WHAT SHALL BE ON THE MORROW

James 4:13-14, KJV

"13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

God would want me to ask you. Do you know what shall be on the morrow? Do you have an inkling, glimpse, hint and insight into what your world and the global stage might hold tomorrow? Can you forecast it? Can you predict it? Have you seen it all?

No matter your professionalism and the kind of accuracy you choose to profess, I believe you don't know what tomorrow holds except it's granted to you. Nobody actually knows what tomorrow holds is a true saying. That's because instability could rock when we anticipate peace and peace can be maintained when we anticipate destabilization. That's why that Bible verse says, "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow...even your life can be taken." That saying is to those who are boastfully speaking, "They shall do this and that - be in that city or that other one without acknowledging God in their thinking." This is not about not taking thought to plan but rather it is the exclusion of acknowledging God in one's plans. 

Speaking of not knowing what might happen tomorrow as that passage says, I'll have us look at Elisha and the sons of the prophets. They suggested enlarging where they dwell. Elisha wouldn't have followed them until someone had asked that he should be pleased to follow them. They never anticipated that something would go wrong. In all their futuristic plans, they couldn't have known that someone's axe head would be lost in the water. Even the axe head was borrowed. What if Elisha had not been asked to follow? What if they had acted unilaterally all alone without acknowledging God in his life?

II Kings 6:5, KJV

"But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed."

Rather the Bible is teaching us humility and acknowledgement of the divine. Instead of boastful railings, it says, "But ye ought to say, if the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that."

This last verse should communicate something deeper to us. Our life depends on God. He even controls what we're able to do. Your existence tomorrow is not even guaranteed. It depends on God. This is a direct challenge to human confidence and independence.

"If the Lord wills" is not a mere confession. It is rather the posture of your heart. It is a constant awareness that God decides and not you. Look at the Bible.

Psalm 37:5

"Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."

Another place says in Proverbs 21:31, "The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD" (KJV).

Human responsibility is key but divine sovereignty cannot be forfeited. May you have the heart that acknowledges God in all his ways. May you always remember your Creator even in the tiniest details of your life. 

PRAYER: May this awareness be in me that you're the Lord. Therefore, let your name be glorified.

RESILIENCE!

Ecclesiastes 4:12, KJV

"And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken."

I once talked about building a multilayered system into one's life. When you do, you can endure, withstand and defend against collapse. When the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 11:2, "Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth", what the Bible is teaching us is resilience. 

A man who has shares or investment in one organization only still doesn't have economic resilience. A man who only has one stream of income hasn't built resilience either. Resilience is if the brook dries up, do you have a widow of Zarephath as another stream of income that can feed you and family for many days. Continuity and survival is why we build resilience. Resilience comes from building a multidimensional system so that one can kickstart as soon as the other(s) fails. This way, you can never crash or experience disappointment. Rather, you'll always be borne up instead of dashing your foot on a stone. Instead of being disgraced and broken, you'll rather receive aid and intervention from where else you have sown and invested something in your days of abundance. 

That is building resilience. It is moulding a system that will ensure your continuity even when collapses begin - irrespective of what type it is. The dictionary has defined the word "resilience" in a number of ways. Let's see some. "The physical property of material that can resume its shape after being stretched or deformed; elasticity."

"The positive capacity of an organizational system or company to adapt and return to equilibrium after a crisis, failure or any kind of disruption, including: an outage, natural disasters, man-made disasters, terrorism, or similar (particularly IT systems, archives).

"The capacity to resist destruction or defeat, especially when under extreme pressure."

All those three definitions explain something great about resilience - the life that can persist and not collapse when besieged on all sides. The Bible verse for today says, "And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him..."

This part begins to show us the importance of building an anti-fragility system. Brittleness will collapse and cannot withstand. We all know that one man can easily get beaten up or bullied. But when they are two, they can easily stand against their bully and defend against him. That is the importance of not being alone but more importantly, building resilience. That second layer (second person) that is added to yourself is your layer for resilience. Then, the Bible takes it further by saying, "A threefold cord is not easily broken..."

