JEPHTHAH HARMED HIMSELF IN VOWING - Vow Series 003

Read Judges 11

Judges 11:31, KJV

"Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering."

One major person I sympathised with who became a victim of his vow is Jephthah. This is where this Bible verse finds fulfilment on him.

Psalms 15:1,4 KJV

"1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 4 ...He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not."

Jephthah has been fetched by the elders of Gilead to lead them to war and fight against the Ammonite on their behalf. For Jephthah to have sworn, that task was not easy in his sight. What you must know is that no one vows under ease. Vowing is done when pressurized, in fear, great need or uncertainty. That's why all these great emotions that pervade the air at the time of seeking help or deliverance may blindfold one's reason. Many people are not different from he who went to borrow money and was asked how much he'll be able to pay back monthly but mentioned an exaggerated amount in order to look serious and impressing to the lender. Many of them don't keep their word. You'll see them lagging behind and by that they'll destroy their reputation with their creditor. There's this idea in human mind that does believe in the using of vow to stir up God. It is a challenge anyway both to human and to God. If He was unavailable before he'll think, at my vowing, He comes to fight my battle now. However, vowing is not to be considered as a tool for bribery.

Jephthah however didn't specify his obligation to God more specifically. He said at his victory, he'll sacrifice to God whatsoever comes out of the door of his house to meet him. Yet, humans live in that same house with him! What was he thinking? Did his householders went on vacation before? Was his daughter in boarding school and was not expecting her at home? Or was Jephthah domesticating some animals? You could go on and on proposing this and that as to why Jephthah would make a vow that was open ended. That vow had no full stop behind it. It was like a fill in the gap vow. It's not different from an open cheque yet. Why? He didn't specify what he would sacrifice. He said, "whatsoever!" That's where event that God permits came in to make a choice of her daughter.

At conquest, Jephthah arrived in fulfilment having defeated the Ammonites but alas, look at who came out of his house to meet him rejoicing. The daughter was happy that her father had just won the victory. That's typical of females to do even when it is their husband who has just hit it big. However, Jephthah couldn't believe his eyes. He lamented it but quieted himself like a man to do like he has said. The most shocking is that that's his only child. Just his only child. When you make your vow, under no condition should you leave it open ended. I told you, you have been given the right to fix for both yourself your desire and your obligation to Him. Choose it specifically, wisely and lift it to God. Let Him see it ahead of time. You'll observe that despite the unfortunate situation Jephthah fell into, God didn't appear to Him from heaven in sympathy that the vow's terms should be reviewed. There's no reviewing in vow. Once you peg it down, you're on your own. God didn't force the terms on you, you choose and He will judge you by your own mouth. So, bridle your mouth. Jephthah knowing this told the daughter, I can't but do unto you as I have vowed. The daughter knowing what weight vow carries and knowing that God has kept His part of the terms to her father also agreed to it until she was indeed offered up to God. Watch your mouth. I'm telling you. Don't let your reason be clouded. After man might have received what he longs for, the scales do fall off his eyes to see his errors. See your fault and error before you vow. Don't trap yourself. Exercise caution.

PRAYER: I receive a heart of wisdom in vowing. I shall exercise faithfulness in deed on all my confessions.

DON'T HURT YOURSELF IN VOWING - Vow Series 002

I Samuel 1:10-11, KJV

"10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. 11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou...wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."

In all your vowing; please, don't hurt yourself. I said a thing yesterday in Series 001 on the mercy of vowing. It is with God but He has given it to the children of men. God has already being tender to all human kind in that we set the terms both for He and ourselves. Since people have been coming to God, He has not before specified to them what their obligation would be towards Him on vowing. The reason might not be far fetched. He wants them to be able to bear the burden they'll measure unto themselves. However, as far as we all know and we'll agree with, many men amidst men have not lived up to this in spite of God's mercy that allows them set the terms. Why should you hurt yourself? Is there anyone here who a billionaire you know so would give an open cheque to for a sum you yourself prefers who won't seek to please himself even if he'll show mercy in his request to that freewill giver? If you'll in that wise decide to your favour, you should in vowing be reasonable and not allow your importunity dictate to you. Does the scripture not says, if prophecy, prophesy according to the proportion of your faith (Rom.12:6, KJV)." If there's a thing like that which seeks to regulate by what faith, boldness, assurance and veracity (big or small) people prophesy, I'm thinking you should vow in proportion to what you could conveniently pay. Introspect before you vow and set your obligation in accordance to what won't break you or later get deferred.

God is not saying, "impress me by vowing." He already stated clearly that you don't need to vow especially if you won't fulfill it. Vowing is not the primary way given us to make our requests known to God. It is in praying and exercising faith! Praying by holding God's promises and prophecies to Him is enough as that our Father who's in heaven even honours his Word above His name (Matthew 6:5-13, Psalm 138:2). So, watch it! Whenever you're to make a vow, let the terms favour you. Don't think God would be displeased if you choose the most insignificant thing to do like "joining the social workers to clean the church only or doing the least of the least." Also, let me advise you if you're proud or egoistic, don't set as your obligation to God the doing of a humiliating or flesh crucifying thing. It's not because I want you to remain proud. It's so that you won't defer paying it since Satan might begin to ask you to reconsider and you might think, "a whole I rolling on the floor and what would my fans think." Simply put, each should choose obligation to God in the area of their strength where their faithfulness is easily given. So, it is not how big or small your obligation to God is that moves or dissuades Him from answering. If that be, collecting things from God through vowing would have been the easiest thoroughfare which everybody would be threading to have their demands. One would tell God, "if you could give me 100,000,000 this month, I'll pay 20% to church." Even despite how profitable this request and deal is to any mind reading it, you'll agree some men with cunning, crooked, and unfaithful life would still want to review the deal later wondering what God would do with that whole half. Even when God does not allow any condition arise as need or unforseen contingency i.e medical crisis that may claim their own fifty million off, they'll still say, "God's too much." I ask, did you not halve the money to God? But let me tell you, if you suddenly discover at that time that an operation for you or a beloved would cost 50 million exactly to execute, go ahead and not cultivate thought of making any of the vowed 20% of God yours. It can't but be the test of Abraham whom God gave a child and demanded same from him. He was faithful and God gave him a ram instead of his son. You'll be shocked to find the disease suddenly disappear at the final checkup for the surgery if you've proved your faithfulness by sending God's half to church yet in the face of that crisis. God would regard you as very faithful and you won't have to pay bills for operation again since God has become your salvation now.

People, set terms in proportion to what you could pay and not what you're asking. Hannah did herself that favour. How did I know that to a good extent? "But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever (I Samuel 1:22, KJV).

Did you see determination there that she really meant to keep that vow? She missed Shiloh until the boy would be ready to be packaged as a give away to God. Her heart of wanting to give Samuel away is indeed revealed in her confession to Elkanah. It is what you find not too heavy to do you become prompt and decisive with. Did you see her promptness and decision there? Hannah thus sure set an obligation she'll be able to pay. She needs a child and to her, it could just be to erase the reproach that she's barren in life. She seems not to worry much as to whether the child grows up with her or not. That's the prove! Don't be unnecessarily moved to inflate what you'll do which you may not do because you feel as human, "I must balance the equation. If He'll be doing this much for me, I must do unto him that much also." It's written no where on vowing. Rather, faithfulness to whatsoever you have set by heart or mouth is what matters in vowing. You won't lose credit worthiness with God if you're a quick payer of your vows. He'll esteem and have great regard for you.

PRAYER: Let me have a revelation of what the prayer of faith is and its importance as to know I don't need vowing. I grow in faith and grace to pull and receive. I vow according to the proportion of my faithfulness.

GIVE IT AWAY IMMEDIATELY - Vow Series 001

Read I Samuel 1

I Samuel 1:24, KJV

"And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young."

It is hard giving away but you must learn to give away. It could even become harder when you make a vow. Have you observe that after making a vow, fulfilment of same always seems too high. That's why conclusively, the Bible admonishes you not to vow at all if you won't keep it (Eccl.5:4-5). Rather, simply pray on your requests and don't be a vain speaker because God won't hold you guiltless. Hannah vowed unto the Lord. It was a vow of agony and extreme bitterness. She's been under besetting mockery from Peninnah whose quiver is full of arrows.

