KEY VERSE: Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong – Joel 3:10
TEXT: Joel 3:9-13 (KJV)
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Those who choose in life to take Satan’s side shall sooner rather than later, find out the futility of fighting against God. They would also be struck by the realisation that there is no sitting on the fence either in the warfare raging between light and darkness, or in the impending great end-time battles.

Our passage is a prophetic portrayal of the final showdown between the forces of good headed by Christ and the hordes of evil led by the Antichrist. The battle of Armageddon shall take place just before the commencement of Christ’s 1,000-year reign. This battle would be man’s penultimate act of rebellion against the dominion of God. The battle of Gog and Magog at the completion of the millennial reign of Christ will be the last.
A striking fallout of this battle is in the call to arms. Prophet Isaiah had earlier prophesied of the kingdom of Christ in which all are bidden to “Beat their swords into pruning-hooks, and their spears into plougshares.” Prophet Micah repeated the prophecy using the same words. The conversion of weapons into wealth creation tools means there would be no more war. It is a confirmation of the universal peace, safety and prosperity that will be the hallmarks of Christ’s reign. Conversely, Joel’s prophecy highlights how sin converts the instruments of peace into the implements of war. It represents a reversal of the conditions, under the tyranny of Satan, where there is no peace but war: “Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears.” To expect a modicum of peace under the dominion of the devil is to misjudge the diabolical bent of one who is evil personified.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
