SOMEBODY IS UPSET

Matthew 2:1-14(¹ Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,² Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.³ When Herod the king had heard these things, he was upset, and all Jerusalem with him.⁴ And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.⁵ And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,⁶ And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.⁷ Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what timethe star appeared.⁸ And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.⁹ When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.¹⁰ When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.¹¹ And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.¹² And being warned of God ina dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.¹³ And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.¹⁴ When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:)

King Herod is not just upset because of the child that has been born in Bethlehem but he is firstly upset and very upset because no one in his intelligence system or in his secret service was able to tell him and inform him of the boy that has been born in Bethlehem. He is upset but not for the same reason that everyone else in Jerusalem is upset.

King Herod is upset because the boy born is a major threat to his influence, authority, power, and dominion, and worst of all no one in his intelligence system was able to detect the threat before it was born. Somebody is upset in your community, in your nation, and in your continent, and on a global scale because your entire person hood together with the assignment that comes along with it, pose a threatening revolution against the powers that be, and the pillars that uphold the status-quo.

And to add insult to injury, the threat that you pose against the present structures of power, authority, and dominion has come to be manifested in your life without the prior intellectual cognitive understanding of the people whose authority is subjective to your authority.

Somebody is upset around the very brinks of the scope of your influence because you have been mandated to operate in a very powerful but yet unknown level of divine authority.

It’s unknown because it’s the first of its kind to be released by God unto a man with whom he has found favor. Once this level of authority sets in motion, it has a very uncanny way of overshadowing everybody around it so as to be the mechanism by which things are made to happen.

Somebody is upset not because they did not expect you to show-up and take full charge over that which has kept mankind in the dungeons of despair for countless decades but rather because you showed up at a time they did not anticipate.

King Herod is furthermore upset due to an intellectual reason but the other group (which apparently includes the prophets, the priests, and the rabbis) is upset prophetically.

And they keep on asking themselves the answer-question-why did God reveal to us the place of the messiah’s birth and not the time of his birth?

 Secondly they are upset because God in all his awesome capacity and propensity did chose a group of star-gazers(probable disciples of Confucius- the great Chinese philosopher and star-gazer) to reveal a divine secret that ought to be revealed by a prophetic voice against an astrological voice.

However what they did not understand is that God only reveals his divine plans and secrets to those who  are ready to worship him even when his plan and secret is seemingly more speculative than real. He (God) revealed to the star-gazers the time of Jesus’ birth because the star-gazers were ready and willing to travel several miles just to worship Jesus in spirit and Truth whilst the priest and the rabbis were not ready to do the same because they were so embroiled in their self-importance and self-relevancy.

Somebody IS UPSET BECAUSE THERE IS A YOUNG Africa generation and a group of young people around the world whom God has entrusted, a vision, a dream, and a prophesy but it all sounds more speculative than real. But none the less this generation keeps on and it still does work hammer and tongs to be accountable and responsible towards the vision, dream, and prophesy of God over your lives, Even when they have been laughed at as a bunch of speculators.

They comes a time in the life of everyone whom God has called when it seems as though you are a speculator but the reason why everyone is upset at the manifestation of your assignment and purpose in God is simply because God is getting ready to surround you with wise men.

 Wise men that will believe in your assignment and vision not as a mere speculation but as a work of God Almighty, wise men who will invest financially into your assignment in God, for they know God shall surely bless them back. Somebody is upset because just like the wise men from the East who came at the guidance and leading of the star of King Jesus Christ he leads, guides, and protects and shows you the right way to go and not to go.

It’s important to note that after the wise men come out of Jerusalem, no one in Jerusalem follows them to go to Bethlehem in search of King Jesus-the one who deserves all the praise, and the worship. No one in Jerusalem goes with the wise men because they think the birth of Jesus in their time is only but a mere speculation.

Like the three wise men from the East announced the time of the birth of Jesus Christ so will a generation arise from Africa to announce the exact time of the return of our captain, savior, redeemer, and master-the Lord Jesus Christ. Once you read the book of Luke Chapter 2:41.

You will find out that Jesus at the age of 12 finds himself in the temple sited with the rabbis discussing the Torah and everyone in the temple is confounded and amazed at the level at which he is dissecting scripture and interpreting the same.

Yet what the rabbis do not understand is that the same boy whose time of birth they labeled a mere speculation is now the same boy that is confounding them. Can I tell you something…..somebody is upset because 2013 is the moment when everyone who called you a speculator will begin to believe and to agree that you speak on behalf of God Almighty.
