Bible says, “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be es- tablished on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.” (Isaiah 2:2)
By Michael Adekoya – Dear Reader, I shared with you in the first part of this message that we serve the only and true God of time and seasons and He makes all things beautiful in its time (Eccl. 3:11). It’s a blatant true! It’s our understanding of the time and the season in which we live now and knowing what to do, like the Sons of Issachar, as recorded in 1 Chronicles 12:32, that will put us in command of the beauty of the season we just entered in this year. As a Church – children and family of God – we are now in our glori- ous seasons. It has started!
In one of His discussions with the Pharisees (those who have eyes but can’t see far), Jesus challenged these religious people on the issue of knowing the signs of the times. He said, “You know how to discern the signs in the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times” (Matt. 16:1-3). Here, Jesus was talking about the fact that people can foretell the kind of weather for tomorrow by looking at visible sky but cannot see into the spirit realms. Therefore they are completely out of tune with the great spiritual events of their time. My friend, listen! That of course, could well be expected from people who do not know the Lord, but it should never be the case with the Church, the Body of Christ. It is therefore crucial that the Church – you, me and every Christian – must have a clear and unblurred focus, divine eyesight and discernment today. Only a clear prophetic vision will provide us with direction, decision and determination in our work for the Kingdom of God in this glorious season. If our eye is single (not double vision), our body will be full of light (Matt. 6:22)
You will agree with me that the world is getting darker. There are crises everywhere due to this Covid-19 pandemic – in many families, in the church, in global finance, in governments, in employment, the list goes on. People, both in the world and in governments, are fearful, confused and perplexed as they face problems, challenges and circumstances for which there are no natural solutions. And, the elect who are not planted and grounded well in the Word of God are now compromising, backsliding or bolting out. This is not the will of God for us in these latter days! Prophet Isaiah prophesied that, “it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it” (Isa. 2:2).
My friend, I may not know what you have gone through or the challenge you are facing today but one thing I know is that the above Scripture is announcing the definite emergence of the exalted Church, one that will be enthroned with authority, beauty and glory. And that includes you and me! My friend, may I say this! Heaven have started releasing the Church – children of the Most High God – into the fullness of her redemptive colour. God is now raising men and women, including youths of supernatural authority in the Church with assignments to communities, cities, villages, governments and to the market places. They are men and women of dominion who will command the attention of nations. Listen! You can’t afford to be left out in what God is doing today. We have crossed over to glorious days of the Church. God is going to manifest Himself in an unprecedented way. It’s time for the awakening the world has never seen before. The Church of Jesus Christ is coming on a power and authority frequency, into the realms of purity, prayer, power, perfect praise, beauty, glory, honour, distinction and supernatural that will herald Jesus return. We’re living in the days of the dominion of the saints of God, endowed with the supernatural ability to confront oppositions with confidence.
My friend, I see you as part of this end-time God’s Army. Isaiah saw into the season we are now living in and prophesied the emergence of a great and strong Army right from the midst of the gloominess and darkness which the world is in today. My friend, God is now raising up His Army – believers designed to enjoy strange affluence, inexplicable abundance, endued with power and authority and command overflow wealth to take the Gospel to every part of the world. They will be men and women of unquestionable dominion. You are part of this Army of God! Outside the camp of the end-time God’s Army will be great sufferings and afflictions. While there are salary cuts and labour losses around them, wealth and riches will be in their houses. They will live their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures because they are people who obey God completely. Nations will identify and respect them as they will be modern day Elijahs ordained to decide the destinies of nations (1 Kings 17:11).
The darkness around is what will make their distinction remarkable as lights of the world. Speaking about the end-time church – about you, me and believers of Jesus Christ, the Bible says, “Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion (from the Church), the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples.” (Isa 2:3-4). Did you hear that? The law, which connotes authority, will go out from the Church. That means the Church will become the ruling authority on the earth, either in commerce, government, industries, finance, merchandise, evangelism or in every profession. My friend, authority for every field of human endeavour will proceed from the Church. We are in that glorious season!
My friend, hear me. Industries, governments, communities, even nations will call to seek your help as from this year. Listen! You are one of the Joseph’s, Daniel’s, Nehemiah’s, Elijah’s, Esther’s and Deborah’s generation. You are one of the City Changers, Pace Setters, Solution Bearing Agents that God has on this earth today. You have crossed over to your glorious season. Anywhere the sole of your foot step upon, the Lord will give it unto you. Anything you lay your hands upon shall prosper. Jesus says, “He that believes on Me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater shall he do.” (John 14:12).
Did you hear that? My friend, you are born and saved for dignity, prominience and for exploits. Your hour, time and season has come to shine! Accept the season you are, join the spiritual wagon and do greater exploits for your God. You have been resourced, equipped and prepared for a time as this, walk in it with confidence and boldness in your God who has called you. Remain blessed!
