SEASON: GLORY DAYS!

THEME: MANIFESTING THE GLORY OF GOD

SUB-THEME: THE TIME HAS COME FOR ALL PROPHECIES THE LORD HAS GIVEN TO US TO BE FULFILLED.’

TITLE: WHEN GOD MAKES A PROMISE, HE FUlFILLS IT.

TEXT: Isaiah 45:1-5 (NIV)

This is what the LORD says to His anointed, Cyrus whose right hand I take hold of to subdue nations before him and strip kings of their armor to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron.
I will give you the hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel who summons you by name.
For the sake of Jacob my servant, of Israel my chosen, I summon you by name and bestow on you a title of honor, though you do not acknowledge me.
I am the LORD and there is no other; I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me.

When God speaks, He surely fulfills what He says.
Isaiah, the Prophet prophesied about Cyrus the king before he was born. He mentioned his name, his title and what he would do.
God already set him apart to fulfill His purpose.
In Jeremiah 1:5a
Says, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart;
It is the same with the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. His birth and His Title were announced by the same Prophet. Isaiah 7:14, 9:6-7. You and I, God knew us before we were born. Before we were conceived in our mothers wombs He had set us apart to fulfill His promises.
God has set us to subdue nations and strip kings of their armor to open doors so that gates can not be shut. To bring deliverance to those who are still bound by the devil because the devil is known as the prince of this World.

God is going to put resources into our hands, into the Church so that His work can go on.
God is going to give the church the wealth, the riches stored in the dark places by the devil.
It was God Himself who named Cyrus and appointed him king before he was even born.
This happened around two hundred years ago before even Cyrus’s parents were born.
This King is the type of Christ. Why , because God chose him to release his people from captivity. The children of Israel were taken into captivity by king Nebuchadnezzar in the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah because of their disobedience to God. So they stayed in captivity for 70 years that was the time God had allocated for their punishment. After the 70 years God raised king Cyrus the gentile to release His people although this King didn’t know God.
Cyrus had a particular anointing from God for His work.
Anointed comes from the Hebrew word: משׁיח mâshîyach usually a consecrated person. *The figurative use of this word ( *chriō, Greek* ) has reference strictly to the coming of the Holy Spirit upon the individual (Luke 4:18; Acts 4:27; Acts 10:38 ). In this sense it is God who anoints (Heb 1:9; 2 Corinthians 1:21 ). The thought is to appoint, or qualify for a special dignity, function or privilege.

To be anointed therefore, means to be filled with the Holy Spirit. God filled Cyrus with His Spirit to accomplish the work He had assigned to him.

The first fulfillment of this prophesy came in the book of Daniel 5. When the armies of Medes and Persia under king Cyrus conquered the city of Babylon, When Beleshazzar was king of Babylon.
God opened doors for Cyrus and gates for him so that he may liberate God’s people. It’s God Himself who opened the door for Cyrus to take over Babylon.
Remember, King Beleshazzar was having a party with his concubines and using the articles which were brought from God’s temple from Jerusalem when Nebuchadnezzar his father raided Jerusalem and destroyed the temple and took the Israelites into captivity.

After king Cyrus conquest, he released the Israelites and allowed them to go back to Jerusalem.
And the other part of the prophesy of rebuilding the Temple was fulfilled in Ezra 1:1-3
In the first year of Cyrus king of of Persia, in order to fulfill the word of the LORD spoken by Jeremiah, the prophet, the LORD moved the heart of Cyrus king of Persia to make a proclamation throughout his realm also put in writing.
This is what Cyrus king of Persia says; ” The LORD the God of Heaven has given me all the Kingdoms of the earth and he has given me to rebuild the temple for him at Jerusalem in Judah (see Isaiah 45:1-5)
Any of his people among you may go up to Jerusalem in Judah and rebuild the temple of the LORD, the God of Israel, the God who is in Jerusalem and may their God be with them.

God used this King who didn’t even know him to release his people and rebuild his temple. But before He did that he first anointed him, strengthen him, gave him all the Kingdoms of the earth so that he may have enough resources, wealth and riches to accomplish his work.

