2015 in Prophecy: Prophetic Roadmap for Navigating the New Era ISSUE #001 From the Coordinator's Desk W elcome to 2015. The church of God in Nigeria has very recently witnessed a massive surge in prophetic anointing, a new undergrowth of seers and prophetic people are beginning to emerge in our spiritual landscape having strong favour? with heaven. Some of the prophetic experiences that have been reported to me are nothing short of amazing. These prophetic people have remarkable prophetic encounters that parallel any such ministries elsewhere. God has been talking to them, giving us spiritual intel through them and I believe God no longer wants us to be ignorant about spiritual transactions within our spiritualscape. it is my honour to present you with some of the revelations some of these folks have been receiving, especially as we seek to seer clearly what God has planned for the spiritual season we find ourselves in. The purpose is for spiritual guidance, direction, warfare and intimacy. Ernest Paul Ernest Paul In the days leading to 2015, while seeking the Lord for further designs concerning the things He planned to do in 2015 I had a little prophetic experience in which I was shown that “Empires will crumble, fortresses would be devastated, and the fortress of lies would be shattered. As a ? result strangers will fade away from their hiding places and believers will begin to see the highways to Zion and start coming on it. I actually saw building in ruins and understood that the devastation was the result of winds coming from the Lord. I knew what I was seeing related to the church and yet at the same time I knew it spoke of the political realm (of Nigeria) as well. What the Lord is saying is that through an action of the Holy Spirit alliances and stronghold positions behind which lying spirits have taken up residence would be devastated. Folks would find that their excuses and all the arguments hindering them from seeing the truth and hearing God's voice would be disannulled. Then will their eyes be open to see the paths that lead to Zion positions. I was delighted to see the words by Chuck Pierce in relation to 2015: “For I am beginning a highway out of Egypt but I'll redo the highway that you're on. And I say now, the demons that have been trafficking and even creating trafficking throughout the earth, I Am going to unnest their headquarters.” I was further told that “2015 would be a year of Great Beginnings. The great forces of Genesis, and the working of Divine Sovereignty would be footloose.” This would both be the beginning of eternal things as well as the beginning of mighty movements to close this present Age. It would also be a year of ? great victories and triumphs. A window of opportunity stands open to take hold on new realities. This would be in the proportion of our vision and faith. “The violent takes it by force”. This must be the spirit/attitude of the season. We would be required to PUSH beyond limiting fears, and restraining considerations. A LEAP is required to disconnect us from former realities so we can take hold of things outside the range of our previous experiences. There seems to be a timeline to this. “He limiteth a certain day, saying, 'today'''. As we entered Rosh Hashanah on Sept. 24, we transitioned from the year of the door to the year of the window. ? There will be a release of the spirit of faith, the gift of faith, and boldness; we have to move powerfully against fear (Hittite spirit) and boldly push to actuate our Kingdom mandates. There would also be faith for the supernatural. Neville Johnson, agrees with this word he said “THE LORD WILL RELEASE THE GIFT OF FAITH IN THIS SEASON. This gift will release the most incredible miracles that we have hardly dreamt of. There is not much spoken of about this gift.” The prophetess, Paulette Reed also said: “This will be a year of serving from a place of rest. Increased Faith upon the Earth. Believers will receive a renewing of faith and focus more on faith in God and less on faith in their own talents and skills. This will be a year of increased faith. ? We are making a transition from earthly place to heavenly places; from leaning on the earth to making heaven's supplies ours. Just like when Jacob comes to the end of himself he wrestles with an angel and has his hips dislocated. After that he needed a staff. Later he blesses leaning on that same staff. ? Issues of death to self. Not giving up but surrendering to God! There'll be greater comprehension of divine sovereignty and grace. What the enemy meant for evil, God turned around for good. Some of us have been weak. 2 Co 1:9 “But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead.” But that weakness has become the ground for tapping into resources that aren't our but God's. ? I see God REPOSITIONING the advancing church. Greater visibility, authority, honour will come upon her. Neville Johnson says: “THE LORD