You're no longer the audience.
You're now the army.
Apostle Tomi,
Arayomi, it's great to have you here on Charisma News.
I know we're doing a series on what is God saying about 2024
and you actually you're you're not at liberty to release that full word yet.
But what God has given you the permission to do
is to share these seven tips or seven strategies for his people to be ready for 2024.
So I'm just going to sit back and let you release this word.
And I'll just kind of ask questions as needed in between.
But thank you for being here and thank you for sharing what God has been speaking to you.
Well, it's great to be with you again, John.
And I really believe that the Lord is preparing us to benefit actually
from 2024 and beyond.
You know, prophecy is for our benefit.
It's ultimately not so we can just prognosticate.
Neither is it so we can be naysayers, just so that we can point people,
God's people to areas where they need to be aware of what's coming.
So even if it's bad news, it can actually be good news because you had the heads up.
So some of the things the Lord's begun to speak to me about.
He gave me seven prophetic things to really prepare God's people for 2024.
I believe the scripture says the eyes of the Lord are running to improve about the earth,
looking for those whose hearts are perfect towards Him to show Himself strong on their behalf.
And so that means that right now the Spirit of God is looking at hearts.
He's measuring our heart posture, our heart alignment.
Just like when he was looking for a candidate to be king over Israel,
he found David, who he said was a man off to his heart.
And this is particularly important for 2024 going forwards.
Because Isaiah, the prophet, offers this great indictment against Israel.
He said, I saw that there was no man and I marveled that there was no one to stand in the gap.
In other words, the Lord is always looking for a candidate.
He's always looking for somebody who he can exalt, who he can lift up, who he can promote in the land.
And I really believe 2024 is going to be that year where you're going to start to see
unknowns becoming known and knowns becoming unknown.
There's going to be almost a shift where those that have been hidden for a season for this time,
hidden in frustration, hidden in obscurity, we're going to begin to see them rise to the surface.
Or just as the scripture says, have you considered my servant Job that there is none more righteous than him,
blameless and upright in all his ways as Job 1 verse 8.
And we see this throughout scripture, you know, God looking, finding Noah,
a man of righteousness among a morally decadent people.
So why is the Lord saying this?
I believe he's saying this because darkness is going to get darker.
The darkness the Bible says will cover the earth.
But the darkness we're going to feel in 2024 going forward is going to be akin
to the Egyptian darkness, you know, where the Bible says a darkness that could be felt.
This is like a demonic darkness that has a touch point to it.
And although the Bible says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, we're actually going
to see the enemy taking on more physical form, whether that's through politicians,
school boards, teachers, we're going to see it get worse.
The Bible calls them the rulers of the darkness of this age.
That's physical people.
I think the word there is cosmocratist, physical people who have taken on demonic
assignments and have have basically become epithets or servants.
Just like the Bible talks about bar Jesus or Simon the sorcerer.
People have really taken on the identity that this is who I am, especially in America.
Sorcery is going to become a more real practice.
You know, witchcraft is going to become more a forefront battle from different all kinds
of angles and we're already seeing those things take place.
But who's the Lord looking for in the midst of that?
Blameless.
Somebody who hasn't bowed his knee to bail.
So 2024, the first strategy is be blameless or at least mourn evil.
You know, there's a scripture that talks about the people that wept at the evil.
God, Godly sorrow that works repentance.
That place where people see evil around them and they're weeping for the evil like
abacus, why do you let my eyes behold this evil every day I see it?
And God responds because he responds to blameless people.
Blameless doesn't mean without sin.
Blameless means that I'm not going to be a part of the reproaches and the things
that people are doing.
The world is doing and, you know, get this job even that the church is doing.
That there is a there is a remnant of people who are not going to become a part
of a suedo church culture.
They're going to embrace a kingdom culture that's righteousness, peace,
and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Number two, the Lord said that it's time to release the gathering anointing again.
This is more of message for pastors and leaders of churches that there has to be
the release of a fresh gathering anointing.
COVID scattered us, but now we are no longer in the COVID era.
We are now in the gathering season.
And, you know, you could say a million things COVID came to do.
COVID came to kill elderly people.
You know, COVID came to, you know, really attack those who are dealing with
or predispose conditions.
But really the enemy's assignment for COVID was the scattering of the people.
God's assignment for COVID was that all of the things that could be shaken were
shaken. So we saw a lot of churches shut down.
We saw a lot of agendas and ideas being brought to the surface.
