathway of manifesting the knowledge of the glory of his kingdom across the earth, the church of the Lord will needs to shift from her seemly none existence position’ to a more effective and productive role in shaping the destiny of the nations. An upgrade of the revelatory knowledge of God’s prophetic agenda needs to be re-established within the core structure of the church. If she most remains relevant as the Lord’s representative, she must step into scope of her relevancy in this season.

Prophetic perspective on current events

Prophetic perspective of current shift in season

By Isaiah-Phillips Akintola

Proverbs 25:2 “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;

to search out a matter is the glory of kings”. NIV

part 1

A platform for the next frontier

For more than a decade, we have tried to communicate the reality and impact of the shifts in spiritual seasons as they directly influence the activity and behavioral interactions within the society. May I rightly state that all that happened in history and are now taking place in nations are geared towards one objective; the consummation of the purposes of the Father for the redemption of his creation! It is important that this perspective be clear to all believers in the light of the ongoing shift in the global community. The sign of the last days according to bible prophecy is ushering in a new Age where the glorious manifestation of the Fathers original plan for man’s destiny and creation is taking precedence. Man is living in one of the most exciting seasons in human history.

Therefore, wisdom demands that all followers and lovers of truth trim his or her lamp wick as we awake from our slumber in response to the voice of the watchman. This is the day we need to believe God for clear visibility in the Spirit so that we are not deceived by another voice that may be sounding like that of the Lord. As the shaking of nations intensifies, wisdom calls the wise to allow him to reinforce his seven pillars within the structures of their spirit and mind so they are not swept away by the wind of transition raging across the nations. Prov 9:1 Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out its seven pillars. NIV

The days ahead are pregnant with profound prophetic movements that will not only shape how humans will interact but will also accelerate the church’s birth pang. Therefore, we need to take our eyes off the peripherals of soulish distractive activities and start concentrating on the demands of the Spirit for the emergence of the ‘Daniel’s company type of saints who will help give clarity and direction to how to the nations can navigate their complex crisis. Things are usually not the way they seem or sound even when they tend to sound logical. God is putting an end to sensual dependence as his wisdom raises to build the ancient ruins of his nation.

The footing to defining prophetic accuracy of the days we living is to understand the testimony of Christ, which is the Spirit of prophecy, established on solid biblical doctrine. Doctrine is the practice of truth, in consistency to apostolic lifestyle, built on an unshakable foundation of the fruit the Spirit.

Portals of next generation

As we study the lives of men and women who represent this definition of life, we see how the Lord used them as portals to usher into their generation the fragrance of the revelational knowledge of Christ glory. We are given a rare opportunity to learn an important principle on how to offer ourselves to be positioned at the gates of this next move of the Spirit so we can be a voice representing the demand of the Lord as the destiny of nations reaches their twilight. To move forward, we must look and study the ancient pattern, designed for human redemption.

For example, when we study the life of Joseph, the forerunner of the nation of Israel, we see chains of kingdom values lockup in a single life who consistently exhibited a behavioral lifestyle this generation desperately needs. He completely gave up his right for the redemption of a generation about to step into a season of famine. The scripture said of Joseph that he was sent ahead of his brethren to prepare them a place in Egypt. The life of Joseph eliminates our inaccurate understanding of the theology of Christians suffering. In the purposes of God, suffering if you like is only a passage {gateway} to accomplishing divine agenda.

