THE WAITING THAT WINS THE RACE!

THE WAITING THAT WINS THE RACE!

Isaiah 40:31 is contradictory if you don't know. Let's examine it to see. 

Isaiah 40:31, KJV

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

It says, "they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint."

That ought not to be. 

Energy ought to decrease as it is burnt or used as fuel. 

However, this one assures another thing entirely because of a critical factor that has come in to fill in the gap. It says, "you will run and not be weary; you shall walk and not faint!"

The longer we run, the vulnerable we are to the risk of exhaustion. The longer we walk, the more vulnerable we are to the risk of fainting or collapsing.

But there's a break that prevents that from happening to us.

What's it?

It's what the Bible calls, "waiting on the Lord." A waiting in hope for something to be addressed in your life or done to you. 

This "waiting on the Lord" leads to the renewal of strength and increase in output and maximum efficiency.

Are you familiar with car racing? In car racing, there's usually a routine stop when racing cars stop for a break. It is that exercise that makes them run on continuously and not break down. If they had gone on that long intense journey without a break, they would have become exhausted, clogged and broken down. 

Exhaustion would have taken them out.  

In motorsport such as Formula 1, NASCAR, or endurance races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a pit stop is a brief, highly coordinated stop during the race where the team services the car.

Typical pit stop activities include changing worn tyres, refuelling (in racing series where it's allowed), repairing damages, adjusting the front wing or suspension, cleaning air intakes or removing debris, making strategic changes based on race conditions.

In Formula 1, tyre changes alone can take or go under 2 seconds. Thanks to a well-trained pit crew.

Why is it so important?

A car cannot keep racing at maximum speed indefinitely. As tyres wear out, they lose grip, become slower, and increase the risk of an accident. 

Spending two or three seconds in the pits can save tens of seconds or even minutes over the rest of the race.

The principle is a short pause for maintenance which leads to stronger, faster and safer performance afterward.

This is a powerful life analogy. The pit stop is an excellent picture of life and ministry. Sometimes, stopping briefly to rest, pray, study God's Word, receive counsel, evaluate your direction, and renew your strength is not a sign of weakness. It's what enables you to finish the race well.

This is why Isaiah 40:31 has much to do with it.

"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength... they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Just as a race car that never enters the pit will eventually lose performance or fail to finish, people who never take time for spiritual and physical renewal often burn out.

That's why a pit stop isn't quitting the race; it's part of winning it.

This is Wisdom for Living and Wisdom for Winning... and that without Devastations!

Go for renewal champ and walk in the footsteps of your Master and Lord - Jesus Christ!

Matthew 4:11, KJV

"Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him."

Mark 1:13, KJV

"And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him."

Luke 22:43, KJV

"And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him."

May you not be left to yourself. May you receive strengthening. May ministration not be withdrawn from you. May you not be alone. May you know filing and sharpness for the newly appeared time and seasons you're in. 

May your virtues be replenished and your threshing instrument be sharpened. 

Happy New Month!!!

ORDERED SPEECH

Acts 4:8, KJV

"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel..."

The Bible often speaks in the manner we have above for a particular reason. It's to paint the picture of a surrendered life - a life that is being guided or led. A life that is not given to his own things but that which the Lord wants it to do or say. 

Guidance or leading also has to do with what we say and with how we respond to people. As a matter of fact, when you're filled with the Holy Ghost, you have the greatest chances of responding in the most befitting manner because the Spirit will give you fitting words and lead you in manners acceptable. As for Peter, he was led to testify of Jesus again. So, when the Bible says, "then, Peter filled with the Holy Ghost said...", that place was trying to tell us that Peter's speech was Holy Ghost inspired and not outside Him. 

How do you love that? You see, there are things you don't have to consciously take thought for. You only need to do one thing. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. 

Colossians 3:16, KJV 

"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." 

God's Word dwelling in you richly to overflowing is a thread to bring filled with the Holy Spirit. The manifestation of the Word is the Spirit. Be filled with the Holy Ghost. When you are given to God, God will be given to you. A man that has the Word saturates him is a man who will live in obedience to it. That's the type of man that the spirit can bend anyway he likes. God knows he'll be yielding. It is the way God wants a particular thing to be done that it'll be done. Why? He is filled with the Holy Ghost and being filled with the Holy Ghost, it'll be easier manifesting the Holy Ghost and its leadings. 

