2016 – YEAR OF THE KING’S DELIGHT – DIVINE DISPLAY

Welcome into Year 2016, the Year of the King’s Delight – the Year of Divine Display!

The King’s Delight

Welcome into Year 2016! Everything about this year is first about the King of kings than about you and I. To enjoy the best of 2016, obtaining His delight and pleasing the King must be your priority. The King’s Delight must become your utmost desire, so that He can accomplish His counsel of displaying His Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honour, Glory and Blessings in your life (Rev.5:12). Only in His pleasure can you define your placement, discover your purpose, and fulfil your destiny.

Joshua and Caleb, the two champions of faith knew the power of divine DELIGHT. They declared before Israel: “If the LORD DELIGHT in us, then He will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey” (Num.14:8). Friend, by God’s prophetic Word, His DELIGHT is ushering us into a Year “which floweth with milk and honey.” Will you believe the good Report of the Lord or the evil reports daily bombarding your senses? By Faith, I CHOOSE to believe the Lord and His Prophetic Word (2 Chr. 20:20).

Chapters 22, 23 and 24 of the book of Numbers record the account of how the adversaries of God’s people – Balak and the Moabites – were determined to curse and consume them, by hiring the Prophet Balaam. As much as Balaam tried to invoke evil upon Israel, the Spirit of God put words in his mouth, that he rained blessings rather than curses upon God’s people. Ultimately Balaam declared his dilemma: “How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? Or how shall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied?” (23:8). Hear the words of the Great King concerning Israel:

God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good? Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and He hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the SHOUT OF A KING is among them. (Num.23:19-21).

The same prophetic words are proceeding from the heart of Jehovah for as many as would believe. All that the Lord has said concerning you and yours shall be accomplished this year. All that He has spoken concerning your lives and destinies shall be “made good”! By the Word of the Lord, divine commandments have been received and released for your blessings. The blessings of the Almighty upon you and yours shall never be reversed. Even though the enemy stands at the side-line to condemn the Redeemed, the Righteousness of Jesus is shouting: “God has not beheld iniquity in Jacob; neither has He seen perverseness in Israel.” The KING’s SHOUT is among His people! The KING’s DELIGHT is in our midst in 2016. Iniquity will not be found in Zion. Sin shall not have dominion over us. May we never have reason to detract from the King’s delight into destruction in Jesus name.

This shall be my testimony and yours in this Year of the King’s Delight and Divine Display: Surely there is NO ENCHANTMENT against Jacob, neither is there any DIVINATION against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! (Num. 23: 23).

The King’s Delight secures and defends our destinies against every enchantment and divination! Numbers 24:1 reveals that “it pleased the Lord to bless Israel.” God chose to delight in His people. I pray for you this year: the Lord will delight in you. On the authority of the Blood of Jesus His Son – if you believe – the Almighty God will remain pleased to bless you.

Divine Display

“…it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” The Kings’ Delight will provoke His DIVINE DISPLAY! God wants to demonstrate and display diverse dimensions of His Glory in 2016.

• “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him…” (2 Chr.16:9).
• “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him” (1 Cor. 2:9).

The dimensions of Divine Display are diverse and unlimited, but Revelations 5: 12 provides a glimpse for our human comprehension. God’s Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honour, Glory, Blessings and much more shall be displayed in the lives of as many as seek His delight and who delight in Him. Over the next twelve months, God’s Spirit will unravel these mysteries by His Prophetic Unction!

Friend, I counsel you to reciprocate the King’s Delight. You must also choose to delight in Him Who delights in you. The testimonies of Scriptures will release the keys to the King’s Delight:

• And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams (1 Sam. 15:22). The key of OBEDIENCE to godly INSTRUCTIONS.
• But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night (Psa. 1: 2).

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: (Rom. 7: 22). The key of MEDITATION in the WORD.

• Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart (Psa. 37: 4). Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it (Isa.58: 14). These speak of the Key of LOVING HIS PRESENCE.
• The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is His delight (Pro. 15:8). The key of PRAYER of the Upright.
• When a man's ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him (Pro.16:7). The key of MAKING HIS WAYS YOUR WAYS.
• That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; (Col.1:10). The key of a WORTHY WALK.
• But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him (Heb. 11:6). The key of FAITH in God.
• Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen (Heb. 13: 20-21). The key of the WILL of God.

It is upon this foundation of revelation that we at the Kingdom Capstone Outreach Ministry (KCOM) stand firm, in furthering the cause of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ – the King of kings, Lord of lords, Prince of Peace, Lamb of God, Word of God and the eternal I AM!

God’s Word for NIGERIA

Last year 2015, the Lord inspired us to pray that NIGERIA be redeemed out of all her troubles (Psa. 25:22) and from the hands of all her ‘troublers ’, that He would trouble the ‘troublers’ of Nigeria, confuse their tongues, and confound their schemes. Praise God, we are witnesses to the efficacy of answered prayers as His Axe of Judgement remains busy at the roots of every evil tree of corruption, until they are totally uprooted and consumed!

As the saints intensify intercession in this year 2016, in addition to our nation partaking of the blessings of the Kings’ Delight and Divine Display, these are God’s specific prophetic assurances:

“For the Kingdom is the Lord’s: and He is the Governor among the nations” (Psa.22: 28); and “…the government shall be upon His Shoulder…” (Isa.9:6).

Even as we obey the injunction of 1 Timothy 2:1-2 to pray for our political and other leaders, our trust and confidence is not in them, but in the Living God. Praise God, by our fervent intercession, the GOVERNANCE of Nigeria is hereby entrusted to the SUPREME GOVERNOR – KING JESUS. Nigeria will not fail, fall or falter. The GOVERNMENT of Nigeria securely rests upon His Shoulder; it shall not fall off. The destiny of Nigeria will not be hijacked by the bondage of corruption or forces of evil. The GOVERNOR over Nigeria will command the hearts of Nigeria’s President and other prime leaders and decision makers at all levels, because: “The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever He will” (Pro. 21: 1). Under His governance and by His wisdom, our leaders will reign and dispense justice, for righteousness to exalt our nation (Pro.8: 15; 14:34).

Thus says the Lord: “The King’s DELIGHT will lead Nigeria into DISCOVERIES that would ENHANCE and help to DEFEND and RE-DEFINE her destiny for the best.” I do not see the doom or destruction of Nigeria. I see the DISPLAY of the KING’s DELIGHT upon our dear Nation. The Lord of hosts will silence every rumour or rumble of war. This is the Voice of the Lord. His purposes shall never be defeated!
