Joel Army 10

Hello everyone, I welcome you to the second half of this series in the name of Jesus. In the first part, I took time to talk about various events that will occur between now and the New Heaven and Earth. In this second part, I will talk about the relevance of Joel's prophecies to our days, the End Time Army, Nigeria and her prophetic destiny, etc.
Note:
A serious level of prophetic inclination is needed to flow in this second part. I pray that God will pour out the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in this aspect upon every reader in Jesus' name.
Please take time to read Joel Chapter 1- 3 very well.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO JOEL
This book was categorised with the Minor Prophets like Amos, Hosea, Micah, etc but as we will still discover, it contains some deep Revelations that some of the so-called Major Prophets didn't have.

THE TIME IT WAS WRITTEN
This is one of the few books that theologians were not able to agree on a specific date it was written. One thing is sure, it certified to be long before Jesus came and even before the captivity of Israel started. Some said it was written around 838-756BC which would fall in the time of David or even before David. This is further corroborated by the absence of names like Assyria and Babylon (cities around in the days of captivity) and by the presence of Tyre, Sidon, Philistines and Egyptians (old times enemies of Israel). Some said it could have been written between the fifth and seventh century B.C.  But, the common belief is that the content of the message wasn't affected by the date.

JOEL CHAPTER 1
The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. Joel 1:1
Joel means Jehovah is God.
Pethuel is a combination of two words- 'Pethu' and 'El'.
 Pethu means an opening, a mouth, a gate or a portal while El is the name of God- Jehovah. So, Pethuel means an opening (mouth, gate or portal) for Jehovah.
This means that Joel's prophetic inclination was traceable to his father. May your children inherit deep spiritual virtue from you in Jesus' name.
Verse 2 downward is filled with a call to different age groups to talk about the four levels of catastrophes that have invaded the land.

FOUR CATASTROPHES
 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. Joel 1:4
A. Palmerworm: suddenness, surprising catastrophe typifying natural disasters.

B. Locusts: Destroyers typifying diseases and pestilences.

C. Cankerworm: attacks the farm in the absence of the farmer. It typifies thieves, stealing, corruption.

D. Caterpillar: destroyer on the land typifying terrorism.
These are the four levels of evil that have invaded the land. Maybe I am the only one that is seeing NIGERIA in the light of this scripture!
Let me stop here today and continue tomorrow.
I am Olufemi Solomon.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T

Holy Spirit 8- The symbol of Oil

By
1 Sam.16:13, Is.61:1,PS.23:5,92:10. The Oil typifies ANOINTING UPON & WITHIN A PERSON. It's an empowerment for God's Service. In the old testament, the anointing comes only on THE PRIESTS, KINGS AND PROPHETS to perform spiritual tasks. The rule hasn't changed now just THAT ALL BELIEVERS have been brought in. The anointing is NOT THAT oil you carry about in the bottle. One man of God in Nigeria once said 'THE ANOINTING IS THE HOLY SPIRIT IN A BOTTLE'. That statement is completely heretical. To appreciate the Oil Dimension of the Holy Spirit, let's look at d making of the HOLY ANOINTING OIL in old testament. Song of Songs 1 vs. 3 'Because of the savour of thy ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee'  Ex. 30 vs. 22-25 THE HOLY ANOINTING OIL as described in Ex. 30 typifies  THE LIFE-GIVING DIMENSION. 1Cor.15:45. The holy anointing oil is compounded after the order of the Divine Apothecary-like a pharm
