Spiritual Dignitaries

 A dignitary is a person called to a high office, position, or state with authority and is served by others and may often served others in return.

Honor is is the main thing about a dignitary, they are honored.

Kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers and Governors are examples of dignitaries of the earth.

There are different kinds of dignitaries on earth- political, business, academic sport and traditional.

They can be good or bad depending on the their hearts, the heart of a dignitary determines if he or she abuses their authority and power or uses it well.

As it is in our physical world, so it is in the spiritual dimension.

We have spiritual dignitaries.

Spiritual dignitaries can be human beings or spirit beings.

Examples of spiritual dignitaries are the twenty four elders before the throne of God who wear crowns, the four living creatures, archangels, principalities, and the regenerated or recreated human spirit, a type of human being we call born again Christian.

John the Baptist was a spiritual dignitary by reason of being born with the Holy Spirit from birth, coming in the spirit of Elijah and being greater than all the prophets who have lived until Christ Jesus. This was a honor he had from God and mention by Jesus Christ.

His dwelling was in the desert, he ate locusts and wild honey and dressed in camel skin.

Not all spiritual dignitaries look like one to the natural eye.

If you judge or despise them based on their looks you will be mistaken.

The scriptures encourage us to *judge no man after the flesh"

We need to be discerning to identify spiritual dignitaries, to know who the Creator will have us work with and honor.

Abraham was a spiritual dignitary by virtue of God's election, choice and sovereignty, he was a spiritual dignity by virtue of his friendship and proximity to the Lord.

The covenant of the Lord was with the man, Abraham was not permitted to be touched or offended by any man.

To come against Abraham was like coming against God, the protection of the Almighty was heavy upon the man and all he had.

Principalities are dignitaries.

Principalities have strong holds over regions. They control that region.

Principalities are spirit princes over a region.

Every country has one.

The prince of Persia is a principality who resisted the angelic messenger sent with the answers to Daniel's prayer.

He was an illegitimate spiritual authority over Persia and felt the right to resist Daniel's prayer by detaining the angel sent in answer to Daniel's prayer.

It is a law in the spiritual realm that only a prince can bind a prince.

So God has to send a prince among the angelic order in the person of archangel Michael.

Archangels are dignitaries in the angelic order.

Archangels are princes among angels.

Archangels are angelic beings with leadership, a crown, who have a team of angels they lead.

King David was a spiritual dignitary and a political dignitary.

He was a warrior, a fighting prince and king.

He was a spiritual prince before he became a political prince, his spiritual ranking eventually played out in his physical life. He became an earthly prince by virtue of marriage to the king's daughter, he would eventually become king which is was destiny.

The born again Christian or new creation is a spiritual dignitary.

They are spiritual dignitaries because they have taken on the nature and likeness of God!

They are spiritual dignitaries because they are highly placed, seated with Christ in the heavenly realms, they have the high ground!

The human perspective and view of the new creation on earth is often distorted.

The enemy has subjected it to mockery, oddity and misrepresentation which is far from the truth.

The new creation is a human being who has taken a seat in divinity, a new being who has taken a place in God.

The new creation is glorious, beautiful, wonderful and has become an extension of God!

The new creation or born again is the one chosen to judge angels, we will judge the fallen angels, more so the ones who came to earth to marry women and defile God's creation.

Being a new creation in Christ Jesus is the highest attainment!

The new creation is a spiritual dignitary!

We have spiritual dignitaries who are evil.

We have evil spirits who are honored in the dark realm.

High ranking wizards, high ranking witches, high ranking fallen angels, and high ranking demonic princes. There are high ranking voodoo priests! 

They are all spiritual dignitaries.

Dignitaries are honored to the degree of their rank.

In Christ Jesus, the dignitaries from His kingdom serve others.

In the kingdom of God, humble service is usually evidence of being highly ranked! 

"The greatest among you is the one who serves."

The Walking Dead

There are those who are living yet are dead.

Such people can be called walking dead or living dead.

They are moving forward but not making progress.

They marry, have careers, start families, have jobs, make money and live well, they may even seem to have it together but they ae still as good as dead.

A walking dead or a living dead is basically a walking corpse.

The closest thing to a walking dead or walking corpse is a zombie.

Zombies walk, move, and appear to be living but are actually dead or radically altered versions of who they are originally.

The Bible talks about a church assembly or community of people known as the church of Sardis "who have a reputation for being alive but were actually dead"

The church of Sardis were a group of people who were living dead people on the earth!