People have mostly applied this to couples in marriage and God as the third cord. We may not debate that but that verse is only telling us an obvious truth. If you weave a yearn of three threads together, how easily snapped are they? It'll be hard to snap them. That's because each of the yearns serves as a buffer and aid to the other from being broken. So, resilience is actively being portrayed in that. In the face of pressure, you'll continue because you're not alone but are in a working relationship where partners who can help you bounce back and continue when crisis strikes. 

A single tree doesn't make a forest. You can't have a poem in an anthology. In building any system that will resist collapse and defend against it, it must be a multilayered system - woven together to stand in unison to defend against pressure or crisis. Let me show you what it's like to build such a thorough system that doesn't fail or allow any defeat. 

I Kings 19:15-17, KJV

"15 And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:  

16 And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. 

17 And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay."

These verses are about God's coming judgement. The "sword" is symbolic of judgement. At this time, Israel had gone deep into idolatry under Ahab and Jezebel and God is seeking to do a cleansing - a deep one. 

Hazael symbolizes the external pressure (war from Syria). Jehu is an internal military (he overthrew Ahab’s house violently). Elisha is the prophetic authority (God’s word exposing and confronting sin).

Together, they form a kind of complete system, like a net no one can slip through. If anyone in rebellion or idolatry escapes the judgement the first one brings, they can't possibly escape the second 'sword' but if that still happens, the third set-up will deliver and implement the will of God. 

That is building a system that can endure, keep continuity and performance of its purpose no matter what comes. God wants you to build this kind of buffering system into your life. When you build it spiritually (having spiritual partners), financially (having streams of income) and in other needful areas, what will break you will be tired out. You can then always win or endure until aid comes!

PRAYER: Lord, show me critical relationships to sharpen for resilience. Teach me the company of wealth and its building.

INSURED!

II Kings 7:8, KJV

"And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it."

What you do with resources when it comes into your hands is more powerful than having that resources itself. Also, what we do with abundance in its season is a greater wisdom signalling our survival in days to come. 

When the seven years of abundance came upon Egypt, the advice of Joseph was to take the fifth part of everything harvested and store it up. In his words, "it'll be food for the coming seven years of famine" (Gen. 41:34-36).

God is not unjust. He seeks to equate you to the challenge. That's why the Bible says in I Corinthians 10:13, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

Most often, God will always visit you with the way of escape before the problem comes. It may be by preparing you for hard days or by giving you superfluous abundance that could be invested for days of stringencies. 

Look at these lepers. They know they are thrusted out people. They know they have no inheritance in the city. They know they are left to plan for themselves. And guess what they do in the day of abundance.

After they had met their primary and most pressing need of eating and drinking, they immediately insured themselves. The Bible says, "...and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it."

Do you see what they did? They didn't insure themselves once. They did it over and over again. They hid silver, gold and raiment. These are useful items that they can fall back on when the season of abundance the prophet prophesied and which has come is over. 

That reminds me of this same principle of "repeated action" that Elijah did on Mount Carmel. When it was time to pour water round the altar, he told them to do it over and over again. What you do over and over again is what has effective potency to save you. Once is not enough. Saving and investing must become your habit. That's the only thing that can leave a mark on you or be resilient to stand in hard times. 

I Kings 18:33-35, KJV

"33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood. 

34 And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.  

35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water."

You see, if Elijah had only filled the trench with water once or twice, he might not have the testimony of water running round about the altar as recorded. It was his repeated actions that gave him that kind of overflowing or bustling abundance. 

In insuring yourself against the harsh economic weather of the future, it is not what you do once. You must do it over and over again. Even the Bible says, "Joseph gathered grains like the sands of the seashore until he left counting" (Gen. 41:49). 

You must have enough bustling and resilient investment/savings that can tackle the cold winter that's coming. All days will never be the same. Seasons will change. Interruptions will happen. That is why you must invent how to continue when those interruptions or shake ups happen. Your survival is a priority to God. So, keep saving. Keep investing! Carry out and hide. Carry out again and hide until it flows and run roundabout.

PRAYER: Lord, I lay and pile up embarkment for the future.

YOUR COORDINATES!

Genesis 19:1, KJV

"And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground."

The Bible says, "And there came two angels to Sodom at evening and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom..." Your coordinates is everything. 