Psalm 105:16-22

• 16 He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
• 17 and he sent a man before them — Joseph, sold as a slave.
• 18 They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
• 19 till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the LORD proved him true.
• 20 The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.
• 21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,
• 22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom. NIV

Moses grew up in Egypt without been intoxicated by the materialistic and oppressive culture of Egypt. The holy seed in him could not be altered, his true origin and identity was preserved through his calling and assignment. Although, he lived in pharaoh’s palace for forty years, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. He chose rather to suffer affliction with his own people than to enjoy the pleasures of Egypt for a season. He learned the language and philosophy of Egypt only to use it for the deliverance of his people at the appointed time. The trials and challenges of Moses in Egypt and the wilderness of Sinai for about eighty years gave a unique {anointing} grace in bringing out a whole generation enslaved for 430 years. The lives of these men are a compass to navigating the present and future crisis. The relevant truth one can glean from these icons indeed enhances our understanding of how the Lord’s deliverance will be made manifest in our time. David is another technology that is relevant to the present emphasis of the Spirit as his leadership challenges speaks directly this generation. Therefore, we cannot be frivolous in our attitude to what the spirit is saying. To examine the present state of our personal lives or the current global events on a mere face value will amount to lack of the knowledge of Gods prophetic agenda for the 21stcentury and beyond.

Signs of the time in manifestation by the Church

When you consider some of these signs already in manifestation especially the ones relating to the body of Christ, which I believe are making huge impact on the believers, one can see the extent in to which man gone in assisting evil to thrive in the earth. As the mystery of iniquity continues to thrive within the hearts of men, the mystery of godliness on the other hand is increasing in its outpouring of grace in an unprecedented way amongst those who have received the mark of the Lamb on the forehead. We as the company of those following the lamb have indeed thrived to adjust and prepare our ‘wineskin’ in order not to become a casualty of the manifestation of the signs of the time. Therefore, we give heed to the warning of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 21:34-36

34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 35 For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” NIV

Isaiah, in his prophetic writings warned the church of a season where gross darkness will eclipse earth {humanity} and ignorance {blindness} will increasely become the template man’s operating system. Men will grope in noonday for lack of sight and understanding to what is happening. When the prophet was giving this prophecy, Israel was in her golden Age. The economy was booming at the expense of injustice and spiritual bankruptcy, the leadership and their followers refused to give heed to the sounding of this prophetic trumpet until Israel was invaded and taken into captivity. Can we confidently say that what is happening in day reechoes the event of four thousand years ago? Well, Solomon made it clear that nothing is new under the sun. Events reoccur because human seldom learn from the past. “It is said that only a full will continue to repeat the same thing over and again and yet expect a different result”. While we have the advantage of looking back at history to learn, however the arrogance of the human heart will seldom allow him to do so. The bible, which is the uncompromising word of God, is the reference book to understanding the past, the present and the future.

To have a clear view of what is happening globally, we sure need not only the scriptures as our key reference material but also allow the Spirit of truth to guide us into making sense of the complexity of our day. Lest we become confuse and misinterpret what the Lord is saying. The place of misinterpreting the word of God, especially in the place of prophetic events has been a huge advantage for the course of satanic activity in the Church and the world at large. As partial blindness befalls the nation of Israel from recognizing and accepting their day of salvation, so is it with this present generation who have allowed the same circle of ignorance to hinder them from seeing the handwriting of God on the walls of society.

The embedded theological and ritualistic template that had shaped the view lens of most people has also blind them to the point where countless number of church people have grown to become so insensitive to the guiding instruction of the Lord concerning the events of the last day. The call to upgrade the ‘structural wineskin’ of the people of God in a way that can adequately endure the shockwave of socioeconomic collapse in the last day unfortunately has been challenge by Pharisees of our day. The scripture told us that as it was in the days of Noah so shall it should be in the days of the coming of the Son of man.

The coming judgment

About ten years ago, the Lord gave us a vision of an approaching judgment that will swipe across the economic system of the world, which will invariably prepare the way for the manifestation of the ‘company of Joseph’. Men with kingdom sight sought for in the marketplace. We declared the mind of the Lord without holding back and those followed and remembered the periods of those prophetic words can bear witness of what is happening today. During the season of those prophetic words, as a church, we began to pray for direction and instruction that will keep us safe in the days of the manifestation of the words. The word of the Lord is clear, before the Lord does anything, he first reveal them to his prophets who are his friend. the wisdom and stability we exhibit in times of crisis are a direct linked to our position of relationship with the Lord. There is no doubt, intimacy with the Spirit of God enhances our ability to see and live outside the seasons of mortal men.

