THOSE WITH A VISION OF A TOWER THAT THE LORD DIDN'T ORDAIN - His Pleasure Series 018

Read Genesis 11:1-9

Genesis 11:4, KJV

"And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth."

One of the things you'll see about charlatans is that they'll seek to prove they have a high calling. This is what leads Theudas to the boast of great things and the saying that he's somebody. Here, we find some antagonists of God and His will (in that they want to build Babel - which directly means rebellion against God) come together with a vision of greatness that the hands of the Lord didn't cut for them. Of their own counsel, vision, prudence have they decided and deduced that they should build an amazement to every sight. So, what did they decide on? 

"Let us build us a city and a tower..."

Their vision is gigantic in what they wanted to build. It's a gigantic civilization and urban work - a city. Also, they didn't say a bungalow or a duplex. They said a "tower." Do you know what a tower is? It means a very high or exalted building. It's one whose top always reaches height upon height. This is where they'll be headquartered. The centre of their lust and craving for a civilization which holds them all together. Meanwhile, mind the use of language in that verse. It's, "come, let us build us..." It is these humans who have a thing to build and it's themselves they're building for. In a God given vision, God has something to build for a people or generation and so calls a man and gives him a mandate/patterns on same. The ark (ship and the one harbouring the testimony) were not Noah's or Moses' visions nor did they originate what to build or its patterns (Gen.6:13-16, Exodus 25). God gave and inspired all. But once you see falsehood in action, it's plainly human or occultic.

Also, they say, "One whose top reach the heavens."

If the top of something reaches the heaven or the very apogee of the sky as the limit of man would allow, it means these people are bearing dominionship in their consciousness. What are they doing? "Since we've built a building whose height reaches the heaven; one, it will be visible for all eyes to see and for them to praise." It will become an attractive centre, a visiting site. Now, you're beginning to conceptualize what vain glory they desired. No called man heeds the calling for this vain glory of making a name for Himself. Fame is His Master's to decide. His was just to fulfill purpose and He'll have satisfied the pleasure of his Master. God has fame to give but it's not a constant A for all His labourers neither should any heed the call for selfish reasons of making name for oneself, catering for one's needs or having the respect of men etc.

Two, their building - a tower will show their colonization of the earth. It will show where they're ruling from and as far as we all know, it is he who rules the mountain that rules the valley. 

This building in will therefore opposes God and so is plucked down. God rather spreads humanity instead of having them contained. If you don't want a conflict of will with God, never do anything in contrast with what He has said, is saying or will say. If you can know them all per time, you'll excel and will build to the very height they were stopped from building to. That's if it's the Lord's. No vision is too tall. If God inspires it, you'll achieve it. 

PRAYER: I have sight from your sight. May my deeds proceed from Thee to see the light of the day. May the voice, "stop work" not thunder at me. I build till dawn. 

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Micah 1:1-4:13; Revelation 6:1-17; Psalm 134:1-3; Proverbs 30:1-4

WHY SOME JOIN A REVOLUTION - His Pleasure Series 017

THE HUNGER TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED FOR CHANGING THE TIDE 

Read II Sam. 15

Acts 5:36, KJV

"For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought."

There's a feel or accomplishment that goes with being praised for being in the new system that has caused the long desired change. However, be careful that you do not perish in gaining recognition that the Lord is not giving by thinking you can rise on the arm of flesh. This reason is why some join a revolution. This is why they join a moving ship. They want history to remember them to have been the initiates of what changed the course. Now, be careful not to gather without the Lord. Psalm 2 should shiver you out of any gathering that's not in consonance with God's will in heaven and on earth. Such gathering may be an attempt to resist God and His will. If that be, you'll be fought and then meet strong resistance.

