QUEEN JEZEBEL

HER NAME : Where is the Prince ( Baal)? JOY :  Jezebel realised her evil ambitions by killing Elijah's Prophets and initiated her subjects into idolatory. SORROW : Her arrogance and twisted heart brought her disgrace. STORY IN SHORT: Jezebel was a daughter of Ethbaal, the King of Sidon and the priest of the god, baal. She was also the wife of King Ahab. Jezebel reigned as Queen over part of Israel, 100years after David's death but 60years after the death of Solomon. Like her father, Jezebel would force all, including the Israelites into idol worship for she believed baal was the one causing the rains to pour. She did not only initiate her subjects into idolatry and witchcraft - spirits that dominated the princess herself, but also killed all of God's Prophets except Elijah. One day, Elijah summoned Jezebel's 850 false Prophets for a match to find out if baal had the supremacy over God. But Elijah won as he successfully called down fire from God to consume the sacrificia...

THE LORD'S ROD !

  " And there shall come forth a ROD out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:" Isaiah 11:1 The ROD, Prophet Isaiah mentions in our opening verse, actually refers the Lord Jesus - The LIVING WORD. And if God could carry out strange acts with the rod in Moses' palms, He can equally perform Mighty MIRACLES in our lives with His WORD in our mouths. We all can recount the several miracles Moses' rod performed in the eyes of Pharaoh, that scared him into letting the Israelites go from Egypt. It was this same rod God asked Moses to lift over the red sea for a way out. And when there was a need for a drinking water, Moses would still hit the rock with this rod. No wonder ! He says, " ..... take this ROD in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs." Ezodus 4:17 KJV. Now, this rod is no longer physical; it's the Living Word of God in our Spirits. We hold this rod in our palms by constantly meditating upon the WORD of GOD, keeping them e...

MIRIAM - HER LIFE STORY !

  NAME MEANING : Bitterness. HER FEAT:  She played a key role in helping preserving Moses whom God used later to deliver the Israelites from Egypt. HER REGRET  : Miriam,with all her help in preserving the life of her brother, could not enter the promised land as she for her arrogance and insurbordination. HER STORY IN BRIEF : Miriam was the only daughter among Moses and Aeron. She would comport herself when her mum, Jechrobet, hid the baby Moses from Pharaoh and his executioning team for three months. When Moses was finally taken to the river Nile and hidden in a basket by her mum, Miriam would stay a little longer than her mum did, keeping her eyes on the basket to see if anyone would reach out for it. Fourty years later, God faithfully preserved Moses and brought the Israelites - including Miriam and Aeron, out of Egypt by him - Moses. After they successfully crossed the red sea, Miriam led in the celebration of that feat. But Miriam and Aeron later stood again...

MARKS OF GOD-APPOINTED PROPHET !

  After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of hisexcellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. JOB 37:4 our opening scripture establishes that God's genuine Prophet has no gentility when he delivers from the heart of His father. He doesn't only act strangely, but also behaves exactly like a lion while delivering, in verbatim, the message of the Lord. Identified in the content below are some more attributes of a true prophet: ROAREY The Prophet of God, as shown in our opening verse, is not a timid housefly but a voiceferous aggressive lion, whose voice appears to be taking off that roof from the building top, and shakes the ground under your feet. The tone and speed of his voice remain the same whether he is casting out demons, disclosing a secret matter or giving guidance. STRONG As a lion, the Prophet operates in divine strength. He is neither down in His body nor in the Spirit. He ably prays , fasts and ministers for several hours without feel...

DEATH BEFORE LIFE !



“The Lord kills and gives life…” 
1 Samuel 2:6.


Smith Wigglesworth once said he had his healing Power from God after his heart was first broken ( he lost his wife ). Another servant said just after God told him through a Prophet that he would get a better job, he first got fired from his own job. Clearly, God’s way for His followers is different but higher – He first kills before He brings back to life ! 


A Man of God whose church now is one of the most expanded ones in Africa, once said His church rather took a disgraceful downturn initially when he started making mouthwatering sacrifices unto God. One other servant narrated how that his relation suffered from a crush just after he arrived from a mission for God, even with His material sacrifices – God kills and makes alive !


Before a more glorious end, Job lost his properties and children. Joseph was betrayed and disappointed a few times before arriving in the palace. How about The Lord Jesus? Preceding His death, resurrection and eternal reign, were Judas’ betrayal and Peter’s denial. Indeed, we die to live !


” My son, give me thine heart…” Proverbs 23:26. And if the man He’s committed to using would still not willfully do so (even continually), He often allows this man into a state of brokenness so He may have more of Him. This way, The Lord kills in order to bring back to life !
Brokenness of Spirit is just a way by which God attunes or focuses our attention on Himself. Discussed below is a couple more ways by which we effectualise our brokenness before He finally resurrects us back to life.

PRAYING AND FASTING

Making the body a living sacrifice unto God requires that we constantly fast. It’s a way of letting God increase in us while we decrease ourselves, like John said. Only then are we infused with POWER for greater exploits. Fasting also divinely enables us to overcome temptations as we die to self but come alive to God and His WILL. 
( Romans 12:1 & John 3:30 )

GIVING

God wants us to give Him our hearts. Yet, a man’s heart belongs where his treasures are. Obviously, this is one main importance of the various givings we do to The Lord. These seeds are not only multiplied back unto us, but they also serve as ransoms for our lives in times of troubles. 
( Mathew 6:21, Proverbs 13:8 )

Beloved, it does not always mean you did anything wrong – those downturns, losses, bad breaks, betrayals and disappointments, are all forms of death. But now, The Lord says, “ I will open your graves and bring you up again…” Ezekiel 37:13. “ Indeed, we die to live !