Opinions that weren't biblical being brought to the surface.
But now that we're no longer in that COVID era, we're now in, the Lord calls it,
a fresh gathering season for the sake of the harvest.
Now, who's God gathering?
God's not gathering the harvest.
He's gathering the harvesters.
And you've got to convince the harvesters that you're no longer the harvest.
You're now the workers and we've got to equip you, not enable you.
You know, we have a church now in Houston and there's a gathering
together and we're telling them constantly, you're no longer the audience.
You're now the army.
You know, God needs an army and you're it.
And so there has to be a fresh gathering anointing.
Why?
Because the evil day is approaching.
And Hebrews chapter 10 verse 25 says, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves
together as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another.
And in so much as we see the day approaching.
And so as we see the evil day, the response of God to that evil day is assembly,
not gathering for the sake of serving teas and coffees.
No, an assembly of the saints together and a mobilizing of the saints means one
should chase a thousand, two shall chase 10,000.
And so the Spirit of God is looking for those gatherings in the earth again.
He's brooding over the gatherings because there's an outpouring now.
And it's not going to be just an outpouring for revival.
It's going to be an outpouring for reformation.
The Bible actually talks about four hours that are going to take place in the end times.
Repent, the Bible says, return that times of revival or refreshing.
So first hour, repent.
Second hour, repent.
Second hour, return to the Lord so we can repent and not return to the Lord.
You know, that's why I love people.
We're praying, why things not changing now?
If my people call by my name, shall humble themselves, seek my face, pray.
We can that's all repentance and turn from their wicked ways.
That means return to the Lord.
So it's one thing to say, I'm sorry from.
It's another thing to say, I'm accepting this so we can be
sorry for and still not accept the new.
You know, it's like marriage.
You know, you can say, I'm sorry for what I did, but still not change your
behavior to a more righteous way of conduct that pleases your spouse.
We can say, oh, we messed up here, but still not accept that there's a lifestyle.
You know, the thing that shocks me is Christians don't believe that there's a lifestyle.
Even the LGBT community know that there's a lifestyle.
What if you want to be in their community?
In Christianity, if you want to be in this, holiness is the lifestyle.
None of us go to a restaurant.
And if we see stains on our plate, choose to let the person serving us put the
clean food on the dirty plate.
We say, excuse me, the plate's dirty.
Excuse me, the cup has somebody else's lipstick on the edge of it.
And yet we want to serve God from unclean vessels.
And God's like, no, my standard is still going to be number one, holiness,
blamelessness, without which no man can see the Lord.
But number two, there has to be a gathering for a new outpouring.
And that means, you know, Ezekiel beheld the valley.
The valley was full of dry bones and the bones were very dry.
And God didn't abandon the bones.
The Bible says he said prophesy to the bones.
Why? Because the breath needs bones.
We can't just prophesy and ask God, pour out your spirit and there's no structure.
Spirit needs structure.
He needs a skeleton.
He needs a gathering of the army together so that the outpouring can come.
So he says, repent, return to the Lord.
Times of refreshing will come from the presence of God.
That's a third R and he will send Jesus Christ to my heavens, must withhold
until the reformation of all things.
So the final R is where the church hasn't got to yet.
We love revival.
Thank God for revival.
But if all you do is keep resuscitating us and we die again and you resuscitate us
again and we die again, reformation is meant to revival is meant to tilt into
reformation, revival is meant to tilt us out of falling over and rolling on the
floor and all of that is meant to spill over into, OK, how are we going to make
earth look like heaven?
How are we going to make the kingdoms of the world reflect the kingdom of our
God, love is Christ, so that he can reign forever and ever?
That's the place now in this final revival.
God is saying, I'm holding back the revival until you have your reformers on the
ground. What does that look like?
It looks like Elisha is already pulling a plow.
Elisha is not there just waiting for revival.
No, he's already got his instruments ready for reformation to tilt the ground.
And so that means that means now in this hour,
training is coming upon revival.
The anointing is coming upon education.
The anointing is coming upon intelligence.
The anointing is coming on people with a brain, people that know what to do now
that they've been revived.
That's the hour we're coming into in this next gathering.
Number three, the Lord says, work out your exit strategy from your job
or into jobs that will matter beyond 2030.
This was a crucial one.
And, you know, I've been saying this for a while, but I think it was Forbes
magazine that came out with an article.
I can't remember if it was 300 or 600 million jobs that will be lost by 2030
to artificial intelligence.