Desiring recognition will get some people killed we know. Being contented is rather a great possession until you're called out. I'm sure that many who joined Theudas and Judas did for the sake of being known. Many of these people would be afore purposeless and of the group craving for presence and life recognition etc. Some might even have risen to becoming great in rank with these two revolutionists and rebel leaders. They'll all think they're fighting for a right cause which they're totally sold out to like Saul of Tarsus. Any rising, gathering that's not of the Lord is bound to meet God and be broken however. When a government has stayed long in power for instance, a revolution is imminent. Libya experienced same. It wasn't that Gadaffi wasn't good but they only desired fresh air. So, when many internally discontented people had their opportunity as provided them by external intruders, they murdered their "author of life." Today, Libya is in tatters, reproach and set back. Some might have joined the revolution in order to gain attention for ushering in the fresh air that'll consequently lead to the fresh breath long desired. Either a successful or an unsuccessful coup, many join to be privileged to be an initiate of a new system and be acknowledged for same. Yet, there can't be change of tide except it's the Lord's will. Human government is a product of God's institution and they bear rule on His behalf (Rom. 13:1-4). Why won't God be interested in his political representatives on earth? Just like I and all other ministers will give account of our services, so will all politicians give simply because they bear rule on behalf of God to punish the offenders and reward the righteous. 

As a Christian, you should not desire any recognition to your destruction especially when the Lord doesn't will it. All Absaloms who plan a take over shall go into extinction (II Sam. 15:4). While founding fathers or pioneers always have much honour attributed to them like none other yet if God has not called you as one, don't dare take the honour upon you. Or else, your comparing yourself with the called will not be wise. Your imprudence will manifest when the cause and the tide you have followed come to nought. No one learnt this on time until the population is broken, adherents scattered and no dream is fulfilled. Let their names be etched in gold, let these rebel revolutionists have themselves deified, let them control a whole nation; don't let that instigate you into going into what God is not causing. Only those He called He'll glorify. 

PRAYER: May the shadow of fame and pursuit of fame not take me off my real time of rising and manifestation. May I be men of Issachar in understanding time. 

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Micah 1:1-4:13; Revelation 6:1-17; Psalm 134:1-3; Proverbs 30:1-4

CHARACTERISTICS OF RABBLE ROUSERS - His Pleasure Series 015

THEY PROVIDE PEOPLE WITH A FALSE BELIEF AND DESTINATION

Read Acts 5:34-39

Acts 5:36, KJV

"For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought."

Any false minister does this. They act like the authentic would by providing people with a sense of purpose and destination but theirs is false. A false revolutionist, charlatan, rebel, rabble rouser, intruder has this as his attribute. "Who will follow you if there's no promise or destination you're calling them to?" This is why there are many fake and false ministers nowadays. They give people a false sense of hope: just a tingling, sweet sensation or tickling of their fancy. "Give them something to believe: something eternal, divine and out of this world. This will make them think and believe you're authentic. Same would even make you look like a saint or an ancient prophet of old and it would lend credence to you and your work in their sight." This is what many pseudo ministers and charlatans are operating with. They are ravenous wolves on the inside but they tend to have the outlook of a sheep on the outside. Their end has been predicted - destruction! Undiscerned however, they draw multitude after themselves like Theudas who drew four hundred to himself!

St. Luke, the writer of the Acts of the Apostles clearly places Theudas before Judas (Acts 5:36-37). But there's discrepancy in the fact that the only Theudas known to us to be a prophet, false teacher and rebel exists in the reign of Claudius in the year 44,45. According to Josephus, Theudas told his followers to pack all their goods and follow him to River Jordan. He said he would miraculously afford them a passage. However, the Roman procurator: Cuspius Fadus sent a troop of horse to meet him. While some of his followers were slain, others taken prisoners or scattered, he himself was beheaded and his head sent to Jerusalem. God was never with this man yet look at what he was promising. He was making himself somebody that has a divine destiny to fulfill and is fully sanctioned by God to be followed by many. This pretender looked so to many people and in St. Luke's account as recorded in Acts, we have an exact number of people he swayed with his falsity. You might say, "why were they so gullible? Four hundred of them? Aren't a thinker therein?" Then I should ask why we're being swayed and pranked by quick rich schemes that promise us great return on our money. They look big and well established. Many would even have Registration Numbers and sites. They might even partner with a popular bank but at the end, they'll crash and your money will be gone. You didn't see their end because you were too absorbed in the front they pushed forward.  The pseudo always give their adherents a thing to believe also. They'll pump them with a sense of "we're on a journey to Canaan (destination)" and this is what they'll forever nurse until the founder or promiser dies. Since they're not from God or His Son: who enforces the will after His death, how could they have a share in the reality and blessings of saints (Heb.9:16-17). Knowing they've been excluded this way from all heavenly blessings, they concoction false beliefs, destination and blessings for people. If this falsity goes on into the next generation, it might become a religion or a great cause that people associate with worldwide. That's why you shouldn't be afraid of such falsity's growth because God has promised to make a separation between the wheat and the tares at the harvest. But be assured, their end has been prophesied. It is "the ungodly shall not stand in the judgement nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous (Psalm 1:4-6).