To the natural eye and mind they were a vibrant group or community of people.

They way God sees things and people is different from the way man sees things and people.

People saw vibrancy and life in the church of Sardis, God saw death there.

I believe there are places and people many don't see as full of life or vibrant while God see vibrancy and life there.

Jesus shares the story of the rich man and Lazarus, a popular Bible parable.

The rich man looked prosperous to the human eye- he fed well daily like a king, wore the best clothes, and had servants at his beck and call.

To the Creator he was a walking dead!

To the human eye he was doing well and thriving.

Lazarus who was poor, beggarly and homeless in front of the rich man's house  would probably fit the description of a living dead to the human eye and mind, he was actually the one truly living!

The Creator has a different perception to humanity.

In another masterful story of Jesus, he shares a parable of The Rich Fool, which is about a man God had prospered so much. 

His farm did well and he had a huge harvest which filled up his barn and he had excess harvests left over.

He decided to pull down his barn and build a bigger one to accommodate the size of his harvests. He planned to spend the years of his life eating, drinking and resting.

God frowned at this and declared his life would be taken from him that very night, and who would own all he had acquired?

The Creator called him a fool.

Nabal the husband of Abigail who later married king David was a living dead.

His wife described him as a fool, he was an ingrate, and he is described in the Bible as a harsh, evil and senseless man. It is interesting to note that his name means fool.

Abraham was a man called by God, he became a friend of the Lord!

And God made a covenant with Abraham that whoever curses Abraham would be cursed, whoever blesses Abraham would be blessed for God was Abraham's shield and exceedingly great reward.

Abraham was a dangerous man to come against!

Imagine hating such a man, you instantly become a walking dead.

Imagine working against such a man, believing he is an ordinary man like anyone else, instantly you'd find the angel of death working against you, your efforts against Abraham backfiring and you becoming a living dead!

Abimelech the ruler of a town called Gerar took the wife of Abraham and got warned in a dream by God to return the man's wife.

He was told in the dream he is as good as dead!

Abimelech was a living dead if he didn't return Sarah Abraham's wife!

Abimelech was favored and fortunate to be warned, he was about to become a living dead if he didn't return Sarah!

Abimelech, his wife and the women in his palace were struck with a form of infertility before he returned Sarah and they were healed after Sarah was returned.

Something similar happened with Isaac, Abraham's son with an Abimelech too.

Perhaps the son and successor of the Abimelech who took Abraham's wife Sarah.

Isaac had the Abrahamic covenant at work in his life, he was the covenant son of promise to his dad.

He and his wife were protected by God just like God had done with Abraham and Sarah.

A living dead is an individual God is against.

An individual grace is running out on, is a living dead.

Anyone God sees as a fool is a living dead.

Anyone who God resists is a living dead.

A wicked person is a living dead.

The scriptures tell us God is angry with the wicked everyday.

Selfish, self centered people who do not think of being blessings to others are as the walking dead.

 Repentance takes us from death to life!

Repentance is the way to move from being a walking dead to a blessed living being.

Little, Small, Impactful, and Valuable

 The value of a diamond is not so much in its size but in the quality of the stone it is.

Ants are small insects, yet their role in nature and their place in the ecosystem is much.

In ants, as small as they are we learn big lessons on diligence, order, timing and taking responsibility.

Foxes may be little but they can cause a lot of damage to livestock and big losses to farmers,

The scriptures talk about "the little foxes that spoil the vine"

That a thing is little doesn't mean it's not potent.

Little, doesn't mean it is not impactful.

Dynamites are small but their impact is far reaching when they explode.

Dynamites come in small packages.

A stone may be small but it creates great ripples when thrown in water- lake, pond or still river.

Small but impactful.

Little things can cause big damage or lots of harm.

David looked little and insignificant in the eyes of Goliath.

Don't despise a thing or person because they are little.

Goliath paid the price, he learnt the hard way.

The tongue is little but it starts wars, tears families apart, breaks marriages and destroys destinies.

A pill may be little but potent as medication, the size of the pill doesn't do justice to its effect.

The pearl found in oyster shells may be small but they are valuable.

They are part of the treasures of the sea.

The safety pin may be small in size but it is useful to billions of people all over the world.

The little vices we do not tackle and overcome can cause loss and have long lasting effects.

A little bit of advice can make a big difference.

What looks small, little or insignificant to you may mean the world to someone else.

Great discoveries have been made from what looked like insignificant experience.

