Let the rains come

GREETINGS, beloved nation. 2 Chronicles 7:14 states, “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

When we talk about healing, we refer to an entity that was once healthy, which means the land can become sick. Anything that can become sick is a living entity and therefore has the ability to take instructions. According to the Scriptures, the earth is a living organism. If the earth can be sick, then only that which is sick can be healed. We see that the land is a living organism: it hears, it produces and it takes instructions.

When we read in the book of Genesis 1, when God created everything, He said, ‘He saw that it was good.’ When the first Adam fell, he fell together with creation. Remember, Jesus said, ‘In the beginning, it was not so.’ This means that creation was obedient to man. When the second Adam, who was Jesus, came, He came to restore what was lost with Adam. This He accomplished through the work of redemption so that man could reclaim what was manipulated by the power of witchcraft.

We discover that there are demonic manipulations that cause creation to become sick. One of the major causes is the sin of the land. Creation was made to bless man and fulfil the purposes of God.

In Deuteronomy 4:19, when Israel was warned against idolatry, they were told, “And when you look up into the sky and see the sun, moon and stars — all the forces of heaven — do not be seduced into worshipping them. The LORD your God gave them to all the peoples of the earth.”

The Bible says they should not be seduced into worshipping these heavenly bodies, as they were given to man as an inheritance. The word ‘inheritance’ means something intended to benefit us.
Why am I saying all this? I want you to understand what causes the land to become sick and that when it is sick, it adversely affects God’s people. Creation can be manipulated to work against God’s plans and purposes for our lives.

When we pray for the rain, we should understand God’s technology for releasing the rain. Creation was given to man, according to Psalms 115:16, which says, “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.”

In Hosea 2:21-22 (NLT), the Bible says, “In that day, I will answer,” says the Lord. “I will answer the sky as it pleads for clouds. And the sky will answer the earth with rain. Then the earth will answer the thirsty cries of the grain, the grapevines, and the olive trees. And they in turn will answer, ‘Jezreel’—‘God plants!’”

We see that the earth cried to the heavens, the heavens answered the earth and the earth answered the grain, the grapes and the olive trees. This shows us the order in attracting the rain.

In Zechariah 10:1, it says, “Ask the Lord for rain in the time of the latter rain. The Lord will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, grass in the field for everyone.”

The Bible instructs us to ask the Lord for rain. The order is for God’s people to ask for rain. The rain is supposed to come at the right time, but it is not coming because certain demonic entities and forces have blocked it.

Only the body of Christ has the authority to open those doors and redeem creation from bondage.
Romans 8:19, 21 says, “For the earnest expectation of creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God (…) because creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”

It is we, the true sons of God, who must manifest in this season and declare to every demonic force, ‘Let it part ways in the second heavens.’ Let the heavens answer us with rain. We prophesy that the rains this year will come to our nation. Let November be covered with rain, in the name of Jesus.

I would like to invite you to receive Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour by believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth that He is your Lord and Saviour and you shall be saved. May God bless you all.
