What the year 2012 will be for you


 The post below is an entry in my electronic journal at the onset of this year. Even if it is a bit late for me to post this now, I believe some of you who may read this may still receive the blessing that year 2012 brings. God bless you as you read what I feel (from just reading the Word of God) year 2012 willl be.

It has been my habit since 2007 to ask God as to what each year brings. I trusted that if I seek God for His will He will be faithful to reveal it to me. So as I was approaching year 2012,  I sought the Lord. Below is what I believe year 2012 is going to be.

Year 2012 will be a year of healing among the people of God both physically and spiritually.  Biblically the number 12 points to the congregation of God, hence there are 12 sons of Jacob, 12 apostles and the stars of the woman mentioned in Revelation 12 points to the congregation of the Lord. Just as Jesus raised a 12 year old damsel from the dead, year 2012 will also see to the healing of the church from deadness. As Jesus healed a woman which had an issue of blood for 12 years so shall God heal many sicknesses this year amongst His people.  Implicit in the healing of the woman with issue of blood for 12 years is the truth that year 2012 will also be time of healing from uncleanness and unrighteousness. God will heal so people may know He is God.  

Year 2012 is also a year of shaking of world governments so God’s authority and truth may prevail.  All these shaking of the nations are to come to past because eventually they will usher to the worship of the One and Only Ruler and Righteous King. 

Year 2012 will also saw to many new beginnings even structural foundation of organizations that God will raise or freshly pour His Spirit upon. It is a year when the Spirit’s anointing will be great among those who God has chosen. Those who God has chosen to lead govern wisely and righteously.

2012 is also a year of God’s provision of deliverance for His people. Just as God raised 12 Judges in Israel to use them to bring deliverance to Israel during a difficult time under the hands of the enemies, so shall God raised modern day judges to bring deliverance to His people.

Finally year 2012 will also be a year of great perseverance of the Church due to God’s faithfulness. Just as 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes are saved during the Great tribulation, so shall God’s people experience a strengthening in their inner men. Thus in the midst of difficulty and adversity, the people of God shall persevere and overcome.

Dwell in my presence "Part 4"

After teaching two 2-hour classes today, I have to admit I feel a bit exhausted. The thought of heading to the  apartment where I stay while here in Oakland to stretch out on the sofa and put up my tired feet, perhaps snack on juicy and yummy strawberries in the refrigerator is very tempting. But I haven't had the chance to have quiet time today. So hereI am sitting in the quietness of the library blogging...checking out more meaning of the word dwell and wondering what new thing God has in store for me....Then there it was...staring right in front of me....the Hebrew word for dwell "shakan" also means to cause to or make to dwell, or to cause to have habitation, or to cause to lay, or to cause to rest. The phrase "to cause" implies a decision to exhort myself to "dwell in God's presence". It involves the process of allowing my mind to refocus from my sense of weariness to God. Psalm 42:1 comes to mind "As the deer pants for the streams of w...

Where is the presence of God when...?

Just recently a sister of mine miscarried. She and her husband has waited 6 yrs for this baby. The day my sister tested positively pregnant, all of us in the family shouted in jubilation. Some of us even cried in happiness. Things were great until one day disaster struck...she started spotting...then the spotting turned to bleeding....then the final blow....the gynecologists announced...the baby has no heartbeat. My sister called me right away and we frantically called on the name of the Lord asking Him for a miracle. WE reasoned, if He can raise Lazarus who was 3 days old dead then surely it is a small thing for Him to bring the baby in my sister's womb alive...As I write this my family is still grieving with my sister and brother-in-law. One would ask where was God in all these? What happened to His presence. Did His presence leave us? Isn't He the Omnipresent God, the God who is present everywhere? As I struggled to find answers, the Lord started opening my eyes to His goodn...

God's Most Valuable Slave

2 Corinthians 4:1   1 Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry , we do not lose heart. Another aspect of this ministry Paul talks about is found in 2 Corinthians 2 :14-17:   14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. 15 For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? 17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God. In an earlier blog I shared about the implication of the passage that says God "always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him". The focus of my sharing was on the seriousness of our ministry a...