And so the Lord said, now it's time to work out your exodus.
Exodus is a huge word
in the Hebrew.
It's it's a relative of the word Ecclesia, where we get the call out
ones from Ecc meaning to leave or to flee Ecclesia, meaning to come out.
Exodus meaning to run from.
What were they running from?
They were running from their jobs.
They had horrible bosses called taskmasters who afflicted them cruelly
in a season to build structures for Pharaoh.
And so we're actually in a season where 2025 will be the halfway point.
The Lord says of that exit strategy that is going to be commanding a lot of people.
I've got calls everywhere.
God told me to leave my job.
God told me to step out and I'm learning.
I'm learning five figures.
I'm learning six figures.
I don't know why the Lord would tell me to do this because there's a movement
out of jobs into sustainability.
You know, jobs are archaic now.
The idea of a job is as archaic as the idea of our education system.
Our education system is years out of date.
But our education system trains us to step into the job market and not into the area
that I believe the Lord wants us to step into.
And look what the Lord said, which was really interesting.
Let my people go from their slavery that they may worship me on this mountain.
And so God wanted them to be freed up enough to worship.
He wanted them to be freed up enough to spend time with him.
That was the whole goal of delivering them from their terrible job market.
It was like, I need them to worship me.
And I'm not going to.
And that word worship is the same word bondage.
Let them go from their bondage.
It's the same word.
In other words, God wasn't freeing them
from slavery.
God was freeing them to slavery, but slaves of Christ, slaves of the Lord,
not slaves of the systems of the world.
And so we see this again in the woman who was bent over for 18 years,
kind of straightened herself up and look what he says.
He says, anyone who sees an ox and tied down doesn't
don't need just on the Sabbath, go ahead and release that oxen.
But what's he releasing the oxen to you?
Release the oxen from the stalls to carry a load.
The good news about Christ's load is it's light.
It's easy.
It's not it's not as terrible as what you're under right now in the systems of the world.
It is a light yoke.
And we're in a season now where God's people are going to have to choose
which master they're going to serve.
And I love what the Bible says, because your your biggest master is in Satan,
your biggest master's money, it's mammoth.
And so we're we're we're shifting the time now.
And whatever job you have before, you're going to see them becoming redundant.
Just yesterday, I was on the plane and I was watching this news article about Amazon.
And it's like otherworldly.
If you look at their factory that they just built, they have robots now doing what humans used to do.
And they put out a promise.
We're not replacing humans, we promise.
Yeah, right. I mean, a few years.
I mean, these robots don't go on lunch breaks.
These robots don't ask for vacation time.
They don't ask for maternity and paternity leave, you know, whatever that means.
They they're working 24 seven round the clock.
And so we're we're already in that era now where if you're not working out your
exes out of the job sector or into jobs that will matter past 20 30,
you're going to be in trouble.
Genesis 47, this one says, so Joseph went and told Pharaoh,
my father and my brothers with their flocks and herds and all they own have come from
the land of Canaan and are in Goshen.
And he chose five of his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.
And he said, what is your occupation?
I think this is going to be the most crucial question of the next few years.
What is your occupation?
What's your job?
What are you working right now?
Whatever job you're working right now, whatever occupation you're tied in right
now, ask yourself, is it going to be around or is there some robot that can do my job
much better than me?
And if there is accountants, if there is graphic designers, if there is web
developers, if there is news anchors, it's time for us to begin to make the shift
into whatever sectors of job or business or investments that are going to actually
make room for us and our families.
Number four, the Lord says, run away from money
and choose to invest in the best parts of the land.
And I don't believe God wants us to be foolish with money and not stay liquid.
I actually believe that liquidity is good without liquidity.
You can't buy food, but I actually believe there's a strategy in the season we're
stepping into that the Lord wants us to build asset based lives and not income based
lives. And that means that now we've got to get wise with money.
Number one, or align ourselves with people that are wise with money.
So that's two things you can do that.
You can either admit you're incompetent at money and be like Ruth and say, Naomi,
I'm following you. I don't know anything about this bread and economics.
But you're people, my people now, you're God, my God, where you die, I die.
I'm going in your course.
I'm subscribing to your life.
I'm going to be here forever until I get
brain enough to figure this out.
But right now I'm just going to align.
So two things you can do, you can either align with people who are heading in that
direction, teaching in that direction, training in the direction,
passing the leaders that are speaking in that direction.
