DEDICATION
I dedicate this book solely to The Lord Jesus Christ, who by The
Holy Spirit granted unto me access into certain spiritual truths and
mysteries in the prophetic which I know were beyond my normal
range of sight to be able to understand, comprehend and document
for the benefit and edification of all. I also want to dedicate this
book to everyone that so desire to function in the prophetic, and to
those that care so much to have an understanding of how the
prophetic functions and influence the earth from the heavens. The
prophetic and vision have never been exclusive, preserved for a
few elites, it is a realm that is open to all by God. The prophetic and
vision is a manifestation that all are called into in God. May you not
be excluded from the manifestation and functioning of the
prophetic in our day and time!
Blessings to you all!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I thank The LORD for all those sacrificial servants who have
upheld my arms as we continue with endurance to run the race that
is set before us. I also want to thank the pioneers who have gone
before us in exploring the dimensions of the prophetic and vision.
Where would we be without them? Books and sermons have
always been my mentors—so thanks to all those who laid the
foundation that we get to build upon. Lastly, I want to thank my
dear family and friends. I am truly grateful to The Lord for such
family and friends who love The LORD and desire to see His
kingdom come on the earth.

Introduction
THE PROPHETIC AND VISION
W
e are living in a prophetic time in the history of
mankind. Knowingly or unknowingly, we are called a
prophetic people who are to function in the apostolic
mandate. It has always been my desire to write a book on the
prophetic. I do not claim to be a final and absolute authority in the
area of the prophetic and vision, but I write as a man that has
received grace and mercy from God to be trustworthy. In times
past, holy men were inspired by God and moved by The Holy Spirit
to document the dealings of God in their lives and that of others as a
pathway and a pattern on how God relates with mankind.
The documentation gave their descendants the guideline to
follow after God. We have testaments and epistles of Jesus Christ
written in the scriptures because holy men were inspired by God
and moved by The Holy Spirit to document events throughout
history in relating with God dealing with mortal men. This
testaments and epistles of the dealings of God overtime became a
template and a manuscript for the discipline of people, tribes and
nations. When God saw it fit for me to write on the above topic, I
wanted to title it, “prophecy and vision”, but it was latter reframed
to, “The prophetic and vision.”
1
Introduction THE PROPHETIC & VISION
Many people consider the prophetic to be very complicated, but

there is nothing really complicated about it as many were meant to
believe. Nothing is complicated about God and His discipline,
except if it has not been revealed to you. God Himself is a mystery,
and you cannot comprehend Him if He does not reveal Himself to
you. When God sees the desire of your heart and how determined
you are to see Him, He positions Himself for you to encounter Him
and see Him in His glory.
As you journey into God seek that His mysteries be opened and
revealed to you so that you can grasp His manifold wisdom in time
to function on earth. It will amaze you to know that an average
believer doesn't even know how to hear God when He speaks while
others that can hear Him are still perplexed about how to recognize
His voice continually. Therefore, they both linger between which
voice is true and which is profane. If you cannot hear God speak to
you personally, how can you hear Him for another person's
situation? Hearing God speak in a situation is a dilemma to many
believers in the body of Christ today. You must realize that you are
the first prophet in your life and God will always want to speak and
talk to you directly without the aid of a medium except if you
cannot perceive Him and in His desperation to speak to you, He
uses another person to speak by prophecy to you.
'Nobody hears God from a troubled heart and mind.' It does not
matter what your situation is or how terrible and terrifying your
circumstances are, you will not hear God and understand His
perspective if you are confused in heart and mind. When you are in
2
such a state, you will allow the situation to overcome and consume
you, therefore, if God is speaking to you; you will not hear Him.
That is why every true minister of the gospel is not afraid and
consumed by the situation presented to him. Don't allow the
present circumstances make you lose faith in the ability of God to
deliver you. Don't set your eyes on the challenge, but set your eyes
on Christ Jesus who can deliver.
Always be at peace with God in your heart so that He can permit
His goodwill to follow you. Let the peace of The LORD flood your
heart even in times of trouble. That peace is what God will use to
speak to you as He releases His strength and grace to you. God is
always speaking to us, but we just don't pay close attention to His
speaking. God's Spirit is a speaking and a talking spirit.
You must develop the capacity and energy to be able to hear and
perceive the speaking of God within His frequency in the spiritual
realm. Since there is a realm of mortals and of angels, there is also
the realm of God. The speaking of God is seen and heard in the
spiritual realm via His own frequency. The spirit realm transmits
different frequencies of communication of which you access them
according to your spiritual range of sight.
We must be sensitive to The Holy Spirit because He is the one
that can guide us in our dealings with God. Anytime you hear God
speak to you, you have become a medium for His use. You can hear
God speak to you about yourself or another person's situation,
giving you the wisdom to proffer solution to the person's
challenge.

Prophets are people that have received an ordination from God

to relate His heart and desires to people. All through the Old
Testament, God ordained prophets to speak His mind and desires
to His people, but the rebellion still continued in the heart of His
people. God had to design a better plan and pattern to communicate
to His people of which Jesus Christ came and became the
summation of the law and the prophets.
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the
fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the
worlds. [Hebrews 1:1-2]
Prophets are saddled with the responsibility from God to

communicate His heart to the people and to relate the need of the
people back to Him. They serve as mediums in which people reach
God and Him to them. In the Old Testament, God ordained
prophets and set them over many people as seen in the likes of
Isaiah, David, Samuel, Jeremiah and even Moses. Moses cried
wishing that his spirit be shared among many so that the burden
upon him can be reduced. God answered his request and 70 men
were selected to receive a share of his spirit to function in the
prophetic. The same applied to Elijah and Elisha, Moses and
Joshua, and other cases through the scriptures where people shared
in the spirit of a prophet.
In times past, God's Spirit was concentrated on a man or a
selected few to become prophets over the people of God. These
selected few spoke the counsel of God to all and the prophecy
4
spoken by these prophets always came to pass. That was possible

in the Old Testament, but in the New Testament, it was written that
“I will put my laws in their heart and no one will have to teach the
other to know The LORD.” This was earlier prophesied by the
prophet Joel. We have seen in this day and age that God has poured
out His Spirit upon us all so that we all can become prophetic in
nature, to understand and perceive His speaking and movement
upon the earth. With the fulfilment of this prophecy, everyone can
now become prophetic and prophesy, but not necessarily function
in the prophetic office.
Have you ever dreamt before? Or seen a vision before? Or even
heard God speak to you knowingly or unknowingly before? A lot
of people never realize that they are prophetic in nature by God's
design. If you have ever perceived God in any form before
–dreams, revelation, vision, trances e t c, then, it is that prophetic
nature of God in you that is seeking expression. Prophets also have
the same spiritual prophetic experiences which they must go
through to ensure their development overtime so that they can be
useful vessels.
What is your idea of a prophet? Many people have prophesied
before whether knowingly or unknowingly. A prophet does
nothing other than to hear God speak to him about personal,
national and international issues. I consider them friends of God
and a people that understand the language and speaking of God.
They always take every prophetic experience they have serious
5
and have developed a pattern of hearing God overtime. The very

day you decide to utilize the few encounters and experiences God
gives you, you will begin to see an improvement in the prophetic in
your life.
God desires that we all should hear and represent Him as a
prophetic people. God has always been speaking to you and telling
you the things to do that will bring Him glory. Many people are
waiting for a day that a lightning bolt and thunder will strike them
with a loud voice from heaven saying, 'I am your Lord and God,
now rise up and function in my power and might' No! No!! No!!! it
doesn't happen that way always. The little experiences and
encounters you have, are similar to the encounters and experiences
that the people you called prophets in the body of Christ do have
just that they always utilize and respond to God whenever He
speaks to them.
No prophet is born in a day, it takes seconds, minutes, hours,
days, weeks, months and years of training to achieve and attain
unto that pedestal. We must learn to value little encounters and
dealing process so that we can move higher in God. As an
individual, I always value my dreams, visions, revelations and
every prophetic experiences that I have in God. When I have an
experience, I always try to find a meaning to the experience in
relating to God's dealings with me. I believe God is not playing and
kidding with me, He must have been trying to speak and
communicate something to me in the prophetic experiences and if I
can decipher it, it will place me upon a new paradigm.
6
The prophetic is the mechanism in which God communicates

with us and the people that master the act of the prophetic are called
prophets. The process of speaking and reiterating the speaking of
God is called prophesy. The words that is spoken is called
prophecy. Prophetic people always value the means and the
mechanism God uses to speak to them. There is nothing really
special the prophets have that you do not have, except that they
value the speaking of God more often than you do.
The day you begin to value the speaking of God and the
prophetic experiences He gives you, then you will become like the
prophets that represent God relating His heart to others. Prophets
and prophetic people are always jealous about the things of God
and His kingdom, they do all in their power to see His kingdom
enthroned in a place.
Vision is the process of visualizing or seeing a thing, event or a
caption. It is a mental picture or an imaging of a desired future. It
may or may not make sense, but there is picture, a painting created
and an image formed. God speaks, but His speakings are mostly in
pictures, signs and symbols. The audible voice of God is heard
once upon a time, but His speakings are perceive within the heart as
He gives visions in pictures, signs, numbers and symbols to us
daily.
God loves to show us what He intends to do in a vision, although
our mind suffers to interpret and relate what it sees, nevertheless, a
mind that is recreated can be able to perceive the thoughts of God
even in a picture. God speaks to me through dreams and recurrent
7
visions a lot, seeing a scene an, an event can be very confusing

especially to someone that is not skilled in the knowledge and
revelation of the way God speaks.
When you are renewed in the mind, you will always receive the
revelation of the scenes and pictures shown to you because the
same spirit that brings the dream and vision will still unveil it to
you. Dreams and vision are of no effect and important to you if not
accurately interpreted. It is very frustrating to have a prophetic
experience without receiving the revelation and understanding of
what God is saying to you.
Nevertheless, I will be taking you on a journey to reveal and
help you understand and utilize the dreams, vision and prophetic
experiences that God gives you as an invitation into a higher
paradigm in Him for world influence. As we journey, you will
comprehend the mechanism and operation of the prophetic in your
life. Many people have a lopsided view of what the prophetic is and
they limit it to some fantasy of secret telling, ranging from bank
accounts numbers, phone numbers, passport numbers and many
more. These manifestations are basic in the prophetic that even
familiar spirits nowadays manoeuvre to deceive many who are
beloved. There are higher and deeper manifestations of the
prophetic that is not limited to secret telling of numbers. This has to
do with governmental sphere of influence, territorial dominion and
spiritual rulership manifesting through: kingship, priesthood and
Sonship.
8
If we must preserve the true texture of the prophetic in this age

and time, then we must give more consideration to the depth of the
prophetic and not just hovering and wallowing around the basics of
the prophetic. We all have a proper destined positioning even in the
prophetic, but not all are called to manifest and express the gifts of
the prophetic. Some are called to sit and possess the throne of the
prophetic, others the office of the prophetic while others to
function by the unction of the prophetic for a while. But all are
given the privilege to manifest the gifts of The Spirit, yea, even that
of the prophetic.
I urge and encourage you to read with an open heart as we go
deeper into more realities of the prophetic and see how it will
function in your life in an increased measure. May God grant you
your heart desire according to His will and cause you to have an
encounter with Him that will change your life forever. Amen.
Shalom!!!
Blessings to all!
Philip Cephas.

Chapter One
PROPHETIC OFFICE
T he word 'prophet' is normal in our today society. It has

been abused by many although it was not designed to be
so. Prophets are God's oracles called and separated for a
function till death calls them to rest. Most prophets were called
even before they were born on earth just like Jeremiah, God called
and ordained him before his birth and separated him, then trained
him to be His representative on earth. The office of the prophetic is
a prestigious one, no wonder there are many fake and profane
prophets in our society today.
There are people that are called into the office of the prophet.
They carry the designation of prophets as known by men on earth.
The prophetic office is mostly occupied by people that are called to
be prophets under the fivefold ministry of Jesus Christ. People
called as prophets are called to function from the office of the
prophetic
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting
of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the
body of Christ. [Ephesians 4:11-12]
Christ Jesus is the one that gives the gift of the prophetic and
ordains men into the office of the prophet. Every true prophet must
10
The Prophetic & Vision PROPHETIC OFFICE
have a desire to express and reveal Christ Jesus to people at all cost.
Prophets are always in constant relationship with God and they
understand the current perspective of God in due season. Prophets
are supposed to bring the words from God as prophesied even
when it is not convenient to the people.
A man called into the office of a prophet must be able to give
direction to people and guide them aright on what to do and how to
do it according to God's pattern. People are always confused in
need of direction and guardianship in life. God always sends His
prophets to people who are lacking in understanding of His current
revelation position concerning their lives.
To give words of encouragement or consolation to people is not
always the function of the prophets because God might be
speaking words of rebuke to the people at the moment and that may
not be convenient to the people who might be rebellious in heart. A
prophet is supposed to take a stand with God and declare what God
has in His heart for the people, whether it sounds good or bad to the
people. The words spoken by a prophet may even sound repugnant
to the people if they are rebellious and never wanting to change
their evil ways unto God.
In times past, God ordained prophets to speak to His people
warning them about their daily sins and iniquities. Sometimes,
prophets give them instructions on things to do for success and
wellbeing. We saw prophets like Isaiah, called by God in desperate
and terrible times in which Israel were backsliding. God chose him
to be His oracle declaring His word of rebuke and correction to the
11
Chapter One PROPHETIC OFFICE
people. The people considered his speaking repugnant and sought

to kill him on daily basis.
In the Old Testament, when God wants to speak to a people, He
raises a man to be a prophet and puts him close to the king so that
He can influence the king in righteousness. The king is left with the
decision to either follow what the prophet speaks to him as God's
word or chooses to be rebel. Many that were rebellious to God by
serving idols died without fulfilling the purpose of which God
designed them for. The few that yielded to God by listening to the
word of God spoken by the prophet lasted longer and impacted
their society.
The prophet Isaiah suffered many shame and reproach even
among his own people. He prophesied words of warning and
correction to God's people, but they never believed him, rather
considered him to be a nuisance. God reveals future events to His
prophets and they are to prophesy those revelations into being on
earth. We are to believe the words spoken by prophets because it
has the ability to prosper us.
And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the
wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood
and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem;
Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe
his prophets, so shall ye prosper. [2 chronicles 20:20]
Prophets see the heart intention of God and speak His plans to
being. When people don't believe the words spoken by prophets,
12
they limit the manifestation of God because they will not

collaborate with God when the appointed time comes for the
fulfilment of prophecy. Prophet Isaiah prophesied the birth of
Christ Jesus The Messiah, His death, burial and resurrection. His
people never believed his prophecy, but saw him as a liar and a
traitor.
'People that cannot see the future can't believe it either.' God
reveals His secrets to His prophets when they fellowship with Him
in prayer. He protects and watches over them as His own. He gives
them authority over lands to decree as He commands them.
Prophets are bound to obey God at all time. Jeremiah was a prophet
called by God and sent to a people that have gone far into darkness.
God decided to let the Israelites be captured by the Assyrians and
be taken as captives for a while, the prophet Jeremiah was the one
called and saddled with the responsibility to foretell to the people
what will befall them in the times to come.
The prophet prophesied about their coming captivity, but no
one ever cared to believe him. In fact, he was persecuted and put in
a dungeon to suffer. He was a unique kind of a prophet and was
called from his mother's womb as the scripture said. Although the
people refused to accept his prophecy, it latter came to pass in their
lives that they were taken as slaves by the Assyrians for a season.
Prophets are not always loved by many, even in their own
hometown. Few may love them but many will reject them,
especially those that are walking in sin and deep into iniquity. It is
normal for people to criticize and speak evil of prophets because
13
they are called to challenge and confront darkness at all levels.

Those that speak for the devil and walk in falsehood see them as a
threat, but the ones that walk in the light of God see them as
messengers from God sent to help them fulfil purpose in life.
Prophets functioning in the office of the prophet are endowed
with gifts by God to help them function accurately in the prophetic.
They are given the power to bind and lose and to war against
spiritual wickedness in high places. You don't just choose to
operate in the office of the prophet and become a prophet, it is an
ordination from Christ Jesus Himself. People that are called as
prophets by God are trained and given the necessary utilities for
their function on earth.
The office of the prophet is power. It is kept and preserved by
prayer and a close relationship with God. True prophets fear no
man as they are intimate with God, and when you are intimate with
God you cannot be intimidated by men. Prophets consider God as
their source and backbone. If you are called to function in the office
of the prophet, all you need to do is to study the patterns and
dealings of God through His word on how He related with other
prophets in time past. When you see the pathway from the
scriptures, then you are to follow suit in obedience.
As you follow after the dealings and discipline of God like the
prophets of old and apply the same principles to your life, it will not
be long before you begin to function in the same gift and power.
There are gifts that function in the office of the prophet. Gifts such
14
as the word of wisdom, the walking of miracles and the word of

knowledge.
Prophets do have lots of encounters and visitation from God and
angels. These experiences are normal to them because they
function in the supernatural most times. Most prophets are known
to function in the supernatural. A lot of them are watchers and
intercessors. They pray and fast for the people they are called to
direct and guide. A Prophet is not necessarily sent to all but to a
particular set of people within a location. Prophets have a sphere of
influence. God gives territories to them according to His
ordination.
Not everyone is called into the fivefold ministry of Jesus Christ,
you may not be called as a prophet, but surely God called you to be
a true lover of Jesus Christ, and a witness for the sake of the cross.
Even if you are called to be a prophet, you are still saddled with the
responsibility to build yourself in the place of prayer and the word
so that you will have an accurate understanding of the speaking and
voice of God as He speaks to you. If you don't build yourself, you
will be limited in your functioning in God.
A prophet must have an understanding of the sacrifices that
have the potency to open the heavens per season. Sacrifice surely
opens the heavens because the realm of the spirit answer highly to
sacrifices made with a pure heart and mind. Through scriptures,
prophets are demanded to offer sacrifices and obey certain
instructions that open the gates and doors of heavens over the
people.
15
Prophets are supposed to be quick to listen and to obey the voice

of God. Obedience increase your influence and trust in God. The
more you obey God, the more He permits His resources and power
to function in your life. Vision, dreams, trance and revelation are a
common means God uses to communicate to prophets. The office
of the prophet is given the permission and access into the depth of
dreams and vision that reveal things that will come to pass.
God speaks to His prophets in their hearts. They can perceive
Him by an inner witness and an inner knowing. He also uses
dreams, vision, revelation and trance to reveal the intent of His
heart to them at all times. People that function in the office of the
prophet are given the ability to create by decreeing the creating
word of God.
God has created and is still creating in our days, but His current
method of creation now is with the agency of prophetic men.
Through a collaboration with the creative prophetic ability, He
puts within man to create as He decrees from eternity into time.
Prophets can create by decreeing and declaring the things that be
not as though they are. When a prophet declares prophetically, the
authority on him given by God causes creation to occur.
A prophet has the ability to bless or curse a people. It is the
desire of God that He blesses His people, but He can curse evil and
wicked people on earth by judging them under His righteousness.
When a prophet does as he wishes and not as God pleases, he will
be heading towards danger that may cost him his life. It doesn't
matter what you are called to function in, even if you have not yet
16
realized your designation as called by God to function in life, you

are still supposed to be faithful serving The LORD and growing in
the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. For He who gives the office to
faithful individuals, knows their heart and only He knows what He
has predestined them to fulfil. Keep yourself always connected to
Him and by many encounters and visitations, a structure will be
formed within you to contain the prophetic offices of Christ Jesus
overtime. I pray The LORD my God and your God, reveals to you
the secrets of His glory as He rewards your labour of love. Amen.
Shalom!!!

Chapter Two
PROPHETIC THRONE
T he word 'prophetic-throne' may look complicated to

many or may sound like a new word, but it is not. We will
explain it in its simplest form in this book for a better
understanding. It is a combination of two words, which should be
seen as one for better comprehension. The word throne makes it
look strange. Prophetic expressions always sound strange to
people who do not deal with the prophetic on a daily basis.
Thrones speak of rulership and dominion over a sphere.
Thrones can be mobile and might be limited to a region. A king in a
particular city can rule and dominate in his region, but immediately
he enters another city, although he still remain a king, but his
dominion will be limited because he cannot rule and dominate a
people that are not of his own kingdom.
Every kingdom has a king that rules it and the king always has a
throne which is the centre of his power and dominion to rule. From
thence, he decrees his counsel. The throne of the prophetic is a
spiritual throne that is given by God to His elects to rule and govern
a sphere with power and authority. This throne can be inherited by
another elect of God. The throne is not visible and physical, but it is
a spiritual seat of power and influence.
Most people that are given the legal right by God to ascend that
18
The Prophetic & Vision PROPHETIC THRONE
prophetic throne of power become prophetic because they are

called to execute a prophetic agenda. The prophetic throne of God
has its own influence and realm of operation that is mobile and
territorial. Every throne has its power coming from the backing
and backbone of a clusters of spirit beings. Just like the throne of
God in heaven is surrounded by elders and spirit beings with eyes
and faces all around, these beings [elders, cherubim, seraphim,
arch angels and angels] form a clusters and a nexus that has an
epicentre in which God sits. When all the beings and spirits are in
harmony with each other and then subject to the one that sits on the
throne, then he becomes the king and rules by decree.
In the physical realm, kings have elders or a council and priest
or an oracle that speaks for the gods. The elders or council
represent a people because they are subjects of the throne. All the
people that are subjects are subjected to the throne not to the man,
but since he wields the influence and power of the throne then, they
are subject to him also. The power and influence of a throne is of no
effect until someone sits on it to execute and administrate it.
Every throne has power, although the power differs in ranking
and authority. Just as a president differs from a senator, and a
senator differs from a governor and a governor differs from a local
government administrator, so also there are differences in the
ranking of thrones in the spirit realm. The ranking of thrones is
depended upon the influence and the territorial power wielded. The
power and influence is either local or global.
19
Chapter Two PROPHETIC THRONE
Whosoever you are, even if regarded as common by others, the

day you sit upon the throne of the presidency, you cease to become
a common man but a man of influence and power with the ability to
legislate on behalf of a people. A throne is the centre of power and
influence. The throne influences the person that sits on it giving
him a new designation to function as a man of well renown.
Prophetic throne is the governing seat of power and authority
that gives the person that wields it supreme ruleship in that specific
region. Through the scriptures, we see how many prophets wielded
certain uncommon influence and dominion over cities, kings and
climate. This was possible through their lives by a governing
authority higher than that of the earth. When you sit upon the
throne of the prophetic, you become a one-man army, greater than
even a country. You will have heavenly beings and angels at your
disposal to help you in functioning. This throne of the prophetic is
only given by God to His choice ones that have passed through
certain training and discipline to be able to guard jealously the
affairs of His kingdom on the earth.
This throne of the prophetic is not a physical throne, but a
spiritual prophetic throne, although its influence is felt physically
as a result of the impact the individual that wields it under God has
on the earth. Most people that function on the throne of the
prophetic are prophets, but not necessarily called into the office of
the prophet. They possess the throne of the prophetic and do
nothing less than a prophet, sometime they even do more.
20
The throne of the prophetic is concerned with territorial

influence and governmental rulership of earthly kingdoms for
God. Not all prophets sit upon the throne of the prophetic. It is
possible for you to be a prophet by calling and not possess the
influence of the throne. Every region and city has a throne of the
prophetic that is to be possessed by a prophetic individual chosen
by God, this is mostly a selection by grace. No one decides to sit
upon the throne of the prophetic, you are enthroned upon that
authority by God Himself when you are fit for it. A region and a city
can only have one prophetic individual that sits on the prophetic
throne of that region. Such a region may have many other prophets
called by God, but God only selects one among them to sit on the
throne of the prophetic that influences all the others.
The person that sits upon the prophetic throne in a region might
not be that popular according to earthly dictate, but the throne has a
governmental penetrating ability that grants him the capacity to
decree a thing and it comes to pass in that region. Such a person
will have so much spiritual responsibilities in keeping the region
under God. Such a people are prophetic watchers and gatekeepers!
They may not prophesy at all times, but whenever they speak,
climate and spheres change. Their words are few but they are
words of power. These people are good intercessors and 'prayer
warriors.' God will do nothing within that region without telling
them. They are God's own men on the earth. Let's take a look at few
people God chose in times past to sit upon the throne of the
prophetic to administer His counsel on earth.
21
Moses was a man that was tremendously helped by God. God

raised him up to become a prophet over the whole nation of Israel
and gave him influence even in other kingdoms. His birth was
mysterious so also his preservation. He was born in a time when an
Israelite male child was forbidden in Egypt, as they were being
killed by the Egyptians. God called and separated him, then trained
him as a prophet and caused him to sit upon the prophetic throne of
Israel as a nation to deliver them from slavery and preserving them
through the wilderness.
And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a

prophet was he preserved. [Hosea 12:13]
As it is written that by a prophet The LORD delivered His

people and by a prophet He preserved them, Moses possessed an
uncommon power and authority from the day he was ordained by
God at the burning bush encounter. God gave him the seal and
power to use His name. Moses become the possessor of the throne
of the prophetic and he became a voice in the whole land of Israel
and was feared by his enemies.
Moses became like a god to pharaoh and his people, although
his desire was to see the will of God done through the lives of the
children of Israel. When a man that sits upon the throne of the
prophetic is challenged, there is always a clash of thrones. When
Moses went to the palace of pharaoh, there was a clash of thrones.
When two thrones clash, there is always a contention for territory
22
and loyalty. Moses was loyal to God so also his people, but pharaoh
and his people were loyal to a different god and those sitting on
those thrones had to defend it. Whenever the throne of God comes
to the earth and finds footing, the kingdom of God must prevail and
be revealed. There has never been a time in history where the
throne of God clashed with another throne on earth and was
defeated, no matter how weak the person that sits upon the throne
is. It is not about the person, but about the throne and its authority
that rules above all. That is why God does not just enthrone anyone
to sit and wield that authority of the throne, He selects such
prophetic people by grace and endow them with His power and
might to represent Him accurately. No man contends with God and
prospers!
The centre of the kingdom of God is the administrative function
of God and the centre of the administrative function of God is the
throne of God. That centre and throne has an extension on the earth
which is found in many regions, cities, states, countries, nations
and continent as a prophetic throne. That throne is global and has
unlimited influence in the heaven and on the earth. We saw how
through many signs and wonders the kingdom of heaven was
revealed by the agency of the throne and its dominion on the earth.
Moses was surprised when certain miracles happened through
him, he was as amazed as the people of Israel. The throne of God is
the highest authority, power and strength. There were many other
prophets in Israel at that time, but Moses surpasses them all. He sat
upon the throne of the prophetic that ruled and influenced the
23
nation of Israel. As it is written that:
And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses,
whom the LORD knew face to face. [Deuteronomy 34:10]
Such a man, God reckoned with and spoke to face to face must
have been given a place among the gods and sits upon the throne of
the prophetic that is governmental and influences all. Miriam and
Aaron were prophets in Israel, but they were still under Moses.
God spoke to them also, but God can choose to talk to Moses alone
without giving them a clue of what He communicated with Moses.
God cannot talk certain governmental and territorial things with a
man that is not sitting upon the throne of the prophetic. A man that
sits upon that throne has access into all that God so desires to do in
that nation. Now consider this story about another prophet that sat
on the prophetic throne:
And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt
thou go with me to Ramoth gilead? And he answered him, I am as
thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in
the war. And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I
pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day. Therefore the king of
Israel gathered together of prophets, four hundred men, and said
unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth gilead to battle, or shall I
forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the
king's hand. But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of
the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him? And the king of
Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we
may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied
good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of
24
Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so. And the king
of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, fetch quickly
Micaiah the son of Imla. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat
king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their
robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of
Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them. And
Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and
said, Thus saith the LORD, with these thou shalt push Syria until
they be consumed. And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go
up to Ramoth gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it
into the hand of the king. And the messenger that went to call
Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets
declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I
pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good. And Micaiah
said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I
speak. And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him,
Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth gilead to battle, or shall I
forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be
delivered into your hand. And the king said to him, how many
times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in
the name of the LORD? Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered
upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the
LORD said, these have no master; let them return therefore every
man to his house in peace. And the king of Israel said to
Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good
unto me, but evil? Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the
LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of
heaven standing on his right hand and on his left. And the LORD
said, who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and
fall at Ramoth gilead? And one spake saying after this manner,
and another saying after that manner. Then there came out a
spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And
the LORD said unto him, wherewith? And he said, I will go out,
and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the
25
LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go
out, and do even so. Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a
lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath
spoken evil against thee. Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah
came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, which
way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee? And
Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt
go into an inner chamber to hide thyself. Then the king of Israel
said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor
of the city, and to Joash the king's son; and say, Thus saith the
king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of
affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace. And
Micaiah said, if thou certainly return in peace, then hath not the
LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people. So the
king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to
Ramoth gilead. [2 Chronicles 18:3- 28]
This is a long passage, but I love it so much. There was a time in