PRAYER: Lord, we pray for the ignorant and charlatans who intentionally operate a fake/false calling or ministry, may they be convicted. Prevent all of us from error. May we not violate our conscience.

CHARACTERISTICS OF RABBLE ROUSERS - His Pleasure Series 014

THEY NEED A LARGE FOLLOWING

Acts 5:36-37, KJV

"36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. 37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed."

Brethren, there's a level of boldness and confidence you have when you know how many people and what status support you on a cause. You'll suddenly become inflated and strengthened. Some long years ago, back when kingdoms still reign and the power of life and death resides with the monarchy, only kings, warlords and some nobles have such attention and attentive ears of many followers. Power therefore was retained and lodged in their custody. Today, because of the Social Media and the Internet, this power has been dislodged and distributed all over the world even to the most ordinary of men who would dare to rise with something new to impress or win natural men to following. Immediately, you'll see people give their obedience even if all he feeds them with are pornographic and sensual tastes. If you want to test how powerful such mundane fellow has become, criticize him and see how many of his followers will pick on you. This online war might even be taken on ground and you'll see massive crowd protest even against the government because of one person taken in. There's power in number.  God had to strengthen Israel on many occasions not to be afraid of numbers and not trust in same (II Chronicles 20:1-22, I Chronicles 21:1-7)

So, a rabble rouser can't but feel powerless if he is isolated and it's known to him that he's alone. I once watched a political movie where an opposer of a dictatorial government was locked up. Because he was still alive and same is known, he rose thousands of protesters across the country and in all squares. The military intelligence advised the president to have him executed once and for all so that any aftermath would be dealt with instantaneously and that the followers' hope might be quenched. Even if you jail a rabble rouser without stamping him out, you may not know peace. The remedy is that he must be totally silenced. 

Look at Theudas, about 400 men were loyal to him. Why won't he feel like somebody destined for power and to be heard more and more? Consider Judas, many more submitted to him, why won't he feel secure in the midst of such huge population and begin to believe in the self deceptive cause he began and that it was real? He was said to have, "drew away much people after him." "Drew away" means to collect wrongly or illegally. The same thing the dragon did in Revelation 12:4, "and his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:" You see, rebellion survives more with much following. And if you don't know, people feel secured joining a big factor or cause. They believe it can protect them and even sway people's opinions. But if you have the number and yet you're not of God, you shall be scattered. For Theudas and Judas to survive, they do on the involvement of others they shout their slogans to and who reply in enthusiasm but the Roman military stamped them out, killed both of them with some of their followers while others were scattered. This is what Gamaliel was saying they should leave the latest cause of "preaching Christ" to meet. He said, "if it's of men, it shall come to nought but if it's of God, it can't be overthrown lest you're even found guilty fighting against God (Acts 5:38-39). Theudas' and Judas' moves were broken because they were not God's cause. If any foundation is not hosted to this anchor, it can't survive the coming rage. It'll be tested and it can't but be consumed. So, it's still not the many population of a cause that'll prevent it from being broken vice versa. It's solely, "if it's God's."  God do give authentic people population as followers as well but He never and they should never make it the source of their strength. I ask, "in who lies your strength, God or your congregation/many followers?"

PRAYER: Lord, may I not be deceived by the multitude of followers and hailers. May You be my Origin and Source of strength.

