A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – December 2022 (Dose of Prophecy)

Greetings in the name of Jesus the Name above all names!

In our fifth portal, we covered speaking in Tongues. We continue on the topic of portals. Our sixth in the series ‘Portal Time Traveller,’ will be the Portal – ‘RUDDER.’

The Tongue is like the Rudder of a ship.

In James 3:4-5, the Bible compares the tongue to the rudder of a ship.

“Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue…”

Even when a massive ship is facing strong winds and massive waves, the direction the rudder is positioned holds more power over the ship than the winds.

The tongue is like the rudder of a ship powerful enough to steer a person’s life amidst fierce trials, tribulations, circumstances and situations.  When it seems as though all circumstances are against you, your tongue holds more power than the circumstances. You can position your words in the way you want to go, just like a rudder does. In fact, even the power of life and death are in the tongue

God is Spirit. He designed humans, made them in His likeness and image to be speaking spirits like Him. As He is, so are we in this world., to be His spokesman. We use our tongue in the same way God does- to set things in motion. 

God said – Let there be light and there was light. Genesis 1:3

While reflecting on Genesis 1, we understand that God created the universe and everything in it including the earth, with His words. He spoke forth and saw it come to pass.

Isaiah 55:11. “…so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” 

We can use our words the same way. Even though you may not like your past, you can’t change who you’ve been, but you can choose who you want to be with the words of your mouth. Identity is a decision, not a destiny. You can change your world by changing your words.

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” 

The tongue has the power of life and death. Our words are very powerful. 

They can either speak life, or death. Our words, can build others up, or tear them down.

Your tongue can steer you in the direction you want to go.

Slowly but surely as you begin to speak of where you want to go, you will get there. This is the way you are designed to function. This is how faith works.

Believe it in your heart, and confess it with your mouth. Mark 11:23-24. Romans 10:9-10.

Do you want to change the direction where your life is headed? Change the words you speak! God has given us the ability to steer our life in the direction we want it to go by using our tongues.

Words can make us or break us. They heal us or make us sick. According to the Bible, words destroy us or make our lives full of life, happiness and health. The words we spoke yesterday – make life what it is today. What you say is what you get. You can change your world by changing your words! Mark 11:23.

You may read my book “Change Your World” specially designed with power-packed dynamic words to program your potential for success on this website.  Realise how important this portal is -the Rudder

It is written: “I believed; therefore, I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 2 Corinthians 4:13

If you want to change your circumstances, change the words coming out of your mouth. If you want to see good days, learn to choose carefully the words you speak that are in line with your aspirations. 

But you also need to exert caution! This is a principle that can work for or against you. If you constantly say things like I’m always broke, sick and disgusted with life, nothing good happens to me, and so on, then you are likely to see these things become a reality in your life. 

Who is the man who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit. Psalm 34: 12-13

The book of James also compares the tongue to a bit in a horse’s mouth. 

For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths, so that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. James 3:2-3

This verse is saying that just as a horse is bridled by the bit in the mouth allowing the rider to control its direction, so can our entire bodies be bridled by our tongue. We will go in the direction our words go. 

Mark 11:23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”

Words have power to affect our bodies, emotions, and actions. Our bodies are designed to respond to the words of our mouth. The mountain symbolizes our problem, be it sickness, lack, confusion, contrary circumstances or whatever we want removed. We are to speak to it. Everything responds to faith-filled words. 

Most people speak to God about their problems. This verse is saying we need to speak directly to our problems. Jesus is our model. As He is, so are we in this world. He spoke to bodies, sickness, trees, winds, demons, and even to dead bodies and they came alive! So must we.

Psalm 107:2. “Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy.” 

We should say things like –  In the Name of Jesus – “Sickness, leave my body” “Body, you be strong and healthy.”  We are supposed to use the authority Jesus gave us through our words and command the problem to be removed. And when you take the place of a Commander, blessings shall come upon you and others as well.

You create an atmosphere of blessing or cursing with your words. Christians should control their tongues. 

But is that possible?

No one can conquer their words on their own. But through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can! Without being filled with the Holy Spirit, tongues are evil and full of poison. James3:8

Jesus taught us the power of our words. He said that people who believe that the words they say will come to pass, without doubting in their hearts, will have what they say Mark 11:23.  

“…you have been trapped by what you said, ensnared by the words of your mouth. Proverbs 6:2

When it comes time to rebuke sickness or command healing in some people, their bodies don’t respond. Why?  Because they are constantly saying wrong words, not understanding the power of words. So they train their bodies not to believe or take their words seriously. However, there is hope. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can train our tongue to only speak words of truth and life. Then, we will begin to see our lives go in the direction of our words. 

“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7.

When you think wrong, you believe wrong. When you believe wrong, you speak and act wrong. Wrong thinking causes you to make wrong choices. Deliverance from these things only comes from the knowledge of God and His Word.

Psalm 141:3 “Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips” – 

Prophets and those who are prophetically oriented especially should ask for wisdom and take heed to this scripture.

We can begin to control our tongues by speaking the word of God aloud. This will in turn train our heart and tongue to speak truth, even in opposing circumstances. We need to start thinking about the words we speak. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to help us speak only words that line up with His truth. Then you will begin to see the promises of God become a reality in your life!

