PEOPLE ARE GOING THEIR WAYS

Read Matt. 27:1-5

Acts 1:24-25, KJV

"24 And they prayed, and said... 25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place".

This season is a dangerous season and you'll soon know why it is. The vision I see is of people hurriedly going their way to and people hurriedly going their way fro. This season is dangerous because while some will stay with their callings or are going to be with the Lord (in their callings); others are choosing to stray and go their ways (out of the will of God which they have known). This makes this season dangerous and it's dangerous because it keeps sweeping the feet of even those who have been planted already in God's will. Men are now repenting, not from their sins and frivolities but from God's will to doing the lust of the flesh and the riot man. 

The Bible records this concerning Judas Iscariot and I found it is not the testimony anyone should have spoken about him or her. 

Acts 1:25, KJV

"...from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place".

Note the expression, "from which Judas fell, that he might go to his own place." What should be his place? Where I ask if not the calling? However, this man who the Bible praises as having a lot with others and having obtained part of the ministry with somebody like Peter and others lost it all to go to his own place. The next question should be, "where is now his place? To where has he gone? Where did he leave to?" If he leaves the calling to go to his own place, where did he go?

May you not know where he goes by personal experience. There's no one who leaves his calling, either in ministry or in other fields who remain the same for life. Their life unarguably don't become better for it. So, where did Judas Iscariot go after a walk away from the calling? Peter described it as having gone to his own place - to his own lot, his own choosing and choice. What is his own choice and choosing? When Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus to the elders, the film didn't end there. He later feels guilty of having betrayed an innocent soul according to Matthew's account. The deed has been done but he's beginning to come to understanding. Coming to terms that way, he would seek to amend his ways but the guilt feeling wouldn't allow. He gets overwhelmed by it. Though he restores the thirty pieces of silver back to the elders, Judas himself never asked for forgiveness or heal from the wound of the guilty conscience he's wounded with. To show he's sorry for himself as the devil would push a lot of people to do, he receives an inner urging and motivation to hang himself (an act that was not a good response other than receiving forgiveness) - Matt.27:3-5. The devil is very much interested in ensuring that any man of calling who strays doesn't come back again. He knows you'll do more and deal him a greater blow than you have dealt him before if you do. So, he seeks to ensure you don't have the success of Samson that way. It is he who came back and killed more people at once than he had ever killed before (Judges 16:30). According to Peter's account in Acts, he died shamefully by falling headlong on the portion of land he used that reward of wickedness to purchase. He committed suicide and never knows the return to grace or calling. Peter in describing how he went his way and ended says this. 

Acts 1:18, KJV

"18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out".

Imagine that! Imagine such a sudden and shocking death as if something gripped his heart and it stops and it ends just like that. Should we call it a heart attack coming from guilt feelings? That's the kind of disgrace that could befall anyone who will choose to go his own way. The Bible says in Isaiah 53:6 that, "all we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned everyone to his own way..." Going your own way is also going into the world, going into sin, defiling and breaking the consecration of your calling. You may think you're enjoying; you may think you're richer than others but time will soon show you have left your calling's gratification to the gratification of selfish ambitions and goals. Who knows Whether Judas Iscariot had planned building a house? I'm thinking in that way because it was a land he used that money to purchase according to Peter's account in Acts. He was quick to acquire an asset. He's a very commonsensical man. He believes in what appreciates (so he purchases a land). But he has forgotten that there's no treasure laid on earth that does not roth or come to corruption. He knows the value of money but he does not know the value of his call. At the end, the only citation that would have been read for him would have been, "the man who went his own way". I pray for you, may you not go your own way. May God refuse you by the many salvation He'll put on the road for you. May God watch over your lot so that it is not left vacant and then elected for. May you always be here. Yes, with the called and in the calling; enjoying their privileges and persevering in their shames. 

PRAYER: Lord, I shall not err. I shall not depart from the faith or my calling to go my own way.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

Long Life and God's Salvation Oreoluwa ADEJUMO (M'Wings)

THE COMMANDED IS THE COMMANDED EVEN THOUGH HE QUESTIONS YOU

Mark 11:1, KJV

"1 ...he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither".

I looked at Jesus and I resorted at a man who lived the ordained and the predestined life. How I pray that our feet will all meet with the pre-planned of God. May you not go astray or wander off God's ready made plans. May you rather fit into it to the praise of He who has called and chosen you. 

Jesus enjoyed a lot. This verse contains one of the special privileges Jesus had. Such a prophetic life. It is said and discovered to be so. Jesus put two disciples on errand to the end that they might fetch Him a colt. It's time to ride triumphantly into Jerusalem. Everything is timed. He gives the address and even sees into the future that they'll be questioned as to what purpose they need the colt for. So, in taking thought for them, He told them what response to give when asked who ordered them to loose the colt. 

You see, that's another thing that amazes me. How did He know they'll face the probing of men? Obviously, that's the operation of Word of Knowledge. It's the manifestation of revelation. Roads unwalked would just be clear to you. Paths untrodden would lay bare before you. You'll just know (not by yourself) but of God. As the attempt to fetch the colt begins, a group questions them if they knew what they were doing. Their response was, "the Lord has need of it". It's this answer that satiates. It's this answer that settles all. Meanwhile, though these two disciples were commanded disciples and the people they met were as well commanded yet, they were tried. So, should we say they were not in the first place commanded by God? No. They were commanded by God and have been put under command since those two disciples received that instruction to go untie that colt. Meanwhile, one understanding is being supplied to us here. It is the measure that sieves truth from falsehood. That measure has been put in place so that many people won't perpetrate evil successfully in the name of God without being found out and stopped. Imagine if when they asked who sent you them, they had said, "Pilate or one of the big names", what do you think would have happened? Those ones wouldn't have agreed that they untie it let alone go with it. The instruction they had received is that, "the Lord has need of it" and on that note, when He comes for it (irrespective of who He send) it should be released to Him. That's why you'll be a failure if you deliver the captive of the oppressor and you were asked and you said, you did. Only God does. 

These disciples faced a query, a panel though God had spoken to them in truth and in deed. They still needed to be checked, probed and proven. At day's end, it was clear that they were as well the commanded to the commanded. While God has put men under obligation for them, yet those men had to prove them if they were as well ones sent to them. As such, I say nothing is wrong if you propose to a sister and she says not me. If you're sure of who spoke to you, go and meet Him. He'll speak and bend the knee of that sister for you. It is only when people are doing trial and error and they miss it that they'll say God does not work. Did He lead or guide you to someone or you're trying to slate a meet and pitch a relationship with someone? If you miss it, admit you miss it. Repent of having said you were formerly led. Rebuke the spirit of error. Have your conscience repaired and wait on God for who He will send you to. The mark that it is the Lord's doing is that when you appear, you have a word for that person and the fellow has a word in return for you. It is when you both click and enter each other this way that the Lord has spoken to both of you to and fro and sent you to each other to and fro. This test filters away for us those God didn't send but who wants to take what God has prepared and He's reserving for His own beloved. God forbid! You'll be discovered and rebuked once. That someone is the commanded doesn't mean he won't check you out. If God sends your church to go and meet a driver who He has spoken to who will avail your church his bus for a week of mission and evangelism. Don't you think God in His wisdom would have given that man a sign as well as yourself so that when both of you meet, there'll be agreement that you're for each other. Why won't God do that since He's not the author of confusion? That's the clarity. It is the measure that rather solidify our faith in this act and practice that if God commands someone for your sake, they shall after all surrender to the will of God. They may check things out, they may want to know who sent you and question the authenticity of your appearing and coming. However, it shall be unto you as afore said to you by God and as predicted by the words of His mouth. Keep your calm. Be assured that they shall obey if it's God. What we must prove is, "is it God?"

