IT IS THE SERPENT THAT BEGUILED ME

Genesis 3:13, KJV

"And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."

An incident that happened some years ago came to mind. I did something that wasn't very good and my heart judged me. I was convicted. Before then however, I was absolving myself. I caught myself giving excuses. Then the Spirit cut me quit.

It was as sharp as a parent rebuking his son. What the Lord brought to my mind was Genesis 3:13 and immediately, I stopped in my tracks, stopped the excuses and took responsibility.

There are those who shift blames. There are those who if you allow will keep giving excuses. They know what they are doing. They only want to humour the situation from appearing less serious than it is and appease their own guiltiness. For that reason, they'll rather make a scape goat of another and not themselves.

That is irresponsibility of a sort. We must be frank with ourselves and must be willing to take the blame where we are wrong. Denial does nobody any good. What you deny, you'll live in its oblivion. Since it's not existing before you, you'll never take it seriously let alone seek to amend your ways on it. You'll call yourself alright. Whereas, you're sick, needing a doctor.

I'm writing to parents also. God wants you to teach your wards responsibility. Someone who has mastered responsibility is also very accountable. When they are wrong and are approached to give an account, they quickly prostrate and accept the blame. This is one of the traits that reveals the humble heart of David. He doesn't argue or go into arguing when he is wrong. As soon as he sees it, he humbles himself. He feels truly sorry.

This is the heart we should all cultivate and instill in our children. Take no for an answer when something happens with the participation of your kid in what went wrong. God asked Eve, "what is this that you have done?" Eve is obviously afraid. She could only reply, "the serpent beguiled me and I did eat." In essence, she wanted the serpent to be treated as the culprit.

In other words, Eve successfully gave an excuse. She shifted the bulk on the serpent. In truth, she was taking a cue from Adam. Before time, Adam had fallen into this same pit. When God asked, "Have you eaten of the tree which I commanded you not to eat of?" His response was, "the woman which you gave to me gave me the fruit and I ate." Both of them looked for ways to relieve their offence and make it look less than it appears. They pointed elsewhere. They didn't claim their mistakes. They didn't apologize. They didn't fall on their faces or become sorrowful at heart, seeking mercy. Rather, they all put up a defence as if they could win the Almighty!

This same trait is in all of us. It is in me and it is in you. I want to believe it'll be in your kids also. However, you must teach them to live above it and not succumb to it when they stumble. Putting up a defence doesn't solve what you undeniably participated in. Adam, Eve and the serpent all received just recompense for their defiance or cunning. Someone who keeps arguing in his heart that he wouldn't have done it if not that he was seduced hasn't taken responsibility yet. He hasn't come to the realization that he actually made a mistake. Irrespective of who prompted him on, if the case gets to court, he'll face the wrath of the law for rape, burglar, slander, libel or whatever he did wrong.

Let us stop saying it was Satan that beguiled us whenever we slipped. This accusation will put us in relief mode to keep thinking of ourselves as inherently good when we need help. Sure, Satan could have done that. But everything is not always Satan. At times, it is our own lust. Your own fleshly desires. The Bible says, "then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1:15, KJV). That's why it's important to think of things above so you don't fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Unless you hearken to this, you may do otherwise.

The Bible says, "and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

You see, that is the lust of the eyes/flesh that got her. Did the serpent come to her? Yes! But she also played a role. Her role is what made it possible for the serpent to have a hand. If she had rebuked the serpent, it would have left to come back at another occasion.

So whenever you help Satan to have a hand, you at all cannot be absolved. You're a co-participant and you should be ready to have your rebuke meted to you. So, stop the blame game and accept the role you played in landing that unfortunate outcome. Apologize and seek God's forgiveness for it and seek to act differently and become better next time.

So parents, don't let anyone veil your eyes with what looks like genuine excuses. If that boy or girl at home was a co-participant, please don't spare him/her. Let him or her give accounts. Deal with them! It is robbery and an act of dubiousness to blame everything on the serpent saying, "the serpent beguiled (enchanted, seduced, confused, cast a spell on you) which made you sin. Stop blaming your parents, siblings etc. The part you play is the most critical. So, let me ask, what part have you been playing? Good or bad?

