Text - Joel 2:2-8
Recently Hollywood has been making movies about “The Nearest Future” and one of them is Alita Battle Angel. It's a sort of future where robots operate on a spectacular level and the humans present in that time have a sort of dependence on them. What does this teach us you might ask.
You probably already know that ancient scientists like Isaac Newton and John Kepler were believers for whom every discovery brought a point of reverence and awe of God - even if the story is not the same with modern scientists. Over the years, mind blowing technologies have been invented - and more are still being invented - and the sad fact is that those with whom these ideas lie are majorly unbelievers.
And when unbelievers are in leadership and seem to be the ones making use of the bountiful resources which God has made available to mankind there is bound to be Chaos.
But all hope isn't lost, in fact there's great news. Two thousand years ago when Jesus won the victory on our behalf he gave us the opportunity to return to the original design God had for mankind.
It is why Thessalonians describes us as new creatures with which the old has passed away and all things have become new. Our Bible verse talks about an army whose ranks cannot be broken, I like to call them Shrewd.
It's not enough to sit in your house and pray all day - that would be equivalent to asking for food and not willing to plow the field that God has given unto you. God wants to see things change on Earth but he wont come down to make the change himself. He would do that through vessels and those vessels are the ones up to the task.
Let's forget about the fact that you're a prayer warrior and can win almost any battle in the spiritual realm, What value do you have physically? What grounds can you cover for Yeshua in the academic, political, medical and other “important” fields in life?
Israel had prayed for years and even though Moses was the answer to their prayer he had to undergo the best of trainings as Pharoah’s son which made him competent in every way. It is no hidden fact that in our generation especially in our nation you have to be in high positions to be able to influence decisions which would be in the favor of those on your side.
You are the answer to a generation’s prayer but you would fail them if you waste the resources God has given to you. Nigeria would heal but it would take the intelligence along with prayers of the sons of God. It is time to be responsible.
GOD WOULD NEVER LEAVE HIS PEOPLE WITHOUT A LIGHT