A lot of people aren't locatable at all. These angels are divine emissaries. They have come to confirm if the evil that has ascended to the Lord of Sodom and Gomorrah is as it has ascended. They could have bypassed everybody. Nobody could have seen them let alone stop them. However, at their appearance/arrival, they came falling into Lot's hands. As if he had a witness concerning them; he didn't lose them at all. Rather, the Bible says, "And Lot seeing them, rose up to meet them..."

You see, Lot is well positioned. He was at the gate. Those divine emissaries didn't pass him by. Even while at the gate, he is both aware and awake. He is sensitive and full of ears around his body. He could discern that these men should be convinced to dwell with him. 

In short, what God was sending to Sodom and Gomorrah met him well positioned and ready to receive them. It is this divine perception and welcoming of these divine guests that leads to the saving of his house amidst a corrupt and perverted generation. 

The Spirit is asking, "What is your coordinates? Are you at all well positioned? Are you where you should be? Are you hale and hearty spiritually? Do you still have ears and discernment all over your body? Or, you have been shifted or taken away from your position?"

There are those that would have been taken away before such a visitation of God. We read of the first family who at visitation time God couldn't locate. They were nowhere to be found in the presence of God. God had to raise an alarm. He had to begin to call them. Why? They were not locatable because they have sinned and have gone to hide themselves having discovered themselves - in the shame and guilt that sin brought. 

Genesis 3:8-9, KJV

"8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 

9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"

Their coordinates ought to be in the presence of the Lord. That's where they ought to dwell and be all the days of their lives. That's where they should have been found. However, they lost their bearings. They couldn't find their coordinates. So, they wandered off. They took off and hid themselves away. This made God begin to beg to have their coordinates. The Lord Almighty begins to call, "Where are you? Let me meet you. Let me see you. Let me know where you are. We have discussions. We need to talk." Imagine that!

A lot of people have absconded from God's presence like Adam and Eve did. God is saying, "The last time we came, they were here. What could now have happened to them? Where are they?" You see, they have lost their coordinates. They are no longer locatable. Heaven can no longer detect them before God. They have lost their bearings. It is disastrous because they won't be able to receive any incoming that God is sending. Just like Adam couldn't welcome God upon His appearance, they also having lost capability to hear or discern God will miss God. 

God is looking for people who will take their stands in His presence. Irrespective of what the pursuit of bread becomes, God still doesn't want anything to dislocate them or relocate them away from His presence. God is saying, "I am not done with them. My mercy is given every morning. The words that I speak are very often (Matt.4:4). They ought to be available in my presence, in the spirit and in the Lord to hear/receive it and trap it." Abraham has that testimony. The Bible says, "And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD" (Genesis 18:22). 

These were the same divine emissaries that came to inspect and met Lot at the gates. Abraham was standing well established where he could make contact with heaven. That place says, "Though they departed from Abraham, yet Abraham stood yet before the Lord." Why? Business is not over. Abraham knows transactions could still be done. God's presence is where communication is sent and is received. It is where things are influenced or changed in the Spirit. It is the place where you can have a discussion with the Lord to save people alive. That's the place Abraham was when he was bantering that God should spare Sodom and Gomorrah for the righteous people in it. 

You must find your coordinates - be at your bus stop. Elijah found his - standing in God's presence undebatably. 

I Kings 17:1, KJV

"And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word."

Mind the phrase, "Before whom I stand." The question is, "Before who do you stand?" Are you standing in God's presence or before another god? May you have the testimony of someone who stands before God's presence continually. Elijah couldn't have overblown it more than that. He said, "As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand."

May you not lose your standing! May you not be found to have departed from the faith - losing your standing because of compromise and sin. May you not concede grounds to the devil. May you maintain your integrity like Job. May you be like Mount Zion that cannot be shifted but abides forever. 

PRAYER: Lord, where has my relationship and spiritual standing with you come under attacks. LIBERATE me!

WHEN MERCY EXTENDS ITS ARM TO YOU

Genesis 19:12, KJV

"And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:"

Mercy can call for an extension (extending its arm to you) but the question is, "Will you take it?" I pray for you that you will be hale and hearty spiritually to hear the voice of mercy when it calls. May you not say "no" on the day of salvation. 