CHARACTERISTICS OF RABBLE ROUSERS - His Pleasure Series 013

Acts 5:37, KJV  

"After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed."

Before we overturn to the characteristics of rabble rousers, it pleases me to have you let into who a rabble rouser is. He is a stirrer of trouble, a creator of one and a breaker and disturber of peace and tranquility. He's a breaker of law and rejoices in the free reign and rule of anarchy - a state of lawlessness. They thrive on this so that they might afford their followers the privilege to loot, steal, kill and destroy. Every leadership starting from the family setup must be careful of rabble rousers. Who's the one who often or is almost causing a rift between you and your spouse? Identify same and come in agreement and terms on him or her. There are things one must not treat with levity so that the centre could hold; so that one could have praise of God as an Abraham who will command his household and children after him (Gen.18:19). This is why there's a general perception from my campus days that I'm a hard leader, difficult to please and one who won't settle for less. I called people to the highest standard of God for them though they were inconvenienced. It may be this bitterness of training and discipline to their souls that might have made some resist me and vomit me as one who stresses too much. But for those who submitted, they're testimonies themselves. I didn't allow the disorder of the system. I stood as anointed or called to affirm, bore the sword concentrated in my hands and ensured there was compliance to all that God is well pleased with. If after doing all these, I became your enemy because I didn't allow you to flower in disorganization and flattery disobedience, God is the One we both and all have to do with. Therefore, these are the characteristics of a rabble rouser: the Theudases and Judases. 

1. They have leadership giftedness or charisma

There's no head of a revolution who lacks charisma. There's something about charisma, it is charm and you rarely see the human world surviving it. That's why all of us collapse at the sight of stars, icons and those who perform the miraculous. They tend to awe us or strike us with something that we lack or don't have. In this way, we submit to them as God and swallow them hook, line and sinker. Why? They've charmed us and we can't but submit. What you must know is this: it is not wrong to submit, admire or be a follower of another. We all are. My Timothy has a Paul in ministry he follows as he also follows Christ. But, what belief does your mentor embrace and who is he is what we should question? If you follow what is not God's ordainment - one who doesn't caress God and His will daily, it will soon be revealed that you've succumbed to falsehood and so come to nought as said by Gamaliel and be punished with your model. That means, there's one leader not to follow. He who has charisma yet is not God's ordainment. How will you know? The Bible says, "your anointing teaches you all things (I John 2:27). You can't but have a witness concerning the fellow on your inside if you have the Holy Ghost. Over the years, I knew who to follow, listen to or collect from through that. While in 200 level when I got connected to my ministry father, it was a unity of spirit and soul and a great drawing and liking after who he is and what he says that proves he's the one. And as I follow, I was anointed by his anointing and begin to do his work. I began to be borne on his eagle wings: what he has researched and proved to work that I just absorb and welcome into my life. My ministry father teaches strongly in series. He once taught a series on "Following the Faith of Abraham" that lasted a year and entered into a new year. Yet, on radio. Same I am replicating not to talk of the gifts and his miracles that I do. And if Jesus tarries, "greater works than his I'll do" if I won't reward God and him badly but rather fulfill Jesus' words to His disciples at His departure (John 14:12).

You must also know that man is made to naturally submit or feel transported in front of what's greater than him. If a false minister shows charisma, he will naturally win some over (especially those without  discernment and yet lacking in Holy Ghost witnessing). This is because man is looking for a model, a teacher and is at the same time filled with aspirations to be part of something that's big, full of population or recognition at his time. Such things are usually commanded by charismatic people. Go from industry to industry and you'll see that natural leaders are easily marked out by charisma or giftedness. Since they naturally shine and draw attention, they'll easily have men attributed to themselves and if they be vain, vague, light, worldly, occultic or satanically possessed without the Anchor which holds the soul, they shall plunge themselves and whatsoever crowd they command into the abyss of destruction. The days are upon us. False ministers are on the increase but you have the anointing that teaches you all things so much more that you'll automatically have discernment on who to regard and follow vice versa. I John 2:20 also corroborates the first quote saying, "but ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things." If you're my Father's and many saints', you can't but be led like they are. Be careful of natural charisma that sways the natural man but which lacks the deep conviction of the Spirit. What is chaff to the wheat is the question this morning? One shall fade away. 