Friends, before we were conceived, before we were born God knew us. He set us apart for His work, for a time as this to manifest His Glory on the earth.
He has anointed us with His Holy Spirit just as He anointed Jesus. Acts 10:38 records how Jesus was anointed, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with power and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil because God was with him.(NIV)”

If God used Cyrus who didn’t know Him, how much more will God use us, who believe in Him?

Friends, I believe this is our time to see God fulfill each and every promise He has given to each one of us, to our families, to our church, and to our nation.
Cyrus was a type of Christ whom God made Victorious over other kings and to liberate His people.
When Jesus ascended, He led captivity, captive, took the captives who made others captives and opened away for those who were bound. Ephesians 4:8a.

So in these Glory Days God is going to use us just as He used Cyrus, To set captives free, to restore broken relationships, to heal the sick, to deliver the oppressed, to bring salvation to the lost. We shall be called repairers of broken walls and Restore hope to those who have lost hope.
The LORD said, He will go before Cyrus. So the LORD is going ahead of us, to level every mountain, mountain of lack, mountain of sickness and disease. Every addiction, demonic attacks, bad dreams, oppression from the enemy, He will break down the gates of bronze and cut through the bars of iron. Every force of resistance, every situation that has proved to be immovable the LORD is moving it today and He is giving us Victory over that situation just like He gave it to king Cyrus.
No opposition will stand before us Just like Cyrus.
No opposition stood before our Lord Jesus and He has given us authority to over come all the power of the enemy. This is clearly recorded in Luke 10:19.

The LORD is giving us the wealth and riches hidden in secret places kept by the enemy just like how king Cyrus had access to the wealth and riches of the nations God gave him Hidden treasures.
These wealth and riches the LORD is giving us for the work of His Kingdom. God is directing the wealth of the heathen to the church for His work.
In these last days, the LORD is going to manifest His Glory through us and every one is going to wonder and they will come to know Him. Even those heathen, those who worship idols like king Cyrus will come to know Our God.

Friends, I know God has given each one of us promises. Promises concerning your self, family, church, and nation. I would like to encourage you to not give up but to press on until you see God fulfill all His promises.
Just as the writer of Psalms 119:38, we are praying these two weeks, Lord, “Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.”
When God fulfills His promises, His Name will be feared all over the earth. He fulfilled His Promise by sending Jesus Christ to die for us.
God is ready to perform what he promises. He is watching to perform his word which he has given to us. Jeremiah 1:12 The LORD said to me, you have seen correctly, for I’m watching to see that My Word is fulfilled. The Lord is watching what he has promised to perform it. It is the moment God is beginning to perform what he has promised you. The Lord has started to perform what he has promised unto me. He is watching and is starting to perform what he has promised unto us.
The LORD is watching to see every Word of His being fulfilled.
I Encourage all of us to join in these 14 days of prayer and fasting with expectants hearts . Expecting everything God promised to us to be fulfilled. It is a moment to watch God fulfilling His promises upon us.

    UNDERSTANDING GRACE AND FAITH.

When God called Abraham, in theology this is called election. It so happened that the family of Abraham through Isaac became known as “the people” (Ha’am). They were later known as the children of Israel, the chosen ones. The only inclusive ones. All the other tribes were known as (גּוים , Gōyim) the infidels, gentiles, from Arabic Kāfirكافر).

For us to understand the Grace well, we must understand the two Hebrew words that interpret people, “העם Ha’am and גּוים , Gōyim”.

The word (עם , ‛ām ) is the term commonly used for the people of God. When the scriptures uses the word “Ha’am” (the people) it always means the children of Israel, the chosen ones, the inclusive ones, the holy Nation.