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to assist the flesh against myself. I shall not fall under the seduction of Satan or the world.

DREAMER, DREAM DREAMS!

Don't stop being a dreamer! What would we have been without dreams?

Without dreams, life will be unstimulating.

Without dreams, life will look scorched and unripened.

Without dreams, it'll look as if you have no life and you aren't living.

Even with dreams that are still in incubation, you'll feel rigorous, able and empowered - filled with the visions of tomorrow.

I know something that can inflate you with hope.

It is DREAMS!

When you are full of them, you'll not be tired easily when the roads are rough. You'll rather mount up with wings as eagles - always having renewed strength for every new day.

It is those without dreams that give up.

It is those without dreams or that let it go that eventually get frustrated - saying, "I have no man to help me into the water."

When you have dreams and you hold onto your dreams, your dreams will become a force, pulling the necessary people and resources towards you in no time.

It'll look as if heaven and earth just came together to just manufacture such tailored help for you.

That's to the man with dreams - big dreams that fills him with rigour, vitality and strength to attack the new day.

Look, if your dreams don't die, you won't.

If dreams still breathe and leap in you, you also will display excitement in your daily life.

Watch those without joy and hope.

Their dreams are dead. They have nothing to expect or hope for.

But I guess that's not you.

Therefore dream!

Dream of the days to come.

The tomorrow that you haven't seen.

The future that'll pay you off.

Dream of all the goodies and welfare you desire.

There's a power outworking in you that can do it.

Ephesians 3:20, KJV

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us..."

Let us make that verse to read like this:

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or dream (think)..."

Mark the word, "think."

When you do, you actually DREAM!

Dream!

Go on and dream today.

Think of things.

Think of things that should be... and they'll be.

The dreamer will have his dreams!

I say it again, "you'll have what you think on."

Don't you know that?

You should know there's a power working in you. It is God's to bring to pass your conceptions.

Don't stop dreaming.

When you dream, you already figure out the infrastructures that should be.

You already see the days to come that will come.

And then, your body will come under its spell - to actualize it and be that thing.

Don't stop dreaming buddy.

There's hope for a tree that's cut down. If its stump is still in the earth, it'll sprout up again.

Just at the scent of water!

AM I NOT ABLE TO PROMOTE YOU TO HONOUR INDEED?

Numbers 22:37, KJV

"And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?"

May you not come under pressure. When you come under pressure to survive or be accepted of people, then it'll be of no consequence to you agreeing to calls that come from Balaks. May you also not love the reward of iniquity. There's nobody who doesn't fall by it.

You know the story. Balak would love Balaam to curse Israel so that he might be able to subdue them. That tells you something about what curses do. It subdues and shrinks spiritually so that the enemy might have an upper hand physically. This is exactly Balak's plan. However, God would not consent. When God came down to Balaam, His response to him was, "Who are these people with you? You shall not go with them. You must not curse the people because they are blessed" (Numbers 22:9,12).

This is how God defended the portion of Israel. Israel was not there to speak for himself but God did defend him. This is how God fights your battle behind you.

However, Balaam would want to go. It shows in how he falsely sought to twist God's hands until he secured His permissive will to go. Even when God obstructed him with the angel with the fiery sword, he still didn't fear nor run away for dear life when the ass spoke. Why? His heart has become seared. Through that repeated disobedience, his conscience has become callous and more deadened. His eyes were on the promised rewards. He was in pursuit of that. Meanwhile, God eventually allowed him to have his wishes on the ground that he would only speak for Him.

But beyond all these, something innate is in Balaam that sincerely wanted to do what Balak asked for. He wanted to prove himself to Balak. He sincerely wanted to curse Israel; only that God obstructed him repeatedly (Numbers 23).

It is upon his meeting with Balak after several delays that the utterance we've been considering, "am I not able to promote you to honour indeed" was spoken?