1 Kings 17:2-4

2 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have ordered the ravens to feed you there.” NIV

One of the things the Spirit of the Lord made clear is, our attitude to money and material things must change drastically. While we need money for the exchange of goods and service, we must never allow it to own us; rather, we learn to start giving deliberately towards the advance of the purposes of Gods kingdom. The value of what we own would be ultimately defined by what we do with it. Covetousness is a destructive spirit the Lord presently ridding from among the company of his people. Meaning, whatever the Lord desires to do in the earth, you have the privilege of firsthand information and the understanding to know how to escape.

This concept is display many times in the life of the prophets of God in the scripture. Elijah is a very good example. When he gave Ahab the word that it shall not rain for three and half years in the land at his words, the Lord already had a secured economic plan for him. As long as he sticks to the plan, there was supply. When the brook dried up the prophet was lead to the next face of the Lord provisional plan. The secret of the Lord is with those who fear him. To fear the Lord is not only to reverence him but also to accurately move at the prompting of his voice. To the degree we reverence and sanctify the Lord by pursuing his agenda is to the degree we are able to synchronize with his voice in the development and advancement of our prophetic destiny.

The new wineskin

The mentality we ‘wear’ as the season’s changes play a major role in the development of the spirit of creativity and wisdom in other for us to advance into the next dimension of the Lord’s will. Religion, the lack of precise understanding of the accuracy the timing of the Lord to a large degree has thrived in separating huge numbers of the Body of Christ from seeing and following the pathway of the Lord for their lives. Interpreting the truth, as it related to the challenges of transition and migration requires first the spirit of humility and the ability to totally trust to the direction of voice of the Lord as we spend time praying. When we are hindered from discerning and participating in the process of the Father’s prophetic agenda, as concerning the removal of ‘things’ that are shakable within and around our lives, we become critical and judgment to what the Lord is doing in the lives of other. The making of the new skin demands that we consistently allow the word of God to wash us through the renewing our thought and desire. Our wineskin is both the condition of our spiritman and the thought pattern that govern how we think. Jeremiah 48:11 “Moab has been at ease from his youth; He has settled on his dregs, and has not been emptied from vessel to NKJV

The coming of the Lord manifests two realities; one, the judgment of tree bearing fruits of deception in the earth while the second will be the approval of those eating of the fruit of the three of life. The kings of the earth, who have decided to drink the wine and eat of the delicacies on the table of the ‘harlot’ called the mystery of Babylon, will suffer great lost in this day of the Lord. This spirit, which have become very personification of religious and political compromise is presently being judge as we witness event unfold across the nations. There is no doubt that our Lord is shaking and exposing the foundation of this humanistic ideology.

These are days of great separation! Gods is severing lives and nations from issues that have long time entangled them from entering the scope of their prophetic destiny. Alas, this is not the work of the enemy, as some with religious spirit will think; the Lord is busy cleaning and renovating his house. In seasons of apostolic renovation, people react in different ways. Whichever way you chose to respond to this present global will undoubtedly expose the quality of material you are made of; those whose house are built using wood, hay and straw will undoubtedly suffer great lost.

These separations will be difficult, painful and hard for many who have refused the Lord from pouring their wine from vessel to vessel. The significance of allowing this principle of pouring from vessel to vessel eradicates false character segments that have settled within the core structure of our humanity. For those who have allowed themselves to be poured from vessel to vessel will certainly offer the nations the best of the wine of the Spirit as Jesus did in wedding of the Canaan of Galilee. Then, the prophetic promise will come to past; the best wine has been kept for last. In people of this generation will definitely enjoy the finniest of the wine of the Spirit from men and women who have been refined in God’s distillery plant. Whatever we have allowed humanistic ideology to build within our psychic, preventing us from truly seeing the way of the master are being nuked down to their very root in this moment in time. Strongholds, which have define and defy the destiny of families and communities, are giving way to the preceding governmental authority of God’s kingdom.