What you must know is that how saturated or filled with God will determine your yieldedness. You cannot compare someone who's not filled with the Holy Ghost at all with one that's filled half way and then with one that's totally filled. Their obedience level and manifestation would be different. 

That same testimony is written of Stephen. 

Acts 7:55, KJV

"But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God..."

Imagine what Stephen was seeing in the midst of being set amidst the elders to explain himself. In the midst of that jangling and hard heartedness, he was seeing God's vision because he was full of the Spirit. A spiritual man always has a spiritual response for each occurrence. While they were acting as below and earthly, he was acting as heavenly and above. His gazes were turned to heaven. This proves that he is of above - from God and to Him, he returns. 

Nothing beats being full of the Holy Ghost. That is when we can be assured that your acts and leadings are correct. That is when we can praise them for being befitting and fitting their times. That's when we can be sure that your decisions, responses and acts are from Him and they'll be justified even if contended with for the meanwhile - producing their fruits. 

PRAYER: Lord, help me with the discipline to stay with Your Word that in turn can lead to the manifestation of the Spirit. I speak to myself - I am filled with the Spirit and I am led by Him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 13:1–14:29, Acts 18:23–19:12, Psalm 146:1–10, Proverbs 18:2–3

WHY YOU FEEL LOST AMIDST THE POPULACE?

WHY YOU FEEL LOST AMIDST THE POPULACE?

Why don't I feel lost amidst the crowd?

It's because I know leading is personal. 

You'll feel lost if you have doubts on where you should be or what you should be doing but which you're not doing.

To feel lost means to lack a sense of direction, not to be seen, felt or acknowledged. 

There's something in all of us that wants to fulfill purpose and be validated for that even if it'll be by our conscience which will say, "well done, you're doing well."

When lost however , you're seriously confused and confounded as to which way to take. It may also be a lack of gratification in the life currently being lived. 

If you don't want to feel lost, you must get it right and get better.

You must be convinced you're in the will of God and the will of God is not a mystery because the Bible says, "for as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:14).

You must be sure you're in the right country, on the right job, with the right spouse, in the right city/neighborhood, ministry, local church and pursuing the right path.

This is the sole cure to unhealthy competition and rivalry with friends and enemies alike (for those who have). 

This is how you will not hate those who are progressing according to God's standards or according to your own false projections and vain belief. 

This will give you assurance that you have done everything that God commanded or wanted and consequently your life is in His hands. 

Therefore, you'll have confidence that you're always safe and secured in the hands of the God that knows best.

Some are abroad and are afraid. It may be because they are out of their proper and instituted locations. At such times, even if you have shelter on your head, you'll feel insecure. 

The world is so large and too crowded to be unsure as to what the Lord wants you to do and where He wants you to be.

If you believe or are secretly persuaded that you're just managing somewhere and that's not where you should really be, there's a big tendency that you may not give your best there.

You'll continue to console yourself with, "just let me do this for the meanwhile."Therefore, you cannot pay attention to details, learn critical lessons or be grateful to God of all the earth who had given it to you or set you there. Rather, you'll be a complainer and a murmuring fellow. 

Do you feel lost?

Do you feel you're being starved to death by this overwhelming world?

Do you feel others are progressing but you are behind?

Do you feel left behind?

Do you feel unseen and worthless?

Inspect your journey and choices.

Are you doing what God would have you do?

Or those you saw someone do that you copied?

When it's your society or social media that sets what to do for you, you can't but be eventually be out of place. 

And whenever there's a dislocation, it is always followed by a pain as well. When a bone dislocates in the body, the fellow never enjoys himself until the bone aligns back to position.

Many people are like dislocated bones and joints, not only causing pain to themselves or their families which they have carried along like Elimelech but even the host of heaven that's regretting over them. 

When Paul was confronted and had nowhere to turn, he asked, "what will you have me do?"

It's high time you asked. 

God measures to us differently. That's why God could tell someone like Isaac to stay and sow in the land when he wanted to travel abroad. 

It means there's a God of specific location for our individuals. 