Proverbs 4:23. “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” 

And your heart connects with your mouth, the tongue, the portal – Rudder of life. For what you say is what you get.

Hope you have been blessed with the commentary of the Portal – The Rudder.

Much love in Jesus!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – November 2022 (Dose of Prophecy)

Greetings in the name of Jesus the matchless One!

We have covered so far four portals in our series ‘Portal Time Traveller.’ The last one we covered was the ‘Bread of Life’ – portal. 

We now deal with the fifth – ‘Tongues’

Speaking in Tongues is the gateway, or portal into the supernatural, the door into all the other spiritual gifts Mark 16:17-18.

I have found in my own life that the more I speak in tongues, the more I pray and worship, operate in prophetic – seer realm with spiritual antennas opened into the invisible and gifts of the Spirit manifested.

What precedes that of course is my desire for spiritual gifts and earnestly coveting the best gifts (1 Corinthians 12:31, 14:1), in order to be more effective in my Christian walk and be a blessing to all those around and fulfil my call and commission for the Glory of God.

This began in my life years ago through the door of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit when I began to receive spiritual gifts God promised those who believe His Word. Those who haven’t been baptized in the Holy Spirit should do so.

God has made available to each one of His children a supernatural way of communicating with Him through the gift of tongues, to supernaturally build ourselves spiritually. When you pray in tongues, you are praying God’s will, directly to Him. It gets your mind out of the way so your spirit can commune with the Father. When you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit Himself teaches you all things.

1 Corinthians 14:39 “Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues.

Tongues is a face to face encounter with God – your access to His Glory.

1 Corinthians 14:2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

This is why the devil has fought speaking in tongues more than anything else.

To cite a few cases

Apostle Paul was responsible for writing most of the New Testament!

He said: “I thank my God I speak with tongues more than ye all.” (1 Corinthians 14:18)

John G. Lake said: “Speaking in tongues has been the making of my entire ministry.”

Kenneth Hagin had the divine ability to pray in the Spirit for hours. It was reported that he has prayed in Tongues for few days without stopping – praying and Interpreting Tongues.

Smith Wigglesworth who had a powerful ministry along with healings and raising the dead said: “It is a wonderful thing to pray in the Spirit and to sing in the Spirit, praying in Tongues and singing in Tongues as the Spirit of God gives you utterance. God has ordained this speaking in an unknown Tongue unto Himself as a wonderful, supernatural means of communication in the Spirit.”

There are many good reasons for praying in the spirit:

  • Supernatural Praise (1Corinthians 14:15-17)
  • Supernatural Power (Luke 24:49; Acts1:8)
  • Supernatural Edification (1 Corinthians 14:4)
  • Supernatural Prayer (Romans 8:26-27)
  • Supernatural Refreshing (Isaiah 28:11-12, John 7:37-39)
  • Supernatural Overcoming (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 Jude 20; Galatians 5:16)
  • Holy Spirit Gifts Channelling (1 Corinthians 12:7-11) and much more

Tongues…a portal to the Presence and Power of God.


Giving yourself to long stretch of time praying in tongues will add to the weight of glory that you can carry and impart in people’s lives

Giving yourself to long stretch of time praying in tongues will be a vital key to tapping the miraculous and moving in the glory of God.

Words spoken in tongues by your tongue will determine the direction of your life, just like the rudder of a ship determines the direction a ship will go – if you continue in that direction, you will arrive there.

Use this great portal by praying in Tongues for long stretches of time, many hours daily and watch the miraculous unfold and God use you to perform His Will in your life

Praise the Lord!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – October 2022 (Dose of Prophecy)

Greetings in the name of Jesus the matchless One!

We have covered so far three portals in our series ‘Portal Time Traveller’– namely:

Thanksgiving and PraiseJesus the Door – OpenerForever You

We now deal with the fourth – Bread 0f Life

A Portal is a doorway or entrance point – a spherical opening of light thoroughly safeguarded where angels and heavenly beings come and go without demonic interference.  God designed portals to begin in the third heaven, continue in the second heaven, and open up on the earth.

God provided manna when the Israelites needed food. He opened an untampered portal in heaven and manna came through it. None were weak or sick because they ate angel’s food prepared in heaven.

Jesus said of himself- “This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” John 6:58

God has been waiting to release supernatural miracles, divine healings and deliverances through Communion. We could come into the service in one condition and leave changed!

But sadly we have often reduced Communion to a religious tradition or ritual squeezed into church service schedule.

We distribute the elements (wafer and juice), quickly read a relevant scripture, pray, consume the elements and then move on to the next part of the service.

On the road to Emmaus (Luke 24), after Jesus rose from the dead two disciples walked with Him but did not recognize Him. He explained to them the prophecies of the Old Testament fulfilled in His death and resurrection. When they arrived at Emmaus that evening, the two disciples stopped to eat, and asked Jesus to join them. He did, and as He broke the bread and blessed the meal, “their eyes were opened,” they recognized Him and He vanished. Two powerful harmonious occurrences – the breaking of the Word and the breaking of bread. It would be good to ruminate on the two incidences that ushered the manifest presence of the Lord.

“Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked?” they said to each other. Their physical eyes were blinded to the identity of Jesus, but their eyes of faith were opened as Jesus opened the Scriptures to them. (People have revelatory experiences, opening of portals, through reciting and meditating on scriptures).

At the table, He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Their eyes were then opened, and they recognized him. They quickly returned at once to Jerusalem, found the Eleven and those with them, proclaiming that the Lord had risen.

Luke 24 could be seen as a model of Life’s journey with Jesus with many of us in our daily walk with Him as our resurrected Lord and Saviour. He opens our eyes, to reveal His manifest presence at the breaking of bread and breaking of the Word which often comes simultaneously.

 “Whoever eats My flesh, and drinks My blood, has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” John 6:54

 “…without Me you can do nothing…” John 15:5-6

“For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Those that are born again are connected to the very life – source God Himself.

Communion is not only a reminder that we have been washed by the blood of the Lamb but also that we are receiving God’s abundant life not from this world which sustains our spirit man, making it possible to do what Christ did and the greater works.

When Christ lives in you, He comes with a portal. To access it you need revelation. It begins with awareness, then activation power, and glory. 

While partaking of the elements and reflecting on relevant scriptures and episodes of His death, burial, resurrection, by revelation, the whole scene could be re-enacted going back in time through the ‘Bread 0f Life’ – portal where Jesus, makes His presence recognizable – debarring it from becoming a religious tradition or ritual.  

At the time of partaking of the elements we need to pray for revelation that the Lord would help us to be conscious of how His body was broken to bring us healing, health and wholeness, His blood shed to forgive our sins, to experience His love for His people, a release of the inheritance of the righteous that includes preservation, provision, healing, health and wholeness. We can come boldly into His presence and thank Him for His sin, disease, poverty-free life, in His Precious Blood.

Not only at church services but individuals at home should as a daily practice have Communion.

What a wonderful thing to have the abiding presence of the Lord through the portal of the Bread of Life connected with the breaking of bread and the Word!

Much love in Jesus, the King of Glory!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – September 2022 (Dose of Prophecy)

Greetings in the matchless Name of Jesus – the Lion of Judah!

We have learnt that Portals are pathways that connect the Heavenly realm and the earthly realms.

We reflected on the portals ‘Thanksgiving and Praise’ and ‘Jesus The Door Opener.’ We mentioned some of the inter-connects to stay connected with Jesus were Assembling, Service and Prayer.

The next portal to consider is ‘The Forever You’ – Portal.

I believe God made us portals individually, not just for our earthly 3 dimensional realm, but for other dimensions beyond our earthly existence ad-infinitum. It is even more than just a two-way communication link that truly exists, it is a belief system that accommodates not only a visitation from the living God in the believer’s life but also a habitation and dialogue.

In the epistle of John there are several chapters that refer to a believer abiding in Christ and Christ abiding in the believer. Thus the believer becomes an open portal for Christ to manifest Himself on earth. At the same time the believer may experience being seated in heavenly places with Christ (Ephesians 2: 6).

Let us review a few of the portals of heaven in the Bible – this could help in part demystify the mystery surrounding the topic of portals. (The author has himself experienced some of these).

A portal is a doorway or entry point – a spherical opening of light that offers divine protection through or by which angels and heavenly beings come and go without demonic interference. God designed portals to originate in the third heaven, travel through the second heaven, and open upon the earth.

Psalm 78 :23-24 “Yet he gave a command to the skies above and opened the doors of the heavens; He rained down manna for the people to eat, He gave them the grain of heaven.”

When the Israelites needed food, God provided ‘manna.’

Demons couldn’t stop it because God opened an un-tampered portal in heaven and manna came through it.

Could this be why it is referred to as angel’s food and that no one was sick or weak for 40 years because they ate manna – food prepared for them in heaven? –Yes it certainly seems so. God opened the portal in heaven and delivered food to the Israelites through it.

(Genesis 28: 10-18) Jacob on his way to Haran, one evening, laid his head on a stone and slept. He had a dream. He saw an open portal in heaven with a staircase with angels ascending and descending upon it. Yes, angels of the Lord walk with us, ascending with our prayer and descending with the answer. 

Jacob’s heart’s desire was being transferred to heaven. God was standing at the ‘doorway’, above the stairs guarding the portal. God communicated with him. Jacob woke up, he said: ‘Surely, the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it’ (Genesis 28: 16).

He called the place ‘the gate of heaven.’ He didn’t want to forget where the open portal was. It is, possible that the Presence of God is where we are and we are not able to perceive it? When we have an encounter we should not forget the location.

Open portals exist in the New Testament too. 

A door (portal) in heaven was opened for John (Revelation 4:1) to have a revelation of the end times; the same type of portal traversed by angels and Jesus himself.

John was told to ‘come up here’ how was he to do that?

John 1:51 Jesus told Nathanael: “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man”

Previously, in the experience of Jacob, angels were descending upon the earth.

With Jesus, they were descending upon Jesus! That’s the difference. Jesus brought with Him a new dimension of portals no longer limited to a location, He moved with an open portal. Wherever He walked, during His time on earth, heavens were opened because the portal was on Him.