PRAYER: I receive patient spirit to tarry to hear God before my feet runs any errand..

FOR THE LORD SUSTAINS YOU: Thanking The Lord For The Life Of Oreoluwa ADEJUMO, M'Wings

FOR THE LORD SUSTAINS YOU: Thanking The Lord For The Life Of Oreoluwa ADEJUMO, M'Wings

I heard in my spirit, "for the Lord sustains you". I knew not what to say or preach or bring as a definite reason for thanksgiving (on your behalf) until I heard, "for the Lord sustains you". 

Of a truth, it's the Lord who has sustained you. Same has sustained all of us also but in particular (as today 30/07/23 is your birthday), it fits to see specifically why you're the favoured one who the Lord has particularly sustained. 

People and well-wishers with us, what does the Bible say concerning Oreoluwa and how the Lord has been her sustainer till now? See this Bible verse with me.

Psalms 3:5, KJV

"I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me".

Did we all read that? Once more, echo to me what it says specifically as it addresses Oreoluwa who we're celebrating today? It says, "she laid down and slept; she wakes; for the Lord sustains her". First thing first. That place says, "you lie down and sleep..." Let that portion suffice us for now. When that place says, "you (Oreoluwa) laid down and slept", it is referring and reminding you of your daily laying down or going to bed. Oreoluwa, I'll like you try to count how many times you have gone to bed since you have been born. I want to see whether it is countable and rememberable.

(We may be laughing already)...

If I'll join the other part of that verse to it, it'll read, "you (Oreoluwa) lay down and sleep; you wake up because the Lord sustains you". On daily basis that you have travelled into the dream world, sleeping, resting, taking a nap and being inactive (unlike being awake), that place brings to our remembrance one major thing that the Lord has carefully, selectively and proudly done for you. It is that, "He sustains you". Oreoluwa, God is bringing one thing to you. It is that, "I want you to see that I am the One who sustains you". It is just like He says of being the One who heals you (and consequently us or all of us). 

So, you ought esteem and see the importance of having been kept on this journey of laying down to sleep and waking up thereafter (to and fro) for these long years. It is this recognition that can and will fill you with gratitude for being alive today. Yes, the gratitude to fall before God and acknowledge Him as your sole keeper and sustainer.

No one has given you the hope of a new day to see the sunlight and participate in the business of our world if not this God. So, He's solely claiming right, praise, esteem for having been your keeper, watcher and sustainer. And let's be sincere, you ought acknowledge Him so. All of us who are well wishers ought acknowledge Him so in our lives too. Don't give - in any way; don't mistakenly give praise in any way to any one, thing or factor for having been responsible for your sustainance. They're not capable. Nothing is enough and has been given that ability to sustain man daily in this life. It is rather His Creator's to see to or cease from! Not any man's. Believe me. 

If you were living in Japan which has the highest life expectancy in the world, their government and welfare put together is far less to be given the credit of having sustained you when you sleep and then wakes up. No! It ain't any good government. So, I'll say none of us here, including my wife, the celebrant should make the mistake of ever u-turning praise and usurping God's glory by giving it to another standing or existing entity. I can tell you from having known God and His fear that that'll be the death of that entity in particular. Funny enough, God may spare the one who wrongly attributes the honour of sustainance to another but that other one (who the honour is being given to and who receives it without knowing God to attribute it to) shall die. To be acquitted before God and His host, let me quickly confess that though I am your husband, I am not the one and I have not been the one who has been sustaining you. If anybody is now here who will see it wise to claim God's gold of having being your sustainer (whether they be father, mother, sibling, boss, doctor, personal nurse, friend) etc, let them go ahead. However, I, Olusola ADEJUMO M'Wings have saved my own head. Heaven is my witness and all of you reading are.

You know one aged song that we used to sing in primary school occurs to me now. That song summarily briefs God's sustaining work over you. It says:

"Every day and every night

Angels are keeping watch over us

All day and all night

Angels are keeping watch over us".

It is this sustaining work the Lord did and persistently does as the years roll and turn and as the cycle continues that has made each and everyone of us here today to still be relating with you as a living soul. Let me quickly stop here to discharge the burden for prayer in my heart. I'm soaked with a particular burden for prayer. Say with me everyone: "may I not stop enjoying God's sustainance". There's no one who they say dies untimely that it's not because he lacks sustainance for that day. Sustainance is like daily bread that we gather from God. Each day's sustainance must be given us by Him. It's still give us today our daily bread.  That's what we live on. That's what we enjoy. So, I pray for you that you shall not stop knowing God's sustainance. You have known it today; you shall know it tomorrow and shall continually know it until it could be said of you that you discharge and serve the will of God in your generation and then sleeps (Acts 13:36).

What a thing that a man can go to bed and in the hope of being sustained make plans for tomorrow!

What are plans if not that the Lord sustains you? Plans can't execute themselves. They need the planner, a human being (who derives his breath (araulah) from God and also takes his being from God to give them meaning by execution. Just like we're useless without God and His daily sustainance, so are plans useless without us. They can't execute themselves. But I thank God for you that even when you sleep, you always wake up (and that's obviously because the Lord sustains you). We can't rob God of what He does. We have to give Him the works of His hands and let His work praise Him at the gate. 

Look at me people and all our well wishers. God wants to empower you. God is saying I should tell you that He wants to empower you and arm you against death. You may be curious, already at your chair's edge or on tip toe seeking to understand how God wants to do that.  That's praise worthy!

God says I should tell you that, "when you go, you will come. When you sleep; you will wake". He's saying He'll keep your to and fro (not only in real life journeys as the cycle of life goes) but even in your travels while asleep. Accidents do happen even in sleep-travels but God is saying, you'll always have safe journeys. He's assuring that He has given you the power to lay down and wake up and because He has given you that franchise or power to lay down and wake up, no one anywhere (including spirits) can gang up to say, 'no more fuel of sustainance for you". They just can't terminate you. Some passages of the Bible are flooding me now. 

One, a king stretched his hand against a prophet with a proclaimation to seize him. Immediately, the Bible records that hand withers and could not be retracted. 

1 Kings 13:4, KJV

"And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him".

Note, "so that he could not pull it again to himself". That's a big trouble and frustration that he couldn't bring back what he willingly sent and stretched out. Kai! I pray for you that you will not be denied the ability to take up what you have willingly laid down. When you sleep, I declare again and again, you shall always recover back to the land of the living.

The power word I want to use is the fact that "he stretched it out (he went, he slept) but he couldn't retract it back (return or wake to life again). Why? The ability to go (to sleep) was exercised freely by him but the more or greater power to return (wake up as fit our discussion) was denied him. 

On this note, I am proclaming upon you that you shall be granted daily and as at now you have been granted by God the ability not only to LAY IT DOWN but to TAKE IT UP.

Jesus while speaking to His disciples also secretly addresses death (though not present with them there) not to glory over Him at all. He said it as a pro and one with heaven's revelation. He knows of a surety that no one could cut His life short since the FATHER has not given it to them. So, He tells death (knowing He'll also soon have to lay it down - die)  to keep shut and watch it because... He has been given the right to lay it down and then pick it up. Of Himself, He exercises control over His very life. What a thing! Don't you like that franchise? Won't you like God to give you that?

John 10:17-18, KJV

"17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father".

Look at trouble staring at us (lol). Jesus says He has power to lay it down and to take it again. That's the power that other king lacked. That's the same power God is giving you today.

