Who Is The Man of History?

Who Is The Man of History and Where Does He Stand?

Is he not the one who suffered persecution, starvation, loss, oppression and depression?

Is he not the one who witnessed every form of injustice carried out in the name of justice, liberty and fraternity?

Is he not the one who persevered through moments of tragedy, humiliation and degradation of human dignity?

Is he not the one who asked himself and God above if all this whirlwind of a life has any meaning and was worth the pain and the tribulations?

The man of history will stand before the throne of God and testify to what he has done, is doing and will do.

He shall be held accountable to God and to all that he was, is and will be.

The man of history will not justify the evil nature of man. Neither will he claim credit for all the greatness of his fellow man's ingenious works of art, literature and science, both past and present.

The man of history is not the humanist who puts himself and mankind on a pedestal and anoints himself as the master of destiny.

The man of history has seen everything that mankind has created and is not impressed nor fulfilled as there is no meaning to all the good and evil in this world wihout a sovereign God.

If everything and the end of history is but a dice thrown by the hands of chance, then eternity is just a memorial to the past, a tombstone in the museum of posterity for future generations to walk past.

The man of history is not afraid to ask the impossible question to himself and his fellowman.

What is the meaning of life and where will we go after death?

He seeks answers beyond the scope of science and the intellectual boundaries of human reasoning.

The man of history humbles himself before God and embraces the grace and mercies of his Creator God without whom he is but mere dust that returns to dust.

The man of history is above nationality and culture and he knows the schemes of the devil to exploit man's primitive fear of those who are different from him in the form of racism, nationalism, tribalism and family blood ties.

The man of history stands humbly before the Judge, the Defender and the Prosecutor. He is ready to give account of himself with reference to the divine plans that have been woven in his redeemed spirit to love and obey God with all his heart, body and mind.

Where does the man of history stand in the perspective of the world? Is he not a caricature of a good-hearted idealist who suffered for nothing?

The man of history stands tall before a dying world shaken by storms and mounting catastrophes which presages the judgement of God on man's lot.

Prophectic Warnings Unfolded for Malaysia Following Twin Airline Tragedies

Prophetic Word For Malaysia


(this Word of God was given to 2 Kenyan pastors years before 2014. Although they did not prophecy two airplane tragedies that stuck the hearts of Malaysians and all world citizens, they prophecied a time of grave danger facing Malaysia.)


VERY IMPORTANT!


PROPHETIC WORD FOR MALAYSIA: RELEASED BY PASTOR JULIUS SUUBI AND PASTOR FRANCIS AMETA FROM KENYA.


The Intercessors at the 24/7 Prayer House in Kenya have been fasting and praying for Malaysia since the 5 January, 2010 for 40 days. There was a very, very strong burden for Malaysia and during their intercession there was much weeping and crying out for this nation. The following is the message they received from the Lord for Malaysia:


Malaysia is at a very important crossroads. The Lord says that He has been so faithful to the nation of Malaysia. He has protected Malaysia in 3 areas:


1. The principalities over Malaysia have tried to cause racial dissension. Feelings were stirred in the hearts of the people to rise up for destruction but because of God’s grace, He has prevented this destruction from happening.


2. God has protected Malaysia from natural calamities when the surrounding regions have been hit by such disasters.


3. God has protected the church. Seeing that you are in a Muslim land, the church has a high measure of freedom thus far. Many times the enemy has tried to come up to close in on the church but God has not permitted it.


God’s faithfulness and favor towards Malaysia is not because the Church has been praying. In fact, the Church in Malaysia has entered into a comfort zone. The Church is so contented and so comfortable and in slumber. There is prayerlessness in the church and she is not carrying the burden that God has for the “cousins” in the land. Most of the prayers that take place in the churches are personal prayers but not a burden for the nation and the lost.


 Warning from the Lord:


The veil of protection over Malaysia is slowly giving way over this land. The heavens over Malaysia have already begun to close.


The burning of the churches is but a tip of the ice-berg of what the enemy is wanting to do over this nation. There is a looming judgment waiting to take place over this land if intercessors do not arise.


Teaching on Abraham pleading for Sodom & Gomorrah by Julius Suubi.


Abraham prayed for Sodom & Gomorrah but his prayers could not deliver the cities. His prayers alone could not prevent the judgment of God upon the cities. Abraham was not living in Sodom & Gomorrah. The people of the land themselves need to arise to intercede for their own land.
Unfortunately, there was no one in the land who took up the burden to pray for their cities and the cities were destroyed.