Israel when King Jehoshaphat and Ahab wanted to go for war and
many prophets spoke the same things that suited the king, but
Micaiah came and spoke as a man that sat upon a throne. He said
that he was in the closet in the spirit when there was a court session
and a decision was taken on who is to go deceive King Ahab to go
to war so that he can die. Finally, a spirit volunteered to go and
cause all the prophets to lie to the king so that he can go and die.
When he spoke the counsel of God, he was rebuked by an elder
prophet who thought that God is a respecter of persons and that the
prophetic is measured by age and time. Micaiah was the one
selected by God to sit upon the prophetic throne of God in that
region. When an issue has to do with the government, territory,
26
nation or international, God's verdict must come from the throne of

the prophetic because that is the centre of the administrative
function of God that is accurate and trustworthy.
The throne of the prophetic is supreme and Micaiah sat on it at
that time and only his counsel was taken as divine. The other
prophets might not even know that they were influenced by a spirit
to lie because the transaction was beyond their own prophetic
sight. The throne of the prophetic is mobile and can be inherited by
another chosen by God even after the death of him that sits upon it.
We see that even after the death of Moses, the prophetic throne of
God still moved and demanded that someone sat on it. Joshua the
son of Nun was found worthy to wield and sit upon the spiritual
prophetic throne that Moses once occupied.
God told Joshua and Moses to be ready for the transition and
assured Joshua to be strong in Him for as He was with Moses so
will He will be with him till the end. It came to pass that Moses
transferred the mantle of the prophetic throne to Joshua, but with
the permission of God. Moses rested and was taken away. Joshua
became a voice after Moses, and led the children of Israel through
hard times and many wars until they crossed the river Jordan.
Joshua was a man that had cosmic influence. He was able to
influence even the constellations to work on his behalf. He
commanded the sun to stand still for a day, what a governmental
cosmic influence from the throne! That simple act of faith took
away a day out of February and till today February as a month has
28 or 29 days instead of 30 or 31 days. After many years of leading
27
the people of Israel, time came for Joshua to rest, but the throne of
the prophetic had to continue. The prophetic throne of God is
eternal, but people are variables that come in season as selected by
God. God had to raise another prophetic individual worthy to sit on
the prophetic throne for kingdom administration and influence.
The prophetic throne of God administers and fulfils the
prophetic agenda of God on the earth. This throne can remain
vacant if God cannot find a worthy man to occupy it. God cannot
just choose any prophet or a prophetic individual to sit on the
throne –You don't give unlimited power and authority to a fool, he
will misuse and abuse it, but a man of wisdom with the fear of The
Lord can handle the power of God and His unlimited ability to rule
and influence a terrain well.
When Joshua rested in The Lord, the throne became vacant for a
while, as God could not find a worthy man He can trust with such
an influence. The people of Israel needed someone more than a
prophet in the land that will speak the accurate current revelation
position of God. Although there might be some prophets in the land
of Israel even after the death of Joshua, the priest and Levites were
still functional, but the throne of God that is governmental and
global needed to be occupied by someone God can trust.
Until the prophetic throne of God is occupied, the people of God
can be limited in their dealing with God. Someone needed to
ascend that throne to take the prophetic people of God to a new
level in their journey into God. It came to pass that a woman was
found worthy by God and selected to seat upon the throne of the
28
prophetic. As it was written that “Deborah rose up as a mother in

Israel, she became a judge and a prophetess in the land. She was a
warrior with the wisdom of God.”
She sat under her palm tree to judge and guide the children of
Israel aright. She tapped into the unending realities and influences
of the heavens to reveal the will of the kingdom of God on the
earth. Kings, priest and princes came to her to seek wisdom as she
counselled them aright and by divine inspiration she was able to
proffer solutions for them. The throne of the prophetic made her so
powerful and influential.
Deborah was the wife of Lapidoth. She was known as the wife
of a man, but when the throne came upon her, she became a mother
of all and a judge in the land. The inheritance of the throne of the
prophetic and the wisdom of God ruled and influenced her life
beyond the normal. She led the Israelites to war against Sisera. She
saw and prophesied the outcome of the battle before they went. She
was a prophetess with a difference because the throne
superimposed her. It was written that the stars in the skies fought in
their cause for her.
After the reign of Deborah, the throne continued to move and
since someone must wield its influence and allow God's purpose to
be fulfilled on the earth, God decided that the throne be divided
among the tribes, but the influence should still remain with Judah
as the sceptre that will hold the throne till Christ comes as the seed
of David. Twelve elders were selected among the twelve tribes to
become the head of each tribe representing them before the council
29
in times when God called for a summoning. Although the influence

of the throne was divided among the tribes, the epicentre stilled
remain with Judah as God has selected them to bear the sceptre
through which The Messiah will be born.
God raised judges to judge the enemies of Israel, men like
Othniel the son of Kenaz, Samson, Gideon and many more. All
these people were given the prophetic mandate to wield the
influence of the prophetic throne of God for a season in the form of
an unction of the prophetic. The throne was not given to them to
seat upon as an inheritance, but He gave them the grace and divine
enablement as an unction that came upon them to function for Him.
With that enablement, they were able to function within the season
effectively under God.
Daniel was a man that ruled in the empire of Babylon. He sat
upon the prophetic throne of God in Babylon. He ruled against the
customs and traditions of the empire which contradicted the values
of God. He was able to subdue the kingdom of Babylon under God.
The throne of the prophetic which has a governmental and global
territorial influence was able to influence even the king of the
whole Babylonian Empire. He became an oracle in the land and
ruled with the king until the death of the king. The prophetic throne
which is mobile still sustained its influence upon Daniel even in the
next generation of kingship in Babylon.
Daniel became the prophetic voice for the king and one of the
law makers of the land. The throne of the prophetic gave him a
prophetic placement in the palace to influence the kingdom for
30
God. Such a man was more than a prophet. He sat on the throne that
ruled the land he occupied. He was considered a god in Babylon by
the kings that he worked with. They saw a dimension of god in him
that made them give him such placement and designation of a god.
Daniel was given the name of the gods of Babylon and placed
above all the magicians and astrologers in the land. God required a
man that will sit upon the throne of nations and rule them from the
court of heaven.
Anytime Daniel was challenged by another throne, his God
fought for him from the power of the throne of the prophetic that he
sat upon. When he was put in the den of lions, the influence of the
throne of the prophetic that governed nature was activated to
influence the lions who are part of the creation of God. It is worthy
to note that when the prophetic throne of God is at work, no man is
permitted to boast, even the prophet that sits upon it. He can only
boast in God not about his ability.
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the
son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob;
and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; And Judas begat Phares
and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat
Aram; And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat
Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; And Salmon begat Booz of
Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat
Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; And Solomon
begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; And
Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat
Ozias; And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and
31
Achaz begat Ezekias; And Ezekias begat Manasses; and

Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; And Josias begat
Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away
to Babylon; And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias
begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; And Zorobabel
begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat
Eliud; And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and
Matthan begat Jacob; And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of
Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. [Matthew
1:1-16]
The prophetic throne of God that was to birth The Messiah as a

sceptre upon the tribe of Judah rested upon David, the son of Jesse,
the son of Obed, the son of Booz. David sat upon the prophetic
throne of his forefathers that God gave them as a heritage by a
promise and a decree from the patriarch Jacob. God chose David to
be the one that will birth forth the Christ the throne of David is a
prophetic throne that can also be inherited and its rulership is also
governmental.
David was graced by God with power and the jealousy of God
was seen in his life. He fought many wars and lost none. A throne
was his backing and backbone. That throne gave him insight into
the truth about the coming of The Messiah and how his life and
suffering will be like on earth. David was made to be a prototype
that Christ Jesus will come into. He possessed some of the
inheritance of Christ Jesus which is the throne of the prophetic that
has its influence and power from the court of heaven.
32
The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for
ever after the order of Melchizedek. [Psalm 110:4]
Melchizedek is a priest after the order of Christ Jesus. He sat

upon that mobile throne of the prophetic in the priesthood
dimension in times past. David inherited the priesthood throne
from Melchizedek and sat upon the prophetic throne that Christ
Jesus will come to inherit. No wonder David functioned as a king,
priest and a prophet in the land. Jesus Christ when He sat upon the
throne of David, He functioned in the priesthood of Melchizedek
and prophetic throne of David. Till today, Jesus Christ is still
referred to as The Son of David in the flesh, although His father
was Joseph in the flesh. He is referred to as The Son of God in the
spirit by adoption as He was begotten by The Father and born by
the agency of The Holy Spirit infilling the womb of the virgin
Mary. The throne of the priesthood of Melchizedek that David sat
upon and the prophetic throne are eternal and function forever.
Jesus Christ has now inherited and possess those thrones, coming
into its functioning forever after the order of David and
Melchizedek a priest forever.
I want you to note that the prophetic throne of God might not be
inherited by a relative or a son as seen in our society today. It has
been a norm in our society that when an overseer dies, his relative
succeeds him, but that might not be the ordinance of God. The
prophetic throne of God can move to another depending on the
33
selection of grace by God. As Joshua was not a relative to Moses,

so also Deborah was not of Joshua. God is no respecter of person;
Samuel was a child of omen that God prepared by covenant to sit
on the throne after Eli.
Eli's children were not considered worthy of the throne their
father occupied and God had to raise a Samuel even when he was
not from the linage of the prophetic to succeed and sit on the throne
as a priest and a prophet in Israel. He was more than a prophet he
had governmental authority and ruled the kingdom under God.
Before he died, God had him transfer the throne to David as a king,
priest and a prophet neglecting Saul.
In terrible times when darkness seems to cover Israel, Jezebel
and Ahab controlled the affairs of the land and propagated
darkness. God raised a governmental prophet to sit upon the
prophetic throne to judge the idolatry that had ruled for long.
Elijah, a man from the tribe of Tishbite, sat upon the prophetic
throne of Israel in his time. He came with a decree that proved the
sovereign nature of God in the land and revealed that God still
rules. He was anointed with so much power, his limitation in God
was minimal. He challenged a whole kingdom in a contest to prove
the superiority of God.
Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said

unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I
stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to
my word. [1 kings 17:1]
34
He was able to shut down the heavens that it did not rain for
three and a half years. Before then, there were many other prophets
in the land, but this one was a man with a throne that spoke. He did
many signs and wonders in the land and was fed by a raven in time
of famine. His life was supernatural and full of encounters. He was
always ready and willing to put his life at stake to stand with God.
The king sent an army of 50 to capture him three times and he
called down fire from heaven to consume them. 'A man that knows
God fears few things in life.’
Elijah was a prophet that detested anything that did not exalt
The LORD. He was truly a prophet that sought to enthrone God in
the land. He was a mouthpiece and a voice that spoke for God in the
land. When the time came for heaven to be opened for the
transition of Elijah unto glory and rest, the throne that he occupied
needed to be succeeded by another faithful witness for the
propagating of the kingdom of God. Elisha, who was a protégé of
Elijah was selected by God to become the next successor of the
throne of the prophetic. The throne became vacant but as Elijah
was being taken by a whirlwind into heaven, Elisha was chosen
with the mantle and mandate to continue in the spirit and authority
of Elijah. Elisha was not the only prophet or the only son of the
prophet, but he was selected by God and he became a man of
influence the day the throne superimposed him.
Elisha did many signs and wonders even more than what Elijah
did. He was able to slain Jezebel who terrorized the life of Elijah
the prophet in his days by the wisdom of God and with the help of
35
Jehu. When it was time for Elisha to transit to heaven, the throne of
the prophetic needed to be occupied by another, but Gehazi who
was the protégé of Elisha had incurred upon himself a curse as a
result of his greediness and disobedience. Gehazi was supposed to
succeed Elisha as the new prophetic individual to wield the
influences of the throne, but as he compromised in his dealings, he
failed. The throne remained vacant in the spiritual realm until God
found someone fit to seat on it. As it was prophesied that Elijah will
come again, that throne was occupied by John the Baptist when he
walked the earth in the spirit and in the power of Elijah.
John the Baptist was a prophet who was termed a voice crying
out in the wilderness. He was jealous to see the kingdom of God
rule in the land. He sat upon the throne of the prophetic to introduce
Jesus Christ to the world. John was a man like Elijah. Truly, the
spirit of Elijah and that prophetic throne was given to John the
Baptist to occupy before Jesus will come to take it as the
prophesied root of David who will sit on the throne. Jesus Christ
said that Elijah has come but was not recognized by many. He was
referring to John the Baptist as the Elijah that was to come. And he
will still come again since the throne of the prophetic keeps
functioning on the earth. Elijah will come in our day and time
before the coming of Yeshua.
The vacant prophetic thrones that God has put in place for many
generations long ago are now being occupied by many faithful
witnesses in the body of Christ. Prophetic throne still functions in
many cities, lands, states, nations and countries. There are men
36
who subdued nations, kings and kingdoms who died and left their
thrones unoccupied. God still ordains people in our day to seat
upon the throne of the prophetic to rule and influence
governmentally a city or a nation.
When you see a prophet, he is usually separated by God from
among his fellows and given a higher voice in the whole nation and
land and he may likely be sitting on the prophetic throne of that
nation. He will always have a first-hand spiritual counsel
pertaining the land from God. In time past, there was a man named
Saint Patrick of the Celtic tribe of Ireland. He was able to rule and
subdue the land and its kingdom under God. He had no fear for a
mortal being. He challenged wizards and judged many of them in
his days. He sat upon the prophetic throne of the land, and
administered it under God. Many signs and wonders were done
through him, thereby proving the supremacy of God in the whole
kingdom.
There was another man named William Mario Branham. He sat
upon the prophetic throne of a nation in his day. He was not the
only prophet in the land, but his voice and authority was eminent.
He has stature with God, God graced him heavily to represent Him
accurately. Many people misuse the throne of God given to them.
Just like Saul misused the influence of the throne that was given to
him by God, it was taken and that caused him his life at last.
As a faithful servant and a bond slave to Christ Jesus, be
effective in obedient at all time. God might select you by grace to
inherit a throne of the prophetic that is vacant in your own sphere of
37
influence. God can decide to cause you to front head a move of The
Spirit which may require Him granting you the ability to sit upon a
throne that will influence the nation. You must sustain a holy
jealousy to see the kingdom of God come in your society. When
God sees it fit for you to ascend that throne, He will place you upon
a pedestal that no man has achieve in the city. There are many cities
with vacant prophetic throne, and no man has pleased the heart of
God that He will place upon it to rule on His behalf. You can be that
worthy soul He will elevate. David was nobody in his family, but
when God chose him to seat upon the throne, he became another
man with much more influence.
Your background is never an excuse when it comes to your
dealings with God. God can choose to elevate whosoever He
wishes as long as the individual has fulfilled His demands to bring
His kingdom to the land revealing His love to all. I took an
inventory and found out that in many cities, there are many people
and voices that represent God, but those lands lack a person that
sits upon the throne of the prophetic in the land to speak the counsel
of God with accuracy and precision.
In a land there has to be a man with the penetrating power and
ability to make a demand from heaven and sit upon the
governmental and territorial prophetic throne that has its epicentre
in the heaven. There has to be an Elijah that can demand the
attention of the king and an Elisha that can decree that “by this time
tomorrow” for things to change. We don't have to be average and
mediocre in our dealings with God. God has a better plan for us and
38
demand that His kingdom is first, and His prophets have a voice
that cover spheres of influence.
How many prophetic people do you know in your country that
when they speak and give a word of prophecy, it is not just for the
men and women in the pew, but for the whole country? We need
prophetic word that can change our systems and sphere, we need
words that will cause an impact even to the cosmos at large as
prophet of The LORD. The throne of the prophetic is not a
powerless throne, we must pay the price and win the heart of God
through obedience to become that people and generation that God
is looking and longing for that will subdue kingdoms for Him.
The darkness in our generation looks insurmountable. The
increase in darkness was possible because men made an exchange
with the devil and the devil is after control and dominion. So, he is
willing to offer you an apple so he can take the garden of apples, but
that has to change because a new breed of prophetic people is
emerging with a heart circumcised with the jealousy of the
kingdom. They desire to see the will of God rule and reign on the
earth.
I believe that thrones are not supposed to be vacant because they
are not designed to be so. The vacant prophetic thrones of past
generations will be occupied by a new breed of prophetic people in
various lands. God will install men and women upon the various
thrones in lands, cities and nations for the sake of His kingdom.
God will begin to govern the world through the government of
prophetic individuals upon various prophetic thrones scattered
39
everywhere in the world.

The kingdom of God will not come if all the systems of the
world is influenced by darkness. True sons are rising to take their
place according to divine placement and many will be given the
right to ascend thrones of the prophetic so that they can keep
decreeing the current counsel of God in our nations so that our
presence may be felt and the government be subdued under God. It
has always been my cry that we don't just die praying and
expecting a revival without seeing it come to pass.
Learn to position yourself aright at all times so that when God
wants to cause a movement in the land, He will find you a worthy
vessel and tool for His use. Follow after the old pattern for the
pursuit of God which is an unquenchable desire to fast, pray and
study, these will take you to a higher level in God. Also, have a
great desire to love God, this will keep you saved in His grace and
power. Most people that are given the permission to inherit the
throne of the prophetic of a land are people that have no personal
agenda. I have decided to burn my life as a living sacrifice as an
incense to The Lord for His glory. We must always focus on The
Lord and seek to see His kingdom exalted and manifest in our
lands.
A lot of times I weep bitterly in despair wondering if there is no
more for our generation. We do little and are so comfortable and
content when there is so much more to attain in God. No wonder
our lives and living confuse us daily! If we all can decide to give
40
ourselves no rest until we see Christ glorified in our lives and in the
lives of others around us, it will not take long before God begins to
visit us with His power and might. I do ask myself, if it is highly
dependent upon me for the fulfilment of the plan of God in my land,
what will I do?
Most believers don't live with this sense of urgency and
responsibility to fulfil the plan of God in their lives. We all are
entangle with a lot of burden in the flesh, but a heart and mind that
is determined see no limitation. When you are determined to love
God no matter how the devil tries to stop you, your desperation for
God will consume you and never permit you to yield to him.
It doesn't matter if you are weak in the spirit and in the flesh,
always learn to at least cry unto God even if that is what you will be
doing day in and day out. Let it be that your voice is reaching out to
God asking for help with a genuine heart. Many people are
ashamed of God. God created you and knows all about you. You
don't have a secret when it comes to God, there is nothing to hide
from Him, He just want us to be open hearted and genuine towards
Him. He will always supply strength and grace to the weary and to
them that are poor in heart and spirit.
You may have felt disappointed by God, and your hope is
deferred. It is true that “hope deferred makes the heart weary and
sick, but desire is always a tree of life (Proverbs 13:12),” why not
desire again so that life can flow through you again.
Disappointment can lead to discouragement and depression, but
the appointment of The Lord will make the heart glad and merry.
41
Don't allow your place of disappointment become a bus stop for

your life, but continue in faith and encourage yourself in The Lord
for there is a better part of life that you have not seen that is hidden
in God. He will cause His goodwill to come to pass in your life in
due season.
We all can make a decision to continue in God being faithful in
obedience until we inherit or pioneer a throne of the prophetic in
our time. The Spirit of The LORD will always show us love in our
pursuit. The Holy Spirit, our comforter and partner will cause us to
see a glimpse of what the future holds and release the grace to push
until we attain the maximum limit in our potentials as God has
entailed and predestined for us.
Many people are predestined to sit upon the prophetic thrones
of nations and lands, but they have not yet pleased the heart of The
Father to come into that inheritance yet. Some gave up before their
coronation and convocation into that ordination to the throne of the
prophetic. We must endure the discipline of God as it will result to a
better inheritance in God overtime. I pray that The Lord God
rewards your labour of love according to His riches in glory. Amen.
Shalom!!!

Chapter Three
PROPHETIC UNCTION
T his is another manifestation of the prophetic common in

the Old Testament. It is another manifestation of The Spirit
of God upon individuals. It happens when The Spirit of
God falls upon people spontaneously and they begin to prophesy
and speak words of divine wisdom. When The Spirit of God had
not yet dwelt within men, this manifestation was prominent. The
Spirit of God only began to tabernacle within men from the day of
Pentecost to fulfil prophesy spoken of in Joel 2:28-32.
God is in desperate need to communicate His counsel to His
people, He does that sometimes by the release of an unction of the
prophetic, suddenly coming upon an individual to speak His word
for the moment. The unction of The Spirit of God is the ability of
The Spirit of God to release and grant divine utterance to an
individual in time the individual never prepared for. You don't have
to be a prophet to experience the unction of the prophetic.
Prophetic unction is manifest even among people that are not
prophetic in nature. Some of the people that experience it never
believed that they can prophesy. Just as it is possible for the
countenance of another person to sharpen that of another because
he that associates with a wise becomes wise naturally. Have you
ever found yourself in a situation where because you are in the
43
The Prophetic & Vision PROPHETIC UNCTION
midst of a certain spiritual people with certain spiritual realities

you find yourself functioning in the same spiritual reality you were
never functioning in before? It became possible because of the
atmosphere they created and sustained. Such an atmosphere can
create that possibility for you to enjoy and function in a greater
grace by the unction of The Holy Spirit.
Many years ago in my quest and desire for more of God, I found
myself associating and keeping company with prophetic and
apostolic fathers. It was not long before I began to exhibit some
unction of the prophetic and function of the apostolic. I realized
that I began to function in realms that I knew I was not qualified for,
although it did not last, it surely served its purpose for that time.
Whenever am with the fathers, I begin to experience a different
level of wisdom and mental capacity. I have insight and revelations
into many mysteries. It was like their company opened me to a
portal beyond my normal range of sight and influence in the spirit
world.
I find myself speaking at another level and speaking things I
never recited or knew before. I have a different level of
comprehension and understanding that is faster than normal. I
never really knew what to call the experience at first, but I realized
it was an unction of the prophetic that I received from The Holy
Spirit when I am with them. That was possible because of their
stature in the spirit realm. When prophetic people gather together
in one accord, the portals and gates of heaven are opened for
apostolic transmission between the realms.
44
Chapter Three PROPHETIC UNCTION
The unction of The Spirit is like an ointment that is poured out to

function and it requires a conducive atmosphere of the spirit for
that transaction to happen. When the unction of the prophetic is
released upon you, you find yourself excessively wise knowing so
much things to declare and speak. That unction may not last long,
but it always serves its purpose for the moment.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all
things. [1 John 2:20]
The release of the unction of The Lord is like an oil that is
bought to be used for the moment to serve a temporary purpose.
That oil is of The Lord which is administered to you by The Holy
Spirit of Truth Himself. Prophetic unction always comes with
depth of revelation and insight into secrets and deeper truths of
God. We must learn to make a demand upon the unction of The
Lord. If you can create that conducive atmosphere within you for
The Spirit of God to release His unction on you for the moment to
prophesy and solve uncommon problems, it will be a great
achievement in God.
There are times while I counsel, I find myself lacking the
accurate wisdom to administer the counsel of God. But as I make a
demand of wisdom from God, an unction is released upon me to
speak. I suddenly asked The Lord within my heart for His
prophetic unction that grants me revelation and insight into deeper
truths and realities. All of a sudden, I felt a release upon me to speak
words of wisdom that solves problems. That unction mostly leaves
me immediately it serves its purpose.
45
When the unction of the prophetic comes upon you, it comes

like the showering of the rain from the crown of your head. Your
level of wisdom is elevated as you find yourself talking and
speaking things you know nothing about. This may not always
happen like this, but whenever it happens to you, you are
catapulted to a different realm of reality that grants you uncommon
access to spiritual truths that administer life.
This is a vital prophetic dimension and manifestation that was
also common in the Old Testament before the baptism of The Holy
Spirit on the day of Pentecost. God used to speak to His people
primarily by a medium of mostly prophetic people, and other
times, He chooses a man to consecrate himself and be prepared to
be His mouthpiece to the people. When He cannot find a worthy
man to do that, He releases His unction prophetically upon anyone
to declare His counsel to the people. There was a time when the
donkey of Balaam spoke to him. That had to be by an unction
because a donkey cannot speak especially to the understanding of a
man. The Spirit of God rested on many people as an unction
consistently to enable them speak His counsel for the edification of
His people.
Now that The Holy Spirit is dwelling within us, the unction of
the prophetic can be released upon us for our edification and
counsel in wisdom during our times of trouble. Most of my
revelatory insights that come instantly is always traceable to an
unction of the prophetic. When I began to function in the prophetic,
I found myself walking up to people and speaking words that I
46
never prepared to speak to them. These words carry truth and

secrets I never would have known without an inspiration from The
Holy Spirit. This is called an unction.
Sometimes, I find it a strange manifestation because it makes
me look like am lost for a moment and back to myself after a while.
This manifestation can be momentarily and the only consolation I
had then was that it was not repugnant to them and carried certain
truths that the people ministered to can attest to. Most times when
you speak from the unction of the prophetic to people, they break
out in tears of joy confirming that it had to be a divine orchestration
by God Himself for such a truth to be revealed to a stranger.
Consolation came to me when I realized that I was not the only
one confused and wondering what strange manifestation has
befallen me overtime. I met a lady that was very timid, I considered
her to be the shy type of people that hardly speaks to strangers.
Somehow we became friends and I began seeing her in my
prophetic dreams but those dreams left me dumbfounded. We
never spoke a word in the dream, we just observed spiritual
operations in that realm. This happened for a while until I realized
what God wanted me to do for her. I realized that she is a prophetic
watcher and a seer. This kind of prophetic people can be very quiet
by mere looks, but are always active in the spirit. They always
watch over spheres and terrains in silence, praying and groaning all
day. We undertook some prophetic instructions as God demanded
for the purification and dominion of certain spiritual geographical
sphere as apportioned to us.
47
One day we were discussing many prophetic encounters,

visitations and experiences, giving more insight and
understanding to them –This I do most times with prophetic
individuals and friends. This helped to open again that realm of
operation to cause its reality to manifest in our lives again.
Something always switches on within you when you share and talk
about your prophetic encounters, visitations and experiences in
God.
This lady shared an encounter that she had with her dad. Her dad
was a very authoritative man that loved to give command to people
and he hardly accepted correction from others especially when that
person is of no rank and match of him. One day, God wanted to
humble him because he has been wrong in many things, but no one
was able to rebuke him. As she sat on the couch in the parlour and
he was coming into the parlour, suddenly the unction of the
prophetic came upon her to speak to him in boldness and power.
She described it as something entering her and setting her on her
feet. She began to speak words to him that she never meditated on.
He was dumbfounded and lost in thought and surprised, but was
quiet listening to her as she spoke for a few minutes. When the
unction of the prophetic lifted upon her, she relaxed and rested. The
father was sober and broken at the words she spoke to him. From
that day, the father began to respect her and always listened to her
when she contributed to the family. He knew that she was not just
an ordinarily daughter. She had no understanding to what had
happened to her, but she knew it has to be God. Only the father
48
knew what he heard her spoke, but it changed him forever. What
she experienced was the unction of the prophetic.
The unction of the prophetic gives uncommon boldness to even
the most timid among us. It is like a minute of supernatural
possibilities for the individual. Prophetic unction can give you the
ability to prophesy at any time. It is not really a vision, dream or
hearing The Holy Spirit talk to you in your heart, it is like a total
borrowing and control of your mental faculties to speak the
counsel of God for the moment. The unction of the prophetic looks
like a prophetic action you have no control over for the moment
–thank God it doesn't last for long. Nevertheless, it is a good
experience! Most people that have such experiences love and
enjoy it. There is nothing as good as being used genuinely by God
for His kingdom and glory.
I know someone that when the unction of the prophetic comes
upon him, he begins to prophesy and speak the counsel of God. The
person only gets to rest when the spirit that brought the unction has
lifted. Most people that function in that unction don't even realize
they did that and prophesy within those moments, it takes them
unaware. I know a guy that was once taken by surprise by the
unction of the prophetic. It came upon him on a faithful day and he
began to prophesy uncontrollable. The next day when I saw him
and reminded him of the experience he had yesterday, he pleaded
that I forget about it. It dawned on me that sometimes these people
are not prepared for the unction of the prophetic and when it comes
upon them, it looks like it embarrassed them, but God is no
49
respecter of person. If He chooses to speak through you, you

should even consider it a great privilege. The unction of the
prophetic is supernatural and it can happen to anyone in our time.
This manifestation can be contained in us if we can grow and
increase our capacity in the spirit to be able to contain more of God.
Many people have not enlarged their spiritual capacity so that
when a little anointing and unction come upon them, they find
themselves in a situation that they can't control themselves
anymore. Falling down under the anointing should not be a custom
and a tradition for you, maturity should minimize your falling
down on every impartation of The Spirit. “Having done all to stand
you should always stand.” I have seen people that have been
praying and slaying themselves in the spirit for years, and I wonder
when will they come into maturity and rest in God.
The anointing does not come on you because you fall, but
because your heart and spirit is open to receive. Am not against
falling under the anointing, but when you fall, let it be under a
heavy unction beyond your spiritual capacity not just going down
on every touch of the hand. I have fallen under the power of God
and am still falling, but if I can control myself, there is no need to
fall. When I sense the anointing and unction in a meeting coming in
a great measure on me, I get down before it falls me down, but if I
can't control myself, then I fall. Nevertheless, we should not just be
after falling under the power, but we should be after receiving the
impartation of God of the anointing poured out at that moment.
50
Have you ever prayed before until you reached a realm where
you find yourself speaking words that you don't know and have no
control of? Sometimes you find yourself singing songs, hymns and
psalms you can't put to human language. This is not really groaning
as usual, but words and spiritual songs that are edifying to the
spirit. This happens by an unction of the prophetic Spirit of God,
they are easily forgotten if not recorded.
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled
with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in
your heart to the Lord. [Ephesians 5:18-19]
The unction of the prophetic can also be experienced when you
are filled and drunk in the love of The Holy Spirit. Once, I belonged
to a prophetic network that desired people to experience the love of
Christ and be filled with The Spirit of God. We took out quality
time to pray in The Holy Spirit and sing songs that grant us access
into the court of heaven so that we can experience the
unconditional love of God.
Most times, God pours out His Spirit and love upon us that we
can't even contain it. We all break out in laughter, tears and joy in
The Holy Ghost. Others even dance in the spirit as many prophesy
as The Spirit gives them utterance. These people that experienced
these manifestations are not prophets, but normal people that love
God. The prophetic manifestation of The Spirit and His gifts are for
all. Anyone that so desires to function in them will see them at work
in his life.
51
The people that prophesy when The Spirit of God is released in

a meeting do that by the unction of the prophetic. Most of them
have no idea whatsoever of what happened to them when the
meeting is over. Babes in the prophetic can roll on the floor and do
lots of gibberish and drama before they prophesy, but as you
mature, you can contain God and stand to declare and decree His
counsel to people. A man called as a prophet in office or to sit in the
throne of the prophetic need not to roll on the floor to prophesy, he
stands and decrees the counsel of God. He must go through many
disciplines and schooling that brings him to a level of maturity in
God to contain the prophetic speaking of God. He has a lot of
spiritual capacity to contain the voice of God when He speaks.
There has been a lot of misconceptions about the manifestation
of the unction of the prophetic in the life of people. Many consider
it a demonic manifestation. It is obvious that when a person is
under the unction of the prophetic, it looks like an individual that is
possessed with demonic spirit. The unction of the prophetic upon
most spiritual babes that have not developed enough capacity to
function maturely is seen in an uncontrollable demonstration.
Nevertheless, that is not the basis to judge The Spirit of God at
work in a man's life because the prophetic cannot be discerned by
the flesh or by some physical analysis, but only by the spirit. When
you discern the prophetic manifestation of The Holy Spirit in the
flesh, you will be misguided into many errors. You need the help of
The Holy Spirit Himself to help you discern and guide you aright
52
on how to distinguish between that which is holy and that which is

profane.
Prophetic people never see themselves after the order of the
flesh, but the spirit. They believe that God relates with them in
uncommon ways and manners that may not be understood for a
normal believer that is not knowledgeable and skilled in the
prophetic. I have a lot of such prophetic friends and they do a lot of
prophetic things that even me as a prophetic individual find them
strange, but I can't deny that it is of God. God's dealings with
prophetic people are different and cannot be comprehended by
someone who is not of their fold.
Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola of Christ Apostolic Church was a
renowned minister of the gospel in his days. He was known as an
apostle and he sat upon the throne of the prophetic in his land. He
was a revivalist and a pioneer of the move of God in many cities
and states. He challenged the wizards and warlords of different
lands and territories. His authority and power came from his
rugged relationship and walk with God. He was known as a man of
prayer. He was praying on a mountain top which was his regular
routine, when he was encountered by Arch Angel Michael who
gave him a physical bell as a mantle of signs and wonders. He told
him to carry the bell to wherever he goes to minister and ring it, for
many signs and wonder will happen through him and many will
come to Christ Jesus.
I heard that there was a day he returned from the mountain and
demanded for water to drink from his daughter. The daughter was
53
delaying and behaving sluggishly and he jokily said, “Why are you
behaving as if you are mad?” instantly his daughter became mad. It
was a shock and a surprise to him because he never asked God to
make his daughter mad. He realized that his words are powerful!
Words spoken by generals and people that sit upon the prophetic
throne of power don't fall to the ground. They have angels and
celestial beings backing them to speak so that they can act to fulfil
it. Of course, he prayed for her and she recovered.
David also had a time when he wished to drink water from the
well of the enemies, it was just a wish without a command.
Unknown to him some of his faithful valiant men in battle took it
upon themselves to fulfil his wish even if it will lead to their death.
They broke through the camp of the enemies and fought killing
many just to secure the water for the king. As they returned to
David with the water, he was surprise and refuse to drink the water.
He decided to offer it as a sacrifice unto God. He said that he is not
worthy to drink the water that came as a result of the blood of many
spilled, let God take it as a sacrifice if it please Him.
I learnt of another prophet that seat upon the prophetic throne of
God in his location named, William Mario Branham. This man was
praying for the sick in his meeting as it was time to minister to
people with infirmity. A man came to the meeting to test him and
see if he is truly a man of God. The man was not sick but stood on
the prayer line with a caption of an ailment. He gave himself a
designated deadly sickness. When the prophet came to him, he told
him that he is not sick, but claims to have an infirmity just to test
54
him, therefore that infirmity he claims shall befall him.

