2021- A Season of Distinction

 According to the international system of examination grading, a distinction refers to an extraordinary pass.

  Having a distinction means passing an examination with impressive uniqueness.

 In addition, a distinction is described as an achievement or rather an accomplishment that cannot be done.

 As if that is not enough, a distinction is an achievement and an accomplishment that many can't do.

 In so much to say, a distinction is when one enters into an examination room with excellent, and exceptional skills.

 And then eventually coming out of the examination room with everyone amazed and mesmerized by the individual's impressive uniqueness.

 2020 was a season where we experienced a special encounter with God Almighty.

 However 2021 is going to be a season for God to make a difference but more importantly it's going to be a season and a period of God making a distinction in our lives.

 God has anointed you with a special oil for you to be able to function with distinction in 2021.

 And since a distinction is an achievement that cannot be done or some cannot do then it's going to take the exceptional and excellent skill and capacity of God's oil on your life to deploy its impressive uniqueness in your life.

 And once your impressive uniqueness is put on display for the whole world to see then God Almighty will be praised and Glorified cause God alone deserves the praise, the glory and the Honor.

 The oil of God for the life of you is too impressively unique and too good to be kept only for yourself and for your own good.

 It has got to be shared so that the world will come to taste of the goodness of the Lord that has been kept and stored secretly in your belly.

 Every move that you make in 2021 is going to be excellent and exceptionally skillful in manner, matter, and in method so as to leave everyone in 2021 impressed with your uniqueness.

 You going to be so impressively unique in 2021 that everyone will be amazed by your excellent and exceptional skills (as much as your anthropology).

 This is crucial because the (anthropology) nature of one's physical capacity and character straits embody the skill set of any given individual.

 In 2021 am going (God) to cause for there to be an achievement that cannot be done.

 In other wards, if 2021 is going to be a season of distinction then I have anointed you to achieve what cannot be done.

 With much more emphasis, I have given you the oil that enables you to achieve, and to accomplish what many can't achieve because it cannot be achieved by many.

 However you going to achieve that which cannot be achieved because of the exceptional, and excellent divine oil of God that makes you an impressive uniqueness in the season of 2021.

 The impressive uniqueness of your life is going to be as a result of the oil of God that has been secretly laying in your belly, ever since time immemorial but in the season of 2021 that oil is going to be made manifest.

 Without a doubt 2021 is a season with an occurrence that details an achievement that cannot be done.

 Conversely, 2021 is a season with occurrences stipulating achievements that some cannot do.

 Before 2021 everything about your life and for the life of you seemed similar to the pack but in 2021 God will draw a line of division and separation in your status quo, and you will be different from the pack.

 Furthermore once the line of division has been drawn in the status quo positions will change, assignments will be altered, appointments will be cancelled and the anointing of leadership will be decommissioned from one person so that another person with no leadership background can be commissioned.

 Beginning from Exodus 8:23 - throughout Exodus 9-10:7 and even Exodus 14, God embarks on performing acts of distinction between Egypt and Israel.

 In totality all the acts of distinction performed by God before the pharaoh were 7 in number while the Hebrew people were still in Egypt, and 2 more outside the land of Egyptians.

 The number 7 symbolizes and signifies perfection, completion, or rather the end, and the accomplishment of a given task.

 For the Pharaoh to release the Israelite out of  Egypt's bondage God had to accomplish 7 unprecedented tasks or acts of distinction so as to prove to the pharaoh that there was no one on the Earth like the LORD God of Israel and the Hebrews.

 The mystery behind the hardening of the pharaoh's heart so as to repeatedly hold back the Hebrews or the nation of Israel was a divine orchestration by God to set up the Pharaoh into provoking God in order for God to respond with 7 acts of distinction against the Pharaoh.

 Whom God (Exodus 9:1-16) raised up for the purpose of showing off his power, and that God's name might be proclaimed in all the earth.

 Conversely, (Exodus 10:1-2) God hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and the hearts of his officials, so as to perform these signs (acts of distinction) among them that the Israelite may tell their children, and grandchildren how God dealt harshly with the Egyptians, and how God performed acts of distinction (signs) among them, and that they may know that God is the Lord.

 As a result of the fact that 2021 is a season of distinction, God is going to perform acts of distinction, and eventually make a distinction between the oppressor and the oppressed.

 These acts of distinction will bring damage, and turmoil to the oppressor but safety to the oppressed.

 The acts of distinction by God in the season of 2021 will weaken the oppressor and strengthen the oppressed.

 The hardness of the heart by the oppressor will provide a stage, and a platform for God to perform acts of distinction so that both the oppressor, and the oppressed may come to know, and appreciate that there is no one like the Lord God on the Earth.

