PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK

By Leave a Comment

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS! 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine). 

FOR NO RAIN, MEANS NO RAINBOW — 
indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING HEAVEN IN OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS — 
and it is a MUST for you and I, who are the BELIEVING ONES, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

LET’S DO IT NOW AND NOT TOMORROW, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS and THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the world may OUTWEIGH the PANDEMIC of any sort. 

And many are dying, and will die, of STARVATION and from the INHUMANITY in displacements by wars, 
especially in a FAILED STATE ECONOMY. 

POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT are already ILLUMINATING throughout the world — 
and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within. 

The current atmosphere of challenges around us in human history KNOWS NO BOUNDS. 
And it is an AWAKENING, TIMELESS TIMELINE CALL to change the course and trajectory of our LIFE, FAMILY and NATION through PRAYERS. 

PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ — GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in THE GRACE. 

And knowingly and unknowingly, we are to BY PRAYER effect the changes we earnestly desire to take place. 
For PRAYER is the ANTIDOTE to personal, family, local, national and international ills! 

For our God WILL DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY as we pray in THE GRACE. 
For He is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS, and His doings are free of SENTIMENT, PREJUDICE and DISSIMULATION. 

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4. 

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: [35] but in EVERY NATION He that FEARETH [REVERENCE] him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with Him” Acts 10:34-35. 

I therefore EMPLOY YOU to ENDEAVOUR to make this awakening a PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL — a SET TASK. 

I DO BELIEVE it will TURN THE HEARTS of kings and leaders, and all in respective places of governance, to DO GOOD. 
Then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS ALIKE for all our uncontrollable human troubles. 

Knowing that they are HUMANS who are equally subject to natural causes and to changes beyond human control. 
And they are LIMITED in many phases, being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at the same time — which is often beyond their reach and sometimes hindered by SELF-CENTRED and SELFISH ENDS. 

There is the NEED TO BE AWAKENED to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a REMARKABLE ETERNAL EFFECT and the difference we care about in our earthly life, before our God, our community and humanity. 

It is OUR TIME to beckon on HEAVEN to intervene in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS, in order to make it GOOD BEYOND BORDERS AND WALLS OF DIFFERENCE. 

It is all about MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND IMPACT through PRAYERS, as it is written in the Holy Writ: 2 CHRONICLES 7:13-15 

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; 14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. 

“. . . [18] And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades (death) will not overpower it [by preventing the resurrection of the Christ]. [19] I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:18-19 [13-20]/Amplified. [Ephesians 1:22; 4:15; 5:23; Colossians 1:18] [Isaiah 22:22; Matthew 18:18] 

Herein is my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 in respect to why we need to earnestly pray to welcome Heaven into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world’s challenging and difficult times — as the Believing ones — the people who are called by God’s precious name. Amen. 

  • WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) — to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish towards growth.
  • WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) — invade, ruin and rule the land (personal and national economy).
  • WHEN PESTILENCE (Diverse kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) — invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science. 

Just know full well that NO RAIN means NO RAINBOW — and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS — and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS’ stead. 

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweigh the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just as SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally. 

DEAR FRIEND, KNOW FOR SURE THAT — PRAYER IS OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL AND SUPREME TASK — IT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine). 

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; 14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. 

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4. 

“Do not be ANXIOUS or WORRIED about anything, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that PEACE which] stands GUARD over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified. 

“CAST thy bread UPON the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 IF THE CLOUDS BE FULL OF RAIN, THEY EMPTY THEMSELVES UPON THE EARTH: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that OBSERVETH the wind shall not sow; and he that REGARDETH the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou KNOWEST not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do GROW in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou KNOWEST not the WORKS of God who maketh all. 6 In the morning SOW thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou KNOWEST not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” Ecclesiastes 11:1-6. 

Further Scripturally Reading Text: Isaiah 38:1-8; 

SUMMARY:  

The message is a prophetic, urgent charge for THE BELIEVING ONES in Christ Jesus’ stead. It teaches that in a season of WARS, ECONOMIC MELTDOWN, PANDEMIC, POVERTY and HUMAN DISPLACEMENT, the only true solution is to INVOLVE HEAVEN IN OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS THROUGH PRAYER. Prayer is not an option — it is the believer’s GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK. When we pray, we create the conditions for God to HEAR, FORGIVE, HEAL and TURN THE HEARTS OF LEADERS, so that what we once chased will now come to us. 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. The Biblical Mandate for Unceasing Prayer
  • Luke 18:1: MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT — not to lose heart, give up, or be weary. 
  • 1 Timothy 2:1-4: FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS be made for ALL MEN and for KINGS and AUTHORITY — so we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE. 
  • Philippians 4:6-7: In EVERYTHING by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, the PEACE of God will GUARD our hearts and minds.
  1. The Present Condition: “FOR NO RAIN, MEANS NO RAINBOW”
    The world is in crisis and this signals a need for prayer:
  • NO RAIN — PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP. People cannot thrive, blossom or flourish towards growth. 
  • LOCUSTS — Economic recessions and Austerity Measures that invade, ruin and rule personal and national economies. 
  • PESTILENCE — Diverse kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses despite medical advancement. 
    The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may OUTWEIGH the PANDEMIC and WARS. POVERTY, UNEMPLOYMENT, STARVATION and INHUMANITY are ILLUMINATING globally, even in failed state economies.
  1. The Divine Principle and Promise: 2 Chronicles 7:13-15
    When God shuts heaven, sends locusts or pestilence — the answer is not protest or panic.
    IF MY PEOPLE, WHICH ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, SHALL HUMBLE THEMSELVES, AND PRAY, AND SEEK MY FACE, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; THEN WILL I HEAR FROM HEAVEN, AND WILL FORGIVE THEIR SIN, AND WILL HEAL THEIR LAND. 
    God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS [Acts 10:34-35]. He WILL DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY as we pray in THE GRACE. 
     
