Elijah felt that he was alone and that the battle he is to face was bigger than He actually can take on and conquer. This led to him hiding in the cave, thinking that he was the only one left.
In the same passage of scripture, God showed up and whispered to him and instructed him of three things namely to go back and finish the task at hand - anoint the new kings to carry on His plans and Elisha, to carry on His ministry.
In the same scenario, I believe we are coming into a crucial time of history wherein the lieutenants of the kingdom will rise up with the generals of the seasons.
The season for the messengers have arrived. Just like in the spring before fall, we already sensed the coming of the new age when God will unction a new generation of messengers in the last days.
In the words of Joel and the apostles, these will be the young men and women who are called by the Lord to rise up and speak in the last days. The will be unconventional yet running together with their fathers as wisdom runs from the heads to the sons in the house.
In such a season such as this, there seems to be a select few whom I felt the Lord has led to forerun this calling. A friend of mine started doing Facebook lives and sharing sermons like it was just in front of his growing congregation. My brother having to meet some old and new friends to discuss matters of the faith. I have started writing again and shared a couple of encouragement through my video posts and people are responding.
Can this be the season where the forerunners will now be unveiled and be seen as they take on the mantle of their spiritual fathers?
I sense in my heart that God has now aligned and is showing our fathers what’s the next steps are. The sons of the house must start preparing as they receive a new mandate and begin to move on the destiny God has for them.
Our prayers as forerunners is to see a generation whose hearts and minds are aligned with their fathers and with the Holy Spirit and move mightily for the days ahead!