I Samuel 1:11, KJV

"And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."

At the weaning of baby Samuel, Hannah didn't tarry, she refused to delay but rather tore Samuel off herself to the the Lord as vowed. How easy is this? Couldn't she have changed her mind after birthing Samuel? She could but she did not. Try imagining someone who has been reproached for years who now has one that she should take comfort in but which something suddenly collects same from her. How easy would it be? Some people would have said, "God, let us revisit this thing. What would people say if they hear I'm no longer with child. Won't they call me wicked for wanting to cut off such a kid as this?" It is at moment like this that people suddenly become reasonable. Previously, they were ruled by extravagant emotion. Many of such didn't consider what they were saying well while vowing. They thought the mightiness of their words is what would compel God to answer them. So, they swell and swear big and at the end shelves the responsibility - which is keeping their own side. The mercy in vowing is that you set the terms yourself: both yours and God. God doesn't impose or tell you what He'll agree on before He blesses you. So, you'll be sincerely and indeed guilty if at last what you said you would do seems too big to you to now do.

We should learn from Hannah who's a human of like passion like us all. I knew she faced her temptation of keeping Samuel longer but she didn't. She disciplined herself having known a rule that the more I keep this boy with me, the more it becomes difficult cutting him off to the Lord later. Nothing in her vow stipulates sending off Samuel to the Lord's house at such a tender age when he gets weaned. When Hannah said, "and I would give him to the Lord all the days of his life", she could have done that at a later age of Samuel and not at weaning but I suppose her conscience bore her witness to release the boy at such a tender age and then after weaning. To Hannah, "and I'll give him to God all the days of his (Samuel's) life" is justified to begin after weaning. That's what her conscience allowed and she didn't violate it though really tough to do for any mother. That's why as soon as Samuel was weaned, she closed her eyes and pretend to be a wicked mother but sent him to the academy of the prophets that soonest and immediately. Her vow was to release the boy and she was quick to make it good. Samuel departed to the prophet's academy so early that the Bible witnessed, "and the child was young." I knew everybody must have wondered at the absurdity of such mother to have cut off such a little child away from herself yet at such a tender age. It costs her but she paid her part of the vow fully. Hannah isn't a spirit but a human. Learn from her and not delay to pay your vow or all other already prescribed obligations to the Lord i.e tithe. The more you delay, the easier it becomes forgetting and harder to redeem. So, as soon as you receive alert, let it be the first thing you cast out from you. Revere God this much and He'll take cognizance of you the more.

PRAYER: Father, show me my irredeemable vows and I shall make them good. Help me to keep any future ones and restrain my lips from quickly vowing.

A GREAT STORY OF AMENDMENT

READ John 4:46-54

John 4:52, KJV

"Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him".

Recovery is possible. Restoration can be an experience. Many stories of powerful recoveries litter the Bible. In real life also, I've seen and experienced cases of recovery also.

Jesus sent word ahead of a man to his son who is sick and at the point of death. Jesus only says, "your son lives". When this man eventually reaches home and investigates when the boy begins to get better, he could trace it to that hour of Jesus' prayer. So, all the glory goes back to Jesus for the testimony could be traced to Him only. No qualms or contest on who has done it and should be praised instead.

Today however, I am concerned with that piece of question the father's boy asked to ascertain when the boy adjusted in his position and condition of health.

"Then enquired he of them the hour when he _began to amend_ ".

"began to amend" is the phrase needed. What does it mean to amend? It means to begin to readjust. If you say a thing amends, it mean a leaving of its old positioning to taking a new positioning. When that man asked when his boy began to amend, he was asking in essence when his health started to depart from where it was - the deteriorating condition to going back to good health. God wants us be in health - the correct position we should be and shows more than a passing interest to take us back to health when there's deviation from good health. Mind you, deviation is deviation whether little or big. Signs of fever shows deviation.

III John 1:2, KJV

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth".

"Amend" suggests a thing that passes phases before it gets to the desired or expected phase of correctness, completion or perfection. If a genotype is AS and one prays and amendment begins to take place, you'll observe at the end a deviation from the AS position known since all this while to a new and recent position of being AA.

For a thing to amend takes process but the process might not be noticed because it is supernaturally quickened. So, it would look as if it never took time to ameliorate in the first instance. There is a road to walk without compromise. Since the Lord gave me this revelation of "amend", I have told different situations to begin to amend. When they did, those things begin to change position gradually like a water that is drying up until it dries wholly. It just didn't dry once and for all. It passes through phases to finally get to the drought stage where you could say, " and it is no more!"

I'm anointed to minister to you. First of all, are you carrying sicknesses or any terminal illness in your body? I don't have time to mention them all but I'm declaring, "let your body, health and condition amend!" You will not cross over without the correctness being done and the wrong being made right by Jehovah. I declare that wherever you've been taken away from your original position, begin to amend until you attain that former utopia.

Naaman has leprosy but when he is prayed for, a testimony follows.

II Kings 5:14, KJV

"Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean".

Did you read that part that indicates recovery, restoration and amendment? Where it says, "and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean". "That coming again" though seems to have happened instantaneously actually passed through a process of amending before it reaches a place of utmost cleanness where no traces of leprosy could be identified.

I pray, the God of amendment is amending all the things that need to be in their perfect form as you've entered this month. I prophesy also that April shall amend. You shall know it to be a different month that answers to your words.

PRAYER: God of amendment, take me back to any original utopia deviated from. I amend in health, genotype, financial status, marital, spiritual conditions.

LISTEN TO HIM

READ Galatians 4:1-15

Matthew 17:5, AMP

"While he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud [[b]composed of light] overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is My Son, My Beloved, with Whom I am [and [c]have always been] delighted. Listen to Him!"

What A will do that will satisfy God's heart isn't what B will do. The specific act may differ. Only that what Christians does to satisfy God's heart and earn His approval generally falls under being obedient and taking heed. For someone like Abraham, he believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness. The specific act that would delight God and bring reward to you or me is what we don't know but let's in all our endeavours be obedient children. When we have struck the deep of God's heart, we'll know we've done so because God Himself will raise dust and speak about it. It even shows in new promotions and approval.

The first time a voice like the one above testified of Jesus being God's beloved was at Jesus' baptism. However, God didn't say "listen to Him". That tells you winning of heaven's recommendation is deemed fit by God and comes by and by. As it is occurring to my mind, it's as if God has a panel of divine host that checks with Himself if a Christian or minister has indeed satisfied His heart as to win His approval. Do you remember at creation, God the Father was not only the board member seated and doing it all? God the Son and Holy Spirit were around which reflects in the language used, "come, LET US create man in our own image..." Genesis 1:26.

When you have satisfied God's heart, He'll appear to decide whether you've pass your exams or not. Unless you're tried and you're found to have passed, your word don't come [Psalm 105:19].

"Listen to Him" that God the Father said places a higher degree of approval on Jesus. God is a careful God. He doesn't recommend a minister out in the hearing of others as one they should draw their demands on if the man has not been watched over the years to have a life that backs up what he professes. If he's not a doer of what God says and he preaches, God has no business showing him to the world as a beloved son or daughter that their gathering and obedience should be given to. Of Jesus, it has been afore said that people's gathering shall be unto Him.

Genesis 49:10, AMP

"The scepter or leadership shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh [the Messiah, the Peaceful One] comes to Whom it belongs, and to Him shall be the obedience of the people."

How it surprised me that when God wants to commend and compensate Jesus for being a beloved son, it was an instruction to "listen to Him" He gives out. It's a blessing when you're not refuted or rejected as a minister. Whenever a Christian is being refuted and rejected, he ought to find out whether he has first satisfied God's heart. Why did I say that? The Bible says, "when the ways of a man pleases God, He (God) makes even his enemy be at peace with him" [Proverbs 16:7]. So, all the remedy for acceptance is actually in pleasing God. If you can strive and seek to expend yourself to please this Father in heaven, if He turns to you, you'll be surprised at what He may reward you with especially if you're a minister. I guess it may be, "listen to him." After all the "you're my beloved son in whom I am well pleased", if " listen to him" don't follow, that beloved son is still like a heir who's but a child but who's under tutor and governor until the time appointed of the father for him comes. You break loose into the utmost and get trusted with the delivery of bread to others when "listen to him" follows "this is my beloved son".