And that's exactly why Balaam had been giving attention to come. When Balak sent his second errand to him; he bid them to woo him with these enticing words.

Numbers 22:17, KJV

"For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people."

You see! It is that Balak reinforces when they meet by questioning, "am I not able to promote you indeed to honour?"

Any honour that doesn't come from God should not satisfy you. You shouldn't receive any honour in ministry, business or life that'll make you guilty at heart or one that always looks over his shoulders. Any help not coming from above cannot do you good in the long run. Don't come under the pressure to perform or be in the good book of anyone. Don't be a puppet to people - one who can be swung to perform just by the promises of great rewards. You are not a Balaam! Your needs are supplied and met by the living God! Yahweh Jireh!

You are God's child! You are God's minister! You are called to an obedient life. Any honour that God is not doing you isn't worth it. No God's honour will put you under pressure or have attached strings. Every honour that wants a commitment from you before disbursal isn't really an honour but a trap! Such will actually be to your downfall especially where God has expressly warned against it. Flee! Flee from it!

PRAYER: Lord, in this rapid and current moving life where hardship is everywhere, may I not remove my anchor from You! I shall not be enticed by the rewards of iniquity.

THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD

Let us talk about "The acceptable year of the Lord." Have you heard of that before? There's something like that. There's an acceptable year of the Lord. Those who discern it can take its handle, launch by it and benefit from what it brings.

May we not be without whistle blowers in this life. That's why God sets prophets in the body of Christ. They declare seasons upon people as God desires to bring it on them. Prophets are hearers and whistle blowers on what God wants to do. They hear and they declare. They perceive and they proclaim.

Eccl.11:1-2, KJV

"1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.

2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth."

Who would tell us that a season like the one above has come upon us? How do we know that it is time for us to cast our bread upon the waters? Else, we cannot have change of behavior/attitude. The reason is because sowing also cannot just be done. There's a season for sowing. There's a time when sowing is done and it will guarantee bountiful harvest or return. Only God can proclaim that time into existence for people to mark, join its move and then have results according to what God has declared.

Let's look at Isaiah 61:1-2.

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn."

There are certain parts of these verses that appeal to what the Lord is saying I should say. Let's cut and bring them out.

First is the tail end of verse 1 that says, "To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound."

Did it surprise you that the greatest anointed man (Jesus) that ever walked this earth had this as His function/manifestation. He proclaimed liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that were bound.

His declaration was a spirit declaration that created the realities of people. At declaring, people were healed. At declaring, people who had been captives of the devil found freedom and immediately were able to do what they couldn't do before. However, it all started with declaring their liberty and speaking it forth.

In verse 2, the Bible speaks further of the manifestation of the anointing on Jesus - "To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn."

Any anointed man like one walking in the footsteps of his Master - Jesus also has been given to declare, "The acceptable year of the Lord." According to NLT, that place is written as, "He has sent me to tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord's favour has come."

Now, what happens when someone sent of God declares a season which has come upon the world. Realistically, he'll be creating for them an entrance and access into that season. Things might have been difficult for them but it is only till then. They might not have been able to get married till then but it is only until that declaration. They might not have been able to conceive but it is only until then.

Once God's Word comes out or goes forth declaring the acceptable year of the Lord in any aspect, that thing immediately becomes possible for the people it is being declared to.

That word that has been declared will as a matter of fact open a new season for them and usher them into that same new season. Because it is therefore a new season, they can therefore begin to have new experiences that they've never had before. That new season and new experience is therefore brought about because God's mouth has said it.

Look at this place.

Acts 3:6-8, KJV

"6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God."

Something happened here when Peter made a proclamation - a lameman stood up and walked. Peter said, "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."

That was the declaration. Peter however held him to stir his faith and give him a push. Immediately [following that declaration], the Bible says, "And immediately, his feet and ankle bones received strength."

