Let there be light (a)

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Genesis 1:3

Whenever the glory of God is reflected there is light. The presence of God connotes his glory, his beauty and light. The radiance and the brightness of God's light (that luminous intensity) is what we otherwise call the glory of God. Light is synonymous to glory, and anywhere there is light there will be the glory and the presence of God. Hence, light and glory are two inseparable partners. Jesus Christ is the sun of righteousness, an embodiment of light, and in him is no darkness. The bible says "in him was life; and the life was the light of men." He is the life that gives light. We receive life and light in the brightness of his shinning and he has assured us that when the light comes, darkness has to leave. "And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." John 1:4-5

However, Satan the god of this world hates light because he is an embodiment of darkness. As soon as he lost his position, he desperately and passionately hates to see anyone bearing the glory and light of God. And his utmost desire is to hinder such from living in the light. But we are compassed with so great a cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1a), saints who have gone ahead of us are watching us, seeing how we are allowing darkness to take over our world. As children of God we must arise and declare "Let there be light." There is proliferation of darkness in our land and we are to curtail.it.

If God our father commanded and decreed let there be light and there was light, we are to enforce it in our generation by destroying every trace of darkness continuously as we issue the same decree everywhere and every time "let there be light." The Psalmist in Psalm 80:1 declared "Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth." No more place for darkness for it cannot coexist with light. Let us also decree  "thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth."

We welcome the kingdom of light!!!

Thy kingdom come o Lord
Thy rule, o Christ begin!
Break with thy iron rod
The tyrannies of sin!

0'er heathen land afar
Thick darkness broodeth yet
Arise, o morning star,
Arise, and never set!

A great nation under siege

Because I have called, and ye refused: I have stretched out my hand and no man regarded; But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity: I will mock when your fear cometh; Proverbs 1:24-26

From the simple dictionary meaning of a siege, we all know that it is a stubborn and continuous effort to win or gain control of something. It is also an act or instance of surrounding a city, fort or a nation by an enemy army in an attempt to capture it. My own concept of a siege is a fortified stronghold laid by the enemy to capture and inflict punishment on the captor. An individual, people, or a nation under siege experiences perpetual terror, torment, attack, oppression, lack and several other terrible things inflicted on them by their captor. To be released from a siege, there is need for assistance and aid from a higher power, superior  and  potent enough to subdue the contending or controlling power, that is the captor.

I see a nation under a terrible siege of darkness that only the power of God can remove. America has given the enemy cause to blaspheme the name of God and mount a siege against her because of blatant disobedience to God's laws and commandments. The land is filled with defilements and deadly pollutions, iniquities abound everywhere, the spiritual atmosphere is dense, there is thick darkness hovering over the land, unthinkable  and unimaginable evil going on every minute of the day. There is terrible demonic infiltration and contamination in the land. The enemy has permeated the country with immorality, occultism, satanic temples and worship, evil programming of people, witchcraft activities and so on.

Satan has fully gained entry and has successfully mounted a siege against this nation because of sins, abominations and evil indulgences. Everyone is free to do what he or she deems fit. There is freedom for all, freedom to do anything, even to sin against God. No wonder there is deception, delusion and seduction even on the pulpit. Who are we deceiving? God cannot be mocked, for whatever a man sow that he will reap.

God hates sin with passion, he detests it. He is God of righteousness and his standard has not change and cannot change for anyone or group of people. And that is why God will not save or deliver anyone or people under the siege of the enemy particularly those who allowed the enemy to mount a siege against them because of their sins and evil ways. God said he would laugh them to scorn when evil comes.

And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;

Therefore thus says the Lord God; "Behold, my anger and my fury will be poured out on this place place-on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched." Jeremiah 7:13, 20

But thou, O LORD, shall laugh at them: thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. Psalm 59:8





Weighed and found wanting

America is a nation who was once wholly given to God. Her founding fathers dedicated her to God. They so much feared God and reposed their confidence in the almighty even to the extent that their dollar bill bears "in God we trust." She becomes a symbol of strength, excellence, dignity and power, and was exalted above the nations of the earth. America was a nation marvelously helped by God and she loved her God.

Unfortunately, a nation richly blessed by God now kick against her God. God is also furious and angry against her. America has turned away from her source and true strength, this is pathetic and terrible. With your smartness, you have outmatched other nations of the world in evil and abomination. You take special delight in everything that God forbids. You make his dos your don'ts, and his don'ts your dos. The warning now comes to you as it did to Belshazzar. There is an handwriting on the wall, you are weighed in heaven's scale and you are found wanting. TEKEL; thou art weighed in the balances and found wanting. Daniel 5:27.

There is a lot of defilement, pollution, immorality, vices, abomination of all forms, ritual killings, innocent blood littered the land with Satanic shrines and evil altars everywhere. Fraternities, cult groups, and witchcrafts are no more a secret thing but now rampant even in high schools, institutions, and government. Idolatry is on the increase as many people came into America from other nations of the world with their idols and gods to pollute the land the more.

Your present deplorable condition is of great concern to the courts of heaven. The cup of your abomination is full and God can no longer hold back his judgment against you. Heaven's lamentation over you is "weighed and found wanting" who will help and deliver you when God unleash his wrath over you. It will be fierce and worse than anyone could imagine except you repent. Floods, wild fires, storms, tornadoes and so on currently experienced, though thought to be normal are signs of God's anger and wrath against an unrepentant nation.

"Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin," Isaiah 30:1

"Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed." Isaiah 10:1

America, who will deliver you from the impending doom and destruction?
REPENT!!!