Application to Malaysia:


Only the prayers of the people in Malaysia can deliver their land. This burden has to be taken up by the Malaysians themselves. They have to arise to pray for their land, cry out to God, influence the people and to tell them that the nation is at an important crossroads. Tell the people that the next 5 years is so very important. They either arise to a very, very powerful revival or slide in the other way.

God’s will is for Malaysia to rise up to her destiny (being a “Rainbow Nation”) and for a great revival to sweep through this land. Our brothers from other nations are just here to help us “PUSH”. They are like “midwives” to help the Malaysian Church push until they see the baby born (the destiny of Malaysia). The Malaysian Church has to pray and intercede to open the heavens over Malaysia. To see revival, we need the heavens to be open. Prayer will open the heavens. The enemy will try to hinder our prayers but we must persevere and pray until we see the revival.


Teaching on Altars by Pastor Julius Suubi


In times of judgment, people were to raise up altars to reverse the effects, to bring about healing for the land. There are 4 altars that need to be raised up at a time like this:


1. Personal altar: We are the temple of the Holy Spirit for the Holy Spirit indwells us. We need to activate our personal altar. We need to pray everyday. Develop your personal prayer life. Pray at least one hour a day. Jesus asked his disciples, “Could you not tarry with me one hour?”


2. Family altar: Husband, wife, children need to gather together to pray. We need to establish the family altar. Exercise authority over your household in problem areas. When men break faith with their wives, there is no family altar and this has great impact upon the children (Malachi 2:13-16). Family prayers will affect your neighbours and neigbourhood as well.


3. Church altar: My house shall be called a House of Prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7). The strength of the church is not measured by how many members, how much money or how powerful the pastor is.


It is measured by how strong the prayer life of the individuals in the church. Very few people at the prayer meetings, a common sight in our churches. Prayer meeting is for everyone, not just certain groups of people. God wants to establish the Territorial Church (territorial altar) in the city to impact the city. There needs to be a unity among the churches in the area or city. The territorial church can deal with the principality over the area and thus have great impact over the area or city. If all cities have territorial altars then every city will begin to experience transformation.


4. National altar: People from the various territories or regions that have set up their altars will need to gather together to form the national altar. The prayers that rise from the national altar will greatly impact the nation.


Finally, let’s take heed of God’s Word concerning watchmen who are not doing the work of watchmen.


God has called us to be watchmen on the wall, to warn the people of impending judgment or danger. Let us not be like the watchmen as described in Isaiah 56:9-12. If we are like watchmen who are blind and dogs that cannot bark or shepherds who lack understanding, then the “beasts of the field…… the beast of the forest” will come and devour our land! Take heed, Church in Malaysia!!!! The Lord has spoken through his prophets (Amos 3:7).

A Parable for Selangor: The Farmer & The Hired Man

There once lived an old rich farmer who owned a large farm. He had a young son whom he bequeathed the major part of his entire estate with the balance going to some relatives. One day the old man passed away and the young man did not know how to manage the farm.
 
So he hired an experienced farmer to take care of the farming and the livestock. After some years, the farm prospered under the hired hand. And the young man trusted his farmer. After giving him a three year mandate to manage the farm, the young man left the country for 3 years to study abroad.
 
But in the 3rd year, due to some internal disputes, the hired farmer fired almost all his workers and took over the profits of the farm to be safeguarded for certain relatives who were left out of the old landlord's will.
 
When the young master came back, he was shocked about the fraud and betrayal. He filed a report against the hired man but to no avail as the district police said it was a private business matter. Some of the young owner's friends advised him, before going through the legal channels, to talk to and reason out with the hired man. This he tried but the hired man claimed he had the support of the majority of the relatives. What is he to do? Will the courts and justice system administer justice for him?
 
As a parable, therein lies the crux of the Selangor crisis:
 
The Menteri Besar is an elected representative (hired hand) elected by the ruling party coalition PR which won the state elections.
 
The  young man and his relatives (heirs to the estate) are the citizens of Selangor who provide the tax revenues of the state.
 
Morally, ethically and politically speaking, the MB who has fired his ex-co and refused to leave his position has taken over the rights of administration of the state against the mandate given by the real stake holders (the residents of Selangor).
 
He may have the judiciary or any powerful party implicitly supporting him on 'technical grounds' but he has lost all moral, ethical, professional integrity because he has undermined/subverted the mandate entrusted to him.

Is he willing to trade these qualities for being the man who turned his back on his original stakeholders for personal reasons? There is still time for him and all players concerned to reconsider how to resolve this reverse takeover of the people's rights.
 
Money and power will only last a generation and the power-seeking players will be truly vilified in the history books (and the eyes of God). But noble values acted upon with wisdom last forever. Malaysia's future as a young and vibrant multi-ethnic democracy stands in the balance.
