IN TIMES LIKE THIS [JOHN 14:27
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give is you; not as the world gives do I give to you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27)

The world system here failed many, most people believe in the dictates of the government than God’s decree, morally men have left good for wickedness. Love in our society is conditional, we live in a season of a country on social media but nothing on the common community, noise of terror, kidnapping, attacks. No one is interested in the good of any, even the most trusted individual is a suspect, How did we get here? Jesus Clearly stated in Matt 24; he spoke about the signs of the end and what we should expect as believers, the famines, pestilence and rumors of war etc.
Most Biblical prophesies are now being fulfilled in our days, If you think the world is still in progress you lie because most of the signs are already occurring in our days. Most of us have different ideas about eternity, the doctrines of religion has affected our relationship with the Holy Spirit, we treat Bible with tradition and live a life of hypocrisy. In such a time we find ourselves like this where prophesies of doom resolves round our community and ignorant people chase revelation against the knowledge of God, with different believes and doctrines of how we will die and stay in purgatry for forgiveness of sins.
We live in a world where everyone owns a kingdom, a time where power is being chased by men, the one who has the power fears the end of that power while the one who suffers under it pray it ends, what an irony of life! The rich who enjoys the world fears the downfall of the world and likewise those who suffer hopes for it downfall.
Every person here is aware of nuclear weapon, economic catastrophe that threatens the world, they could blow a city in seconds and no one will question them. Idolatry prostitution, things that we despise are now legal transaction in our modern society, with such what is the hope of the believer
Daniel chapter shows us how Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and needed an interpreter, he passed through the trials of time and God vindicated him divine wisdom that he served four kings in Babylon. Babylon is a city of whoredom, idolatry, yet a man who will not spoil himself with the portion of the kings meat emerged at the top. Many Christians are grounded, many have left good lifestyle for hypocrisy, many have betrayed the gospel, pretenders and liars, many are cutting corners, wicked ,lack love having issues with neighbors yet they dress religiously and act descent before the pastor and members of the church. No wonder we are abused mocked because we lack proves, we have make our sonship look like a bastard approach and the father is not pleased with us
For those who truly know their God, Daniel 11:33 “those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or burned or captured or plundered” even with all the chaos, exploit has been promised to them, preservation etc. Although some are born to be martyred for the cause of the gospel. God unveiled many secrets to Daniel about the endtime. In Daniel 2:40 “finally there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron for iron breaks and smashes everything and as breaks and pieces things so it will crush and break all the others” God unveiled to him as out an empire that will be as strong as iron and will devour the whole earth and tramples it down. Daniel 7:23 but then God will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, it is a kingdom that will for forever and will be for the redeemed. Rev. 5:10. Although this kingdom is promised to many but there is a lot of work and process to see the kingdom
Every prophesy fulfilled is for a purpose [2peter 2:19] for it is not for any private interpretation but God is in need of men that will cry restore, that will look beyond the current crisis, look beyond self and die to their will. In times like this God is looking for such a man filled with boldness that he can send. [Isa. 42:22] there was no rescue strategy for the people because none say restore! Every gods of this land is judged today in Jesus name.
What should you expect more from such time we are; Such time where respect is dying, such time where children are getting wayward, such time where correction is like creating a war. Remember Matt. 10:34 Christ has not come to give peace to the world. His is for his children. The world we are in can never know peace, the more trouble the more we get closer to the end.
It will be ignorant praying the wrong prayer; [Daniel 9:23-27], The prophesy of Christ’s birth was given to Daniel and how he will die plus everything that will occur before the lord return, everything came to pass, one of the most significant prophesy is the one of confirming the covenant with Mary where Israel will now be in agreement with their muslim brothers etc. This came to pass last year.
In Nigeria, inadequindence , endsars are all significance of the birthing revival, God’s wisdom is been unveiled in our time to stir up revival that will bring men to him, Joel 2, spoke about the giant and army of the endtime and nothing shall break their rank. He spoke about pouring out his spirit upon all flesh.
A season of persecution – if you are expecting fun or the church is expecting fun we lie, there is no revival without it, 2Tim 3:12 ‘ye and all that will live Godly in Christ shall suffer persecution” God is preparing you and I for his kingdom, everything you see now as signs are proves to prepare you but many are ignorant and stubborn just like in the days of Noah. Luke 11;12 “Thy will be done on earth.
A season of God’s judgment on the church and government – Jer.6:13, Psalm 2;1-6
In times like this we expect more famine Gen. 12:1, EZE.14:13-14, MAT. 24:7 But in the midst of famine you shall be satisfy. Job 5:20, Psalm 37:19
Though all this, God is restoring his church, for the bride has to be prepared for the groom to come. Jer.3:15, 1Cor.1:13-28 – but some will die for this cause to receive an eternal reward.
What is toy hope for this season
1.Fear not, the voice of God and direction enough for you, and you cant get this when you’re a sinner, without relationship with the holyghost.
How can Abraham leave his father’s house, obeyed yes sir, and God still made him. Fear has Paralysed our faith, no matter the challenges God’s children are always exempted, the worst time are always best time for time for believers

[b]How to position yourself in times like this.
[
1. You must be born again – Joel 2:32, Isa.13:6 – end
2. Live a life of the consciousness of God’s kingdom(always remember heaven in your thoughts)
3. Have zeal for God’s kingdom – psalm 69:6, Isa 9:7, Philip. 1:21 “for me to live is and to die is gain” there will be a lot of clamouring for your energy but refuse to be moved.
4. Check your life and address any challenge on the alter of prayer – “search my my heart oh Lord” – Psalm 139:23
5. Win souls for Christ and be sure of God’s presence – Mat.28:20, Prov.11:30 “the fruit of the righteous is the tree of life”
Daniel 12:3 “those who are wise will shine like the brightness of heaven, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever”
Do not forget,our goal is eternity, the end is what we expect Joel 2:23-26, our expectation won’t be cut short in Jesus name.

How many of you want to live for God in this season?, or you know you are not there yet, you are not born again please make a commitment God and you will experience him now