PRAYER: Lord, grant me discernment in the choice of who to follow or model after. Give me your ordainment and let my anointing teach me all things. Your leading is sure.

THE RABBLE ROUSERS - His Pleasure Series 012

Read Gen. 21:9-13

Acts 5:36-37, KJV

"36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought. 37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed."

In every system, there's the constitutionally recognized system or government and there's usually a faction led by a significant leader opposing this recognized government. That "recognized" as used there doesn't mean the constitutionally system itself is always God instituted but it means, "according to the law of that land or to others where they may be watching from", they believe power of the state is currently concentrated into a specific hand - and so that system with power gains acceptance and their backing while the other is jettisoned. That's why in matters of war, such external system will only send troops to support the system it firmly acknowledges as legal in order to crush its rival and the internal rabble rouser. Meanwhile, I am speaking in relation to a God set up, institution or cause that a fake or satanic cause seeks to topple. 

This illegal and ungodly cause is a rival and usually do become a great threat to the legal institution or setup. This is who Ishmael is becoming to Isaac before Sarah discerned it and have him sent away from the child of promise or line God has something to do with. Ishmael was mocking and trivializing the child of promise. When will contest of who the heir is or is superior or is the father's son not start? The matter displeased Abraham because Ishmael is also his son but God said Abraham should submit to it (Gen. 21:9-13). This morals what God will favour: what His will caused or what flesh/Satan brings to existence? Though God promised to make Ishmael great yet his measure of greatness is lesser than Isaac's because we know it isn't Ishmael God chose to pass the covenant blessing through. And if you look at it today, you'll see that there's still a rancour between what the Lord caused or has made (in the nation Israel stemming from Abraham to Isaac and then to Jacob) and the rabble rousers (the Arabs) stemming from Ishmael which Abraham caused in the flesh by not waiting for God's promise. Also, you could see the opposition between Christianity and Islam - stemming from these same two children of the same father.

There's always the rabble rouser or an illegal system that's the shadow or fake of the reality. What it has as plan is a takeover in order to fully substitute the will of God and what God has made. That's why God is committed to sending Ishmael away and committed to ensuring nothing fake or false overthrows what His own hands cut.  Even in our days, no legal government will allow terrorists and insurgency to substitute them or take over the country. The terrorists are good example of a cause or revolution that's illegal, marauding and anarchical that must be stopped. If not, the country might be turned upside down, government seized, those in power executed and peace disturbed. In some instances, countries could be steeped into wars and endless crisis because an illegal power holder grabs it by force. This is why when Theudas rose up with his doctrine and promises, the Roman military did not allow him to go miles with it. He was beheaded and killed with his followers while some of them were scattered. Beware of joining a losing cause. A cause that's only full of jangling with nothing profitable to come from it. Nothing profitable shall come from the Theudases' and Judases' causes because it's not the Lord's Made in the first instance. If God ordains it; if it is of God as said by Master and Elder Gamaliel, it can't be overthrown. Rather, any who oppose it will be found guilty opposing God. It is your duty to mark those whose heaven is pregnant but won't give rain. Never associate or join their cause. If you do, you'll be made an example like Theudas, Judas and their followers. God is jealous for you and is moving to protect you. May you forever know which rising to join and ones to abstain from. May you not fight a losing battle. May you have sight to see the end of things before they start. May your work not be broken. May you not found and fund what God would consider as mere jangling and creation of noise with the cymbals. May you be the man whom God rather resides with and starts a thing with. May you be that John from God (John 1:6). May your work, steps and origin be traceable to God and not flesh or the occult. I pray and counsel, be the man with the authentic calling, work and worth. Be preserved in hard times when you have the choice of choosing from alternatives that'll determine whether you live or you fold up.

PRAYER: Lord, give me understanding to discern causes, fellows, tools, rallies, campaigns not to join. In my journey of destiny, may you rather show my Philip that Ethiopian Eunuch to join while teaching my Nabal the disguised king in that distressed David to welcome.