  2. The Believer’s Authority and Assignment
  • Matthew 16:18-19: We have the KEYS of the kingdom — whatever we BIND on earth is bound in heaven, whatever we LOOSE is loosed. 
  • Ecclesiastes 11:1-6: In the morning SOW thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand — we must keep praying though we do not know the outcome. 
  • Our Task: To make this awakening a PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL — a SET TASK. 
    By PRAYER we effect changes and TURN THE HEARTS of kings and leaders to DO GOOD, so we stop blaming POLITICIANS for troubles beyond human capacity.
  1. The Goal: Eternity Intervening in Earth
    It is OUR TIME to beckon on HEAVEN to intervene in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS — to make it GOOD BEYOND BORDERS AND WALLS OF DIFFERENCE.
    PRAYER is the ANTIDOTE to ills for TODAY and TOMORROW. 

CALL TO ACTION: 

  1. LET’S DO IT NOW. NOT TOMORROW. The time to pray is urgent.
  2. ESTABLISH PRAYER WALLS. Make prayer a PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL and NATIONAL SET TASK.
  3. PRAY SCRIPTURALLY. 
    Pray for healing of the land 2 Chronicles 7:14
    Pray for kings and all in authority 1 Timothy 2:1-4. 
    Pray do not faint or grow weary Luke 18:1
  4. PRAY WITH THANKSGIVING. Present every circumstance to God [Philippians 4:6-7] and trust Him for PEACE that transcends understanding.
  5. SOW IN PRAYER CONSISTENTLY. Ecclesiastes 11:6 — Morning and evening, keep praying. You do not know which will prosper.
  6. SHARE AND MOBILISE. Call others to join the PRAYER WALL for our community, nation and humanity.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE 

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD! 

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east,they shall run to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall NOT FIND IT. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13. 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. 

Dear friend, are you living in a spiritual drought? Are you desiring the Word of the Lord that leads to daily salvation and deliverance [Romans 10:8-13] but it seems all you see around to feed from are fables, dogmas, sectarianism, traditions, methods, creeds, shows and self-created, denominationalised doctrines? [Matthew 15:1-6; 1 Peter 1:17-18] 

And worse, when you cannot find the principles of the Word and the process, instead you see craft, fraud and scams to extort you in the name of grace? [Philippians 1:15-18] 

It is time to do something about the drought of the hearing of God’s Word, for your own good, as an antidote to restore healthy spiritual sensitivity in the grace [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 1:18-20]. 

And you need to know that you cannot blame people or anyone for your spiritual drought when there are opportunities to be informed — as you are now reading — to safeguard against error and being mistaken in the faith. It is also to make you do something about your spiritual wellbeing in the grace, as you desire to do life and live godly by the WORD, in Christ Jesus. 

Your becoming for today and tomorrow is within your decision — and you need to make it happen in the grace, without blaming anyone. You have been given the opportunity in the grace to stop every form and signal of spiritual drought about you. 

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, I beg you — it will short-circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. 

There is nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE — be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme — scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfall and such like, of the basic necessity(ies) of life — e.g. FOOD — resulting in HUNGER, whose consequences are unprecedented fatalities. 

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6. 

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15. 

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible conditions when there is physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger because of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for anyone to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of this monster called — FAMINE. 

Unfortunately today, many do not fully know and realise that SPIRITUAL FAMINE does exist. And there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world. It could even be the DE FACTO cause of the physical condition we experience today as — INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION. 

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates NO SPIRITUAL FOOD, or insufficient and inadequate provision, resulting in severe hunger — leading to spiritual suffering and or death. NO FOOD means NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man — the spirit being. 

Man in HUMAN [Hu-Man] is a being, that is, a spirit being [subconscious place], has a soul [conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will] and lives in a body [physique, physical structure]. 

NO WORD for the human well-being means NO FAITH. And NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD of God [Romans 10:17], and with NO FAITH, none can PLEASE God [Hebrews 11:6], and not pleasing God makes one vulnerable to the enemy and cohorts against our faith in the grace [Proverbs 16:7]. 

And to live a life wherein God is not PLEASED with you, and rather, you cannot PLEASE God for lack of faith by the Word is sinful and has consequences [Romans 14:23]. And such consequences can be dire and result in fatalities just as physical hunger does [Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47]. SELAH — PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT! 

One of such consequences is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God, as a result of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE [1 Corinthians 1:9; Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11]. 

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there is no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULFIL such emptiness within [Luke 12:15]. 

And there is no scientific or medical act such as SCAN, X-RAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such like that can and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God has put a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit, with which in His infinite nature only He can relate to every being [Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4]. 

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE, as with PHYSICAL FAMINE, has consequences. And with RESOLUTION for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortlessly in grace [2 Chronicles 7:12-15]. For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS is RESOLVED for the good of all [Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47]. 

It is time to RESOLVE to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; firstly on a PERSONAL level and from other platforms and ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tend to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING [Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3]. 

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT — it will short-circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING in the grace. 

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. 

Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH. And the need to kick-start your own avenue on a personal level is now — TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD — in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or is intending, long before it gets to your vicinity [Amos 8:11-14]. 

It is time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and wellbeing with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world’s health and economy to a standstill and downward curve for a while now [1 Peter 5:8-11]. 

And when you feed healthily, our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And I will GIVE you pastors according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15. 

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men FAINT FOR THIRST. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14. 

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“Neither have I gone back from the COMMANDMENT of his lips; I have ESTEEMED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH more than my NECESSARY FOOD” Job 23:12. 

“Wherewithal shall a young man CLEANSE his way? by taking heed thereto ACCORDING to THY WORD . . . 105 Thy Word is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH . . .130 The ENTRANCE of THY WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” Psalms 119:9, 105, 130. 

“STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING [APPLYING] the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis Mine. 

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, MAKE YOU PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11. 

