Joel 2: 23:
New Living Translation
“Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem! Rejoice in the Lord
your God! For the rains he sends are an expression of his grace. Once more the
autumn rains will come, as well as the rains of spring.
King
James Version
“Be
glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath
given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you
the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.”
Contemporary English Version
“People of Zion, celebrate
in honour of the LORD your God! He is generous and has sent the Autumn and
Spring rains.”
Revised
Standard Version
“Be glad, O sons of Zion,
and rejoice in the LORD, your God; for he has given the Early rain for your
vindication, he has poured down for you Abundant rain, the Early and the Latter
rain, as before.”
Everyone who is a
child of God and of Jesus Christ please join me in thanking God. Please lift up
your voice with mirth in praises to God. Please do this because He has released
the SPRING RAIN.
The LATTER RAIN is pouring forth now. The
SPRING RAIN DISPENSATION according to God’s calendar and plan is here – it has
come. It is the last before the close of the farming season and thus the last
before the close of the Age.
Church of God, child of God, Minister of
God, if you have been waiting or expecting the Power, the Anointing, the
Blessings and Angelic visitations OF OLD I make bold to declare to you by the
Spirit of God that the One who made the Heaven and Earth has released it. Rejoice
and be glad!
What we have been anticipating
earnestly has been released in DOUBLE MEASURE!
“Instead
of your shame you shall have a DOUBLE PORTION; instead of dishonour you shall rejoice in your lot; therefore in your land
you shall possess a DOUBLE PORTION; yours shall be everlasting joy” Isaiah 61:7 (RSV).
Rejoice! Rejoice Church of God, Rejoice
people of God; it is here with us now. Consider
the testimony below of Ben Bernard of Gereja, in far
away Malaysia and run with this Knowledge and Grace: “Recently, the Lord began
to speak to my son (15 years old) Joshua about Bishop David Oyedepo through
dreams and open visions. The Lord told him about the new assignment He gave to
the Bishop concerning A GREAT REAWEKENING THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE IN THE WORLD.
Based on these revelations and impartation from the books (Bishop’s books), the
Lord instructed us to embark on a journey to Africa to see the Bishop. So, we
obeyed. One of the things the Lord told us to say to him was concerning the new
place of double portion He was about to take him to, which was backed up with JOEL 2: 23. God repeated DOUBLE PORTION continuously and I could hear
clearly that IT WAS TIME FOR THE SPRING RAIN” (Culled from a news letter Encounter
with Destiny through Books by Bishop David Oyedepo, 2013).
What is the Spring rain for? It is for the Great Reawakening or the Global
Harvest and for the spreading of the Cities
of God with the presence of God that is on the verge.
And these shall be the result of the Spring
rain in the House of God and among the peoples of God:
“The threshing floors will again be piled
high with grain, and the presses will overflow with wine and olive oil” Joel
2: 24 (NLT).
“Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through
prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and
shall yet choose Jerusalem” Zechariah 1: 17 (KJV).

Rain (First or Autumn) & Latter Rain (Spring).
Its presence denotes God’s favour and its absence denotes God’s
displeasure.
Deut. 11: 13 – 17, Job 29: 23, Prov. 16: 15, Jer. 3: 3; 5: 24, Hosea
6: 3, Zech. 10: 1, James 5: 7.
O’ Lord thank you for Raining down the
Anointing and Blessings.
Keep the Flag flying and the Oil burning. Maran'atha!
