MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
THE GATHERING THAT'S IN VAIN - Eternal Chase Series 002
READ Acts 23:11-24
Acts 23:12, KJV
"And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul".
The gathering of a billion plotters shouldn't scare you since there's assurance that their gathering won't lead to implementation.
If there's one apostle whose life was terribly contested for in the Bible, it is Paul. They sought him to eliminate many times. This is one of such times. Some forty men gathered together and took a resolute decision of killing Paul. They were so much purposeful that they bound themselves with a curse that they wouldn't eat or drink until they've killed him. Brethren, if you get where Satan and men begin to pursue you this way, just know you have become a serious threat that must sure be taken out. Why should some people be so much concerned as to destroy another man's life? Why should they all leave their daily businesses and ventures to pick up a new cause? These are men who have something doing but who had to let go in order to finish off a fellow. There's no extent Satan can't go to bring a threat down. He'll sacrifice anything as well. For some men to have sacrificed the pleasure of eating and drinking until the mission is accomplished shows how focus and intense the matter was.
However, God who rules as the Governor amidst the nations won't allow. He has afore assured Paul of bearing witness for Him in Rome earlier. So, his life is anchored on continuity. To fulfill this, Paul's sister's son reported to Paul and the chief captain what the masses were cooking. This is how a transfer of Paul to Felix became inevitable. God is faithful. He'll always allow a loop hole or leak in what the enemy calls plan. That's what would become your own advantage. Paul's sister's son heard their plans which he reported. Nobody knew him to be in relation with Paul but that's how God exposes the devices of the crafty so that their hands can't achieve their craftiness. On this note, Paul's end was postponed. He escapes death once more. You'll always escape the hardest of plots too. Let it be stringently woven and crafted together, you'll survive assassins and assassination. A wisdom would put you ahead that they won't see coming. They'll seek you and not find you available for death to be killed. Escape is yours and salvation from Jehovah.
PRAYER: Thank You for your daily salvation to me. Give me salvation from my strongest enemy.