That's what happens when God proclaims a word. He goes about creating it. That word therefore brings about or creates a new season, new experience and contact for those needing it. Their situation might not have looked like it but once God gives a word, it at once turns their previous situations around into a newly created and predicted one of God.

This is why God needs mouths with which to proclaim "The acceptable year of the Lord" which NLT calls, "the time of the Lord's favour."

Until such declarations are released, you'll be shocked to still see nothing change for people. People can continue in struggle from generation to generation until this year of jubilee and God's favour is declared into effect.

Leviticus 25:10 (KJV)

"And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."

Until there's a proclamation setting people at liberty and opening prison doors to the bounds, people can't but continue in the region and under the shadow of darkness. Things will continue the way it is until the declaration of those who own it or needs it come. That's why nothing has changed of many people's situations till now. It's because they are in the hold of the devil and they need God's anointing to break them free. But even that is not forthcoming because God's Word is scarce and there are no prophets in the land. So, the devil continues to maruade them since there's no one found of God to proclaim their liberty, the acceptable year of the Lord or the day of God's vengeance on their enemies.

Jesus knows this which is why when He went around, He did one thing which fulfilled what the prophet had said.

Matthew 4:13-16, KJV

"13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;

4:16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up."

Look at what the Bible is proclaiming concerning Jesus. Jesus' relocation to that place means, "the people which sat in darkness are seeing light and those in the region and shadow of death light is sprung or has come."

There are seasons in the spirit and God's oracles are the ones meant to bring it about. They are God's mouthpieces to announce and make those seasons known to God's inheritance. Therefore, it is not all preachers who declare new seasons in a new month, week or as often as the Holy Spirit brings it to them that are incorrect. Many pseudo ministers might have bastardized this act of proclaiming what God will do but God often do give His words indeed in order to usher people into their new seasons by giving them leverage for manifestation through His own spoken words.

However, that's not all God said His ministers are anointed to do. Just like they are armed to declare "God's favoured time" on people, they are also equipped and could bring forth God's judgement upon nations and people. That's what KJV calls, "and the day of vengeance of our God..." NLT calls it, "and with it, the day of God's anger against their enemies."

This part is no lie. If you have unrepentant enemies, we know their end. It cannot be good because judgement will always visit them. That part also foreshadows the judgement that will come on those who fail to believe in Jesus at His second appearing which is why Jesus didn't mention it when He said in the NT that, "Today, this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

Luke 4:18, KJV

"18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears."

Observe that Jesus only ended His own quotation at, "To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." That is because that was what the Lord was doing on the earth then. He had not come to condemn anyone (John 3:17). Rather, He came to do good (Acts 10:38). He came to heal, cure, recover, restore and bless.

That was the season Jesus was in at His first coming into the world. He was sent to bring salvation and bring the good news to people.

However, that season would end one day. It will end effectively at His second appearance. That's when, "The day of vengeance of our God" would begin effectively on the unrepentant and the unbelieving.

So, even Jesus knew that these prophecies of Isaiah are seasonal. So, in the first phase, He proclaimed the acceptable year of the Lord while He Himself awaits "the day of vengeance of our God."

I see a new heaven and a new earth! I see a new season upon you. God speaking of Adam says, "It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helpmeet suitable for him" (Gen.2:18). In essence, God declared the closure of a season over Adam and the opening of another.

Revelation 21:1-2, KJV

"1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

Say, "the first heaven and the first earth have passed away in my life and there is no more sea."

Old reproaches are being rolled away. The Bible says, "...old things have passed away, behold all things have become new" (II Cor. 5:17).

A new man you are with new experiences! Have you not been able to find a marriageable person consequent upon the hindrances and workings of the devil against you? I see a new heaven over you!

All things are new for you! Your 'flesh' or whatsoever that might symbolize is being restored unto you as that of a new born baby now (II Kings 5:14, 10).

So shall it be! I declare your liberty, your acceptable year of the Lord and the day of the vengeance of our God (on your pursuing, unrepentant enemy). As for you, flourish and find establishment in this new season that has come.

