2013: Prophetic Word to the Church in Nigeria (Part 4 of 4)


JUDGEMENT ON THE UNGODLY

“But it [the wrath of the Lord] shall hail, coming down overpoweringly on the forest [the army of the Assyrians], and the capital city shall be utterly humbled and laid prostrate.” (Isaiah 32:19)

Though the blessing of the Lord is reserved for the sons of the Kingdom, those who align themselves with evil to do evil will know the wrath of God. Can we escape the turbulence and rumour of war? The Lord knows. (Let the heart of the wise consider and take action). Nonetheless, the One who is mighty in battle will fight for His own and for the oppressed of the land. His anger will burn upon those who have delighted themselves in evil and the slain of the sons of men. Besides, the places that are called “secure” will not be spared and the defence of the lofty will be brought low. Pray for the “capital city”, the place where much battle will rage in the coming times. Be assured, those who make the Lord their refuge and trust will only see the reward of the wicked; they shall not partake of their lot.

THE APPOINTED TIME TO SOW

“Happy and fortunate are you who cast your seed upon all waters [when the river overflows its banks; for the seed will sink into the mud and when the waters subside, the plant will spring up; you will find it after many days and reap an abundant harvest], you who safely send forth the ox and the donkey [to range freely].” (Isaiah 32:20)

This is not the time to quit in fear because of the trembling that shall be felt in the earth. It is the time to discern opportunities that match our prophetic destiny. It is time to step out and sow seed in earnest expectation. The journey into the Promised Land is always made when the river overflows its banks. If God’s people will scale through to the other side of their purpose and destiny, they would need to hear the voice of God’s instructions and sow in the place that He commands. That idea, that dream; that vision, that commission; NOW is the time step out in faith - led by the Spirit, empowered by His grace and leaning on the everlasting arms. For when the rising waters subside, the seeds sown will remain in the earth; they will no longer remain a solitary seed, but will come back after many days as an abundant harvest. Those who sow nothing now will reap nothing when the time comes.

This is also a jubilee season for those who bear the burdens of the house of the Lord. They shall “range freely” in their lands and be exceedingly fruitful.

Blessed are those who take these words to heart, ponder upon them and act accordingly.

Amen.

I like your Humility in Christ Jesus in your Final Admonition and how you started the write up in part 1. how we need this attribute of Jesus in churches.

To Jesus be Praise.