 Plus acknowledging that the Lord God hates oppression and conspires against the oppressor to bring his reign of tyranny to an end.

 Since the Pharaoh had exceeded his human capacity by calling himself God over the earth.

 God also had to respond with exceedingly tough acts of distinction in order to prove to all the citizens of the earth that He alone is the God of the Earth.

 For the very purpose of emphasis, 2021 is the season where God will perform acts of distinction hence drawing a line of division and bringing about a great separation in the status quo that will see to it that the oppressor will no more oppress the oppressed.

 The marginalized will come into an official, and a recognizable alignment.

 The anointing of God will be re-commissioned consequently ensuring a change in wealth, position, possibilities, and assignments.

 The identity for the life of you will become an impressive uniqueness.

 Undoubtedly the line of division in the status quo will bring about safety for poor and calamity for the oppressor.

 Throughout the course of his leadership the pharaoh of Egypt posited himself as the most powerful man on the Earth.

 However in performing the 7 acts of distinction before Pharaoh, God not only liberated the oppressed from the oppressor.

  But his intention was to also subdue the Pharaoh of Egypt.

  In a grand attempt to prove to the Earth there may not be anyone on the Earth like the pharaoh of Egypt, but God is much more than the pharaoh of Egypt in both might, and power.

 And that God can do what nobody on the Earth cannot do.

 In the season of 2021 God is going to subdue everything that has oppressed you by doing for you something that you cannot do on your own.

 Whatever God is going to do for you in 2021 will seem as if it's you who is doing it, and the whole world will be uniquely impressed by the oil of God upon your life.

 In the event of the 7 acts of distinction, God drew a line of separation and division between the Hebrews (oppressed) and the Egyptians (oppressors). 

 And hence as a result the Hebrews gained their freedom, and safety while the Egyptians were destroyed.

 God made provision for Hebrews (oppressed) in the place where he denied provision for the Egyptians (oppressor).

 This impressive uniqueness is underscored by the opening of the sea of reeds so that the Hebrews (oppressed) may have passage.

 And the closing of the sea of reeds led to the destruction of the Egyptians (oppressor).

 The provision of easy passage amidst the sea of reeds signified, and indicated the favor of the Lord God functioning among the Hebrews.

 While the closing of the sea of reeds leading up to the perishing of the Egyptians amidst the sea of reeds signified the wrath of God that the Egyptians well deserved to experience.

 Consequently in 2021 God is going to perform 7 acts of distinction that will draw a line of separation between the oppressed and the oppressor.

 This division will see to it that the oppressed are safe while the oppressor is destroyed.

 This division will see to it that the oppressed gain provision from God while the oppressor will experience the wrath of God.

 The last, and final act of distinction that God performed in Egypt against the Pharaoh was the act of killing all the first born male children in the land of Egypt from the Highest Egyptian to the lowest Egyptians.

 The first born male child represents the reputation, the inheritance, and the legacy of a man.

 Thus in killing the first born male child all throughout the land of Egypt, God was indeed , and in fact destroying, and putting an end to the legacy, and reputation as much as the inheritance of the Pharaoh, and all of Egypt plus it's people.

 On the other hand, while God was putting an end to the reputation, legacy, and inheritance of which was tyrannical in nature, the Hebrew were having their inheritance, legacy, and reputation boosted, and preserved to a level beyond human comprehension.

 In 2021 God will create a difference, and a distinction in the state of your reputation, legacy and inheritance.

 The reputation for the life of you will proceed you everywhere that you go.

 The legacy as created by your exceptional and excellent work will go before you, and introduce itself before strangers.

 The inheritance for the life of you will be enriched, and highly profiled with possessions of gold standard.

 Much like the Hebrews walked out of the bondage of Egypt with a better, and an awe-striking reputation, a marvelous, and admirable legacy as well as a wealthy inheritance measured by Gold standard.

 Without a doubt the final onslaught by God against the Pharaoh while the Hebrew were still in Egypt was the act of distinction that saw the Pharaoh lose everything that he ever gained from oppressing the Hebrews.

 In 2021 God will cause you to get wealth that will makes others that got wealthy before you feel at loss and remorseful for having never treated you better when you was scratching at the bottom of the bellow.

 There those who ignored you, and disrespected you before 2021.

 But once they see you again in 2021 the admiration they will have for you will be overtaken by the embarrassment of having not respected, and given you the attention you so deserved before God made a distinction and a difference in your life.

 The oppressor of your life, and your nation has gotten his heart hardened, and hence his response is so stubborn to let the people be free even when he fully understands that people are tired of him.

 However it is a divine setup for the oppressor to destroy his own legacy, reputation and inheritance.

 And the more stubborn he becomes the more self-destructive he becomes, and the weaker he becomes, and the stronger the oppressed become in order to wipe him out so that they can be free.

