Today is Canada Day, the day we celebrate the establishment of the Dominion of Canada.

A not-so-publicized fact in mainstream media is the fact that the choice of the word “Dominion” was biblically inspired. In fact, even today you will see emblazoned on the Peace Tower in our capital city of Ottawa (among the Parliament Buildings) these words from Psalm 72:8: “He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth.”

Let me also share with our American subscribers something that you may not know. Around the time of independence of your great country, many who were loyal to the British Empire were heading north to our great land. Known as the United Empire Loyalists, they played a significant role in the settling and establishment of Canada in 1867.

Needless to say not everyone was pleased with this exodus. Some wanted to take aggressive action and prevent those loyal to the English monarch from leaving America.

It was then that one of your prophets proclaimed these words: “Do not hinder these people. Let them move to Canada. Do not seek to incorporate the land of Canada into America. I am in the independence of America from Britain, and will mightily use this country. But Canada has been reserved by Me for the last days for a special work.”

We believe that we are beginning to see the fulfilment of this so-called Puritan Prophecy right now here in Canada.

Over the years, many anointed men and women of God have heard and declared words from the heart of the Father for Canada.

One of these mouthpieces of God was Dr. Yonggi Cho, founder of the mighty work of God known as the Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, South Korea (which until recently was the largest church in the world). Here is how he describes what happened when he was travelling through Canada in 1984:

“Wherever I went, the Holy Spirit spoke in my heart that God was going to raise up tremendous churches in Canada and that Canada would be used as a missionary sending country, and that Canada would open the way for Jesus Christ to return to this earth.

I was afraid to confess that when I was praying…I was afraid because I already thought that America was far greater than Canada. If ever God would use any country, He should use America instead of Canada, because America is a country with greater resources and more population.

But again and again God spoke to my heart that He was going to use Canada, so finally, in Toronto, with great inner faith, I prophesied as the Holy Spirit anointed me:

 “I really believe that God is going to bless Canada and the Canadian Church is going to rise up once again and go to the four corners of the world and bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to pave the way for His Second Coming.”

More recently, in April 2013, renowned prophet Peter Kumar prophesied that millions of Canadians are turning to Jesus over the next 2-3 years. In July of last year, the Lord released a revelation through me called The Barrie to Buffalo Portal, in which He showed how the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) was key to making disciples of the nations. As those who are already living in the GTA representing 212 different countries of the world come to Jesus, they will then go into all the world!

We believe we are in the midst of the fulfillment of these words as well right now.

So, today, dear DWOD friend, may I ask you to join all Canadian Christians in praying these words, as our Lord Himself instructed us in Matthew 9:38: “Lord of the harvest, thrust forth (Greek ekballo) labourers into your harvest.”

Please pray for Canada, eh?
