WATCHMAN CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC RENEWAL MOVEMENT
FIRST FRUIT FASTING FELLOWSHIP 2025 (DECEMBER EDITION) Day 1
Theme: THE KING IS COMING
Texts: Ps. 24:7-9; Dan.2:40-45
This is the last first fruits fasting exercise for the year of Juggling in Jubilee terrain and naturally speaking, we should have ended it with a praise session, but the Lord is leading us into a different mode viz intercessory prayers.
Our texts relay the glorious proclamation that will attend the coming of the Messiah mirrored by the announcement that preceeded the conveyance of the Ark of the Covenant in the time of King David. Then Daniel captured the prophetic dream of Nebuchadnezzar relaying the coming of the Messiah to put down all human rebellion and by extension dispossess Satan (Zech. 14:1-6, Jud. 14, Rev. 19:11-21).
We have earlier seen the coming King as Judge of all (Acts 10:42; 2 Tim.
4:1). He is coming back as the Lion (not Lamb) of the tribe of Judah (Rev.
5:5). As the Express Image of the Father, He delights in
loving-kindness, righteousness and Judgment or Justice (Jer. 9:24; Heb. 1:3).
We shall stand on these attributes of loving-kindness, righteousness and Justice to call on His intervention.
Topic: TO THE KING BELONGS MERCIES
Subtexts: Ezk. 2:1-10; Dan. 9:2-9
The word mercies came from the Hebrew
Racham meaning
compassion. It expresses a deep and tender feeling of compassion such as is aroused by the sight of weakness or suffering in those who are dear to us or need our help.
Daniel, Ezekiel and Jeremiah were contemporaries that lived at the time of the judgment of Judah. Prophet Jeremiah had prophesied about the 70 years captivity of the people (Jer.25:11,12), and Ezekiel who became a prophet while in exile was shown the coming calamity (Ezek.2:10); Daniel got a revelation of the fulfilment of Jeremiah’s prophecy, and did the needful (Dan.9:3).
Brethren, the Watchmen warned the nation of the impending divine judgment in 1993 with the message
“when judgment is determined what should the people do?”
Today, we see the evidence of the divine judgment: the paradox of poverty in the land with super abundant resources. Should we keep quiet and say it serves them right? Definitely not as we are being affected, and. Prophet Elisha’s experience is equally instructive. (2Kgs.6:29-33; 7:1).
We must arise and plead like Moses (Num.16:42-48) and like Daniel, since we can see that God’s people are also being affected by the grinding economy and the rapacious monsters fuelling the escalating insecurity. The Lord Jesus, the coming King is the embodiment of compassion. During His earthly ministry He couldn’t ignore the sight or voice or the desperately needy (Matt. 9:35,36, 14:13,14, 15:32, 20:30-34; Jn. 11:35). Even the thought of what would befall a stubborn generation broke Him into tears (Lk. 13:34-35, 19:41).
The Lord’s expression of compassion for late friend was a silent cry, the shedding of tears (Greek: dakruo); but that of Jerusalem was a loud wail, crying as a child (Greek: Klaiō).
The same compassion that He expressed while a Human can be stirred up through prayers, to act not as a lamb but as a Lion (Heb. 13:8; Acts 9:4-6; Zech. 14:1-9
We must therefore rise to plead for God’s mercies and request for the emergence of the awaited New Nigeria where no man is oppressed. (in God’s configuration)