 When the Hebrew were let go by the Pharaoh and led out of Egypt by Moses, God performed the 8th wonder outside of the land of Egypt to add to the 7 wonders or acts of distinction performed in Egypt prior departure.

 The 8th act of distinction / wonder was when the Egyptians led by  

Pharaoh attempted to run after the Hebrews to destroy them.

 And God brought about a difference in the two camps such that while it was day light in the camp of the Hebrews it was darkness in the camp of the Egyptians.

 For that reason poor decision making ensued in the Egyptians camp cause darkness overshadowed their minds.

In 2021 God will illuminate your understanding and mindset so that your decision making skills will be excellent and exceptional.

While having an upper hand in every move you make against that of everything that ever oppressed you and stood against you.

 The 9th act of distinction/ wonder was executed when God divided the Red sea otherwise known as the sea of reeds.

The aforementioned act of distinction was pivotal in the sense that the sea of reeds was divided by God and provided passage for the Hebrews into safety.

However the same sea of reeds was closed up for the Egyptians once the Egyptians made an attempt to access the same passage and eventually the Egyptians were destroyed in the sea of reeds.

In 2021 God will make a way for you where there has never been a way and God will make unprecedented provision for you.

And that way will lead you to a place of safety where you will never see your oppressors ever again. 

Much akin to how the Hebrews crossed the sea of reeds and after crossing the sea of reeds they never saw the Egyptians ever again because they perished in the passage that God only permitted his righteous and chosen ones to go through.

The tormentors of your life you will see no more.

2020 was the last time you ever saw your tormentors. 

God is bringing a sudden end to the legacy, reputation and inheritance of the oppressor in 2021.

 Everything and everyone that ever tormented, harassed and oppressed you ever since time immemorial will suddenly lose its power over you in 2021.

 The oppressed and the tormented will wear a crown of victory, Glory and honor in 2021.

 While shame and condemnation will forever be the reputation of the oppressors of your life.

 

A Divine Agreement

 Genesis 1:1-3

Number 23:19

2 Corinthians 1:20

1 Samuel 15:22

The Heavens are a spiritual existence as much as the Earth is a physical existence.

There was never a connection between the Heavens and the Earth however when God wanted to establish a connection between the Heavens and the Earth his spirit hovered over the face of the Earth so as to prepare the Earth for a divine instruction.

This is imperative because whenever God sets out to have a connection with any given physical existence, he commissions his spirit to prepare the subject for instruction.

The instruction of God is the orientation for a divine agreement with God.

After hovering over the face of the Earth for a while the spirit of God which is also closely related to the wind of God conveyed an instruction from God which stipulated,” Let there be Light”.

The wind is a medium of communication and a mechanism of conveying messages articulately.

The wind is a transmitter of sound that can be translated into words that carry a message to a specific target group.

God uses his wind which is also his breath as well as his spirit to carry forth his message to whoever God desires to communicate to.

Light and darkness are not collaborators.

Whenever the light appears then darkness disappears.

Thus the moment God declared and instructed, “Let there be Light”, the darkness that filled the earth disappeared.

It’s here and now that we have got to comprehend that the agreement between the Heavens and the Earth was established and brought into force immediately after the light was introduced in an Earth that was hitherto full of Darkness.

And this agreement was termed as ‘The Light Agreement’.

This so because God desired to relate with the Earth but he would not do because the Earth was full of Darkness.

Darkness and light don’t mix in as much as God does not mix with the devil.

For there to be a relationship between the Heavens and the Earth God had to first establish the Light Agreement.

In this agreement the responsibility of the Earth was to follow the light and never to submit under the authority of Darkness.

While the responsibility of the Heavens was to make provision of that light.

Agreements in any given relationship are pivotal because they reinforce accountability and responsibility.

Relationships without any form of agreement are void of accountability and responsibility.

God created man as a divine breath in representation of the marvelous and wonderful capacity of God upon the face of the Earth.

However in order for the man to be fully able to represent the marvelous and wonderful capacity of God upon the face of the Earth, man and God must be in a relationship.

A relationship that is bound by a divine agreement.

Where God is accountable and responsible for man as much as man is responsible and accountable to the things of God.

The relationship between God and man bound by divine agreement or rather by covenant starts out when man seeks after God.

In seeking and in seeking after God, many times than not Man stumbles upon an instruction from God.

However if man does not stumble upon an instruction from God he then receives an instruction from God through the Holy Spirit.

Whenever man fulfills God’s divine instruction then God responds with a divine promise and thereafter a divine agreement is established between God and man.

The divine agreement between God and man becomes the very basis for man’s relationship with God.

