JOEL ARMY 22


Hello everyone, I welcome you to another edition of this series. Yesterday, I laid emphasis on the fact that the Joel Army are not just those who are born again but, are those whose lives are driven BY THE WORD OF THE LORD Joel 2:11 and they are people that their own speaking in tongues has translated into TANGIBLE POWER.
 We have many talkers, shouters, singers, screamers and downloaders of songs/messages nowadays. But, we have FEW DOERS. DUNAMIS POWER is generated in the place of Prayers. Listen, the authority Elijah used to shut the heaven in the days of Ahab was generated in the place of Prayers. The 29Secs bold declaration in the Palace of Ahab was not it. James gave us insight into it James 5:17-18. The Apostles said they would commit themselves to the ministry of Word and Prayer that they wouldn't leave these to serve tables. But notice that Stephen was different from the others called to SERVE TABLES. In Acts 6 vs. 5, Stephen was said to be full of Faith and the Holy Ghost. But verse 8 said he was FULL OF FAITH AND POWER, DID GREAT WONDERS AND MIRACLES AMONG THE PEOPLE.
 What was responsible for this change? I am sure it is because he had added the APOSTOLIC MENU OF WORD AND PRAYER TO HIS OWN DAILY MEAL.
There is a way you can generate Power through serious prayers.
In these days of Microwave Church Services where you can have 4 Services within 6hours, one is not surprised that we are where we are today.
Consistent Prayer is a necessity for Power generation.

Not only this, the Joel Army must be people given to the WORD OF GOD. Remember that Joel 2:11 says THE VOICE OF THE LORD DRIVES THIS ARMY.  You have to be full of God's Word. Apostle Paul admonishes us in Col. 3:16 'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord'.
This connotes a deliberate action. Our generation seems to be blessed and cursed at the time and in the same degree. How do I mean?
We have access to loads of information and Revelations from centuries; thousands of PDFs of books of great men and women down the ages, different Bible translations and Concordances and loads of impactful videos online yet, the time to sit down and consume these materials seems to be a luxury we couldn't afford.
 But, a new breed arises that will be very hungry not just to acquire those materials but to ferociously devour them.

How do you get God's Word into You?
A. READ YOUR BIBLE AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIALS. The first prerequisite to receiving RHEMA (GOD'S SPOKEN WORD) is to have the LOGOS (GOD'S WRITTEN WORD) INTO YOU. This is very basic.
B. MEDITATION. This is the process of translating the LOGOS IN YOUR HEAD TO RHEMA IN YOUR HEART. It involves DEEP THINKING/PONDERING ON GOD'S WORD, READING AND ASKING QUESTIONS, MUTTERING UNDER YOUR BREATH, SPEAKING, SHOUTING AND ROARING THE WORD.
Commit yourself to contemplating the Word of God. God bless you.

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