The Bible says something interesting about our geography and placement.

Acts 17:26, KJV

"And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation."

Check that verse out.

Do you know what it means? If God has determined our bounds of habitation before hand, it means when you leave one location for the other, it should be to a location that God had before hand designated you'll also leave to or one day live in.

Why? 

Because God will be waiting to number you or enroll you among the people that that land will be given to. 

Many people however are disrupted and disruptive in the will of God. They are out of place like a musical note that disrupts the tune. 

God keeps numbers. He's like a census coordinator. When people leave one place to the other, He accounts for them that they have left XYZ country to ABC country. 

That's why that is not a casual thing to do. 

If you have gained all the world and you're still restless or feeling lost, it may be a great indication that you're either out of line or out of place. 

It may also be that it's time to move on but your spirit is still scanning and trying to detect and fixate on what next.

In all, ask your questions and find your answers. Then, progress in God's will.

THOSE GOD WILL ARISE ON

THOSE GOD WILL ARISE ON!

In a country of over 240 Million people and a world of over 8.3 Billion people, you cannot put a discount on being led. 

Never!

You must live the inspired life. 

A life that is authored by the Lord through daily and often nudgings, motivations and special interests that'll be caused and placed on your heart to do.

If you live this life long enough, it'll look so normal to you that it'll seem you're the one choosing your path yourself. Meanwhile, it's the Lord. However, it'll look that way because you've internalized God's leading. 

Darkness shall cover the earth and thick darkness the people Isaiah says. Meanwhile, Isaiah shows a wonder in the people that God will arise on. 

"...but the Lord shall arise upon thee and his glory shall be seen on thee" (Isa. 60:2).

Who are these people but those that are guided, led and impressed upon on the ways or paths they should take. 

Those are the people God will arise on. 

The Bible says, "man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matt.4:4). 

That word is the instruction or the motivation or urges that the Spirit will place on your heart to do per time.

It may include who to call or visit.

Where to go to make an enquiry to buy something cheap.

The house to go and inspect for vacancy or occupancy.

The creche or school your child should go. 

Where to invest your money.

What to say or do per term.

This covers every area of our life and it's very practical - leading to a prosperous life. One that's above failure, repeated mistakes and consequently a waste of time. 

In the midst of thick darkness, you dare not navigate by yourself. You need light and direction. 

You need God to hold you by the hand and lead you all through - even to the other side of the seas.

THIS IS THAT WHICH WAS SPOKEN BY THE PROPHET JOEL

Acts 2:16, KJV

"But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel."

When God raises you as a leader of His people - a set man especially, a dimension of your calling or anointing will be able to do what Peter did here. I believe it is not everybody that is called or would be raised to be an interpreter of events in the body of Christ. And what you're not called to do that you attempt may be wrongly done. 

The Holy Spirit had been poured out and all its receivers now speak in tongues. It's such an amazing sight even to those watching. They'd never seen a thing like that before because they heard people speaking in their different languages yet the question remains, "are not all these Galileans?"

If they are Galileans, how's it that we hear them in our own indigenous languages wherein we are born? That was their question, doubt and confusion. 

While some people seek answers genuinely, the Bible says, "others mocking say these people are filled with new wine." Confusion is beginning to pervade the air. People are beginning to misinterpret what they couldn't understand. A great move of God that was promised has come but nobody could decipher it for what it is. While some say, "what meaneth this?" Others are saying, "those men are just drunk." That's what the devil wanted to achieve. He wanted to confuse the people from deciphering the new window and era the church has entered into. 

In the midst of all these, God raised a witness for Himself. Peter rose up!

Acts 2:14-16, KJV

"14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.  

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel..."

Peter had to correct them and helped them put things in proper perspective. I believe God must raise interpreters of the seasons that we have entered into for us. Else it is mislabeled and we are misled. People could have believed that those men were drunk when it was only the third hour. Is this not how a lot of people who know nothing about Christianity or God's move pick up their pens or go on social media to run their commentaries or share their perspectives about what is going on when it is out of revelation, hindsight, prophecy and what God has set to do. 

