Topic: By
Whom Shall Jacob Arise?
Preacher:
Pastor Wole Daniels
Text: Amos 7:1-2- Thus
hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed
grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo,
it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
2 And it came
to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I
said, O Lord God, forgive, I
beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small
From our
anchor scripture, the swarm of locusts will come in after the king has taken
his on portion of the harvest. So, more or less there isn't any left over.
Facts to
note:
1.
There is a king who takes first
i.e. the best (evil kings)
2. Latter growth is something that
may or may not come, whereas there is a king who has taken the best at the
beginning.
3.
Locusts are insects that finish
whatsoever they stumble upon
4. Locust are powers that consume
to a level where a man is not able to rise after the first portion has been
taken away.
5.
There is also another time
{i.e. the beginning of the latter growth}.
6. The enemy prepares locusts to
what is coming up. They can be likened to powers ordained to make an end of
one's life.
What are Spiritual Locusts?
1.
Household Witchcraft
2.
Unfriendly Friends
3.
Envious Colleagues
4.
Demonic Neighbours
Signs
of the Operations of the Locusts
1. Prayerlessness- When God wants
to help a person, He gives the individual a spirit of prayer to break doors.
Therefore, whenever your prayer life is been attacked, know your breakthrough
is close.
2.
Careless Living
3.
Love of the World (sinful life)
* The enemy
knows they cannot attack a child of God until they break his/her defense. They
make the individual to break his/her defense through sins, so the serpent can
bite.
Way
Out
1.
Repent and give your life to Christ.
2.
Draw closer to God deliberately.
3.
Submit yourself to God's plan
i.e don’t stuggle with God
4.
Take your eyes off Men i.e
focus on God
5.
Ask for prevalence in the place
of Prayer.
