NOTHING IS
HIDDEN BEFORE GOD
“And there
is no creature hidden from His sight” (Hebrew 4:13 )
A.E Brooks
said; “The test of progress is obedience.” Jesus symbolised obedience in
that He lived a life of perfect obedience; died on the cross for the sins of
the world and was raised from the dead. He was found worthy for the noble act
of opening the scroll. Jesus alone having been tried and tested but found
without fault could be trusted to break the seals, open the scroll, to look in
it and protect the future events in the world entrusted to him. Beloved, your
life and future has been written on a scroll and sealed with the blood of Jesus
Christ. As such there is nothing about your life that is hidden before God. He
is the Author and Finisher of your faith. There ought not to be any mysterious,
sinister surprises tagging on to your life or lies being told about your future
by the devil. Jesus Christ is speaking to you today to reveal that His plans
for you are to give you an expected end. You need to carefully consider the
facts that are emerging from this deep yet potent revelation that your life is
laid bare before God who knows the beginning from the end. Even when you go
through turbulent times, those experiences are within God’s predetermined
counsel. Do not then allow Satan and his cohorts convince you that you deserve
to suffer, gnash your teeth and bite your tongue in trepidation because of
demonic oppression. The scroll had seven seals around it. The number seven
symbolises divine perfection, so God has a perfect plan for the future of
mankind. Psalm 119:89 says; “Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in
heaven.” In the midst of the heavenly team John saw; “a Lamb as though
it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven
Spirits of God sent out into all the earth” (Revelation 5:6). Jesus
has been given all authority and dominion by His Father, and the same He vested
in those who would believe in His name. You are carrying the authority of God’s
kingdom inside of you, but now you need to express it wherever you go. Jesus is
the one who was found capable and qualified to execute God’s plans on the
earth, and He has your life in His able hand.

A TIME OF PROPHETIC ENGAGEMENT
“That
which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, The God of Israel, I have declared
to you” (Isaiah 21:10)
As
you continue in the transition to the life God promised you for now, it is
important for you to know that prophetically you have entered into a
pathway to being birthed (manifesting) into that hope you have carried. When a
baby begins his or her journey to the world, it gets to a point where its head
‘engages’ in the birth canal. What this means is that the baby takes a position
that means and says; “I’m coming out!” Once a baby’s head engages birth
experts or older women can usually tell from the shape of the pregnant woman’s
belly. I recently went through a couple of weeks of severe illness that really upset
me. It felt like I was carrying every known symptom of minor illnesses on my
physical body. It did not help either that every news channel reporting
outbreak of a virus seemed to describe just how I felt at the time. I knew I
was in a battle with the serpent of old,

WALKING
THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;” (Isaiah 43:2)
David
prayed; “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they
comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). David testified to ‘walking through’ and
not sitting tight in the valley of shadow of death. There are times in your
life’s experiences when everything you are seeing and hearing spell doom and
gloom but remember David’s prayer confession today; “though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death.” His declaration presupposes temporary
rather than permanent temptation; revealing also a determination to overcome.
David recognised the importance of God’s presence when going through
temptation, and declares fearlessness in the face of evil. The Spirit of the
Lord is illuminating an important truth to you today that you are going through
a narrow path in the transition of life. This is the time for you to arrive at God’s
preordained destination for you. When Job got to the end of a difficult time,
his confession changed. He said of God; “I have heard of You by the hearing
of the ear, But now my eyes sees You” (Job 42:5). When you go
‘through’ a circumstances that make absolutely no sense against the word of
God, remember today that you will surely come out on the other side of that
same experience with a testimony. You will never fail once you recognise God’s
presence with you and that His rod and staff are also with you. A narrow place explains the feeling of
pressure, lack of room for expression and perhaps even lack of language
expression you are experiencing at present. You may be feeling like you have so
many ideas but you just don’t quite know how to put them together, who to take
them to and even how to make money out of them. You may be feeling
uncomfortable with the state of affairs around you, with sluggish nature of
people who ought to be helping you get to where you are going in God. In other
words, you just may be going through a ‘fed up’ time. This is an indication
that you are in a narrow place leading to a broad place in God. The force of
your discomfort, discontentment or fed up-ness is just what you need to be
pushed out of where you are now (emotionally, physically, financially or
spiritually) to push you out (birthing) and into a whole new world of change
(manifestation). Are you ready?

THERE
IS ONE WORTHY
“Who
is worthy to open the scroll, or to look at it”
(Revelation 5:4)
John,
the revelator gave an account of a profound vision he had. He said; “And
I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside
and on the back, sealed with seven seals” (Revelation 5:1). He then
saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice; “Who is worthy to open the
scroll and to loose its seals?” And no one in heaven or on the earth was
able to open the scroll, or to look at it.
Can you imagine a scenario where there was work to be done on behalf of
the whole world but no one was found worthy to do that work? John said he then
wept with obvious heaviness of the heart because no one in heaven or on the
earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. John
wept because no one stood upright enough and perfect enough to be trusted with
information on the future of the world. But one of the elders consoled and
assured him there was One worthy to perform that divine assignment. He said to John; “Do not weep. Behold, the
Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of Root of David, has prevailed to open
the scroll and to loose its seven seals” (Revelation 5:5). The
scroll John saw here contains the full account of what God has in store for the
entire world. It contains God’s plans for your life too. The seven seals
signify the importance of the contents as they had to be sealed seven times,
establishing seven levels or foundations. It gives the impression that as each
seal is opened and its contents revealed, another set of divinely classified
information is revealed also to be broken. It is important for you to
understand today that the plans God has
for your life are unfolding, and are indeed higher and superior to that of any
man alive. Your life goes through processes rather than at a standstill as the
devil would have you believe. The trouble you see today will be a thing of the
past tomorrow if you apply the wisdom of God to it and appreciate the fact that
your life is on God’s windmill (Exodus 14:14).

JESUS
IS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH
“The
Lord roars from Zion, and utters His voice from Jerusalem” (Amos 1:2)
Amos
3:8 says; “A lion has roared who will not
fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?” Jesus is the Lion of
the Tribe of Judah. The Lord is speaking special words to you today and in this
month when you shall experience the hand of God upon your life in a mighty way
if you care to heed the word of the Lord. When the Lord speaks concerning your
life it is important that you believe it but beyond believing, that you start
to prophesy the same to yourself. It is not enough to say; “I believe,” or “I
have faith.” Beloved, you are in a day to prophesy to yourself what must be.
You are in a time to recreate circumstances and situations with your mouth. Job
22:28 says; “You will also declare a thing, And it will be established
for you.” The time has come for you to be the last voice of opinion you
hear rather than everybody else around you. The time has come for you to take
yourself seriously and to take responsibilities for wrong decisions you make
yourself take. Yes, the time has come to take some risks. You are God’s
prophetic bride, and He desires to lead you day by day by His voice. You must
believe that you can hear His voice and be humble enough to test your hearing
in line with God’s word. Amos declared at the beginning of his prophecy; “The
Lord roars from Zion, and utters His voice from Jerusalem” (Amos 1:2).
God made His intention to dwell with, and amongst His people clear in scripture
so, it is not a surprise when Amos would prophesy; “The Lion roars from
Zion…” Jesus said His sheep know His voice. His voice is like the sound of
many waters (Revelation 1:15). The Lord speaks from amongst His people
and to His people so that they can continue in their destiny of ruling and
reigning on earth. The Lord speaks to His disciples to direct and guide them on
their path to fulfilling the Great Commission.
