MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
GIVE HEED PLEASE - Witness Series 001
Read Luke 11:14-31
Luke 11:31, KJV
"The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here".
May God give you eyes that see, ears that hear, and a heart that knows. What a blessing you'll forever draw if you all these possess. Men and women are travelling. Travelling to do what? To establish contact, to establish their faith. Nowadays, if one can't be on-site for a meeting, one may join online and would still be a beneficiary of such that would be received at the physical place of meeting. Today, God wants you to give heed. Wherever God has put grace, anointing or any gift; by Himself, He'll begin to work on the hearts of people to draw it towards that anointing carried by that man or woman. In Jesus' days, though a great number of people were drawn to His immeasurable anointing yet His anointing was not totally accepted and believed in. From this passage, we see how doubters said He casted out demons by Beelzebub and how others requested for a sign before they'll seek to vindicate Him. This simply tells us that there's no anointing that won't have its admirers and its slanderers. Meanwhile, God wants you to be like the Sheba Queen who heard and was moved. Jesus in trying to show the failure of these doubters and faithless generation to them said, "the queen of the South came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, yet greater than Solomon is here but whom you're still doubting, rejecting and detesting. Judgement awaits you!"
The Queen of Sheba sacrificed a lot to reach Jerusalem to hear Solomon speak. She travelled from the far South. If the Bible calls a thing, "the ends of the earth", it means farthest of the farthest. Yet, she established contact though she spent months if not a year or more on her journey. "If someone who's not of that nation could give much to touch the anointed man of her day, what happens to you all that you couldn't immediately drop your doubt to give attention to me (Jesus) who's greater than Solomon even in his wisdom". Jesus was showing them their failure. Do you know there are people like these around us? You may even be one. They respect far away ministers of God as genuine and powerful but esteem less those God has clothed also with the Holy Ghost but who are cited near them. I have an example. Do you know there are Africans dwelling in Africa who find it difficult receiving a fellow Black minister as indeed a minister. They're rather peeping out to America and those in Europe. You'll see them boast of their fathers abroad. Those at home are zero even when God wants them see and be moved towards them. Jesus was with this people yet they had the problem of overfamiliarity with Him. Solomon was far away from the Sheba Queen and yet she established contact to see Him and tap into what she has heard of him. Those of you taking with levity a fellow by your side whom God could use for you but esteeming the other one far away as the only one that could minister to you may be getting it wrong. Even if your dad is anointed and you have no faith to receive, you may not still receive.
God wants you to have eyes for the carcass wherever He places it. The aroma will go forth. It doesn't matter the proximity or the distance. Be moved when you see the anointed. Open up to them. All you'll ever become is being sensitive to God's move which can come through His anointed men. By their words, seasons are caused to change for you. By the Spirit upon, they can chance a door to open for you, pluck or plant for your sake. You in this generation (one reading this) must not fall victim of familiarity and receive a curse on yourself. Have eyes that see and with open heart receive those men that God's Spirit will witness to your spirit they're His.
PRAYER: Lord, give me new sight to see Yourself in men, especially anointed men as I enter 2022.