You know, those these are the people now we got to align ourselves with
because we're going to have a dichotomy past 2025 of why we're not going to have
a church of divided by black against white or Asian against black or whatever.
The dichotomy is going to be wise people against foolish people.
And the Bible says the foolish people expected the wise people to provide for
them during the time of of of the bridegroom coming.
And the wise people looked at the foolish people and said, no, we we actually
the reason we're sleeping is because we've actually invested.
We bought our oil.
Don't don't don't sleep just because we're sleeping.
Get about your day and and do some work.
But and so run away from money and choose to invest in the best parts of the land.
So that means that now if you're one of those people that got speaking to about
property, about land development, don't just invest in anything.
Invest strategically in parts of the land that you know are going to bless you
and your family years down the line.
I mean, you look at the man Naboth, who Jezebel killed.
And he realized why he killed him because he had a plot of land
that was right next to the king's house.
I mean, that's that's like that asset is so expensive that Naboth said, no,
you're not touching my portion.
I this is my family's inheritance dating back years.
So you've got to work your way into the best parts of the land because whenever
there's a recession or something's going on in the land,
remember, you have to remember around this time, this famine,
it's it's the best parts of the land that are going to stay buoyant.
And so Genesis forty seven fourteen and Joseph gathered up all the money
that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the corn which
they bought and Joseph bought the money into Pharaoh's house when the money
from the land of Egypt and Canaan failed.
That's the operative word.
Money is going to fail.
Money is getting ready to fail.
And we're going to see what people have called their savings, their,
you know, life savings.
And I've been telling people specifically, watch out for Wells Fargo Bank and
and different banks, watch out for closures, massive closures.
Because, you know, we're going to see something shifting economically.
And it doesn't mean money goes away because according to I think it was
Occam's law or whoever it was, you know, energy never gets destroyed.
It just gets converted into something else.
It means we've got to find where it's been converted into.
So when the money from Egypt was gone,
the Bible says that the people became slaves, they became slaves of the government
and slaves of Pharaoh.
And so, you know, when when money fails,
the scariest word in the world, according to Reagan, was where the government
and we're here to help.
Right.
That's exactly what happened in Joseph's day.
The government came and said, we're here to help.
And and Pharaoh, Joseph's Pharaoh was benevolent.
The Pharaoh that rose up after him was not.
And this is what Solomon says, I've seen a wicked thing under the earth.
He says, a ruler rises up and then people hate him and they go for a younger guy
instead that everybody loves him, but he's only there for a season and somebody else
will rise up anyway.
So, you know, America's obsession with elections has to give way to, hey,
let's build the kind of economy that whether it's a Democrat or a Republican
in power, we're OK, we're we're buoyant, we're riding through whatever season
we need to ride through, because we're trusting in the Lord.
We're not trusting in the White House.
So number five,
but I think the body of Christ has got to learn to buy and sell.
I believe the body of Christ has got to learn how to pay their debts.
And I'm not talking about good debt,
I'm talking about bad debt, especially during the time of Christmas.
Please don't get into debt.
I just see something so strong coming for 2024 in different parts of the world
that is going to be such an economic shaking that you cannot afford to get into debt
like Christmas debt and all of these
luxuries that you can't afford.
Like, you know, people people go out there and they pay for expensive lives
that they can't afford.
And the problem is you have to keep it up.
If you start that scam, you have to keep up the scam, you know.
And so live within your means.
And then don't live off of your income.
Live off of your business.
And I actually believe God is lowering the bar for everyone to be able to enter
into this season of business.
I really believe it prophetically.
Because the Bible says in Luke 19,
occupy to like come that where there is pragmaty on my it means trade to like come
do business to like come.
So there's a there's an anointing for skilled business.
It's an axis 31.
It talks about the spirit of God coming upon the people.
And it wasn't actually prophecy.
Prophecy was the latter day outpouring.
It was for building, design, architecture, craft, business.
So there's an outpouring in 2024.
If anybody is willing to receive it, it's an outpouring that's going to make them
skilled, it's going to make them successful.
I remember when the Holy Spirit taught me how to play the piano.
I did. I still don't read musical notes today.
I just supernaturally skilled me to play.
And I became the worship leader of our church for almost three years.
And I was like, how did you learn this?
I was like, I was just in my room.
I said, Holy Spirit, teach me.
And all of a sudden he started teaching me.
And so supernaturally, we're going to see scale coming upon the people of God.
