Year_end 2002

Events occuring at various parts of the nations has the tendency to draw away our focus from the Lord and unto the main characters involved in these events. We are being challenged these days not to forget the sovereignty of God. He is still in control of everything even of the heart and mind of world leaders. "The king's heart is in the hands of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases." (Proverb 21:1)

This is not the time to look around at what others are doing but to look deep within our hearts even at the history of our nations. Like Daniel, we need to come before the Lord and confess the sins that our forefathers and our generations has committed against the Lord. (Daniel 9:3-4)

In this book we will find a lists of the transgressions that nations has committed against each other and against the Lord. Many of these sins have also been committed in our generations and times. Unless we too acknowledge our transgression and repent of them and be willing to make restitution on behalf of our family, cities or nations. We too will not be spared from God's coming discipline and judgement.

Any actions taken that is dependent upon human abilities or national strenght and wisdom will come to naught. God will prove to the nations the reality of His word that " IT IS NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY POWER BUT BY HIS SPIRIT" (Zechariah 4:6) that real victory can be achieved.

Just like Peter walking in water, so the coming days will be days of walking BY FAITH for most of God's people. We must trust God's heart and beware of judging by what we see. For no matter what happens around us , we need to press in and acknowledge and know that OUR GOD IS WITH US IN THIS JOURNEY. HE WILL NOT ABANDON HIS CHURCH AND WE WILL NOT FAIL.

For those who have been faithful in following God's leading in their lives, the coming days will be filled with glorious manifestations of God's power and presence. You will begin to see the Lord opening ways for you in manner that you have not expected so that His plans and purposes will be fulfilled.

The Lord will once more raise up modern day Cyrus from all level of society, and these will be called by God to serve the needs of His people in the work that He has assigned to them. Their resources will be offered to God's people for God's work and for His kingdom purposes.

Just like Joseph, the involvement of God's chosen ones in this time will not be limited to the direct preaching of God's word but will primarily be focus in work of services or business that will have positive impact upon the society, cities or nations where they are living. They will shine where they are planted by the Lord. Their skills, talents, will be recognized by those around them and they will be called to share their talents in these latter days. This honor will once more be given back to God's people.

We can expect great spiritual opposition and will experience the enemy intensifying His attack but on the other hand we will also see God's power made manifest in greater measure in the midsts of these two opposing forces being unleashed in our midsts. We must not be surprised as God's people to see bad and unpleasant things taking place around us. In all these, God will ultimtately work out all things for good and for His purposes as He has promised us in His word.

The days ahead will be precarious. We cannot afford to be complacent nor rely on the ways that we used to do things . Anything can change in a moment and we need to stay in tune with God's leading as He gives us directions and instructions from moment to moment. Events that has taken placed from the books of Acts and many more will be repeated in our times . These occurences will not be limited to one city alone but will be taking place simultaneously in many cities and even nations around the world.

God's marching order is about to be given out. Those who have prepared their lives for this time will not be taken by surprise as they see the prophesies and promises they have received and have been nurturing begin to come to past.