The power to go and come even in your sleep-journeys and outings. You can't be killed. Because of a surety, you must live on. You must go and come; sleep and wake. You have the power now but however you can give yourself away. You're the only one who can give yourself away. Watch your mouth people! And let me tell you, laying it down is not as important as picking it up indeed. Going is not as important as returning. Stretching is lesser than retracting. So, it's not important that you sleep or journey, you must wake and always return.

I told you Jesus spoke as a pro. He knows definitive things about Himself. Imagine Him saying, "no man can take His life..." and then concluding with, "this commandment I have received of My Father". Eeeh! Imagine God signing a contract with you that no one could kill you! It means God, the Father fully gave the exercising of right to Jesus on His own life. What a thing! He has the power to lay it down and then take it up. May that power prove for you on daily basis.

On this basis, I say thank God for being your sustainer on daily basis as you sleep, wake, grow, glow and go. 

Meanwhile, "I sleep and wake up" as used in that Psalm also is used to denote our day in, day out living and how it has been the Lord who has been sustaining us in that to and fro living, journey, repeated cycle and repeated habit of our life. 

May the God of yesterday (who sustained you) prove Himself as the God of days to come(that you yet haven't seen). Do you know my prayer for you dear? It's that you'll have the testimony of David. What was his testimony?

1 Samuel 17:37

"David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me from the paw of the lion, and from the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee".

David acknowledged that the God of ages past in his life is as well and will be the God of years to come. That's your testimony. You've seen today (because the Lord sustains you), you'll see tomorrow (because He'll yet sustain you). You'll be able to look back in retrospect and summon assurance to defy the future, its posers and challenges and gory over it all in victory. Look, you have seen tomorrow. That commandment you have also received of your Father!

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - 29/07/2023

SATURDAY- 29TH JULY, 2023

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

MARKING OUR COMMANDED

READ Gen. 24

Genesis 24:7, KJV

"The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence".

There's another miracle that's mostly found or attached to finding it so (where you're given a description and you go but to meet it so). That other one is the miracle of commanding or putting men under command for your sake. I have taught this previously in a series but it's coming anew. 

I have loads of reasons not to doubt an inch that before the arrival of that servant of Abraham, God had to kneel Rebekah on her knees to receive Isaac. One of the things that amazes me is prophecy and consequently its manifestation and how God can start drawing a line here and connect it to another there. God can raise a man here and raise another there and make both cross path together. Shockingly, they may not have met and may even differ in race, tongue or tribe. It's the Lord's doing and it's always marvellous in our sights. We have rolls of testimonies upon testimonies on how God led or guided A to B yet B was not in unawareness of the fact that A would come. That's the God of prophecy. He's the only One who could draw an angle on a straight line in this manner. He gives A a word and He confirms same to B so that there'll be agreement when they both meet. Believe Him!

Abraham told his servant from the confidence of having walked and tarried with God that God's angel will go before him and help him in choosing rightly for Isaac. At the well, the fact that leading and guidance are not scam or fraud turns me from the inside out. That servant stood by the well that day and prayed. 

Genesis 24:12-15, KJV

"12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder".

Imagine brethren! That place says, "before he was done praying", behold Rebekah came out. Where was she hiding before? Everything looks as if it was planned, arranged and automated right? It can't but look like that and that's because something divine is now working and walking with this man who has gone to find a wife for Isaac. When God is with you, such is the destiny meet you'll have and experience. What Abraham said that an angel will go before him in reality is true. The manifestation of an angel having gone before him is what we are witnessing now. Despite the fact that he leaned the choice of who he wants Isaac's wife to be to the woman who will give him a drink and then water his camels (a very hard one), yet it was the right, chosen and ordained one that came. It's the one he'll be happy to go back with for his master that came. It is the daughter of Bethuel, a relative who shows up and not one who's not of the kindred of Abraham and so will be unfit according to the afore stated requirement (Gen.24:4). How well believers must know they must not be unequally yoked! Rather, we marry our kindreds in faith. 

What sort of life is this? A miraculous life. This man didn't stoop low. He lifted his bargain higher. He inflated the price on who to Isaac's wife will be. He didn't stop at she who will give him a drink but she who will water his camels also. Ten camels for Christ's sake! I agree with giving a man a drink. He won't even finish a gallon but what about 10 solid camels who had journeyed and of surety are thirsty. I'm sure those camels have even used up most of the storage of fat and energy in their hump and now they're all craving for replenishment. Who is that born well lady except one under command from the Lord (chosen and ordained) who will agree to such demand when there's no prize obviously at sight. Nobody! I am sure. Except she that God has commanded and appointed. The fact that such has been commanded or secretly afore spoken to by God is revealed in how without argument, they are prepared to do hard things for your sake. It is only a request from Abraham's servant to Rebekah that got the job down. She agrees to give him a drink and then volunteers to give his camels. 

Genesis 24:17-19, KJV

"17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking".

Mind you, though this servant prayed to God that service would be extended to his camels by that chosen fellow yet he didn't request that of Rebekah specifically. It was Rebekah who volunteered herself for that. What else proves she's under God's command and is an answer to Abraham's desire for Isaac?

Imagine a man adopt a child and gives him the best just like he's giving his biological children, so much more that differences couldn't be read between them. That man even if he didn't hear any audible voice was softened or spoken to by the Lord and put under such obligation. This is why I don't worry. This is why I don't turn to all persons for help. I only go to those commanded for my sake. I only pray to be led or guided to them. Even if you make overwhelming demands on them (not because of covetousness) but in order to prove God who has sent you to them, you'll see them rise to meet it. Look at how God met the need of Abraham's son. As if Abraham knew it, he had said God's angel would go ahead of them to make the journey prosperous and so it is. Rebekah so much comes under God's spell and command that she wouldn't even agree with her brethren to tarry some days before departure. While they were advocating for her, she rather refused and chose to go immediately with a total stranger (Gen.24:57-58). Now, I'll say irrespective of where you are, live or stay, God can send you to who to marry, befriend (as in normal friendship) or to submit to (as in father-son relationship). I want the relationship I have with people be the type that's ordained of God and not the type that people choose friends based on perceived reasons. I want to be ignorant of a fellow yet finding God knitting my heart with his and vice versa. This is how  Markson Etta Lane Timothy Benson (Missionary to the Cameroon and Calabar) and I met in Nigeria Christian Corpers' Fellowship in Kastina. It began as a relationship of a father to a son. I coached him in the things of God. I just observed that he admires me though older than I. Something about me (the anointing I sure know) attracts him and so he sticks to me. Even other corp members would fondly call me Elijah and call him Elisha. On this note, he opens to all I have to say and so I was able to instruct him in much. Not knowing he'll even go into ministry later, I told him of Zacharias Tanee Fomum of Cameroon who has the ministry of mission, fasting and praying. Just in a year, this young man found himself in that ministry and has been there since then. But today, our relationship has sweetly evolved. We are now friends. He's my covenant friend and brother. He's one of the few on earth's surface who could call me now and I'll exercise myself for and vice versa. 