Small ideas have birthed great inventions.

Inspired ideas that seemed unnecessary at the time have turned out to be treasures that changed peoples fortunes and the course of humanity.

Your kind text message, your hug, your patience, your help your kind words may not look like much to you but the impact it has on someone else may be life changing.

Over five thousand people were once fed through the hand of Jesus the Christ from a small boys little lunch.

The five loaves of bread and two fish was not enough to feed thousands of people.

It turned out more than enough

Little is much when God is in it or involved with it.

Economic Warfare

 

Economic warfare is an aspect of any kind of warfare.

Whether it is warfare between nations, spiritual warfare, political warfare or a battle between two players- companies or individuals, economic warfare is a key part of it.

Right now, Iran is fighting America economically. They're doing their best to weaken the American dollar, undermining the US dollar through their control of the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran is not only fighting through the shooting of missiles, they are fighting the American dollar.

America had been fighting Iran economically too, prior to Iran being struck in what is the U.S and Israel's joint attack against Iran as Operation Epic Fury and Operation Lion's Roar respectively.

The U.S ensured there was a scarcity of the US dollar in Iran which eventually led to the demonstrations going on across the country.

It's been a case of playing a financial chess match.

This is what nations do.

The foreign policies and geopolitical game plan of each nation determines her place in the world.

Nations that are key world powers want their currency to be dominant globally.

America has been world power for so long because the American dollar has been dominant on the global scene as legal trading tender.

If the dollar falls and another currency rises to be used as the accepted trading currency globally, the nation with the strong currency will very like become world power.

When the economy of a nation, society, community, family, or individual is under attack; their ability to compete has been taken away from them. This gives their competition or enemy an advantage.

Resources are needed to compete, finances are needed for relevance, and the competition can win their opposition due to a deep and large war chest.

Lack of resources or a lack of access to resources has ended wars and left the sides without access or a lack thereof, defeated.

Evil men enrich themselves, using poverty has a weapon, to control the narrative politically, to remain relevant, to get the masses to do their bidding and to keep themselves remaining on top.

He who pays the piper dictates the tune.

Crime, fetish works, and all sorts of vices are more common in nations where the poverty level is high.

Even the enemy of our souls knows economic warfare is one of the fastest ways to defeat a destiny or break an individual.

Lack causes suffering, and suffering makes people doubt the faithfulness of God.

Many great ideas that would have opened up industries, revolutionized certain sectors and enriched the one with the dream have remained as ideas without materializing due to economic/financial challenges.

There is an obvious link between our dominion and our financial empowerment.

Financial empowerment helps us do more, it helps us take territories.

Economic freedom gives us choices and cards to operate with in life.

Many great dreams that would have benefitted humanity have either not materialized or the idea and dream stolen from its originator by those who have the resources to make it happen.

Many years ago, when I was younger in age and in the faith I was of the opinion the enemy of our souls didn't care whether we prospered financially or not.

I felt and perhaps I had been taught that our salvation is the only thing the enemy is after.

I assumed its all spiritual and had nothing to do with finances/resources.

At the time I didn't understand the connection between our tangible world and the spiritual dimension.

I felt our finances did not interest the enemy in anyway.

I was naive and young.

Your personal economy is an aspect of your prosperity.

Your prosperity has its place in your destiny.

When the enemy brings warfare against a life, that warfare can manifest in many ways and to any aspect of that life. It can also manifest as financial or economic warfare.

The enemy of our souls is smart enough to know financial warfare causes financial challenges, financial distress, financial pressure, impoverishment and stagnancy which is the fastest way of disarming the opposition and claiming a victory.

Through financial warfare, the enemy smartly takes away your choice.

Finances gives you choices, options and a voice.

It puts you in a strong position.

Your finances matter to your enemy more than you probably realize.

If the enemy can block, resist, and manipulate your flow of economic supply its because he believes he can make you crumble.

He knows economic impoverishment can take away your peace, your joy and cause stagnancy and a loss of opportunities, giving him the edge over you.

Such plans should not prevail against us who are rooted in the Lord.

The enemy doesn't have to have any victory or claim in or over our lives.

Financial warfare brought against you should be resisted, just as you would resist the attacks of the enemy in other areas of your lives.

Thought Matters

 Our thoughts matter.

Thought matters are crucial matters, they determine the trajectory of our lives.

The art of thinking is worth knowing and mastering.

The realm of thought is a powerful dimension where inventions are started and possibilities brought to life.