DEDICATED TO ENQUIRY

Psalms 27:4, KJV

"One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple."

When the essence of life is discovered and its revelation becomes your life, then you won't have difficulty chasing after enquiries all the days of your life. Enquiry is a life long pursuit. That's why the Psalmist says, "one thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after..."

When he says, "that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life", he reinforces his saying on what he desires from the Lord. As we speak, there are scientists in the lab, maybe people in space, shuttles in the oceans and many endeavors ongoing to find out knowledge, fix one problem or find out a more appropriate way by which something could be done.

Just like I said yesterday, such people have grown beyond the pursuit of food or material gains. Rather, they have shifted to purpose and now put their focus on making their world a better place to live. They have found who they are - knowing their own life's purposes and now, they are giving themselves to it. Some are locked up for days in the lab, research centers just because they wanted to find out for their world cures to certain diseases or functions. These people have overcome the human covetousness of I want to be rich, famous and accumulate all the wealth there is. That may eventually happen to them as they serve and give their lives to discovery - bringing new cures and inventions. However, it is not their primary target.

Another thing that has aided them is external funding for research. Therefore, they've been able to concentrate on discovering a new layer of knowledge. This is another helpful way by which they are kept from not thinking of food and clothing let alone pursuing it unrelentlessly like others out there.

They may not be rich but they are not insecure, restless and full of frets like many. Therefore, they are able to "do only one thing, seeking after the same."

The word for enquiry that we began considering yesterday carries meanings such as "to inquire, to seek diligently, to investigate, to meditate upon, to consider carefully, to search out thoughtfully."

These are all the functions that people who are given to inquiry are given to. They are asking questions in order to know. That is probing. If you see what their thoughts and meditations are centred on, you'll be shocked it's on finding answers for humanity day and night.

The Bible says this.

James 3:7, KJV

"For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind."

This verse chronicles the achievement of a certain generation which over and over some other generations have worked on. Have you asked yourself how the earlier man tamed and domesticated wild horses, using it for transport, races and war? Dolphins are creatures of the sea yet man has made an incredible thing out of them. From acrobats to performances that surprise and tickle the fancy of men, these fishes have been tamed and trained to surreal viewers.

Someone or some people made those discoveries. They did the taming so that all of us could benefit and enjoy what comes from having tamed their natural raw power or abilities. This is how our world becomes a better place to live when discoveries and researches are done. Enquiries haven't stopped. Rather, it continues.

PRAYER: Open thou my lips and I will ask questions. Quicken my heart to enquiry.

AND TO ENQUIRE IN HIS TEMPLE

Psalms 27:4, KJV

"One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple."

I asked a question yesterday, "If man had all his needs met (put yourself in the cockpit of that question), what would be his next pursuit?"

Many of us are only existing, we've not been living. We would not know this until we answered that question. The Bible says, "And having food and raiment let us be therewith content." What if you have assurance of money, food and whatsoever you could think of very enough, what other races would your pursuits be all about?

The difference between advanced nations and the developing ones is that one has discovered the purpose of life and is living it while the other is still grappling with meeting of their basic needs. Nobody is rejecting food, shelter, clothing or security. They are all fundamental human needs. However, if you're only occupied with them and absorbed by them, I tell you, you will never have time or time enough at hand to explore your world, ask questions on life, God, justice, beauty and answer them for your world to see.

When God created man, He created him to be an enquirer. I believe you know that God would often come to commune with man in the cool of the day. Man fulfills that verse we're considering through fellowship. The Bible says, "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple."

That place says, "...that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life..." This happened to Adam. He stayed before the Lord's presence. He enjoyed God's beauty. He inquired, explored in God and found answers.

Let's talk. When the Psalmist says, "...to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple", what do you think it means? Pay attention to the word, "enquire." Do you know what it means? It is the Hebrew word, "baqar."

It carries meanings such as to inquire, to seek diligently, to investigate, to meditate upon, to consider carefully, to search out thoughtfully."