Today, you'll no longer be confused. This spirit is coming and resting on you. You'll be a correct discerner in the midst of confusion. You'll tell people what the Lord is really doing. You'll be able to say like Peter, "but this is that which is spoken by the prophet Joel." You'll have pin point accuracy. Never shall you miss. So shall it be!

PRAYER: Lord, I am salvaged from error or confusion. I discern your move and have pin point accuracy.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO 

LORD, HOW LONG?

Psalms 90:13, KJV

"Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants."

You don't say the Lord should return if He hasn't left you to yourself in the first place. That's the prayer of Moses over Israel. It is that the Lord will return and renew His works of old amidst them. Subsequent verses after that reveal the specific prayer points of Moses. 

God must of a surety return to us. Moses not only prayed but he also lamented how long it had been since they last experienced God. Don't forget that their generation in question is a stiff necked one that rejected God. Of course, they suffered for it. It is these sufferings that they wanted revoked. Now, Moses is saying, "O satisfy us early with your mercy...make us glad according to the days that you have troubled us..."

Is anybody there who's thirsty for the Lord and His return like Moses and the Israelites did? Have you missed intimacy with Him due to your negligence and apostasy? Is there anyone here saying, "O Lord, how long shall it take you to return?" Is that your heart cry and lamentation? Are you thirsty for life with Him? Have you suffered enough without life with Him? 

Unless you have tasted the Lord, you experience no feelings of loss when He's no more with you. Moses knew the goodies of the Lord. He'd tasted Him afore hand with the children of Israel. However, that same Lord is nowhere to be found in their lives as they continually sinned and pushed Him off. Should such a man not raise a prayer altar? Should he not desire an immediate return of God, lamenting His delays when He doesn't appear with His works of old. 

To dry off from the roots takes no time. All that needs to happen is for you is neglecting/rejecting God. The Bible says, "and without me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). Is it not in Him we live, move and have our being?

For short, we're consisted together in Him and when He's no longer there because of our rejection of Him, everything falls apart. 

This morning, draw near to God and He'll draw near to you. 

PRAYER: Lord, I draw nearer. Draw me near.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 4:18–5:27, Acts 15:1–35, Psalm 141:1–10, Proverbs 17:23

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO 

REVIVE THY WORK IN OUR MIDST

Habakkuk 3:2, KJV

"O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy."

This has to be our prayer. If we refuse to make this our plea, we shall remain dry and all the same. We can no longer dilly dally but to raise a cry that the Lord will revive His work in our midst. 

Without a revival, renewing and stirring, there cannot be any turn around. Rather, the same testimony shall persist, and what is that?

John 5:3, KJV

"In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water."

We still don't want to be one of those who'll "lay" inactive but redundant in hope that never comes. Rather, we want the Lord to break forth on us like a flood and sweeping water. 

Unless the Lord's visitation comes upon us, it'll be business as usual. Men will just lay without understanding of the scriptures, comfortable in their sins and complacent in reaching for God. At best, we'll be invalids - impotent folk of blind, halt, withered waiting for the moving of the water. However, it is not enough to wait without seeing Him come. 

May this moving of the water come. May God's stirring comes because that's the beginning of a new experience entirely. Did you observe that unless the water is stirred, there's no major activity round that pool of Bethesda. Everybody till then lay still. That tells you of something. Except God revives His work amidst us, people will still sit like before. They will therefore show no commitment to personal intimacy. However, the Bible says, "for an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."

You just read of "stepping into the water." That talks of an activity. What brings an activity amidst any congregation of people is the appearance of God. At that time, people begin to receive strength. Upon contact with the armed or energized water, the Bible testifies that the first man is healed of whatever diseases he had. Does that not tell how the Lord shall heal us at His arrival?

Without the Lord reviving His works of old amidst us, we cannot know any personal joy. The joy of salvation would be dull and dead in us. People will have no unction or inspiration to rejoice in God's things. However, once there's a stirring or a revival, we shall once more do all the great works of old. 

We therefore pray for a revival of God's work in our midst. Your understanding shall be opened, salvation shall take place. Healing shall not elude you. Gifts shall be distributed and impartations touch you.

PRAYER: Lord, revive your work in me. Stir me up. Heal me. Arm me with energy. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 3:1–4:17, Acts 14:8–28, Psalm 140:1–13, Proverbs 17:22
