Text: Joel 2:1-7

There is an urgent cry in heaven for strong, superior, and supernatural soldiers. The exigency of dangers gives a clarion call unto every soldier of God. It is why God is saying out loud that He is in need of strong people in His vineyard.

Reason why God is looking for strong superior and supernatural soldiers

1. We are in the days of evil
2. Abnormal is now becoming the order of the day
3. Recently, people have now received fake and abandoned the original; believing the original does not exist again.

There are two major realms of existence in life; the natural and the supernatural realms. God is hereby calling us into the realm of the supernatural. God called Samuel for this reason in 1 Samuel 3:11.

In Joel 1:7 God showed us the qualities of those people God is looking for as His strong, superior and supernatural soldiers. Here are the qualities…

1. They follow instructions and orders.
2. They are disciplined. It is through discipline that they grow in spiritual stamina, capacity, and authority.
3. They are determined, poised, and determined to do the right thing always.
4. They do not get in each other’s way.
5. They are fearless. “…evil flees at the glance of their shadows – Job 39:10”
6. They are synonymous with earthquakes and tornado
7. They are passionate about the kingdom service. “… passion for the things of God keeps you away from sin – Ps 69:9”. Passion makes you completely sought out for God. It begins before purpose, and it brings prosperity, progress, and power
8. They exhibit a lifestyle of consistency
9. They exhibit purity of hearts, thoughts, and minds.
10. Love for God is their watchword and drive.
11. They tarry to carry

In conclusion, Joel 2:13-14 claims that to be part of this army, you have to change your life not your cloth and come back to God.