Those of you that have been longing to hear a voice like this or be promoted from one level to another by the delivering of a letter or news, it seems good to me to announce that your time has come. You will receive the good news and the joy shall be yours to rejoice in.

PRAYER: Any letter of promotion I await, my word comes now in Jesus' name. May my life and living pleases you.

CATCHING IT YOUNG

READ I Kings 3:16-28

I Kings 3:21, KJV

"And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear."

There's a Spirit that helps Christians catch it young. That's the Holy Ghost. As it happens fresh like this, they don't let it tarry but rather fish it out. Two prostitutes housed in the same house gave birth. To worsen their case when presented, no witness knew about all their narration. So, it became difficult fetching out the liar from the truth teller. One claimed the other laid on her own child who died but which she substituted for her own living child. All this drama happened when she was asleep and obviously really asleep. Motherhood stress had beaten her down to the sleep of death. Meanwhile, when she became conscious and had the opportunity to investigate the matter, she immediately found out that the dead child was not hers. She stood on her ground and with all conviction kept refusing the new result they had just shown her. It wasn't like this last night. It can't be like this this morning. This isn't mine!

This woman couldn't be begged. She had to appeal to the king. Staying her hands or doubting whether the dead child is hers or not was settled in a jiffy. A day didn't pass over it. One hour to her being awake to investigate didn't go over the matter. Immediately, she reprimanded the situation and at the end found justice when she retrieved her real child.

Saint, you may be asleep in the night, you may be unconscious, you may be tired or bored and so taken advantage of. After waking, for how long will it take you to discern they've come to pack your goods and then replace it with the pseudo so you'll accept falsehood in place of truth and never come to the knowledge of the truth? This is why I love detectives, force members (intelligent officers) etc. If you enter their room and shift a thing from its position, at their return, they could fish out if that thing was turned or shifted. Their training made it possible. You too need a training to pick accurately. That woman picked the revelation that her child wasn't the dead one by considering him well in the morning light. Everything that is not yours which they've sold you, it is time to make an appeal to the king. It is time to refuse it all. We say NO to it today. I pray for you that nobody will be able to deceive you again. The Spirits (succubus and incubus) sleeping with you free of charge in your sleep will meet with a wall. That spirit will henceforth find you wise. Come to understanding. Regain your reason that the dead child isn't yours. Have the discovery that you have bastards amidst the children in your house yet under disguise that they're yours. See the fake for who he or she is. See the devil pretending to give prophecy in your congregation. At the snap of the fingers, let your memory of what you really possess come to you. Let the veil be torn. The padlock is open and the hook is corrupted.

PRAYER: I come to the knowledge of what is mine which is good and perfect gift while discerning same from pseudo possessions.

EVANGEL OF GOOD TIDINGS

II Kings 7:10, KJV

"So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were."

What do we preach? It is the good news - of all Jesus did to purchase us redemption. The gospel that we preach is however not a far fetched thing for the preacher or that Christian who would preach it must have experienced it first of all. What we preach on another side is therefore who we ourselves have been made in Christ. It is this position we breathe out as invitation to other men who need Him. If you cook a meal and you're called back to teach the cooking of that meal to another, if something is not amiss, he who cooked it the first time should be able to reveal neatly again the process of its cooking. Herein that saying is fulfilled that, "it is what you have you give." It is who you were made at Salvation which you now know that you now call others to. Unless a man has sincerely discovered how impoverished a sinner is (having been a sinner himself previously), he'll likely not preach to others but rather colonize the gospel and make it a pool of water that do not flow though he has been recreated in Christ Jesus. This isn't God's intention as we shall see. On every occasion that a soul is saved, he (the soul saved) owes Jesus an obligation of preaching the gospel to others while they're left to be convicted of their sins by the Holy Spirit. This is where you do unto others like you've been done to. It also reveals your love for your neighbour, for he who is saved and knows the eternal damnation of the unsaved would desire them saved.

The four lepers at Samaria's gate have come upon the abundance that could feed the city. They took their time to joy in this abundance. We were told they ate and then carried off valuables to lay in store for themselves. They first of all became partakers; not sharers. After taking their fill and having a contact with the experience which is akin to the salvation of a Christian, they then call themselves to conference on how needful it is to spread the good tiding of their find. Mind you, their preaching is the good news of the discovered abundance which anyway they've experienced. Not what they saw but didn't partake of. Herein is this scripture fulfilled.

I John 1:3, KJV

"That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."

If you go to verse one, you'll hear John speaking convincingly that what they share or declare unto others is "that which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life." We know that in reality, Jesus was born and took form of flesh. This gave the disciples ample privilege of relating with him with their senses. What you see with your eyes and grab with your hands, could you be persuaded out of its existence? John was simply saying they contacted Jesus first hand. They experienced Him and same which they've related with is what they declare to others that they may be like them in fellowship so that all of them could fellowship with the Father and the Son.

These lepers also experienced before they declared their find (which became their experience). It is a lighted candle we use to light another. A recreated spirit is only he that is qualified to bear the gospel to sinners. So, if you've not been a partaker of eternal life, you can't be His preacher. That's all those lepers did. They didn't become preachers of what they've not come to its knowledge. Brethren, what God is making you today is an evangel of good news which once upon a time brought you unto salvation - to the knowledge of truth that Christ bore your sins, suffered for you, died for you and then resurrected to give you life. Is it not while we were yet sinners Christ died for us (Rom.5:8)? That's the gospel. Declare same to preach Him and He that rose to live for evermore will save them.

PRAYER: Open my eyes to see my redemption and the consequences of it. May I know the gravity of the damnation of an unsaved soul to preach Him to them.

ACT: Seek to preach the gospel to a soul today.

LEPERS WITH JESUS' MIND

Read Mark 16:15

II Kings 7:9, KJV

"Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household."

You remember the Samaria siege. Syria came with all preparation to crumble Samaria from within. The general who led that operation planned it all well down to the latter. His military intelligence was tactical. If not for the Lord's doing which became marvellous or troubling to our sight, Samaria would have surrendered indeed but the Lord held its back from being broken. Where the enemy wants you get, you won't get there because intervention and support would aid you to stand erect on your journey. You'll also remember there were four lepers at the Samaria gate who couldn't go into the city or stay where they've been again. They decided therefore to explore going to the Syrian's camp in the tenor of voice, "if we die, we die." However, they met the tents as they were with horses and asses tied. So, they ate and entered from tent to tent carrying valuables away for safekeeping and investment. After they've eaten (satisfied their temporal need) and have collected rich treasures repeatedly for safe keeping (for the future to come), they came to their senses and say, "what good is selfishness. There's joy in sharing. Today is a day of good tidings." What makes it a day of good tidings? The discovery of all these goodies in famine that no one planned would be available. It would be succor to all if shared. They said we must spread this news abroad. We must tell the king's household for if we delay, a devastation would overtake us.

Brethren, these lepers have the mind of Christ. We've been admonished that this mind should be in us which was in Christ Jesus. We're not talking humility only but love and its expression and all other expression of Christ's nature or the eternal life in you. There are things that are exhibitions of the recreated man. Selfishness isn't part. We know it is what you have you can give. He who doesn't have Christ can't persuade another man to receive Him so. So, they first had to taste of their discovery first of all and having been filled of same said, "now, it must not end here." Selfishness is contradictory to love. Love is no part of the ruling force in Satan's kingdom. The gospel that you have heard, the good tidings or good news which got you born again is not something that you must camp with yourself. No, no, no my friend. That's why I said these lepers have the mind of Christ. They became evangelists of good tidings. They spread their find under the awareness that there's always a repercussion catching up with those who are selfish in life. Selfishness is limiting many people from enjoying real joy. The means of prospering you came across, what profit would you take from it if you hide it from other men on the basis that you never wanted them rise to compete with you? Such people with myopic view may have a repercussion catch up with them later. God's generosity is always pluralized. As he rains on the good, he releases on the unrighteous. He always gives us all things to enjoy. God is calling you to same. He's saying, majorly, "share your find." What's your find? Christ Jesus whom you have found as your Lord and Saviour. Don't forget that the intention thereunto for which God made this lepers stumble on this find first of all is to be able to share its good news with the whole city and break the back of famine in the land. It was never to colonize that find. They must live to fulfill what was said even ahead of their finding the find. Elisha prophesied abundance and if these lepers would become obstinate against being evangels of good tidings, it may please God to raise voices and help from another quarters but they shall not go unpunished. They knew the consequences of not sharing their find. Do you know there are consequences of not spreading the good news. You're being counted upon to fulfill the great commission. Don't withhold. Share your find today! Tell somebody to tell another. You're very important in this process because how can they hear unless there's a preacher. Herein, you don't have to be called into the five fold offices to fulfill this. You're a carrier preacher. Simply fulfill Acts 1:8 and the mind of Justice shall be satisfied.