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT [COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED], throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17/Emphasis mine. 

“Thy WORDS WERE FOUND, and I did EAT them; and thy WORD was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts” Jeremiah 15:16. 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a prophetic alarm titled SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD! 
It contrasts physical famine with spiritual famine and warns that the greatest famine of our day is “not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD” Amos 8:11. The message teaches that a lack of the Word produces a lack of faith, which leads to spiritual death, captivity, vulnerability to the enemy, and even manifests as physical lack in individuals, families, and nations. The antidote is to personally and deliberately feed on the Word, build faith, and restore fellowship with God so that both spiritual and physical famine can be resolved in Christ Jesus. 

KEY POINTS 

  1. THE PROPHECY OF SPIRITUAL FAMINE IS FULFILLED TODAY
  • God warned of a day when there would be a famine “of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD”. People will run to and fro seeking the Word and not find it. Amos 8:11-13 
  • Error and spiritual destruction come from “not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 
  • “MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE” Hosea 4:6 “…GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE” Isaiah 5:13 
     
  1. SIGNS OF SPIRITUAL DROUGHT IN OUR TIME
  • Feeding on fables, dogmas, sectarianism, traditions, creeds, shows and self-created, denominationalised doctrines instead of the Word. Matthew 15:1-6; 1 Peter 1:17-18 
  • Craft, fraud and scams extorting people in the name of grace. Philippians 1:15-18 
  • The result: loss of healthy spiritual sensitivity. Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 1:18-20 
     
  1. WHAT SPIRITUAL FAMINE DOES TO MAN
  • Man is tripartite: spirit, soul and body. NO WORD = NO FOOD for the spirit. 
  • NO WORD = NO FAITH, NO FAITH = CANNOT PLEASE GOD [Hebrews 11:6]. CANNOT PLEASE GOD = VULNERABLE TO THE ENEMY [Proverbs 16:7]. This is sin and has consequences [Romans 14:23]. 
  • Consequences can be dire — spiritual suffering, death, captivity — just as physical hunger causes fatalities [Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47]. 
  • No meaningful nourishment or fulfilment. Wealth and possessions cannot fill the emptiness [Luke 12:15]. 
  • No fellowship with God, and therefore no enhancement of relationship with Him. Yet we are CALLED to fellowship, for therein is the PATH OF LIFE [1 Corinthians 1:9; Psalms 16:11]. 
     
  1. SPIRITUAL FAMINE AFFECTS THE PHYSICAL
  • Spiritual famine can be the DE FACTO cause of the physical conditions we face as INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION. 
  • With resolution to spiritual famine, physical famine can be resolved effortlessly in grace [2 Chronicles 7:12-15]. God will resolve famine of all sorts [Psalms 33:18-20; Genesis 26:1-14]. 
     
  1. THE WORD IS OUR FOOD, LIGHT AND DEFENCE
  • The Word is necessary food [Job 23:12], a lamp and light [Psalms 119:105, 130], and gives understanding to the simple. 
  • Faith comes by HEARING the Word [Romans 10:17]. We must study to show ourselves approved, rightly applying the Word [2 Timothy 2:15]. 
  • All Scripture is profitable to make the man of God PERFECT, complete, matured [2 Timothy 3:14-17]. 

CALL TO ACTION 

  1. RESOLVE TO FEED HEALTHILY ON THE WORD 
    “It is time to RESOLVE to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; firstly on a PERSONAL level and from other platforms and ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE.” 
    Esteem the Word more than necessary food [Job 23:12]. Eat it like Jeremiah [Jeremiah 15:16].
  2. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY — STOP BLAMING 
    “You cannot blame people or anyone for your spiritual drought when there are opportunities to be informed — as you are now reading.” 
    Your becoming for today and tomorrow is within your decision. Use the grace and opportunity given to stop every signal of spiritual drought.
  3. BUILD FAITH TO RESIST THE ENEMY 
    “Kick-start your own avenue on a personal level is now — TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD — in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH the FEAR of the monster…” [1 Peter 5:8-11] 
    Be sober, be vigilant. God of all grace will then make you perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you in life and grace in Christ Jesus.

AFD OCTOBER 2026

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER 2026: THE MONTH OF “OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL FAMINE IN THE GRACE!”

In the name of God the Father, Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, and the Blessed Holy Spirit, I welcome you to the MONTH OF OCTOBER in the year of the Lord 2026, in Christ Jesus’ stead, Amen. And this month of OCTOBER 2026 is entitled: “OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL FAMINE IN THE GRACE!” This is about Overcoming FAMINE – DROUGHT. FAMINE means both an extreme physical shortage in terms of food, water, clothing, shelter and other basic necessities of doing life. And FAMINE also means, more importantly, a spiritual separation from God in our living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus’ stead. And such an act of separation is the consequence of Sin. And separation from God results in: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH! 

The month of October is the second of the seven [7] months with thirty-one days in the twelve-month calendar of the year. The Month of October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. And the name October comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar in the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of NEW BEGINNING, signifying BLESSEDNESS which encompasses – WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE, FERTILITY and more of such like. 

And the month of October is normally the time of the year when farmers harvest their crops – indicating PRODUCTIVITY and ABUNDANCE. That, to me, is important, so that we can then ensure the assured BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus’ stead in our redemption. However, PRODUCTIVITY and ABUNDANCE are not always the case when there is a SPIRITUAL FAMINE, resulting in these effects: 

  • When the RAINS are withheld to destroy cultivation: growth, maturity and fruitfulness; 
  • When there is LOCUSTS’ invasion of the cultivated land by locusts to bring economic setbacks and meltdown; 
  • When there is PESTILENCE [SICKNESS AND DISEASE], whose impact is dire – epidermic and Pandemic – to human existence.  

“Then the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I have heard your PRAYER, and have CHOSEN this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up heaven and there is NO RAIN, or command the LOCUSTS to devour the land, or send PESTILENCE among My people, if My people who are CALLED by My name will HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY and SEEK My face, and TURN from their WICKED ways, then I will HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin and HEAL their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15/NKJV. 