גּוים , Gōyim is much more frequently “heathen,” and often still, “nation,” which latter is the usual rendering in the Revised Version (British and American), but it is commonly used for  non-Israelitish people, and thus corresponds to the meaning of Gentiles.” They were regarded as unclean, with whom it was unlawful to have any friendly intercourse. They were the enemies of God and His people, to whom the knowledge of God was denied unless they became proselytes, and even then they could not, as in ancient times, be admitted to full fellowship. Jews were forbidden to counsel them, and if they asked about Divine things they were to be cursed. All children born of mixed marriages were bastards.  Something of this is reflected in the New Testament (John 18:28; Acts 10:27-28; Acts 11:3 ). The Acts 10:27-28, “While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean.” This separation affected even the Jews believers who never understood the Grace. This was clearly seen when Peter went to preach to the gentiles under the guidance and supernatural connection of the Holy Spirit. When Peter came back, instead of the Jews believers celebrating with Peter for the salvation of the gentiles. They were so furious and angry with him as to why Peter who is a Jew went and mixed with the gentiles and worst of all, he eat together with them. Listen to this record in Acts, The Acts 11:1-3, “The apostles and the believers throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized him and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”

If you see how the worship in the old temple was, the kāfirs or gentiles were locked out_ they were only allowed to end in the gentile court. You could not be allowed to enter the inner courtyard. There was an area where the gentiles could end because they were not the People. This was clearly seen in the design of the temple. There was an area known as The Court of the Gentiles.

The Court of the Gentiles was the outermost courtyard and the only area of the temple where non-Jews were allowed. As its name implies, the Court of the Gentiles was accessible to Gentiles, foreigners, and those who were considered impure. There, worshippers could mill about, exchange money, and even buy animals for sacrifices. It was from the Court of the Gentiles that Jesus, on two occasions (John 2:11–12; Matthew 21:17–23), drove out the money changers, declaring, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers” (Matthew 21:13).

Non-Jews (Gōyim) were allowed to enter the Court of the Gentiles, but they were forbidden to go any farther than the outer court. The inner temple courtyards were enclosed by a balustrade, and at the entrances to it notices were posted in both Greek and Latin, warning foreigners and uncircumcised persons that crossing into one of the other courtyards was punishable by death. “Warning Inscriptions,”. Two complete tablets written in Greek have been found that read: Μηθένα ἀλλογενῆ εἰσπορεύεσθαι ἐντὸς τοῦ περὶ τὸ ἱερὸν τρυφάκτου καὶ περιβόλου (Mēthena allogenē eisporeuesthai entos tou peri to hieron tryphaktou kai peribolou). Ὅς δἄν ληφθῇ (Hos dan lēphthē), ἑαυτῶι αἴτιος ἔσται διὰ τὸ ἐξακολουθεῖν θάνατον (heautōi aitios estai dia to exakolouthein thanaton, “No alien may enter within the balustrade around the sanctuary and the enclosure. Whoever is caught, on himself shall he put blame for the death which will ensue” This was how serious the separation was between “the people” and the “heathens or gentiles_ the kaphirs in Arabic)

Thanks be to God, the door opened called the  “grace” that gave all people access to the restricted areas, not just to the temple made with human hands but the heavenly temple.

Oh yes, one of the beautiful writings in the Bible for the Gentiles that you must read word by word and line by line and put into remembrance is Ephesians 2:11-22

[11]Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human hands-

[12]remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

[13]But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

[14]For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

[15]by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,

[16]and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the enmity.

[17]And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near;

[18]for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

[19]So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,

[20]having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone,

[21]in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,

[22]in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.

We were separated from the Commonwealth of Israel.

The Grace is the door that God opened for the Goyim to enter into the hall that “the people” enclosed into. The grace opened for us the door of Mercy for the salvation which we did not deserve because we were separated from God, excluded from the common wealth of Israel, and aliens.

When we enter through the door of grace, we become also “the people.” In out text in Ephesians 2:19 clearly shows this, “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household,”

Listen to this Glorious text in Titus 2:11-12 “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. ItIt teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. Glory to God”.

The door for us all has been open. The doors is called the grace. HalleluYah! No more exclusiveness! All people can be saved now by Faith in Jesus. This door welcomes every style of sinner that you ever list into salvation. The door is open. Every sinner can access it now. Please go tell all sinners, that the door is opened for them all.

