• To be the one the Lord's calling for in these last and evil days,

• that He's faithful to His promise, He made long time ago.


• Chorus

• He's coming back again.

• Yes, He's coming back again.

• Glory hallelujah, bless His name and lift Him up;

• praise God, He's coming back again


• Verse 2

• He told us not worry, but that He had to go away,

• and while He was away, He would be building us a place.

• When the time was right, might be morning, noon, or night,

• He would come back and He's gonna take us there.


• Chorus

• He's coming back again.

• Yes, He's coming back again.

• Glory hallelujah, bless His name and lift Him up;

• praise God, praise God;

• hallelujah, hallelujah.


• Ending

• Glory hallelujah,

• bless His name and lift Him up;

• praise God, He's coming back again,

• Praise God, He's coming back again,

• (I'm keeping my business straight),

• Praise God, He's coming back again.

The Real Question?

• When we pray especially for the government and the nation what we really praying for?

• Who or what is He coming back for?

• He is not coming back for nigeria or a great country or an economy that works!

The Law of Intuition: Discernment Comes Before Decision


• One of the more popular passages in 1 Chronicles is found in chapter 12.

• The sons of Issachar are there described as men who “had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do” (v. 32).

• What a description of the Law of Intuition! Before Israel made a decision, they got discernment.

The sons of Issachar understood three key factors:

• 1. The culture: They u n d e r s t o o d t h e population and the place where they lived.

• 2 . The t im ing : They understood the times and discerned when to move.

• 3. The strategy: They knew what Israel ought to do, the steps that should be taken.

How about you? Are you a “son of Issachar”?

• Do you understand your culture —its trends, its myths, its strengths, its dangers?

• (Selfishness, greed and corruption and the do what? Concept)

• Do you understand the age in which you’re living —its tenor and general movement?

• (Timing is important to God, Jesus time for coming was strategic)

• And do you have a strategy to grapple with both the culture and the times?

• ( the steps that need to be taken even in your life and business)

Concluding thoughts


• 32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

• Psalms 119:130

• 130 The entrance of thy words g i v e t h l i g h t ; i t g i v e t h understanding unto the simple.

Men of Issachar were men who the word had entrance into

• The word was designed to make us successful

• If we put off the light now darkness would enter and cover the good and the bad and if we put on the light it illuminates the good and the bad.

• Light is not restricted to the person who has it and illuminates the whole nation

Darkness that can be felt in exodus

• Darkness that has affected our nation, it's the impact of the darkness that we are feeling in the economy and around us.

• Yet there was l ight in Goshen but the Egyptians didn't go to Goshen for light that's why it's been all about people that need the Gospel and when they c h a n g e , t h e n a t i o n changes!

We know what we ought to do then!!!

• Our anniversary theme was carefully chosen to be fruitful not fruitfulness because of the way we postpone what God is doing and what He has done in our lives and declare a new year as my year of.......

• H e r e t h e y h a d understanding & know what to do

• Do We Know Who We Are?

• Israel knows who it is through its God Covenant. It was no na t i on un t i l God Chose Abraham and separated them from the rest of the world and brought them to Himself.

• A Jew knows he is the head and not the tail. After the Holocaust they arrived in America penny less but today own and control the economy of the United States

• They know who their God and Covenant is and they are are!


• W e m u s t s t a r t t o believe like this thar we have understanding and know what we ought to do as a nation, a people, a business, a ministry or a family.

• I t c h a n g e s t h e dynamics of our faith, our belief.


• And when we realign our values we would make incredible choices and decisions for this nation, family and even people we don't know!

• Right Belief + Good Values = Great Choices + Right Actions

• your life is a sum of all your choices