People of God, the message I bring to you is that of destiny, destination and the ordainment of paths. It ain't joke. It works like fire when God is involved. You'll meet yours. The patronage Spirit of our tribe - the Christian tribe shall ensure you meet your Rebekah for marriage, business, friendship, fathering etc in the name of Jesus. Whenever you meet the commanded, they're always under command - ready to do God's bidding even if they don't look commanded. Markson is the least I physically observed to open up to me and I'm too lean and physically deprived in stature to have been esteemed a prophet. However, we collided, we met; deep called unto deep and so we remain. To this end, I say HALLELUJAH! Let God work out relationships for you or else they'll be those of sorrow and pain to you. The God who spoke through Abraham that an angel would go ahead in choosing a wife for Isaac is He who must have secretly persuaded Rebekah of acceptance of an Isaac that she has never seen before. Whatsoever God does is straight. Don't add to His work lest He rebukes you and don't remove from His act lest you're proven a liar. Apart from prophecy being made manifest (like the servant met Abraham's words so), your path shall cross with the commanded. Those who will stick closer than a brother. Those who could risk all for you. Those who will submit in surrenderness and say, "I am the handmaiden of the Lord. Be it unto me according to Your (God's) word". Such are always Mary in obedience. 

PRAYER: Father, ordain my path with those critical to my destiny. I become Mary at heart and in obedience. Kneel people for me.

COUNT IT ALL JOY by Olusola ADEJUMO M'Wings

COUNT IT ALL JOY

Wayfarer!

Count it all joy

When only thou is found to push the boat into the water;

When only thou rolls the boat with your strength

Seeking its stability and sure arrival

But all fingers say that's a man who's alone.

Take ease and count it all joy.


Be appropriate with it seafarer

When your ship now afloat is what all mankind joins

Becoming pregnant with people is much diversities to be faced

You must carry them all like a father

And bear them all like a mother


You must endure them like Moses

And bring them water from the hard rock

In all these I pray for you

May no bone of yours be ever broken


Count it all joy O sought out!

If the things of life you're not always availed

If your blanket be torn and your shoes worn out

Be comforted of being His to see or cease


Count it all joy if your good is evil spoken of

And men evil entreat you


Weep no more 

You're sharers in the prophets' fate and reward


Count it all joy if at the hour of temptation

'tis then only your salvation appears as a beacon of light

Heralding itself with no hampering

And staying on your very roof


That's the Lord's doing that suffices us

Verily marvellous is it in our sight

CALLING DIFFERS FROM CALLING

THOSE WHO DECIPHER WILL DO WELL

Look, it is not pride but truth well spoken. While it is truth well spoken, it's not to affirm some people and buffet or derogate others. Far be it from us and we from that!

However in truth, we know that:

"Calling differs from calling. The call to be a FOUNDER is different from the call to be an ASSOCIATE. The call to START something is different from the call to JOIN something. 

If that be, I'll say again that, "faith differs from faith. The faith to start something isn't the same faith it takes to join something. What is started is hard to push to work but what is joined is already working. You only enter into its rest. Also, while one gives immediate yield, the other only holds the promise of yielding if ever followed through".

If this be, do permit me to say, "suffering differs from suffering also. The suffering of a founder and his hardship is not the suffering and sacrifice of an associate. On this note, I can say their jealousy and protection of the works will be different also. While one may play the shepherd and give his life for the sheep, the other may play the hireling (who sees the wolves coming but flees).

If that be, their rewards and honour can't but be different also. 

Please, don't debate it.

WHAT WILL USE YOUR TIME?

WHAT WILL USE YOUR TIME?

May problems not use our time. Two things will use your time.  Problems or your calling. The initiative of Satan and his attack on mankind is to ensure it is problems that use our time. He will keep you busy in the wrong things but which are necessary for human survival on earth. 

He'll keep you busy searching for greener pastures and seeking for food. If this is all you ever use your time and life to pursue, problems have successfully used your time.

I found out that problems will never finish. The hunt for food, clothing and shelter will continue to maraud the heart of mankind. As a matter of fact, that's why mankind cheat, embezzle or even kill. But life is more than raiment. Jesus said that. He said we should look beyond this ephemeral pursuit.

If all we ever live for is what to eat or what to wear, where will our definitive purpose or the calling put in our soul be? Humanity is not ordinary. God sent us here to live the God ordained life. The life we live and the steps we carry ought to be documented ones as already slated by God. But, is that so?

You may pursue food - what to eat and what to wear until you're utmostly entangled and your time is gone. What all of us have is time. The more I celebrate new birthdays, the more I scrutinize if I'm at all fulfilled. I just found out there are more grounds to cover yet it seems to my own sight (not faith) that only little time is left. I'm talking of time of usefulness on earth. 

The Lord told me this evening that the wise are those who know where they should be and contrary to any opposition or want goes there to thrive and begin to survive.

As a matter of fact, I count you blessed and happy as God does if contrary to what the economy, parents, peers and other influences are saying you could go into your definitive purpose, calling or passion. 

The conspiracy of the devil and life will be that you don't fulfill your passion and calling. It may be burning in you and beckoning you to come but if you never walk that road, you can never, will never know real joy or satisfaction.

Many of us are on the wrong jobs. We know because we have no joy doing them or let's say our joy are mist like. It appears in the morning and dissipates in the evening. That can't be your calling. 

Calling is passion. You don't close from passion. Even if you close from work at 5pm daily, if that job is what you're crafted to be in, work will still continue at home. Those who are in a dead end are those praying that closing time will soon strike. They are those seeking for unnecessary holidays and vacations. A man of the calling doesn't vacate and he's the one who actually lives longer. That's because of the energy influence generated to keep him going, desiring life and more from life. They are the strong willed ones and their decision to continue always lead to a release of permission to stay, stay and stay longer. 

I have not found anything else as replenishing, renewing, energizing, rewarding as following one's passion. 

You see, the problem many are facing now is how to go and face their passion (which calling is). But the question is how will they survive starting from the bottom again? This is somebody who has been earning #450,000 that God is calling into full time ministry in the Nigeria of today.

He has heard God but responsibility and the large appetite he has cultivated over the years is now slaughtering him. The wife is saying, "who will pay the school fees and who will pay the house rent? What will my family say?" Many people be like that. They find to go eventually into their calling and passion a big problem. 

Those people know their calling but TO GO is the problem. Over and over, you will see unfulfillment written all over them. A vision has been caught surely. She wants to set up a Fashion Outfit but she's afraid of how it might turn.

If you'll either have faith enough or be crazy enough to dare it, only then will you see the salvation of the Lord!

Unless you're in this position, you'll think it's easy just detaching and following after your passion like that. If that were so, many people won't still be there waiting for the right time. And I tell you, that right time might not come. You do not have all day. Your brand, content and ministry must be touched but it all begins with starting even before we discuss DILIGENCE and present to you COMMITMENT.

Permit me to address ministers now. Let's say you're such man who earns that much like I stated earlier, nothing is wrong if for the purpose of the new passion you need to follow you cut down your expenses. 

I'm not seeing any mockery in that and I care less if I'm mocked over that. It is what I can do I will do. If your children are in money collecting private schools, it is no reproach if you relocate them to less expensive ones. This applies to ministers who are especially founders and are starting out and do not want to be reputed for borrowing as time goes on. Ministry at the on start is not always interesting especially if you're not a paid minister. 

However, you have another option. If you have proven God over the years before crossing over to full time ministry and you personally know He's the same as He's always been, then you may become the brutal one who by the handle of faith knows God will meet all your needs. David said the God who gives him victory over the paws of the lion and the bear would give him over that uncircumcised Philistine as well. 

But first of all, that was no mere confession. It's coming from a man who has been on the journey. A man who has experienced it all and who could call God faithful! That's because he has over time experienced him to be faithful. 

Nothing promises real adventure and liberty than pursuing passion or purpose.

When you're in the wrong place, on the wrong job or in the wrong field, you're always like a man that's shut in a place with little or no air to breathe. You'll feel you're dying and that you need a saving but somehow someway, you just don't know how to escape or let's say, you're not courageous enough to escape. I'll say, call the call and stop the stop.

