FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO READ AND DISCUSS-BE CIVIL PLEASE

These are days that the Lord wants to teach principalities and power His manifold wisdom, the days Prophet Joel says:

“Proclaim this among the nations

Prepare for war

Wake up the mighty men

Let all the men of war draw near

Let them come up

Beat your plowshares into swords

And your pruning hooks unto spears

Let the weak say ‘I am strong.’”

(Joel 3:9-10)

These are the days of Joshua and Caleb, Jehu, Gideon and Deborah Company-men and of valor who will go on the offensive against the kingdom of darkness to reclaim our lands for our soon coming KING so that the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ.

These are days the church of God needs to deal decisively with the gods of the lands in order to reap large harvests of souls for our God who is fed up of people playing church, religious people who “have a form of godliness but deny its power”.

I believe God is “nauseated” with people who are not bold to confront the powers of darkness but will rather have social meetings in church without any manifestation of power

These are days God is searching for a company of people who will prepare the way of the LORD and make straight in the desert a highway for our GOD where every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill will be made low, crooked places will be made straight and rough places plain so that the glory of the LORD might be revealed.

These are days that the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

These are days God is recruiting warriors who will refuse to entangle themselves with the affairs of this world that they might please Him who enlisted them as soldiers. He wants to give His warriors, treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places.

If you would like to be a part of this exciting company of warriors the LORD is raising in these last days, WELCOME ABOARD. We have the victory for the commander of the Host who has never and can never lose the battle, for the battle has been won 2,000 years ago on the cross of Calvary.

WATER: IT’S IMPORTANCE IN CREATION

The importance of water to man cannot be overemphasized and this is why the Holy Spirit commissioned this assignment.

From the under-listed information, the reader will begin to understand how important water is to man and to God:

1. Before creation, the entire surface of the earth was covered with water. In other words, before the heavens and earth were created, all of creation was filled with water (Gen. 1: 1-10). Water existed before every other creation of God! It was from water that the earth was formed (Gen. 1:8) and the scriptures affirm that the whole earth was founded upon the waters.

“The earth is the LORD’s,

and the fulness thereof; the world,

and they that dwell therein”

For He hath founded it upon the seas,

and established it upon the floods”

(Ps. 24:1-2).

2. Doctors and scientists confirm that 70% of human body weight consists of water.

3. 72% of present world surface is water.

4. Man needs water for everything. He can survive without food for up to two or three weeks but cannot survive without water for the same period. For man, water is needed for: Drinking, Bathing, Washing/General cleaning, Cooking, Farming, and Medicare in hospitals.

5. Water exists in the form of rains, streams, lakes, rivers and oceans.

6. The Bible also says the foundation of the whole earth is upon the waters.

“You who laid the foundations of the earth

so that it should not be moved forever,

you covered it with the deep as with agarment,

the waters stood above the mountains.” (Ps. 104:5-6)

7. God’s throne itself is upon the waters. This shows the importance God himself attaches to water.

“The voice of the LORD is

over the water;

The God of glory thunders;

The LORD is over many waters.

The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood,

And the LORD sits as King Forever”

(Ps. 29:3, 10).

WARFARE TRANSFERRED INTO THE WATERS (SEA)

God in His sovereignty and infinite wisdom gave so much prominence to water in creation as seen in the above-stated scriptures and information. Satan, on the other hand, who used to be the number one angel and who was created as Lucifer, is forever trying to copy and imitate the true things of God.

In his position as the number one angel, Lucifer was the ruler of the earth before the creation of man. He ruled the pre-Adamite world when there was no visible landmass, and the world was covered with water. It was for this reason that in the recreation, God said: “… and let the dry land appear ….” (Gen. 1:9).

Then, Lucifer fell from this exalted position of being the number one angel, next to the Trinity through pride and rebellion. His fall is revealed in scriptures.

“How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?” (Is 14 12-17).

“And He (Jesus) said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven” (Luke 10:18).

“And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads…. And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought and war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Revelation 12: 3, 7-9).

Again, the fall of Lucifer was expressed in Ezekiel 28: 12-19. When Lucifer had fallen and had been cast out of heaven, he was overthrown and cast into the earth and the seas. At his overthrow, the host of heaven declared in a loud voice.

“… Rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them!

Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea!

For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath,

because he knows that he has a short time” (Rev 12:12, emphasis mine).

Heavens rejoiced but that was the beginning of the problem of the earth and the seas because the one who troubled them in heaven had been cast to the earth and the seas!

Since he had been overthrown, Satan, meaning adversary, had been attempting to thwart and stop God’s plan to bring peace unto His kingdom.

After the first prophecy in Genesis 3:15 that God will use the seed of the woman to bruise the head of Satan and destroy his kingdom, he (Satan) began to look for the Man that fulfills the prophecy so as to destroy Him.

The first attempt was to try and pollute the human race through fallen angels whom he commissioned to assume the form of humans and marry women. This was to destroy the seed of mankind (Gen. 6) by introducing the sins of fornication, idolatry and homosexuality. This “satanically-induced marriage” succeeded in producing giants through sexual intercourse between these fallen angels and women on earth.

However, God had a remnant in Noah who was not corrupted, himself and his household. Through Noah and his righteousness, God was able to preserve His plan to redeem the earth from the dark kingdom. Through Noah God preserved a remnant (eight people) in the entire human race.

Again, Satan tried desperately to pollute and destroy the human race through the sins of drunkenness and cursing, but God preserved a remnant in Abram, established a covenant with him and brought the Messiah, Jesus Christ through his lineage. The complete genealogy of Jesus was traced in Matthew 1. The main purpose why Jesus came is to do the will of His father and to destroy the works of the Dark Kingdom (1 Jn. 3:8).

Now, all power and authority in heaven and earth is still vested in Christ Jesus but it is to be manifested through His body, the church. This is the day and age when His body should arise from slumber and begin to exercise authority offensively over the kingdom of darkness.

We are not supposed to be harassed by the devil and be on the defensive but since our master, Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, we ought to be an army aggressively raiding and destroying the dark kingdom in our lives, in the lives of our family members and relations, in our communities, cities and our world.

Jesus assured us and said, “the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church” (Matt 16:18). When Jesus said, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven.” He was saying to the Church, “You will have all the available resources in Heaven at your disposal.”

Would Jesus have said this if He wanted us to eagerly struggle through life and merely look forward to the rapture as a means of escape from the world?

No! He expects us to enforce His victory by exercising the authority He has given us to defeat Satan in our lives and in our world, so that the kingdoms of this world might become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ.

BACK TO THE INFLUENCE OF WATERS

With 72% of the earth’s surface covered by water, Satan decided in his rebellion to build his power base in the waters. His “secretariat” is in the heavenlies where the powers and principalities supervise satanic oppression of territories, cities and nations but his “operational base” is in the waters.

Since the foundation of the earth is on the water (Ps. 104:5-6) and the whole earth was founded upon the waters (Ps. 24:1-2), Satan also decided the best place to pitch his kingdom’s power base is in the waters,because he likes to counterfeit everything God doe