PRAYER: You died for me and show me love. Agape you are! May I become agape to others also.

ADDICTED LISTENERS AND READERS

THEY DON'T LISTEN TO/ READ A SERMON ONCE!

I did a very long teaching which I released on our ministry's platforms today. It's not yet on the blog. After that, I wrote this short comment to encourage the brethren to read it and probably read by breaking it into bits. It was while doing that I narrated my experience of being anointed and taught on how to listen to or read sermons.

"You may read them in bits. Please, mind this. They don't read or listen to a particular sermon once.

The more you listen to it or read it, the more you see wonderful things from there. The more the Spirit of the message possesses you. There's a thing like that.

When I got anointed, it was by watching the videos of the teacher God knitted my heart with on campus. I was watching a video titled "Covenant Compliant Life" one day when I found out something coming on me. That ASF Secretariat in TASUED, I used it to the fullest and I thank Sis Kemi Babalola (we're from the same town, home church (though different branches) and same diocese) who would bring me food many times. I love her Amala. Kai, she's a homely woman and we had known each other before I came to meet her in TASUED. We were choristers in our home churches before each of us gained admission.

From then when I teach, there's this appeal my words carry and I'm always persuaded internally that I'm having the attention of people and that I'm on point.

Anointing wets you so that you won't remain a dry preacher. It is rhema that gives life and not logos and until you're anointed, logos won't break loose for rhema to come out.

Until then, you may not see wonderful things from the Bible. So, when you read, read a teaching as many times as possible, things that are happening to you there are uncountable beyond my mention in this short comment.

Also, when you've listened to a sermon before or read a thing before and a part there is reoccurring to you or becoming appealing to you again, go get it and soak it in again.

It is your spirit thirsting for the living Word or awaiting a special encounter in that sermon (which is to be listened to again). It may also be that your spirit, that is human spirit is seeking to reinforce a truth into himself or herself. So, always give heed to learn these operations of the spirit. Summarily, once you have that urge or thirst to revisit, you'll be fulfilling this Psalm.

Psalms 84:1-3, KJV

"1 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God."

THEN, let us consider Psalm 42:1-2.

"1 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?"

Did you see the panting of the soul after God in those two places? The panting of your soul after anointed messages is actually a seeking after God. Unless you listen again, you'll observe you're not contented and the thirst in you not still doused. God allows that thirst to put Himself in the soul of Christians. He uses that same way to call us into fellowship. Prayer and bedroom revival may break up from there. If you go back to read that teaching or listen to that sermon as being prompted, being appealed to, being encouraged or soothed at heart to do, you may not know when the Lord would come on you to give you a teaching to write from there, song to compose from there or a comfort to receive from there. The answer you've been looking for, fasting and praying for may be there. Until we obey, we don't know what would break loose from our obedience. Until Jeremiah trusted to obey God to first rise to go to the potter's house, he never had inkling as to what God would say neither did God speak. You too, when you're prompted to go reread a teaching, search it, ask it and read it again. You don't know how much your obedience would profit you until you obey. Only launchers would inclose a great draught of fishes at the Master's command. The reluctant will remain the same. May you not.

DID DAVID INDEED KILL HIS TEN OF THOUSANDS? - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 006

Read I Sam. 17

1 Samuel 18:7-8, KJV

"7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?"

At the battle against the Philistines, God used David to kill Goliath while the rest of the Philistines turned back when they saw their champion was dead and were pursued by the Israelites' soldiers and killed (I Sam. 17:51).

At the arrival of the soldiers, they were met by women who with their creative ability have composed a song to celebrate the victorious occasion and acknowledge all those that should be acknowledged. In the song, David's and Saul's names were strewn into it with David given the larger share of the conquest. They said, "Saul has defeated his thousands but David, his ten of thousands." Yet, we all know David only killed a fellow - and that's Goliath. Then, where came, "David has killed his ten of thousands if indeed he only killed Goliath?" What you have to quickly understand is this, a leader worth many of his followers. Yea, we're not trying to show unreasonable superiority between those up there and those down here. That's why you and the president of your nation don't receive the same security preference. They're on the look out for him, not you. Consider these places that shows a leader is a multitude of his people (II Sam. 18:3, I Kings 22:21, Matt.26:31).

So, it is now rightly being interpreted if we say that though it was only Goliath that David killed, but because he was a principality, a giant, a great warrior that causes fear in people, a mighty mountain and obstacle that many fear and regard as "can't be confronted let alone defeated", he qualifies being regarded as multitude. Even Saul discouraged David by saying, "he has been a man of war from his youth." That's to tell you how much he was referenced. If that be, it is this importance of who David killed that made the women sing in that manner. Goliath worth ten thousands of the Philistines! That's why when he died and it was verified so by his soldiers, they fled. He was their salvation - in whom they put their trust.

We're on the matter of not exchanging one's honour for stubble like Barak did. God called him to go war against Sisera with a mandate and an assurance of victory but he refused and demanded that Deborah (a woman, whose jurisdiction and specialization isn't warfare as deemed fit by heaven who did the selection) go with him. Deborah was not reluctant to put a proposal on the table that then, the honour would be women's. So it was. Jael, a woman was the one who killed Sisera and in that manner, the men or Barak couldn't have the honour of killing the general unto themselves yet it is the general that matters. I don't care if you kill a million soldiers. We're all on the outlook for who puts the commander to rest. That's the shepherd. Strike him and see the sheep scatter. Rather, Jael was sung as the one who really won the victory. I'm I making sense at all? Today's teaching is to show you that what any leader protects is the honour. Look at Saul. Though he was reluctant and scared fighting Goliath yet he never played with the honour when the women sung David for having conquered to the uttermost and won the real victory for them. He was discontented. Every man at the home setting without necessarily becoming jealous or envious of their wives must in this way seek to better them. Let's ask ourselves. Indeed, who should ten of thousands be accounted to? It should be Saul. Though it wasn't accounted to him yet he saw the need and regarded it as a violation (anyway he didn't do the job). He said "what else could David not have, to even the Kingdom?". He understood the kingdom is next after such acclamation. That's the zeal that didn't consume Barak when making that deal. He sold the trophy to the female's clique and wasn't troubled. No generation of males would read what he did that would pray for him because he reduced the honour of the office of men. Wherever you are, seek to win the honour. If God has called you to do it, don't delegate it. He who calls you is always faithful, who also will do it.

PRAYER: Lord, let me be filled with zeal and jealousy to possess what is mine. When others are giving hard work to possess a reward for themselves, may I not be a spectator.

OUR INTERVIEW WITH A FEMALE IN TROUSERS - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 005

Judges 4:9, KJV

"And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."

The interview that we had with the once upon Judge, Prophetess of Israel and wife of Sir Lapidoth actually reveals some interesting facts. Under the teaching anointing today, we shall present all to you.

When Sir Barak foolishly, unwittingly, cowardly ensued the partnering of Mrs Deborah in the battle, Mrs Deborah knew this was outside it. She was shocked herself. According to our newsmen, they said, "she was jostled, taken aback and fearfully worried at what manhood has become." For a minute, she watched Barak with mouth agape wondering at his disbelief in God and belief in mere mortal.

