Guaranteed Deliverance

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

There is guaranteed deliverance for you and your nation; not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of the Lord. Please see Zechariah Chapter 4 verse 6. Therefore, do not give up; do not lose hope because the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut short. Your hopes concerning your nation may have been dashed severally; your personal dreams and aspirations have also been put on hold on account of what is going on in your nation; you have failed for the umpteenth time in business, academics, relationships and you have given up completely that things can never work out again; or perhaps you are on the verge of giving up completely or you have become pessimistic. Beloved, there is hope for you and your nation as God assures you of His guaranteed deliverance by His Spirit.

The valley of dry bones described in Ezekiel Chapter 37 verses 1 to 14 best describes the hopelessness, despair in the land of Israel. The people had given up hope describing their hope as lost. Please see verse 11. Yet at the instance of the Lord, life, strength and hope returned to the people as the prophet Ezekiel prophesied the words of God into the seemingly hopeless situation. Beloved, the miraculous transformation proves that nothing is too difficult for God to do. Please see Jeremiah Chapter 3 verses 27, 17 to 19 and Genesis Chapter 18 verses 13 to 14.

Sarah and Abraham were old and well past child bearing age yet because God had spoken the Bible records that they received strength to bear Isaac. The couple who had been childless for so many years and probably mocked; even written off as incapable of having their own biological children birthed Isaac, laughter. Please see Romans Chapter 4 verses 17 to 20, and Hebrews Chapter 11 verses 11 to 12. Beloved, you can also receive divine strength by the Spirit of God to receive guaranteed deliverance in your personal life and nation today in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. That seemingly dead or impossible situation can and will receive life by the Spirit of God to become flourishing streams of life, divine health, economic prosperity, academic excellence, etc that will bring you global honor, fame ad desirability in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.

Healing the Nations Through Prophesying 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

The Bible records that the elders of the Jews built and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built the temple and finished it. Please see Ezra Chapters 5 verses 1 to 2; 6 verse 14, Haggai Chapters 1 and 2, Zechariah Chapter 1 verses 12 to 21, What is pertinent is what Haggai and Zechariah prophesied (the content of their prophecies and the Spirit by whom they prophesied). They prophesied by the Spirit of God; and the words which they spoke by the Holy Spirit were life to the people, the words quickened the people and helped them to prosper in the rebuilding of the temple and the temple was completed despite the severe opposition by the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin.

The forms of opposition include false assistance designed to frustrate the work; discouragement; use of counselors to frustrate the work, accusation and force of arms (Ezra Chapter 4 verses 1 to 23). Eventually the work ceased. But because God had spoken His word and His word does not return unto Him without accomplishing what the word was sent to do (Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 13), He raised the prophets Haggai and Zechariah to speak hope, strength, confidence and restoration to His people. The prophets Haggai and Zechariah continued prophesying to the people in the name of God and the people were strengthened and encouraged to continue rebuilding the Temple (Ezra Chapter 5). As they spoke, the people rose up and began to build the house of God, hugely supported by King Cyrus whom God had purposed to use (Isaiah Chapters 44 verses 26 to 28, 45 verse 13). The fierce opposition to the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem by the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin was quashed by prophesying. Additionally, the Bible records that the completion of the temple brought healing and restoration of dignity, true worship of God as well as restoration of all things to Judah.

Prophesying the Word of God into the situation, the people and the land as evidenced in the valley of dry bones when Ezekiel prophesied the Word of God into the very dry bones in the valley certainly brings God’s healing to the nations. The very dry bones represent utter hopelessness – a situation that was probably beyond redemption because the people had lost all hope and believed that nothing could be done to redeem the situation. Apart from being very dry, the bones were also very many. This is symbolic of the mindsets of many people, utter hopelessness for them as a people and a nation.