Although Portals are openings in heaven that reach earth at specific locations in order for there to be angelic activity. But with Jesus, it was not targeted at a location anymore, but rather on a Person. Jesus came to replicate Himself, so that we could be like Him. The purpose of Jesus’ coming is for us to carry an open portal wherever we go. When we arrive at a place the atmosphere changes because we are carrying an open portal.

In Jordan, the Bible says that the moment Jesus came up out of the water after being baptized ‘heaven was opened’ (Matthew 3:16) because Jesus was obedient. Jesus went through a baptism of repentance though not a sinner who needed to repent. However, His Father told Him to do it, and He obeyed.

The purpose of Jesus’ coming is for us to carry an open portal wherever we go. You can be an open portal through unity (Acts 2:1), Prayer (Acts 4:31), Obedience (Hebrews 5:8). Remember, it may not be pleasant to obey, but do it anyway. Be encouraged knowing that every time you are in obedience, exaltation results. Jesus did it – He said: ‘My Father…not as I will, but…Your will be done Matthew 26:39-42).’ He didn’t like what He was being asked to do, to die on the Cross, but He obeyed (Philippians 2:8), because His Father said so, He did it. Because of this, God highly exalted Jesus and gave Him a name above all names.

Acts 2:1-3 “When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them”. 

The portal was established upon the disciples’ heads that day. Portals are no longer restricted to specific locations, but now, we can be carriers of heavenly portals.

How can we access the realms of heaven to change our earthly environments – create heavenly habitations in and around us? –  by keeping our temple holy, worshipping the Lord, praying, even doing spiritual discipline like fasting, reading and meditating on the word of God, silence, solitude, mission, – these prepare us to receive messages from heaven

I believe many are going to experience open portals from heaven here on the earth …The bridegroom Jesus Christ is coming soon. We the Bride are being prepared to meet Him. You are forever a portal!

Much love in Jesus, the King of Glory!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – August 2022 (Dose of Prophecy)

Greetings in the matchless Name of JESUS – THE DOOR OPENER!

The last time we dealt with a few basics on the portal as entrances into God’s presence, with an underlying objective to fulfil His plans and purposes through a release of His power and presence, a release of much angelic activity, ministering angels at work, while preparing His Bride for His soon coming return.  

Pathways that connect the Heavenly realm and the earthly realm are portals. The portal we considered was ‘Thanksgiving and Praise’ – which is still under construction worldwide in the lives of God’s people but is gaining momentum. Praise is God’s habitation and should be ours as well – a temple of praise. We know that when we worship the Lord we open up environments that become heavenly portals when heaven will be released

Isaiah 54:2 “Enlarge the place of thy tent…stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations…”   

1 Peter 2:9. “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”

Hope we have been regularly and continually entering the Portal of Thanksgiving and Praise and witnessing a super-abound.

Let us continue to stretch forth the curtain of the Heavenly–Earth connection, bit by bit. This is a clarion call to the Body of Christ to open portals. But how can we unless and until we delve into our next portal – “JESUS THE DOOR OPENER”

God and Adam walked together in the Garden. Adam was expelled from God’s presence and excluded from the glory after he transgressed. In the aftermath, of time immemorial, mankind has sought a pathway back into the supernatural realm.

Thanks be to God for the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of the living God who became the Door-Opener into God’s presence

According to God’s blueprint, a woman is designed to bear children by becoming a portal of transport of a human spirit – soul from the spiritual to the natural realm.

Jesus fulfilled the Abrahamic Covenant, became the Portal within the ‘portal.’ 

He became the Portal or Door John 10:7,9 between the natural and the supernatural – the Seed of God, the Reconciler to reconcile man and God, one mediator between God and man 1 Timothy 2:5; 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 – legal inhabitant of the earth and spiritual world.

Jesus entered the natural dimension where all humans live through one of Abraham’s descendants, the ‘portal’ – the Virgin Mary, for God’s design and will to be established on earth.

This applies to us as well – we too become portals…As He is, so are we in this world 1 John 4:17. 

We are meant to be heavenly portals for heaven itself. Welcome to your pathway to destiny

According to the book of Ephesians we are seated in heavenly places, but to make this an everyday reality with heavenly encounters we need to access this heavenly portal JESUS – THE DOOR OPENER! Let us hold fast to the testimony of Jesus! He wants to spend time with us because He loves us, and He will show us some of the heavenly places.

The Psalmist says in Psalm 24:7-10. “Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, ancient doors; that the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty. The LORD mighty in battle…LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory.”

How do we stay connected with Jesus?

This goes beyond making room for the King of Glory to enter – through new birth. In this series we will consider three inter-connects: Assembling; Service; Prayer

Assembling. “We should not neglect the assembling of saints, our meeting together as believers for worship and instruction, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more faithfully as we see the day of Christ’s return] approaching.”          Hebrews 10:25.

So we need to Choose a Local Church where the Body of Christ gathers to hear the Word of God and respond in worship together and be regularly present and involved in Christian service and fellowship. It’s impossible to maintain a healthy relationship with God apart from his Body on earth, the Church.

