The Year 2011 .’The Year of Great Light ‘is here at last and what a blessing to be alive and accomplishing the purposes of God together! Hallelujah!
Several miracles occurred in our midst up till the close of the last year even till the very last minutes; some were close shaves with death;others were great deliverances from career disasters .
Oh,without a shadow of doubt ,the year 2010 ended on a very good note for many. Although as a nation it introduced a new vista of violence and terrorism but again we look up with hope to God , the Owner of Nations .We beat our chest and brazenly say to the devil ‘is that the best that you can do ? ’.
Our great nation is in a birth pang ; surely we shall deliver safely and bring forth a new Nigeria.
On the global scene , leaders are still dealing with territorial aggressions ,high-handed leadership and threatened democracies .Through it all we shall overcome in Jesus Name!
In this hour we yearn to hear God and not man ; all people want to know what the Spirit of God is saying to His people and if there be any special word of comfort from the Spirit of God for a world in crisis .Oh yes ,our ears are open…
Now here are some of the things that God , the Spirit of the Church is saying:
For 2011,the scriptures that the Lord gave is Ephesians 5:14-17(KJV)
which says:
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
The scriptures above though written to the believers in Ephesus dealt with two categories of people: The ‘Saved’ and the ‘Unsaved’ sinner.
The sinner is one who is dead in trespasses and needs the life of Christ to enter him to come to life. For only the person that has the Son(Jesus) has life! Jn 5:25,26;1 Jn 5:12 which reads:
“For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself.” (John 5:25-26 , NIV)
“He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” (1 John 5:12 , NIV)
The Spiritual Equation for the unsaved is :
‘No Christ-life, no spirit-life .No spirit-life, no spiritual progress .No spiritual progress , no dominion/rulership !’ Surely there is no rest for the wicked!
On the other hand, the believer that is dead is one who has abandoned his priesthood (and as a result lagging behind in wisdom and revelation).Such a one needs the life of Christ to revive him to consciousness so that he can redeem all and recover all lost grounds. The Spiritual Equation for the believer is:
‘No Christ-life, no spirit-life .No spirit-life, no spiritual progress . No spiritual progress , no revelation and wisdom for dominion/rulership !’
The Books of Gen.1: 1-3 ; John 1:1-5 make this principle so vivid! They showed right from the beginning of human existence that :
1. Light is key to effective dominion and rulership . No King can rule or govern without the Oracle (Light)! True governmental/dominion life without priesthood life is at best a mirage!
The Equation then is :
INFORMATION+ REVELATION = TRANSFORMATION
In order words , INFORMATION - REVELATION= PERSPIRATION(and perspiration makes one stink)
2. Light comes only through a Greater Light. The Moon gets its light from another light , the Sun. Darkness can never produce light nor can it overcome it !Jn 1:1-5.
3. Progress is the grand-child of Life, Life is the father of Light. Life gave birth to Light which is the Father of Revelation. So Progress is the grand-child of Life.
Right from the book of Genesis (Gen.1:1-3), when darkness and confusion held earth in bondage ,we saw:
a. The Spirit life( hovering over the earth’s surface) then
b. The spoken Word , (“let there be Light!”) then
c. Light (which stands for ‘revelation’) then
d. Transformation of the landscape.(into vegetations,livestocks,etc)
Light (Revelation) always comes before Transformation (Progress/Success)
In the light of these, we hereby declare that the Year 2011 shall be:
- A Year of Actionable faith and Divine Acceleration in Jesus Name!
- A Year of Great Speed for you in Jesus name! When you will gather speed in all you do and travel in the speed of light!
- It shall be a year of sweat less work in Jesus Name! A year in which you shall work but you will reap greater profit than the work you did.
It shall be:
- A Year of Exceeding abundant in Jesus Name!.
- A Year of the supernatural intervention as Christ gives you light in Jesus Name! .
- A Year to enter the labour of others in Jesus name!
- A Year to fly without wings in Jesus name!
- A Year of the Eagles’ wings in Jesus name!! You shall fly high but with the supernatural grace of God above all peoples and above all circumstances in Jesus name!
I hear in the Spirit the following words , who are these flying without wings? !
Enjoy your ride on the wing of grace!
May Christ shine on you and cause you to operate with divine speed in all that you do this year in Jesus Name! Amen.