I want to be on a job, in a work and in a sphere where problems are motivation to rush to the next day's work. 

A place I could see as my world, the sphere of light where I gain practical experience that I may not even be able to verbalize or communicate. However, I know I have inner joy, energy, contentment and approval of God. 

When you've missed it, you surely know. Fat salary is not always a sign of fulfilment.

I know people who are leaving the public view, fat salaries, notable sites to relocate to lesser esteemed ones to start dancing to the tune of their souls - their callings. 

Brothers and sisters, men and brethren, this is no joke. Stop the pursuit of food (only). Leave that and cross to the sole pursuit of purpose. It may be hard to fend there but lean your life to what it avails you. Let your wife adjust to that. Don't be ashamed. If you are, endure the suffering. Walk this less travelled road as highlighted by the iconic poem of Robert Frost (The Road Not Taken, 1916) and you'll have the testimony of having chosen differently and rewardingly one day.

I pray for you all, God shall indeed be your exceeding great reward! It will be something more than gold for you all at the end of it all. Believe in God and Believe in yourself!

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

GOING AND MEETING IT SO

Luke 2:10-12 KJV

"10 And the angel said unto them...11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger".

Yesterday, I told you that the life I want to live is the life that predicts it and then have same prediction. Thoughts of welfare have been verbalized concerning each of us. They've gone into our future but we can meet with them and live according to their dictates. Abraham, the father of faith himself told the head of his house that, "the Lord God of heaven who took him from his father's house...shall send His angel before him..." In this manner, that servant of Abraham was assured. He went and he met it so. Everything played out for his good in a foreign land. At the gate, he met a woman prepared and ordained by the Lord for Isaac who will not care less but care for him and even the ten camels! He raised the standard high to test the authenticity of God being involved, yet he met someone who will still be willing to fulfill such a hard requirement of giving him drink and then his camels. What a word that has come to pass! To this end, he bowed and worshipped God who has done unto him as Abraham had said. The angel Abraham talked about who would go before him was to arrange things for him and make all impossibilities become possibilities to him. What a glorious God! I'm in awe of you! Lord God, this is the life I want to live. The life that sees predictions being fulfilled for good in his sight. The life that doesn't become less of what God has said. The life that coincident and hit on what has been said - all for good. May we not miss the mark!

Meanwhile, the Spirit of God wants to express some further things. An angel of God appeared to some shepherds, breaking the news of Jesus' birth to them and telling them as a sign, He would be found in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes.  Notwithstanding, they endeavour to journey to see. Upon arrival however, they found it to be true. 

Luke 2:16, KJV

"And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger".

According to the delivery angel's word, the babe would be found in a manger. At their arrival, it was so. This is not coincidence. It is God's arrangement to fulfill and meet what was said. If not, such major detail about how Jesus would be found could have changed before their arrival. Will it take a minute to take Jesus out of the manger and put Him somewhere else? However, when God was speaking through that angel, it's the conclusion of the event God was uttering. He has seen it and now He declares it. We haven't seen it and that's why it behooves us. However, before it happens in the realm where we could experience it, God declares it to us that we might praise Him for His greatness. No wonder, one of the things those shepherds later celebrated was what they heard that angel told them which they eventually met so. It's amazing and they couldn't keep it. 

Luke 2:20, KJV

"And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them".

Brethren, God is not a liar. He is not even the son of man that He should change His mind. What has He spoken to you as promise? You will find it so. The difference between "here" and "there" of fulfilment of what He has said is "t" denoting time. By time when you make arrival, you shall witness all those things having come to pass. You'll be so much gripped in you that you'll shout, "this is the Lord's doing" and it's marvellous in our sight. It always commands attention when it is the sole work done by the Lord. Wait for it. It shall speak. That promise shall speak. Even though it tarries now, it shall seek fulfilment because it's a word on errand. 

PRAYER: Lord, all words of welfare that have gone ahead of me, I receive their fulfilment live.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

DIVINE FORERUNNERS ARE BEFORE YOU

READ Gen.24:1-20

Genesis 24:6-7, KJV

"6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. 7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou  shalt take a wife unto my son from thence".

Do you know what confidence Abraham has before saying the above? Do you? Look, it is the confidence coming from having walked with God. This man's statement reveals that He has learnt God and knows what He's reputed for. Read the verse for the day again and see that truth hidden in every pieces of the writing. 

First, it's, "...the Lord God of heaven which took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred..."

Abraham is saying, "I am the called or the called out". See, you may not know how hard it is stepping out or being called out of your security until God calls you out. Some people are guided out of their security but I'm talking of being led out of your security. When you thus hear God saying, "intentionally pack your loads and leave" and not you finding yourself by chance somewhere but which later becomes your God given Rehoboth, you'll understand the full import of being called. So, the first reference of Abraham goes to if He calls me out as a nobody and takes me on such a journey that makes somebody of me; then, I can trust Him. 

The second to consider is, "and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land..."

God not only called him out but he has been beloved and has experienced God's special love. He believes in the God who swears He'll give birth (at an impossible age) yet He did. He's fully trusting in that God who has made the promise of giving him such land to look for means of perpetuating it in the hands of his down-lines. On that note, Abraham believes this last part of God sending an angel before them will be possible.

Look at me, the kind of life I want to live is "the Lord's doing". So far, I know that's what can be "marvellous" in the sight of all. Abraham didn't speak like a newbie when he said assuredly that God would send an angel before his servant. He speaks out of having walked and experienced God for years. He has seen indeed that God does not fail. A thousand of them may disappoint but God does not fail. On this note, boldly and assuredly, he says, God - who did all we have recounted and analysed to him can't but care again by sending his angel ahead of them in order to jealous for him (Abraham). I pray for you that on occasions that things will concern you, God will send His angels ahead of you and release resources for your sake. Abraham is not doubtful of heaven releasing their resources for his sake. Though it's his son who wants to marry yet it is clear that's Abraham's need. Do you know what I'm seeing there? Your God will not only protect and jealous for you, it will for your down-lines. All your labour of love shall be remembered and they can be reaped by extension by your down-lines. Also, I'm seeing another truth there. Patronage spirits (Holy Spirit or satanic) over families and ancestries always involve themselves in the marital choice of those they are to watch over. Abraham has a covenant with God and that hands Himself and all that'll ever proceed from Him to God. Even when an Israelite or a Jew is misbehaving, God for Abraham's sake can be merciful on him. The truth is how much more if we're in Christ and have the new covenant? In that passage we read, the angel that'll go before that servant is a messenger and part of the resources of God that Abraham cut a covenant and is in a relationship with. In essence, Abraham has done one thing. It is, "how can God forsake me when He has patronage and obligation over my family? He will go before you therefore". If you're born again, all heaven's resources are at your disposal. Be assured of that like Abraham assuredly told his servant. God won't watch. He'll go before you and prosper your journey. Even before you get there, He'll take thought for you. He'll make all the necessary arrangements. Things will fall into their spaces. You will meet it so". 

Indeed, this servant travelled. At arrival at the gate of the city, he prayed that God would prosper his journey and remember His servant, Abraham and then he gave out some demands. Unlike Abraham who's a serious believer and who works in faith, this servant though walking in faith, does in a lesser dimension. Any who asks for signs is either faithless or of little faith. Shockingly, all those were met. Divinely coincidental and fitting time, Rebekah was sure aroused to go to the well. To test the reality of God sending an angel before him and the reality of all the signs he listed being fulfilled, Rebekah didn't object to giving him a drink and then giving his ten camels. 