So, in this Month OCTOBER 2026, God’s intent through the TEACHING and other format publications I will be presenting in respect to the theme context, is to bring about the SCRIPTURAL antidotes to help the Believers of God in Christ Jesus as you and me, on the how to “OVERCOME THE SPIRITUAL FAMINE IN THE GRACE, whose dire consequences can results the context of the Holy Writ of” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15. 

A lack of the needful RAIN to cultivate your vision, dream, plan-purpose-pursuit that can bring about Growth, maturity and fruitfulness will be telling – if not already – to someone reading this; And sometimes it is not the lack of RAIN that is the problem. It could be that there was or is RAIN, but the given vision, dream, plan-purpose-pursuit that was already going according to intended expectation is now invaded and attacked by the LOCUSTS of life, thereby affecting the expected productivity and sustainability; Or perhaps, the RAIN was good for cultivation and start-up, and there was no LOCUSTS invasion and attack on the business, but there was and is the pandemic/epidermic of PESTILENCE [DISEASE and SICKNESS] as have been experienced many times in human history. 

The picture painted by the various indicators above shows the consequences of SPIRITUAL FAMINE – that which mitigates our becoming in the grace, and to our state of doing life and living godly in the grace. Thus, it speaks to how it affects matters relating to our well-being in the business of life [vision, dream etc] and the entirety of the expected plan-purpose-pursuit that we crave after daily. And it i is in respect to knowing and understanding spiritual implications that invade and result in such physical effects, that the Apostles in Acts 11:27-30 were very ready to prepare. For the horse is prepared against the day of battle [Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 16:1-9/Amplified Classic Edition]; The Apostles of the early Church did not take for granted when they received such authentic prophecy by Prophet Agabus concerning FAMINE, to ensure that the assured prophetic word of God that was spoken was respected and never undermined with a doubtful spirit as some may. 

“We have also a MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: knowing this first, that no PROPHECY of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the PROPHECY came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21 

Therefore, as I welcome you to this Month of OCTOBER, I want you to follow through in this season the SCRIPTURAL path that is set, to help you “OVERCOME SPIRITUAL FAMINE IN THE GRACE” – to enable you HAVE RAIN, NO LOCUSTS and NO PESTILENCE, in your doing life and living godly in the grace. And OVERCOMING is by FAITH, and FAITH is by the WORD. And the FAMINE of the WORD is a SPIRITUAL FAMINE as it is written: 

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “That I will send a FAMINE on the land, Not a FAMINE of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of HEARING THE WORDS of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, And from north to east; They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord, But shall not find it. “In that day the fair virgins And strong young men Shall faint from thirst. Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, Who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan!’ And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives!’ They shall fall and never rise again” Amos 8:11-14/NKJV. 

The FAMINE of the HEARING OF THE WORD indicates a SPIRITUAL FAMINE, and that means NO FAITH, which indicates that FAITH becomes inactive – inoperative. And NO FAITH is SIN – meaning the absence of divine connectivity, as FAITH is the currency, spiritual legal tender and de facto, to have communion with the heavenly concerning earthly affairs in the Kingdom. And an inoperative Faith means inability to OVERCOME the system of ther world, to WIN in doing life and living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus as it is written: 

“And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23. 

“For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES the world. And this is the victory that has OVERCOME the world—our faith. Who is he who OVERCOMES the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5/NKJV. 

I pray that my God and your God in Christ Jesus will give you insight and foresight in the knowing and understanding of this month of October theme as entitled: “OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL FAMINE IN THE GRACE!” 

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “That I will send a FAMINE on the land, Not a FAMINE of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, And from north to east; They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord, But shall not find it. “In that day the fair virgins And strong young men Shall faint from thirst. Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, Who say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan!’ And, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives!’ They shall fall and never rise again” Amos 8:11-14/NKJV 

“For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES the world. And this is the victory that has OVERCOME the world—our faith. Who is he who OVERCOMES the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5/NKJV. 

“Then the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up heaven and there is NO RAIN, or command the LOCUSTS to devour the land, or send PESTILENCE among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15/NKJV. 

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. 20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You” Psalms 33:18-22/NKJV. 

“The Lord knows the days of the upright, And their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time, And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied” Psalms 37:18-19/NKJV 

“And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch. Then one of them, named Agabus, stood up and showed by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine throughout all the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius Caesar. Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren dwelling in Judea. This they also did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul” Acts 11:27-30/NKJV. 

SUMMARY 

The message is anchored on Acts 11:27-30 where Prophet Agabus foretold a GREAT FAMINE, and the early disciples responded by preparing and sending relief. 
Theme: “OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL FAMINE IN THE GRACE!” 
We are called to take prophecy seriously and prepare, just as the Apostles did. 

  1. UNDERSTANDING FAMINE — NATURAL AND SPIRITUAL

FAMINE means two things: 

  • Physical: Extreme shortage of food, water, clothing, shelter and basic necessities. 
  • Spiritual: Separation from God in living godly in the grace. The root is SIN. 
    Result of Spiritual Separation: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH 
  1. OCTOBER SIGNIFICANCE
  • Natural: October is harvest time — indicating PRODUCTIVITY and ABUNDANCE. 
  • Numeric: October was the 8th month. “Eight” spiritually means NEW BEGINNING — BLESSEDNESS: WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE, FERTILITY. 
  • God’s Desire: That we enter October to ensure the assured BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
  1. THE 3 MANIFESTATIONS OF SPIRITUAL FAMINE [2 Chronicles 7:12-15]

When there is SPIRITUAL FAMINE, productivity is blocked through: 

  1. NO RAIN — Lack to cultivate your vision, dream, plan-purpose-pursuit. No growth, maturity, fruitfulness. 
  2. LOCUSTS INVASION — What was growing gets attacked. Vision/business is invaded, affecting productivity and sustainability. 
  3. PESTILENCE — SICKNESS AND DISEASE. Epidemic and Pandemic that brings dire impact to human existence. 

