MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
LORD, I WANT TO HAVE THIS TESTIMONY
Genesis 22:14, KJV
"And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, IN THE MOUNT OF THE LORD IT SHALL BE SEEN."
What testimony? God requested of Abraham, Isaac (his only son) who ought to remain a consolation to him. Abraham obeyed God and off to Moriah he went.
Where we agree obedience at heart precedes our action is where God agreed Abraham had slain Isaac already though was about acting it out. You might have obeyed God on a thing but because people haven't seen your body act it, they may call you disobedient or a rebel. God won't mistake you for another. God sees obedience in the heart even before its physical and open manifestation. Men however don't until their naked eyes can bear them witness.
Abraham was about killing Isaac when a voice stopped him from above. God sees he has released what he cherished most and has not preferred Isaac over Him. God has given Abraham a clear instruction that he can't pretend he didn't hear because it was a painful one. For some Christians, when God communicates easy things, they hear but when they hear hard instructions, they pretend it was not God they heard. They'll rather want to hear and hear until the idol in their heart is given them as instruction or direction. Such people will fall into trouble at day's end.
What did the voice from above say as Abraham picks the knife?
Genesis 22:12-13, KJV
"12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son."
God testified Abraham fears him because he has not withheld Isaac from Him. Pay attention to God's emphasis on "thy only son." Giving is easier when one does from his abundance. A possessor of one thing will want to retain it. But Abraham still sacrificed his only begotten Isaac. That's hard. It was after this something significant happened as if it was not a reality. God gave Abraham a ram. A ram from nowhere. At a very tight corner when we thought all hope was lost for Abraham and that Isaac was forever gone, Isaac made a come back. He reentered the ring! We had thought, Isaac is dead but a kind of substitution happened. An image of Christ substituting us in His death. The testimony is "on the mount of the Lord, there shall be provision." If where Abraham didn't think of, a miracle bursts forth from there, where you never think of or had only thought less of, miracle will come from there. At a time when your hands are shivering and you're asking, "is the show ending now and forever indeed", you'll receive a return into performance. You'll continue. You'll persist.
To you who is in dire need of provision, miracle or an expectation, you'll see your answer show up. Wherever your ram is, let it appear. A spouse can be a ram. You've been expecting a show up of him/her for long yet without appearance. I'm hearing, "on God's mount, it shall be seen." What you're seeking shall be found.
That ram just appeared. Abraham didn't call for it but divine provision made it available. Your provision also, ready made will appear in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: Is a spouse, money, promotion, healing etc your own ram? Ask and it shall appear. Lord, let me always make a comeback.