The divine emissaries that were sent to check for God if what has become of Sodom and Gomorrah was so were accommodated by Lot. They owe Lot and they show their gratitude to him by letting him into what the Lord has set to do. 

They told Lot, "Do you have anyone here besides?" They even listed names.  "Son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:"

The matter is urgent. It has to be attended to immediately. As a matter of fact, they had to hurry him up when he began to be reluctant (Gen. 19:16). 

When those angels asked if Lot had anyone in town that needed to be saved also; was it that they saw that he had sons in law? I asked because they mentioned specifically, "sons in law." The truth is that they could have judged using the marriageable age/stature of Lot's daughters. Whether that was true or not, God is committed not only to saving you but your household. When God saved Noah, he wasn't the only beneficiary. His family was part. Whenever God moves in this manner, it is to your saving and your household. At times, the salvation of the Lord can cover friends and relatives. Consider Cornelius - the centurion (Acts 10:24, 44-45). It can even include extended family members. Consider Rahab - the harlot (Joshua 6:23). 

The sons in law of Lot aren't covenant people. They are Sodom and Gomorrah people. However, their association with Lot is beginning to pay off. They're beginning to reap the dividend of having known Lot and having desired to marry his daughters. As of this time, Lot's two daughters are betrothed to them. So, they are potential sons in law but in truth they are already family because they've formed special closeness and ties with Lot's daughters/family. So, such people can no longer be ignored or left to perdition. That made the angels include them in the plan. "Do you have anybody else here? Son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:"

It was mercy that included them. It was mercy that added them to the list. It was mercy that chose them. Mercy offered them an opportunity to escape destruction of sinners. Mercy gave them an extended arm. However, they treated it with levity and rejected it. 

What does the Bible say?

Genesis 19:14, KJV

"And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law."

Did you see that later part? It says, "But was as one that mocked [played, joked] unto his sons in law."

It is on this basis that they reject God's salvation. They are part of God's salvation plan. Because of Lot, God had to count them in. People can be given to you or redeemed for your sake. That happened frequently in the Bible. 

I pray for you that mercy will always be extended to you. They actually didn't deserve it but at least, God's mercy still came to patronize them in order to give them an exception. They obviously are not as corrupt as other indigenous people because they have plans to get married [to women - Lot's daughters and not men]. They were heterosexuals (not homosexuals). That shows they are not gays. However, they aren't believers. If they were believers - believing in the God of Abraham or had witnessed His acts for once, they wouldn't have doubted that such a thing could happen. Lot wouldn't have looked like a joker to them. That rather happened because in their thinking, where would destruction come from?

God wants you to cry out to Him this morning that you won't miss the appearance of His mercy. May you not be a mocker and a waster of divine things when they are lowered or made available to you. May you rather jump at it, grasping and grabbing it and using it for your benefit and to God's glory. 

As for you, you'll have been gone before the sword and predicted destruction comes. I see you on the mountain. I see you far off - in the distance (separated from the wickedness of the wicked). 

PRAYER: Lord, may Your Word not look like rubble to me. May I not lack discernment of times and seasons. I escape to the mountain. I am saved/safe in Christ.

THE HEAD LAMP!

II Kings 8:1, KJV

"Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years."

Predictive prophecy can come to you yourself or to someone with a recognized function in your life in order to give it to you. This woman didn't receive a prophecy from a stranger. She received one from Elisha and as far as we know, they've been in a spiritual relationship for years. If you can't remember right away, this is the Shunem woman who sees Elisha passing, perceives him as a holy man of God and speaks to her husband on bringing Elisha into their home. Later on, they built a place for Elisha and furnished it (II Kings 4:10). 

So, this woman is not a stranger to Elisha and Elisha isn't a stranger to her. It was even through Elisha's prophecy that she now carried a son (II Kings 4:16-17). So, she is a beneficiary of the prophetic stream of Elisha. She has tasted his ministry first hand and there's no confusion that Elisha is a holy man of God. 

