Dearest beloved, it has been a while!
I hope you have finally caught the prayer fire that started since April.
Well, I did and I have been sustaining it.
Some weeks back I was having a conversation with a sibling. My prophetic word for the second quarter was his prophetic word for the fourth quarter. It was surprising to both of us but it also shows how seasons are connected and God is truly in the neighborhood.
Speaking of seasons, Groundnut is in season. I am excited about eating boiled groundnut and as you can imagine I have been drinking garri often.
Nevertheless, it is not gossiping season. Just like groundnut. Some processes are required to enjoy it after harvesting. From washing, salting, sunning and frying or boiling depending on. your preference. These processes can be described with one word PRUNING.
Yes! It is pruning season. Everybody at work doesn't hate you. You are not the problem in your service unit neither are you the black sheep of the family. I know some frequent mistakes keep making you look at a black sheep. You are not the problem.
God is pruning you for what he has prepared for you and for some of us. Pruning means using discomfort to push you out of your comfort zone into destiny.
God has not forsaken you!
He has not forgotten you!
He is pruning you!
Look at Jonah, for example, God caused discomfort on his ship to prune him from the boat to Ninevah. Joseph had also gotten so comfortable in his father's house that God used his brothers to Prune him to Egypt and even in Egypt he was pruned from Portia’s house to prison and later to the palace. At every point when Joseph got comfortable with his level, there was a pruning to move him into his next.
Pruning is a system that God uses to try, filter, purify, or destabilize us in the direction of destiny by highlighting little foxes, causing us to identify character flaws. or show us a bigger future from a seemingly insignificant experience.
Every quarter of this year is very significant. For some people, this letter will be most relevant in the last quarter of the year. For others, this is a reminder, confirmation and warning to be pruned (in the way it relates to your context).
Sometimes prophecies have gone ahead of us but we are scared to make a decision so God show us mercy by using pruning to give us a push in the direction of destiny.
This is the last month of this quarter and it is crucial to position you for what is coming? You may ask, what is coming? From the next quarters your babies will be visibly here. Yes, we are entering that season. Discern your cue and the reason for the pruning and move!
Think of pruning as an advanced test, like an exam (You can read QUANTUM to recall on what I said about tests under Faith VS Fear). In this season pruning is God's way to separate saints and prepare them for what he has prepared for them.
The third quarter will make a new wave of global announcements. Where nations, sectors and industries will be taken. It will be so defining that life in 2024 will be defined as before and after Q3. It is a period that will be marked by BOLD BEGINNINGS!
The spiritual and physical realm are so thin apart from each other because Kairos and Cronos are aligning. It is so sunny yet you can almost see the gloominess in an atmosphere.
In this season communicate with God with the language that is unique to your relationship with him. You will be amazed by the results.
It will be unfair for me to end today's letter without communicating God's heart with you. God is angry! He is angry about a number of things in the body and Judgement is coming. I will speak on a particular class.
Judgement is coming on a group of priests that have been stealing his money. I saw judgement come from both sides (left and right) in a way that it was visible to all. People said "God burnt them". Teeth Gnashed at the sight! mouths were numb! eyes communicated fear and awe! Only the thoughts of heart could be heard. "The fear of the Lord" was the popular description. It looked like a crime scene of wonder. Nobody was willing to talk about the way the judgement was distilled. "The fear of the Lord" was all the priest who witnessed it could say.
God wants to be known as merciful and as "I am". This is part of the reasons why this season of pruning is important. It is not in the conference, nor in the events, neither in the long prayer meetings, but in the closets, STAY!
He is also building an army that will carry his power as of old not only to heal and wrought wonders but also to command signs.
I will end by saying this. Elijah was amazing! God wrought wonders through him and there will be young Elijah's. Regardless, some of us are like fine wine. We become better for the service of the Lord as we age not because we are sinners but in order with his plans and in line with his destiny. So stay hidden for that long.
He is preparing you for a season and time that is yet to exist while it is yet to exist.
If I offer you give you 100 kilos of tomatoes, you will come with a basket to collect them. If I offer to give you rice, you will come with sack bags and If I offer to give you sauce, you will come with Jars.
Buy Jars, so you will not borrow. God is preparing to bless you. How are you preparing to receive it. We have established that is our year or occupying and dominion but how are you preparing for your appointments. The third quarter is closer than you know and it will move faster than you can imagine. 7 months will be like 7 weeks and 7 weeks like 7 days, 7 days like 7 hours, 7 hours like 7 seconds.
Buy Jars sounds similar to Buy Wisdom. You buy Jars by buying Wisdom. How do you buy Wisdom? 2024 Modus Operandi. Contrary to how the first half of the year has gone, the next half will be largely defined by wisdom. Do you know that God told Solomon he will be richest man that will ever live on the planet but not the wisest? But we have left wisdom for the heathens because we think the promise made to Solomon was regarding both wealth and riches. Now you have a heads-up, go and buy Jars
Read 2 chronicles 1:11&12 The fear of the Lord births wisdom like you will be reminded of in Modus Operandi but there is also a realm that comes from meditation. Joshua 1:8, You take a verse, or phrase and meditate on it in context.
Recently when I feel nervous or agitated I just take a shower, drink water or play with water. Water helps with meditation and calmness. Psalm 23:2b (There is a reason why you get ideas and inspiration in the bathroom). Please don’t start worshiping water oh!
May was such a beautiful month for me. I spent it soaking in new oil and enjoying God’s presence and downloading. Many battles were fought and won. Glory to God! It was indeed a month of refreshing. Sometimes God can be silent. You know the devil tries to convince you that your prayers are not heard or working when they are most effective he is a liar and if he can lie to you then it means the truth exists.
How was May? Did the rain of anointing touch you where you were? Did you also receive the little souvenir that the angels shared? Was your faith stirred to believe again and believe bigger? Did you fan the flames of fire in your altar?