HAS LAID A CORNERSTONE FOR A NEW KIND OF CHURCH. It is time for the Philadelphian church to come into manifestation in the earth and fruition in the earth. (The Faithful Church Rev 3:7-13)” ? I sense that many people in the advancing church are at cross-roads and would need to re-think some of their structures. They would especially need to embrace the demonstration of the Holy Spirit in miracles, healings, signs and wonders a little more. You would recall that God promises to send both the early and latter rain TOGETHER in the first month. ? There is a harvest coming in this year that would require a different way of seeing, and of doing things to enter into. ? We are in the season of transcendence. The supernatural has come to become our new normal. Issues like translocations, bilocation, immortality, angelic interactions, encounters of the god-kind, spirits of Just men made perfect, increased prophetic awareness, etc. are part of the landscape of the present time. This is the Sabbatical or Shemittah year 5775 on the Hebrew calendar. It is properly called Ayin Hey. Last year was Ayin Dalet. In it we saw the new kingdom realities, we saw the morning light of the Lamb, and we saw realities of the Age to come. Now this year we are being granted grace to step into these realities. And for that, the accurate action is rest; trust in God and absolutely faith, rest, peace, perfect stillness. (Be still and know that I am God. Psa. 46:10). The year 5775 has two 5s and two 7s. Number 5 is the number of grace and 7 speaks of God's rest. We speak of grace not just as unmerited favour but as God's ability at work within us. About Ernest: Ernest Paul is an emergent voice in this generation. Also a prophetic psalmist and teacher of God's word He heads the pastoral team of CentrePort Apostolic Centre, and coordinates COSAPP. Pst. Fanny Ekpekurede On the 1st of January 2015, after praying into the New Year, I slept off and I had a dream which I believe is a significant message from the Lord. In the dream I, Pastor Ernest Paul and others were in a hall, like a fellowship setting and I was ministering the word and Pastor Pastor Ernest Paul was looking at me intently. Then I said by the spirit, “We have stepped into the Effective Dimension of God!” When the words came forth, I began to ponder on the meaning of the phrase “effective dimension” and immediately I heard the scripture, “Now to Him that is able to DO exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us...TO FIND...” The Spirit began to minister to me that the effective dimension of God is the aspect of Him that does, performs or acts, He said that it is also that dimension of his mighty power that is already at work in us, I.e. God's power is effectively working in us, it's already at work and it will enable us TO FIND... When He said, “at work in us to find”, I was wondering what it meant and the Spirit said, “Most of the time we don't look or seek long enough to find.” Then I and Pastor Ernest Paul quoted, “...Seek and you will find…Narrow is the way which leadeth to life, and few there be that FIND it.” (Matt. 7: 7, 14). I looked up the word effective in the dictionary and saw that it means something that produces an expected result or an intended result. “I perceive the Lord is saying that we have stepped into a dimension where we will see the effective workings of His power in our lives, the aspect of God that causes things to happen or bring about performance has been activated in our lives.” We are in a season where God's mighty power will begin to bring forth and accomplish his purpose. I also heard the scripture, “For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the gentiles” (Gal. 2:8), I perceive that the Lord's mighty power has been activated to enable us accomplish God's purpose hands of performance has been stretched to us as a church, his counsel will stand, his purpose will be accomplished. About Fanny: Fanny Ekpekurede is the President and Founder of Christ Center, Sapele, Delta state, Nigeria. She is an emerging prophetic voice with a powerful Paul Iyare ? I saw the words “Promises” and “Fulfilment” written in the air. God is bringing about the fulfilment of promises made in times past; promises made in 2014 and the years before that are yet to be fulfilled will come to pass. The waiting is over; fulfilment has come! ? The lord laid it in my heart that 2015 is going to be a year of the supernatural. The time has come for us to embrace the supernatural, increase our inner capacities and change our wineskins to be able to muster enough faith to receive of the supernatural. There will be supernatural manifestations in 2015. About Paul: Paul Iyare is an emerging prophetic gift. He presently serves as the administrator of the CentrePort prophetic team and is directly responsible for Seer Monthly. In the company of a few believers, while praying for 2015 on the 30th of December, 2014, the