DON’T SIT ON THE FENCE
“For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, As the waters cover the sea.”
Habakkuk 2:14 (NKJV)
This Prophetic word of the Lord in the opening verse was not a suggestion nor a mere wish.
It was the Lord declaring what was going to happen. The intensity of this prophecy is in the certainty of its tone; that it shall fully come to pass no matter the resistance.
God’s word or what He says is prophetic! His prophetic word is living, active, and full of power; which makes it operative, energizing, and effective. This means the Lord’s prophetic word (what He says) comes to pass in its full force.
The prophetic word is sharper than any two-edged and cuts deep on every side. (See Hebrews 4:12 – Amplified Bible and Message Translation).
Certain prophetic words in the Old Testament portion of the Bible were not only fulfilled within a historical context or by historical events but were fully fulfilled in the Gospel or revelation of Jesus.
For example:
Historically, God’s prophetic word of the promised land to Abraham was Canaan (Genesis 12; 15:18-21). In Genesis 15:18-21, you will find the determined borders of the physical promised land. However, by revelation of scriptures, the true promised land is Christ and the Kingdom of God. When Abraham got to the promised land, He looked forward to an eternal city. (Hebrews 11:10,16).
Again, God didn’t only promise Abraham a land. He also promised Abraham a seed (Genesis 12:7). This seed is both physical and spiritual.
The Jews were the fulfilment of the promised seed through Isaac and Jacob. (John 8:33). And by the revelation of the gospel, we have the absolute fulfilment of the prophetic word; the true Seed of Abraham is Christ and all who belong to Christ are Abraham’s seed through Faith (Galatians 3:16; 29)
Not just in these examples, but Christ is the goal of all prophecies.
Though it may seem the prophetic word by Prophet Habakkuk was concerning the Lord’s judgement against the Chaldeans or Babylon, the fulfilment of this prophecy unveils God’s transcending and universal plan.
The plan is to fill the whole Earth with the knowledge of His glory as the waters cover the sea.
This prophecy and plan cannot fail; for the Word of the Lord does not return to Him empty until it has fulfilled its purpose (Isaiah 55:11).
Through Christ Jesus, God has given forth the light of the Knowledge of His glory. (2 Corinthians 4:6).
This light of the knowledge of His glory is burning within our hearts; just as our Lord made a bold utterance concerning Himself that:
“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world” John 9:5.
He said this also:
“The people who dwell in darkness have seen a great light…” Matthew 4:16.
This is the fulfillment of the prophecy by the Prophet Isaiah:
“The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine.” Isaiah 9:2 (ESV).
Now we are made the light of the world to show forth God’s glory (1 Peter 2:9).
We have the mandate to reach out to many who are in darkness and fill or saturate them with the knowledge of the glory of God.
Look at how this prophecy is repeated in Isaiah (the New Living Translation provides vivid detail):
“…for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the LORD” Isaiah 11:9 (NLT).
To cover the earth is to reach all men and fill them with the knowledge of the glory of God.
Wherever there are people we must take the glorious gospel of light there.
We must take it to the offices, to the companies, the schools, the streets, families, the communities, cities, villages, towns, and the internet (including all social media platforms).
You must get involved and be part of this glorious work of God. Be the reason and the medium by which the work of God will be accomplished.
Don’t sit on the fence!
Beloved, COVER THE EARTH!
DIG DEEPER
(2 Corinthians 4:4; 2 Peter 1:19; Numbers 14:21; Psalm 22:27; Isaiah 40:5)
WE PRAY
1. We pray for the opening of doors and opportunities in places where there are people who will be granted us and we will exercise the wisdom to saturate every person with the glorious gospel of Jesus.
2. We pray that we shall maintain the focus, diligence, and discipline to spread the goodnews of Jesus and train many men for the move to cover the earth with God’s glorious knowledge.
In the glorious name of Jesus.

I’m part of what God is doing in rhe now in the name of Jesus
As the waters covers the seas so will the knowledge of the Lord Cover the Earth. One Deacon asked ” when you look at the sea what do you see ? Is it water or any other fluid. If it is water then there is an assurance that what the word says will never fail. So we can repose total confidence into it and put in all we have got to make sure it happens
Wow this is so amazing
The word of the Lord shall never fall to the ground, the Lord has found me
I don’t sit on the fence
We have to take advantage of any tool at our disposal to make sure the prophetic word come to pass. Technology is one of the mediums of making an information reach masses in some split second
So if the gospel spread rapidly in the times of wagons and chariots how much more in the times of sport cars and speed trains
Isa.60.2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. (NKJV)
The glory of the Lord is made know in me

Brethren get up now.This is the time to labour for the Lord.Be involved
Because wether you like it or not, wether with you or without you the prophecy Shall surely come to pass.
This is a devine call to service and must be treated as an emergency.

You must be involved in this glorious work of God, sir/ma. This is an opportunity the Lord has given you to be involved in what He is doing. The greatest thing you can ever do is to be involved in this. It is not to be a doctor, lawyer or a judge, but is to be involved in the fulfilment of the eternal plan of God.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the Heavens. This talks about how great our God is. So to be involved in this work is to embrace the greatest opportunity you can ever have on earth. Whiles you are here, don’t sit on the fence, be involved!
We must spread the knowledge of the glory of God in every place people are. Darkness is not meant to prevail; the light shines in darkness and the darkness comprehends it not. Darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people, but it shall come to pass that the knowledge of the glory to the Lord shall prevail. You must be the reason and the medium through which this comes to pass. Glory to God!
Thank you so much Apostle.

Wherever there are people, I take the glorious knowledge of God there.
I am the reason the work of the Lord is accomplished.
