PROPHETIC PERSPECTIVE IN ENGAGING THE NEW SEASON OF CHANGE.

BY ISAIAH-PHILLIPS AKINTOLA

As we stand on the threshold of a new season of change, both as individuals, the Church, or as a nation, it’s crucial to grasp the significance of our response. Our first step is to delve into the nature of these changes and their potential impact on us. This requires a profound understanding, insight, and foresight of heaven’s intention, which is often encapsulated in the concept of a well-mature prophetic spirit.

What is a prophetic spirit? A prophetic spirit manifests the thoughts or intentions of the Spirit of Christ in relation to a specific goal or perspective. It reveals the Father’s desires and purposes regarding upcoming events or situations. The prophetic spirit also provides guidance on how to address or navigate these events or conditions while establishing God’s will.

The prophetic gift is a valuable tool, not just for building the Lord’s divine intention within a particular season but also for guiding and assisting us to navigate through changing times and providing clarity on the nature and dynamics of the season. Just as the sons of Issachar were equipped for their time, we, too, need to be well-prepared and equipped for the leadership transformation ahead, enabling us to stay calm, focused, and steadfast in our responsibilities.

A new season is upon us, ushering in winds of change. How should we respond as leaders during this transitional period? First, we must deeply understand the nature of this change and its potential ramifications on our roles and organizations. This is where the profound gift of the prophetic becomes invaluable.

The prophetic is not just a spiritual gift but a practical tool that provides discernment and revelation, illuminating the core dynamics at play in a changing landscape. Like the sons of Issachar, celebrated for their understanding of the times, we, too, must cultivate prophetic insight to navigate this shift in leadership effectively. The prophetic equips us to precisely read the new season’s signals, tendencies, and undercurrents, enabling us to make informed decisions and strategic adjustments.

With prophetic foresight, we can remain grounded yet adaptable, discerning how to apply timeless principles in new contexts. We gain clarity on which traditions to uphold and which boundaries to re-draw. The prophetic reveals potential pitfalls to avoid and opportunities to seize. It brings forth wisdom on the right timing for certain actions and the ideal sequencing of initiatives.

Rather than being caught off-guard or paralyzed by change, the prophetic instills a calm confidence in leaders. It focuses our energy on strategic pivots while anchoring us in our core purpose and values. Prophetic insight enhances our situational awareness, allowing us to remain poised and focused amidst swirling changes.

As we embark on this new season of leadership transformation, the prophetic gift is indispensable. It provides the eyes to see, the ears to hear, and the spiritual sensitivity to respond adroitly. Pursued wholeheartedly, the prophetic will be our compass through uncharted waters.

Understanding these three crucial perspectives is key to navigating life effectively.

1. The first is the recognition that we inhabit a dynamic involving world. This implies that no situation, condition, or relationship is permanent. The key is to be adaptable; when change arrives, we should be well-prepared to embrace it, regardless of the potential losses or gains; we should never develop a mindset that where we are is a permanent bus stop.

2. Seasons change, and when this change occurs, they demand we undress to wear the suitable gear and attire required for the new season. Often, the new season selects our food diets; taste buds must adjust. Sometimes, Lingual is also required to change. The beauty or relevance of education is that it aligns us to engage the environment we are about to step into correctly.

As it is said, the world is changing faster than we can hold our breath; education, therefore, should prepare us not only to know how to engage this new horizon but also to become effective, relevant players. The new day or era we are stepping into should not be handled ignorantly; it is designed to make us proficient and effective in engaging the direction our lives should follow.

3. Lastly, we need to be optimistic. This means looking towards the new things that are coming, having a desire, a perspective, and a longing for the new. It’s a good, healthy way of viewing life and advancing God’s purposes for our lives.

A season has just ended for this nation while a new one is being ushered in. It needs both men and women who have been trained with the finest of kingdom knowledge, insight, and wisdom, equipped for such a time as this, like the sons of Issachar and the company of Debrah, to steer the ship beyond the current browning storm. We are not mere spectators but active participants in this prophetic journey.

Let’s not make the mistake that they just concluded that the South African election was not about the electorate. It was never about the wishes of the people. It was never about the corporate advancement or progressive advancement of the nation. The election was about scoring points. I’m making certain points that speak to tribal and regional battles a reality; yes, coming, sorry, just.

We need the courageous spirit of the highly governmental priesthood who can stand in the gap on behalf of the nation, as we saw with Moses on the top of the mountain. At the same time, he was being supported by Aaron and Hur as Joshua and his men continued to fight the Amalekites in the valley realities of the unfolding events.