I'll like to pick the last interpretation we have there - "to search out thoughtfully." Searching out thoughtfully is not only what a meditative heart does in/before God. Without a heart to search out, man wouldn't have advanced in every endeavour. Think of everything that has made life easier for you, from domestic tools to industrial gadgets and machineries. They are products of the "enquiries" of some people. Think of invention and human travels to other planets like man's ongoing plan to colonise Mars, it was possible because man is an inquirer. The Sciences, Art and every endeavour you know has prospered because men enquired, pushing the boundaries of knowledge and discovering new things. These are the things that led to medical or technological breakthroughs. All because people enquired. Enquirers are thinkers, deep meditators and researchers. It is the products of their quiet concentration in the lab, in space, in the academia that leads to the published bodies of knowledge that we now enjoy or have in books. Think of a movie that you contemplate on as you watched or a novel or poem that is written to elicit human behavior and realities. All those are products of people's enquiries. They were found because they were sought. God didn't create man to stay at the level of food only. Speaking, the Bible says, "Is life not more than bread and the body than clothing? - Luke 12:23. If the Psalmist got to a place where his aspiration, his utmost pursuit became dwelling in the house of the Lord all the days of his life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to enquire in His temple, then we're been challenged on why we would only settle at the basic human needs levels?

I made a statement earlier that a developing nation is in trouble. When a nation by bad government, civil war or terrorism is reduced to a broken one that has no ample time to search out knowledge or the world around her, they are kept stuck from developing! They will never fulfill their true potential. There will be yearnings inside of them but since they haven't put food on the table first of all, they cannot practically go in that direction. Developed nations make searches! Undeveloped ones even if it's not by their design only busy with what to eat and drink. So, they never left that threshold.

Brethren, do you want to become great, tangible beyond this world, leaving a legacy behind? Then, define for yourself what success is. It is not the accumulation of money or making millions. It is not until you have all your needs met or have every latest thing that makes life comfortable. Real success is at the level of enquiry where you contribute to your world as a producer and not an ordinary consumer. Would you from this day begin to contemplate and search out? Or you'll leave the task of finding out, inventing and creating to certain people only?

PRAYER: Lord, open my mind to see that Science, Art, Culture and every human endeavors are meant to be enquired into.

DELIVERANCE FROM SIX-SEVEN TROUBLES

Job 5:19, KJV

"He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee."

We thank God for His deliverance. It is this work that He does and has done for us that has kept us alive.

If not for God's deliverance (or salvation), how should we have continued till now? The Bible says, "With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation" (Psalms 91:16, KJV).

The salvation mentioned here translates "deliverance." We have therefore continued till now and have hope of long Life because God will not stop showing us His salvation.

Our body can become sick unto death but if it is recovered and we're restored, that would be being delivered from trouble. This way, one can't but have long life irrespective of what he enters into or faces.

Our verse of the day in Job says, "He shall deliver you from six troubles and in seven, there shall no evil touch you."

That place is assuring you of salvation quietly but assuredly. When counting it, troubles can come. They can occur in their varieties or phases. "Seven" as used there talks of completion - describing to perfection the generality of evils that can befall any man. Yet it says, "There shall no evil touch you."

The reason is simple. It is because of God's work or better still His deliverance. God often does step in to redeem us from trouble.

When the Bible says, "On their hands they'll bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone" (Psalm 91:12); it talks of divine stepping in. It talks of God's emissaries sent of Him to do the work of aiding you - bearing you up lest you fall. It means without their stepping in, redeeming you or bringing you immediate aid, you might find yourself at the rock bottom of the pit, fallen and scattered.

They had to "bear you up" because you were coming down previously. If by urgency, they do not attend to you, God forbid, may we not have a testimony of your soul being left in hades.

Therefore I pray that in six or seven troubles, God will save you. In marital crisis, court cases, economic trouble etc, God will bring you out. Even in betrayal, famine, war, drought, pestilence, you shall be borne up. You won't touch the ground!

PRAYER: I will not touch the earth (ground). I am borne up.
