The number 7 have been shaping spiritual and political
destinies from time immemorial there are several mysteries about the number
seven that are uncovered in this first series of POLITICAL DESTINIES AND THE
NUMBER 7.
1. Naaman : The
first political figure we will consider is Naaman, he was the equivalent of the
present day Chief of Army in Present day Syria “Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with
his master, and honorable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto
Syria but he was a Leper
Elisha told him
to Deep himself 7 times in the Jordan river at the ( 7th )time his leprous skin became like that of a baby (2 kings 5 vs 10-19)
2 . Joshua :was
both spiritual and Political Leader of Israel, The bible records that, On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak
and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that
day they circled the city seven times" led by 7 priests with 7 trumpets, Joshua 6 1- 17
And suddenly a wall that could accommodate Rahab's house came Crashing when the number (7) was reached
3. Ahab: The Next
Political Figure who benefited from the Number 7 was King Ahab,The drought
brought so much suffering making the King to seek help from the prophet.On
the mount Elijah directed his servant to
check for any sign of rain.
And it came to pass at
the 7th time that he said, Behold
there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea like a man hand "1 king 18 vs 41-44 ''
That was how several years of drought disappeared and a
Kings political destiny got a new lifeline.
4. Jesus: had a title of King of the Jews imposed on
him, the author of salvation is the most humble man ever, in the life of Jesus
we see an uncommon and unique manifestation of the Number 7.
Jesus never needed a number to walk on water, he commands
and it happens.
In Mathew 14 13- 21
Seven (7) food items showed up and the
first free food restaurant in the world was born.
A boy showed up with 2 Fishes+5 loaves of bread(2+5=7) and
5000 men were fed excluding women and children leaving 12 basket as leftover.
That’s only possible with a God that can fetch water with
basket!
5. God: The King
of the Whole world is our next Personality, this one is the King of King, and
the President of President’s, the one who installs and remove rulers at will. In
Gen 2 vs 2 the master rested on the (7th)
day and Blessed it.
There must be something special about the 7th that the
ancient of days himself chose to rest that day
6. The Shunamite woman:
is next on our list, In 2 Kings 4:35
we see how deliverance from death came her sons way when the Number 7 showed up
"Then he returned, and walked in the
house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child
sneezed seven times, (7th) and the child opened his eyes"
Was it a coincidence that the Shunamite's woman's son came to
life after sneezing 7 times?
7. Samson: was
the tormentor in chief of the philistines , he was one of the most politically
relevant men in his time, until Delilah
caused the Seven (7) locks on Samson’s Hair to be shaved No one had dominion
over him Judges 16 vs 19 -20. His
political empire and relevance disappeared when the seven locks was shaved
8. David : was
both Political and spiritual Leader of his Nation, but have you considered how
he was chosen? Why did God reject all his brothers? It’s no coincidence that
David's father had seven Sons and David was the (7th) and God chose him. . 1
chronicles 2 v 1- 15
9. Enoch: this is
another Special personality, He was the 7th Man and it was recorded that he
walked with God and guess what, Death
had no power over him God took him, he never experienced death!
Gen 5 vs 24 Jude 1 vs 14
10.Nebuchadnezzar :
was one of the most powerful political figures of his time he conquered Israel
and took the Israelites captive.
Nebuchadnezzar orchestrated his own embarrassment, as if
condemning God's servant's to death was not enough he ordered that the furnace
be heated 7 times (7th)
When the Number 7 showed up, the furnace was digitally
transformed into an Air conditioning
system for Shedrack, Meshach and Abednego but same fire consumed those who
threw them there Daniel 3 vs 1 -26
SCIENCE AND THE
MYSTERY In Physics we understand that white light is
made up of 7 different colors in
Chemistry the 7 diatomic element(Hydrogen (H2) Nitrogen (N2)Oxygen (O2)
Fluorine (F2) Chlorine (Cl2) Iodine (I2) Bromine (Br2) are the reason why the
earth can support life, without oxygen the earth will be inhabitable, we get
Water from the combination of the Hydrogen and Oxygen (H20), Nitrogen the most
essential element for Plant life amongst
several others.
IN PART 2 OF THIS
SERIES WE WILL DISCUSS THE QUESTION WHY THE NUMBER 7 IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT IN
POLITICS (ESPECIALLY NIGERIAN POLITICS)
Nevertheless the Number 7 will be of no VALUE to you if you are not BORN AGAIN!!!!!!
Give your life to Jesus and see God move in your life like
never before .Stay blessed !