You see, if God was not in this thing, it wouldn't have worked. I don't know that humble lady that'll give you a drink and then give to ten camels! A camel drinks at least 15 gallons of water. It means those camels at least drank 150 gallons of water. Yet, the Bible says, "until they have finished drinking" (24:19). Of a surety, God must have secretly commanded Rebekah and made her vulnerable to those wishes, prophecy of Abraham and prayer of his servant. Rebekah therefore becomes like the commanded widow of Zarephath that God put under command (oath of a kind) for the sake of Elijah. I pray for you that men shall come under command for you. Where you need help and you're on tip toe for it, it shall be as you desire. Help shall be availed you beyond normal. You won't only drink but you'll receive a helper who'll go the extra mile of taking thought for your extra luggages. Those of you single mothers who want to remarry. This is your time. The Lord is here. I say, receive the man who will give you drink and take complete thought for the number you'll bring." 

Brethren, look at me, the Spirit of prophecy is my witness. God do send angels before people. I call them "sweepers" or let's say, "forerunners". They'll make your way before you prosperous. I left home for higher education at age 17. I sure believe angels went before me because my way was prosperous. Yet, there's something special about age 17 because that's the age Joseph fed the flocks with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah (Gen.37:2). Today, the future you don't see shall be settled because angels shall go before you. Abraham predicted it and though no physical angel appeared or was spoken about in that passage, yet we have reasons to believe an angel went to put things on ground for Abraham's sake. God will be jealous for you for Jesus' sake. Angels will go before you. You'll meet it so. The life I want to live is the type that tells people, "go and you'll see and witness this and that" and which will meet it that way. No wonder that servant bowed and worshipped God having seen how he was guided to the house of his master's kindred (Gen. 24:27). You'll also be led and guided. You won't journey all alone. You'll go in the right path and meet the appointed person. 

PRAYER: Lord, send an angel ahead me to always prepare my way before me.

SITED BY HELP AND HELPED OVER DELAY

Read Genesis 37:13-22

Genesis 37:15, KJV

"And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

Brethren, are you there this morning? What you must know and believe firmly is that once one phase is ending in your life, God will supremely kick-start another for you. One phase of life always leads to the other. You won't get stuck. You must progress. Today, my Father, the Lord God is dispelling darkness on your path. You'll be set on motion until you can have the testimony of safe arrival. 

Joseph must reach. He must go on the journey of destiny. If the sheaf he saw standing up and bowed to will ever become a reality, then Joseph must be guided to Egypt. He himself didn't appreciate being sold. If his opinion was sought, he wouldn't want to go. But for his overall best, he must go. He may not know the details but no one is ever guided who doesn't testify later to God's goodness when they see where and to what profit they've been guided to. No wonder, Joseph confesses that his brothers intended it for evil but God intends it for good. He was even comforting them not to be grieved (Gen.50:20).

On an occasion, Jacob sent Joseph to go and check on the welfare of his brothers. He got to Sheckem but he couldn't locate them. Joseph begins to wander around and he could have continued long in that but for the timely intervention of a man who asked him what he wanted. Confessing to the stranger, he receives the necessary arm up he needs. He takes a journey therefore to Dothan where the man hinted they've gone. Sure enough, Joseph found them in Dothan. 

The burden God is expressing is simple. God doesn't want you lost in life and in your find. I found out that the confusion that'll happen in a day if all sign posts, house numbers, street names etc were wiped off would be much without exaggeration. God wants you locate early. If you set out on any occasion, God wants you to arrive and arrive faster. It is a curse merry-go-rounding in the field without meeting the objective of launching out initially. But you can have the confession of Jacob to his father. When Isaac asked him how fast he could get the game he demanded for, he said one thing that is always the manifestation of any God is with and is being helped by Him. 

Genesis 27:20, KJV

"And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me".

Mark that, "because the Lord thy God brought it to me". Anyway, we all know he lied. It was a home fetched kid he prepared but that confession may be your own reality. It is what God will use to save time for you. While the Esaus are still in the field sweating it out, seeking game and seeking to comprehend their profession, God will bring you into a ready made rest. You will just fetch yours easily. When others are taking long to find resources, yours will be faster and so your time, years and life will be saved. God can actually bring it to you. God availed Joseph this man who saved his time. So, God can bring men and all resources you need to you. You may labour but it won't be absorbingly painstaking labour. Part of the work would have been done for you. The process would have been hastened for you. This happens when you receive gifts, blessings, mercy and become a host of unmerited favour. You simply become the 'lucky one' as popularly identified by everybody. 

To redeem time for you so that you won't continue to engage in vain labour, God will site men at certain junctures of your life so that you might be saved from wasted effort. That man found Joseph wandering. I won't call him an angel but that man is God's special help to Joseph in locating his brothers and then on time. Assuredly, Joseph couldn't have known where the brothers have left to and if he had guessed since he's also a shepherd like they are, it would take long before he ever arrives at their specific location. He would have engaged in wasted journeys and effort in going to places he would believe they might be but only to be frustrated without meeting them. However, Joseph met a help at hand. As he got to Sheckem and was wandering and wondering where they could be, a prepared help shows up in the field for him. The question was, "what do you seek?" May you meet men who will ask you same. Only those vessels will be jealous for your sake and good. 

Genesis 37:15, KJV

"15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan".

I pray for you, you'll meet with the next you're looking for. You'll not be stranded. God will fix men for you at a juncture and outlet leading to another. Your wandering ends today. You will take the next transport and go on in life. Where you've been halted at a level, I have your released in Jesus' name. This man's information is what furthers Joseph into ever travelling to Egypt, his land of destiny. His successful arrival in Dothan is what kick-starts in his brothers the plan to kill or later to sell him. For sure, a phase and full cycle has been completed over Joseph. He must now travel towards his birthing of destiny. God is the one who sovereignly watches over the phases that unfold in our lives. When the appointed time comes, He'll supremely work but as you cooperate with Him to bring you into your next phase and experience. God will facilitate you. At junctures that matter, He will site men who will be useful to sponsoring you further into your next stage. This act of God is done so that you're not stranded but easily helped over delay. It may be someone to sponsor your education or adopt you for that time. God will just find a way for you . Your journey won't be cancelled. Your own flight to destination will also take off. Anything that'll maraud it will be terminated. God will set you on the road you should work. You'll hear a voice behind you saying, "herein is the way, walk ye in it". You're saved from confusion as to which choice of path to take. When you are, God shall enlighten your darkness and by His sovereign will order you to destination in His guidance. I pray over you, you will find a man in the field. A vessel that'll save you from wandering in this life and in this time. So, you'll enjoy accelerated journey and arrival. 

PRAYER: I have accelerated journey and I enjoy early arrival. My hands fetch it easily. It always comes to me.

A TIME TO EVERYTHING

READ Ecclesiastes 3

Ecclesiastes 3:1, KJV

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven":

Look at God's word. How sweet it is? Ecclesiastes 3 opens with, "to everything there's a season and a time to every purpose or intent under the heaven". If to everything there's a season, then it means to say, each of those things designated for their specific season could only thrive and flourish in their specific season only. Take a look at what we plant. Due to the climate or weather condition, coupled with what sort of season we are in: probably of moderate rainfall, heavy rainfall, little rainfall, dry season etc, all determine what we choose to plant in them. And for each season, there are researched and already found out seeds/plants that'll survive in them. However, if you want to witness the power of season or test it, plant in a season what is not meant for that season. Even if it ever survives, you'll see that the yield would be little. Why? A specific season has ability to facilitate or hinder growth. There's a natural and supernatural help God Himself gives to humans to rise in achievement, calling or mandate when they're in their ordained seasons. In your season, you yield your increase and strength. It is your bounty you give and not otherwise. 