These show the consequence of SPIRITUAL FAMINE which mitigates our becoming in grace and affects our well-being in life, business, and all we crave daily. 

  1. THE ROOT CAUSE & THE ANTIDOTE

Root: FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD [Amos 8:11-14] 

  • When we don’t hear the Word, we have NO FAITH. 
  • NO FAITH is SIN — absence of divine connectivity. 
  • FAITH is the currency and legal tender for communion with heaven concerning earthly affairs. 

Result of Inoperative Faith: Inability to OVERCOME the systems of the world. We cannot WIN in doing life and living godly in the grace [1 John 5:4-5, Romans 14:23]. 

God’s Antidote in 2 Chronicles 7:14: 
“if My people who are CALLED by My name will HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY and SEEK My face, and TURN from their WICKED ways, then I will HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin and HEAL their land.” 

  1. THE APOSTOLIC PATTERN

The Apostles did not take prophecy lightly. They DETERMINED, DID, and SENT relief. 
“For the horse is prepared against the day of battle” [Proverbs 21:31]. 
We too must prepare ahead of the famine. 

KEY POINTS TO HOLD 

  1. October is a month of NEW BEGINNING and BLESSEDNESS, but it requires spiritual vigilance.
  2. SPIRITUAL FAMINE is more dangerous than physical famine — it cuts off FAITH, our currency in the Kingdom.
  3. The 3 enemies are NO RAIN, LOCUSTS, PESTILENCE — they attack vision, progress, and health. 
  4. OVERCOMING is by FAITH, and FAITH is by the WORD. A famine of the Word produces a famine in life. 
  5. The early Church prepared when they heard prophecy. We must do the same. 

CALL TO ACTION FOR OCTOBER 2026 

  1. HUMBLE OURSELVES — Acknowledge our need for God and turn from every wicked way. 
  2. PRAY AND SEEK GOD’S FACE — Make prayer and the Word central this month. Don’t allow a famine of hearing. 
  3. FEED ON THE WORD DAILY — Build FAITH. Faith is what makes us OVERCOME the world, LOCUSTS, and PESTILENCE. 
  4. ACT IN OBEDIENCE — Like the disciples in Acts 11, determine to do what God is showing you for your life, family, and assignment.
  5. DECLARE AND BELIEVE: I WILL HAVE RAIN, NO LOCUSTS, AND NO PESTILENCE in my doing life and living godly in the grace this October.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD! 

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east,they shall run to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall NOT FIND IT. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13. 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. 

Dear friend, are you living in a spiritual drought? 

Are you desiring the Word of the Lord that leads to daily salvation and deliverance [Romans 10:8-13] but it seems all you see around to feed from are fables, dogmas, sectarianism, traditions, methods, creeds, shows and self-created denominational doctrines? [Matthew 15:1-6; 1 Peter 1:17-20] 

And worse, when you can’t find the principles of the Word and the process, instead you see craft, fraud and scams to extort you in the grace? [Philippians 1:15-18] 

It is time to do something about the drought of the hearing of God’s Word, for your own good — as an antidote to restore healthy spiritual sensitivity in the grace [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 1:18-20]. [famine] 

And you need to know that you can’t blame people or anyone about your spiritual drought when there are opportunities of being informed, as you are now reading, to safeguard against errors and being mistaken in the faith. Also, to make you do something about your spiritual well-being in the grace, as you desire to do life and live godly by the WORD, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

Your becoming for today and tomorrow is within your decision — and you need to make it happen in the grace without blaming anyone. You have been given the opportunity in the grace to stop every form and signal of spiritual drought about you. [famine] 

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, I beg you — it will short-circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

There is nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE — be it physical or spiritual. 

FAMINE is the extreme: scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the basic necessity of life — e.g. FOOD — resulting in HUNGER, whose consequences are unprecedented fatalities.  

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” [Hosea 4:6]. 

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” [Isaiah 5:13-15]. 

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible conditions when there is physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. 

Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for anyone to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of this monster called — FAMINE. 

Unfortunately today, many do not fully know and realize that SPIRITUAL FAMINE does exist. And there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world. It could even be the DE FACTO cause of the physical condition we experience today as INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION. 

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates NO SPIRITUAL FOOD, or insufficient and inadequate provision, resulting in severe hunger — leading to spiritual suffering and or death. 

NO FOOD means NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man — the spirit being. 

The man in HUMAN [Hu-Man] is a being, that is, a spirit being [subconscious place], has a soul [conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will] and lives in a body [physique, physical structure].  

A NO WORD for the human wellbeing means a NO FAITH. 
And a NO FAITH is consequential. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD of God [Romans 10:17], which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH — none can PLEASE God [Hebrews 11:6], and not pleasing God makes one vulnerable to the enemy and cohorts of our faith in the grace [Proverbs 16:7]. 

And to live a life wherein God is not PLEASED with you, and rather, you can’t PLEASE God for lack of faith by the Word is sinful and has consequences [Romans 14:23]. 
And such consequences could be dire and result in fatalities just as physical hunger does [Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47]. 

One of such consequences is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a result of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. 
It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH OF LIFE [1 Corinthians 1:9; Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11]. 

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULFIL such emptiness within [Luke 12:15]. 

And there is no scientific or medical act — as SCAN, X-RAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such like — that can and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. 
For God has put a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which, in His infinite nature, only He can sense every being [Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4]. 

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as with PHYSICAL FAMINE has consequences. 
And with RESOLUTION and an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortlessly in grace [2 Chronicles 7:12-15]. 
For GOD will ensure that FAMINE OF ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all [Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47]. 

It’s time to RESOLVE to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God — firstly on a PERSONAL level and from other platforms and ONLINE opportunities — in order to avoid FAMINE. 