They're going to be able to do things that they couldn't do before.
And wonder how am I gifted in this?
You know, you know, it's probably like you all of a sudden you're learning.
How am I gifted in meteor all of a sudden?
How did I know how to work this camera?
How do I know how to fix this?
And so it's the anointing that we got to recognize.
The anointing is coming upon people who are being positioned
for wealth transfers.
And I really believe that.
Now, how wealthy are people going to be?
They're going to be as wealthy as they want to be.
You know, that's the that's the challenge.
You know, wealthy for what's sake?
Well, the billion soul harvest.
People talk about the billion soul harvest, but they don't talk about the billion soul seed.
It's going to cost a lot.
We did crusades in Africa.
Every crusade cost us a hundred thousand dollars.
Every crusade in every village, hundred thousand dollars or two hundred thousand
dollars, sometimes upwards of 300, depending on the size and the stadium,
all those things.
So we need billion dollar investors.
We need the Phoebe's, the benefactors, the patrons and the patrons,
those who can carry the anointing.
Great. But those who can carry the wealth to sustain revival as well.
We need a calling forward of those people.
And so we need a buying, selling anointing.
We need people who are living within their means.
We need people who are building businesses,
not living off of their job.
We need those like the widow, you know, her circumstances change.
And here, here what the Lord said, you don't have to wait for your
circumstances to change to shift into a business anointing.
Remember that that woman, her husband died, the creditors are coming to take her kids.
Baylifts are coming round.
I don't know if you call them baylifts in America.
We call them baylifts in the UK.
Tax collectors.
Or you know, the constable, I guess, maybe.
Yes.
So they're coming to take everything.
And in the midst of that,
she seeks a profit and the profit doesn't say
Shabba Baba, Rando Kuh Shata, by this time tomorrow.
No. What do you have in your house?
So nothing, just this jar of oil.
And I believe prophetically, your next level is in your house.
It's not some big idea.
It's not some war, amazing thing.
And genius is actually just the thing you called nothing.
It's sitting there, right in front of you.
Imagine her whole company was right in her house and she called it nothing.
And all of a sudden, the prophet gave her strategy.
Here's the operative word of 2024.
If you give a succeed, it's not about products, not about services.
It's all going to be about supernatural, prophetic strategy.
You're going to have to partner with the prophets and prophetic people
to release strategy.
You know, so so many simple.
You know, you go to places like I can't remember the name of that burger restaurant
in America that everybody blows up about with the milkshake that has like bacon in it.
You know, what's that?
There's actually several of those.
I mean, it might be in and out burger.
It could be a burger, Tory.
There's one I can't remember off the top of my head.
Shake Shack, different.
You're getting close to a shake.
But it's not shake.
Steak and shake.
It's not steak and shake.
No, it's popular, very popular franchise.
Oh, it's from my head.
Anyway, this company, they sell burgers.
And then they give you the fries for free.
They give you all the toppings for free.
They give you like all the everything else for free.
But then they sell you this burger and you're like, wow, this is a bargain.
I get this burger and I get all my fries and toppings for free.
But what you don't realize is you're actually paying in the burger.
You're paying for the fries and the toppings, but it's all strategy.
It's all strategies like a strategy that they've got that makes you feel like you're
doing something, but you're actually doing something that works against your own
interest in a weird way.
We're going to succeed in this season.
Every business, every organization, Christiano,
Secular is going to succeed by partnering with profits to release prophetic
strategy over their businesses, over their ideas, their initiatives.
There's going to be some divine revelation that's going to come just like it came
to this woman and she's going to all of a sudden see what she called nothing.
Become a multi-million dollar oil business in a desert.
And that's exactly what happened.
Her story turned around because she partnered with prophetic strategy.
Those who don't partner with prophetic strategy are going to partner with
the fear and the spirit of the world.
And the best analogy for this, again, is when
Apostle Paul was stranded on his way to Rome and he prophesied to them,
brothers, I proceed this journey is not going to end well for us.
And the Bible says the Centurion, God bless you.
The Bible says the Centurion believed
the shipmaster over the profit, believe the professional over the profit.
Believe what the professionals were saying.
And look, 2020 became the exaltation of this kind of
professional people, intelligence here.
And they started telling believe the professionals, believe the professionals,
believe the science and we now see the science wasn't correct.
And those who told us to believe that their
orthodox are now reneging on what some things they said.