Immediately, the man took upon himself the sickness and became a
carrier of the sickness he claimed to have initially. What he did
might seem right to you, but it is very wrong for you to put God to
the test. You can test the spirit of the prophet, but don't put The God
of the prophet to test by testing the ordination and authority upon
him. Of course, the man was later prayed for and he became healed.
This similar situation happened to Gehazi. Elisha was the
prophet that sat upon the prophetic throne that Elijah his father left.
When Elisha confronted Gehazi of the evil he did in the name of
The LORD, he refused to accept his mistake, he rather lied to The
Spirit of God. Immediately, he became leprous and was unable to
fulfil his destiny and calling in God because of his greed.
Prophetic people are powerful people, especially those that are
God's own men, who are in complete obedience. It is written that
you can judge any disobedience when your obedience is complete
in God. I belong to a Prophetic School for Kingdom Agent and a
School of the Spirit which is pioneered by one of my mentors.
There are times when people have several prophetic experiences
that many consider it demonic by an observation of the flesh.
Manifestation of The Spirit such as dancing, singing, laughing
and shouting in the spirit were mistaken for some occult art and
demonic manifestation. These are manifestations of The Spirit that
occur when people are filled and drunk in The Spirit. It was written
that David danced to The LORD and David usually put the priest in
the frontline to sing psalms to The LORD as they marched for
55
battle. We also saw how God commanded the Israelites to march

and shout around the wall of Jericho.
The prophetic manifestations of God are always spontaneous.
To accurately discern the manifestation of the prophetic in an
individual, you test the spirit at work in his life. You test his
operation: does it agree with the word of Christ and does his
messages glorify Jesus Christ? You also consider his character and
the fruit of The Spirit whether they are at work in his life. If he is of
The Spirit of Truth, then he will bear its fruit and his character and
attitude will reflect the love of Christ Jesus.
In the spirit realm, likes attract likes while in the physical likes
repel, but unlike attracts. When you come close to a minister and
you feel a repelling force that is trying to resist The Holy Spirit in
you, then such man must have a foreign spirit he functions with.
You may not love a minister, but The Holy Spirit in him is supposed
to bear witness with The Holy Spirit in you that Christ Jesus is
LORD. The kingdom of God is measured in peace, righteousness
and joy in The Holy Spirit. When you don't have this attribute when
you are with a minister and a ministry, then you need to reconsider
whether the minister is genuine. Because, if it is of the kingdom of
God, then there must be righteousness, peace and joy in The Holy
Spirit at work in the life of the members under the ministry. Things
might not be easy and comfortable but those attributes of God are
supposed to be present in the ministry.
Perfect love cast out all fears, fear is of the devil. When you
realize that there is a fear that befalls you when you come around a
56
prophetic person, you may have to reconsider if he is genuine in

God. A true minister is supposed to be a dispenser of love and grace
to others. Our spirits as believers has to agree with each other in
love when we come together. When I come around someone and
sense a fear, I know that a demonic spirit must have been disturbing
the individual. Sometimes, I can even sense the oppression of
demons around the person. Demonic bondage can be sensed and
felt. When you see such people, cast out the devil by administering
deliverance to them.
I recall those days back on campus. As we prayed, many people
came under the unction of the prophetic to prophesy, but those that
are spiritual babes were always prone to be influenced by familiar
spirit especially those that lacked sufficient knowledge of the word
of God and the prophetic. Since the devil loves to prey on our
ignorance, he took advantage of that moment to pervert their
utterances in the prophetic. Paul said, when someone is
prophesying let others be silent to listen and judge what he speaks
and when the person that is prophesying is influenced and you
discern it, just rebuke the familiar spirit that caused him to speak
falsehood by commanding him to be silent in the name of Jesus
Christ. Surely, prophetic manifestation can be influenced by evil
demonic spirit, but if the spirit can deceive one, it cannot deceive
all of you in the prayer network.
And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in
the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. [Judges
13:25]
57
Samson was a man that operated strongly in the unction of the

prophetic. He was anointed by God, but his anointing was stirred
up usually by the unction of the prophetic. The unction of the
prophetic usually came upon him to give him strength and power
momentarily. It was written that when he passed through the region
of Zorah and Eshtaol he felt the unction of God. He looks like an
ordinary a man, but immediately the unction comes upon him, he
changes at that moment to another man to war against his enemies.
In his days, God used him mightily to subdue the enemies of Israel
and he resisted them till his death.
Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of
Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of
the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit ofthe LORD in the midst
of the congregation; And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah,
and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king
Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid
nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the
battle is not yours, but God's. Tomorrow go ye down
against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and
ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the
wilderness of Jeruel. Ye shall not need to fight in this
battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation
of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not,
nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the
LORD will be with you. And Jehoshaphat bowed his head
with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the
inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD,
worshipping the LORD. [2 chronicles 20:14 -18]
58
This happened at a time when the Israelites were weak in war

and afraid to go further, God needed to speak His counsel to them
that will give them consolation. The Israelites were always
dependent upon the counsel and consolation of God spoken word
through His faithful servants, but at that time, all of them were
weak in the spirit. God had no any other option but to release an
unction of the prophetic upon someone to speak His counsel. A
man from among the people that might be considered common by
many was the one that was selected to speak forth the counsel of
God. He spoke the heart of God by the unction of the prophetic that
rested upon him. That counsel edified them to receive more
strength and power to defeat their enemies. A simple word spoken
by God has the ability to strengthen you and empower you to
succeed.
And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company
of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him,
and he prophesied among them. And it came to pass, when
all that knew him before time saw that, behold, he
prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one
to another, what is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is
Saul also among the prophets? And one of the same place
answered and said, but who is their father? Therefore it
became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets? And
when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the
high place. [1 Samuel 10:10-13]
59
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that

is in Sechu: and he asked and said, where are Samuel and
David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of
God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied,
until he came to Naioth in Ramah. And he stripped off his
clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner,
and lay down naked all that day and all that night.
Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets? [1
Samuel 19:22-24]
In the book of Samuel, Saul found himself among a prophetic
people and all of a sudden he began to prophesy. Saul was not a
prophet in the society, in fact it amazed people to see him with the
prophets and even prophesying. People wondered and said, “Is
Saul among the prophets?” His ability to prophesy amazed people.
He may not be a prophet, but he was able to prophesy by the
unction of the prophetic as a result of the atmosphere created by the
other prophets and it made it possible for God to release His
unction on him to share of the prophetic. After the unction lifted
from him, he became Saul as usual.
It is true that anytime you find yourself amidst prophet, you will
definitely partake and share in their grace because when God opens
that realm of operation for them to prophesy and engage in
heavenly transaction, you will be influenced by the atmosphere
and presence to also prophesy by that unction.
60
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth

me. Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is
ready to burst like new bottles. I will speak, that I may be
refreshed: I will open my lips and answer. [Job 32:18 -20]
Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram was
not regarded as a wise man among the friends of Job, but an
apprentice and a protégé of one of the friends of Job that came to
visit him in his time of peril. Job's friends came to console him in
his dilemma, but ended up speaking words of reproach that broke
his heart the more. In that time, Job needed to hear from God.
Suddenly, the least among them was given the word of God for his
current circumstances.
Elihu was the only one that had the counsel of God. He was
considered just a lad to them because he was not up to them in rank.
The unction of The Spirit came upon him to prophesy and speak the
counsel of God in words of consolation. The unction of the
prophetic is no respecter of person and God can choose to use
whosoever He wishes to speak His counsel. He has done it before
and He can do it again. We just need to position ourselves aright
and have a genuine love for Him at all times. I pray that when God
is looking for a man that He will use, you will be prepared and
available for His function. Amen.
Shalom!!!

Chapter Four
PROPHETIC GIFTS
T he gift of The Spirit is given to everyone for the profit of

all. When God gives you a gift, that gift is not for your own
benefit, but rather for the benefit of others. That which will
benefit you will be put upon others. The gift of God which is to
benefit you is given to another faithful witness of The Lord Jesus
Christ. In the natural, when you buy a gift, you don't use it because
it is to be given out for the use and benefit of another. Also, if you
must receive a gift, it must not come from you, it has to come from
someone else and that which you receive from another as a gift will
profit you. The same applies to the prophetic gifts of The Spirit.
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to
profit withal. [1 Corinthians 12:7]
God gives gifts to His faithful ones so that it will profit others in
the body of Christ. The prophetic gifts are for the functioning of
another. The gift is one of the most influential dimensions of the
prophetic. A man functioning in the gift of The Spirit seems to have
more influence than the one functioning in another office in the
body of Christ. This is true because the sole aim of the prophetic
gift is to profit someone else other than yourself. When God give
you a gift, you cannot remain within your enclosure. For the gift to
serve its purpose, you must go out dispensing grace in servitude for
62
The Prophetic & Vision PROPHETIC GIFTS
the sake of the kingdom of God. The gift of the prophetic seems to
have a charisma that puts people on the frontline. The prophetic
gift of The Spirit is the common and easiest to function among the
dimensions of the prophetic if only you can be consistence enough
in your pursuit of God and desiring with a pure heart in humility for
the gift, God will cause it to function in your life.
Paul the apostle said that we should desire earnestly the gifts of
The Spirit, at least to prophesy. The gift of The Spirit can be desired
and to prophesy is part of the functioning of the prophetic gift at
work in a man's life. You don't have to be a prophet or called into
the office of the prophetic to be able to function in the gift of the
prophetic. Although, most if not all the people called into the office
of the prophetic function in the gift of the prophetic overtime.
Whosoever desires and asks God for the gift of the prophetic
will be given if his motives are right enough. God is our father and
a father always desire to give gifts to his children. God is not that
stingy with His gifts. When your motive for desiring His gift is
right and He see that it will not hurt you overtime, He will give it to
you for the glory of His name and for the propagation of His
kingdom.
The first step to functioning in the gift of The Spirit is to so
desire it with a pure heart and mind and ask God in prayer to release
His gift of the prophetic upon you. A genuine and humble desire
comes from the heart and God who sees the heart rewards
according to the posture and motive of the heart. Let the posture of
63
Chapter Four PROPHETIC GIFTS
your heart be selfless toward blessing others and revealing the love
of Christ to a dying world.
Since the gift of prophecy which is part of the prophetic gift
comes from The Holy Spirit, then a constant communion and
fellowship with Him can make those gifts function in your life by
default because it is impossible to dwell and dine with The Holy
Spirit and not be transformed, renewed and be able to carry a
deposit of His nature and character which permits you the access
into His gifting and resources.
Gifts are normally given to friends and acquaintance. Also, if
you must get a gift from The Holy Spirit, it is high time you begin to
develop a close relationship with Him before it is too late. How will
you feel to break your love relationship with the world and start
another love relationship with The Holy Spirit? Many of us are so
engrossed with a lot of things which separate us from The Holy
Spirit and that love that we once professed is lacking in our lives. It
is always easier to give with no pain and regrets when you are in
love. Return back to your first love because He so desires to
fellowship and commune with you.
Spiritual and prophetic gifts are sustained by a genuine love for
God and His Spirit. If you can be in love with God and continue to
maintain that unending love for The Holy Spirit, then He will give
you more than just a gift to function with. The Holy Spirit is the
best friend and lover I have ever come to know, most times I feel
like I have neglected Him, but He is never worried or gets angry at
64
me because anytime I come back to Him like the return of a

runaway lover, He always welcomes me back in love. There is
nothing as sweet as to dwell and fellowship with The Holy Spirit
always being in love with Him.
When you maintain a constant relationship with The Spirit of
God, there is nothing He will not give you. His gift will always rub
on you and you will become a carrier of His presence that causes
changes in a society. As you continue with The Spirit, you will
begin to function in the gifts of the prophetic on daily basis.
Nevertheless, you have to be careful to walk in genuine love for
God and man so that you will not be perverted by the prince of the
power of the air.
For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
[Romans 11:29]
One thing that people overlook is that a gift is a gift and is no
measure of the character and attitude of a person. A gift hardly
changes the personality and attitude of an individual. A man with a
gift may not really be a good person, but he will be a gifted bad
individual. The gift itself is perfect because it is a resources of The
Holy Spirit, but the person that receives the gift is a mortal that is
subject to change and rebellious acts following after the lust of the
flesh, lust of the eye and the pride of life. Since the gifts and the
calling of God is without repentance and a gift given cannot be
taken away, we all have to be very careful with every heavenly gifts
and resources given to us, the prophetic gift also not excluded!
When you are given a gift, the giver of the gift can't just detect how
65
you use the gift, but it is wisdom for you to ask the giver of the gift,
how He will intend you to use it especially if it is a fragile and
sensitive gift that you were never given before.
People have abused the prophetic gifts of The Holy Spirit by not
using it to the glory of God and His kingdom, but for their selfless
gain. Such a people, God will judge them in His own way. They
initially came to God with a pure heart and good intentions, but
they allowed themselves to overtaken by their own greed and
selfishness. No wonder one of the greatest challenge of God is
whether He can trust us with His heavenly precious resources. God
has no issue giving us His gifts, but can He trust us with it not to
abuse it in our own greed.
When you continue to misuse the prophetic gifts of God, God
may not kill you, but He will withdraw His Spirit from you and
reduce your influence on the earth so that you don't corrupt others
in your greed and darkness until you end up dead in frustration.
Balaam and Balak so desired to curse Israel when God desired to
bless them. Balaam surely had a prophetic gift as the prophet of
The LORD, but God never told him to curse His people, but in his
greed and disobedience, he did otherwise by creating a situation
that brought the people under a curse. He was later punished by
God which cost him his life. I believe that he must have regretted
using his God given gift against God, the giver of the gift. No man
can go against God and prosper!
Our today's society is full of different trends of soothsayers and
gainsayer that parade themselves around as prophets, manifesting
66
gifts that look like the prophetic gifts. You can easily judge the
prophetic and its manifestation through discernment by The Holy
Spirit. Every gift of The Holy Spirit must agree with the spirit and
with Christ Jesus who gives the office of the prophetic. Also, it
must glorify Jesus Christ The Son of the living God.
Since everything created has its fruit, so also does the spirit. You
can discern the prophetic manifestation of a prophet by testing the
spirit he functions with. The spirit has to be in oneness with The
Holy Spirit in you, then you can also discern the content of his
message, like: does it glorify Christ Jesus or glorify himself? You
also have to discern his character, if the prophet has the genuine
Spirit of God, then he must bear the fruit of The Spirit in his life.
His character must reflect Christ at all time. If this is lacking in the
life of a prophetic individual, who functions in the gift, then he
must have been deceived by the devil into darkness and sooner or
later familiar spirits will influence him and the spirit of divination
will become his inspirational backbone. This is because The Holy
Spirit will be withdrawn from such a person except if he repents
and comes back to Christ Jesus in humility of heart and genuine
love for God.
Many genuine ministers who were once called by God have
become mediocre because of their greed for world influence and
expansion, they have manipulated the body of Christ by using the
resources and the prophetic gifting of God to profit themselves.
They have misplaced priority and as such God will judge them at
His time. The prophetic gift of God is for the prosperity of the
67
kingdom of God, but in the prosperity of the kingdom, you will

also prosper. You don't have to make your prosperity the greatest
pursuit because God will prosper you naturally when His kingdom
prospers. You don't have to manipulate the body of Christ Jesus.
The prophetic gift was given to some by God without a
desperate desire for it, but others desired it and prayed their way
through certain prophetic portals that granted them the access into
these gifts and its functionalities overtime. Some people got the
gift of The Spirit as an inheritance from their parents who have
walked with God and made a covenant with God to continue the
mandate with their children after they are long gone, this kind of
children got it as an impartation and by a spiritual activation of the
prophetic gifts by the laying on of hands.
No matter the office you are called to function in by God, if you
so desire the gift of the prophetic, you can function in it. I have
conversed with a few people that seeing and communicating with
angels comes easily to them. These angels sometimes take them to
heaven to see the creation and the glory of the celestial city of God.
These numerous encounters have opened them up to the spirit
world as such their perception and ability to discern in the spirit
have increased. Some people just suddenly found themselves
hearing the voice of The Holy Spirit talking to them about people's
issues and situation, they have dreams and see the secrets of others
and some have open visions and trance. All these manifestations
happen to some that never even asked for it. Many never really
desire it, but it just happens naturally in their lives. Most of those
68
people have a pure heart towards God and since they love God, He
just felt free to share His heart with them on a daily basis, this and
what they see amazes them. People with such continued prophetic
experiences are called by God to witness on His behalf. He
naturally endows them with the potentials so that they can
accurately represent Him on the earth. They are required to build
and develop it until it is perfected in their lives.
The prophetic gift is likely to be transferred to the children as an
inheritance. A man that functions in the gift of the prophetic can
transfer that same trait to his son when he is about to rest in God so
that the son can function in the same grace. Many children got their
trait of the prophetic gift from their parent and as they grew up they
discovered the prophetic at work in their lives.
And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed,
and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of
Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and
abode with him. And the same man had four daughters,
virgins, which did prophesy. [Acts 21:8-9]
It was written that Philip the evangelist had 4 daughters and all
of them were prophetic in nature. You might wonder how that is
possible, but he too was a prophetic man. This made his seed carry
the trait of the prophetic and it manifested in the life of his
daughters as they grew in God. I know a man that has five children
and all of them are prophetic in nature, prophesying to others by the
gift of the prophetic. God always desires to continue the linage of
the prophetic in a family by raising someone among the siblings to
69
carry the trait of the prophetic to continue were the parents

stopped. They will function in the same gift and go through
separate dealings and discipline of The Holy Spirit which will form
the structures and pattern for their operation in that realm.
There is another category of people that are not born with the
gift of the prophetic neither are they from the family of prophets,
but desired and determined to create an avenue for the possibility
of the functioning of the gift of the prophetic. They became the first
to initiate a covenant with God in their families and that covenant
remains as long as there is someone to continue in obedience and
many belong to this category. I was not really born with the
function and experiences of the gift of the prophetic, but as I
desired and prayed with much study and fasting, that realm was
opened for me and I saw myself functioning and manifesting it.
The prophetic is a precious realm that is not really common to
everyone, but can be common to whosoever dares to tread on the
path.
I can still recall how determined and desperate I was for the
prophetic. I took out time to study, pray and fast on a consistent
basis. I took upon myself mentors who are prophetic in nature,
functioning in the gift of the prophetic. I honoured them and
studied their relationship and dealings with The Holy Spirit.
Following suit in obedience to God to the ultimate of my ability
until that realm was opened for me to function in.
As you begin to desire the gift of the prophetic and follow after
the leading of The Holy Spirit in obedience, it will take a while for
70
that to begin manifesting in your life. Many hours of prayers and

some consecration to fast may be needed to rightly structure you to
be able to contain the impartation of the prophetic and its
experiences.
Most prophetic people live a fasted live. As a prophetic
individual, you need to have a season in your pursuit of God that
you fasted and prayed more than you have eaten. This helps to
strengthen your spiritual man and sharpen your discernment as
well as silence your fears and unbelief. Lots of people that don't
fast are often challenged in their flesh. Their flesh speaks and rules
them most times. If you can develop the ability to say no to your
appetite for daily food by fasting, then you can as well say no to
your appetite of the flesh.
As I continued in obedience to The Holy Spirit, it was not long
that I began to have heavenly encounters and taken to the court of
heaven on a regular basis. Certain prophetic manifestations
became activated in my life and I found myself in meetings with
ancient elders and scribes that took note of minutes of meetings.
The meetings I do attend look like a council were litigations are
undertaken. Sometimes, decrees are made and decisions are taken
concerning different sphere, people and places. Most of the
proceedings of these meetings I am unable to communicate
because it is hard for someone to express it in words. Nevertheless,
they form a structure for the governing and rulership of the earth
according to prophetic and apostolic pattern.
71
A time came when the realm of visions became normal to me. I

began to see pictures and scenes of events and happenings I had no
understanding of and has never occurred before. Seasons came that
I began to have painted imaginations that I know I never thought
and initiated in the mind. They looked real and alive within my
spirit, heart and mind. Initially, I was ignorant of this
manifestation, so I never considered it to be a speaking of The Holy
Spirit to me. Eventually, understanding came on how to utilize and
respond to The Holy Spirit as He communicates to me through
these various agencies.
The realm of dream was opened all of a sudden and I began to
have supernatural dreams. Someone like me that hardly dreamt or
have dreams which were never worthy of note now began to have
dreams that are supernatural and prophetic in nature. All of a
sudden, I will have many dreams in a day, I can have about ten
dreams concurrently. I was dumbfounded and tried to find the
meaning and what they meant for my personal life. It was never
easy for me, but as I began to study and found answers.
Understanding came and the dreams never became an issue to
ponder too much on.
The Holy Spirit led me to much study on how He spoke and
related to other prophetic individuals in times past, all through
scriptures, you will find so many people that God related with
prophetically, you are not the first. Most of them were confused as
you are but as they continued in obedience to The Holy Spirit and
were faithful in His dealing, they grasped an understanding of His
72
prophetic manifestations and experiences in dealing with humans.

As I studied intensively and prayed, I began to discern the
speaking and voice of God and can now connect the puzzles that I
see in my dreams that looks confusing. I began to interpret my
dreams and revelations. Most of the dreams came to pass, although
some still remain unfulfilled because their timing is not yet ripe. As
long as The LORD lives, they will surely come to pass according to
the time of life because the dreams of today are always the realities
of tomorrow. Have faith in God, but also believe in your God given
dreams.
Before you begin to function in the gift of interpretation of
dreams and revelation like I did, it will not be wrong if you can
relate your dream to an elder in the prophetic to be able to interpret
it to you. When dreams are interpreted, it is like the impartation and
life that is contained in the dream is opened to begin to function. A
dream is of no good if not interpreted correctly. It will have no life
in it to cause a tangible change.
As you continue in your desire for the gifts of The Lord, He will
pour out His resources upon you. The Holy Spirit is the only one
that can guide you and sharpen your discernment to hear God in
your inner man, the word of God is supposed to guide you and put a
limit to you in the prophetic. There are limits for you as a prophetic
individual in dealing with others. There are realms that God can
take you to that people might not be ready for that operation yet.
You are to wait for the proper timing of The Holy Spirit to begin to
dispense such grace to others, or else they will not comprehend
73
your speaking.
Surely, there are greater depths in the prophetic and virgin
planes in the spirit that few or none have trekked before. Therefore,
we should be very careful because in our quest to explore new
realms and dimensions in God, we might venture into some
forbidden territories and planes of demonic operations and
influences. Falsehood is common now in the body of Christ as
people seek the supernatural like daily bread. Many have ventured
into certain arbitrary realms that is governed and influenced by
darkness. Since many people are so myopic in our days, anything
that look like the original is welcomed as genuine from God.
Discernment is lacking that is why it is safe to limit ourselves to the
word of God.
There are people that are born with the gift of the prophetic and
that prophetic realm is open over their lives, but they are lacking in
the dealings and training that is supposed to cause the
manifestation to function through them effectively. This kind of
people can either permit the light and illumination of Christ Jesus
to illuminate their gift to function or give themselves up to familiar
spirits and the spirit of divination to help them express the gift in
them, but the spirit of divination is demonic and can pervert the gift
of the prophetic in you.
It is normal to have gifts and potentials, but for those things to
be utilized, it takes process and discipline to be able to harness it for
productive outcome. Many gifted people died with their gifts and
potentials not utilized! It is always left for the man with the gift to
74
submit it under God to be sharpened and disciplined so that it can

function for the glory of God. An engineer did not become one in
one day same for a doctor. All of them need proper schooling for
years with accurate practical, testing and examination to certify
that they are qualify to become either an engineer or a doctor. Also,
the prophetic needs thorough training and schooling to accurately
represent God on earth. God is so much interested in training His
own. When God calls you into anything, He will train you for that
which He has called you to do. A man that is not trained by God can
perform, but He will surely be limited in certain aspects because
knowledge and equipping is necessary for excellence and success.
I know you are familiar with prophetic and apostolic centres.
These centres equip people with the necessary knowledge and
impartation to understand the rudiment, modus operandi and the
demand of the prophetic and the apostolic as they transit in God.
Every true apostolic and prophetic centre creates an atmosphere
and the opportunity for people to have uncommon encounters with
The Holy Spirit to form the needed structures for the apostolic and
prophetic calling in them.
I have been to many of such centres for equipping. Many
prophetic elders that have gone ahead of us in the things and
dealing of God created such centres to disciple many others with
those gifts and calling unto maturity. They expose their mistakes
and give unveil to the costs and reasons for their successes so as to
build and imparted their disciples to do more. When you don't learn
from the mistakes of others, you will make the same the mistake.
75
Learn from the elders because they always have something to teach
you.
There is every tendency for you to be perplexed when the realm
of the prophetic is opened to you overnight and certain experiences
begin to function in your life. When a new realm opens up to you in
God, you need to be schooled on how to keep that realm opened
and in its operations. The devil has always been an arch deceiver
and he always rides on the ignorance of people to deceive them.
When you are ignorant of a realm that God has opened for you to
function in, you will be prone to deception by the devil. When you
permit yourself to be schooled in the prophetic and follow after the
steps of the elders, lots of mistakes will be avoided and errors will
be far from you. 'He that embraces knowledge and correction will
always be wise as a sage.'
I know a friend that began to function in the gift of the prophetic
not long ago. All of a sudden, he began to hear voices directing
him. He sees visions and learn many secrets about people, places
and things. That was a genuine manifestation of the gift of the
prophetic at work in his life because he was a genuine lover of God,
but as a stranger to that realm of the prophetic which was opened in
full force, he was lacking behind in accurate knowledge and
doctrine guiding the prophetic and its manifestation. He never
cared to submit himself to a higher authority that will guide him
aright, so when the devil came with his deception he had to pay for
his ignorance.
76
No matter how anointed you are, you need a spiritual covering