THE RISE OF A REVOLUTION - His Pleasure Series 011

Acts 5:36, KJV

"For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought."

Today's teaching is the continuation of "His Pleasure Series" but it's also the beginning of a new move in the same series. We still have ten or more days to go from today in this new direction. I'll plead that you should follow. In every generation, there's always the promise or prophecy that people are waiting for. These promises or prophecies always have markers or time boundaries attached to them. There were prophecies that won't find fulfilment until a fellow is born, matures and even enter into his purpose of creation. If you consider John the Baptist, Jesus and even the virgin, later known as Mary that prophecy found fulfilment on, you'll agree that prophecy is attached to time and people. When it's time for a prophecy or promise to find fulfilment, the elements may disappear, something unusual as a sign may begin to happen. It may be the heavy oppression of a people. It may be the heavy corruption of a nation. All these are what would give birth to a renewal, wiping and cleanliness. For Israel in Egypt, when they drew near the promise, we were told that they grew in population massively (Acts 7:17). That sign answered to a thing which God had predicted would happen. It's a sign, symptom or marker of a prophecy. Only few would ever wonder and ask, "why this sudden explosive population?"

Who you must be is therefore to ever be in fellowship with the Holy spirit. He is the Spirit of sensitivity and awakening. There's nothing coming on the surface of the earth that He has not known and can't give you notice about. He told somebody not to get involved with that just man and every matters that will concern Jesus (Matt.27:19). In this way, you'll know what move to join and abstain from. The reason is simple, if you join yourself to a move, system, institution, parade, match, rally, cause that the Lord has not made, it will not only be vulnerable to destruction but if destruction comes on it, you may be punished with sinners and reap their rewards. Theudas was not only slain but many who bore affinity with him were and scattered. Just like there's a prophecy or promise for each generation, so is a revolution in every generation. This revolution is what key persons in that generation may surf on and rise to power with. They'll therefore become pioneers or a setter forth of a new era or doctrine that people will practice from that time henceforth. These are people who religions, denominations, systems, processes, a great cause, move could be associated with as they were the ones who spearheaded it or brought about the revolution. 

A revolution is a move and a great stirring up. You can't look at all physical signs to discern which move to join. This is why you must be in intimacy with the know it all Spirit so you won't pass on and be judged like the simple and so you won't refrain and miss the move that could have caused you to rise into headship in the new revolution or state of the nation. That's why I love the military. In coup de tat, they plan all the way before toppling an existing government. They know it's consequential being found out. So, they learn which system to topple and what time to topple it. Striking at the wrong time when all things are not perfect and without the fear of missing is danger. This is what a spiritual man must watch. You're watching not to miss a move as well as not to jump on a ride that you'll be destroyed with the multitude who couldn't read the sign that, "this is not the appointed move, time, person (to go with) or even tools to execute with." May you however say, "now is the day and today is the time." May what you've picked in your Spirit as a time to come eventually come. May it be that when it comes swiftly like a wind or ride, you'll be found sensitive and bold to join the move that can rouse you to the head. David was at home but Jesse perceived a time, a cause and a move and so sent him to battle. David didn't come back home empty ended. He came back home with a great name and a chieftaincy in the army. This is he that none would ever reaconwith as a soldier but when Goliath's head fell off, "they sang David had killed his ten thousand" even though it was just one (but a big one) he had killed (I Sam.18:7). I pray for you, you'll sense what's about to happen and you'll be moved to join a person, relocate to a place or affiliate with a system. You'll smell the move and time. You won't stay in Jerusalem at the time kings go forth to battle and you should lead the battle (being on the frontline of the cause; spearheading the move). May delegation that stained David not find you out. May you not sleep when you should be on the move. May you be above the spirit and debauchery of this age to understanding what the will of God is (because you're not drunken with wine which is debauchery). May the spirit of successful revolutionists possess and dominate you. May you not exercise forwardness where cautiousness should be primary.

PRAYER: This is the time of prophecy and promises, let the markers appear. What my spirit and soul were hovering to decode, may I find. I receive sensitivity to join the right chariot.