It's this law of season which the Lord knows to be correct that He is trying to create a reversal for when He says in Psalms 92:14  that, "they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing". Let's ask, is that possible? Yes. But does it happen to all men? No! Only those who believe in it enough and worked in it. Some aged people are still yielding their youths or strength though already old. They're still preaching, teaching, writing, counselling, advising, winning souls, and parenting but some could be all together hindered even by sickness or an immediate terminal death. 

While to everything there's a season (season is the garment sewn for everything to fit or fall into); there's time for every purpose under the heaven. "Under the heaven" means on earth or in this earth realm where humans live. Time is what is given to purposes and intents. The garment fitly sewn for purposes is time. Every purpose or intention needs to be fitted into the hole of their time: a specific time of operation. That's why Jesus couldn't do anything until His hour came in John 2. When it did, look at the instruction He gave them (John 2:7-8). 

He immediately knew what to do. He was not short of words. It came as a spree with powerful grace irresistible. Why? The time to make provision abound has come. Provision will multiply but first at its time. Time is what you're given to do every purpose on earth. Now, first your 24 hours but more importantly a revelatory time when you can assuredly gather that God is ordaining you to carry some steps. Such moments don't fail. That's why we have a record about the sons of Isaachar who understand and know what Israel ought to do per time (I Chro.12:32). That's what I'm talking about. Knowing when to act or implement something. Knowing this is its time unfailingly. Such deciphered time always come with their own imparted grace and loaded benefits ready to help you but only if you'll move and enter into that time first of all. Let me describe what this time for every purpose is clearly again. 

Let us say you're in a field of much wind and there a portal opens with a ringed mouth and a hollow inside but ready to carry you in a jiffy and with a great whirlwind speed into heaven. However, there may be a condition  which is unless you take it (by entering into it), it can't carry you nor will you arrive at your destination. You may desire being carried on a journey but if the vehicle or opportunity for such journey avails itself and you refuse to take it, you shall not amount to anything though with all the grace and help brought you that hour to leverage and get to heaven. That's why that place says, "and a time to every purpose on earth". There's a time for every purpose. If you have hundred things planned out, if you're a man of the Spirit yet with good sense, you can say with me that all will take its time to fulfill. That's what God does not want you to miss. He doesn't want you to make the mistake of piling too much on your faith at once. Look at me, it's God's intention to give you rest also while maintaining speed. If you'll find the time for each purpose and decipher the season where that thing could flourish or be appropriately done, you shall be the noblest and blessed amidst men. You will clap God and worship Him for having led you, guided you and tutored you towards patience to take each thing at their time. When you do a thing at its time, all the benefits you should derive from that thing done at its season or time would be given out to you. You'll see all appear to you one by one and you'll be full of awe at God's blessings. Look, it'll always be more than your expectation or calculation. That's the truth. Everything is only fitting at their times. Find the time for that thing. Let it loose only in its granted, given and blessed season. That's when it can grow and it won't become stunted - an image of mockery. Anything that people don't do in its time is what struggles or thrives to survive and that's because it has many hindrances surrounding it. How interesting it would be if it's after being a mother you say you want to go to school? Yes, you can. You may even finish eventually but your testimony will be that of struggle. You won't be that free to face academics and that'll be because you missed time. You could have read without baggages as a single where all your time would be for you but what have you done to yourself?  You misprioritized purposes. Your scale of preference is faulty. Your arrangements are wrong and didn't follow suitably. That's why you're always getting late to the lecture room. That's why you're the one always borrowing notes to copy. You don't even have time for research as a family man again. Why? The thought of bread on the table is what is choking you. I can therefore assure you that if by your own doing, you let a purpose or an intention in your life miss their time of grace (where they could be done smoothly), you'll pay for it and even if you survive it, it'll be by much blood, struggling and hardships. Find time and discharge purposes in them. 

PRAYER: Lord, give me the knowing of times and what they're meant for. Grip my spirit with a purpose when its time comes.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

NOW IS THE TIME!

Read John 2:1-8

John 2:3-4, KJV

"3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come".

"Hour" here is best interpreted as, "time". So, it should read like this: "mine time has not yet come". Not that it's literally speaking of sixty minutes that make one hour where a definite event must happen. While that could possibly be anyways yet in its true sense, "hour" there is "time" and it means my moment or time of operation has not yet come. 

From Jesus' confession here, we have a glimpse into knowing there's a time to move and a time to refrain. Mary has good intention but she misses divine timing. Surely she must have contacted the outworking of God at home through Jesus which is why she's bold to make such recommendation to the disciples that whatsoever Jesus asks them to do, they should do (John 2:5).

Meanwhile, Mary came too early. Her coming too early made her miss divine timing. Jesus will work. He as well knows their need but one thing is just not right. After proper scanning and deciphering, Jesus could arrive at the one thing that was not right and that's his hour of operation that has not yet come. He wants to work but He's being restricted because He has not yet come into his hour or time of operation. 

Probably I should explain using these instances. If you've learnt some things about William Branham, one of it would be that he may not be able to minister unless his angel first comes. This is no joke. William Branham is one of the accurate prophets who ever lived but this man always experience hindrance in that he would not know what to say or do unless his angel arrives. Once the angel comes (which even the audience would feel), astounding prophecies and miracles would be wrought through this earthen vessel. But until then, he's like any other human being. Even if he moves, nothing will move and that's because his hour, his time, the moment he must seize and be carried has not yet come. 

If you ask me how I author the devotional, I'll tell you it's by inspiration and that's no lie. What I hear is what I write. However, once the sensation, feeling, burden and pressing to write comes, I must understand that this is my hour to teach. So, I could remain locked up for hours and even half a day (the longest I had gone) just writing. At that time, grace, anointing and all the necessary resources needed to write is being facilitated me. So, when Jesus told the mum, "mummy, do we have business together? Mine hour has not yet come!" Jesus was doing two things at the same time. He was addressing the hurried and hasty nature of his mother. He's trying to help mummy learn how to wait until it's God's time of operation. That was not an insult. Mary was not offended anyway but hasty spirit or nature must be dealt with in you if you'll ever be used by God. Unless He's moving, you don't move. If you do, you'll be like Samson in operation who found out how simple a man could be when he's not divinely aided by God's Spirit again. However, when the hour comes, Jesus didn't have to make another announcement shouting, "my hour has come" or in William Branham's word, "my angel has come" or in my word, "my anointing has come". No! Rather, He gives instruction. Since it's time, things will happen (as if of themselves) though we know it's by God's involvement. At the arrival of that hour and time of occurrence when that miracle will fit time, season and then meet needs, water must of a fact turn to wine. It may be water but it'll be praised by anyone who tastes it as wine. That's what happens when your hour, your angel or your anointing has come. Effortlessly, you'll do the special. Mountains become levelled. Tarrying before God without eating becomes easier. Something of God will just wrap you over, delight you and suspend all other cares. That's because of the time you're in. 

When your time comes, gates and doors will crack open of their own accord. Let me include that ancient doors that your predecessors knocked until they died at its feet shall of its own accord flee and rush to open. It shall see you and fear. That would be because you're keeping your divine hour (a moment God is at work for, in, through you). A slated moment when all life's events must gather together to work for your good. 