On this occasion however, Elisha is saying a famine is coming and she should flee to sojourn wherever she may find. This is the importance of the head lamp. Do you know what the head lamp does? It sees far into the distance that the tyres will soon come to tread. A driver sees into the distance stretched before him through the aid of the head lamps. Without the head lamps, where to turn or go is usually unclear. 

The prophecy of Elisha to her here is coming from a place of relationship and having served as her cover. This woman is enjoying the prophet. Seeds that she has sown even when she never had the heart that it would one day bring her blessings ended up doing more than enough for her. First, she received a child through that and now she's receiving a much needed guidance again. 

The prediction says, "Go, thou and thy household. Go and live wherever you may find, for the Lord has called for a famine and it will last for seven years."

We have entered into a time where you have to see it to escape it. Without seeing it, you can't but be trapped. I'll keep saying it. The Bible says, "The prudent man foresees the evil and he hides himself but the simple passes on and are punished" (Prov. 22:3). 

Break off from being without guidance and instruction. Either it comes to you through your constant relationship with God or it is complemented by the relationship you have with other brethren or ministers. You must always be in the know of what tomorrow says. 

That place says, "...for the Lord hath called for a famine..."

It means it is inevitable. It means it is established by the Lord to happen. That is why she had to pack her bags and leave because danger was coming. May you not be without warning. May you not continue to live without a change of attitude. Those who have no instruction or those who are disobedient to it are those who will be trapped by its consequences. The Bible says, "For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark." 

Did you see that? Despite Noah warning them, they didn't change their attitude. They rather kept on in their debauchery. They never had a change of heart. They never were serious. They never were contemplative for once. They never regretted their actions until Noah entered the ark and the flood came. The Bible says, "...until the day that Noah entered the ark." It was that day that heralded consequences. It was only then they saw the harms of having despised warnings. It was then they cried, shouted for salvation without any help being near. You can know too late. 

What instruction or warning is coming to you lately? What has the Lord told you lately? Heed warnings. Be guided! Take actions by them. Only then can you escape the imminent dangers. 

PRAYER: Father, I am open to whatever you want to communicate. May I not be alone without Words that come from Your mouth.

DIVINE COINCIDENCE!

II Kings 8:5, KJV

"And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life."

Say, "Mine will not be difficult to accomplish!" Say, "Mine happens with ease." Say, "Before arrival, God's angels go ahead of me to make mine possible."

That's exactly how it happened for the Shunemite woman. According to God's Word, she left to sojourn in the land of the Philistines because of a predicted famine. She dwelt in that place for seven years - leaving home, leaving farms. 

At the end of seven years, she returned home but things were not the same again. She would need to now appeal to the king for the release of her properties. She was in the process of doing that when she met with divine coincidence. Ask what it is. 

Shortly before her arrival, Gehazi had been recounting to the king the great deeds of Elisha as demanded of him. As a matter of fact, they were on her case. Gehazi was telling him about the woman whose child was raised from the dead (II Kings 4:35). That's the story and narration Gehazi was talking about when this woman entered the palace and appealed to the king for the recovery and release of her properties. 

II Kings 8:3-4, KJV

"3 And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.

4 And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done."

How lovely that is? How timely that is? Imagine walking in flesh and blood to concretize what someone pines to hear about you. Nothing like this affirms and serves as convincing evidence. The king not only heard the story, he saw the woman and the child on whom the miracle was wrought. How blessed his eyes are! Gehazi said, "...my Lord O King, this is the woman and her son, whom Elisha restored to life."

To preachers, you will not only preach, tell narratives but rather it'll be backed up by power and evidence. May you have evidence to present. That's when it'll be undeniable. That's when you can convincingly win your hearers to yourself. Even if the king doubted the story of Gehazi before the woman's arrival, her arrival in flesh and blood settles and clears his doubt. Imagine just having the evidence of your ministry walk in where there's doubt, arguments and contention about how effective or great you have worked the calling. This is how God will shut those asking and querying you for the fruits of your ministry up. God will bring an undeniable proof to seal the truth you have said or that you will teach. You will not only be a story teller but an evidence giver. You'll also be able to say, "...this is the woman and her son whom Elisha restored to life."

At this point, doubt is cleared and denial is exterminated. So shall it be!

PRAYER: Father, back me up with proofs. May I not be alone without evidence.