More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tend to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING [Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3]. 

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT — it will short-circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING in the grace. 

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. 

Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH. And the need to kick-start your own avenue on a personal level is now — to THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or is intending, long before it gets to your vicinity [Amos 8:11-14]. 

It’s time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and wellbeing with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world’s health and economy to a standstill and downward curve for a while now [1 Peter 5:8-11]. 

And when you feed healthily, our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect — complete, whole, full — establish, strengthen and settle you in life and grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And I will GIVE you pastors according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15. 

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men FAINT FOR THIRST. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14. 

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“Neither have I gone back from the COMMANDMENT of his lips; I have ESTEEMED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH more than my NECESSARY FOOD” Job 23:12. 

“Wherewithal shall a young man CLEANSE his way? by taking heed thereto ACCORDING to THY WORD . . . 105 Thy Word is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH . . .130 The ENTRANCE of THY WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” Psalms 119:9, 105, 130. 

“STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING [APPLYING] the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis Mine. 

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, MAKE YOU PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11. 

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT [COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED], throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17/Emphasis mine. 

“Thy WORDS WERE FOUND, and I did EAT them; and thy WORD was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts” Jeremiah 15:16. 

SUMMARY: 
From the message we learnt that spiritual famine is real, dangerous, and already happening. It is a drought of hearing the pure Word of God [Amos 8:11-13]. Just as physical famine destroys the body, spiritual famine destroys faith, fellowship, purpose, and destiny. The only antidote is to personally and intentionally FEED on the Word of God to build faith and resist the enemy. 

KEY POINTS OF THE MESSAGE 

  1. THE REALITY OF SPIRITUAL FAMINE [Amos 8:11-14]

God warned of a coming famine — “not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD” [Amos 8:11-13]. 
People will run to and fro seeking the Word and not find it. The result is young men and women fainting for thirst. 
Jesus also warned: “Ye do ERR, not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” [Matthew 22:29]. 

  1. SIGNSYOUARE IN SPIRITUAL DROUGHT 
    Wrong Feeding: Feeding on fables, dogmas, sectarianism, traditions, creeds, shows, and self-created denominational doctrines [Matthew 15:1-6; 1 Peter 1:17-20]. 
    Exploitation: Instead of principles and process of the Word, you see craft, fraud and scams to extort in the name of grace [Philippians 1:15-18]. 
    No Growth: Lack of healthy spiritual sensitivity, knowledge and understanding [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 1:18-20]. 

You cannot blame others. The opportunity to be informed is before you now. Your becoming today and tomorrow is your decision in the grace.  

  1. WHY SPIRITUAL FAMINE IS DEADLY

FAMINE means scarcity, lack, insufficiency, impoverishment. Physically it leads to hunger and death, spiritually it is worse. 

NO WORD = NO FAITH 
“FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” [Romans 10:17]. 
With no faith, you cannot PLEASE God [Hebrews 11:6], and you become vulnerable to the enemy [Proverbs 16:7]. Living without pleasing God is sinful and has consequences [Romans 14:23]. 

NO FELLOWSHIP = NO RELATIONSHIP 
We are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH OF LIFE [1 Corinthians 1:9; Psalms 16:11]. 
Without the Word, there is no meaningful nourishment or fulfilment [Luke 12:15]. 

DESTRUCTION & CAPTIVITY 
“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE” [Hosea 4:6]. 
“MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE” [Isaiah 5:13-15]. 

SPIRITUAL MALNOURISHMENT 
Man is spirit, has a soul, and lives in a body. God put ETERNITY in the human spirit [Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified; Proverbs 20:27]. No wealth, science, or medicine can feed that emptiness. Only the Word can.
THE SOLUTION: RESOLVE TO FEED ON THE WORD

Spiritual famine must be answered first. When spiritual famine is resolved, even physical famine can be resolved in grace [2 Chronicles 7:12-15; Psalms 33:18-20; Genesis 26:1-14]. 

HOW TO RESPOND NOW: 

PERSONAL FEEDING: Give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD on a personal level [Job 23:12; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3]. 

RIGHT TEACHING: God will give pastors after His heart to FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING [Jeremiah 3:15]. 

STUDY & APPLICATION: “STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that… RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of truth” [2 Timothy 2:15]. 
Scripture is PROFITABLE for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction [2 Timothy 3:14-17]. 

STEADFAST RESISTANCE: Feed your spirit to “RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH” against the fear and attacks of the enemy [1 Peter 5:8-11; Amos 8:11-14]. The Word is a LAMP, LIGHT, and UNDERSTANDING [Psalms 119:9, 105, 130]. 

  1. THE PROMISE

When you feed healthily on the living Word, God of all wisdom, speed and love will “MAKE YOU PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU” [1 Peter 5:8-11]. Complete, whole, and furnished for every good work. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS FOR PONDERING 

  1. Jeremiah 3:15 — God will give pastors to FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 
  2. Amos 8:11-14 — The famine of hearing the Word is coming. People will faint for thirst. 
  3. Romans 10:17 — FAITH comes by HEARING the WORD. 
  4. Job 23:12 — Esteem God’s Words more than necessary food. 
  5. Psalms 119:105, 130 — The Word is LAMP, LIGHT, and gives UNDERSTANDING. 
  6. 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:14-17 — Study, be approved, and be thoroughly furnished. 
  7. 1 Peter 5:8-11 — Resist the devil steadfast in faith. God will perfect and settle you. 
  8. Jeremiah 15:16 — “Thy WORDS WERE FOUND, and I did EAT them. 