Service.

Galatians 5:13. “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”

We may all like the word ministry but have we pondered over how to minister the life of Jesus? Yes, we need to find people to serve, and a great place to do that is the local Church. – The quickest path to depart from God is to pursue self, your own interests forgetful of others. This amounts to selfishness.

But there is a way out of this – think of yourself less. Put Jesus first, others next and yourself last. You do this by finding people to serve in love. As stated before it can happen in your church. You could also find other ways to serve others around you in different walks of life. This would open up prophetic encounters

Prayer

Praying without ceasing for this is the will of God. 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19. Make prayer a dialogue with God. Once you do it personally on a one-to-one with God, it can flow corporately through prayer – partners. Prophetic people ought to hear God’s voice as the Lord says – My sheep hear My voice and follow Me. A prayer of dialogue will do the job.

I hear the Lord say: If you abide in Me and My words abide in you ask what you will and it shall be done.

And you will hear what I have to say if you will hold fast to that Door which is Me as the disciple who leaned on Me, whom I loved learned much from Me.

Yes, as you Call on Me I will show you great and mighty things you are not aware of.

Do not neglect assembling together as you have heard before, for there too in the assembling you will hear my voice and learn to discern. You will have heard Me inwardly and outwardly as well and you will know to discern the genuine and the counterfeit through the Anointing that dwells in you and My Word that illuminates you.

Much love in Jesus, the King of Glory!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – July 2022 (Dose of Prophecy)

Greetings in the matchless Name of Jesus – the Lion of Judah!

It is our privilege as a cloud of witnesses on earth to see in our times, in our days, chapters of Revelation unfold – a panoramic exposure of biblical episodes foretold. We are literally living in the ‘last days.’ Soon and very soon we are going to see the King. I believe in biblical rapture. In the mean while portals have opened, are opening and will open in the ‘soon and very soon.’

This is going to be a series (God-willing) on ‘Portal Time Traveler.’ Are you ready? Fasten your seat belts…

The Bible abounds with references to portals, doors that were opened between God and His people. These portals, gates, entrances, road maps into God’s presence, pathways that connect the Heavenly and earthly realms, openings in heaven that reach the earth, supernatural travels are no more a mystery but a commonplace reality.

Importantly, on one hand, open portals release the power and presence of God and angelic activity to fulfil His plans and purposes individually and corporately and on the other hand, to prepare the Bride for His soon coming return. The prophets partner with angels in symphony, to encourage, exhort, comfort, build, prophesy in church settings, cities, nations, globally releasing mandates and mantles to spearhead God’s plans and purposes.

Satan on the contrary seeks to counterfeit God’s ways, opening portals to influence mankind negatively and destructively, in order to thwart God’s plans and purposes.

Let us reflect on one such Portal – The Portal of Thanksgiving and Praise. that is always accessible – a portal right into the presence of God, through corporate or singular praise.

Psalm 22:3; Psalm 100;

Psalm 22:3 “…you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel…”

Psalm 100 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his, we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

How are we going to worship the Lord through this portal?

– With the understanding that the Lord is God, He is good loving and faithful and we belong to Him. This understanding ushers us through the portal of thanksgiving for what He has done and praise for who He is. And that would supernaturally take us to throne to bow before Him in the silence of worship. The Father seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth John 4:23.

For you who would like to make your life naturally supernatural

– Your first step: Enter the Portal of Thanksgiving and Praise.

Psalm 34:1. I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

How often? – Continually.

Come into his presence with thanksgiving in your heart and give Him praise – that is very good, but incomplete until we worship at the throne in spirit and in truth.

Portals of Praise depict the heart of the psalmist, the prophet and others as well as they endeavor to bring forth heartfelt, spirit-led thanksgiving praise and worship.

How does God respond?

He throws wide open the windows of heaven with superabundance upon the earth. 

Psalm 84:4 How blessed are those who make Your house their home, who live with You; they are constantly praising You.

Psalm 67:5-6. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.

Let this month be, ‘Begin the Begin’ or ‘Let’s start at the very Beginning’ – A very good place to start. Enter the Portal of Thanksgiving and Praise. Future Portals will follow in the series.  

Much love in Jesus, the King of Glory!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – March 2021 (Dose of Prophecy)

It is written that life and death are in the power of the tongue.

It is also written that pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones.

Therefore choose life giving words that come from Him and proclaim them.

The words of the Lord are spirit and life to those who find them and medicine to all flesh

So He says: ‘Open wide your mouth and I will fill it.’ Psalms 81:10

Ask God to fill your mouth with prophetic words that cater to the needs of people including yourself and usher in the Kingdom of God.

As you praise Him, He will inhabit your praises (Psalms 22:3).
And as you release prophetic words to encourage, exhort, comfort and build others, it will bless others and yourself as well.

Let gratitude that is vocal be your attitude. Has He not said, that in everything give thanks to Him including good and bad occurrences? This will release further blessings to you.

Even in the temporal sense appreciating someone for a past favour paves the way for more. Therefore we need to comfort and edify each other (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

The Lord waits for us to release that miracle from our mouth.