over you, even if it is a mentor that you honour so that his grace can
speak also for you. Yes, it is true that you can pray all by yourself
and God will grant you access into certain realms in the spirit, but
to keep and sustain yourself in that realm will be an issue for you
overtime. The spirit realm is like a wilderness and we all need a
tour guide in our journey into God. Don't explore that realm alone,
you will need to be guided by The Holy Spirit and be informed by
an elder that has been there before.
As my friend began to neglect The Holy Spirit, he was deceived
into witchcraft and divination by the devil. Familiar spirits became
his companion as they became familiar with him, giving him daily
assignment which were very odd. He was led into an astral realm of
operation. He began to have strange encounters and visitations and
more realms that were forbidden were opened to him by the devil
to confuse and manipulate him the more. He began to function and
act wild and weird in many ways. We almost lost him, but grace
found him back after a while.
The devil actually preyed and played on his ignorance. Since he
had no grace higher speaking for him, he was deceived and led into
darkness. I have seen people that act like animals and refer to it as a
prophetic manifestation. Some so called prophets feed people with
grasses and substances which are uncalled for and call it prophetic
and I wonder how people came to all these carnalities. The fact that
something looks true and produces some result does not mean that
it is the truth and genuine.
77
There is so much manipulation going on in the name of the

prophetic in our time, although it was prophesied about the rising
of false prophets overtime, I just never thought it will be this
terrible. People have lost The Spirit of discernment completely.
Even genuine people called to function in the prophetic can be
deceived and manipulated by the devil into all kinds of things if
they are not properly trained by God and guided by The Holy
Spirit.
Anyone called to function in the prophetic needs to be schooled
and trained overtime by The Holy Spirit and be impacted by the
fathers that have gone before us, so that our generation will have a
new breed of prophetic people that the devil cannot manipulate.
Always try your best to be a part of a prophetic and apostolic
centres that school people in the prophetic and apostolic so that you
can be fit for the work ahead.
There are many of such centres scattered abroad and at home,
you just have to find one by the help of The Holy Spirit and be a part
of. You can also disciple yourself with books and tapes at all time.
Books and tapes have always been my mentors for years. Most of
my prophetic and apostolic structuring came from the impartation
I got from books and tapes. Accurate schooling is a prerequisite for
your proper functioning in the prophetic and its gifting.
Many people make the mistake of asking for an impartation
from an elder in the prophetic without being willing to be schooled
by such an elder. That realm that the elder is functioning in was not
attained in a day by him and if he is not going to guide you into a
78
journey to that paradigm, then his impartation will be of no effect

to you. In fact, it may even get you confused overtime, except if
The Holy Spirit helps you to contain that realm of operation.
When a prophetic individual releases an impartation upon you,
he can take you to his realm, but it will still be left for you and your
spiritual capacity to sustain yourself in that realm else you fall back
to your normal plane. Many people have received several
impartations, but what they have not learnt is, how to grow in those
impartations. Your growth most times is depended on you and your
preparation in the spirit. You can only grow if you are always
connected to God and study through that field as The Holy Spirit
leads and guides you. It will do you so much good to connect
yourself to fathers and mentors that have gone far in walking with
God to teach and mentor you aright. No matter how a prophetic
individual tries to release an impartation on you to enter into his
realm, he cannot sustain you in that realm only The Holy Spirit can.
The Holy Spirit cannot bring you to a realm you are not prepared
for, you will need to prepare yourself sufficiently to possess the
gates of that realm. There are many prophetic elders in the body of
Christ, and you can be mentored by as many as you like as long as
they are genuine in God. Sometimes, it is good to be mentored by
many! “If we see in part and prophesy in part,” then it means that
God does not really give the whole puzzle to one person, but has
shared it among His faithful witnesses. When you combine the
speaking of many, you will find an accurate understanding of what
it entails. The prophetic dimension and its gifting cannot be
79
manifested and expressed completely in one person because God

divides it among His beloved as He wishes.
Some are good in visions and dreams, while others are good in
the word of knowledge and wisdom. If you can get yourself
mentored by many others, you will grasp a better understanding of
the prophetic and its functioning. Most prophetic elders have
schools and conferences they organize and a simply honouring
them by being present at their meetings with an open heart can do
more for your spirit in repositioning and restructuring it. Since
distance can be a barrier in the flesh, you can get their materials and
resources to read and study then apply the same principles to your
life believing God to cause a change in your life. When people are
born with prophetic gifts and they don't want to follow through the
normal schooling and discipline for that gift to function under God,
they will get themselves acquainted with demonic agents and
familiar spirits that help them bring out the potential to function
just like the lady in the book of Acts that was functioning and
prophesying by the spirit of divination to bring more gain to her
master. This will only give glory to darkness not light.
We must be more vigilant and keep pace with The Holy Spirit as
He alone is the one that can shield us from the spell of the evil ones.
Imagine what will have happened if the sorcerer Simeon or the
lady that followed the Apostle Paul with the spirit of divination in
the book of Acts were not rebuked. We need the spirit of
discernment as a gift to be able to watch over the entrance of such
80
people by testing them to see how genuine they are before we relate
and give them the right hand of fellowship.
There are many so called “prophets” that function from an
anointing that is mixed, a mixture of the genuine and the profane.
Such don't give glory to God and don't give glory to the devil either,
but to the man. The devil always gets a share in such cases. The gift
of the prophetic seems to be very easily manipulated by the devil.
False prophets can never be permitted to sit upon the prophetic
throne of God, the throne will reject them the very day their heart
get corrupt.
Prophetic gifts are seen as the ability to discern the secrets of the
heart and that of another either through a vision, dream and a
revelation. Most people that function in the prophetic gifts can call
out phone numbers, account numbers, tell the secrets of the heart
and many more. This manifestation is true of the gift of the
prophetic.
I have seen many genuine men and women of God that minister
in different dimensions of the prophetic gift that empower many.
This kind brings glory to God. We must have a genuine heart
towards blessing others especially with the gifts God has given us.
God is willing to give everyone the gifts of the prophetic. The
manifestation of the gift of the prophetic is not exclusive,
preserved for the prophets alone, but for all that so desires it.
We have seen pastors, evangelist, apostles, teacher and many
more function in the gifts of the prophetic despite functioning in
their respective primary office. You don't need to be born a prophet,
81
but being a genuine lover of Christ Jesus can give you access to the
gift of the prophetic. You may be functioning in the gift of healing,
but if you desire the prophetic gift so that you can be able to
prophesy, ask God. It is just a simple desire to hear God speak to
you and share His heart desire concerning others. When the realm
of the prophetic is opened for you, you begin to perceive the secrets
of the heart. As you study and pray with a desire for the gift of the
prophetic, God will cause that to function in your life overtime.
I believe and will continue to believe that God can release the
gift of the prophetic upon anyone of whom He wills, even if you are
not called into the prophetic office. As long as you desire to see the
kingdom of God fulfilled on the earth, He will release His
resources to help you in propagating His kingdom.
The prophetic is part and parcel of the tool that God uses to
reconcile His people to Himself and He permits many to partner
with Him in achieving His purpose on earth. The prophetic is also a
tool for strategic warfare in this age and time. It is important that
we always take advantage of it to decree and to declare. Speaking
forth with the prophetic authority of God can cause shifting in the
sphere of the heavens. Those that wield the prophetic in our
generation, wield kingdom power for rulership and governmental
authority.
May God who sees your heart grant unto you the strength to
keep serving Him in spirit and truth, and may the dreams and
revelations that He gives you come to pass in your lifetime. May
82
the encounters and visitations of God open you up to a new

experience of the gifts of the prophetic, Amen.
Shalom!!!

PROPHETIC LANGUAGE
H ave you ever been to an artist's studio before? You will

realize that pictures and paintings have a language they
communicate, mostly the language of emotions and
feelings. Language is a means of communication that has no
known accurate approved origin. I believe that people, creation
and things are born with a language and a means of communication
by default.
You may not hear an animal talk to you, but animals do
communicate with each other in a language that they understand. If
you must communicate to something that is not in your own realm
of creation, then you will have to use the language of that realm.
Language is given to creation according to the realm or form they
are created to operate in by God. The realm or form of humans,
animals, celestial, microscopic and many others. Every creation of
God has a language of communication.
Language is a means and a tool for communication for proper
relation between beings in the different realms and spheres. We can
use it to express an intention, motive and/or desire. Some are
visible while others are not such as feelings. Trying to find the
origin of language is like trying to rediscover how God created the
very beginning. There is surely a beginning to everything ever
84
The Prophetic & Vision PROPHETIC LANGUAGE
created by God, but since our knowledge is limited, we cannot

categorically give an accurate explanation of the origin of
language or which is the first language on the earth. Nevertheless,
every creation of God has a language of communication.
I believe that there was a time when people spoke only one
language on earth. As far as we can remember, when God created
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, they had only one language,
until the tower of Babel. I do wonder what language God spoke in
Genesis chapter 1 that led to the creation!
The first time there was a speaking in the book of truth was the
speaking of God in Genesis chapter 1 which led to the creation of
the Earth. The language used was the language of God and we have
little understanding of it, but it has to be supernatural. I believe
there are many languages ranging from that of men and humans to
angels and spirits to the celestial beings and bodies and that of
other creations. It is written that even creation groans and sings
praises to God. When Jesus Christ walked the earth, he spoke to
creation ranging from the element of nature to the plants and
weather patterns. We also saw through scriptures how many
prophetic people spoke to celestial bodies and elements of nature
to work on their behalf, these creations adhered to them and
obeyed. The creation must have heard their voices as they spoke.
I believe that there are many languages and one was the creation
language while others were given by God to people at the tower of
Babel. Overtime, language has evolved and man in his intelligence
has created more languages. There is yet another language that is
85
Chapter Five PROPHETIC LANGUAGE
supreme to all which is the language of light. This 'light' as a

language is a personality that causes creation. This language is the
summation of all languages. All creation no matter the sphere
understands this language when it is being spoken to. I believe it is
the same language that prophetic people of old used to speak to the
elements of nature and to celestial bodies.
God is light and light as a language speaks of illumination and
revelation. Light has been the tool of creation from the very
beginning. God used Himself to create! Almost every creation of
God has a component of God in it. The angels and celestial beings
are created from light as well as the starry bodies. Man has an
element of light in him. Everything that has ever been created in the
heavens and the earth has God in it in the person of Christ Jesus,
The Light.
Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he
hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made
the worlds. [Hebrews 1:2]
There is a realm that you can operate from which gives you the
power to speak to any creation of God through light and revelation.
Your natural language may not be truncated, but that spiritual
supernatural language that God puts in all His creation is activated
when we ascend into that realm. No wonder in spiritual encounters,
you don't speak with your mouth, but communication is done by
spirit via the language of light!
When you reveal light, you immediately have knowledge of
truths and realities in God because God is light and everything
86
moves in life for His glory. When you are caught up into the realm
of the spirit, you just realize that another dimension of you
switches on. It lights up like Jesus Christ on the mount of
transfiguration. We have another of our nature that is light that lies
within us, it takes the revelation of God to reveal and express that in
us.
We carry revelation and truth when we radiate light which is
why we are called the children of the living God. What makes God
living is because He gives life to whatsoever He comes in contact
with! The nature that Jesus revealed on the mount of
transfiguration is the true spiritual nature of a son that represents
and reveals God. No wonder a voice spoke from heaven
confirming His Sonship and Lordship over all. We also have come
into that nature and sonship through grace in Christ Jesus. The
scripture says that God made His angels winds, but His ministers a
flame of fire. John the Baptist was referred to as a burning and a
shining light in his days. We all carry a similar nature of light as
Jesus Christ radiated on the mountain top. We do business in the
spirit realm from that reality of light within us.
When you are caught up in the spirit realm seeing a tree or any
creation that exists within that sphere, if you so desire to know
more about it, approach it and the nature of light in you takes in
itself the ability to relate and understand that creation. The
language of communication in the spirit realm is majorly light and
revelation. This is embedded in every creation of God. We can
87
relate with them when we engage them from that reality and nature
of light.
Since the language of God is light and revelation, and
everything He created came from light as He spoke from the
beginning, 'let there be light,' then everything living and non-living
sustained some degree of light in itself. It is true that in the spirit
realm, all things are living and nothing is non-living because God
who is the living God gives life to whatsoever is within His reach.
Hebrews 1 gave us and understanding that God upholds all
things by the word of His mouth not by the frame and structure on
the earth. God put creation in place as He created them and the
elements of nature are given their proper position to function. This
creation hears the voice of God spoken via the language of light,
that is why after many eons, they still obey God and keep His
ordinances daily. You will never hear that the sun refuses to shine
or the moon or the stars got tired of doing that which they were
created for.
Do you realize that the trees in the Garden of Eden were not just
ordinary trees, but trees that are living and carrying life in them!
This is why they had trees like, the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil and the tree of life. The trees in the garden has a life form
and a knowledge of God within them. Everything in the spiritual
realm has a life form and a knowledge embedded in it.
Have you ever had an encounter before of seeing animals and
plants as part of the creation of the spirit realm? These plants and
88
animals are living and sustain some degree of knowledge in them.

You will be amazed to see some of them speaking to you and
revealing certain counsels to you. All the creation of God works for
His glory, whether living or non-living because all have a spiritual
nature that can be revealed by light and revelation. People do have
encounters in the spirit realm seeing eagles, lion, ox, goat, birds,
snakes and many more animals. Some see trees and different
vegetation. These things are seen living in nature with life and
realities in them that can impart knowledge. No wonder the trees
and river in the Garden of Eden had spiritual nature, truths and
realities beyond the normal.
When Adam was to name the creation of God, through light and
revelation, he was able to name each creation by having the
understanding and knowledge of what each creation entailed in the
heart and mind of God. The language of light and revelation is
supreme and ultimate to all language, but for proper
communication and relationship between different spheres and
realms, God gave His creation diverse languages according to their
realm of operation. He gave animals a language, plants another
language, man another language and as many other creations so
that they can communicate with each other appropriately. Human
beings are the most complicated creation of God and we are
created to explore other creations. We sustain a higher ability in
God and He gave us the potential to procreate under Him.
Humans were created with a single language, but with the
89
potency to procreate other languages as God permitted. Man was

able to permutate and combine many languages to create another
resulting to different cultures and traditions. When we trace back to
the point of the division of the languages of the human race on the
earth from Babel, it seems as if God was so interested in the
division when men began to desire to be gods sustaining the
wisdom of God, but He preferred man to be unified.
Nimrod was an evil ruler and a hunter of the souls of men in his
time. His mother was a witch who killed his father and married her
son who became king in the place of his father. This propagation of
darkness granted him an alliance with the devil who gave him the
wisdom and deception to begin the building of the tower of Babel
in rebellion to God. The tower was meant to reach the heaven and
challenge God's authority over man. How can a mortal man
imagine to begin a building that will reach the heaven? What
architectural design and civil engineering structure could achieve
such a dream? That kind of a dream and thought must have been
inspired by the devil, knowing fully well the enormous capacity
and potentials that God has put in man and that it will be possible if
all mankind can join together combining all their potentials.
Nimrod was a world leader, the whole earth was under him and if
he can be deceived by the devil, then all of mankind was under his
mercy. The devil was able to deceive and influence him. Since he is
feared by all, all men obeyed him, yielding to his devilish dream of
building the tower that will reach the heavens.
90
At that time, the whole earth spoke one language and Nimrod
mobilized all the men of the earth to focus all their resources to
build the tower. By the bond of unity and the power of oneness,
they were making good progress. If God had not intervened, they
would have succeeded. A people united with one language, goal,
aim and vision can achieve anything regardless of the
circumstances.
God in His wisdom devised an effective and excellent solution
to their madness. Since they all had one language, goal and aim,
division was the only solution. Even Jesus said, “No house divided
against itself shall stand.” Nothing can be achieved by a group of
people if they are not united in mind. God decided to scatter their
languages which was one of their major source of unity and
oneness. After their language has been divided, their desire, aim
and vision also became divided. This resulted to a heavy confusion
in the camp because they could not communicate effectively with
each other. When a man was asked in the camp to bring water, he
hears another thing in the other language that God gave him and
when another is asked to do a thing, he hears another different thing
entirely. None of them were able to comprehend each other in the
camp as each had a different language that can't be understood by
the other. It became even worse in the camp because all had
different desires for the moment which divided their focus and
mind. Therefore, not all had the desire to build the tower. All that
were summoned by the king to come work returned back to their
nations and lands to go fulfil the desire they had in their heart.
91
The kingdoms and empires of Nimrod became divided and

destroyed. Another civilization begun with different tribes,
languages and nations. The migration of people resulted in the
formation of countries and new nations of people sharing similar
values, culture, tradition and languages. No nation was born in a
day, it took time.
Our today's world is composed of people with different
languages, although each nation may have an official language that
is widely recognized, but there are so many minority languages
with their own cultures and traditions in the country. These
languages may not be known globally, but they are worthy of note
and spoken by a people. The influence of languages on us is as a
result and product of our place of origin and parents.
The language we speak is gotten from the environment we grew
up in. If you were born in a city that speaks a particular language
and practices a specific culture and tradition, then by default that
becomes a part of you as you grow up into maturity. If you speak
Spanish today, it is either you were born from the lineage of the
Spanish people or you grew up among Spanish people or you
decided to study and learn the Spanish language.
In the same sense, there is a culture and tradition for the
prophetic. This is the modus operandi which God uses in dealing
with prophetic individuals. The language of the prophetic is one
part of the culture and tradition of the prophetic. It is a means of
communication that has been in operation between God and His
92
prophets for centuries. It is true that the language of

communication of God is light and revelation, but there is a way
that light and revelation comes to prophetic people that is what is
called prophetic language.
God uses the prophetic language to communicate His speaking
and counsel in wisdom to His prophets. This language may not be
familiar to someone who is not of the same culture and tradition of
the prophetic. Language can be acquired, but the culture and
tradition always influences the individual the most. A person that
belongs to the same culture of the prophetic will always have an
understanding of the prophetic speaking of God. You can learn the
language of the prophetic overtime if you remain and grow within
the cultural system and tradition of the prophetic.
When you don't learn the language of the prophetic, you will
find it hard to comprehend the speaking of God in your life. The
speaking of God is in mysteries and light, it takes a heart that is
open and equipped enough to perceive such speaking on a
consistent basis. God has been speaking to many people over time,
but as a person that is a stranger to a language, they cannot
understand and comprehend His speaking in their lives.
If you have not learnt Arabic or Hebrew language before, the
day the language is spoken to your hearing, you will definitely not
understand what is said. You are not able to understand the
language because you were not taught it and it is not part of your
culture, tradition and civilization overtime. The same applies to the
93
prophetic speaking of God. Even if you were able to hear and

perceive the prophetic speaking, you will not have an
understanding or a good comprehension of what God is saying.
What you don't understand will have little or no effect on your life.
There are different means by which God uses to communicate and
talk to us and all of them require some degree of light and
revelation for us to comprehend Him.
The Holy Spirit must be your close and permanent companion if
you must have an absolute understanding of the speaking of God.
The Spirit of God will relate the speaking of God to you in the
language you can understand even if it means Him breaking it
down to English language for you to understand. I consider The
Holy Spirit in this context as the language converter and
interpreter and He will guide you and direct you at all time. Learn
to lean on Him as God speaks to you, so that He will always break it
down to a language you are familiar with. The children of Israel
heard God from Moses, but Moses heard directly from God. You
can also hear the speaking of God from His Holy Spirit of truth.
Pictures and Shapes

Every picture has an intention and every shape has something it
is communicating and revealing. A painter that paints a picture has
an intention in his mind that he wants to communicate, as well as an
emotion and feeling he is revealing. As a prophetic individual, your
encounters will be filled with picture, symbols, signs, numbers and
94
shapes. Each of these have prophetic significance in the spiritual

realm and God uses them to communicate to prophetic people
often.
When you keep seeing a picture in an encounter repeatedly, then
God must be trying to communicate something to you that requires
your careful attention. I do have encounters where I see lots of
pictures, shapes and numbers in different patterns in the spirit
realm. This confused me for a while until I realized that each has its
meaning in relating with God. The meaning to each may not be
constant and it may not be literally related to what you saw.
God speaking are mainly in signs and pictures. He always loves
to give you a sign that reveals and points us to something else. It is
now left for us to follow that sign until it reveals to us the realities
that lies in the realm it is pointing to. We must have to study the
consistent speaking and pattern of God, and master those signs and
pictures so that we don't miss the season and timing of God in our
lives.
The prompting of The Holy Spirit in seasons and times can be in
a language of sign and number. God can give you an encounter
showing you a date in number combination and a picture of a
symbol of a location to go. A sign will always point you to
something, so also a symbol represents something other than itself.
It is like the shadow of a reality. Every sickness and disease has a
sign and a symptom that points to the illness itself. When you
understand the sign and symptom, you can discern the sickness
and/or disease.
95
These are some of the signs in the spirit: loss of peace, constrain
in the spirit, an intuitive knowing and a perception to do a thing,
etc. All these are a sign by The Holy Spirit to guide you aright in
your journey into God. Signs, symbols and pictures are a common
experience to people that pray always in the spirit. As you pray,
your mental faculty is influenced by God and you begin to see
pictures and symbols.
Lots of people know when there is a release of an anointing on
them such as, shaking of the hands, the shaking of a specific finger,
a feeling of a hot sensation on the palm, head and back, a feeling of
the release of oil on their palm, heaviness of the heart, pain on
specific part of the body and burning sensation in the eyes, and lots
more. These dealings and prophetic languages are personal to
many people and their meaning varies and differs from each
individual.
These unspoken signs of The Holy Spirit are a prompting for a
function or an alert to perform a function. When these promptings
and signs are neglected, it leaves a sense of guilt on you.
Personally, when praying and I feel a burden in my heart, I know
that I have to pray for someone that is in trouble. If the prayer is in a
group, then the person is either present or absent. But as I discern
the prompting and focus on praying for the unknown individual, a
vision or a revelation can be given by God of the person so that I
can now pray with much more understanding.
The feeling of pain is common with many people. If you are
ministering in a network of people and you feel a spontaneous pain
96
on a part of the body of which you know was not there before that
moment, someone in that place may be afflicted in that part
needing healing. Spontaneous pain in any part of the body during a
ministration needs to be accurately discerned so as to properly
disseminate the gift of healing. There are times when I feel a
headache as if my head will blow up, I know that there is some kind
of demonic activity and spiritual warfare that is going on in the
spirit realm. As a spiritual man that governs that sphere, my spirit is
conscious and aware of the transaction in the spirit. Demonic
spirits are trying to build a resistance against my access to God on a
matter. A burning sensation on my back especially the top of my
back is mostly an indication of the presence of an angel of The Lord
that stands by me. The degree of light and strength I feel helps me
discern the category of the being and its operation, whether to
strengthen me or to give me revelatory insight and revelation.
There are many other signs such as: the electrifying of the hands,
uncontrollable cry, joy, sadness, a loss of peace in the heart and
many more. When you feel something and it happens repeatedly
without you comprehending it, you must seek to know it by asking
The Holy Spirit for the meaning so that you don't miss out in what
God wants to do due to ignorance.
Symbols and Numbers

There are symbols and numbers that are prophetic and a part of
the prophetic language of God in relating with us which are
97
common. Just as a sign and a symbol will always point you to

something else whenever you see it, these symbols and numbers
also pointers and refer you to something different entirely. I do
have dreams where I see symbols and numbers of which I wonder
their meaning. There is nothing that God will show you for fun! It
must be pointing you to something, or revealing a truth about
something that God wants you to do.
Sometimes, God hides His messages and instructions in
symbols and numbers, so that we can decipher them as a prophetic
people. The revelation of the numbers and symbols may be
personal to you. I have been deciphering many of the symbols and
numbers given to me by God in dreams and visions lately. Mostly
God gives you the dates of events, and timings of happening or a
symbol of something He will want you to get involved in or a
symbol that symbolizes and personifies something else in a city.
You may have a dream seeing 12082016, this may look like a
number in random but by revelation, The Holy Spirit will let you
know that it is a date to watch or observe or do something else.
12082016 is the same as 12/08/2016 that is how simple it is. You
may also see yourself walking toward a symbol of an eagle, lion,
horse, sword or anything, this may look confusing, although it may
be a symbol of a company or a logo of an organization that God
wants to connect you with. Instead of saying go to so organization,
He can just decide to show you their logo and give you a date and a
time. Like you can see a lion logo, and 23122015 and 0130. The
numbers may be 23/12/2015 and 01:30 pm/am.
98
This speaking of God is not complicated at all except you refuse

to be guided by the revelation of The Holy Spirit which is why you
have to maintain a close relationship with The Spirit of God. Many
people have encounters and see numbers, symbols and even
colours and they lack the understanding of these encounters. This
month, a friend of mine came to me with a design of a logo that he
did which he said he saw in a dream. God began speaking to him
about a business He wants him to establish and an assignment that
will carry such a logo. It was so awesome! The same Spirit of Truth
that gave you that encounter has the revelation in Him. If you can
only ask in prayer, He will reveal it to you.
Pictures and colours are also uses by God to speak to His
people, you just have to open your heart and be vast in your spirit
for God to speak to you in that manner. That speaking can only
profit you if you have understanding of the prophetic language of
the spirit. I have seen colours and pictures in my encounters and
lack understanding to them until The Spirit of God revealed to me
their meaning. Every colour has a meaning in the spirit as revealed
by The Holy Spirit to you. Pictures like eagle, lion, and ox can
signify foresight and vision or boldness and strength. Lamb and
crown can mean meekness and humility, royalty and kingship.
This complex prophetic manifestations and experiences are
common to prophetic people. The aim is not to have the
experiences, but also to have an understanding of it. The revelation
is what brings the impartation and causes the functioning and
99
manifestation in your life. You may be praying for a meeting and

suddenly you have a pictorial glimpse of the meeting which is to
tell you that the meeting will occur and God has it at heart.
I know a friend that studied architecture while in school. He
does have strange downloads of design patterns that don't make
sense to him because it goes against their normal curriculum for the
session, but those downloads are not from the soulish realm. They
may not make sense, but are prophetic design patterns for a
structure that God may want to construct on the earth. Your duty in
all this is to obey God and embrace His release, then ask The Holy
Spirit for the revelation overtime. Moses had prophetic downloads
of the structural design pattern for the temple of God and it came to
him in pictures, numbers and symbols. The design he had was also
given to another person anointed by God with a prophetic unction
to fulfil the purpose of God. I have a friend that see codes and
formulas that has never been seen and revealed to anyone before.
He gets confused about the meaning of what he always sees. When
I took a look at those formulas and codes, I realized that they were
all patterns and structures for a design that will form the foundation
of a new technology yet to be invented.
It doesn't matter what God reveals to you, even if that language
of the prophetic is new to you, pray that The Holy Spirit gives you
revelation, insight and understanding to them. God never does
anything for fun, He does it for a function. You may be perplexed
about it now, never lose faith and focus because when it is the time
100
for the revealing of it to the earth, understanding will be given to

you and you will be amazed at what you document under God.
Past prophetic individuals had series of encounters where they
saw events and pictures of element and things. The common
periodic table was first discovered in 1869 by Dmitry I.
Mendeleyev. He saw elements and said that those in the same
column (group) of the table as usually arranged have similar
properties. In the 20th century, when the structure of atoms was
understood, the table was seen to precisely reflect in increasing
order of atomic number. Members of the same group in the table
have the same number of electrons in the outermost shells of their
atoms and form bonds of the same type, usually with the same
valence. The noble gases with full outer shells, generally do not
form bonds. The periodic table has thus greatly deepened the
understanding of bonding and chemical behaviour. It also allowed
the prediction of new elements many of which were later
discovered or synthesized.
This man that discovered the periodic table once said that he
often to dream at night seeing elements arranging themselves in
order, with numbers and properties specific to each. Do you realize
that he was not just having a dream, but a dream that changed the
whole scope of science? There are people that are called to be
frontiers and pioneers of some new discoveries on earth. These
people may not be found within our conventional church and
ministry, but they are surely prophetic in God.
101
A prophet was asked by God what he saw in the scripture, and

he said that he was seeing men like trees until he was positioned to
see aright. What he saw at first was the initial, but there is a deeper
light and revelation to what God wanted him to see apart from men
as being trees. So also what you see that has no meaning to you
now; has a better meaning in God, why not look again from the eye
vista of The Holy Spirit you will see clearly.
And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE,
TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the
thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and
finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and
art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and
given to the Medes and Persians. [Daniel 5:25-28]
In the kingdom of Babylon what everyone saw as MENE,
MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN was beyond just a word written in a
foreign tongue, it was actually a judgment and a decree by God.
Only a prophetic individual that has an understanding of the
language of the prophetic was able to decipher it for all to
comprehend the speaking and the decree of God. Joseph also had
dreams of seeing the sun, moon and the stars bowing down to him
and he gave the interpretation to his family. They didn't believe him
until it came to past.
Whatever you keep seeing in whatever prophetic language that
God chooses to speak to you must have a better reality than what
you just imagined it to be. Why not pray that The Holy Spirit
reveals to you what it entails and if it be of evil because of your love
102
for God it will not hurt you. If it be for good because of that same
love for God, it will come to pass in your life. Your love for God
will always repel evil around you, but attract the good of God.
Many people believe in a lie from the devil about their dreams
and revelation. Don't let the devil deceive you that what you see is
evil as long as you love God and desire the prosperity of His
kingdom, He will not permit evil to befall you. May God help you
to comprehend His prophetic language and speaking as He
communicates with you in your prophetic journey into Him.
Amen.
Shalom!!!