And the door (grace) is our tutor. The door “the grace” teaches us to say, No to ungodliness. No to worldly passions. The door teaches us to live self-controlled lives. The door teaches us to live godly lives in this present age. The door does not graft us into devils as some ignorantly teach. It is not the door that has been opened for us to begin living lawless lives.

And we enter through this grace door by faith. That is what Paul says in Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.

What are you waiting for, to enter the door? Enter through the door now! Believe in Jesus now. If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, do it now.

Just  join with me in this prayer “Lord, I know I’m a sinner, but I thank You for Your Son, Jesus, who died on the cross for my sins  and rose on the third day thereby opening the door of salvation for me, so that my sins can be forgiven and I can be with You forever. Thank You for loving me and opening the door of salvation for me. I’m ready to follow You and give my life to You. Please help me along the way and allow me to know You better each day. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

A woman in the Lens or Light of Scriptures
A Woman in light of scriptures not in the light of feminists and women empowerment.
A woman as God intended her to be, not what culture has viewed women to be.
I don’t believe in what is being marketed as women empowerment, because woman in the light of the Holy Scriptures are already empowered. But the enemy has placed some woman into the cage of inferiority, which has caused women to be deceived into thinking that they are the no bodies. The enemy brought deception into the mind of Women into thinking that they are inferior than men, then when he succeeded in this deception, he therefore came back with the old thing make it appear like it is a new thing, but in a upside down format called “women empowerment or feminism.”
Remember the devil’s tricks have not changed. He rides on our ignorance, then rules. In the temptation of Eve, Satan turned the truth upside down. God made man (male and female) in his image after his own likeness. But it was in this same truth that Satan turned upside down. Satan triumphed on Eve’s ignorance of her position and place in God. He said, “God knew that when you eat this tree you will become like him.” On otherwise Satan deceives Eve that, you know what Eve, “God has not made you like Him,” yet they were already made like God. And when even believed this lie, she lost it.
Today, the devil has come up with this same old trick, deceiving women into thinking that they are inferior, no bodies and so forth. And as majority of women embraced the lie, Satan comes with what appears like something new. He says, look here women, you are no bodies, and so inferior from men, we need to empower you. And some women have ignorantly believed this second lie. This is deception, it is a total lie.
Women do not need any empowerment from any world agency, because they are empowered already. Women only need to see themselves in the light of scriptures. They need to see in all scriptures what the Bible says they are. They need to discover their position and mandate in scriptures. The devil has just brained washed some women and many societies into thinking they are no bodies, then comes with counterfeits of feminism. The counterfeits appear like the truth, but not at all.
But as we see through scriptures, are women inferior?
Let’s answer this question with adequate scriptures.
We commence with the foundational truth in Genesis.

Genesis 1:26-28
[26]Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
[27]God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
[28]God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
God made man, “male and female” and called them Adam. Hebrew word: אדם ‘âdâm; human beings, male and female, man. According to the Bible, both men and women are called man.
Genesis 5:1-2
[1]This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.
[2]He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

Chapter 1:28 says, God blessed them (men and women), and said to them (women and men), be fruitful and multiply (women and men are the ones that multiply, men don’t multiply by themselves), and fill the earth (men and women), and subdue it (women and men); and rule over (women and men are to rule over)…

This foundational truth has nothing to do with women empowerment, because the women God has empowered men and women for Dominion, leadership, ruler ship etc. These verses make clear that God’s original intent for man and woman was they be co-regents (rulers together) over the renewed Creation. This means that an equality of position and authority was God’s intent. They were to rule together.

It is not these satanic agencies that are empowering women, because God already empowered women. These agencies are just using deception. Now when you as a woman embraces these lies of Women empowerment, instead of exploring your God given potential in the light of scriptures, you become confused wasting time and begin competing with men. Feminists teach women how to make domestic violence. Could you find any feminist who is enjoying marriage. Never, because when they are so called empowered, they begin to fight for positions. Feminists don’t help, in any case, they only help in breaking the institution of marriage and society.