With our thoughts we meditate, meditating can be likened to a mother hen brooding on her eggs till they hatch.

Through meditation we can brood on our ideas, plans, and strategies until they 'hatch'.

The hatching stage is the birthing stage.

We should birth good ideas, winning ideas, inventions, innovations and good works!

This is a big aspect of our dreams coming to pass.

Let's trust the Lord for winning thoughts and great ideas!

As we master the art of thinking, we meditate more, we meditate more intentionally.

Meditating intentionally requires discipline, mental discipline.

Thoughts are things because it is thoughts that become things!

Every 'thing' exists first in the realm of thought, everything that exists today was once a thought.

Every single product and service we have on the earth today was once someone's thought.

Every idea, plan, strategy that exists today was once in the realm of thought.

From the dimension of our thoughts we should bring forth  ideas, products, and possibilities that benefit humanity.

Meditating helps our thoughts to be disciplined, discipline helps our meditation.

Through the art of discipline we check and do something about unhealthy thoughts that should not be in our mind.

The scriptures tell us we should "cast down every thought and imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ"

That is discipline!

Be disciplined in your thought life and remove negative thoughts.

Discipline in our thought realm can be likened to a door to the entrance of our mind.

It is with our minds we think (imagine, process information and visualize).

At the door of discipline we check what we want to enter our thought life.

We have a right to determine what comes in and what stays out.

Its not every word, idea or suggestion that is worth meditating on.

You have a choice in your thought life.

You choose what is worth working with and what is not worth working with.

Work with good thoughts.

The Book gives us information on what we should work with in our thoughts, through our thinking.

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things"

Our brains are remarkable human engines.

The brain is the human engine of the individual.

Powerful, delicate and protected by the skull, our sanity and well being is determined by how we use our brain, our mind.

Our brains is one of the things that set us apart from other animals.

The working of the brain (our mind) determines our distinction.

Our uniqueness has a lot to do with our thinking.

The ability to think is a beautiful ability we have and we should use well.

Like Norman Vincent Peale of blessed memory once said "think, always think!"

Zero To Sixty

Moving from Zero to sixty is great speed!

It is sudden acceleration.

There's a film called 'zero to sixty.'

An old film about a racing car.

A part of the film's theme song sings "zero to sixty, faster than a speeding bullet!"

We are in a season of movement, suddenly and divine acceleration.

A season when the Lord is doing something good, new and rapid for His people.

The happenings will be so quick it will be faster than a speeding bullet.

A within the twinkling of an eye order of miracle!

It is for those who have been faithful to His Name and His cause.

It is for those who have been listening for His voice as they have faithfully endured hardship as good soldiers for the Lord.

It is an occurrence to benefit those who have been faithfully connecting the dots and seeing God's plan in the midst of chaos and uncertainity.

It will happen for those who have kept going when it made no sense, who kept believing when it didn't look beneficial to do so, and stood strong in faith when the enemy kept tormenting.

In the spiritual realm, many things will start happening suddenly- sudden restoration, sudden restitution, sudden favor, sudden change, sudden progress, sudden salvations and sudden deliverance

This is all part of the Lord's good plan and agenda.

So be encouraged and get ready.

Brace yourself, use your seat belt and enjoy the ride!

The Lord is taking His children on a ride.

It is a ride to higher heights and greater glories.

It is a ride into destiny, a ride into the true life He has given to you and purposed for you to live from the foundation of the world.

It is a ride money cannot buy neither can the rich book for it.

It is God given.

It is a once in a lifetime kind of miracle, a once in a generation kind of occurrence.

There is no time to waste, there is to reason to delay, the Master is ready; ready to take you from stagnancy into acceleration, from slowness into speed, from setback into rapid fulfillment.

The speed will be thrilling, it will be sudden.

It is a custom made experience just for you!

It has your name all over it and God's hand is upon it.

Planned by the Lord, inspired by His Spirit, powered by His promises, motivated by His intentions and purposed in His wisdom this sudden movement is custom made for you.

It is movement that ensures progress, fueled by grace.

A miracle movement. An anointed movement, A life altering movement, a work of the anointing ushering us into higher heights of glory!

This supernatural speed will positively affect every area of your life!

As a result you will exceed the projection of your enemies for your life, excel the expectation of your critics towards you, and it will mock all your detractors.

"It is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes"

This sudden change, this divine turnaround will be so sudden, unusual, uncommon, special and unique.

It is a blessing, a gift, a glory from your Heavenly Father to you.