According to what our newsmen gathered, they said, Mrs Deborah had wanted to refuse this offer before but for some reasons. They said the reasons were not spurred by selfishness as some men have accused her of. They said, one, to encourage Barak. It seems he needed a helpmeet or an encourager and who best does that but a female and a wife. Two, she was forced to go on that journey because if she refuses, Barak would believe less or not at all in that prophecy. He'll call it a scam and accuse Deborah of wanting to send him to his untimely death. These were all the reasons that Mrs Deborah gave as to what prompted her into accepting the offer of going to war with Barak. Our newsmen said, accepting to go was no evil but what about snatching the trophy meant for him or the males? Why would she do that? She stammered and had nothing much to say except that, "would God not have compensated her if such was given her?" This still seems invalid to us because we wonder why she who proclaims herself a wife at home won't seek the greatness of men since she has someone over her at home. Should we say Mrs Deborah Lapidoth has been lording it over Sir Lapidoth at home and same is now happening with Barak? She was accused of not helping men to become proper men they should be. If Barak didn't know how to be one, couldn't she open to him the consequences of not doing the job outrightly. Note it, don't take another man's honour, trophy or reward. Exercise all fairness and let your righteousness exceed that of the Pharisees and Sadducees so you don't wake to live with guilt when you're confronted or at your receiving understanding personally. We should not become Jacobs who are opportunists and capitalized on the disadvantages of others. Wealth gotten by such means is ill and it's very much unsatisfactory. It makes you enemies also as you make the other person appear as a fool.

PRAYER: Lord, my righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees and Seduces.

THE HONOUR URGES ON - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 004

Read Judges 5

Hebrews 12:2, KJV

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

It is the honour that you have to concentrate on. Yes, focus on the profit or the reward. The task may be hard but the honour or reward is the encouragement thereof. This is what Barak should have remembered before soliciting for an assistance that took the honour off his hands. When Deborah and Barak were bargaining ad setting whose the trophy or the honour would be, if Barak had asked Deborah to explain what the honour meant or describe how the honour would be to him, probably he wouldn't have let the honour go to the female club. Though Deborah was apparent in her saying by not using any dark saying to keep in oblivion what she intended but it still seems Barak lack understanding of intensity, weight and repercussion of the matter. It was a disgrace to the male cult or clique. Even God didn't set it so for the females to have the honour here. He didn't intend the honour should be for the females until new terms were set by the two. This is how many men put themselves in trouble when it comes to having sex. They'll be swearing to do this or that for the woman because of sex. They'll promise great things that a wise woman may tell them to give an oath to back up. So, they'll become a debtor. When reality now stares, they'll begin to say but it was a joke. Did heaven not sign this one? Why will heaven not agree with the one you'll give her? Did women not carry Sisera's head? Was heaven not watching the folly of men on earth when Barak agreed the women have the honour because of cowardice?

It was written of Jesus that He endured the death of the cross because of the joy in front. He knew the joy in front and then he understood what it meant. Many know it also but they don't understand it until they lose it. Consider Esau. He knew what birthright meant but he didn't know its gravity. If he knew, he won't bargain cheaply or enter into such scamming and cloudy deal with Jacob. To prove he didn't know what it meant having the birthright, you'll see he wept having it back but to no avail (Hebrews 12:16-17). That time he was weeping, he had discovered what the birthright meant. What sort of deal is that one? It is not different from what one African country by the name Malawi did by signing a mining deal with an Australian mining company that's projected to earn $900,000,000 in fifteen years. Over the same period, Malawi itself would be paid the royalty of $45,000,000. Yet, Malawi government didn't see it as a bad deal. That's evil. Come to your senses if you've been taken for a fool in this way.

Is there any who any female first of all is exercising evil dominion through witchcraft over, I break that power. God didn't create females to lord it over males especially in the home setting. The man is the man, the husband is the husband. So, wherever you're been enslaved and your head has become the tail, I recover you. It ought not to be Ahab that would be crying while Jezebel does the comforting (the work of a husband) I Kings 21:5-8. I stop all witchcraft processes. I break its sword and rod. I reverse and reorder life for all males who have given or giving the Barak's (male's honour) to a Deborah. I restore your years and time in newness. Henceforth, the weight and gravity of matters that you may take for granted shall hit you and such will surge you up. To any person also under tyranny or witchcraft of any, come to your senses, awake and risen from the slumber of selling yourself out in perpetual slavery.

PRAYER: Let the gravity and consequences of events dawn on me. May I see beyond what appears. I see the joy in front and comprehend what it means fully. I end perpetual slavery in Africa.

WHAT SORT OF DEAL IS THIS? - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 003

Judges 4:8-9, KJV

"8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. 9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."

God said, "Barak will go to war and lead the battle". Barak says, "Deborah must go and take her position even when God is not offering her any position as a warrior or war lord." Was God stupid for calling a man to that office of warrior and soldier? Could he not have chosen Deborah? That she's a Judge who discerns matters for people doesn't make her a warrior and leader of an all male's task that God has not even given. God recognizes specialization and individual's limitation. However, as we all know, what was not so from the beginning (as God instructed) was made so by what Barak insisted on. Look at how much Barak sees Deborah as Almighty. He was speaking with frankness of not going as if God was not enough for him. By so doing, he sold himself and his honour out. He changed God's move and handed the trophy to the women's clique.

There's no man that would hear of the deal Barak made with his mouth here that won't say, "what sort of deal is this? By the time all the warriors of Barak get to link the killing of Sisera to the prophecy and deal made, they'll live to disdain Barak. Why? He bargained so low. He bargained so cheaply. He needed assurance and he relied on a human for it who won't give one without a demand. God acknowledges that. If you labour, you must reap the reward. It is those that don't work that are told not to eat or reap the benefit of labouring.

Deborah said, "God has spoken. The God of hosts has said you'll lead the army". Uncle said, "Sister, unless you partner with me in this task, I can't do it alone". It sounded innocent but this is how demands that one's generation may live to regret do crawl in. This is how some sportsmen do sign themselves off to a wrong deal. This is how people do dig a well of future regret for themselves. They don't know that a foothold you give to Satan is an opportunity he always maximises well. Am I calling Deborah or women Satan? No! Do get my analogy. Deborah didn't slack. The devil also don't slack. The Bible says he prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. A thing that "seeks" what to eat is already and always at alert.

Deborah! Deborah who understood spiritual things. She knew a task like this is always followed by a honour. Do you know what she went for? The jugular. The island in the waters. She said, "I agree but the reward or honour is not going to be yours. It is going to be ours." Who are the "ours?" All females, girls, women, mothers in the generation of Deborah and those to come. Till tomorrow, any female given birth to will share in this honour. Whether you like it or not, that's what Deborah's sensitivity, care, courage and responsibility bought for them. However, all males were robbed of that. It was collected from the males here and given to the females and God consented. But don't make mistake that God for once intended or planned that it would be a female that would stamp the head of Sisera. No! He gave the honour to a male (even if it won't be Sisera) who would achieve it but Sisera didn't understand how to deal well on the business table. He didn't understand the offer given him and what great honour it would bring him. Please, don't let anything make you to bargain less at the bargaining table. Also, don't let anything force you to succumb to wrong bargaining. Do you know what I was expecting Barak to do when Deborah presented that offer? What offer? "The honour won't be to men." He should say, "Noo. We have to be the one to carry the head of Sisera." He should shame her with the fact that though she's a prophet and a judge yet she has a husband at home. A husband who lays on her. One who stays on top. One who she answers sir to and to whom her desire is unto. Immediately, she'll set another price. She'll be forced by shame into it. Today, are you in business or whatever? God is giving you the mouth of Deborah that no one can refuse. What you set is what they'll agree on. You'll always win contract. Meanwhile, take cognizance not to lose what you already have like Barak by being tempered and giving consideration to the reward and honour of the deal. Be a man of careful meditation and not emotion.

PRAYER: Lord, I refuse to exchange gold for brass. I'll not let go of my good rewards. I'll not bargain or demand of life lesser than You gave me.

DON'T SELL IT OUT - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 002

Read Judges 4

Judges 4:8, KJV

"And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go".

This statement shows the male man as incapable, shivering and needing assurance here. Don't you ever think it was a blessing to him. It was not because it devalued him and transferred his honour and reward to the women. While this teaching is not revealing or calling females inferior yet we all know that women themselves agree without qualms that men should take the lead while they submit to them. Here, it was reversed.