For those who perceive the unfolding events in SA as mere political exercises, it’s crucial to recognize that the transformation of the nation’s political landscape is not a myopic analysis. South Africa, a key player in continental and global economies, holds a strategic position that makes its political allegiance a matter of global significance. Today, we witness divine dynamics at play, necessitating a precise understanding to provide a prophetic analysis of the era we’ve entered.
Several events taking place across the globe today, but in particular in South Africa, are part of a larger global reset and reordering that must be understood in the context of a power shift in the hegemony of global leadership.

It’s no secret that South Africa is venturing into uncharted political territory, a transition that demands the utmost wisdom and courage. This tectonic political shift calls for a mature prophetic leadership that can discern and effectively communicate the divine will to the masses and their leaders. Managing this moment is a requirement that cannot be taken for granted. The purpose and Counsel of the Lord still stand for a people who will not stop {hoping} carrying for a change in the true spirit of prayers and intercession.

This message is not about an election, but rather it is about God revealing His eternal purposes and plan to the people of the earth. The fulfillment of the Lord’s will among both the blind and the sighted in these last days is inevitable. The Lord will come forth from Zion, and the nations will be drawn to the radiance of His presence. This message is like the handwriting on the wall for those with understanding, signaling the impending collapse of all human ideologies and philosophies as His kingdom prepares to manifest among mortal men.

Great prophetic fulfillment, like what we’re presently witnessing, requires great calibration of sight and capacity. The release of generational prophetic purpose requires great resistance from the kingdom of darkness. Those who suffer from religious shortsightedness actually think the present political drama in South Africa has to do with the policies of the conservative and the liberal Democrats. What we have seen so far is a politics of personalities and camps.

Far beyond the political policy of a party, God sees his purpose and counsel, and whoever is available to bring that prophetic purpose to the fold becomes the agent of his release.
if we don’t ask the Lord for a mature prophetic eye to see into the agendas Heaven desires to birth, we will end up confused and dancing to the narrative of certain forces outside the boundary of this prophetic shift

How do we know the vessel the Lord has set aside for his counsel in the context of a matter within a nation or society? Only those who are followers of the Lamb wherever he goes can tell of his will for the people. GOD IS NOT A POLITICIAN! To see things from the limited carnal human sight is complete blindness as kingdom citizens.

This is the day of the Lord, and He is doing a new thing, and this new thing is presently springing forth in a powerful, authoritative way. Brethren, it is the dawning of a new day on the earth; how ready are you? How prepared are you and your community for the coming of the Lord? The Lord is coming out of Zion to reign through his apostolic {nation} community.

Saints of the Lord, rise up and take your place:

1 Kings 17:1 17:1 now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.” NIV A people are rising with increase proclamation of wisdom and dominion to show forth the praises of their God in a new way like never before.

Out of the darkness covering the earth, we are mandated to arise and shine forth His light by giving HIS LIFE to people who have been chained {enslaved} and impoverished in their mentality for a long time. This is the time for the Church of the Lord to arise from her blindness and crippled state. It’s time to ascend into the realm of glory in order to receive healing upon her wings for the reformation and restoration of the nations.

A new order of apostolic governmental people with precise prophetic sight and grace are emerging with power and authority to lead out a generation of people enslaved in the house of Pharaoh and the system of Babylon. We are not victims of change; rather, we prophetically participate in an active accelerated change both in the cosmic and the cosmos because we have a standing before the Lord.

The breaking of the seal of truth opens the eyes of all who have been waiting on the Lord for divine illumination in the days of regeneration. New Wine in new wineskin represents the template and philosophy of existence in a new world-order government where the difference between truth and lie becomes almost impossible to identify in a world whose values have been captured and neutralized by humanistic culture and philosophy.

Two orders of the system seek expression within the soul of nations, and only the strongest can capture and set the standard for values and morals. The order of darkness and light is presently being played out in the values and standards people, nations, and communities represent.

As we approach the seasons of consummation of all things, we who have been given the sole mission and assignment of preparing the way of the Lord and making his path straight within the core social system of human life should bear in mind that the season and timing of the Lord’s will come with no natural announcements.

Whatever we see in nature no longer carries potent prophetic values because it has already manifested. That which has appeared is no longer tied to hope because it has become visible. The ability to remain refined and fine-tuned to the heavenly bandwidth keeps our spirit on track to the Lord’s requirement for the day.

The days of the emergence of kingdom truth are here, and we need to bind our waists to this present kingdom truth to overcome the enemy’s accusation. The panorama all around us clearly shows that we have stepped into another season pregnant with prophetic activities desiring vessels of expression.

How do you view the world you live in today? What do you sense about the present political change taking place within South Africa and across the globe? What is your role and mine in all things spiritual and phenomenal? We must take a keen interest in our prophetic agenda to know where we are presently. God is busy speaking to us and we can’t afford to turn deaf ears to his voice.