FINAL CHARGE: 
Don’t die of spiritual hunger. The Word is food. Feed yourself daily, build your faith, and you will not faint when famine comes.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall NOT FIND IT. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

Dear friend, are you living in a spiritual drought? Are you desiring for the Word of the Lord that leads to daily salvation and deliverance [Romans 10:8-13] but it seems all you see around to feed from are fables, dogmas, sectarianism, traditions, methods, creeds, shows and self-created denomination doctrines? – [Matthew 15:1-6; 1 Peter 1:17-20]. And worst, when you can’t find the principles of the word and the process, instead you see craft, fraud and scams to extort you in the grace? – [Philippians 1:15-18].

It’s time to do something about the drought [famine] of the hearing of God’s word, for your own good as an antidote to restore a healthy spiritual sensitivity in the grace – [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 1:18-20]. And you need to know that you can’t blame people or anyone about your spiritual drought when there’s opportunities of being informed as you are now reading, to safeguard errors and being mistaken in the faith; and also, to make you do something about your spiritual wellbeing in the grace, as you desired to do life and live godly by  the WORD, in Christ Jesus stead. Your becoming for today and tomorrow are within your decision – and you need to make it happen in the grace without blaming anyone with your given opportunity in the grace to stop any form and signal of spiritual drought [famine] about you.

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, I beg you – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the necessity(ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of these monsters called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately, today, many don’t fully know and realise that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE does exist; and there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN [Hu-Man] is a being, that is, a spirit being [subconscious place], have a soul [conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will] and live in a body [physique, physical structure].

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – [Romans 10:17], which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – [Hebrews 11:6], and not pleasing God makes one vulnerable to the enemy and cohorts of  our faith in the grace [Proverbs 16:7]. And to live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you, and rather, you can’t PLEASE God for lack of faith by the word is sinful and has consequences – [Romans 14:23]. And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – [Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47]. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT!

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a results of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – [1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11].

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – [Luke 12:15]. And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can, and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. [Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4].

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – [2 Chronicles 7:12-15]. For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – [Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47].

It’s time to RESOLVE to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – [Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3].

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING in the grace.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – [Amos 8:11-14].

Its time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – [1 Peter 5:8-11]. And when you feed healthily, our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

DO YOU THIRST AND HUNGER FOR GOD’S BEST: HIS ENABLING GRACE TO BECOME WILL ABOUND TOWARDS YOU!

“BLESSED are they which do HUNGER and THIRST after RIGHTEOUSNESS: for they shall be FILLED (SATISFIED)” Matthew 5:6 (Emphasis Mine).

Do you really thirst and hunger for the best of God in your life? There’s hope and answers. For God’s best is found in His RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Meaning if you wants to unlock God’s best, you need to earnestly desire, that is, to thirst and hunger for His done deed of RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus for you – that will usher you to all things that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS.

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we MIGHT be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Today, you may be at the edges and turning pages of your life with the challenges about you thinking if there’s still hope in this life; am hear to say to you that that it could also be the turning day of your life into the realm of the Spirit of God for your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. The realm of the realm of the Spirit of God is that realms of grace that opens the doors of inspiration, revelation and empowerment. The realm to enable you to THRIVE and ACHIEVE greater heights, and to take on all it takes to live, do life and accomplish all you earnestly desire towards SUCCESS and FULFILMENT.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man THIRST, let him COME unto me, and DRINK.  38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.  39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“And God is ABLE to make ALL grace ABOUND toward you; that ye, ALWAYS having all SUFFICIENCY in ALL things, may ABOUND to EVERY good work” 2 Corinthians 9:8.

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION: It’s The MARK of GRACE, GODLINESS And GODLY LIVING!

“Yea, and ALL that will LIVE GODLY in Christ Jesus shall suffer PERSECUTION” 2 Timothy 3:12.

“But let NONE OF YOU SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a Christian, let him NOT BE ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God on this behalf” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

For some, the subject of – PERSECUTION, REJECTION, DESPITE, TRIALS – of their FAITH and the SUFFERING for – their FAITH, in Christ Jesus should not be MARRIED together with good deeds that are promised in the GOSPEL; and I have grown to know that the known beautiful and lovely ROSE FLOWERS gives such gracious fragrance, aroma and lovely scent and more, are not without THORNS from where they are plucked to offer as love gesture. It’s because I have bought lots for my dear and lovely sweet wife over time to know it well too.

In same scenario, the Christian FAITH journey is MARKED with PERSECUTION, DESPITE, REJECTION and such like, even in the midst of the GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS and LOVINGKINDNESS and GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE. So in the midst of God’s BEAUTY and COLOUR, there can be challenging time, PERSECUTION and the SUFFERING for your good FAITH by those who have mistaken, misconstrued and misunderstood you for your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

The Scriptures thus indicates that all who might choose GODLY LIVING in this world ahead of the world to come, MUST suffer PERSECUTION – that is, to be persecuted, despite, rejected and such like. [2 Timothy 3:10-12/Amplified]. Meaning, you don’t have to avoid or abandon your glorious and precious FAITH of beauty and colour in Christ Jesus, just because of the PERSECUTION, which many unfortunately have ignored to hold unto and have walked away to avoid been PERSECUTED as such.

The first early DISCIPLES – FOLLOWERS – of Christ Jesus once questioned our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in this context of their FAITH, in order to ascertain and to know if there is/are any gain in following Christ Jesus stead towards God; Christ Jesus hesitated not to inform them of the GOOD, GOODNESS and REWARD of following the cause and course of the Gospel. And He equally informed them of one major truth – that PERSECUTION is part of the marked set in the following of Him in God to fulfil PURPOSE. [Mark 10:28-30; Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:28-30].

Apostle Paul, the endowed writer of more than half of the New Testament epistles, did charged, admonished and exhorted in many of His writings, especially the writ in Romans 8:35-39, of the essence of PERSECUTION; and how that should not deter one essence, to get glued to the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead. He reckoned that the suffering or challenges that are as a result of PERSECUTION can’t be COMPARED to the GLORY to be REVEALED in us all who draw not back – that is, back away from our continual FAITH in following the cause of God in Christ Jesus.