Secondly, when God created a woman, where did he get the bone he used for creating a woman. Did he get the born from the leg of man, or head or back? All of you know that the bone was got from the side of Adam.
Genesis 2:21
[21]So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.
If God had got the bone from the head of Adam, women would be above men. And if God had got the bone from the leg of Adam, then women would be below men. And had it been that God picked the bone from the back of Adam, then women would be behind men.
But thank God, he picked the bone from the side of Adam, the rib, so women would be joint rulers, joint leaders with men because that was God’s dream for them to be rulers together, Genesis 1:26,28.

In prophet Micah the Lord reminds Israel that when he brought them out of Egypt, the people that he sent for this purpose were Moses, Aaron and Miriam.
Micah 6:4
[4]”Indeed, I brought you up from the land of Egypt And ransomed you from the house of slavery, And I sent before you Moses, Aaron and Miriam.
Miriam is mentioned right along with Moses and Aaron as one of the trinity that delivered and led the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. This illustrates the authoritative, highly influential leadership role she exercised

A woman in light of scriptures Genesis 1:26-28 (Joint rulers, joint governors, joint everything with man.

Proverbs 31:10-29, TLB.
A woman in the light of scriptures is, an entrepreneur, a business owner, a manager, landowner and housing estates, does business at the international levels,

[13] She finds wool and flax and busily spins it (Owns a textile factory)
[14]She buys imported foods brought by ship from distant ports. (Procurement manager, Marketing, sales manager, operations manager, and project manager. Supply Chain Management. __An international Business Woman)
[15]She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plans the day’s work for her servant girls. (Servant leader)
[16]She goes out to inspect a field and buys it; with her own hands she plants a vineyard. (Strategic management, Marketing Management. Operation Management, Human Resource, Planning and development)
[18]and watches for bargains. She works far into the night! (Negotiator and bargainer)
She sews for the poor and generously helps those in need. (Founding A donor Agency)
[21]She has no fear of winter for her household, for she has made warm clothes for all of them. (Disaster and preparedness minister)
[22]She also upholsters with finest tapestry; her own clothing is beautifully made—a purple gown of pure linen. (A royal lady)
[23]Her husband is well known, for he sits in the council chamber with the other civic leaders. (An Influential woman)
[24]She makes belted linen garments to sell to the merchants. (Owning a mega manufacturing industry)
[25]She is a woman of strength and dignity and has no fear of old age. (minister of ethics and integrity)
[26]When she speaks, her words are wise (Processor, or philosopher), and kindness is the rule for everything she says.
[27]She watches carefully all that goes on throughout her household and is never lazy. (Business Management and Administration)
[28]Her children stand and bless her; so does her husband. He praises her with these words: (A woman of praise)

A woman in light of scriptures is termed as THE VIRTUOUS WOMAN OF PROVERBS 31
Proverbs 31. It describes her as:

1. Diligent, Skilled Crafts Person
   Verses 13,19,22 — a diligent, skilled (thus trained and educated) crafts person.
2. Landowner And Business Woman
   Verses 16,23 — a landowner and successful business woman.
3. Benefactor Of The Poor And Needy
   Verse 20 — A philanthropist (one who gives away money) and benefactor of the poor and needy. Thus she controlled considerable sums of money necessary for these activities.
4. Wisdom And Opinion Respected
   Verse 26 — Her wisdom and opinion is sought and respected.

Psalms 68:11
[11]The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim the good tidings are a great host.
The word COMPANY is translated from the Hebrew word tsaba. Strong’s Concordance says it is feminine in gender and means “a mass of women organized for warfare [an army].”
The verse then is rightly translated, “The Lord gave the word: great was the mass of women organized for warfare that published if. “
What follows is written in defense of this special force of women. The object of this section, then, is two fold: (1) to release women to find their rightful place in God’s work, so they can fulfill their ministries for His glory; and (2) to change the attitude of male church leaders so they encourage women to fulfill their God-given calling

This is what a woman in the light of scriptures is like as opposed to a woman in satanic feminism. This is a woman as God intended her to be.
