6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever.

Words of the Ministry:
As we proceed on the theme Yahweh Sabaoth, I would want to comment a little further on the kingdom as we started considering it yesterday. We saw how Jesus taught his disciples to pray the kingdom manifestation prayer and how he was a part of the fulfilment as he was already in the kingdom and the kingdom was in him, in Jesus we saw a man who God used to destroy the kingdom of darkness and put the rage of the devil under control. Today we are looking further on the manifestation of the kingdom in the Church age. Our today’s reading is quite imagery, It says the government shall be upon his shoulders, he is the head and we are the body (1 Cor 12.27), the body starts from the neck and shoulder. So we are to exercise his authority. We have equal access to our father Jehovah sabaoth to engage the armies of God. Just as God fought on behalf of man and we saw men fight in the physical, so we are, the bible calls us wrestlers (Eph 6.12) and soldiers in (2thim 2.4).
We have a fighting destiny, engaging the provisions of our Lord God of host of all the armies using both natural and unnatural weapons, Jesus teaching us to pray said, thy kingdom come and will be done on earth (Mat 6.10), to understand this we need to read Rev 12.7-10, for the will of God to be done, we must push down the dominion of Satan enforcing our authority with the Lord of host. Looking at promises of the bible we have been blessed with all spiritual blessing, we have been delivered from the power of darkness but is that the reality? We need to rise with a mighty voice like Hannah, cry out loud like Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus to engage the Lord of host.
Dear saints, the battle is of the Lord but he needs you and I to enforce his authority. The bible teaches, God has given the earth to the children of men, in Mat 28.18, Jesus said all authority has been given to him. In Christ we have the authority Adam Lost, we have the power to bind and lose. We must move knowing Jehovah Sabaoth would not just hear us but is in us, with us and through us to show his glory. we are his temple, his dwelling place (1 Cor 3.16). we are the reality of the ark, the living ark. We must extend the kingdom by making no room for Satan and his works, dealing with our self, Satan, sin and sicknesses wherever they manifest. The burden is on us to ensure the gates of hell, the defense of hell does not prevail, we must pull it down through Christ in us. With you in your neighborhood, family, school, business place etc , it should be said that the kingdom is here. may the Lord grant us light. This Sunday we meet at Peniel by 4pm, please come with family and friends, shalom.