“For I reckon that the SUFFERINGS of this PRESENT TIME are not WORTHY to be COMPARED with the GLORY which shall be REVEALED in us” Romans 8:18.

I urge you TODAY and NOW, to keep holding on steadfastly in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead no matter what does appear to challenge your FAITH and all you seem to be going through at present, in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. I will be cautioned in the light of Apostle Peter epistle, that when you do suffer in PERSECUTION as if you an evil DOER when you are not, do REJOICE in Christ Jesus for such is of the Kingdom of God. Meaning, let it not be that your suffering acclaimed as PERSECUTION is not what you’ve CREATED out and or caused of your self doing as an EVIL DOER – for that WORTH no benefit at all in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Peter 4:15-16; 1 Peter 3:13-18; 1 Peter 2:19-23].

“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14 But and if ye SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE, HAPPY ARE YE: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that FALSELY ACCUSE YOUR GOOD CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, THAT YE SUFFER FOR WELL DOING, THAN FOR EVIL DOING. 18 For Christ also hath once SUFFERED for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit” 1 Peter 3:13-18/Emphasis Mine.

“For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, SUFFERING WRONGFULLY. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 FOR EVEN HEREUNTO WERE YE CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW HIS STEPS: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; WHEN HE SUFFERED, HE THREATENED NOT; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY” 1 Peter 2:19-23.

“Now you have diligently followed [my example, that is] my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11 PERSECUTIONS, and SUFFERINGS—such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, but the Lord rescued me from them all! 12 Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are DETERMINED TO LIVE GODLY LIVES in Christ Jesus will be HUNTED AND PERSECUTED [because of their faith]” 2 Timothy 3:10-12/Amplified.

“Peter started saying to Him, “Look, we have given up everything and followed You [becoming Your disciples and accepting You as Teacher and Lord].” 29 Jesus said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there is no one who has given up a house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms—along with PERSECUTIONS; and in the age to come, eternal life” Mark 10:28-30/Amplified.

“Blessed are they which are PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall REVILE you, and PERSECUTE you, and shall say all manner of EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” Matthew 5:10-12.

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 WHEREIN I SUFFER TROUBLE, AS AN EVIL DOER, EVEN UNTO BONDS; BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND. 10 Therefore I ENDURE all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” 2 Timothy 2:8-10.

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the love of Christ? shall TRIBULATION, or DISTRESS, or PERSECUTION, or FAMINE, or NAKEDNESS, or PERIL, or SWORD? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; (for he is faithful that promised;) . . . 35 CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 BUT WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

“Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; ONLY LEST THEY SHOULD SUFFER PERSECUTION FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision AVAILETH any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:11-16.

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK

By Leave a Comment

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

FOR A NO RAIN, MEANS A NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY THROUGH PRAYERS ON OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you and I, who are the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s do it now and not tomorrow, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS AND THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECT in the world may outweighs the PANDEMIC of any sorts and many are dying and will die of starvation and others of the inhumane in the displacements by wars, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating throughout the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within.

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS TIMELINE calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in the grace, knowingly and unknowingly.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are human’s who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centred and selfish ends sometimes.

There’s the need to be awaken to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference.  It’s all about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE;  14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

Herein is my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 with respect to why we need to earnestly pray to give and welcome the heavenly into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world’s challenging and difficult times – as the  Believing ones – God’s precious name calls the people. Amen.

* WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish toward growth.

* WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) invades, ruined and rules the land (personal and national economy).

* WHEN PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.

Just know full well that NO RAIN means a NO RAINBOW – and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS stead.

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweighs the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just like SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally.

DEAR FRIEND, KNOW FOR SURE THAT PRAYER IS OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL AND SUPREME TASK – IT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD?

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD” Amos 8:11.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

Living in spiritual drought? It’s time to do something about it. Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead.

There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the basic necessity(ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a results of these monster called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately today, many don’t fully know and realise that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE do exist; and there are implications of it’s existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN (Hu-Man) is a being, that is, a spirit being (subconscious place), have a soul (conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will) and live in a body (physique, physical structure).

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – (Romans 10:17), which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – (Hebrews 11:6). To live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you or rather you can’t PLEASE God has consequences – (Romans 14:23). And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – (Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47).

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a results of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – (1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11).

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – (Luke 12:15). And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4).

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – (2 Chronicles 7:12-15). For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – (Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47.

It’s time to RESOLVED to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – (Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3).

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – (Amos 8:11-14).

Its time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – (1 Peter 5:8-11). And when you feed healthily our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

FOR NO RAIN, MEANS  NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY THROUGH PRAYERS ON OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you and I, who are the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s do it now and not tomorrow, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS AND THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the world may outweighs the PANDEMIC of any sorts and many are dying and will die of starvation and others of the inhumane in the displacements by wars, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating through out the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within.

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS TIMELINE calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in the grace, knowingly and unknowingly.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are human’s who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centered and selfish ends sometimes.

There’s the need to be awaken to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference.  It’s all about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE;  14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

Herein it’s my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 in respect to why we need to earnestly prayer to give and welcome the heavenly into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world challenging and difficult times – as the Believing ones – the people are called by God’s precious name. Amen.

* WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish toward growth.

* WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) invades, ruined and rules the land (personal and national economy).

* WHEN PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.

Just know full well that NO RAIN means a NO RAINBOW – and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS stead.

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweighs the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just as SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally.

DEAR FRIEND, KNOW FOR SURE THAT –

PRAYER IS OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL AND SUPREME TASK – IT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.

“CAST thy bread UPON the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 IF THE CLOUDS BE FULL OF RAIN, THEY EMPTY THEMSELVES UPON THE EARTH: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that OBSERVETH the wind shall not sow; and he that REGARDETH the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou KNOWEST not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do GROW in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou KNOWEST not the WORKS of God who maketh all. 6 In the morning SOW thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou KNOWEST not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” Ecclesiastes 11:1-6.