It is happening because He loves you.

It is happening because He intends it.

It is happening because He heard you.

It is happening because He sees all you've been through.

He has seen your faithfulness, He has seen you praise when you didn't feel like it, He has seen you hope against hope, He has seen you stand. Now He will reward you.

This divine acceleration is taking you to higher heights and greater glories.

The Lord is lifting you up because you have known His Name!

He is doing it with speed, zeal, and intention for the zeal of the Lord will accomplish it.

The season of delays you experienced was your time of preparation.

The Lord has prepared you, now you are ready.

The wilderness didn't destroy you, it sharpened you, toughened you, and qualified you.

Now you are ready.

The hour of darkness didn't overwhelm you, you stood up to the darkness and you let your light shine.

Now you will advance in light and with the Light!

You will thrive and your life will take a new and positive turn.

You will prosper because of what the Lord is doing for you, in you and through you.

The Lord took His time to build and realign you, now He will speedily unveil and present you to your world, even the world.

It has pleased the Lord to accelerate you to the heights.

He has established your feet, your steps.

You have been prepared, and He has made your feet like hinds feet that you may walk on your high places.

Your are moving from zero to sixty!

Faith, Money, Blood & Gold

On this earth, we will continue to have to purchase for goods and services.- food, groceries, skills and entertainment.
Legal tender is very important in the world we live in.

As it is so in the natural realm, so it is in the spiritual dimension.

Money is important in this physical world and we have the equivalent of that in the spiritual realm.

Faith is currency.

Faith can be likened to the spiritual equivalent of finances.

We get things and also move things from the spiritual dimension into the physical realm through the currency of faith.

The more money a person has access to in this world, the more he can purchase and sometimes the better the quality of life.

In the same sense, the more of the faith you use the more you can do and claim from the spirit dimension.

As money is important in this world, so is faith.

As money is essential to our day to day life, so is faith.

What money is to our physical world, faith is and more to our spiritual life.

In Christ Jesus, we are given a wallet full of faith!

This wallet full of faith is to be used, increased and glorify God with.

We call this wallet full of faith a measure of faith.

As money is meant to be spent in this physical dimension so is our faith meant to be spent in the spiritual dimension.

As money can grow when we invest it, save it and plan it well, so can our faith when we invest our faith and invest into our faith.

Invest your faith and invest into your faith, it will yield for you in this life and in eternity.

Gold is a form of legal tender.

Depending on its size and quantity, and part of the world.

Generally, gold is treated as an investment asset (bullion) in every part of the world.

It is one of the most valuable metals on earth along with Rhodium and Platinum.

The value of precious metals like gold is in their rarity.

You don't find gold everywhere or just anywhere, real gold that is.

Gold is durable, and universally desirable.

A lot of investors buy gold as a sure asset that inflation, market instability, and currency devaluation does not affect.

What gold is in our physical world can be likened to what blood is in the realm of spirits.

Spirits don't have blood.

This is why blood is so valuable in the spiritual realm.

Blood is accepted by spirits as an appeasement.

God, the Father of all spirits used to accept it in the old testament.

In the old testament of scriptures the blood of bulls, sheep and goats were offered for the forgiveness of sins and as sacrifices to God.

The value of blood is further seen as commands were given by God regarding blood as it relates to killing, sacrifices, sexual intercourse and the female menstruation.

Blood is to be valued by man as God values it.

This is why the human life is sacred.

"The life of a thing is in its blood."

The life of every flesh is in its blood.

In poverty stricken countries ritual killings can be quite high.

Ritual killings are done for money, we call them blood money.

Money has a spiritual source.

Spirits can move money to an individual, families and keep wealth in dynasties because of covenants, altars and sacrifices.

When spirits are appeased they don't have a problem moving money to those who have done their bidding.

Spirits can access the wealth and resources of this world.

Their altars can prosper.

Not every financial prosperity is a God given prosperity.

Evil altars often require blood.

Satan can give financial prosperity.

The enemy can give a certain glory.

He said to Jesus "all these things I will give You if You fall down and worship me"

He was negotiating with Jesus, to give Jesus the glories of the world in exchange for His worship.

There is a link between faith, money, blood and gold.

Money is what we earn in exchange for our time, skill, blood, and sometimes sweat.

This is why money is so valuable to most people and unfortunately some value it more than human life; more than the life of their fellow man and even more than their own life.

We have to invest our time in listening to God's word to activate our faith.

Worship supersedes money, gold, and earthly glory.