Chapter Six
VISION
V
ision is the ability to foresee and visualize a truth and a
reality that existed in the past, present and a future. This
is always done through the agency of The Holy Spirit.
Vision is a divine vehicle God uses to communicate to His people.
Vision has always been a normal realm of operation for prophetic
people. Without vision, the people perish! There is never an
organization or a united people and a body without a vision of what
they want to achieve overtime.
You don't have to be a prophet to see visions because this is not
exclusive to prophets. Vision is a spiritual reality that anyone can
have. There are many people that have visions all the time and
never realize that it is a vision, they take it to be their imagination. It
always amazes them when what they see come to pass. In this life,
people that achieve great success are people driven by a vision that
motivates them to continue in their pursuit.
A spiritual prophetic individual always has visions from God.
The summation of the vision of God in your life can reveal to you a
portion of your assignment and the future. Vision is one of the
prophetic manifestation of The Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.
People that pray always have visions as a scenery and a momentary
imagination in the mind, heart and spirit, but this is far beyond
104
The Prophetic & Vision VISION
imagination. It is the revelation of the intents of the heart of God to

His beloved.
Have you ever prayed before and in the process it is like another
layer of your eyes opened like a window revealing a reality and a
truth to you? This occurs like a live broadcast of an event in a
scenery form, but suddenly and fast. Most people miss the
understanding because they were not active and focused enough to
perceive such a movement of God. Vision of the past, present and
future can be given by God. It always takes a heart that is opened
and a spirit that is active to perceive what is shown in the vision.
When praying for an individual, be focused and open hearted
because God may want you to counsel such an individual.
Sometimes, He may not give you an inner witness of things to say,
but rather an inspired vision of the person's past, present or future
depending on what God wants you to see. That which you see and
perceive will always edify the individual if it comes from God.
Visions are given to us by God to help us address issues in life and
have a glimpse of what and how to pray. With such an insight, we
can align and adjust ourselves to the will of God.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision,
and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth
it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end
it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;
because it will surely come, it will not tarry. [Habakkuk
2:23]
When you have a glimpse of what the future holds, you can then
105
Chapter Six VISION
align yourself for it fulfilment on earth. One common mistake that

most people do is not writing their visions. 'There is no vision too
small not to be written!' If it comes from God, then it can never be
too small and if it is worth seeing, it is worth writing. Until you start
writing your vision, you might not be propelled to attempt to fulfil
it on earth. Visions that are written always challenges and edifies. I
personally have a notepad and a book dedicated to writing dreams,
vision and inspired revelatory words I get from God momentarily. I
have bulky and enormous documentation of the speaking of God to
me over the years. This documentation of the speaking of God
gives me confidence and the assurance of what tomorrow holds for
me. The only confidence and assurance you will have of the future
lies in your dreams and visions of today given by God. 'The dream
and vision of today are the reality of tomorrow.’
A man with no vision lacks the confidence and assurance of the
future. In achieving and working towards your purpose, your
vision will be like a road map that guides you aright. Your vision
will help you to be focused and things that are not captured within
the pathway of your vision will not be attended to, it will be
considered a distraction. Your vision is very vital in the discovery
of your purpose and placement in life.
When in your vision you keep seeing yourself in a political
office legislating on behalf of a people, and this kind of vision
continues for years in diverse manner, then, you may be called to
legislate on behalf of a people in the political arena and grace will
106
be given to you according to the measure you need. There are lots
of people that have several and diverse visions of them ministering
to the sick and healing all kinds of terrible infirmities. Some of
them see themselves as doctors, teachers or bankers. Such a people
if they can be faithful to God overtime, that vision will be fulfilled
in their lives. God doesn't do anything with men for fun, all that He
does has a purpose and a function on the earth.
There are people that keep having recurrent vision of
themselves in different parastatals and sectors in life, all this can be
a glimpse of what their future entails and the spirit is trying to
capture it into time. We must realize that all we will ever be has
already been written in heaven. We have books and scrolls
containing the volumes of our lives on earth. Sometimes, our spirit
have glimpses into these scrolls, books and volumes that lies in the
heaven and we see it through a vision, dream and/or a revelation.
Most visions are quick and simple. They come either in picture,
symbols or in a momentary scenery. These scenes can carry some
depth of revelation, insights and truths in your heart and spirit.
Some visions can be complicated and confusing when given to
you, but surely nothing is ever complicated with God except if not
revealed to you. Most visions look big and complicated to us
because it is a future we have not yet reached in time. An average
individual seems to be afraid of his future because he has not yet
submitted to God in all.
In most visions, the person having the vision does not
107
Chapter Six VISION
participate in it, he just observes and sees the event and scene, then
given the revelation as it transits. Nevertheless, there are times
when you find yourself doing an action in a vision, like laying on of
hands on a sick individual or even seeing yourself flying a plane.
Have you been to a place and suddenly realize you have been there
before but not in the physical? Or you met someone and realized
that you have met the person before somehow because he looks
familiar to you?
All these are prophetic experiences that are reserved in God
which plays out in our lives by the guidance of The Holy Spirit.
There are times when you have a vision of a person before you get
to meet him, even though you were not that sensitive to realize the
vision, but your spirit had a glimpse of it and reserves it within you.
Vision is a spiritual reality and its timing of manifestation in the
physical always differs from our normal chronological time. You
can see a vision today and it manifests after many years, but
sometimes, they occur immediately depending on God's timing.
Visions can be in diverse manners. There are many categories of
visions according to the perspective and revelation given to an
individual as inspired by The Holy Spirit to write. All are true as
long as they don't contradict the scripture. It also needs to give us a
better and simpler explanation of the prophetic experience as given
by God. There are many books on vision of which I have read quite
a number of them. These books will give you knowledge which
forms a structure and a framework within you to be able to
108
comprehend the dealing of God as you progress in the prophetic.

There is such a thing as 'the vision of the night' and 'the vision of
the day.' These are all visions given by God, but have little
differences worthy of note.
Vision of the Night

As the name implies, 'vision of the night' is not really a vision
that occurs in the night time, but a vision that occur as a result of an
issue or a situation taken to bed at night or day to get immediate
response and reply from God. Vision of the night can sometimes be
mistaken for a dream because they both mostly occur when asleep.
Dreams are not initiated by the individual, but vision of the night
comes from a request made by a prophetic individual to God. You
don't have influence over your dreams given to you by God, it just
occurs as God so wishes. But in the vision of the night, you have an
intention, situation, challenge and an issue you are presenting to
God in optimism and high hope that when you lay to rest by night
or day you will get a response and an answer from Him with
regards to that situation, challenge, intention and issue you
presented.
In dreams, God just relates an issue from His heart to you
demanding you fulfil it, but in the vision of the night, you take a
request to God demanding an answer from Him. This may sound
strange to some religious individuals, but it is true that you can
bring a petition before God as you lay to rest day or night so that He
109
Chapter Six VISION
can attend to it. I have done this most times and realize that it works
effectively even without knowing until I began to see through
scriptures that men and women that walked with God make request
to God as they lay to rest and God attended to it.
If you have prayed and have not heard any voice nor receive any
answer from God, then as you go to rest ask God specifically to talk
to you concerning that which troubles your heart. You will be
surprise that you will have a vision of the night from God revealing
to you the answer and solution to your dilemma. This vision of the
night, most people see it as a dream, but it is not. That kind of a
dream is what is called the vision of the night. Most people have
such experiences without realizing it. They go to bed to rest with a
burden in their heart. As they keep pondering on the issue, they
sleep off, then God puts the understanding of that which troubles
them in their heart, they receive it as a vision of the night. This
happens to people and they may not realize that God heard them in
their pondering and meditation. Most people choose to call it a
dream of the night, they never see it as a vision of the night.
There are times when God addresses a present situation that
needs urgent attention in your night time. Maybe you have been
praying for a place to settle and as you ponder on which city God
will have you settle in, you became confused and demand an
understanding. As you lay to rest, you have it as a burden at heart
and suddenly God releases the understanding to you of which city
He wants you to dwell in. He may show you the city name, a major
110
area in the city or a statue in the city that He has chosen for you.
This understanding came by the vision of the night, it doesn't
matter whether it is through a vision, spoken word or a dream as
long as you are asleep when the revelation came to you.
A man was about to launch into ministry and was wondering
what to call the name of the ministry. It is true that God speaks to
people in dreams, visions or speak to their heart about the name of
the commission He wants them to execute, but others hear or see
nothing until they get to inquire from Him. This minister had to
inquire from God, but as he continued to pray, he heard nothing.
When he went to rest at night, he saw the name of the ministry in a
dream written in bold. When that was settled, he needed to have an
understanding of the venue and place to begin because our calling
and ministry is also dependent upon a particular geographical
location. He decided to pray and ask God again. As he prayed and
went to rest at night, God came and revealed to him the place and
venue to use for the ministry. This may look like a dream, but it is
the vision of the night. You can get divine guidance through vision
of the night. Many people never see it fit to ask God for answers
and solutions as they go to bed, they only limit their asking to a
particular time of prayer. God is your father, ask Him for things
even at bedtime, He will come to you with the answer and solution.
A dream is described to be when God awakens you with a
revelation whether at night or day putting the instruction and
commandment into your heart in times you never asked for it. He
111
Chapter Six VISION
shows and reveals it to you in the dream because it is vital for the
fulfilment of your destiny in life. There are many ministers that
never imagined themselves venturing into certain ministerial
function in God, but as they sleep, God give them a dream
containing the instruction and commandment to go to a place and
start a function. He may tell you in a dream to go to so and so
company and say so and so to a particular person, for he will
employ you after you are done talking. Such guidance was not as a
result of an immediate request by the individual. It might be a
prayer point that the individual prayed for long, not knowing what
he prayed for because as you pray in the spirit, The Holy Spirit does
the prayer and the time for the fulfilment may be hidden from you.
There are times when am supposed to go to a place of which I don't
know what to say in that place, in my confusion I ask God for
wisdom of what to say. As I sleep, God reveals to me what to say
and do and how to do it in a dream. Sometimes, I see the event
suddenly and fast. Such a vision of the night comforts me and gives
me a foreknowledge of the meeting.
A lot of times before I go to see people who demand my counsel,
I take out time to pray and ask God for what to say and do. That will
position me for the vision of the night or a revelation and a dream
before the day's schedule for the meeting. Most times, insights and
revelations through dream, vision and the vision of the night are
given to me so that when I meet the people, it becomes easy for me
to proffer solution as I counsel.
112
There was a time a family called me for counsel, there was a

challenge that I was to come proffer a solution to. I had to schedule
the meeting for another day so that I will have time to ask God
about the issue demanding His wisdom because a man can't solve
spiritual problems, it takes God and only Him to solve such
problems. Sometimes, He uses a human vessel to deliver the
solution. Most times when we are called upon to counsel during a
crisis, we are as clueless of the situation as the person needing the
counsel. This is why you must pray and ask God for His wisdom.
God will counsel you so that you can counsel others, just as God
can comfort you so that in the same manner you can comfort
others. It is possible to just depend upon The Holy Spirit for
revelation and insight to counsel others without taking out time to
seek The Father. But it will be good if we take out time to
fellowship with The Holy Spirit beforehand, so that He can
counsel us with His wisdom before we go to counsel others. I
prayed and received no revelation from God, but as I slept at night
pondering over the issue, God revealed to me by the vision of the
night what to do and how to do it as I go to see the family. I even saw
another assignment to execute in the same place which I didn't ask
God for. The first came as a dream, but the other came as the vision
of the night.
These realities are common among ministers and prophetic
people, although, many people that have such experience refer to it
generally as a dream. It is amazing how even prophetic people can't
113
Chapter Six VISION
differentiate the encounters they do have on a consistent basis,

whether it is a vision [close or open], dream, trance, daydreaming,
vision of the night, vision of the day, and many more. Nevertheless,
this is not an issue as long as the purpose is achieved and fulfilled.
For the purpose of reference and knowledge it has to be explained
to as many prophetic individuals who are confused after having
such encounters. Many people neglect the prophetic dealing and
discipline of God simply because they don't have the knowledge
and understanding of its operation in relating to their lives.
Maybe, if it is explained to them in a simpler form and with the
help of The Holy Spirit, they can comprehend and respond to God
aright to fulfil their purpose.
The dealing and speaking of God can be complicated and
confusing to many, but if understanding is given to them, it will
become interesting and easy to relate with. There are many
manifestations of vision as seen through scripture in regards to
how God dealt with His servants and ministers overtime. I will
consider and highlight a few for reference purposes to the above
subject matter.
All Prophets and Apostles in the scripture had various kinds of
vision from God inspired by The Holy Spirit. They received
revelations and insight from God to predict the future and reveal
what is to come. Jeremiah, a prophet called by God in Israel had
various visions of the people of Israel being taken to captivity by
the Assyrians. He was never believed by anyone in the land until it
came to pass as he prophesied.
114
Isaiah, a prophet of The LORD also saw numerous visions of

the future. He saw the birth of Christ Jesus and prophesied it that
“unto us a child is born and to us a son is given and the government
will be upon His shoulder, He will be called wonderful counsellor,
mighty God, everlasting father and prince of peace” (Isaiah 9:6-
7). Most of his visions and prophecies were captured in the book of
Isaiah. He was not believed in his days, but it came to pass that
Christ Jesus The Messiah was born according to prophecy.
David, a king and a prophet in Israel saw in a visions the future
of Israel, the birth and death of The Messiah. Most of his visions
and prophecies are captured in the book of Psalms. What he saw
and spoke came to pass because the word of God must be fulfilled.
God has spoken in time passed through visions to His people and
He is still speaking to us today through visions also and that which
He reveals and speaks to us will surely come to pass as long as The
LORD lives.
Visions have been a primitive spiritual means of
communication and is it is still not obsolete. You are not the first to
have a vision and you will not be the last to have one. Many people,
if not your close neighbours are also having and seeing some kind
of vision or the other. This spiritual reality is personal, and no one
gets to know until you tell them. God speaks to all in a language
they can understand and comprehend. It may differ among
individuals but the same God, Spirit and Lord that is the source of
the speaking.
115
Chapter Six VISION
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it

not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep
falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then he
openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction.
[Job 33:14 -16]
God is always speaking and finding a better means to talk to us,
but we don't always give Him the chance to communicate
effectively with us. So, He waits until we all asleep and our
conscience is at rest, then He opens our heart and puts His
instruction and commandment. We wake up with them in our heart
as a revelation or see them as a dream and a vision.
If you are serious about God speaking to you through the vision
of the night, then you must begin to keep a journal by your bed side
and always request and ask God for answers concerning things that
trouble your heart. It will amaze you how God will speak to you
and put His instructions in your heart. Many people make the
mistake of going to bed at night with anger, bitterness, obsession,
lust and unforgiveness in their heart. This alone can limit God from
speaking to you and even if He does, the devil you permitted into
your heart will steal it away from you.
Always calm yourself and be at peace with yourself before you
rest at day or at night because with such a clean and open heart and
mind, God will speak to you giving you a vision of the night as long
as you ask and request from Him in humility of heart. Even if you
are hurt and broken hearted by a friend, husband or sibling, ask The
Holy Spirit to come heal your heart as you sleep. When you write
116
your visions it seems to flow the more, the more you pick the
interest to write your vision the more you get more visions and
understanding you get of the visions.
Daniel was a prophetic intercessor that utilized the speaking of
God in his days in Babylon. There was a time when the king had a
dream and forgot it. He demanded for its interpretation and no one
was able to tell the dream and interpret it. He was willing to kill his
oracles, magicians and all the mouthpiece of their gods if he does
not get an answer. It was concluded that such task can only be
executed by the gods and they don't live among mortal men. They
never realized that a god dwelt among them in the person of
Daniel!
When Daniel came as summoned by the king, he demanded for
just a night to go inquire and ask from God the dream and its
interpretation. As he prayed at night and rested, God revealed to
him the dream and its revelation in a vision of the night. Notice that
Daniel didn't just have a dream, but he took a petition to God
because his life was also at stake in the hands of the king of
Babylon. When he related the situation at hand to God, God
revealed to him the dream of the king and its interpretation in the
vision of the night.
This was able to save all the wise men, oracles and magicians
who were supposed to be killed at the king's demand. Daniel came
and related the dream and its interpretation to the king, and this was
a surprise to all and that led to the decree of The LORD as the
sovereign ruler over all in the land of Babylon.
117
Chapter Six VISION
Vision of the Day

This is one of the common manifestations of vision as seen both
in the Old and New Testament. Prophetic people perceive events
and predict its occurrence as inspired by God. Have you been
praying in a group before and suddenly someone said that he saw
something and demanded that he be given time to relate what he
saw to all for edification. He may be seeing things that none of you
are seeing. Some may even wonder if what he saw is true.
Vision of the day as the name implies is the visualization of a
glimpse of the past, present or future event. This is common in
worship and prayer meetings as well as during meditation. This
normally comes to many as an imagination of a scenery shown on
something that looks like a screen in the physical reality. Some
always believe this to be their imagination, but what they saw is
real and will come to pass.
Vision is a word common among the fivefold offices. If you
have been to a church or ministry, you will be familiar with the
statement, 'I saw in a vision.' This is used by ministers mostly to
relate to the congregation what they saw in the vision of The Lord.
A critic may wonder if it is true what they claim to see. God does
speak through visions and those short clips seen are real. They may
be addressing things in the present, past or future depending on the
leadership of The Holy Spirit.
The vision of the day can be open or close vision. Open visions
are very real. They look like a live broadcast of an event presented
118
for you to watch and observe by God. It is like a scenery of a

scenario happening in the moment. It is very easy to comprehend
and interpret to another. This type of vision seems to last longer
than the close vision. This vision is more visible that even a novice
in the prophetic can understand and relate it to others when shown
to him by God.
A close vision is more of a parable than a vision. It is not
necessarily seen in a scenario occurring at the moment, it is like an
imagination, intuition or a perception that is real and living in your
heart. The heart is believed to have an eye in the spirit. That eye and
gate of the heart can be looked through to see the hidden truths
revealed to the heart by God through perception and imagination.
A close vision comes from the imagination of the mind. It is like
a mental painted picture which looks too true to be false.
Nonetheless, whether open or close vision, they all have the same
ability to manifest as all come from the same Spirit of Truth. These
two types of vision differ from each other, but most people miss out
when God speaks to them through a close vision. This is because it
requires some degree of focus and spiritual sensitivity. To
comprehend a close vision, your mind needs to be renewed to
become like the mind of Christ while an open vision, even the
worse among the unbelievers can comprehend and understand an
open vision because, it is vivid. Saul who became Paul was a
persecutor of believers. He was on his way to Damascus when
Jesus Christ encountered him in an open vision. He was able to
119
Chapter Six VISION
comprehend and understand that it was Jesus Christ talking to him.

This kind of experience of open vision is still prominent today.
I heard of people in the Middle East who have been having open
vision encounters with Jesus Christ, although they are not
believers. Kenneth E. Hagin of blessed memory, in his book, “I
Believe in Vision”, shared several open vision encounters he had
and most of them were with Jesus Christ. The depth of truth and
revelations he communicated from those visions cannot be denied.
Whether with your eyes close or open you can still have an open
vision, vision is a realm of reality that the flesh cannot attain unto. I
have watched tapes of William Mario Branham as he prophesied
over people. With his eyes closed or opened, he was able to see and
perceive the vision of The Lord concerning their lives. He told
them many of the secrets in their hearts and of course this is a
manifestation of the gift of the prophetic.
I believe God has no favourites, but he has men that are given
special privileges. These men have won a place in His heart. They
are permanently going to remain there as long as they keep on with
His requirements and demands. God always honour them that
honour Him! Anyone who dares to pay the price of obedience will
attend and access that height in God's heart overtime.
William Mario Branham said that, he always felt as though
Jesus Christ is standing by him. He also spoke of an angels sent to
work with him helping him in ministering to the sick. Kenneth E.
Hagin also said that he believes that Jesus Christ is standing by his
120
side and talking to him in his heart. Oral Robert said that, he
believes that Jesus Christ is with him and when he lays his hands on
the sick, He also lays His hands to heal the people. These are but a
few confessions of these men of faith. You may not believe them,
but you cannot deny the fact that they produce the result of their
confession. People can question the process, but they cannot
question the answer because the answer solves the question. Until
your life begins to produce the result of your confession, people
will always question you. The realm of open vision is so real that
some find it hard to believe. Nevertheless, like Saul who became
Paul the Apostle, the day you have an open vision encounter and a
visitation from God you will never forever doubt or deny the
reality.
I have had several open vision encounters that I can't put all into
writing. I do have open vision encounters of events, angels,
celestial realm and heavenly glory in general. The most important
is having an open vision encounter of Jesus Christ for such an
encounter is life changing because it takes you to another realm of
glory in God. Let me share a recent encounter that occurred years
ago. It was close to Yom Kippur exactly before Rosh Hashanah
(October 2) in preparation for the Jewish New Year. In this open
vision encounter, Jesus Christ came to me, He walked towards me
as He entered through the door of my room with angels and other
beings, He spoke words to me and laid His hands on me to pray for
me. He spoke words that may be consider strange by many and
unbelievable by others.
121
Chapter Six VISION
Prior to the aforementioned encounter, I had one on the 23rd of

September. I was waiting on God in fasting, praying and studying
when a friend called me. While as I was on phone with this friend
from another city, the atmosphere in my room changed suddenly; it
was like heaven on earth. I was fully aware of where I am and what
was going on but I was overwhelmed by the presence and glory of
God in my room. I saw two mighty angels in the glory of light and
three living creatures with the faces of a calf, eagle and a lion.
Immediately, wisdom and my spirit tried to educate me that there
are supposed to be four faces on the living creatures as recorded in
the scripture before I discredited the encounter, I saw a man come
out from between the three faces of the living creatures; it was like
the living creatures opened themselves to reveal a man that was
within them. When He came out, He walked toward me.
Immediately I saw Him, I fell down on the floor like a dead man
crying uncontrollable. When He approached me, He stretched
forth His right hand towards me, life and strength came to me to be
able to kneel down as He spoke to me. He said, “Today is the Day of
Atonement, for I have come to atone men of their sins, but these
angels you see here will also be numbering a few people that will
hold the influences of the earth for a time, but before I go, I will
pray for you and increase your authority and power.” After
speaking this, He prayed for me and left me drunk in the glory
atmosphere and presence of His power.
122
From that day, I realized some manifestations of The Spirit in

my life increased to another level, new angelic princes began to
walk with me each with its function. Some of these angelic princes
are the Sky Blue Angel which is the angel of the constellation; he
influences the power of the heavenly. The Red Angel, this angel is
in charge of impartation and deliverance, then the White Angel,
this angel is in charge of the presence. He carries some degree of
the holiness of the presence of God. Before then, I had only two
Light Angels that carry some degree of light and revelation, they
helped strengthen me in prayer and releases strength to me like
rays of light. I got these two angels from an open vision encounter
that lasted close to a month many years ago.
All these were visions, but the reality of it still remains with me
after many years. Sometimes, I wake up with the euphoria of the
encounters of many years ago. The angels and resources given by
God still remains and works with me as long as there is a demand
for their function. Vision is as powerful as a dream or any
revelation you can have from God. When you read the book “I
believe in vision” by Kenneth E. Hagin you will have more
understanding on vision and how true and real they are.
There are many people that have visions of terrible events and
disaster occurring without being serious with it until it occurs and
when it happens they cry with the guilt of not being serious about
the vision they saw. People can see a vision that reveals the death
of a loved one and eventually, those people get to die because the
vision was not acted upon when it was revealed by God.
123
Chapter Six VISION
When God gives you a vision, it may be an instruction or a warning

about a disaster yet to occur, you are to pray against the ones that
are evil and pray for the fulfilment of the good ones.
Don't trivialize your vision!
The spiritual realm is superior to the physical realm and visions
and other prophetic manifestation come from the spiritual realm
and it must be taken seriously. In Acts of the Apostles, Agapus had
a vision of how Paul will be bound in Jerusalem, but even though
he told Paul, Paul said that God has already shown him the vision
and he is willing to go to Jerusalem even if it will cause him his life.
What was spoken by Agapus of which he saw in a vision came to
pass.
Stephen was a deacon in the early church, he was a man filled
with The Holy Spirit. It was recorded that when he was being
stoned by the enemies of the gospel, he lifted up his eyes to heaven
and saw in an open vision Jesus Christ standing as the heaven
opened. He was a deacon, but at his death as a man of faith, Jesus
gave him a standing ovation.
I have related with certain spiritual people that are considered
common in their society by many, but it will amaze you to know the
various means God uses to speak to them and some of them never
took it serious at all. There are many people that are hearing God
communicating to them through visions, but they don't care to give
it attention while some people will tell you their visions don't make
sense; who says it has to make sense? You are the one that is
124
supposed to find the sense in it. Everything has a foundation and a

building pattern. When you look at the foundation or skeletal
structure of the building, it never makes sense to everybody.
There are other people that do have visions, but because they
never cared to write them down and take the speaking of God
seriously and God decided not to give them visions again. God
does not do things for fun. If He continues to give you visions and
you do nothing about them, time will come when He stops giving
them to you except otherwise. If vision is a means God uses to
communicate to us, then if He tries severally to speak to us by that
means and we don't respond, He will try another means. Just pray
you discern the new means He will use to communicate to you in
time before you miss out of His blessings.
When you see ministers who have gone ahead in the prophetic,
functioning in graces and gifting of the prophetic, the way they do
it with ease might intimidate people who are new in the prophetic.
Know that as successful as they are, they didn't start like that, what
you see is the result not the process. They also had a first time and a
season when they were learning. They didn't get it all good and
right at once, surely they made some mistakes and errors, but all
the summation of the processes led to the result of competence and
accuracy been displayed.
God must have to train you to understand the basis and
foundation before you become an authority in that realm of
operation. Every great leader you see and admire today had a time
when no one ever admired them.
125
Chapter Six VISION
Those times, he was undergoing his process in God and no one

likes process, everyone loves the result of great men without the
pains and failures they have been through.
I believe that every great leader must have made some mistakes
in life as well as done some foolish things once upon a time, but by
many experiences they mastered their profession, and now people
love and admire them. It doesn't matter what stage you are now
spiritually in God, just be faithful and continue to master the
process, you will soon produce results that will amaze people and
the world at large, but most importantly, it will give glory to God.
It is my desire that as you begin to take serious your vision and
pray about them, it will give you a road map and a glimpse of what
your future entails. Take out time to study the scriptures to get an
understanding of how God related with people via vision and know
how to respond to Him as He encounters you. Learn to study other
literatures also on the subject matter to get more knowledge,
understanding and revelation. I believe that knowledge is power
and wisdom in the hand of a wise man. An investment in
knowledge can cost you, but it is worth it. It will deliver you from
the bondage of ignorance and elevate you above the average,
putting you upon a pedestal above your fellows. Every true leader
is a reader and all leaders are moved and motivated by their visions.
If you must achieve something in this life, you need a vision and it
is already in our DNA to fulfil a dream and vision.
Vision is a tool of the prophetic that God uses to foretell and
reveals to us the plans of heaven concerning the earth and our lives.
126
The essence is to bring us to collaborate with Him so that He can

mirror heaven on earth using His true sons. If heaven must invade
earth, then it has to be through the agency of man and God gave
man that invitation by giving him a vision of things to do for the
kingdom.
I pray that God will find you worthy to receive a vision from
Him so that you can reveal a pattern of heaven on earth and may He
cause you to have a life changing encounter that will set you upon
the cause of your destiny fulfilling purpose. Amen.
Shalom!!!
127
Chapter Seven
TRANCE AND DAYDREAMING
T here is yet another reality that exists in the prophetic

manifestation of God and this is not common to many,
although it is also a normal daily experiences of the
prophetic. These experiences are worthy of note and are very
common in the scriptures as men of old had lots of such
encounters. In times past, our forefathers and pioneers of faith had
most of such encounters as recorded.
I read of Maria Woodworth-Etter and how people who were lost
in worship had trance experiences in which they saw the realities
of heaven in her meetings. This was amazing because when the
meeting was over, the fear of God increased in the life of people.
Some may not have had a trance experience, but they will have
daydreaming encounters in which they were lost in thought and
mind for a while as they saw a passive scenery of the glory of God.
Daydreaming
Have you ever been lost in thought and mind before? Or have
you ever been absentminded before? Most of these realities are
prophetic in nature and common among prophetic individuals, but
most times we don't understand them to be able to relate with
wisdom gaining understanding to that speaking. Daydreaming is
128
The Prophetic & Vision TRANCE & DAYDREAMING
not just a dream in the daytime, but being absentminded in time at a

particular moment without being asleep.
Most people that experience daydreaming called it, lost in
thought and memory. Sometimes there is a prophetic transaction
going on that you are called to share and partake in time because
you were absentminded, you became aware of another reality in
another realm. There are times when as you discuss with people
and suddenly, you lose your sense of concentration and become
aware of another reality and thought pattern that your mind was
not focusing on initially. People do fantasize, but when you are in
the midst of a conversation and suddenly you are taken in the mind
to focus on another thing that looks real and living, this is beyond
fantasy. The person will not be focusing on you at the moment, but
he is sure focusing on another thing that got hold of him for that
moment which dwells in another realm of reality far from you
both.
There is no in-between in being absent or present, it is either
you are present here and absent there or you are absent there and
present here. When people lose the sense of consciousness of this
realm of existence, they sure are in another realm of existences.
Not all go to heaven when they are away from the earth, there are
other realms of realities in the heavens that people get to
experience when they are not present and conscious of the earth.
God can also use daydreaming as a prophetic tool to reveal
things to us as prophetic people. Many a time, we have been to
129
Chapter Seven TRANCE & DAYDREAMING
places and seen people for the first time, but have the feeling and
impression that we have seen them before and been to the location
before. You may not have fantasized about the place or the person,
but the reality was revealed to you beforehand somehow by God.
When you hear a person speak about heavenly encounters and you
have never had one before even in a vision, then you may find
yourself fantasizing and daydreaming about the heavenly. This is
possible with many other things in life too and God that dwells in
the realms of the heaven and sees no impossibilities can cause you
to have that encounter fulfilling the desire you daydreamed and
fantasized about.
In most trance experience, people lose consciousness of time
and their senses and most times your eyes may be closed, but in
daydreaming your eyes are open. Nonetheless in both cases, you
are away from the realm that surrounds you and in another gate or
window of another realm not visible to you with the physical eyes.
Visions are like living in two realties at the same time because your
senses are in place in this realm, but another sense that dwells
within you switches on giving you the ability to visualize and have
a mental awareness of something in another realm.
Daydreaming is a normal prophetic experience like vision,
dream and trance. God uses it to show us things in the language we
can understand. I do daydream of a lot of things and surely many
came to pass. You may call it a desire, but the passion consumed
me which took over my thinking and imagination. If I tell you I
130
will be buying you a spaceship so you can go to space tomorrow, I