Be blessed and highly favoured!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – February 2021 (Dose of Prophecy)

He who dwells in the Shelter of the Most-High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty
Psalms 91:1

The God who sheltered His people in biblical days will not stop now.

He sheltered Noah, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Naomi, Elijah, Daniel, Apostle Paul and so on will He not shelter you?

When you face times and you chase your seemingly impossible dream, remember tough times do not last but tough people do, even your worries can be temporary if you do not pay attention to them, for has it not been written – ‘In nothing be anxious…’

At such moments remind yourself of God did for you in the past – Recall, Replay, O victorious one and give God the glory, for better times are ahead.

Didn’t Moses tell the people of Israel when they were prone to get discouraged – “… remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt”
Deuteronomy 7:17-18, so must we.

When faced with obstacles on your way to reach your highest potential, recall, replay your past major victories

‘The things we see are temporal, but the things we can’t see are eternal.’

Be not discouraged at what you see, it is not permanent. God is working in all things for your good. The best is yet to come.

Be blessed and highly favoured!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – January 2021 (Dose of Prophecy)

I hear the Lord saying:

Get ready, I am all of a sudden changing things in your life.

Get ready for new locations at the right time. Your present place is not permanent and too small for you.

Expansion, with explosive blessings approaching inclusive of financial gains.

You have not seen my explosive blessings yet

unlimited immeasurable surpassing greatness of God’s favour. (Ephesians 2:7)

Unexpected inheritance to you from a family member…

Be blessed and highly favoured to you who fear the Lord and walk in His ways.

Miracles of Provision

In the spirit, I see people facing the sea, dipping their feet in the water along with empty baskets.

Little wavelets from the incoming waves come forth to bathe their feet bringing fish along. Some brought single baskets others brought multiple. The people begin to gather and fill their baskets with fish to an over-flowing. Some felt sorry they had not brought more carry – baskets. I sense the fish convey not only salvation but opulence (great wealth).

I am reminded of the widow whose husband died and her sons were to be sold into slavery – she couldn’t pay her bills.

Prophet Elisha asked her what she had. She replied that she had only a small jar of olive oil. So he sent her out to gather vessels to make provision for the increase she was about to miraculously receive.

The oil multiplied, the jars were filled, then the oil stopped flowing because there were no empty vessels left, to contain the oil. Then Elisha told her to sell the oil, pay her bills, and she and her sons could live off the rest.

Her miracle was in her own house. And there is a miracle for you in your house as well.

God will work a miracle with what you have, not with what you don’t have. Give Him what you have. He will multiply it and keep pouring it out to you, as long as you have a place for Him to fill, for these are the days of Elijah – Elisha, mantle – throwing time for the turn-around.

I perceive the Lord saying that for you who fear Him, who are good givers, and who walk in His ways – there is a turn-around coming for you. Do not fear adverse situations confronting you, for there is coming a new beginning, a resuscitation of God-initiated dying or dead dreams.

I hear the Lord saying:

“For you who love me, obey me, fear me, you will experience miraculous acts of provision from Me in the coming days, for I have heard your prayers and seen your tears. I have not forsaken you. You will find your provision coming to you from even least sought for or unlooked places, even from empty purses, cupboards, roadside and so on – Do you know where Peter got the money? –  from the fish’s mouth – for I am the Lord your Provider.

“As you fix your eyes on me you will find your income largely increase even though your pay-cheque or known sources of income are limited, for I have ways that are higher than your ways, and I know how to prosper you, seek My Kingdom first and walk in righteousness

“You shall be sought for by others whom you hardly even know who will bless you. I am the Holy One of Israel and I am unlimited, so do not limit Me. Do not lean unto your own understanding but acknowledge Me in all your ways and I will direct your paths.

“And you see the water touching your feet – be shod with the gospel of peace on a mission to preach the gospel while you continue with your earthly profession, for the gospel must be preached and souls saved and money will be miraculously provided as well for the mission. You will prosper and be blessed.

“I will send some of you to other nations and nationalities inland, overseas with the good news of not only salvation but also how to bring glory to God in the good works you do.

“Let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Be blessed and highly favoured!

– Prophet Tony Mathias

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – September 2020 (Dose of Prophecy)

The Battle for the Crown

This year is the beginning of transition for many, the year of the shift – shift into what? – a Crown Shift!

From, Kingdom of this world and its allegiance to the god of this world who is dethroned – to welcoming the soon coming return of Jesus the King of Glory and His Kingdom.

Crown Him the Lord of Heaven, enthroned in worlds above,
Crown Him the King to Whom is given the wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns, as thrones before Him fall;
Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, for He is King of all.

From self-destruct to revival; Though there be an apostasy or a great fall away, the backslidden afflicted, storm-tossed, helpless, and lost will return largely due to interceding ones breaking the tempter’s power, for God is greatly concerned about His children and many sinners will be saved as well. Even barren churches will have labour pains and many children. There is coming, an expansion!

We shall overcome! Walk in holiness dear overcomers! Pray! Pray! Pray!

