MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
MIRACLE: THE BRIDGE TO NORMALIZATION - Lead and Feed Series 008
I Kings 17:14, KJV
"For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth."
One time, I prayed that I'll not live on miracles in this life. Then I recalled that I'm on earth and here, each of us will face problems and shortages that we can't but need God's special moment of miracles for. Miracle is actually not the daily normal way by which we live or by which God wants us live. We are for signs and wonders; no doubt about that. We should only ask on what conditions signs and wonders are triggered into existence. If everything were normal, there wouldn't be desire for a stepping in of the supernatural. It is rather always when the natural has failed. Because the natural order has thus been broken, God needed to supernaturally feed Elijah. Feeding by ravens or any sort of bird isn't the usual way God feeds any human being: unbelievers or believers. May I ask when last a bird or a snake brought food to you? However, you work and you do eat the reward of labour? God created that mould (specific) miracle for Elijah and would for anyone because of the need and circumstance that may come upon them. If there was no famine initially, would God have been necessitated to perform a miracle? Later in time, Elijah arrived in Zarephath. When he requested that the widow make him food, she disclosed her status and how little her meal is. Elijah then said, "the jar of meal won't be spent neither the cruse of oil fail until the day God sends rain on earth."
Did you note, "until the day God sends rain on earth." That's the day of normalization. They all desire going back to it. Rain falls to give us green herbs to eat. Without it, there can't but be famine. That's the day all of us do live in except it gets interrupted and we're brought into the experiencing of the "jar of meal shall not be spent and the cruse of oil shall not fail." Why would Elijah acknowledge that shortage won't afflict them until things normalizes? He himself knows that living on that miracle isn't the forever way of God's provision to them. It is just a privileged and temporary response to shortage so that they'll never be in want as to prosper such word like, "the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want."
Miracles are just the bridge that God uses to connect us to normalization. If normalization has been broken, God can give a miracle to carry you over and hand you into normalization. You have no job yet God chooses someone to be responsible for you. That's a miracle. It may lift when you're normalized since no adult desires that he'll be tied to another's apron. God also doesn't plan such for you. He rather desires making you a blessing in order to bless others. Someone has no arm. Whether he's born that way or he suffered injury on earth, if another limb grows out, that miracle would have first been because she had no arm and God wanted to restore and normalize her. If you check other human beings, their stories are that they have arms. Miracles of provision proves that God wouldn't leave our souls in "hades" as it concerns meeting our needs. It means if you're the sheep of His pasture, He would do anything to ensure your sustenance on the earth. He could use your enemy to feed you. Moses' sponsored him. Just mention it. I therefore pray that those of you who have had your staff of bread broken will experience a miracle. Until things normalizes, God owes you. He's under obligation to ensure you keep taking a living. If it will cost Him a miracle, He's giving you today and I assure you that miracle will persist until things normalizes. It is not a miracle that will forlorn you. As much as your need persists, the miracle will persist.
PRAYER: Lord, meet me at the point of my need. More importantly, restore me to normalization.