As long as Man is in a divine relationship with God then God will ensure divine favor, protection, and provision towards the man.

The validity of God’s relationship with mankind is determined by a divine agreement which agreement is made up of man’s obedience to God and God’s promises to mankind.

The very reason why obedience is better than sacrifice is based on the fact that obedience to God attracts the promises of God.

And all the promises of God are yes and amen.

No promises from God towards mankind can go without being fulfilled.

God is not a man that he may lie because God is the truth itself

The Irony of Survival

Matthew 3:17 Luke 6:38

 In the event of gaining any amount of significant portions designed to treat to any given individual’s survival; loose becomes inevitable. 

 To state it in simpler terms we will have to grasp and comprehend that in order for one to gain; someone has to lose .

There is no such thing as gaining without loosing.

 Indeed and in fact loosing is the bedrock of gaining.

 However if we are to cast loosing in a positive light then we will have to relate to lose as a significant experience of sacrifice that ought to be undertaken in order for one to become successful in any given area of life. 

 Whatever you have lost prior to this point in your life should from henceforth be considered as a sacrifice that was necessary for your survival and eventual well doing and being. 

 The mental status for the life of you would not be so balanced if at all you did not loose some of the people who either walked out of your life or those that you simply decided to give up on.

 Had you not given up on them or had they not walked out of your life chances are that you would have been a nut-case as of now. 

 The depression that would have been born out of the experience of relating with a people who have no value for other human beings besides themselves would have been so detrimental if not suicidal.

 However you lost those kind of people but this was not a mere loose, it was a necessary sacrifice on your part aimed at ensuring that your own mental health is well protected.

 In the quest for human survival loosing and making vital sacrifices is only but a strategic move that can place us and position at at a vantage point in as far as moving forward happily is concerned. 

 In the event of trying to preserve his tangible glory and honor God sacrificed and lost his begotten and beloved son to the imperfections of an earthly life so as to sustain his plan and initial motive upon the face of the earth.

 When Jesus lost and sacrificed his life briefly to the domain of death the great sacrifice translated into the salvation of mankind even though it’s really ironic. 

 It’s such a grandiose irony because in order for me to gain anything of significance then I have got to lose something equally significant.

 Jesus Christ shade his blood on the cross over upon the hill of Calvary and eventually he breathed his last; however it’s the same blood that he lost which translated into a vital sacrifice for us the sinners of the earth ready for a divine death sentence to be saved by the same blood that was lost by Jesus Christ.

 Give and it has be given back to you in double measure the divine scripture labors to elaborate but many times than not giving posits you in a place where the law of reciprocity is effectively designed to play out in your life.

 Without strategic lose and sacrifice in your life it’s not in error to mention that one’s survival will only be left out to perchance.

 This is important to emphasis  because whenever you loose something you gain something in return and whatever you gain in return is always better than what you lost prior. 

 In addition most of the losses we suffer are not in actuality loses but rather sacrifices that we make in order to gain more durable returns.

THY WILL BE DONE

Luke 22:46
Matthew 26:42


In the Garden of Gethsemane (where the events of Luke 22:46 & Matthew 26:42 play out) we meet Jesus in a form that's far be it from the form where he cast out demons and healed the sick.

We meet a Jesus that is in distress and near the point of depression.

The tension and pressure that is at the center of his life while in the Garden of Gethsemane is premised on the fact that he understands the time of his suffering is at hand.

He seems to be pondering the possibility of escaping the coming suffering of his life but yet still he fully understands that it's the will of God for him to suffer.

Because if there is going to be any form of great glory unbeknownst then that level of unprecedented glory is going to emerge out of the great suffering that Jesus very much would love to escape even though they is no escape route for him.

This is the very reason he came on the face of the Earth: and that is to suffer.

so that out of his great suffering may arise great salvation.

He is praying and pondering if the cup of suffering should pass away(Luke 22:46- "Father if it be thy will let this cup pass away .....") but then on the other extreme he fully understands that it's the will of God for him to suffer.

The word Gethsemane translates to mean "a pressing place".

It's called a pressing place because this was where the olives would be pressed inorder to produce oil.

Oil was never produced until it was exposed to a distressing and depressing impact for certain amounts of Time.

They is some capacity and potentials that will never come out of your life until you battle with distress and depression and come out alive.

According to the great philosopher by the names of Rolla may," distress is the premise upon which creativity thrives.

As much as the ground for great innovation".

Presently the entire world is going through a depression and a distress due to a pandemic ensuing at a level that is unprecedented.

Uncertain is the air that is being breathed in the course of this great pandemic of modern times.

No body seems to understand what tomorrow will bring.

However we need to quickly accept that at the back of this pandemic God is doing a great work.

A work that will leave the world in a different shape and in another form.