I recall someone prophesying over me a couple of years ago – “There’s a wind coming against you with full force, pushing you backwards, preventing your onward journey. It suddenly turns around you and propels you forward to your assigned destination.” – Yes that’s true it is currently happening in my life, as I am moving on by the tide of the Spirit “…all things work together for good to them that love God, to them, who are -the called, according to his purpose.” Romans 8: 28.

In a similar context, the recent pandemic, a global occurrence crossing international borders, is like a gigantic force, impeding progress, causing first of all a pandemic of fear with questions arising in the minds of public health officials – ‘How deadly is it?’ ‘Can it be contained? ‘When will it be exterminated?’ – followed by panic, pandemonium, fear of the unknown, uncertainty, devastation, collapse of economic activity in its wake of death, destruction, threatening to wreck the fabric of society and more.

Be comforted to know that God has not abandoned us nor His good plans for us. When we are fearful of what is going on and what the future might hold, we need to remember that our ultimate comfort can be found in God’s love and protection.

“Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster has passed.” Psalms 57: 1

“Our help is in the Name of the Lord who made the heavens and the earth…”

Our survival instinct even begins to threaten our compassion. So God is calling us to continue in love and compassion, the world needs it and especially those around us.

While keeping to the norms of social distancing and taking care and precautionary measures, we should not forget we are one in the Spirit and should pray for each other – a great opportunity, to change things for the better routing out demons of fear and pursuing our God-given destiny.

Finally, the force or wind of trouble or tempest arrayed against us will be turned in our favour as we rest peacefully in Him the Rock of Ages, propelling us into our God-given destiny. He has the ability to provide rock-solid security for all ages. This current pandemic is reaching some alarming proportions. It’s easy to get caught in fear. But if we are walking with the Lord, many Scriptures promise us that He is with us and will take care of us. We are repeatedly told not to be afraid.

‘Rock of Ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee.’

It has been said – “When you run alone, you run a race. When you run with God, you run by grace.” His grace is sufficient for you.

One Year Recap of the Prophet’s Pen (Synopsis August 2019 – July 2020)

AUGUST 2019
Disciples of Jesus, there’s a storm coming – get in the boat. God the Storm-Stiller says fear not, He will handle the storm, keep us afloat, get us safely to the other side and chase the enemy (evil one) away who is in the storm. He says, He is making us overcomers through His Word, while we are in the midst of the storm, to thrive beyond the storm not just survive, with a promise of its cessation.

(Current Pandemic, sensed in August 2019?)

SEPTEMBER 2019
God is leading you through the open door – new beginnings to avail of His secrets and plans in line with His destiny for you, to a world of opportunities, unexpected doors, new revelations, new seasons of change, doors of hope, doors of ministry, secrets galore. The door He shuts, quit banging on, enter the one He opened for you with an angel on assignment to help create what you were designed for –  to serve people in love He sends across your path and be a blessing to them.

OCTOBER 2019
A right time for everything on earth, an opportune time to do things – a right time to reap or plant –discern! Discern the times for you and the seasons. Though the sorrows may last for a night, joy comes in the morning! God keeps watch over your weeping. Your due time has arrived – the hour of turnaround.


NOVEMBER 2019
Jesus is coming soon are you ready? God is calling His people to fulfil the Greatest Commandment to love and Great Commission to make disciples. He’s calling for a reckoning and a rewarding! He is calling His Generals as back-up, to the Joshua Generation that is being led from revelation to righteous revolution endowed with divine authority, anointing and strategic battle plans ahead.

DECEMBER 2019
God is calling the Joshua Generation to intimacy with Him. He is releasing supernatural anointing over them for the task ahead as forerunners going beyond the veil into the realms of heaven and coming back with a good report drawing others in. There’s going to be a multitasking and acceleration. The Spirit of God is giving new direction and fresh vision blowing their spiritual enemy away as they worship.


JANUARY 2020

Dead dreams are being resurrected, this is the time of ‘latter end increase.’ He will restore to you the years the locusts have eaten – joyful returns; seemingly impossible coming to pass. You will receive more than you have asked for with abiding peace to enable you to glorify the Lord.

 

FEBRUARY 2020
God says He will fill us with wisdom the principal thing in all affairs of life if we but ask. He will cause us to prophesy His Word with wisdom; declare His goodness in the land of the living. He has given us authority over all the power of the evil one; to pull down strongholds; bring down territorial spirits and so on but that will not do until we use our authority. That as we walk in His ways, we will walk in His favour and reach our destination.

 

MARCH 2020
He says – He has given us a spirit of wisdom and revelation, insight into mysteries and secrets by knowing Him through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, that includes sudden understanding and perception of situations, or mysteries. And the power to decree what He has declared and see it come to pass through intimacy.


APRIL 2020

While we are in the ‘Eye of the Storm,’ during this stressful period of time (pandemic), the Lord says: He will ‘guard and guide’ us to manoeuvre peacefully; we have nothing to fear, He is in our boat. All we need to do is acknowledge Him in all our ways, commune with Him in the Secret Place. Then He will write letters to us in the Spirit which will be despatched by His faithful angels into our letter-boxes (spirit man) to read, ponder and respond – keeping us safe from destiny–Killers.

