THE JUBILEE CONNECTION

The Jubilee season is upon Eastern Africa and the Great Lakes region! It is a defining season and a time when God will begin to move the region to a new level it has never experienced before. God’s representatives on earth – the Body of Christ; ought to know how to usher in, and steward this season to its full potential so that the enemy will not steal it and redirect it into a negative path of destruction and death.

Some of the values that God will begin to release in the region include: return to the place of inheritance, restitution of that which was wrongfully taken away including grabbed land, restoration of that which was lost or destroyed, a season of the Lord’s favor over the region, a season of revenge- it is the year of the vengeance of our Lord over any areas of unrighteousness and injustice at every level of society, a season of repentance, release of captives – those who have had age old bondages, release of the rich resources locked in these nations, reconciliation in certain previously unresolved cases of age-old feuds; among many other values.  These values need to be stewarded to their maximum potential for the benefit of all.

Tanzania will blow their jubilee cornet i.e. the 49^th year entering their 50^th, in the year 2010 (9 Dec 1961). That will also be an election year for that nation.  Uganda will follow closely on 8 October 2011 (8 Oct 1962). It will also be a very decisive election year for that nation.  Southern Sudan was involved in their national election in April 2010, a defining season for that region, followed by the end of the 7 year peace treaty signed in 2005 calling cease-fire between the South and Northern Sudan. This came after 21 years of fighting between the two sides of the nation. The nation could disintegrate into war again or move into a season of greater peace.

2011 is also the season that a referendum determining whether Southern Sudan should become an independent nation will be held. It is a defining season and a potential once-in-a-lifetime jubilee opportunity for Southern Sudan. Rwanda and Burundi follow next blowing their Jubilee cornet on 1 July 2011 (1 Jul 1962). They already had election in Burundi and the incumbent won the elections in June 2010. Kenya will be next with their jubilee cornet blowing on 12 December 2012 (12 Dec 1963). They will hold decisive national elections in that same year. Congo and Somalia already entered their Jubilee year in June 26^th and 30^th respectively (26^th and 30^th Jun 1960).  (For more info on Jubilee get your copy of “Enter Your Jubilee” ©2009 Abu Bako)