We got to believe what the Lord is saying,
not what man is saying if we're going to succeed.
A man's voice is going to get louder and louder.
Climate this, climate that.
And the prophet's voices have to be amplified as well.
So in the midst of the noise,
we can hear the voice of the Lord.
And so, you know, this widow turned around her life.
That's why I said how wealthy you are.
He is wealthy as you want to be.
But she said he said borrow some vessels.
He didn't say borrow six.
He didn't say borrow seven.
He said borrow some vessels when when Elijah was about to die.
He told the king strike the ground, strike the air.
He didn't say strike it once or twice.
How big do you want?
How successful do you want to be?
How big do you want to dream?
You know, because you the Bible says when the jars were filled,
the oil stopped.
So the secret is borrow as many jars as you can and the oil is going to keep running.
The secret is trust God as big as you can trust him to make you a conduit
and a carrier of blessings for nations.
And he's going to do exactly that.
The next thing I can't remember what number I'm on.
We're on to six.
So the word says.
Don't wait for World War Three to be announced before you recognize that you
are already crossed into wartime.
And I think we're just waiting for this big announcement to come on the news.
The World War has begun.
No, they're in the spirit.
Wars are not declared in the natural wars aren't declared by Winston Churchill's
wars are declared in the spirit.
And the Bible says in Joel chapter three, verse nine,
proclaim among the nations, prepare for war.
He said, prepare for war.
He didn't say, let war find you.
And all of a sudden you're anxious and you're worried and you're trying to figure
out what am I going to do with my life?
No, he says, be prepared ahead of time for a season of warfare.
What does warfare season look like?
I've never I don't know if you've ever been, but I've never been in war.
We haven't been in war since the GI generation who knew what wartime was.
You know, maybe we should ask them some questions.
You know, what was wartime like?
How did you how did you live during wartime?
How did you survive?
There are nations right now going through wartime and us in our generation who have
never seen it before, we're the ones sitting on the sidelines protesting and
yelling because we've never experienced what real wartime brings.
What does wartime bring?
It brings casualties.
It brings innocent lives being slaughtered.
It brings chaos economically.
It puts us in a place of survival.
But I'll tell you what the biggest thing it does.
It puts us in a place of self governance.
Every time wartime struck, people became more self governing and less
reliant on government because government was busy fighting wars.
And so all of these companies we've seen set up or institutions we've seen set up
in Britain, for instance, or even in America, you know, the Office of Foreign
Affairs, the Office of this, the Office of Food and Safety, all of these were set
up during wartime.
Tinned food that we now stock our houses with, tinned food was from World War
One and World War Two.
When you were in ration, you actually put your food in a tin.
But after war, these institutions never go away.
They just become stronger and stronger and demand more from us.
During war, people consolidate.
People build their own security.
People build their own wealth structures.
People build their own survival mechanisms.
I was in Nigeria for a year, living in a country where there was no electricity,
no lights, none of those things.
And, you know, we actually lived in the best part of Nigeria.
Thank God.
But so we had some electricity, lights, all of those things.
But we had to hire our own police because there's no police system called
the police in Nigeria, Dal 911 in Nigeria.
They ask you to pay for the petrol.
But they need to come to the crime.
And so it's never a good thing.
So you have to build that.
There's no health care.
You have to build it.
There's no anything.
And so people stop building.
Of course, it's very expensive.
But in the long run, you become less reliant on government and the whims of government.
And you become more reliant on the spirit of God, more reliant on things that he's
showing you, more reliant on personal wisdom, personal safety, protection for your family,
all those great things.
So prepare for war.
Beat your clashes into swords.
That means whatever was your domestic instrument before for a domestic life,
you're going to have to learn to turn that instrument into a wartime weapon
that's effective for where you're going.
In other words, whatever job you were doing before, you have to shift that into and beat yourself.
Beating doesn't sound like a good thing, but beat yourself into something that's
effective for the season we're coming into now.
So the church has got to learn to do that warfare.
And final thing is you've got to build your own
Gautians. You've got to build your own Gautians.
What is Gautian?
You know, Gautian is this place where the government has no ability to touch.
Gautian is the place where you don't become a victim of the whims of economies.
Gautian is the place where you get
delivered from the idolatry of election cycles.
It's the place where you actually come into being the president of your house,
the president of your children, the president of your community.
You know, you start building a New Testament or was Antioch.
They started building these economic supply chains when they heard that the
believers were going through a tough time.