Perverted knowledge of prayer and fasting unfortunately will not be able to bail us out this day of the Lord. Remember, this is the working of the Spirit of the Lord and not the devil. In the light of this truth, we are discovering that there are two unprecedented activities simultaneously taking place, which must be clear if we must cross to their next frontier successfully.

These two realities are shaping the future of man’s destiny as the cry of creation intensifies for deliverance. These are defining moments in the history of the church and the nations at large. The first activity, as we see, is the complete removal of every religious and rebellious humanistic order while the latter is the establishing of God’s unshakable kingdom within the core template of value system. The pattern and strategies for interaction and the development in this next generation is being cutout through this season of shaken and separation at the sometime. The knowledge of the glorious is covering the ‘earth of man’ as the water covers the sea.

For those with the eyes to see will indeed agree that God is busy drying the ‘sea of humanistic knowledge while the river of his truth is pouring across the nations unabated. What a day of prophetic fulfillment, “the kingdoms of this world are becoming the kingdom of our God… the Lord is becoming the governor among the nations”, his redemptive power is being proclaim all over. {Psalm 22:28}

God’s interest

The redemption and restoration of creation is a key priority, as the prophetic agenda of the Father makes its grand appearance in Babylon. Awakening the value structure of the society to first see and embrace what the Father has begun to do is not an easy task considering the degree of falsehood already embraced as template of his existence. Nonetheless, the Lord is determined to see his planned agenda come to fruition as the ‘wine of human pleasure’ start drying up according to John chapter 2. This is the third day of the Spirit and the Lord of the harvest has begun to demand the full return of the seed of redemption sown through death and resurrection of Christ over two thousand years ago. As the Lord permits us once again to speak to his church, regarding the next frontier, we have no doubt that those who have the searching heart like the Berea church, will hear the sound of this trumpet and adequately respond according to the Lords divine instruction. These are days of the restoration of all things. Whatever is not in alignment to the divine agenda will become lost to the flood of the Lord’s judgment.

The prophetic and present reality

The days we are in are given birth to unprecedented prophetic activity that is shaking and reshaping the cause of human destiny. The wisdom of man is been tried in the courtroom of God’s judgment and only the mercy of the Lord can prevail in this Day of the Lord. This season needs a new breed of humans matured in the spirit of intercession who can capture the mind of the Father as they supplicate for the redemption of cities and community. As the challenges of the days ahead intensify, only those cultured in the nature of the Spirit of truth will be able to bring direction and solution according to the Father’s prescribes desire. The combination of the fruit and the gift of the Sprit, which defines true footing of maturity, will play a key role in healing and stabilizing the hearts of the nation as the crisis reaches its zenith. The Spirit of wisdom must be embrace afresh in other for the Church of the Lord to remain position.

The revelation of Christ must remain the barometer of interpreting the activity within our spirit amidst the crisis. As many within the church will become disillusion by what will be taking in and around them. The wise set their heart on the things above. Daniel taught us that in days of hardship our window must remain open to the frequency of the speaking of the Lord. The key to stepping into the future lies with the Spirit of wisdom, courage and faith. For those whose wisdom is define by the philosophy of this earth, will certain feel the impact of the shaken in all areas of their lives; they suffer the loss of ‘material things’ though soul will save by fire according to the scripture in 1Cor Chpt3:13. We cannot successfully advance into the future without embracing the pruning nature of the word of the Lord. As part of the required ministry, the Lord has designed the ministry gift to prepare the church for days like this, tragically, very few are truly expose to the governmental building nature of the ascended ministry gifts. The prophetic is design to capture the heart of what the Lord is doing while the apostolic, empowered with creative wisdom is design to establish what the prophets have revealed in regards to the Father’s restorational agenda.