God had a work to do. He voiced it out through Deborah, the prophetess and gave it to Barak. What a privilege to be sighted by the Almighty Who has so many people badgering Him for their allocation and assignment. This precious opportunity that some are dying to receive from glory on high however was rejected by Barak. You don't mean it! Tell me something please. He said, "I'm not contending God called me. No problem Prophetess Debby. You know what? I won't move an inch unless the vessel giving this prophecy and I go together". Come and see trouble and mourning in heaven that day. All angels turned to God and said, "Sir, are you seeing that unserious brother?" God said, "very well." Deborah looked at him again and wondered if he meant it. The sternness of not yielding, not agreeing on Barak's face must have served as enough message to her. With that observation, she didn't fight to change his mind that, "but you were the one God gave charge of this assignment." She didn't at all. Deborah who understood how things work with God; who knew that in all labour, there's profit; that it's what you sow you'll reap and that God is not unjust as to forget our labour of love in that we have ministered in His vineyard then quickly grab the opportunity. Do you want me show you how she accepted the offer?

Judges 4:9, KJV

This agreement is not different from the exchange of gold for brass. My Jesus! It is like exchanging glory for glamour. Why would Barak be contented submitting victory to the women clique? However, Deborah agreed to it at bargaining time to collect the reward and honour for womanhood and females). Somebody sold it out and somebody collected it!

Let us teach our males, our boys, our men and our fathers not to compromise their stand. I'm not driving at competition here but if God visits somebody with an assignment and he says, "I'm not interested or not enough for it", God will be forced to make a rearrangement. The same thing happened to Sir Moses. God didn't ordain Aaron would be his mouth (Exodus 4:10-16). Why do people love to carry unnecessary luggage that God has not brought them? Enh? Don't force the hands of God into slashing your rewards. Don't set another standard. If you however will say "no" as the first God visited with the assignment, then God will take that same assignment and its honour and give it to your neighbour. So, let all irrespective of gender seek not to be passed by either by rejecting the assignment wholly or seeking to share it with others when God hasn't make provision for one. Don't pass it over or sell it out. God set that the honour of that assignment would be Barak's or men's but when he reset the terms of the assignment himself, a woman had to carry the trophy. If not, probably Sisera wouldn't need run to seek asylum let alone being killed by Jael. Please, don't give yourself a jungle to clear when the Lord is only allotting a clean passage. Don't hand it over. Do the assignment wholly. Stop unnecessary, unwitty job delegation and partnership which the Lord didn't plan for you.

PRAYER: Lord,may I not reject You and Your offer. Those who reject your offer or resets its condition can't but lose or miss something.

Do you want to know what I heard which led to this teaching? "The journey without honour!" Just then, a voice responded in me, "may we not go on one". May I ask, "do you want to embark on a journey without honour?" A journey without honour is akin to a vainless labour. The kind of labour that returns no profit.

By the inspiration of the Lord, Deborah, a woman with a calling on her head called Barak and told him of the need to go war against Sisera. She delivered God's message. "And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand (Judges 4:7, KJV). This is enough assurance for any who has ears to hear. God Almighty said he would deliver Sisera into Barak's hands. However, he isn't satisfied. He's doubtful, scared and unsure. Do you know what he did next? He refused to agree. He refuted Deborah and point blank and bluntly tells her he won't move an inch except Deborah goes to battle with him. It is good to test realities and test the veracity of God's spoken word but this brother Sisera is actually reducing the honour of his office doing this. He's degrading himself as a male and then the leading warrior. He's proving to be incapable. You'll see. At war, the living God, ever faithful kept to His promise and discomfited the Sisera's army before Barak's. They chased and ruined them with the edge of the sword. It was such a very easy battle for the Israelites because God helped them from heaven above (by releasing angelic assistance) and earth beneath (by allowing that ancient river, Kishon to sweep Sisera's soldiers away). In this way, Israel won and Sisera on seeing how the battle has turned contrary flee on his feet. Wait o, he fled? Yes, he did. This fleeing is to fulfill prophecy. Where did he flee to? To Jael, the wife of Heber with whom Jabin, Sisera's Lord have pact. That's wisdom right? You don't seek asylum in the camp of your enemy. You do with whom you have pact to watch each other's back. However, when God has declared that the journey Barak is embarking on with the accompaniment of a woman (Deborah) who shouldn't be dragged into the matter at all will be without honour for him, then prophecy must be fulfilled even under the strictest and harshest or contradictory measures. Prophecy is like a bulldozer. Once it is issued like this. It becomes a force that consumes all hindrances on its path in order to deliver and find rest. The Lord watches over His words to perform them. Let me ask you. Should it be Jael, the wife of Heber with whom Jabin has pact that would kill (betray) Sisera? Who should lie and seek to cover Sisera completely if not she? However, since the release of prophecy, it has gone out contending for realization.

At the arrival of Sisera at Jael's lodge, he was accepted, relieved with milk and treated lordly. It was not long Jael drives a tent peg into his head. Behold the fulfilment of prophecy that the honour would be to a woman.

Let me warn you as the Spirit is urging me to do. Those of you God has given assignments to who's calling others to go on the journey with you when they've not being assigned are only trying to reduce, share or eradicate what honour God could have used you only to cause. Your reason is loneliness, fear, doubt and failure and so you seek a companion. Don't you know that if you call those God has not called or given you, they'll seek payment. That's why Deborah said, "the payment is that the main man (that you should kill) won't be sold into your hand but into the hands of a woman". We women (of whom I'm part) shall carry the trophy and so it happened.

How many of you wants to accept this kind of deal in business? Do you want to miss the real offer? Killing ten thousand soldiers isn't a matter as being the one that carries the head of Sisera. So, be warned and don't bring yourself under conditions that God initially freed you from in all His wisdom. I pray that the honour of the journey will be yours. None will share it with you. The glory is the Lord's but the honour is always men's. There's no assignment without honour but that of Barak whenever it's recounted, there would always be a pointing to the fact that it was a woman who did the job (thereby humiliating him and all the male soldiers taken to battle). It would have been better not going at all. So, be warned.

PRAYER: Lord, may I not bring myself under a lesser treat that I'll regret. I'm courageous, strong and up to the task. Here I am, anoint me.

THE HEART THAT GOES WITH YOU

READ II Kings 5:1-27

II Kings 5:26, KJV

"And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?"

Where can we go from the presence of God? Psalm 139 is a psalm of discovery that shows our not being able to escape from the Lord.

Psalms 139:2-3, KJV

"2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways".

God is the one that compasses your path. He is the God that surrounds you. In today's passage, Gehazi runs after Naaman to demand of him things that his master, Elisha had rejected after Naaman was healed of leprosy. After his arrival back to the master, Elisha requested of him where he was coming from. He lied and said " thy servant went no whither (II Kings 5:25, KJV).

Elisha then replied, "went not mine heart with thee when the man alight from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to collect this and that?" The following consequence is that Gehazi is cursed and he carries the leprosy of Naaman.

You should know that God's eyes follows you all-around. There is nothing done in secret that won't be made manifest is what the Bible says. As a child of light therefore, let your deeds be wrought in God so that you won't fear being exposed. If you have good deeds, you'll want to manifest it in light/public but if your deeds are evil, you'll want darkness to cover you. Secret sins and abominable deeds are really irritants to the Lord. You shouldn't indulge in any because God's heart and eyes would always go with you. Your conscience would bear you witness and call you to questions and order.

There's no time like any other to stop secret sins and come to repentance also than now. It is God before whom we all have to do. Fear Him as one that knows all, sees all and surrounds you about. Decide today not to carry any consequence resulting from secret sins like that of Gehazi. When your ways are straight, you purchase for yourself clear conscience before men and God. Gehazi though lied he goes no where that day knew deep down that his conscience bears him witness. As he denies his master, his heart tells him, "you lie". Your first judge as you go is your heart. So, pay attention.

PRAYER: I break loose from any habitual sin. I shall keep no secret sin that would bring me losses, harm or death. I'm a child of light and I manifest so.

ALL OF THEM WILL FIGHT BY YOUR SIDE

Judges 5:20-21, KJV

"20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. 21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength".

The resources, company and aid of a child of God is very much super and also much than that of his opponent. There's nothing that the devi can manufacture, is manufacturing or will manufacture that a child of God can't beat due to God's provision aiding him.