believe you will be consumed with the thought of that possibility.
Your imagination will be actively and passionately conjuring up
images of travelling on your own spaceship to space. This
imagination will look so real.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that
worketh in us. [Ephesians 3:20]
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as
snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as
wool. [Isaiah 1:18]
God has called us to His realm of reasoning, musing, pondering
and imagination. The word imagination is “yetzer” in Hebrew and
it means to have a mental picture of something in your mind which
is imprinted and real. God has asked us to dare to imagine and
think, ponder on anything. When you have done that, He then says
that we should come with that imagination to reason with Him.
When you imagine and think things as you fantasize them wanting
to achieve them, don't just stop there, but come to The Lord so that
you can reason with Him on those things. It is when you reason
with God that He edits and restructures what is imprinted in your
mind by yetzer, so that it does not turn out to be of any harm to you.
Everything ever achieved in life by great people began with a
thought and a yetzer in their mind. Until you imagine the
131
possibility of a thing, then you can achieve it because you cannot

grow and rise above the capacity of your mind.
What are you thinking of? And what do you want to achieve in
life? If you can think it and have a mental picture of it, then you
have passed the first stage. Then, you take it for further evaluation
by God through reasoning together with Him so that He can edit
and restructure the plan and vision to align with heaven's
government and purpose for your life. As you reason with God via
The Holy Spirit, the idea is screened to see if it will do more harm
than good to the world before is approved by God. If what you
think of will harm the world, God will not give you His support and
approval. He will demand you to do another thinking, but if it will
heal the world, He will release His grace and resources toward you
to fulfil it. The power of imagination lies in the possibility to
motivate and empower you to achieve what you daydream about.
There are many people that have achieved certain things on earth
just because they daydreamt and fantasized them with God. Don't
just fantasize about things, always involve God into it by bringing
it for proper reasoning with Him.
Some people may not even see a vision or dream about anything
at night, but they have a natural likeness for something and its
passion also consumes them. This will lunch them into the realm of
fantasy and daydreaming. When you continue to imagine a thing
for long, there is a great tendency that you will daydream about it at
all times. There are people who always fantasize and daydream
132
about being in a particular city they love. They can be

absentminded while talking to you, but present minded in the city,
this makes them happy and glad.
Your prosperity and calling also depends on certain
geographical location in the physical. When you fantasize and
daydream about a particular location, it might be a divine
orchestration by God shifting and calling you to walk upon the path
of destiny. People that achieve great things have a high sense of
imagination. They daydream and imagine the possibility of
conquering one more city or town so as to spread their influence
into another country.
When you are consumed by the passion of a thing, you are
bound to daydream and have visionary imagination about it. God
loves people that have a passion for things. It doesn't matter what
you want to achieve in life, as long as it does not contradict the
principles of God, do that with the whole of your heart. I dare you
to let the zeal and passion drive you and permit God to guide you by
submitting your passion, desire and want for proper editing. For
God will always support a structure and vision He is a part of from
the beginning. You need the approval of God before you begin
anything, else it will not stand and last long.
God is not against His children's daydreams and fantasies about
His kingdom and purpose, but it has to be under His government
and authority so that the world can be properly improved and
healed. Not many people daydream in life, but as many that are
133
called to fulfil a great destiny on the earth under God, they usually
find themselves daydreaming about their assignment on earth.
You can daydream and fantasize about anything that the mind
can grasp as long as it is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good
report, virtuous and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8). You can
daydream about yourself preaching the gospel, healing the sick, on
a mission field, as a doctor, as a lawyer, as a politician and as many
other things. Daydreaming is like a wakeup call to push you further
to fulfilling your destiny. You don't have to stop at daydreaming,
but rise up with passion and zeal to fulfil that which has taken a
hold of your imagination and bring it to reality on earth.
Lots of the people that achieve impossible things always say
that, 'I once imagined it, I dreamt about it, and I know it will be
possible' and now it is possible after a while in their lives. In the
same manner, your daydreaming will become a reality if you take a
step further from just fantasy.
Trance
Trance is yet another healthy prophetic experience that is
common among prophetic people, but the lack of awareness and
understanding makes it look like a strange manifestation. It is
common in the body of Christ that most people do have spiritual
experiences, but they can't accurately differentiate between those
encounters whether it is a vision, dream, trance, daydream or spirit
transport, these are but a few and with the many manifestations of
134
the prophetic. The younger generation who are new to this

manifestation must be informed and school aright of what to
expect in the prophetic, although The Holy Spirit will still be their
main educator and counsellor.
A lot of errors and mistakes can be avoided if our elders can
communicate the knowledge of their dealings and discipline with
God overtime. This will educate us aright on what to expect as we
journey in God. Nevertheless, the younger generation must take it
upon themselves to give heed to knowledge and to studying the
word. It is true that in spiritual and prophetic dealing, you must be
schooled by God and His Holy Spirit because the schooling of men
is not sufficient for you.
The schooling of men can form the basic foundation for the
journey, but in other to attain an optimum plane in God, you must
be schooled again by God Himself. Most Spiritual and prophetic
experiences happen and occur spontaneously, and most times God
is not under any obligation to explain to you the type of experience
He is giving you as long as the message is delivered. God expects
you to follow through His dealings with you because He has done
the same with those who have gone ahead of you. God puts in place
leaders and mentors to show unto us the patterns and footprints of
how they walked with Him so that we can follow suit. God is
always looking for a faithful man who He can teach so that he can
always teach others. Nonetheless, God will always still teach you
later, but not from the basic.
135
Prophetic experiences are common among people and if people

are informed on what to expect, they will be able to relate with God
in an easy way. It is unfortunate that the younger generation never
give much regard to reading and studying. God has scrolls in the
spiritual realm and scrolls translated by men in the physical realm.
The scribes in heaven write spiritual scrolls and the scribes on earth
are given the revelation to translate and write scrolls in the physical
realm for our consumption. These scrolls educate and release
impartation upon the reader. No true leader fails in life because the
power of the knowledge he possesses attracts success to him
naturally. In the society, people that are considered great are those
that solve problems that trouble the nations. The solutions to world
problems are written in ancient scrolls in the heavens. We are to see
the solutions to issues as written in heaven's scrolls and reveal as it
relates to the present physical condition.
Every problem on the earth has its solution written in the scrolls
of heavens. The problem lingers for long because there is no one
found worthy to access those truth and realities written in the
scrolls. People that read, study and fellowship with The Holy Spirit
are given the access to see the writing of the scrolls and reveal it to
men on earth. Many don't care to read, so even when they try to
read in the flesh they don't see. When a solution cannot be found on
the physical scrolls and literatures on the earth, then it is time to
visit the spiritual library in the heavens that contain scrolls. No
matter how big, difficult and complicated your problem is, that is
136
no concern to heaven because the scrolls that contain the answer to

your problems was written even before the problem befell you on
earth. You can't solve spiritual issues and problems using earthly
and physical means, you must take a walk into the realm of the
spirit to see and read from the scrolls that contain truths and
realities.
Prophetic people have found this a common reality to partake of
the minute of heaven's meeting so as to share in the distribution of
wisdom and sharing of scrolls. New scrolls are still being written
as new discoveries and issues arise in the heaven and the earth. The
shaping of the world is done by the activities and collaboration of
heavenly and earthly princes that God put in places for His
kingdom sake. The laws that govern the earth are being reshape,
and rewritten as men transit into God discerning new discoveries
and technology that will ease the suffering of mankind in time.
Don't you wonder at the level of depth and wisdom exhibited by
some people? These people do partake of scrolls and have insights
of God's new creation in the heavens. God is still creating things
for the betterment of mankind and He use humans to achieve that
knowingly or unknowingly.
There may be no physical solution to a challenge on earth, but
there is always a spiritual solution and answer that lies in the
heavens. The heavens of God never lack the ability to proffer
solution to man's need on earth. Nevertheless, heaven is a place
and realm of order and protocols, you don't just ascend unto the
137
heavenly at will to attend meetings. You must be summoned or

given permission by God to come into the gathering of princes and
sons to partake of the procession that God initiates.
There are times when God gives scrolls to people to eat as an
impartation of new wisdom and fresh utterances. John the beloved
in the book of Revelation was given a scroll to eat which gave him
the ability to prophesy again the counsel of God to kings, prince,
cities and nations. Most prophetic people do have encounters in
which they are given scrolls or books to eat, read or look upon, this
is an impartation of new wisdom and knowledge, and fresh
revelation and utterances for the new season. Such encounter
marks the end of a season and the beginning of a new one in the
person's life.
One of the common prophetic experiences God uses to summon
people into the court of heaven to attend meetings is via trance.
Trance is a prophetic experience that is orchestrated by God.
During such an encounter, your natural senses becomes fragile and
another sense switches on and you do not have control of what you
see or hear. It is like you are in an automatic mode driven by
someone.
Most trance experiences are accurate and revelatory in nature.
During the encounter, your spirit can communicate with God, but
your senses are fragile. Most people that have trance encounters
blackout in the initial and find themselves in another reality of
existence.
138
They see and hear things in that realm, uncommon revelatory

insights are given to them. It is always accompanied by a release of
tremendous presence of The Holy Spirit and even angelic presence
at times. Trance experiences are not a usual spiritual encounter
because it gets to blow your own theology about God and His
creation. Just like spirit transport, this prophetic experience is
energy demanding, that is why the presence of The Holy Spirit and
the angelic are commonly seen during this encounter.
On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew
nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray
about the sixth hour: And he became very hungry, and
would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a
trance, And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel
descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the
four corners, and let down to the earth: Wherein were all
manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts,
and creeping things, and fowls of the air. And there came a
voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. But Peter said, not
so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common
or unclean. And the voice spake unto him again the second
time, what God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again
into heaven. [Acts 10:9-16]
Cornelius was a centurion who feared God. He was praying on a
faithful day as he normally does when God sent His angel to
encounter him and demand he sends for peter who is at Joppa at the
moment. Peter was at Joppa praying when he fell into a trance. As
he fasted and prayed in Joppa, he became hungry and was caught
139
up in a trance where he saw something that looked like a long sheet

of paper laydown from heaven to the earth. This sheet contains all
kind of animals in it including those animals that were considered
unclean in the Jewish culture and tradition. As Peter watched in
amazement, a voice spoke to him saying, “Arise Peter, kill and
eat.” Suddenly, peter replied No! For I have never eaten anything
unclean since I was born. God spoke to him again rebuking him not
to call what He has created unclean. This encounter was not really
about Peter, but for the good of Cornelius the Gentile that God
wanted to honour his service and prayer. The encounter was not for
Peter, but was for Cornelius. God was trying to prepare Peter's
heart for the task of going to preach and witness among the
Gentiles which was forbidden for them.
When it was time for the Gentiles to come into the
commonwealth of Israel and become partakers of the inheritance
of the saints, Peter who is the rock had to be the first to open that
realm of operation for Paul to find footing and continue as an
apostle called, graced and separated for the Gentiles. Peter was the
apostle to the Jewish people while Paul was the apostle to the
Gentiles. When Peter went to Cornelius' house as commanded by
God, he witnessed about Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit came
upon the Gentiles and they all began to speak in other tongues as
The Spirit gave them utterance. This happened without the laying
on of hands of the apostles, God made it that supernatural so that no
one, not even a Jewish apostle will glory in the salvation of the
140
Gentiles. It was the desire of God to bring together the Jews and the
Gentiles and that could only be done if the barrier of separation
between them was removed. For God to achieve that, He had to
give the Gentiles that same precious gift of The Father which is The
Holy Spirit.
When Peter was rebuked and questioned by his fellows as to
why he went to the house of a Gentile, he made them understand
that God did what He did by His sovereignty. Although they didn't
fully comprehend that God opened that door so as to unite the Jews
and the Gentiles in Jesus Christ. Paul had an understanding
because God revealed that to him when He called him when he had
the encounter on his way to Damascus. In Acts of the Apostles,
Ananias while praying for Saul who became Paul, God told him
not to see him as a persecutor and an evil man again for He has
called him and shown him what he will suffer as he witnesses to the
Gentile world.
Trance still remains a vital way through which God reveals His
secrets and mysteries to us even in our society today. Many people
have life changing trance encounters on a daily basis. This
experiences can be spontaneous and momentary in our lives. There
was a day we went for a prophetic meeting with some friends. In
the midst of the procession of worship and prayer, I was caught up
in a trance into another realm, I saw substances like rain dropping
upon people and pearls given to us. As I tasted the substance, it had
no taste, but oily in nature.
141
Heaven's resource may not make sense to us, but they carry
spiritual reality and texture that can form the structure for our
sustenance in God for a season. I had a trance encounter some years
ago while waiting on God through studying and praying when
suddenly a wind blew around me and I changed realm
immediately. I saw an angel stand by me. He stretched forth his
hand towards me and my eyes were closed, then he took me to
heaven. As we toured the heaven, he handed me over to another
angel that angel took me a distance and handed me over to two
angels. These ones clothed me with something that looked like a
living white garment. Those two angels handed me over to one
angel who took me to the presence of God. Immediately, I fell
down like a dead man before the glory of God, but He stretched
forth His hand and life entered my spirit and raised my body to
stand. He spoke to me in my spirit for a while and released
impartation on me. After much speaking, I was taken back to the
earth realm. The same angel took me and handed me over to the
two angels who handed me over to another until the last one that
brought me to my body in the physical realm. I wondered and
pondered why the switch in angels until I realized that it was not
really about the angels, but there is a chain of command and
protocol observed in heaven. The realms and sphere of the heaven
are seen as territories with boundaries of jurisdiction. Not all
angels function in the same realm, sphere and dimension. They
communicate to each other by a chain of command from the
142
highest to the lowest. Certain realms and spheres are not within the
boundary and jurisdiction of certain angels. They can only pass
through them if permitted by God. When God summons you, the
message passes through a chain of command before it gets to you.
The trance experience was revelatory to me. I woke up praying
in the spirit and sweating with a strange and heavy presence of The
Holy Spirit. Uncommon wisdom and revelation and certain
abilities in me switched on as they were activated by God. A
genuine love for God is a vital precursor for such an encounter.
When you love God beyond everything, He will try to speak and
communicate to you because His speaking gives strength and life.
The more God speaks and communicates with me, the more life
and strength I receive. A deep confidence was built in me to trust
God the more and dare to go further in my pursuit of more of Him. I
must say that most prophetic encounters are a product of your
fellowshipping with The Holy Spirit. People that fellowship with
The Holy Spirit always have uncommon prophetic supernatural
encounters that releases wisdom, revelation and power to them.
If you don't know more of The Holy Spirit and never cared to
know of Him, you will be lacking in the experiences of the
prophetic. Angelic encounters are also possible for you when you
develop a constant communion and fellowship with The Holy
Spirit since The Holy Spirit is a Spirit that dwell in both realms and
has no limitation in both sphere. When you bond with Him during
fellowshipping and communion, He will take you to places in God
that you have never been before.
143
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the
Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. [1
Corinthians 2:10]
As I fellowshipped and communed with The Holy Spirit in my
inner closet, I suddenly blacked-out and a new reality was opened
unto me. I am now able to see and hear God talk to me. Spirit
transport and trance are common to people that commune and
fellowship with The Holy Spirit by meditation. Meditating is
another realm of operation in which you ponder and muse
permitting God to pray through you the burden of His heart and
your heart. It is like giving God a ground in your heart to sample the
burden in His heart as He sees the burden in your heart, then
consoles and eases the burden by answering the prayers releasing
peace and strength to you.
It is common for believers to pray to God, but they never permit
God to put His burden in their heart. When you meditate, you are
not just musing and marinating, but you are permitting God via His
Spirit to pray His burden through you. This results to much
strength and power released upon you. Meditation is not a demonic
activity as many are meant to believe, but meditation is another
way of praying spiritually.
You learn how God speaks to your spirit and how you speak to
His Spirit as you meditate. It is like a holy romance and sharing of
the intent and content of heart. It takes some level of spiritual
discipline to come into this realm of operation in God, but it is very
possible. It is a quiet discussion with God in your heart because He
144
has taken a place and sits within your heart. You don't have to
shout, but just muse and ponder in silence about His love and how
grateful you are for Him watching over you daily. You can also talk
to Him about your weakness and challenges. You must be very
honest with God when it comes to meditation because you have no
reason to be shy or hide any secret from Him. He is already seated
in your heart listening to you speak to Him. What a love affair!
Meditation is talking to The Holy Spirit that dwells inside of
you. Most times, we talk to The Holy Spirit as if He is a Spirit that
comes and stands face to face with us conversing, No! The Holy
Spirit is within us and we communicate from the heart to Him as
He witnesses to our spirit in our heart. There is The Spirit upon us;
which came during our baptism in The Holy Ghost, but that Spirit
went into our heart and dwells in our spirit. It becomes The Spirit
within us that energies us in our walking with God.
The Holy Spirit within us edifies and builds a spiritual fortress
within us, it is a deep well spring of living waters.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of
his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he
of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus
was not yet glorified.) [John 7:38-39]
That water is The Spirit within us that edifies us from the inside
out. In meditation, you talk to The Spirit that dwells inside of your
heart. God's Spirit is not only dwelling upon us but also within. The
145
Spirit upon is used to bless and minister to others touching their

lives, but The Spirit within us edifies and consoles us as it counsels
us daily. We need to put more emphasis on The Spirit of God within
us as we focus on The Spirit upon us to bless others.
When you fellowship and commune, praying with The Holy
Spirit, although you are edified within, the presence of the
anointing and power is built and concentrated upon to bless others.
When you meditate with The Holy Spirit who dwells in your heart,
you are tapping into the living spring of living waters inside of your
spirit to edify and build your spirit to be able to contain God and
His dealings in your life. God is the one that puts that spring within
us and we must take advantage of it. Lots of people never realize
that they can talk to the God that dwell within them as The Spirit of
Truth. When you speak and ponder the word of God to Him during
meditation, He cannot but answer His word which cannot be
broken and settled in heaven even before the foundations of the
earth were set.
I urge you to begin the practice of meditation and fellowship,
communing with The Holy Spirit that dwells within and upon you
so that you can be built and edified within your heart and spirit
carrying the supernatural presence of the anointing to bless others
under God. Amen.
Shalom!!!

Chapter Eight
SPIRIT TRANSPORT
A
s the name implies, spirit transport is another prophetic
experience that exist in the realm of God. This may not
look common among prophetic people, but was common
in scriptures in time past. Men that walked with God in time past
had such encounters where they left their bodies to another
location, it was like being in dual-locations where you are seen by
people in two locations functional and active. This may sound
strange, but this manifestation is found among the prophetic
manifestations and experiences of God.
Prophetic individuals in time past had this encounters and many
travelled in the spirit, with their spirit, soul and body. Spirit
transport is the movement from one place to another by the aid and
agency of The Holy Spirit and the angels of The Lord. Philip the
Apostle was transported after talking with the Ethiopian eunuch.
God has no limitation, we men do and this is simply because of our
unbelief.
Everything is possible in God if we can just believe. Spiritual
transportation and transport in the spirit was common in the life of
the prophets of old. It is possible for God to transport people
supernaturally from one place to another and this is not an
exclusively preserved for certain spiritual elites, but for anyone
147
The Prophetic & Vision SPIRIT TRANSPORT
who dares to believe in God. Jesus Christ after He resurrected

came to the apostles passing through the wall as they wondered and
surprised at what means of transportation that was. He was known
as a man that did terrible signs and wonders, but now they saw even
more than a sign and a wonder.
When a man is being transported in the spirit, he sees no
limitation in the physical realm. He is not held bound by natural
laws and principles. Passing through walls and appearing and
disappearing are so possible for him. He is possessed and
controlled by the spirit and chariots of heaven. When a man is
about to be transported, he is transformed to light and spirit, that is
why he cannot not be touched.
Jesus Christ after revealing Himself to them by spirit transport
ascended into heaven by the Jordan river where they saw Him
lifted up to His father. This encounter they had was enough to
motivate them to dare the possibility of spirit transport in God.
Paul the apostle said, “I know a man 14 years ago whether in the
flesh or in the spirit, he was caught up and transported into the third
heaven, this man had encounters and saw things that are unlawful
for him to utter.”
It was possible for the apostles to follow suit after Christ Jesus
because they saw Him do the same thing and that realm of
possibility was opened to them all. It is true that if you can see
someone do a thing and follow after the principle and patterns that
he followed, you can do the same and even more if you can just
148
Chapter Eight SPIRIT TRANSPORT
believe. After the death of Christ Jesus, The Messiah many years
ago, Philip the evangelist was instructed by God to join himself
with the chariot of an Ethiopian eunuch who was on a pilgrimage to
Jerusalem. He had a scroll that he was reading which contained the
prophecies of the prophet Isaiah. This eunuch was finding it hard to
comprehend the prophecies written by the prophet of a messiah
that will come and die for the sins of mankind. Philip by The Holy
Spirit was led to join himself with the eunuch's chariot and ask him,
“Understand thou what thou read?”
Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself
to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard
him read the prophet Esaias, and said, understandest thou
what thou readest? And he said, how can I, except some
man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would
come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which
he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not
his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken
away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is
taken from the earth. [Isaiah 53:7-8]. And the eunuch
answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh
the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Then
Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture,
and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their
way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said,
See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou
mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus
149
Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to

stand still: and they went down both into the water, both
Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when
they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord
caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and
he went on his way rejoicing. But Philip was found at
Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities,
till he came to Caesarea. [Acts 8:29-40]
Philip was able to explain to him what he read and after he
comprehended it, he demanded to be baptized believing in the
name of Jesus Christ who took away the sins of mankind. When
Philip was done with the assignment of talking to the Ethiopian
eunuch, he was transported by the spirit as he disappeared to re-
appears in another region of Azotus to preach and minister as a
witness of Christ Jesus.
Transport in the spirit is not limited to when your body is lifted.
There are times when your body remains in the location as your
spirit and soul tours another realm. It is possible to be in two
different places at the same time performing different functions.
There have been several encounters of such. I have heard most
ministers speak about such encounters at work in their lives.
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a
great voice, as of a trumpet. [Revelations 1:10]
John the beloved said, he was in the spirit on The Lord's Day
when he had a spirit transport encounter to the very presence of
God. He was banished to the Island of Patmos after many attempts
to kill him failed. Emperor Nero persecuted the apostles unto death
150
in his time. Many of them were martyred, but John the beloved
survived and was banished to the Island of Patmos to die a natural
death. But instead of dying, he brought another revelation of Christ
Jesus to the body of Christ. He was taken to the spirit realm and
transported in the spirit to see things that were, are and will be. He
saw past, present and future events that will unfold overtime in the
body of Christ. Spirit transport is aided by the chariots, angels and
presence of The Holy Spirit. This is also common in the Old
Testament.
The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in
the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the
valley which was full of bones, and caused me to pass by
them round about: and, behold, there were very many in
the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said
unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I
answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. Again he said unto
me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye
dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord
GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter
into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you,
and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin,
and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know
that I am the LORD. So I prophesied as I was commanded:
and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a
shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up
upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was
no breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the
wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith
151
the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and
breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I
prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came
into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an
exceeding great army. [Ezekiel 37:1-10]
Ezekiel was a prophet called in exile and ordained by God as
His prophet to speak to the children of Israel His counsel in those
hard and terrible times. He was taken in the spirit and shown things
that have passed for many years. He had encounters of the past,
present and future. He was transported in the spirit and shown the
temple of Jerusalem. He was shown the atrocities and the iniquities
committed by the children of Israel in times past which resulted in
their present suffering. God shows the prophet past actions of the
Israelites that led to their present predicament and revealed to him
what they ought to do to be free from that captivity.
There are times when God will not just speak a thing to you, He
will want you to see it as it is in the spirit realm. He will take you by
the spirit and transport you to the very place where that reality
dwells, then He speaks to you, giving you instructions and
commandment of what to do. God did the same thing to John as He
did to Ezekiel. For Ezekiel to come into the understanding of Israel
as an entity under God, he was taken to see the journey of God with
them overtime; how they disobeyed and served other gods until He
gave them up to captivity. God revealed to the prophet the
promises He made to save them after they repent and turn back to
Him.
152
Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice

of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the
LORD from his place. I heard also the noise of the wings of
the living creatures that touched one another, and the
noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a
great rushing. So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away,
and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the
hand of the LORD was strong upon me. Then I came to
them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of
Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there
astonished among them seven days. [Ezekiel 3:12-15]
With such an understanding, the prophet can now lead the
people through a time of repentance praying and asking God for
His deliverance and mercy upon them. John the beloved went
under the same dealing and discipline. He had to be banish by
persecution to the Island of Patmos before he was transported by
the spirit of God to the very heavens and presence of God.
And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up
his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
[1kings 18:46]
Elijah the prophet experienced spirit transport after he was done
with the contest on Mount Carmel which led to the death of the
false prophets and rain upon the land. As he prayed for the heaven
to be open so that it can rain again. He told the king to leave and go
home for it is about to rain. The king never believed the prophet
until he saw the rain coming before he began to saddle his chariots
to take him home. The king had the best of chariots in the kingdom,
153
but it was recorded that Elijah ran faster and went ahead of the
king's chariots. This was possible by the spirit, angels and chariots
of heaven. Elijah was transported by the spirit of God to move
faster than the chariots of the king. This had to be supernatural
because no normal man moves faster than a chariot. There is a
realm in which such a manifestation exists in God, anyone can
walk in that realm if there is a need and God sees him fit for it.
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah
said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be
taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a
double portion of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou
hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I
am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it
shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on,
and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire,
and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw
it, and he cried, my father, my father, the chariot of Israel,
and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he
took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
[2kings 2:9-12]
When it was time for Elijah to rest in God and he had to exit this
realm of reality, it was recorded that he was taken up by a
whirlwind by the river Jordan, this was done through spirit
transport. His protégé Elisha cried out, “my father, my father the
chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof.” Elisha saw the
whirlwind as they took his spiritual father away from him. When a
154
man is being transported by the spirit, he can be seen in the glory of

the angels, chariots and presence of the Holy Spirit.
And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took
him [Genesis 5:24]
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see

death; and was not found, because God had translated
him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that
he pleased God. [Hebrews 11:5]
Enoch was a man of faith, he walked with God and it was
recorded that he was not found again among men for God took
him. He was a man that walked and functioned with God. He has a
track record of walking with God. God needed him as a friend even
in heaven. He had to transport him to heaven permanently; spirit,
soul and body. God always achieves spirit transportation by the
chariots of The LORD. When a person is to exit the earth realm to
the heaven, it is done by the chariots of fire. But when
transportation is going to be from one place to another within the
earth realm, it is done by the chariot of The LORD. Whenever it
involves the chariots of fire, there will be a change of realm.
Elisha who was a protege of Elijah who also functioned after the
order of his father, had such prophetic experience of spirit transport
also. Naaman was an army general that was leprous and he was
referred to Elisha for healing and cleansing. Elisha helped him
without collecting an offering from him. Gehazi who was
supposed to be the protege of Elisha as he served under him as a
155
son, but in his greed went to the army general to collect the offering
he brought to Elisha of which he refused to collect. Gehazi went
without the consent of Elisha his spiritual covering and father.
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha
said unto him, “Whence comest thou, Gehazi?” And he
said, Thy servant went no whither. And he said unto him,
Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again
from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money,
and to receive garments, and olive yards, and vineyards,
and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and
maidservants? The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall
cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed forever. And he went
out from his presence a leper as white as snow. [2kings
5:25 -27]
Unknown to Gehazi, Elisha was transported in the spirit to see
the selfish and greedy transaction that he did with the army general
who was healed of leprosy. When he came back home, he was
questioned by Elisha about why he had to follow after the army
general to collect the gift that was rejected? Gehazi denied that he
didn't collect anything from the army general until Elisha let him
realized that he was transported in the spirit to see him when he
went after the general to collect the gifts in his name. Because of
Gehazi's disobedient and lies, the leprosy that was cleansed from
the army general came upon him and so he remained a leprous
man.
There was another time when the enemy of Israel were planning
different strategies that they will use to fight Israel. Whenever they
156
planned, the secrets were being revealed to the king of Israel by