It's distressing and depressing but it's the will of God.

And if we can fully embrace the will of God for the hour and the season then shall the world be quickly delivered from depression and distress.

In Matthew 26:42 Jesus prayed the second time and said," My Father , if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, let thy will be done,"

The moment Jesus declared," let thy will be done"; then did he got the character and the strength to endure and eveñtually overcome the suffering of the cross.

On the 18th of may 2020 during a conversation with his son, Mr. Vegas( renowned dance hall Deejay) was asked by his son- charter," When will corona virus go away?"

Surprised but not shocked Mr. Vegas responded to his son- charter that he should pose the question to God instead.

In grandiose style and child- like confidence charter asked God," when will corona virus go away"?

In utter dismay to Charter; God's response was total silence.

For the second time charter asked God," when will corona virus go away so that I can kick it at the beach again?

And yet still God's response to Charter was total silence.

This was not the first time God gives a silence response to a given probe.

Because even in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus asked three separate times ,"Father if it be thy will let this cup (of suffering) pass away "and God responded with total silence towards his very own son Jesus.

Even though in Luke 22-43 it's recorded that an angle appeared from heaven to equip Jesus with the endurance to bear the cup of suffering that was to emerge from the experience crucifixion.

The response of total silence to any given probe denotes that God is carrying out his will and when he is done executing his will then the probing one will get an answer when he gets it.

In the course of doing his will upon the face of the Earth the full scope of his operation does not come to human understanding till God is done achieving his will.

Much akin to a painter who does not respond to the question of what is it that he is painting because the painter understands that people will get to know what he is painting at the end of the full picture.

When will corona virus go away?

Corona virus will go away when it goes away.

The specifics and the details in relationship to the day and time that God will achieve his will upon the face of the Earth lay in the end of the task.

In addition, the silence of God is a simple divine call from God towards man to endure the immutable will of God upon the face of the Earth.

The Divine silence of God is a premise and a platform for building endurance and patience as we wait for an answer from God amidst him executing his will upon the face of God.

When will the will of God be done?

The will of God will be done when it will be done.

The emphasis by God is never on the time and day when it will all come to an end but rather the emphasis is on the execution of the task.

The timeline of the task is of less importance but rather the significance is laid on the task and it's purpose by the very nature of God.

By the cheer lack of knowledge and understanding in regards to the will of God (desire of God) upon the face of the Earth men focus on the timeline.

This is so because once the desire of God has been set in motion it sort of holds the desire of men at Bay.

Why is the desire of men held at Bay once the desire of God is set in motion?

Because the desire of God and the desire of men are both antithetical.

What man desires is not innately in perfect harmony with the desires of God.

The vision and the desire as much as the will of man maybe to expand the territorial domination of the corporate church building.

While on the other hand the desire and the will of God may be to perfect the individual church in terms of spiritual growth and in the faith.

Mankind wants to go back to the routine but the routine of mankind has been paused in the event that God is excuting his will upon the face of the Earth.

Immediately after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ mankind was transformed because now the great divide that separated mankind from God was bridges by the death and the resurrection of our Lord and savior-Jesus Christ.

Consequently every now and ; then God pauses the routine of mankind inorder to execute his will upon the face of the Earth ; then it means that life as we have always known it is about to take on a new shape and a new strange form.

UNLEARNING THE STATUS-QUO

Nehemiah 8:1
Psalms 16:11
Psalms 91:1-2
1 Chronicles 16:27


There was a time in history when women where unfairly and unjustly discriminated as much as being denied of the idea of equal rights solely on the basis of sex/gender.

And inorder to undo this evil regularity it was imperative to unlearn the status-quo.

Unlearning the status-quo is simply daring to do things differently in a world and in a societal setting that perceives doing things differently as a radical social change that is not really necessary.

They think it's not necessary because they are more at ease and at comfort by how things are and settled at that exact moment in time.

Blaise Pascal was a 17th century French Catholic mathematician, inventor and a writer who died at the age of 39yrs.

He is renowned for inventing the pascaline which was a form of calculator that he invented inorder to ease the work of his ailing father who was a tax collector.

Blaise Pascal besides his invention is also considered the founding father of the theory of of probability.

A theory that he extensively wrote about in both his early and later years building up to his death due to a stomach tumor in the year 1643.

He is famed for stating and writing about the ground from upon which the miseries of men are derived when he said," All miseries of men derive from being unable to sit in a room quietly alone."

I took both the time and the intellectual liberty to unearth the dictionary opposite of the word misery.

And I found two words namely : contentment and pleasure.

Inother wards according to the 17th century philosopher, Blaise Pascal- to be content and to be in a place of pleasure one needs to be able to sit in a room quietly alone.