In today's reading, Barak went to battle against Sisera, the host commander of Jabin's army. However, he was discomfited by the Lord and all his warriors sent into panic mode. Sisera himself had to escape on foot. Begin to think of what could happen to a high state official or politician that would make him consider to escape on foot rather than his stately vehicle. Which one is faster for escape? However, which one is safer for escape? He probably wants a better cover in a place that he doesn't want his state chariot point the way to him. Nevertheless, the entire army was defeated by Israel. This defeat didn't come by ang special warriors taken to battle but by God's intervention and help to Barak and Israel. When Israel fought Sisera, it was not only the soldiers who fought, some natural and supernatural elements came to fight on the side of Israel in order to wreck Sisera down indeed. If not, the defeat of Sisera shouldn't have been so quick like this and a whole general reputed for fierceness in battle turn back for escape.

We were told that stars fought in their causes against Sisera. Are these the normal stars that came out at night in the starry sky? No! The stars there are better interpreted as angels. That's the first help and supernatural help that God sent amidst the troop of Israel for the quick defeat of Sisera. These angels came in a well ordered troop without breaking rank. Then, we were told that River Kishon washed many of Sisera's soldiers away. That's a natural element fighting on behalf of Israel again. What does this denotes? It means both in heaven and on earth, the tide turned against Sisera to have him defeated. While the tide has turned against him both naturally and supernaturally to see to his fall, the tide was working for Israel.

These are your resources. You can boldly be assured that what you take into battle isn't what the enemy has to bring into such space. That prophet has a revelation of this when he says they that be for us are more than they that be with them. You're more endowed and so fit for battle. The weapons of your warfare are not carnal yet are mighty to the pulling down of spiritual strongholds. The amenities and arsenal that fights on your side are just too numerous for you to be defeated. God will use everything possible to aid you in this life until you succeed. He doesn't withdraw his angels. Are they not ministering spirit? Neither will he spare the wind, even East wind, the sun, the moon etc to fight for you. Today, I make a call to the heaven that resources that answered Israel on this day would answer you. When you're in dire need and you need to break the back of opposition, you'll not only fight as a human and use your natural and limited effort/wisdom, you'll be aided by so many aids that you less thought off. Never think it was a small issue when the Bible says, you'll be in league with the stones of the field. Being in association with all natural forces make them work for one and not against one. Look, you're the one the Lord is fighting for.

PRAYER: Today, I command all aids meant for my help, arise for my deliverance. They that be with me are more than they that be with them.

BEWARE OF THOSE AND ANYTHING THAT DESPISES THY YOUTH

READ I Timothy 4

I Samuel 17:32-33, KJV

"32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."

If you have started, congratulations. If you are just seeking entry, may you be fortunate gaining one. The reason is because there are demons fighting starting. David showed interest in combating Goliath but he was not allowed to act on it immediately. He was first of all held back. A voice reasoned his authenticity to fight Goliath and almost quenched him. The voice was Saul's saying, "you are just a youth but he has been a man of war from his youth." Though it was a sense of responsibility that made Saul made this statement yet the demon of discouragement that lurks into people's lives and hinders them from ever going or starting on the road of mainstream purpose was actually hiding behind those words. David could have reasoned with those words and agreed he was just a youth. Saul's description of David humiliated David as being small and incapable. The picture that demon was painting to David was that of his incapability. Thank God David didn't see himself in the light of those heavy words. Saul said David can't handle the challenge but David rather reveals his past valour as criteria that made him fit for the job [I Samuel 17:34-48].

My prayer for you is that you'll pass when you want to heed destiny's assignment but discouragement are being launched at you. How many of you has the Lord called who should run for Him but who have been stopped and forever quenched by men's words especially those of authorities or those with oversight over you? Saul is a man with authority over David and he almost killed that divine motivation and energy of David to go and fight Goliath - which could have hindered the climbing of David into being acknowledged as a man of valour and one to be trusted and then followed in matters of war. It is not the fault of those who despise you and say you're too small for the job but yours if you allow your motivation to be quenched. Did the Bible not say that you should let none despise your youth [I Timothy 4:12]. You must shake them off with their despise.

There are despisers of one's youth. They may also be acting out of jealousy. They are of the set that missed the will of God while young who are too full of envy to guide youths (who still have time and energy) into starting and catching the flight of destiny while they may. I pray that every counsel, admonishment, question that is not the Lord's will for you to agree with won't comfortably take you away from your assignment. This same Saul telling David he was too young to confront their challenge also said "Goliath has been a man of war from his own youth." Why shouldn't David start from his own youth? Many who are saying you're too young to start actually started early. Please, ask them when you'll start if it is not now. Did you see the lie of the devil and how he crawls into the called, chosen, anointed's life to postpone their destiny until they're drawn and drawn further away from heeding the call of destiny through the demon of delay and procrastination which makes them see their incapacity. I'm sensing the oil flowing on me now. Henceforth, the devil won't lie to you successfully again. See what is not the right advice to take. That's what Eve could have seen in the garden when the devil was telling her what good eating the fruit will do her. She did not until eating it leads to their undoing [Gen.3:1-7]. Have an open sight and heart. Don't be dull in perspective but rather like a contender and apologist be ready to give an answer like David gave to Saul on how God has been using him to glory and gloat over similar issues but represented in killing of the lion and the bear.

PRAYER: I refute seduction away from destiny and kingdom assignments. I have correct insights into wrong counsels and advice. I won't fall prey like those that heard the call but couldn't heed it. I start now.

A CURSE AND WHAT IT DOES

Read Numbers 22:1-10

Numbers 22:6, KJV

"Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed".

That's wise Balak seeking the service of reputed Balaam to come curse Israel for him. Why should another wake to the destruction of another? As it is here, Israel is Moab's threat and Balak, the King of Moab would see to it that Israel is taken out so it doesn't conquer her like it conquered other reported nations for which Moab fear.

What is a curse? It's a working unseen but which can manifest that becomes an entity - a demon for instance to rule in the affairs of the cursed. Balak couldn't naturally fight and conquer Israel because some nations have tried and failed. On that experimentation, and having heard of the supernatural victories of Israel, he also requested for a supernatural help that might help him subdue them. Why did he request Israel to be cursed? Because Israel is too powerful for him. Begin to think of someone you want to give a knock on the head but who is far taller than you. You need to reach his head and administer the knock but the odds are against you. He's taller than you while naturally you are shorter. You either need high heels to correspond or outgrow his height or you need him to stoop before you see his head available for such knock. Such was the case Balak and his nation fell into. By divine ordination and the sovereignty of God's covenant and blessings working with Israel, no nation could have them fought naturally like that and get them defeated. Having seen this to be true, Balak opted for a way of reducing them to a place of being won. Do you now understand what a curse does? A curse reduces what is tall to what becomes short. It is a curse that makes the invincible to become the vulnerable. Israel is invincible but in the situation room, Balak had gathered that after being cursed, Israel might not be so invincible. The likelihood and chances that she's conquerable would then be opened.

If you're blessed, you don't know what it means until the enemy tries you and they encounter a blockade. That blockade is what every wise enemy always want to remove. Until the removal of that shield of yours, you can't just be touched. Blessing places a "touch not" on you. We have properties that are protected by several things written on them. You'll read a thing like, "Don't enter here. Government's order etc". That simple statement protects that place from being a walkway of men.

A curse brings to a place of vulnerability where the strong becomes the weak and could therefore be handled and the will of the enemy carried out on him. Consider Samson, he was invincible until his source of strength was revealed. After then, he became vulnerable. His two eyes were gorged out and then made a grinder and clown for jests making. Imagine how lowly the strong could become. That secret Samson gave away made him the cursed. That's the purpose of anyone cursing you. It's to subdue you so that anything, anyone and even the least of life situation that others are shelling and defeating could defeat you notoriously. It's then you'll ask, "Why is mine hard? Why can't I do naturally what others are doing and achieving?" Behold, it is a curse. Today, I pray that you won't be weakened. Anything that has weakened you, you recover from such in Jesus name. Even behind you, may Jesus Christ advocate for you not to be cursed. May it be only said of you that, "You're blessed." I break the yoke of curses and the rod of it under which you've been subdued to servitude.