Elisha the prophet. The other king thought he was being betrayed
by his own people because these meetings were done in the king's
chamber of which no unwanted guests are allow entrance.
Information got to the king that there is a prophet in Israel who
reveals the secret things discussed by the king and his men to the
king in Israel. Elisha was transported in the spirit to attend the
meeting in the king's chamber, then he goes and relates what
transpired in the meeting to the king of Israel. The king sent an
army to capture the prophet in Israel, but by supernatural
manifestation, the prophet gave the whole army blindness and led
them to the very camp of the army of Israel.
God can use spirit transport to reveal to us ancient secrets and
code of conduct that were functional in times past which were
neglected as people transited in dealing with God. The chariots of
God that were saddled with the responsibility of transporting
people often in the spirit are the cherubim and Seraphim.
Sometimes, a clusters of angelic beings of different ranks work
together to achieve this purpose.
Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel
upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto
the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and
their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in
the middle of a wheel. When they went, they went upon
their four sides: and they turned not when they went. As for
their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and
157
their rings were full of eyes round about them four. And
when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them:
and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth,
the wheels were lifted up. Whithersoever the spirit was to
go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels
were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living
creature was in the wheels. When those went, these went;
and when those stood, these stood; and when those were
lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over
against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the
wheels. [Ezekiel 1:15-21]
The prophet who has numerous experiences of transport in the
spirit gave us an understanding of specific beings with wheels
which are referred to as the owphanims from the root Hebrew word
owphan meaning to revolve, a wheel. These beings are also part of
the clusters of the spirits that results in the transportation of the
spirit.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon
the wings of the wind. [Psalms 18:10]
The Seraphim are beings that burn with fire while the Cherubim
have wings and the wheels contains the spirit of the creatures.
When these Seraphim and Cherubim join together clustering with
other beings of light, a chariot of fire is formed and transport in the
spirit can be achieved. This chariot of fire can transport you from
one place to another in the twinkle of an eye as seen happen to
Philip the evangelist, Elijah the prophet, John the beloved, Enoch,
Jesus Christ and many more.
158
God still transports people in our day and time. I was watching a
TV broadcast by Sid Roth, “Its supernatural” when he was
interviewing a minister of the gospel that was transported by the
spirit from one country to another. He spoke and said that he was
scheduled to minister in a country and as he went to the airport to
board the plane, there was a prompting within him to go to the
restroom and worship God for a while before he checked into the
flight. As he was worshipping in the restroom suddenly, he was lost
in time and after a while he felt the prompting to open the door of
the restroom. To his amazement as he went out of the restroom, he
realized he was transported spirit, soul and body to the country he
was supposed to fly to. This kind of encounter is rare and requires
the aid of The Holy Spirit because it is impossible for anyone to
cross to another country spirit, soul and body.
Such an encounter will always be a wonder to even the minister
because he cannot accurately explain the details of the encounter
for it is beyond the mind. Most supernatural manifestations of God
can't relate with our carnal mind that is why the first criteria to
walking in the supernatural is to take your mind off your thinking
and do as your spirit prompts and informs you. Most times we have
the fear of, 'what if it doesn't work?' why don't we get comfort from
what if it works!
Most supernatural manifestations will happen in our lives
without a plan. You will not have the time to pre-plan and pre-
meditate it because it is not for your glory. God always does the
159
sign and we do the wondering. I have listened to David Hazog talk

of the supernatural and relates it to an encounter he had of which he
was transported from one location to another spirit, soul and body.
He was supposed to go minister in another state which was
supposed to take him a long hour drive, but his car broke down on
transit. He had to wait and repair the car and this delayed him.
When he finally concluded that he can't make it for the meeting
which was scheduled to start immediately he arrived. He called the
people to inform them that he can't meet up with the timing of the
meeting for the day and demanded that his session be shifted to the
next day. After the repair he entered the car to drive and as he was
worshipping God, he was lost in time and was transported exactly
to the route that connected to the meeting venue. He arrived the
meeting just in time supernaturally to the surprise of all. He spoke
about transport in the spirit and how God achieved it. He said, “If
time is what governs our realm of existence and we require it to
take us to places and locations, then if God can just take away the
time suppose for us to reach a particular destination, then we will
reach it instantly.”
A lady was praying in her room while her friends sat in the
sitting room. The same lady that was praying in the room was seen
passing through the sitting room making her way outside the door
to go pray for someone that was sick in the hospital. She was both
at home and the hospital at the same time. Later, the people that sat
in the sitting room came to her room to tell her that they saw her go
160
out of the door, they all wondered at what has just happen. This
happened when she was praying and interceding for the lady that
was sick in the hospital.
Most spirit transport will come as a surprise and a wonder to
you, because you will always find it hard to account for the details
of the transaction. Just as trance, your senses are fragile and lack
control of yourself. Spirit transport is of that manner; you don't
have control of such an encounter it just happens for the glory of
God. I was transported in the spirit a number of times, most of
those times I don't have a detail of the encounters, although I
sustain much wisdom and revelations.
God can transport you in the spirit to reveal things to you, He
can also transport you in the spirit to talk and speak to another
person giving him counsel and instructions in The Holy Spirit.
There are times when God transported me in the spirit to speak to
people giving them understanding of certain things they lack
knowledge in. The people get to call me and inform me of the
things I talked to them about and I wonder when such a thing
happened of which I lack full knowledge and understanding of.
There are times when as I meditate and pray interceding for
others, I feel a switch in realms and time. Most of those times, The
Lord takes advantage of it to transport you to minister to others.
People get to call and inform you that you came at a particular time
to pray with them and speak certain words to them and you get to
wonder the truth in their confession. You cannot deny the fact that
161
the words that they confessed are words that you are capable of
speaking under God.
Transport reality is an exclusive preserve of The Spirit of God,
and God will never want us to glory in it and that is why the
understanding of how and when it will happen is conceal from us
most times. There are times that as I pray and commune with The
Spirit, I realize myself leave my body and travel around other
realms of existence, sometimes I see things in the glory of heaven.
That makes me wonder and marvel at the creation and supremacy
of God and how He puts creation in order far beyond the carnal
wisdom of man.
There are other common spirit transport experiences we can
relate to in our society. Have you ever seen a minster you know in
your dream praying or talking to you? Or have you ever seen
yourself whether in a dream, vision or trance traveling and moving
from one place to another? Or seen yourself flying on the wings of
angels or just flying from place to place? These encounters are not
always demonic as many were made to believe, some of these
encounters are healthy spiritual prophetic experiences in which
God transports you to see things and pray for regions subduing
them under God.
Many people have encounters of themselves flying at night to
places and locations to pray or attend meetings praying for the sick.
Some see themselves move to people's houses at night to pray and
watch over the houses. You may not have a good understanding of
162
such an encounter because the understanding is not revealed and

given to you by God. Spirit transport reality exists in the spirit
realm under God. Not all people that fly in the spirit at night or day
are witches and wizards, most of those movement in the spirit are
orchestrated by The Holy Spirit under God.
We must learn to discern the prophetic manifestations of The
Holy Spirit, so that we don't limit The Holy Spirit in our mind, but
to the word of God. There was this minister of the gospel that went
to a place to minister and was told that he came and ministered
some time ago in the place. To his surprise, he knew he can't recall
himself coming to that place before, but he can't tell the people that
they lied because he has an understanding that The Holy Spirit can
cause you to be in dual locations at the same time.
I recall a dream I had some years ago where I was being
persecuted and chased to be killed. I found myself flying and
running from one state to another with a speed I know was beyond
my natural capacity. The people got tired of chasing me because I
was moving with a speed they can't comprehend. I recall another
dream I had of myself and two other prophetic friends of mine
being chased and we held hands together flying upon the wings of a
big cherub that took us away to a safe zone.
This experiences may look strange, but they are true in God.
Spirit transport is not what you do at will, it is orchestrated by God
and it mostly occurs in desperate times. You don't have to be a
prophet or a prophetic individual for such an experience to happen
163
in your life, a simple love for God is enough for it to happen. In

desperate times when believers are heavily persecuted to be
slaughtered, God can choose to deliver them by supernaturally
transporting them to another location that is safer. I don't believe
that this is a hard thing for God to do, God can even do more than
that for us.
These are the times of the supernatural and the supernatural will
no longer be a strange place and plane of operation for this century,
but a normal realm of reality. People are embracing the
supernatural and the experiences of the prophetic. Most people
find it easy to believe God in desperate and terrible times when
their minds can't think of a solution out of their dilemma because
doubt is taken away and unbelief is nowhere to be found.
You don't have to seek to be transported in the spirit, all what
God wants from you is to believe in the possibility of that reality
and when it is needed for you to be transported, He will cause it to
function in your life by His sovereignty. I dare you to believe God
the more, as He brings you to the realm of daily supernatural and
prophetic encounters in Him. Amen.
Shalom!!!
164
Chapter Nine
DREAMS AND REVELATION
D reams still remain my best spiritual experience and the

most common means in which God uses to speak to me
on a consistent basis. I consider myself a dreamer! Since
I began to pray in the spirit for many years now, I have been having
numerous dreams on a daily basis, I do have at least one dream per
day. Some days, I have about ten dreams concurrently; I can't help
but dream. This realm of reality is opened for everyone high and
low.
There are many people that do experience this realm of reality, I
believe everyone do have dreams from God. Your dream doesn't
have to be everyday as consistent as mine and others, but surely
God gives you a dream once in a while. I find it very hard to believe
that there is a person who has never had a dream since birth, except
one has not been aware of it. God made it that way so that all
mankind should dream and keep on dreaming.
What makes your life interesting and worth living is not just that
you have a vision, but that your vision is backed up by a dream.
Most people consider dreams the least and simplest means in
which God speaks to them, that may be true, but I believe that
dreams are not common at all. There is nothing common about a
dream like all other means God uses to communicate with us,
165
The Prophetic & Vision DREAMS & REVELATION
dreams are just as complex. It is considered the easiest because our

mind and body is at a state of rest, so it becomes easy for God to
speak and we receive it because he relates with us in the state of
rest.
I spoke of trance and spirit transport as prophetic encounters
that exempts the control of our physical senses. Also in dreams, our
consciousness is beyond our control and our subconscious mind
relates with the heavenly and God speaks to us as deep sleep falls
upon us. God puts His instruction upon our hearts and locks them
up until the time for their unveiling by revelation.
I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my
reins also instruct me in the night seasons. [Psalms 16:7]
God gives people dreams because they can easily comprehend
it. There are people who have never had a vision or heard God
speak to them by any other means as explained in the previous
chapters, but surely most people do have dreams from God and can
easily realize they have a dream. Dreams can come from various
sources for a dream to be prophetic and spiritually communicating
the mind and heart of God, it must come from The Spirit of God
Himself. For your dreams to carry spiritual and prophetic realities
and texture, you must work on your mind, emotion and intellect so
that you can be guided and influenced by the word of God. If you
permit the influences of the world and its lust upon your soul, your
dreams can be influenced by demonic spirit deceiving and leading
you to error.
166
Chapter Nine DREAMS & REVELATION
Your dreams can be influenced and come from your recreated

spirit, soul and from your environment. These three ways can
influence your dream, but only the dreams that come from your
recreated spirit that can keep pace and harmonize with The Holy
Spirit. The Holy Spirit can give you dreams that reveal heaven's
realities for you that when you live in an environment with
vegetation and much forestry, you may likely have dreams related
to forestry and have things to do with that kind and texture of the
environment. In the same manner, when you switch to a mountain
environment, your dreams are likely to change taking the texture of
the new environment.
There is also a “soulish” realm. This is the realm of your feeling,
desires and emotions. The soul also seeks to input things into your
subconscious mind so that you can dream them. When your lust in
the soul ranks higher than your priority in God, then your
perception will be from the soul and its lust. If you have a love for
soccer, baseball, or a damsel, it is possible that as you sleep, your
soul begins to explore those realms releasing the information it can
gather to your subconscious mind so that you can dream them. All
these enticements come from the soulish realm of the flesh and its
lust. This soulish realm has kept a lot of people bound in bondage
and needing help daily.
Certain degree of lust in the flesh can be broken by fasting
because anything you starve for long dies naturally. The lust in the
soul is bound to the flesh which administers its desires. The soul
167
can't lust without the flesh and the flesh needs the body to
administer the desires it receives from the soulish realm. Your life
is somehow dependent upon your soul, flesh and body. You can't
just starve them to death physically, but you can mortify them
through the help of The Spirit of God.
Dreams that come from the spirit are the ones to be reckoned
with. Your recreated spirit is owned by God from the day you
become born again. The Holy Spirit of God that searches the deep
things of God takes from the heart of God, insight and revelations
and put them in our hearts as He comes to dwell within us. The
deposit we receive find placement in our subconscious mind so
that we get it as a dream in the day and the night.
The dreams that comes from The Holy Spirit are always dreams
revealing purpose, heavenly glory and revealing the love of God to
a broken heart such sending His angel to take us on a tour to heaven
or permitting His Holy Spirit of promise to guide our heart into
deep places in Him were we find love and peace. We all need
tranquillity and that can only be found when we are wrapped in the
love and arm of God our Father. A child mostly finds security in the
arms of his father, so also we can only be safe and secured in the
arms and watch of God. When God grants you the access to His
glory, you feel the sense of love, peace and life that can't be
compared with anything in the physical realm. People that have
dreams where they encounter the glory and beauty of God never
want to miss such a place for any earthly reward. God shows us a
168
glimpse of that reality to make us realize the beauty and glory of

His promise of eternal rest.
We are to walk circumspectly redeeming the time until we make
it to that glorious realm where God dwells. This destination is not
for a selected few, but a realm promised to all who walk and remain
in the path of righteousness. Let me try to explain the occurrence of
a dream and how God puts it upon our heart overnight. Job gave us
an accurate knowledge and understanding of the mechanism of
dream as given by God to us all.
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it
not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep
falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; then he
openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction.
[Job 33:14 -16]
Have you cared to ponder on what happens to you when you
sleep? We all know that there is no man born of a woman that does
not sleep, except it is yet explained medical condition. If this is
true, then when you sleep, all voluntary activities surrounding you
on the physical comes to a standstill and another reality is switched
on within you of which you are not aware of its processes, only
your spirit and subconscious mind function at the state you are in
for the time being.
The realm that is open for you at that state is the spirit realm.
Your body enters a comatose state, but your spirit and
subconscious mind is permitted to do business in that realm. Man
is spirit, soul and body, the body does business on the earth, the
169
spirit does business in the spirit realm and the heavens while the
soul with the help of the subconscious mind does business in the
second heaven. Your soul is not supposed to guide you in your tour
and journey to the heavens, if your soul is not recreated, renew and
regenerated it will lead you to realms of darkness and its lust. But a
spirit that is led by The Holy Spirit will grant you direct access to
light and God that dwells in the heavens.
The spirit realm is a realm where spirits relate with each other.
There are demons, angels, thrones, dominion, principalities,
powers, spirit of just men, spirit of wicked men, spiritual
wickedness in heavenly places and other celestial beings that
function and do business in that realm. There is both light and
darkness in the spirit realm and you get attracted to what you
represent: light or darkness. When you possess light and revelation
of the word of God in the natural, then as you sleep, your spirit and
subconscious mind and soul takes you to the realm of light to
encounter more of God, but when you are full of darkness and evil
on earth, as you sleep, you will be guided by your corrupt soul to
the realm of darkness and demons. The spirit realm is like a
meeting place and everyone knows his department; you will be
guided by the life form you carry within you that is, The Holy Spirit
or the nature of darkness and evil.
When we sleep, we enter into another fellowship with spirits in
the heavenly. This is where we receive information and
instructions from The Holy Spirit and His angels. The end result of
170
the meeting comes to us as dreams of the night. When we

experience warfare and contention in dream most times, it is as a
result of a spiritual contention between darkness and our life form
as we ascend exploring the realm of the spirit. We have angels put
in charge to watch and guide us even in the spirit realm that is why
you can see angels in your dreams fighting and helping you war
against the prince of darkness.
We need The Holy Spirit in our dealings and businesses in the
spirit realm because we are strangers in that realm. Our spirit tries
to explore the possibility of the spirit realm until it finds itself in a
foreign territory needing help. Some nightmares are the result of
venturing into forbidden foreign territories in the spirit realm
resulting to attacks from dark princes and cohorts in heavenly
realm on us.
You must be careful of the knowledge you possess on earth
because there are forbidden knowledge that can lunch you into
strange realms in the spirit. People that join an occult fraternity are
given knowledge and understanding of things and places in the
spirit world in which their realm of influence and power exist so
that when they travel to the spirit realm, they encounter their
princes and cohorts that dwell in the second heaven also. Such a
fraternity always come with a price of which your life is demanded
at last.
After long procession in the spirit realm while you sleep, you
return to your body that is in the state of coma, then the
171
subconscious mind is switched to conscious mind and the

information you receive from the encounters will be converted and
transferred to your mind as a dream for your understanding on
earth. Your brain decodes and interprets the encounters to you as
you perceive and remember them to write.
Nevertheless, interpretation of spiritual dreams is not done with
the mind because the mind can be very carnal, except a mind that is
recreated and renewed after the manner of the mind of Christ that
can accurately interpret a dream. Lots of prophetic dreams are
interpreted by The Holy Spirit Himself. There is such a gift that
exists in God called the 'gift of interpretation of dreams,' this was
functional in the life of Daniel in Babylon and Joseph in Egypt. The
gift gave them uncommon wisdom and insight into the truths and
mysteries of God. Do not be quick in interpreting your dreams
using the mind, the interpretation lies with The Holy Spirit that
gave you the dream. The revelation when interpreted causes the
dream to materialize in your life. Dreams not interpreted is of no
good to us. A dream will not really profit you if you don't have the
revelation and interpretation of it. The interpretation carries the life
and power to fulfil the dream. Most of the dreams you have ever
had in the past will be of no effect, until the moment they are
interpreted and the revelation is received in your spirit.
There is a common dilemma in which people do dream and
forget it as they wake up, I am not excluded from this dilemma
because am a victim of forgetting dreams, nevertheless, there are a
172
few things involved in this issue of forgetting dreams. Most times

when a dream is forgotten by me, it is either one of these three
scenarios: I don't need it, it came from my soul or can also be that
the devil stole the dream from me to prevent me from accessing its
revelation that will change my life.
When a dream is of no spiritual effect, maybe a dream that just
came from the influences of your environment, you can forget such
dreams because your spirit sees no relevance in it. When a dream
comes from the soul, it can also be forgotten. This is done by the
benevolence of God trying to protect you from the onslaught of the
soul and its lust that can hurt you. Dreams from the soulish realm
can be very confusing and deceptive if you are not well engrafted
in the word to be able to discern accurately.
There are other times in which dreams are forgotten because the
devil stole it from us. The instructions and commandment of God
that is to change your life can be stolen by the devil. This happens
as soon as you wake up, you just realize that the dream is gone and
taken away from you in a moment unawares. If dreams are also an
instruction and a commandment from God for us to fulfil, then the
devil can choose to steal that instruction and commandment from
us so that we can't fulfil the instructions of God. Dreams that are
relevant and important to you even if forgotten can be remembered
as you pray and commune with God. This has happened to me
several times, I will wake up and realize I have forgotten the dream
I had at night, although I can still perceive the dream within me
173
even as my understanding is unfruitful. As I begin to pray and

focus on my spirit and heart, I began to gain a quick and sharp
understanding of the dream and its revelation. When you pray and
still can't recall the dream, then just forget about it and pray to God
committing yourself to Him knowing fully well that His plans for
you are good and not evil. Claim the dream if you feel peace, but
rebuke it if you feel a sense of fear and unrest. We must always
have this strong mentality that God loves us and wants us to
succeed in life knowing fully well that He will do His best to see
that we are not deceived and hurt by the devil.
The devil may wish and desire to deceive and destroy us, but
God is always willing to direct and build us. We must realize that
God is not a man, and He will always preserve and keep them that
are His. One important thing people always fail to do is the
documentation and writing of the speaking of God to them.
Dreams are not too small and ephemeral to be written. Whatsoever
God speaks is worth writing down. People keep journals for
everything except for the things of God. I consider it a high level of
unseriousness and lack of respect for the things of God.
Vision and dreams have similar approach because they go hand
in hand. You will never see a man with a dream without a vision, so
also you cannot see a man of vision without a dream. What are your
dreams and vision? Dreams and vision are inseparable whether
God gave you a vision or a dream, you must cultivate the habit of
writing and documenting what God communicates to you so that
174
you can draw strength in weary and terrible hard times of

discouragement and disappointment. When you don't write down
what God shows you in a dream, you simply don't believe in its
possibility to manifest. When you write a dream, that alone is
already a faith and believe in the fulfilment of the dream. When you
don't keep a journal or a notepad to write your dreams, you will
forever forget your dreams. Every dream comes from a realm that
has it presences and energy. That presence and energy is still
retained for a while after we wake up from sleep before it gets to
leave. If you can write the dream immediately you wake up, you
will at least have a guideline on what to pin point and pray about.
If you are truly determined to be great in life, then, you must
begin to write your dreams and vision. When you don't care about
writing a dream, that realm of dream can be shut down from you.
God loves it when you are passionate about the things He
communicates to you. When you are that passionate, He continues
to trust you with more of His wisdom and mysteries. I have met
some great leaders and I assure you that there is none of them that
does not have a journal for documentation of dreams, vision and
perceptions of the heart.
When you begin to write and continue to write, knowledge,
understanding and wisdom comes as you study and write. You will
begin to relate words with words by the help of The Spirit of Truth.
I have a lot of journals documenting dreams, vision and encounters
that I have from God for many years ago. I still refer back to those
175
speaking of many years and I am amazed at some of the things that

God told me. When I began to function in dreams, I was
overwhelmed and glad that among the billions of people on the
whole earth, God still sees me fit to come talk with me and that was
enough to make me that serious with Him.
Before I came into that reality in God, there was a time when I
was never serious with God. I came from the lineage of ministers
and as a church boy, I never believed God can talk to me. I was not
thought the possibility of God relating with my type so I decided to
be as far as I can in my heart from God. Walking in all kinds of
darkness and the devil helped me achieved that for a season. My
parents actually tried their best to bring me up in the way of The
Lord, but no matter how hard they tried, the devil kept pushing me
away from God. The devil had his chance and time in my life, I
walked and functioned in darkness for a while, serving the devil
and doing his agenda and propagating darkness upon the earth.
Thank God for salvation, it is truly a priceless gift. I think everyone
needs to ask himself the simple question: Why did Jesus have to
die? If you can't answer that question you will never see the need
for the salvation of your soul and that of others. I do consider
myself the worst sinner not worthy of forgiveness and love of God.
Until I realized that there is not a worst sinner in the sight of God
because He only sees lost souls that are deceived by the devil into
sin and darkness. God reached out His hands of mercy to me and
delivered me from my pit and pool of sin and death. He gave me a
176
new life and a new reason to live a life of purpose. I am not proud of
my former way of life, no one should be proud of his evil past
either, but always do your best to rewrite your evil with good in The
Lord. As it is written, “do not be overcome by evil, but overcome
evil with good deed.”
I do meet people that have done some horrible and terrible
things in the past and now they are in Christ Jesus, but still feel the
pain and guilt of the past. This kind of people need to first forgive
themselves before they ask God to forgive them because God has
already forgiven them the very day they repented of their sin and
iniquity. When you don't forgive yourself, you will feel unworthy
to stand in the presence of God and God can't do anything to help
you because you are the problem not Him. The Devil can use such a
mindset to limit your growth in God. You will feel God is too good
to you and you will consider yourself dirty and unfit to deserve the
love and grace of God. As funny as this may be, there are people
that have kept themselves within this cage for years. You must have
to let go of your past and forgive yourself, then ask The Holy Spirit
to heal your heart and soul of any hurt and pain. God is our father
and He will never condemn them that come to Him, He will always
love and cherish us. Just give Him the chance to love you and you
will never regret such decision.
Dreams come in different forms. There are dreams that are
instructions which you need to act upon or give to someone, but
there are dreams that are warfare and contention. You see yourself
177
fighting with people and demons in the dream and some do see
themselves being pursuit by a wild animal. You can have dreams
that reveal your purpose showing you what will become of you in
the future. Sometimes, you may see your achievements in the
function of time.
For a prayerful individual there is a common pattern of which
his dreams follow overtime. As you get filled with The Holy Spirit,
you are to season of commandment and instructions. God begins to
instruct you on things to do, commandments to obey and live by
and some may not be personal to you. This is the season where you
are giving some assignments to fulfil by God. When you obey and
do as instructed, you earn the trust of God. The more you obey
God, the more He trusts you with His resources to function under
Him. Instruction to go pray for someone, render a help to someone
or even to just go speak words of consolation are given. This is a
test of your obedience and yielding to the speaking of God and
until you learn to trust and obey God, He can't entrust His mandate
upon you to fulfil a calling.
It is in that little obedience that the anointing upon you increases
as you grow more in the knowledge of God. You are equipped as a
faithful servant willing and ready to do the bidding of his master.
God can direct you to go be a part of a mandate and an assignment
which you are to be faithful in until He reveals and unveils your
calling in Him to you. 'Until you serve someone faithfully, others
will not serve you in the vision and assignment God gives you.
178
Service is greatness and service to humanity is divine, especially

when done with a selfless heart and desire.’
We are all called to serve humanity one way or the other under
God, most dreams encountered during this season are mainly on
how to be a good servant in obedience. After dreams of instruction
and commandment into obedience, God begins to give you a new
dream relating to your purpose. God begins to tell and reveal to you
what He will want you to do on earth, people that are called to be
your destiny helpers and partners are revealed to you before divine
relationship is initiated to help you fulfil the purpose. Dreams of
meeting people giving your resources, seeing a city that you will
function in or seeing yourself in a particular office, etc. such
dreams of purpose are clear for you to understand. Nevertheless,
God can still give you instructions on other assignment if He so
wishes. Dreams of warfare can still be encountered when you enter
into a new spiritual realm or a new physical territory because, you
will have to contend with demonic princes of those new realms and
region, but the warfare is with a sure end of victory in God. The
devil does not give up easily even when you are born again and
active in God, he still believes you will soon be weary.
Dreams Rule the World

Dreams of today always become the realities of tomorrow.
Money does not really rule the world as many are made to believe,
but dreams, ideas and vision do rule the world. A man that has a
179
dream and is able to communicate it to others will never die out in

history. Even after his death, his dream continues to live among
others although, some might die before they can birth the dream
and vision.
Myles Munroe of blessed memory said, “the graveyard is the
richest place on earth because there are people who are supposed to
be presidents of nations, company and conglomerate, business
moguls and leaders in all sphere of lives that died without
achieving it” there were so many people that lie in the grave with
uncommon dreams and vision never achieved. Most of the world
challenges and dilemma were solved by a mortal from a wisdom
that always come from a dream of seeing the possibility of
proffering solution.
The people that fulfil their dreams on earth are always
celebrated by others and considered heroes and superstars. All in
God can proffer a solution by becoming a problem solver on the
earth, that alone can put you in a pedestal that many never dared to
attain because of the involvement and processes involved. Do you
have any dream you want to achieve? Or desire to do something
new in life which was never done by anyone? Such a thing if
achieved will set you above others. You don't have to die with that
desire and dream within you, ask The Holy Spirit to guide you
aright by praying it comes to pass in your lifetime.
The Holy Spirit communicates to us in a language that we can
understand. It is obvious that if you don't hear the speaking of God,
180
you will find it difficult to interpret a prophetic dream. When you

are conversant with God speaking to you, it will become normal
for you to hear Him reveal secrets to you. When it comes to dream
interpretation, you must learn to pray about every dream you have
no matter whether it is good or bad. When you pray about a dream
you have, you are reporting it to God and getting God involved in it
so that He can cause the reality of the dream to be fulfilled on earth.
As you pray about your dream, consider the law of first mention:
this law gives us the privilege to follow after the pattern in the
scripture as touching a thing. Our dealings with God is similar to
His dealing with others in times past. If we can see how He relates
with them and how they interpreted things as He communicated it
to them, then we can follow suit. When you have a dream, you
should always go back to the scripture as a reference for your
interpretation. If you see a horn in your dream, by the law of first
mention, you are to go through scriptures to see what a horn means
when first used. The same applies to when you see a crown, water,
wind, and so many other things, they must mean something when it
was used initially and you are to compare it with when it was first
spoken then relate it with the now.
There are key words to be noted in dreams when those words
are interpreted, then the dream is interpreted and the revelation
revealed. In interpreting dreams, the word of God must be your
limit; don't be too quick to interpret dreams above the word of God.
Your interpretation must reveal Christ and be in accordance to the
181
word of God. Whatever our dreams are, they are to bring us closer
to Christ, growing in His knowledge and power.
Always take time to pray about your dreams because
interpretation and revelations of dreams come faster during
prayers. Daniel told the king to give him a night, although at the
very moment he had no understanding of the king's dream, but as
he goes and prays, understanding came speedily. When you have a
dream, the presence that brings the dream to you always remains
for a while with you. The Spirit has the ability to give interpretation
and the needed revelation for you to understand and comprehend
your dream.
When you have an understanding of the peace of God in your
heart, you can be able to know what and how to pray concerning a
dream. When a dream encounter comes with fear and loss of peace
in the heart, it is a sign of danger of which you must call on God to
intervene on your behalf. But when a dream comes with much
peace and joy in The Holy Spirit, then it is a good dream worthy of
praying for its fulfilment in time.
God still gives dream to people for the healing and good of the
world, all leaders who rule the earth in different spheres have
dreams which drive them to success and greatness. If you must rule
on earth, then you must have the dream of what you want to
achieve in God. Every great man continues to dream as long as he
lives! It is time for the believers and ministers of God to begin to
dream big on earth, being called by God is not just enough, you
must have a vision.
182
As a minister and a believer, you must ask yourself what you

want to do to ameliorate the suffering of humanity. Your
ministerial work and commitment is a calling of grace, but you are
also saddled with the responsibility to serve humanity in other
spheres of life in which the common man in the society can benefit
from. Running a church and a ministry is not just enough for an
ambassador of the kingdom of God that seeks to influence the
whole wide world. You must begin to execute projects and
commissions that will reveal the love of God to a dying world. This
can be done in various ways like: building a health care centre,
orphanage home, starting an NGO that are truly not after profit but
after seeing men and women experience the love of Christ Jesus.
There are many people that have never felt loved by anyone before.
Also, there are people that came from broken homes etc. and such a
people need a place they can feel at home. When we create
platforms that help others as such, they are compelled to believe in
the God we profess daily.
It is my utmost prayer that God will find a people that seek to
reveal His love by the act of service to humanity. May your dreams
in God solve national and global issues! Amen.
Shalom!!!

Chapter Ten
ANGELIC ENCOUNTER
AND
VISITATION
E ncounter should be a normal experience for every believer.

