THE EMERGING PHASE OF THE LORD’S ARMY: JOEL 2:1-11

This is a sequel to our previous series on THE MAKING OF GOD’S ARMY; the armies of God go through a process before their total takeover. There is what is called the introductory stage; the incubation stage which is the preparation stage and today we are talking about the emerging stage. The emerging stage is the stage where the armies begin to rise and move towards their position because at this stage they are fully aware of who they are; they have been entrusted with some authority based on the battles they have engaged in during the incubatory stage. Joel 2:1(Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; 2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains; a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations). This scripture is talking about you and me; the reason why your training was full of agony is for you to emerge as a strong and great army. The armies are trained to endure and enjoy pain because inside that pain is their enthronement just like Joseph in the land of Egypt.

We are in the day of darkness and this is the day that the LORD has been training His armies and preparing them for the takeover. We are the takeover army. Before I move further, let me paint a picture of this takeover army to us for more understanding; their emerging into the world. Stars cannot be seen in the daytime; before you can see a shining star in the sky you need to wait for darkness to come. So friends don’t bother too much about the darkness because it is there for you to shine in their midst. You are a star because redemption had made you so; every seed of Abraham is a star; God told Abraham that his seeds shall be as the stars; so when you look up to the sky in the night knows that you are among those stars. Genesis 15:5(And he brought him forth abroad, and said, look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be). Galatians 3:29(and if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise). You are from above because he that is from above is above all (John 3:31); Daniel 12:3(And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever). We all know that in this kingdom every provision of the scripture has a condition attached to it. Your emerging as the takeover army lies on the multitudes of people that you have turned to God. Stars do fade away, when they are no longer relevant; but those that continue in the assignment of turning many to righteousness are ordained a star forever in order of Jesus and Paul the apostle. During the process of making it, it will look as if everything is working against you; but that is not so, instead everything is working for you. The same thing happens to silver and gold during the purification process; they pass through the refiner’s fire and come out as something to cherish and value; that’s you in Jesus name. You are brought out of darkness by force and you are ordained to shine in the midst of darkness; you can’t run away from darkness, but you are have been empowered to dominate and reign over them; that is why when you look up in the night, you see the stars shining from the dark cloud. Your light is meant to make the darkness useless; you are to draw as many stars that are still hidden inside that dark cloud out into the open. you are shining because you have been chosen and prepared to conquer; if you have not conquered them you would have still been lost inside the dark cloud by now; you are in the open now and darkness cannot cover you anymore. When you look carefully into the sky, you will notice that some of those stars are bigger than each other; but you can improve in your work with God and gain more size. The more stars you draw from the dark cloud the bigger and brighter your star becomes. Some of those stars can actually get swallowed by the dark cloud again if they stop obeying God’s instruction on how to maintain their dominion. It is very easy because you are still in the same world with them, it is just that you have been empowered to dominate them. Matthew 13:30(Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn). You will not be choked by the tares in Jesus name. Now that your star has emerged, no matter the darkness around you, they will not be able to cover your star again in Jesus name. in case you are still lost in the dark cloud and you need help to come out and shine as the star that you are destined to be; Jesus Christ is beckoning you to stretch your hand and let him pull you out; please hurry up and pray this salvation pray below and you would be out in the open in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