PRAYER: I refuse to be shrunk. Anything or word of man seeking to create a vulnerability in me to be conquered, I rebuke you.

MAY OUR CHAMPION NOT FALL

I Samuel 17:51, KJV

"Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled".

Strike the shepherd, the sheep will scatter is indeed true. After the verbal exchange between Goliath and David, Goliath ran towards the battle line to confront the young lad whom he esteemed as a little rat. "And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods" 1 Samuel 17:43.

David, who won't allow the words of Goliath to damp him also gave his response. It was first of all war of verbal exchange! When the Philistine drew near to him for battle, he didn't waste time but rather went up to meet him for battle. David releases a slingshot which hits the giant on his forehead. The stone sunk in and he fell to the ground. In absolute victory, David stood on the once giant giant and rejoiced over him. He then took the sword of this enemy of the Lord and Israel to cut off his head. This act proves the irreversibility of Goliath's death.

On seeing the fate of their champion sealed, the Philistines turned their backs and fled. But these were the Philistines that once stood like Mount Zion that can't be moved. Why should they turn around now? The simple truth is this. We all have who or what we put our confidence resolutely in. Once it fails or falls, we're vulnerable. If you'll remember, in afore verses, it was Goliath who was making a call for the adoption of one to one combat. He challenged Israel and echoed, "give me a man that we may fight...". For anyone to have made such request, he is in the first place not a warrior to confront. He was not only sure of himself but all the Philistines' souls rested perfectly well on him. "He had done it before. He'll do it again", they say. While he was saying, give me a man that we may fight and was setting the terms and conditions, all the Philistines were busy giggling, mocking Israel and relieving themselves of the worry of army to army combat. They had seen in him a chest to lean on. To them, Goliath whom anyone of us would regard as a villain was a mighty deliverer. Isn't that why the Bible repeatedly calls him, "a champion". Guess whose champion's. Of the Philistines. The defender of their nation. A great ambassador of all they embody. But something happen. Goliath of Gath, the giant that scares a whole army went down. In absolute victory and rejoicing unparalleled, David, the boy he least esteemed carried his head. To this, his followers responded with a swift race to escape death. If the shepherd has been struck, the sheep should look unto his ways.

That's why I pray for you that your champion won't fall. The one God has given you to rely on shall tarry. Your parents, that sibling, that spouse who's your joy, helper, burden bearer shall not suddenly be taken away from you. If it happens, one should get ready for many embarrassments. When my father passed on, those who were apprenticed or like servants to him who couldn't come out afore times were the ones proposing love to my mother. I was so embarrassed at one such event like that that my blood boiled with jealousy to go beat one of such men. What couldn't afflict the Philistines at the watch of Goliath while he was standing tall, did at his back. That's what I'm praying you'll be saved from in all facets. So shall it be. Your wall shall not break down. Your defence shall not be weakened. Though man of flesh has little days and is not Spirit as to be eternally trusted, yet I pray that until you can stand on your own and defend your integrity, those whom God has given as covers to you won't be removed. In Jesus name!

PRAYER: Goliath is useful and is the importance of the Philistines. He is their shield. A singular man that protects the national integrity. Make me so. Those you've made so to me, spare them Lord.

BECAUSE IT IS YOUR SEASON

Read Psalm 1

Psalms 1:3, KJV

"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

The righteous is like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth his fruit in his season. What your gaze must be fixed on is _"that brings forth his fruits in his season."_ Do you know some things won't just yield unless their seasons come. If you know this, you'll quickly be hastened as a Christian to discern and separate between what you can accrue any time any day and what can only be received in its season.

There is a thing like " _the day, the time or the season_ ." If it is not the season for a leaf to fall off its branch, it won't fall unless you pluck it off. If it's not day for the sun to shine or night for the moon to peep out, you won't see either. Though they both wanted to be seen at the peak of their performances, yet they stick to the rule of their seasons. Season naturally calls you into manifestation even without your taking thought for it. That's why you have to pray that your season will come upon you. It is not age that determines season but the ordaining of God and how cooperative we are with God on our personal journey. Some by their own acts are delaying or postponing the ripening of their seasons though it has been afore fixed that they manifest or bring forth someday. Stop sinning, stop not putting preparation in place for the D-day.

If that tree bears fruits in its own season, the message is that you must bring forth at your season. It means some things must happen or be fulfilled upon you because of their time which has mature and is fixed. You're not destined not to be productive. You carry in you the seed that gives birth. That place says, "he brings forth HIS FRUIT in his season." Did you see? Some fruits were allotted to him. That is, whether he likes it or not, he must bring forth something which is his. God has destined you too to bring forth. Unless seasons come for some things, no matter how you try, you can't force result. If at your season, you however are not productive, then there's an attack and a curse of the devil hindering that. I break it off you in Jesus name. What did the Bible say here?

Psalms 102:13, KJV

"Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come."

Why would God arise? ...because that fixed time has come. That's all. Nothing added and nothing removed. Singularly, that's the reason for God's coming through for Zion. Are you not Zion today? Your season has come. If it's your season for it to happen or be done, it means it can't be hindered because things must answer at their seasons. A law is there and an angel watches over your season to ensure that it is kept. You won't miss seasons! I pray for you, because your season has come, you'll be productive in your calling and career. You'll be favoured, sought after and things would happen for you faster and better than you've been labouring to make happen. Alas, the season has come upon you. Result can't be hindered again because the Law and the Lord of seasons are watching to perform to you in your season.

PRAYER: Lord, help me by early discovery not to miss seasons. Restore to me any missed season/opportunities. Watch over my season with jealousy for accomplishment of purpose.

THE WORDS OF WHOSE MOUTH

Job 23:12,KJV

"Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food."

Whose words do you esteem? Imagine a pupil whose friend keeps asking 'will your dad buy the toy for you as he promised?.' That's a question challenging the father's integrity. The boy must have known his father well enough to be persuaded of his father's promise. The word and food are struggling to have the attention of people also. Food has gained many because it comes to us naturally. Hunger reminds us of eating. Not eating reminds us of health failure and death. Meanwhile, we fail to see the many dangers that lack of words from God's mouth can bring. Greater havoc! Many have given their allegiance to what they put in their mouth thinking that real survival comes from it.

Many, many people rank food as being important over instructions from God's mouth. You can't do without eating in a day. Shouldn't you also live with instructions from God per day? Stop deceiving yourself and face reality. When food is graded above what God would have said, you'll soon be in danger. Do you know there are business men who will eat and take all sort of drinks in the morning before going to work who don't see it more necessary to enquire and secure words from God's mouth concerning their businesses and lives? Yet, this same people do not have a prophet watching their back. Not long, his investment collapses and he experiences a quick down trend for having not received words from God's mouth. Survival is on food but real survival is on the words that stems forth from God's mouth to you.

People strengthen themselves with physical food and jettison strengthening every facet of their lives with what God will have to say. Real and cooperate danger! You see, God has more than enough to say to you. Your not coming at all is what barricades this free flow of privilege information. Motor accidents, plane crash, building collapse, stock collapse etc would still happen but words that you have waited on God to receive early in the morning or at afore times will save you from such. Even, if you're given a prophecy and you're the kind that despises and mock divine things, you'll still have fallen victim of what the prophecy had predicted. Mind you, receiving words for your life and others you're responsible for must be on daily basis. That's the key to your continuous survival on this earth. That's why the word was said to be steady and uninterrupted.

Matthew 4:4

"...it takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God's mouth." MSG

It must be continuous word. Why it should also be ever progressive word is because we receive and are given physical meat daily. We thrive on that right?

Luke 11:3

"Give us each day the food we need" NLT

Each day means daily. This is the principle of continual existence on the face of the earth. Even, gods and goddesses' worshippers rank communications and directions from their deity first of all. The priest daily consults his oracle too. He knows today will be different from yesterday and tomorrow from today. Shouldn't we therefore learn this wisdom better seeing it is written clearly in bold prints for us. Life is filled with uncertainties and unforseen contingencies which makes our daily receiving more important. Don't negotiate this today. Start a relationship with God by becoming born again and qualifying for notices.

PRAYER: May I not negotiate intimacy with you. Teach me waiting and receiving. Hint me of future occurrences. I won't fall victim of evils to come.