As a believer, you should be full of encounters with God's
Spirit and with the heavenly. The more you encounter the
heavenly, the more heavenly minded you become. One of the most
controversial encounters that people debate on daily basis and try
to validate is the encounter with angels. This encounter is not an
exclusively reserved for a group of elites, but an encounter for all in
God. The angelic realm is opened to whosoever God chooses to
relate with in that dimension, whether a believer, unbeliever or
even an idol worshipper.
From the beginning of the scriptures, we see how concurrently
God sent angels to communicate and relate with humans on earth
and this people of old never considered it strange a manifestation
as seen in our day. The subject of the angelic cannot be
overemphasized. I cannot write much about the angelic in this
chapter, nevertheless I will shed a little light for the purpose of this
chapter. If you so desire more light and revelations on the angelic,
then I urge you to study the scriptures on the dealings of God with
humans via the angelic.
The angelic has been misunderstood by many, although many
books have been written to address and give more light on the
207
The Prophetic & Vision ANGELIC ENCOUNTER & VISITATION
subject. Ask The Holy Spirit to lead and direct you on some of the
books to read, so that you will have a clear picture and the
perspective of God regarding the angelic and its manifestation.
The visitation of God has the ability to preserve people. We
have seen God visit people in times past and His visitation was
done by many angelic encounters that resulted in tremendous
manifestations on the earth. The visitation and encounters of the
angelic is an announcement of a new thing on the earth. When God
sends an angel to a man on the earth, He is willing to do something
supernatural that will have great impact overtime.
In the Old Testament, angels appear frequently to men and were
even seen eating with humans face to face. When the angels of The
LORD were going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, they came to
Abraham and fellowshipped with him. Abraham gave them food
and they did eat before they left. As they ate, they spoke to
Abraham about the birth of his son Isaac as a plan in God's purpose
and Abraham pleaded for the saving of his cousin Lot who resided
in the land they were sent to destroy.
Lot on the other hand dwelt between Sodom and Gomorrah and
as the angels came, he welcomed them and took them to his house
to eat and fellowship. It is normal in times past for angels to eat
food with men. Angels are products of light, but by the permission
of God can take a nature of flesh to relate with humans on the earth.
Angels are not disembodied spirits because that nature still resides
within them. On the other hand, demons are disembodied spirits
208
Chapter Ten ANGELIC ENCOUNTER & VISITATION
because the potential and ability to take a body of flesh was taken
away from them when they backslide into darkness.
Angels being products of light sustain the covering weight that
can materialize as flesh nature on earth to be seen by humans, but
that nature is never revealed at any time except if permitted by God
The Father Almighty. Angels don't just invade the earth, they come
by the permission of God to execute a function. The earth realm is
that of body and flesh and for anyone to relate effectively on earth,
the nature of a body and a flesh is needed. If you don't have a body,
you are on earth illegally and can't function until permitted in a
body. No wonder demons seek earnestly for a body to possess so
that they can be legal to function on earth. The angels are not
disembodied as demons are, just that they don't take the nature of
flesh and body unless permitted by God. Angels can take you to the
realm of the spirits when summoned by God since you have a
spirit. Angels are saddled with many responsibilities on earth even
though they are not visible to most humans.
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister
for them who shall be heirs of salvation? [Hebrews 1:14]
You don't have to be a spiritual person to see an angel. God's
angel can be sent to anyone to minister to him in a season. I once
had a friend that was not very spiritual according to human
measure, but he sees angels frequently. Also, there are many
people, young and old that since they were born they naturally see
angels. This people may not even know how to relate and welcome
209
the angels, but they still keep seeing the angels and their
manifestation.
Holy angels are never given the permission to possess humans,
but they can surely influence our lives on earth. You can be
influenced by an angelic presence and even share in their strength
and glory. This may look strange to people, but it is true. When you
constantly have angelic encounters, a time will come when you
begin to share in the strength and glory of the angels. Supernatural
strength and abilities can begin to function in your life and this
sharing in strength and power is also permitted by God.
The children of Israel were fed with “manna” which was the
bread of angels for many years. The power of that manna was seen
manifesting in their lives. They moved and travelled by foot
without getting weary. Their cloths and sandals grew with them
and they never got old. Elijah was given food by an angel and the
angel demanded he eat and eat again. After he had eaten, he was
able to move in the strength of that angel food for 40 days and 40
nights. That was the influence of the food of angels. Angelic
influences can be extraordinary, but God has to permit it to happen.
When God does not permit any influence of the angels on humans,
it will always result to evil and propagation of darkness on the earth
overtime. This occurred in Genesis 6, when the angels of God
came and slept with the daughters of men. This unholy alliance
with each other resulted in the birthing of Nephilim who were
giants that ruled and terrorized the earth at that time. These
210
Nephilim encouraged men into rebellion that God had to intervene

by destroying the whole earth. This may look controversial but it
is the truth.
Giants like Goliath and some recorded in the scriptures were a
products of unholy alliances of humans and spirit beings. People of
old were that rebellious to God's commandment and precepts. In
the house of Lot when the angels came to dine with him, the people
of the land that were perverted into iniquity came and sought to
sleep with the angels, but Lot offered to give his daughters to them
instead of the angels. They never got to sleep with either the angels
or his daughters because the angels intervened. That was how
terrible it was in times past. People abused the privilege God gave
them of relating with angels.
I believe one of the reasons why angels are not that common and
visible in our days is because of the abuse of the privileges given in
time past and how fallen angels now always seek to corrupt every
genuine thing that God seek to initiate on earth. Nevertheless,
angels are still friends to humans as God has put them as
ministering spirit to minister to us heaven's realities. It is true that
God has set His angels to watch over each and every one of us. He
sets His angels in charge over all His creations. Many refer to them
as “guardian angels.” The word 'guardian' means watcher and one
who looks over you. If it is true that God has set His angels to watch
over His creation of which we are a part of and since we are mobile
as humans, then the angels are mobile as well. There are more
211
spirits on earth than there are human beings. It was never an issue
whether angels will not be sufficient for each creation because God
created angels even before humans were given birth to on the earth.
Angels are mostly categorized by the nature of the work they
do, their degree of light and closeness to the throne of God. The
throne of God is the centre of power and light. The closer an angel
is to that throne, the more light and power he carries and sustains.
Angels always radiate and illuminate light because they are
products of light, high ranking angels radiate more degree of light
when you see them and some even cause earthquake as they walk
the earth. Most times, angels and spirits don't touch the ground
when they are not materialized on earth because it is illegal for
them. They surely need a body for that to be possible. They are
usually seen floating on the air.
Angels are ministering spirits sent by God to His creation to
minister to them. There are angels that are referred to as messenger
angels. These angels are sent to deliver messages by God on
consistent basis. Arch angel Gabriel is the chief angel among that
category of angels that God sends to deliver messages to mankind.
There are others that are in charge of warfare and combat, they are
warring angels that fight with darkness and demons when God
permits. Arch angel Michael is the chief among that category.
There are some angels that are in charge of watching over
people, places and things. These are referred to as watchers like the
cherubim. These angels guard territories with spiritual resources
and guard people of value that God is jealous of.
212
There are angels that guard people daily. They are referred to as
guardian angels. These angels are believed to be attached to
everyone on earth whether good or bad. Jesus spoke and said, we
should be careful not to hurt the little ones for their angels are
standing in the presence of God. That is to give us an understanding
that, there are angels that stand by us and report to God our dealings
in life. These are our guardians on earth even if men don't care to
watch over us. There are also ministering angels that come to take
our prayers and petitions to heaven, as it is written in the book of
Revelation that, the angels of The LORD take our prayers and
petitions to heaven in the form of an incense.
There are angels that guard the holiness of God. These are the
seraphim. Also, there are those that guard the glory of God, these
are the cherubim. The seraphim are also referred to as the “burning
ones,” they are angels that are jealous of the things of God. They
have a holy anger to protect the holiness of God. The cherubim are
also referred to as the “zealous ones”, they are very zealous for
God’s kingdom. You don't see such angels until you have a holy
jealousy and zeal for God and His kingdom. The living creatures
are another dimension of the angelic that stands by God. They
contain His glory and light. The wheels are another dimension of
the living creatures upon which God uses to move and travel as a
chariot on earth.
There is so much about the angelic that I cannot cover all, but
surely all you need to know about the angels are written crystal
clear in the scriptures. When you study the dealings of angels with
213
human overtime, you will have an understanding of the pattern of

their dealings. That understanding is necessary so that you can be
able to relate with one when God sees it fit to send him to you on
earth. Angels are not to be feared, they don't hurt human beings.
Most times when you see an angel, it is because they are on an
assignment that involves you directly or indirectly. There is also
ranking even in the realm of the angelic and angels never break
their ranks before God. Not all angels stand in the presence of God,
so also not all are sent by God. Arch Angel Gabriel was in charge of
delivering messages of redemption to mankind. Also, Arch Angel
Michael is always involved in battles and warfare.
The ranking of the angelic is different from the categorization
of the angelic. Angels can be categorized into many categories as I
have shown by their functions and they can be ranked by the degree
of light and how close they are to the throne of God which is the
centre of power and influence. As I study on the subject matter, I
found several categorization and ranking of the angelic that are
worthy of note. This ranking is based on the proximity of the angels
to the throne of God and the power and degree of light they sustain.
The closer an angel is to the throne, the more strength and power
they possess above the others because not all angels stand in the
presence of God. There is a chain of command from the top to the
bottom and God made it so in the very beginning.
214
The Angelic Ranking
§ Living Creatures
§ Wheels (Owphanim)
§ Seraphim
§ Cherubim
§ Arch Angels
§ Angels
§ Spirits
This is the ranking of the angelic that I found and ascertained as

I studied. The living creatures are found to be the closest to the
throne of God. Then, the wheels which is another dimension of the
living creatures, but they take that dimension when God wants to
move from His throne to the earth. The Seraphim and the
Cherubim are found together as one relates to God's glory and the
other God's holiness. Some scholars believe that the Cherubim
should come before the Seraphim and that is also accepted because
they are all referred to as the burning ones and they are very jealous
for the throne of God protecting His glory and holiness.
After the seraphim and the cherubim, it is the arch angels, then
other angels and finally spirits. These spirits are part of the celestial
beings that God created that responds to Him when needed for an
assignment on earth. Lucifer was a special kind of creature. He was
the light bearer and the most anointed among the angels of his time.
He was purified always as he walked up and down the coals of fire
215
in the presence of God. He was both the arch angel of worship and a
cherub that covered the presence of God. He was referred to as the
morning star and admired by the angels of God. Jesus Christ is the
bright morning Star and Jesus is the only Star that is ranked above
Lucifer the morning star.
Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus,
and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest
up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast
been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was
thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the
beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald,
and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy
tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that
thou wast created. {sardius: or, ruby} {beryl: or,
chrysolite} {emerald: or, chrysoprase} Thou art the
anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou
wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up
and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast
perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till
iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy
merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with
violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore, I will cast thee
as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy
thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of
fire. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou
hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I
will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings,
that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy

sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the

iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire
from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring
thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that
behold thee. All they that know thee among the people
shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and
never shalt thou be any more. [Ezekiel 28:11 - 19].
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the

morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations! {O Lucifer: or, O day star} For thou
hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will
exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon
the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I
will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like
the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to
the sides of the pit. They that see thee shall narrowly look
upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that
made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; That
made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities
thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?
{opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory,
every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy
grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of
those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go
down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under
feet. [Isaiah 14:12-19]
217
These scriptures reveal to us how God in times past crowned

Lucifer with so much glory and beauty that he became perfect in
beauty, but he was imperfect in the heart until evil finally was
revealed and found in him. This made him lose the place of the
beloved of God and was cast out from the holy mountain of God,
his glory was taken away from him as well. His sin was the desire
to put himself above the stars of God and be like The Most High
God. The word 'stars' refer to the angelic princes of God created in
heaven and on the earth.
The living creatures rank far from the devil. He was an arch
angel and a cherub but of a special kind. It was recorded that arch
angel Michael and his subordinate fought against Lucifer until he
was cast out from the mountain of God as profane. Evil became his
companion and darkness his dwelling. Lucifer which became the
devil that now dwells in darkness with his subordinate which are
now called fallen angels and demons. They only seek to deceive
and pervert the things of God on earth knowing that they have but a
limited time until they are judged to the lake of fire.
The devil wishes to deceive and pervert creation so that God
cannot help but judge him and also judge His creation including the
man He love. But thank God for redemption and Christ Jesus The
Anointed One who has anointed men and women to bring many
souls from darkness to light. With the help of the angels of God and
a partnership with holy men, the kingdom of heaven will invade
the earth and the devil will be put to shame.
218
Seeing angels and having prophetic experiences can never

automatically make you more spiritual than others that can't see,
nevertheless, it can build some spiritual structures within you to
believe and contain more of God's dimension on earth. There are
many beggarly believers that see angels' often, but seeing angels
have nothing to do with your spiritual maturity. God can choose to
permit you that privilege by grace to access that realm even as a
spiritual babe. Seeing angels will do no good to you if it doesn't add
up to your knowledge and revelation of Christ Jesus. Angels are
sent to release impartations and deliver messages to mankind. If
you only but see and receive neither an impartation or a message,
then your encounter of the angelic is devoid of truth and spiritual
realities and as such, it will not add up to your processes in God.
Angelic encounters are supposed to be supernatural. They may
not be spectacular, but they are not usual. Angels don't just come to
do business in this realm if not sent by God, but people can be
carried away in the amazement of seeing them that they forget the
main reason why they came to them. When you are visited by an
angel, seek to gain an understanding of the purpose of the visitation
than just being amazed that you have seen an angel.
In times past, people encounter angels and their lives take a new
cause, but others also saw angels and asked for an unholy alliance
like the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Your heart posture also
matters when you see an angel. The scripture says we should be
careful not to say in the presence of an angel that we made a
219
mistake because angels are sensitive to the words we speak and

whether it's a joke or not, they take words said seriously.
In Genesis 6, people had the privilege of meeting with angels
and this resulted in more darkness due to unholy fraternity and
partnerships. This act resulted in the perversion of the whole
human race in that time. When an angel is not sent and assigned to
you by God, they will do you no good and even if you seek to relate
with them to partner, you will end up either hurting yourself or
mankind. This is also true about prophetic encounters and
experiences. God has to initiate it then you respond by faith.
I can be designated for an encounter and a visitation on a
particular day by God and you may be in my room and the presence
of God will come to me alone releasing that encounter without you
knowing. You can partake of that encounter if God so wishes, but
prophetic encounters and experiences are personal and given by
God in seasons of demand; you don't manipulate them to happen.
When you try to manipulate prophetic experiences to occur in your
life, you begin to practice witchcraft and wizardry. It is true that
people do have spirit transport by The Holy Spirit, but it is also true
that witches and wizards travel and fly by night and day also; this
they do at will by the agency of demonic spirit and princes. Elijah
was able to call down fire to consume the prophets of Baal by The
Spirit of God, but there are wizard that do that by demonic spirits.
The picture I want to paint is that, the very moment you try to force
yourself into having a spiritual prophetic experiences, you will end
220
up attracting demonic spirit that will open you to certain astral

realms that is counterfeit to the original divine. You don't have to be
that desperate to see angels, if God so desires it for you, you will
one. He will send him to you and you will not have to do anything
to see him. But if you do see angels, then begin to develop a habit of
welcoming them and try to understand the messages they bring and
partake of the impartation they give you.
There are so many angelic encounters and visitations as seen all
through the scriptures, but I will highlight but a few for the benefit
of understanding. Mary the mother of Jesus had an encounter with
arch angel Gabriel, who told her she would be pregnant with a son
by The Holy Spirit and He will become The Messiah that will take
away the sins of the whole wide world. This encounter changed her
life and gave her a new designation as one beloved among women
forever.
Jesus Christ lived a supernatural life till death. His death, burial
and resurrection, His birth was prophesied by the prophets and
spoken by wise men. Wise men saw His star that lead them to the
very place where He was born. His preservation was supernatural
because angels appeared to His father to give him direction on
what to do to prevent the child from being killed by the evil decree
of the king. When He was of age and after the baptism of John the
Baptist, it was recorded that as He fasted and angels came to Him to
strengthen Him.
Abraham the father of faith had numerous angelic encounters
221
which were normal to him. Being able to see angels is not a big deal
for people of faith. The realm of faith is that of the angelic. Jacob
also wrestled with an angel for His blessings which resulted in the
change of his name from Jacob to Israel. Paul the apostle on his
way as they sailed on a ship had an encounter with an angel that
told him that they will encounter a shipwreck, but no life will be
lost and so it came to pass.
Gideon was hiding from the enemies threshing wheat not
knowing that God planned to give him an encounter through an
angel on that day. The angel brought a message that God has made
him a deliverer in that time. While he was hiding, an angel
appeared to him and called him a mighty man of valour which is the
way God sees him. From the speaking of that angel, Gideon's life
took a new cause of destiny and purpose to deliver the people of
God.
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing
on the right side of the altar of incense. And when
Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon
him. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for
thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee
a son, and thou shalt call his name John. [Luke 1:11-13]
Zachariah, a high priest was blameless and walking with God as
was his wife Elizabeth, but she was barren and could not conceive a
son for him. As he ministered to God as it was his time in the
temple, Arch angel Gabriel appeared and encountered him. The
222
angel told him how his wife will give birth to a son who will
announce the coming of The Messiah to the earth. The name of the
son was given by the angel to be John. Zachariah objected and
spoke words of unbelief which resulted in the rescinding of his
ability to speak until the birth of John.
Joshua was a warrior in Israel and a leader after Moses. When
they were set to take over Jericho, he encountered an angel and he
was instructed as to what to do to conquer Jericho. As they
followed the instructions given by the angel, Jericho was
conquered. So also in like manner, people have had tremendous
encounters with angels that have changed the cause of their lives.
Samson's birth was spoken of by an angel and the instruction for
his preservation was given by the same angel. Angels are not to be
sought after by us, but when God wants to use them to minister to
us, we will have an encounter with them. There are times you don't
see them, but the impartation needed is released to you by them at
God's command.
Angels are encountered mostly in the place of prayer. Prayerful
people always have encounter with angels knowing and
unknowingly, angels come to bring answers to prayers. Daniel had
numerous encounters with angels that came to give him answers to
prayers and petitions. Understanding and strength can be given by
an angel, revelation to secrets and things can also be given to us by
angels.
Most ministers and prophetic individuals have this realm open
223
to them which makes them active in the spirit realm. Many years
ago as I began to pray and fast often, I began to have angelic
encounters and visitation. These encounters were strange to me
until I gained understanding of them overtime. Angels come to
take me on a tour of the heavens showing me heavens' realities and
truths. Such encounters open me to the spirit world and increases
my awareness and perception in the spirit.
Angels are beings of light and carry power and as you relate
with them, you share in their strength and power overtime. Angels
can talk to you via your spirit. They can come to deliver spiritual
gifts to you as impartations in co-operate meetings and personal
time of fellowship. While praying during my times of angelic
encounters, I do perceive a presence around me that carry light and
strength.
I do have angelic encounters in dreams and visions of the night.
There are few times when I see angels without being asleep. There
was a season in my life I can recall that God permitted His angels to
come teach me spiritual truths and realities for close to a month. It
was a season I can't forget because the encounter was so
supernatural. Most of the spiritual truth I know and function with
are products of such an encounter of many years with those angels.
These angels come to my room frequently and remain,
communicating with me till morning. They relate with my spirit
and release light, strength and illumination upon me. This
impartation I know was real and alive in me daily, one day as two
224
were standing by me, I was on the phone talking to a friend when I

said am tired of this angelic companionship, immediately the one
by the left stretched out his hand towards me and light hit me and
slain me for a long time. It was like a rebuke to me not to speak such
folly without knowledge concerning them. Angelic presence can
open portals that will grant you access to spirit realities. Those
seasons in my room was like heaven with a different atmosphere.
This manifestation was visible to others who can attest to it well.
Heaven has gates and windows and those portals can be opened
by the angels when they come to visit in a place on earth. When the
portals [gates and windows] of heavens are opened, spiritual
resources are transacted between realms. When Jacob laid to rest
and saw heaven open, he saw angels ascending and descending
upon a ladder, there was an exchange between the two realms. It
was also an invitation for Jacob to come up higher to a realm not
known by too many. The opening of the heavenly is as a result of
the entrance of angelic princes into the earth.
When angels encounter people, they release impartations on
them to fulfil the will of God in their lives. When the portals of
heaven is opened, the blessing of God permeate the earth realm.
When it comes to the angelic and its function, faith and prayer is a
vital tool to hold onto. Angels are perceived by faith during prayers
as they come to minister to us. We must believe that they exist and
are on our side ready to do us good.
God still wants to partner with man on earth. Through the
225
ministry angels, things are made easy when angels are engaged to
help mankind. As God send angels to help and assist us on earth,
we must learn to welcome them by faith and walk with them to
fulfil the will of God. You welcome them by believing in them and
the message they came to profess, giving them an open heart to
speak that which God sent them to communicate. You are never to
worship an angel because they are also part of the creation of God,
but they need to be believed by humans.
I pray that as God sends angels to come help you in fulfilling His
will and purpose on earth, you will be able to welcome them and
walk with them. You will not be deceived by the devil into darkness
and witchcraft because your love for God is your security and it
will prevail against all craftiness of the devil. May God watch His
word over your life to fulfil it. Amen.
Shalom!!!
226
CLOSING REMARK
I n conclusion, I will say a lot depends upon encounters; your

dealings with God is mostly wrapped in an encounter with
Him on a daily basis. Whether you like it or not, you cannot
achieve anything in God unless you have a life changing encounter
with Him. People seem to achieve nothing until they get to
encounter God. Common and normal people are changed
drastically the day they encounter God.
Encountering God is the best thing that can ever happen to
anybody. A man that has not yet encountered God has never started
living and the life he lives now is just but a façade. God is the only
source of life for living! God is the source of the life that
illuminates the path of everything living on earth. If you must be
relevant on earth, then your path must be illuminated by God.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see
light. [Psalms 36:9]
All things were made by him; and without him was not
anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life
was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and
the darkness comprehended it not [John 1:3 -5]
227
The Prophetic & Vision CLOSING REMARK
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light and
God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the
light from the darkness. [Genesis 1:3 -4]
These scriptures give us an understanding and reveals to us that
Jesus Christ is that same light that lights up the whole wide world
under God. That light of which we are and contained in is the zoe
life of Christ Jesus. We are all from that same life and we must
relate with it daily to reveal to us who we truly are. It is impossible
for anyone to go to heaven and have eternal life without the person
of Jesus Christ. The life of God that is eternal is put in Jesus Christ
and He distributes it to us by faith when He came and died on the
earth.
When you believe in His death, burial and resurrection, you
partake of that life and become one with Him. This is a spiritual
truth and your mind cannot understand it, save yourself the agony
of calculating it with your mind. The same way you cannot imagine
with your mind the possibility of the trinity being three and yet one,
so also is the mystery of the incarnation of Jesus Christ who is the
word of God who became flesh to live with us here on earth. He
died and resurrected to become alive both in heaven and on earth,
dwelling within us as The Holy Spirit creates a connection between
us and the father.
Some spiritual truths and realities cannot be calculated with the
mind; they are to be believed by the help of The Holy Spirit. The
mind is so finite to comprehend such a truth in God. God is not a
228
man and He cannot be explained by human wisdom. What has the

capacity to explain God is His word and what can only reveal Him
is Jesus Christ The Son of God. Jesus Christ is the word of God that
exists in the heaven, but now on earth as The Holy Spirit. God
wants to be comprehended by man and He gave His word of truth
by sending His only Son who has the ability to reveal Him. The Son
came and as many that believe in Him, He gave them the ability to
see The Father and come out of darkness, but as many that fail to
believe will continually dwell in darkness and ignorance. These
people are doomed for eternal damnation and indignation.
We all have equal rights in God through Christ Jesus, but we
need faith to relate with God because without faith, it is impossible
to please God since God is Spirit and for you to relate with His
Spirit you must first believe that His Spirit exists and is willing to
relate and reward your walking with Him overtime. Without that
understanding, you cannot see or perceive His Spirit who can only
be seen through the eye of faith. You need faith to walk with God on
a daily basis not your mind.
The spiritual realm is not the realm that is governed by our
natural senses, we need to use the eye of faith to see and the hearing
of faith to hear as well as the intuition and perception of faith to feel
the movement of God. Abraham the first man of faith believed God
that he had not seen, but have only spoken to him in his heart and
that was counted to him as righteousness. God saw his obedience
and taught him His precepts knowing fully well that he will teach
his descendants to follow suit. Your obedience and believe in God
229
may be accounted to you as righteousness and that little obedience

in love has its own exclusive reward.
Our life is basically governed by faith. I once asked, what is the
confidence we have that when we sleep at night we will wake up
the next morning? Well, the answer given was that of faith. Every
day we live and walk by faith. It is obvious that even he who has no
believe in faith still walks and live by faith of what tomorrow
holds. The basic foundation of all we do in life must be based on
faith in Christ Jesus, and until your faith in Christ Jesus is sure and
steadfast, then your eternal life is yet to be determined.
We all are like people on pilgrimage on the earth and a day
comes when we have to leave this realm of reality to anther that
exists in God. Don't you realize that life doesn't really begin when
you are born, but it has a root in eternal past before it found
expression on the earth? We came from a different realm of
existence and are given a time to function on the earth to fulfil a
divine purpose and mandate. Children are not just a product of a
sperm and an egg from parents, but a life given in disguise through
a physical biological process.
We are here on an assignment and we must do our best to
accomplish it. We came from a divine realm, but are given the right
of choice in the natural which affects our whole life. We need to
make daily decisions that brings heaven on earth. Our choices also
have penalties that accompany them. Jesus is the door and if you
must exist in this realm, you will have to do that through Christ
230
Jesus Himself. We are given by God to our parent as a blessing, but

He expects our parent to be a blessing to us by training us in the
ways of The Lord.
We are to fulfil purpose, then return through Christ Jesus to our
eternal place of rest. It is an inevitable thing that destruction await
those that refuses to become one with Christ Jesus at the close of
the age. If you are born into this realm you must have a day that you
will surely die, there is no man born of a woman that will live
forever only eternity has no end. We were in God holy before the
earth was created and God expects us to remain as such. When
Christ Jesus will come, those that are found worthy shall be clothed
to share in the glory eternal.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and
without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us
unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
a c c o rd i n g t o t h e g o o d p l e a s u re o f h i s w i l l .
[Ephesians 1:4-5]
God has a better understanding of who we are in Him in times
past and He also knows what we will be in time to come that is why
it is so paramount that we stick to Him so that He can reveal to us
every facet of our life on earth. We were holy even before the
foundation of the earth and we were with God as spiritual beings
and entities until He chose to send us to function on earth. God
knows who we are, we are the ones that are yet to have that proper
understanding of who we are in the light of Christ Jesus.
231
Your life will never take the path of purpose if you are not born
again in Christ Jesus. If you so desire to walk in purpose, then ask
The Lord Jesus to be your personal Lord and Saviour before you
begin to dare anything in faith. Your act of faith will have no texture
and relevance until you get born again by confessing your sins and
believing in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sin so that
you can become a new creature saved and washed in His blood
forever. I believe that The Holy Spirit will be with you and guide
you into the path of righteousness. As you continue in the path of
righteousness, not only will the prophetic and visions be open for
you, but you will be among the overcomers that will welcome the
bride on the last day. It will be a surprise to many how they will
never miss hell because the day they fall in love with heaven they
will suddenly realize that they can't miss hell, it will be
automatically updated for them. There still remains a sure way
which is salvation through Christ Jesus. I urge you all to remain in
faith and continually check yourself to see if you are still in faith.
God has promised us a place of rest and sent us Christ Jesus to
reassure us that there is such a place in heaven for eternal rest. We
all need to rest one day and where God dwells is the best place to
rest forever. What is prophecy without eternal life? We don't have
to deceive ourselves and be a cast away on the last day, let our walk
with God be genuine and worthy of eternal rest. Even if you were
once strong in God and backslidden, you can return to God because
the end determines the result in our walk with God. Always return
232
to God in repentance asking Him to forgive you and love you again
for God's mercy will always speak for us as far as Jesus Christ is
concerned.
It is very painful that there are many ministers that once
converted many into Christ and proclaimed this gospel of peace are
living heavily in sin now, maybe they were deceived by the devil
and were tempted into darkness. God is no respecter of persons and
can't take side with iniquity and evil, if they don't repent, they will
receive the same verdict of a sinner. It is written:
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened,
and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made
partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good
word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they
shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance;
seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh,
and put him to an open shame. [Hebrews 6:4-6]
Still on this, I still believe that God is good and not wicked to
forget our labour of love. His sole purpose was never to condemn
them that walk with Him and were once called sons. God will
always want us to repent when we are wrong because His grace is
always sufficient for us and strength will be supplied to us in times
of weakness. We only need to ask for His mercy and grace and He
will reach out to us as the prodigal father reached out to His son in
love again.
If you have given your life to Christ, but still live heavily in sin,
then, you can still say the sinner's prayer asking for mercy and
233
grace from the one true source of eternal life, Christ Jesus. When
you ask with an open sincere heart and spirit, God will come to heal
you. You can say this prayer from your heart by faith believing in
the ability and capacity of Christ Jesus to save you again.
Almighty God, Author of life, giver of every good gift, I
come to you in faith and ask of your mercy over my life.
I ask that the blood of Jesus Christ your holy Son wash
me from my sins and make me whole again. Release
your grace upon me and grant that I never return back
to my sins. I repent of all my wrongdoings and I vow to
serve you for the rest of my life. So help me God. Amen.
If you have said this simple prayer, I believe God has forgiven
you and it is now left for you to ask The Holy Spirit to infill you
again. Take time to study and pray often asking for grace, mercy
and favour. It is my desire that we all will be present as overcomers
on the last day. As you study and pray, may God reveal to you His
mysteries and let the prophetic realm of His manifestation become
a reality in your life.
I pray that the light of God will permeate into your spirit and
cause strange supernatural manifestation of The Holy Spirit to
occur in your life and you will become an agent of change and
transformation in your society in His time. Amen.
Shalom!!!