Conversely, one's inability to sit in a room quietly alone is the root of all miseries and that is according to Blaise Pascal.

Many a people seek after social reunions and all sorts of company inorder not to be alone because social gathering and being able to have company around them is a form of contentment and pleasure.

However contentment and pleasure on the basis of company and socially mixing seems to be nothing but a fallacy.

A fallacy that can be much compared to the temporal pleasures and comforts of human life

It's fallacious because authentic contentment and pleasure is never accomplished from without but it's realized from within us.

Real contentment and pleasure should be from our spirit and then radiating out to impact those that surround us.

Nothing on the outside is ever lasting but only that which is from within the very basis of our existence can only be pigeonholed as ever lasting.

In Madagascar schools whose classrooms where sitting three students per desk are now mandated to sit one student per desk in the practice of social distancing as a measure to curb the spread of corona virus.

This world is going through a process of unlearning the status-quo and henceforth as result the world will never be the same it was before.

People who were afraid to sit quietly in a room alone are having to do so now not because they want to but because normalcy is enduring a revolution.

And now instead of seeking pleasure and contentment from outside their quiet rooms it's time to seek true everlasting pleasure and contentment from their quiet rooms.

In that quiet room that seems to be void of any social connection and physical company is the very presence of God Almighty waiting on you to call out his name.

In Psalms 16:11 it's declared "You make known to me the path of life: in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

There is no place befitting to meet and have an encounter with the presence of the Lord God Almighty like in that place that 17th century French mathematician Blaise Pascal described as a " quiet room alone".

In that quiet room alone you can discover your true self and they is no greater contentment (joy) and pleasure in near comparison to such an experience.

An experience that is only derived from meeting and encountering the presence of God Almighty.

It's seems almost hard to experience the presence of God in an environment surrounded by so many people but when you sited quietly in a room alone then it becomes easy.

And the moment you come to the understanding that the pleasures of this world are fallacious in form because they are temporal in nature.

Then will you seek the presence of God all the more because you finally realize that the pleasures of God are nothing but joyful and everlasting by nature.

Nothing can keep you together like the contentment and pleasure that comes from the presence of God Almighty.



There seems to be no miseries and grief in the presence of God just like it was said in Nehemiah 8:10 by Nehemiah him self,"Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared.

This day is holy to our Lord.

Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

In unlearning the status-quo that has always been the norm but now it seems to be disappearing away from sight, we are to fully grasp the vitality of the quiet room as the secret place.

A special place that is highly spoken of in Psalms 91:1-2 and the individual who dwells thereof.

"He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord,He is my refuge and my fortress: my God ; in him will I trust."

In such miserable times one has to come to trust in God and to utilize the quiet room in the event of trying to cultivate the innate curiosity.

This is so cause once one's innate curiosity is cultivated well enough it will come to a place of meeting with the presence of God.

Filled with splendor and majesty.

Strength and joy making you forget all the miseries of this world(1 chronicles 16:27).

A SUDDEN DEEP FREEZE

2 Kings 6:24-31
Psalms 40:1
Psalms 30:2


Many companies across the board have used services and acquired goods and withheld payment to suppliers inorder to conserve cash in the face of the corona virus lockdowns.

Consequently kick-starting an economic sudden deep freeze.

The amount of money that is more than 10 days overdue has grown 56% in France, 52% in Spain, and a whopping 82% in Italy since the World Health Organization declared a pandemic on March 11.

The U.K and the Netherlands have each seen about a 25% increase, while Belgium has seen a 44% spike.

That's according to data released on the 23rd of April 2020 by Sidetrade, a Paris -based software company that helps businesses with customer engagement, cash management, and invoice collection.

The firm looked at data for some 28.5 million business-to-business invoices, adding up to more than 50 billion euros($54billion) and involving about 4 million companies.

Mark Sheldon, Sidetrade's chief technology officer, said the sudden leap in unpaid invoices is "unprecedented" and can't be easily compared to other previous recessions.

Have you not yet realized that every thing that the world is enduring at present has no comparisons.

It has no comparisons because the world has never been at a place where it finds itself right now.

None the less having said all of that in 2 Kings 6:24-31 we find a woman yelling to the king of Israel as he was passing by on the city wall.

This was exactly the time when the king of Syria Ben Hadad had assembled his entire army and attacked and besieged Samaria.

Samaria's food supply ran out in the course of the siege by the king of Syria and the people of Samaria were starving.

And this is much akin to the present situation in the world today where millions of people around the world are constantly being threatened by hunger because their food supply is running out due to a siege upstaged by the novel corona virus.

"Help us my master, oh king!" - The woman yells and the king of Israel replied, No , let the LORD help you.

How can I help you?

The threshing floor and winepress are empty."

