MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
WHOSE TESTIMONY IS THIS?
Mark 4:37-39
Isaiah 40:2, KJV
"Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins."
When you warfare is accomplished, struggle comes to a halt. It is good to know peace. No matter how great a warrior you are, you have tendency getting wearied if you continue warfare without rest. You'll become drained, spent and then you can become a victim to your opponent. A perfect example of someone whose warfare spanned for long was David. Saul pursued him, family rivalry from his own issue pursued him. Yet, he had to fight many wars also. His hands were just so full of blood. Solomon however knew peace all around himself.
I Kings 5:3-4,KJV
"3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet. 4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent."
May you know peace. You, know peace. Be better than your predecessors in experience.
When someone's warfare is accomplished, it actually means that his war or what's like unto war in his life is settled, brought to an end or concluded.
In the reading of today, Jesus and his disciples were in the ship. He was asleep. A storm arose and the disciples were at a peril. The storm that arose was a raging storm. The kind that drifts the ship here and there and one that can easily fill the ship with water. To sink won't take time because water was entering the ship already. All they knew as fishermen to stabilize the ship didn't do. The struggle on the sea was a warfare against the raging storm. It was then they cried unto Jesus with a voice, "don't you care that we perish?" That is, they could have perished if nobody came to their help. However, Jesus did, rebuked the storm and it stopped. So, their warfare in trying to stabilize the ship on the sea came to an end. The anxiety and fear ended. Instead of raging of the sea, they now know peace.
Look, may your warfare be accomplished. When it is, you'll have a taste of another season. You'll be transplanted from one experience where all you have tasted is unrest to another where there's tranquility. Do you think it's a blessing praying, praying, praying to have a breakthrough in an area without it coming on time. It is even worrisome if there are spirits or humans the devil is working through to hinder such.
I pray, your warfare will be accomplished. At this hour, you'll no longer reminisce about former things because new things the Lord is doing and He announces them before it springs forth. It shall be double for your trouble, sin and joy you shall know throughout.
PRAYER: Lord, let my warfare be accomplished. (Mention the area). I receive double for my trouble and delight of days for the years I've been troubled.