 

MAY 2020
The Lord says: This is the appropriate season, appointed time for permitting His judgment of the global-pandemic since wickedness is reigning paramount having replaced justice. But there will be a quick exit of this virus for the sake of His very own who cry out to Him. After the storm will come the calm – and a worldwide much-awaited global great awakening revival which the prophets have foretold. There is going to be a great hunger for hearing the voice of God, and the prophetic. He says, He will manifest His presence with visitations inside locked doors.

 

JUNE 2020
Waiting always seems a trial of patience. But God works in all circumstances, situations for the good of those who love, trust and acknowledge Him not leaning on to their own understanding or self-reliance. Though sorrow may last for the night, joy comes in the morning. And this shall be followed by the greatest revival of all – dancing in His glory.

 

JULY 2020
There are people in our days as have been in the past who have despised ‘Prophecy and the Prophet.’ And now there is a turn-around a ‘growing interest’ in Bible prophecy amid the pandemic from different strata of life including sceptics. The time of reckoning and God’s judgment has arrived in the Church as well as the world. God says – Repent and Love not the world nor the things of this world. Social distancing is necessary, relational distancing is not. Though the Christian, has the assurance of salvation and hope of eternity because of the Blood of Christ shed on the cross for us. It is time to prepare to meet our God and end play – Church.

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – August 2020 (Dose of Prophecy)

I recall a vision I had of an ‘Angel in Armour’ dragging a round-headed tentacled creature from the sea, cutting off its head and parading it in triumph.

This could represent the present Virus engulfing the world coming from a literal sea or through a sea of people.

The permission for its existence and eradication through Godly interference could be a part of God’s move and end time plan.

After the storm comes the calm.

We pray for better days ahead soon.

I sense, God is turning the arms of the clock so that we complete what we started in His Will but abandoned.

Dead dreams are being resurrected.

During this time of pandemic seclusion God is realigning partially jumbled, partially obscured blue prints to His original intent.

Time spent with the Lord is never a waste especially during this time of seclusion.

It is an eye-opener for a ‘Mary-Martha’ episode, from busy-ness to focusing on His business.

 

Fear not at what’s happening.
It’s all under control

Orchestrated by Me in ways that escape understanding
Cease after having taken its toll

Numbers may seem astronomical
Most assuredly shall fall

With hope in Me unshaken
Cause an unwinding downward spiral after all

The clouds are shifting darkness dispelled.
The Sun is shifting and all is well

Look back and you can tell.
Lessons learned have worked out well

Curtains are parting, a new panorama makes its debut

For you My choice ones entrusting.
That will gladden your hearts and make it all pleasing

Cease from worry and fear and be at peace.
Trust in Me and all this uproar will cease.

Be Blessed And Highly Favoured!

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – July 2020 (Dose of Prophecy)

There are people in our days as have been in the past who have despised Prophecy and the Prophet.’

Amazingly, God works in all things for good even as He is doing it during this current pandemic.

Yes, in fact, one of the ways He is working is to bring a ‘growing interest’ in Bible prophecy amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Sceptics who treated with disdain the season of the end times are now wondering whether, after all, it is true.

Even pastors who thought otherwise are beginning to view biblical end-times prophecies as being showcased in current global events.

The time of reckoning and God’s judgment has arrived in the Church as well as the world – death, desperation, violence, locked-in and locked-out, famine, starvation, waves of locusts, people fleeing to safer locations…these are perilous times taking a toll on many.

We are aware of what is happening with the coronavirus pandemic intensifying and the virus spreading – labour shortage to manufacture, deliver and unpack groceries in stores; supermarkets and distribution facilities facing a difficult choice to keep shelves stocked with essentials and workers safe.

In the coming days, we might witness truck drivers refusing to drive into highly-infected zones, to deliver food, fuel, medicine and other supplies. Where are we heading?

What is God saying to us during this pandemic:
Repent and Love not the world nor the things of this world.

He is using it to persuade us to change the way we treat one another and all He has created.

Though social distancing is necessary, relational distancing is not.

Let’s build a relational bridge when the virus wants to create a social drain.

As bad as pandemics are, hell will be worse.

The Christian, however, has the assurance of salvation and the hope of eternity because of the blood of Christ shed on the cross for us.

It is time to prepare to meet our God and end play – Church.

As followers of Jesus in 2020 will we be those who show and share the love of Jesus in the midst of this now-growing crisis?

A Word From The Prophet’s Pen – June 2020 (Dose of Prophecy)

Waiting always seems a trial of patience.

But God works in all circumstances, situations and waiting period for the good of those who love, trust and acknowledge Him not leaning on to their own understanding or self-reliance.

I hear Him say – “While you wait for your miracle take time to ponder over my promises to you declaring and decreeing them as your present reality. I am holding your hand – Fear not I will help you.”

I see you sitting on an open field crying – the sun is overshadowed by a dark cloud and the shadow is falling on you. The Lord says to you – “Fear not, the darkness is passing away and I’m wiping away your tears.”

“There will be an end to this pandemic which I have permitted in My overall plans – you will go out, and leap like calves of the stall because you revere My Name.” –

Though sorrow may last for the night, joy comes in the morning. And this shall be followed by the greatest revival of all – dancing in His glory.