Then the king asked her, "what's your problem?"

She answered, "This woman said to me, ' Hand over your son , we 'll eat him today and then eat my son tomorrow."

So we boiled my son and ate him.

Then I said to her the next day. " Hand over your son and we'll eat him.'

But she hid her son."

When the king heard what the woman said, he tore his clothes."

The king's action of tearing his clothes was an illustrative expression and an indication of frustration and helplessness.

The king was saying to the yelling woman in no uncertain terms -" I can't not help you cause am at the point of frustration".

Thousands if not millions around the world are sharing in this helplessness and in this frustration .

A frustration that has come upon you because you rendered a service out of your good nature to some one and to some type of organization and when it was their turn to give back to you they hide and withheld back their hand.

As a sign that even though you serviced them they are not willing to service you.

In the same spirit the woman was not Willing to surrender his son after eating her contemporary's son

And now you feel manipulated, lied and played by someone, by some organization and even by your government.

When the government required you to pay your tax you paid your tax but now that you in desperate need of help the government has deep freezed and they refuse to help you.

It's frustrating cause when the church leader called out unto you to give a cash donation you gave your best but now that you in need of some basics to survive today and tomorrow the church leader is withholding his hand and he won't give back to you.

And now your entire perception of those that are required to step into the gap for you has shifted.

It has shifted because now they nothing but manipulators, liers and takers.

In 2 Kings 6:27 the king of Israel replied to the yelling woman who was asking him for help and said, No let the LORD help you.

The woman expected the king to help her but the king replied unto her and said, No let the LORD help you.

And in 2 king 6:30 after the king heard the yelling woman's full narrative , he tore his clothes.

Just to tell her that am deeply touched by your experience but I can't help you cause am frustrated and helpless myself.

Indicatively those that you hope and expect to help you in this day and time are also frustrated and helpless.

And because they are frustrated and helpless it's only God that can help you.

Government leaders are frustrated, church leaders are frustrated and even Civic leaders are frustrated.

Hence it's time to cry out unto God cause he alone can help us out of this sudden deep freeze.

The government and the church leader took your money and now in your mind they have become nothing but a liars , manipulators and takers because you on the verge of a famine of biblical proportion and they are not helping you out.

But perhaps they can't help you cause they are helpless and frustrated themself.

David the great psalmist makes a statement in Psalms 30:2 and says,"LORD my God, I cried to you for help and you healed me.

While on the other hands David's adds in Psalms 40:1," I waited patiently for the LORD: he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire: he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

I desire to do your will, o my God: your law is within my heart."

GOD COMPLEX

Malachi 3:10
Daniel 4:17

Lots of people seem to attain so much accolades, honour and applause that it kind of get a control over their lives.

And once prominence and the desire to stay relevant gets the best of them then they arrive at a place where they are willing to do anything inorder to get some sort of attention that leads to public approval.

And once the aforementioned gets to a crescendo then the culprits tend to become victims of the God Complex.

Through out history many kings , opinion leaders, religious leaders, community leaders and other types of institutional leaders suffered from the God Complex.

The God Complex is when an individual attains great power and authority that it gets him too impressed with their position.

However many times than not when some one is suffering from the God Complex then they sometimes need to be reminded that God alone is truly sovereign.

In Daniel 4 we find a man by the names Nebuchadnezzar who was a victim of the God Complex and he had to be reminded that God alone is truly sovereign the hard way.

Nebuchadnezzar was a narcissistic leader who literally conquered the world at the age of 17yrs.

He was the sort of person that you would refer to as the best description of "one in a life-time kind of a guy.

And one day he gets a dream that no one would attempt to intereprete except Daniel.

He narrates the events of the dream to Daniel for interpretation and in Daniel 4:17 he notes that while in the dream -" The decision is announced by messengers,the holy ones declare the verdict, so that the living may know that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on the earth and gives them to anyone he wishes and sets over them the lowliest of people"

Upon that verdict Nebuchadnezzar's dream is ended and ready for interpretation by Daniel.

Its important to note that before there was ever a Nebuchadnezzar there was a Pharoah and both of these men of history were victims of the God Complex.

And as a result were able to make historical choices and decisions that gave the world the false impression that they were some gods of sort.

Ofcourse they were mere men and just mortals who needed to be remained that God alone is sovereign.

At this moment in time our world is interfaced with a dilemma with no solution of any kind because no man has a solution.

The dilemma that our world is wrestling with at present is much akin to the intricate complexity that mind boggled Nebuchadnezzar upon receiving a dream whose interpretation was outrightly rare.

Hence due to this dilemma we are forced to acknowledge that even those that have posited themselves to be of so much power and authority have no power to deal with the biggest problem of the world at present.