They sent financial relief to those believers because Antioch was wealthy enough.
I estimated the wealth of the Antioch church from I think it was at 19.
I can't remember which scripture it was,
but it was it was a millions of dollars, US dollar equivalent of the Antioch church.
Oh, they were wealthy people.
So anybody had an issue, it was like, let's just send them relief.
The widows was send relief.
Those in famine, that's some relief.
Today's church, I believe, has to build some kind of
economies within ourselves.
Now, you know, all kinds of people come to me with all kinds of ideas of what those
economies look like. I don't know what fully it would look like.
I wish I did.
But I believe we have to build the kind of economies that when systems begin to fail.
And I think one of them is, you know, I think one of them is agriculture.
I think the church needs to go back to owning
owning its own agriculture, owning its own farming animals and cattle and producing
its own vegetation.
You know, the first thing God put them in as a garden.
The last thing God did when he returned and died, he came back in a garden.
And I believe that we're literally talking about moving back to
to sustenance and self-governance as opposed to relying on government structures.
And that's Genesis 47-23.
Then Joseph said to the people, now that I've acquired you and your land for
that pharaoh this day, here is seed for you to sell in the land at harvest time.
You ought to give a fifth of it to Pharaoh and four fifths will be yours.
That's not fair.
But what happens when another politician rises up?
He's not as benevolent as that pharaoh.
He's going to take that up to two fifths and no one, three fifths and no one,
four fifths. I was like, no, we own you.
So we we we've got to build with wisdom.
Joseph actually created the very system that enslaved his own people years later.
But he he did under a benevolent dictator.
He we've got to build with force right now because to take whoever leads us
democratically or whatever, they're going to change.
And so we've got to build our own
unwavering systems that can't be shaken by the whims of the world.
You know, the fall calls it Zion, the city made without human hands,
which I believe is God's wisdom and revelation upon the believers.
Wow.
Brother, that's that is some powerful stuff here.
And I can't see all this stuff.
But I took I took notes of everything that you were saying.
And I know that I'm going to have to go through this stuff again.
Because
whenever you whenever people are talking about the future,
whenever people are talking about this is what I feel God saying for the next year.
You know, this is the time of year that we're I mean, literally,
I'm gathering a lot of these messages from what God is saying.
And a lot of it's encouraging and some of it is challenging.
But what you've just laid out is very apostolic and it's prophetic and apostolic.
And it's a plan for us to move forward.
And I love how you said that we need to partner with the prophets to be able to
put these things into practice so that we will see the provision being being
a reality and it's it's something that, you know, very practical of what we can do.
And I know that this is going to force me to be praying more about what what I can
do and how we can how we can get ready for that next season that is that is ahead of us.
So, brother, thank you so much for sharing this.
And I just would like to ask you to pray for those that have been watching and
listening to this, that you that there would just be a release in their lives.
Yes. Well, Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for those watching this right now.
Lord, prophecy is not supposed to incite fear.
It's supposed to awaken us to find solutions.
Lord, I ask you, there may be a feeling of, wow, this is a lot to take in.
Father, I ask you, put one step in front of the other in front of your people right now.
You said the steps of the righteous are ordered by the Lord.
By the Lord begin to order each step.
Lord, we know that we can do nothing without you.
Let's in our heart, we boast and say the power of our strength has gained us this wealth.
Lord, wealth, resources, the power to create it comes from you.
So Lord, we acknowledge that we acknowledge divine opportunities.
We acknowledge time and chance that happened to all of us.
We acknowledge divine favor and connections to people that only you can bring about.
So Lord, I pray for divine serendipities.
I pray for divine moments stumbling into favor in 2024.
Lord, favor is what happens with good understanding.
The Bible says good understanding gives favor.
So what I pray, release wisdom, understanding and knowledge onto the body of Christ at large.
Bless Charisma.
Bless their ministry, their organization.
Begin to lift it up in the earth as a force of change.
And Lord, we pray that at the end of this, we can truly partner with you and say
the kingdoms of the world have become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ.
And He shall reign forever and ever.
Finally, I pray for America.
Lord, I pray right now during its tumbling season where it's trying to figure out
which way it wants to go, bring about a merciful, severe course correction.
A merciful, severe course correction for America.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Amen.
Apostle Tomi Arayomi, thank you so much
for sharing this wisdom that God has imparted into you with our audience.
And brother, we bless you.
We look forward to hearing more of what God has to say through you.
Amen. Thank you.
