JOEL ARMY 16


Hello everyone, I welcome you to another day in this series in the name of Jesus the Christ. Yesterday, I started talking about the three armies of the Lord as far as the scripture is concerned. I have talked about The Gideon Army. Let me talk about the army Prophet Ezekiel described before coming back to the Joel Army.

THE EZEKIEL ARMY Eze. 37
Ezekiel 37 is a very familiar scripture to a lot of Christians. If your Pastor has never referred to this passage before, he deserve a trophy.
Ezekiel 37 started with Ezekiel enjoying supernatural transportation to a valley full of dry bones. Be it known that this valley is not a physical location but A SPIRITUAL ONE. The same goes for the bones within this valley. He was told to prophesy so that the bone could be joined together, flesh could come upon them and the breath of God could enter into them.
Ezekiel said in Vs.10 'So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army'.

WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS COMPANY?
They are going to be the last phase of the harvests to be brought into the house of the Lord in the last of the last days.

THE RELEVANCE OF THEIR FORMER CONDITIONS BEFORE THE PROPHETIC UTTERANCES
A. The valley was full of dry bones. The meaning is that the valley was full of dead people. Not only this, they have been dead long enough for all the joints to get dislocated. Not only this, they have been blown to different places. It means these people are spiritually dead; they are not born again,
are without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world Eph. 2: 12 They are not just dead but dry. It means that they don't know God at all. This same company of people are the ones Joel called 'MULTITUDES, MULTITUDES IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION' Joel 3 vs. 14
It is not every unsaved person that has fraternised with the Devil. There are billions of people just like the inhabitants of Nineveh who don't know their left from their right. There are a large number of people in every nations under the sun that have not heard about the True and the Only Living God. Hence, they remain dry.
What is the connection between these three armies? Which company is saddled with the responsibility of prophesying to this company of dead people?
 These questions as well as others will be the focus of tomorrow's teaching.
I am Olufemi Solomon.

Prayer of Enquiry

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

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

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