And because no one can stand up to the biggest problem of our present existence then we agree that it's only God who can do it.

Only God can raise the dead and defeat death at its best form.

No man has the ability to outshine the power of God.

Malachi 3:10 declares" Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse that there may be food in my house.Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty , " and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessings that there will not room enough to store it."

In critical analysis the purpose of the declaration in Malachi 3:10 seems to be aimed at creating a food bank.


A food bank is place where stocks of food, typically basic provisions and non-perishable items are supplied free of charge to people in need of have difficulty purchasing enough to avoid hunger.

some food banks operate on the front line model giving out food directly to the hungry.

With the entire world on lock down many if not millions of people globally are at the brinks of starvation because they can't afford basic provisions.

And sadly the organisations that are mandated to collect the tithe that they have been collecting with the biblical aim of making sure that they create food banks to supply to the needy are missing on the frontlines.

They missing on the frontlines even though millions of people globally are struggling with starvation.

The leaders of these organizations are suffering the God Complex drunk with so much power and authority that a spanner needs to be thrown into their wheels so as to recall that the LORD Almighty is sovereign over all kingdoms.

And that even though they have accumulated so much power and authority they just mere mortals.

Mere mortals that need to be remained by God through a global dilemma that they can't solve that it's time to honour God and submit to God cause no one can compare to the power of his glory.

UPSIDE DOWN

Matthew 20:16
1 Samuel 2:8
Proverbs 29:23
Micah 7:7

On the 21st April 2020 renowned CNN news anchor by the names of Robyn curnow reported that the price and value of Oil has dwindled to less than zero.

Oil is regarded as one of the most valuable and essential commodities of the world.

The demand and premium placed upon oil around the world is without a question very high.

Anybody in possession of Oil is considered economically rich due to its high demand as much as it's scarcity.

The world literally runs it's economy on one single commodity called oil.

To the degree that many have gone forth to term oil as black gold.

It's termed as black gold because of its quick and fast ability to draw huge finances.

Oil is sought after by small and big nations of the world because their economies depend on it like oxygen inorder to stay alive.

Never in history has oil ever been below zero value.

However on 21st April 2020 oil has registered it's first moment in history when it's considered of no value and of less relevance.

And its important to realize that the circumstances that have contributed to the total collapse of the value of oil are embedded in a siege forced upon the economy of the world by the corona virus pandemic.


A siege is a military term and it is defined as a military like operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies with the aim of compelling those inside to surrender.


Corona virus has besieged the world and perpetually forced cities and entire countries together with their economies into a lockdown.


All global media outlets are engaged in a global public relations campaign under the tag banner"STAY HOME,STAY SAFE

Ofcourse a seige is a military operation and it's indicative of an ensuing war.

The world is at war and the enemy has attacked the world and the enemy is corona virus.

Upon the announcement that the value of oil has collapsed below zero CNN news anchor Robyn Curnow and a reporter grappled on how best to describe the present situation of the world and the reporter suggested a beautiful analogue entitled "upside down"

Indeed and infact the world is upside down because the most valuable and essential commodity hitherto the coronavirus was oil but as we speak it's value is below zero.


It's wise to also understand that this is a paradigm shift in global status.


The first are getting ready to be last and the last are getting to be first.

God has undoubtedly tipped the scales and turned the tables around.

That which seemed of high value is suddenly assuming less value and that which was of less value is also suddenly assuming high value.

The one who was insignificant hitherto the corona virus pandemic is about to rise up into notoriety.

Those who were in positions of notoriety are slowly falling back into the opposite.

The term humility is best described by the Latin glitterati as "tying oneself to the ground."

Anybody tied to the ground is accustomed to the dust.

And just much as it is decreed in 1 Samuel 2:8 " He raised up the poor out of the dust and lifeth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes and to make them inherit the throne of glory.For the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S and He had set the world upon them."

God is in the event of exposing the truth in proverbs 29:23 where it's stated that ,"A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

A siege is many times expected to force the victims into a surrender without resistance.

Suggestively the pandemic is God's creative strategy of making the world surrender to his will.

Every thing the world has always depended upon seems not to be working right now.

Hence all we got to do is to surrender unto God for he alone can help the world out of its present state of predicament.


The word help in bible terminology denotes salvation.

And in Micah 7:7 the writer declares ," Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of salvation. My God will hear me.

At this juncture if we can call upon God he will hear us and come to our salvation, to our rescue and to our help.

With total confidence because we understand that God is a present help in the Times of trouble.

Donald J.Wiseman in his commentary of 1 kings and 2 kings stated ," God never fails to meet the need of his people when they trust him.

Everything seems to be failing including the very foundation upon which our lifestyles are grounded are crumbling but God never fails.