Lord gave these words: ? Judgment is coming! On individual believers, I saw drilling implements making holes in the ground around us. Then I perceived that the Lord is going to be working on our foundations and causing a shaking (Heb. 12:26-27). Like a two-edged sword, He is simultaneously going to be judging our adversaries in 2015. Judgment is coming on the church, I saw a whirlwind run through the church i.e. the body of Christ. The time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God. Judgment is also coming on the government/political world of Nigeria. In December 2013, while we prayed for 2014, the Lord said there would be more deaths in 2014 and sadly, it came to pass. This time, He says the deaths will be more specific. God is bringing judgment upon political godfathers, persons who have stagnated and hindered the progress of this nation. Faith Ekwuonu While praying for Nigeria this year, I saw the country held on both sides by demonic spirits. I began to pray and break satanic strongholds and grips over Nigeria. Our country seriously needs prayers. We cannot afford to faint. Men ought always to pray and not faint. Also, we must be careful with the words we speak about Nigeria and our leaders. About Faith: Faith Ekwuonu is an intercessor and psalmist. She coordinates Christ Centre initiative for praying women in Obiaruku, and has a ministry to young girls. She resides in Delta, Nigeria. Kehinde Ojoawo ? On the 26th of December, 2014, I saw in a vision during the course of a meeting, a group of youths (males & females) being brought to a river bank, at the river bank there was an elderly man clothed in white bringing each into the river and washing these youths one after the other. As the washing was over there was a change of raiment. Then I heard a voice saying, “These are my inheritance and I will be jealous over my inheritance”. I perceive that the LORD is raising His interest in the youths more than ever before, bringing us into a new threshold of cleansing and purging that will make us to function in the capacity of the “new cloth” being given to us. I also desire that our ministries should be targeted towards the youth especially in secondary schools and higher institutions in the year 2015. ? In the month of October 2014, I saw in a vision of the night a palace setting where a meeting was going on and I saw a throne and he that sat on it was asking, “Where are the thrones?” At that instance, I found myself in another place on earth and the same voice was echoing, “Where is the throne, the landing spot for the king and a replicate of the heavenly throne? The king will be limited in operations in the absence of thrones.” All through that month, all I was hearing around me was 'Throne', 'Throne' and 'Throne'. I strongly belief that GOD wants to raise us up as thrones for HIM i.e. He desires us to become a platform for the expression of His majestic power in our region and over the nation. Certain things will not be done until a platform is provided. May the LORD grant us the wisdom in becoming a platform unto the Lord. unprecedented ways that the Holy Spirit sees fit to bless our generation with. ? ? We must not relent in our prayers for Nigeria and the president. ? ? Let us seek God for greater manifestation of throne forces and realities in our midst. ? Blessings ? In the third quarter of 2014, I had a dream in which I saw president Goodluck Jonathan being advised by some people perceived to be his advisers, as each of them advised the president, I could perceive that all the counsel giving to him on various issues of the nation were directly opposite of their intentions. Later I saw a Niger Delta Muslim militant, Asari Dokubo also advising the president on security matters with the same intentions as others, unfortunately the President could not discern their motive and intentions. So the President carried on as counselled and suddenly there was a coup led by Asari Dokubo, though the foot soldiers were outside, Dokubo was inside with the President, he was telling Jonathan to surrender to him and get his life spared. Initially Jonathan thought it was a joke but when the man began insisting, Mr. President looked bewildered and helpless. About Kehinde: Kehinde Ojoawo has a strong seer ministry. He resides in Abuja, Nigeria. Action Points from COSAPP: ? We must seek greater understanding of the rest of God and come to know Him in His Sovereignty. ? In Eph.1 Paul the apostle prays that the church would come to know 'what is the exceeding greatness of God's power operative in us who believe'. We must make this our quest. We must press to know God as the efficient cause of the universe. ? Let us pray earnestly for the release of great faith and all the range of supernatural manifestations found in the Bible, as well as those About Seer Monthly: Seer monthly is a prophetic journal of the Council of Seers and Prophetic People (COSAPP).