Mine hour has not come. How golden those words are to me? So that I'll know when to enter and when to go out. All activities are timed and slated. When no pot must be filled, He refrained. Jesus had nothing to prove. He didn't say, I'll show you I have the money to travel abroad and the next thing is 'peew'. He didn't. He didn't say they were testing Him. He rather discord with missing time to saying, "when my time comes, I shall do as you're suggesting". But it will only be until then. You, receive light to see your hour has not come. Or else, you'll go with the wrong man. But if you'll be comforted that this blessing, opportunity and goodies they're flashing isn't yours to take, you'll easily let go of it. If Jesus does a miracle there and then at that request, it would be His honour and to God's glory but He'll have successfully breached His timing and would have for once be in disobedience but he resisted and conquered hastiness by saying, "mine hour has not yet come". As you are, quickly open to Ecclesiastes 3 to read about the types of time that be. It'll do something to your spirit. It'll make you sensitive to what time you're in. You'll be able to decipher when and when not. Those two are unanswered questions in our world today. "When and when not!" May the Spirit of right time, it is time, or it is not time rest on you. 

PRAYER: I receive understanding and perception for operation at mine hour. I won't miss my time, its grace, angel and anointing.

DIVINE COINCIDENCE!

Judges 7:9-11, KJV

"9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand. 10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host: 11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host".

Hmmmm! What a God! What a thing! What a leading! What a divine moment! What a divine precipitation! Brethren, I like to speak nothing else today than God's great and miraculous acts. This event here is one of them. I'm just amazed and again amazed at how God could draw a line here that'll meet with another there. That's why prophecy amazes me. Prophecy is one thing that even when under debates must find pathway for its own fulfilment. You can't roadblock it. If God's mouth says it, it must be it. And if you'll like to hear, many leadings with the instructions given with them are just prophecies seeking expression. 

How do you explain this? God leaned Gideon and his men down to a few 300. He did this so at victory there won't be any claim of whose the glory should be. This must have consequently made Gideon very doubtful and scared. How could we conquer by 300? Human resources is one of the things needed to win battles. God sees this and it reveals in His word to him: "but if you are afraid to go, go down to the host first". God wants us operate from faith and not fear. As we walk with Him, He wants us to do so in a strong believe but Gideon is far from this status. So, God decides to take him on a journey of experimentation where he could see things for himself. But before then, God told him he'll hear them saying something and by that, he'll be strengthened. Obviously, God knows what those would say but He intentionally kept it back from Gideon. He wanted Gideon to discover how great He is so much more that He won't need proofs any other time before he acts on His demands. So, what happens on reaching the edge of the enemy's camp?

Judges 7:13, KJV

"13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. 14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian". 

Look at Gideon's expression when he heard the thing being said. He worshipped God. That's the height of how he could say, "thank you Lord. When you say it, you always do it". He was full of awe. He probably had not seen this anywhere in his life. However, let's turn our attention elsewhere. Let's consider the works God does to ensure Gideon met it just as He had said. 

First of all, God had to give a dream to one of the enemy's soldiers. Then, God ordains that the arrival of Gideon would be timed to the communication and interpretation of that dream. God solely does this. That's the divine coincidence in that event. It was God who slates the meeting of both Gideon and these two men. While Gideon is on a mission and he knows for which reason he has gone out, these two men are just taking-over and found tools in God's hands. He gave one the dream and he gave another the interpretation. That's all Gideon needed to hear and it happened right on time. Gideon didn't delay in arrival and if he had delayed in arrival, God also must have delayed these two's interaction until they could serve into his hands. 

People of God, there's no length God can't go to fulfill His words. As a matter of fact, one of the things we should all be afraid of is prophetic word being spoken against us. Rather, we should endeavour that it'll be spoken for us. Once spoken, it is like a flood of water that'll eventually find its own path. Even if there was no ready made path, wherever it turns (even if there is resistance), it would make its own path. How do you explain the fact that while Joseph's brothers were trying to eliminate him, they were actually sending him on divine mission and furthering the dreams they wanted unfulfilled? You see, God only used them as tools. God keeps winning over Satan in our day to day encounters. Satan would plot this and God in the wisdom that Satan couldn't see would overthrow it. 

Brethren, God is in charge. He is taking thought for you and you'll see that some men will soon come under command to be used for that purpose for you. When God moves, the whole earth stands still, awaiting to receive what instruction He'll next give. It is His given instruction that plays out in His will (that must triumph) that everybody plays out. Gideon is a part player and those two soldiers are. According to ordainment, they must speak when he could hear and that was when they did. They didn't speak before or after arrival. They were slated to play their roles and when it pleases God to press "play", the dreamer is relieved from where he had been paused to begin to talk. We may also thank God for how God guided Gideon to that camp and to the specific people who had the words he needed to hear with them. Why didn't he arrive elsewhere at the at that camp and not where his word is? I'm thinking he should have gotten lost. God planned it however. Everything to the latter. Because God is involved, Gideon was guided to go in the direction where he could only find those two. Indeed, where he chose to go is where they too were. This is God's doing and it's marvellous in our sight. Unless we question why some things happen the way they are, we may not believe this reality and not regard them as booked acts that are slated to happen. Until you question why it was at forty years it now occured to Moses to visit his brethren and not any other time, you may not understand that events are usually slated and even for a time (Acts 7:23). Some things will not happen to you at any other time but at a specific chosen time. Those of you who are from ancestries where negative flows and Satanic influences are in operation would agree if researched that it is the age your father made a misstep you also made a misstep. Why, that's a cycle in operation. It has rebirthed itself over you. 

But I pray that every negation slated to evolve like a time bomb in your nearest future, let them be disarmed. May God frustrate and render powerless all dates and meets of the future that you must not keep appointment with. However, you'll be on time for divine meets and dates. As you go, divine coincidence will happen for you. Your feet will be guided to where events critical to your winning in life and fulfilling purpose shall be achieved. You won't go in vain. When you go, scheduled meetings and divine appointments are rather what you'll meet and keep. So shall it be.

PRAYER: God, send me to those with my words and divine resources.

HE THAT SAID OVERTAKE WILL OVERTAKE FOR YOU

I Samuel 30:8, KJV

"And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all".

Don't be one of them. One of those who carry a step nonchallantly or presumptuously. Let it be that it is a step of instruction. A step of command which you're now seen obeying. 

The truth is this, He who says overtake will overtake for you. When all was carted away, David enquired in order to pursue or refrain. He asked God if he should pursue and whether he'll overtake. God agrees to it telling him he'll have all those as his experiences. Now, the truth is this, that raiding party has long left and it is naturally difficult to decipher where they'll be. A three days journey separate both of them. However, He that says pursue and you'll overtake will always make provision for what His mouth has said in order for it to be fulfilled. This is the miracle that I love to see. This is the kind of miracle I want God to fulfill in your life so that what you hear God tells you is what you see performed sooner or later. May it be unto you just like He has said. That thing is a miracle and you'll experience one if He authors what you do. 

From a "pursue and overtake" word of God to David, he sets out and God who initiated that journey begins to take thought for him. As they journeyed, they came upon a sick one who was brought to David and revived. This sick one is however a servant to the Amalekite raider who owns him and had raided Ziklag. You see, when God is taking thoughts for you, He'll put things at different junctures for you so that His intent for you might be fulfilled. People won't know they're there for your sake. They'll be serving God given purposes to you even when they might not see how they're doing that. They'll call it coincidence or accident that your path crosses with theirs but we know that that's God's providence and orchestration. It is destiny meet and not anything less. 

What did this Egyptian say? That he's a servant to an Amalekite who had raided Ziklag and burnt it with fire but that his master had left him behind to die three days ago when he fell sick. Now, something seems not to be adding up. That Egyptian ought not to be found by David or his men alive. However, it didn't occur to his master that he could be the string by which they'll fetch him. If he had known, he would have executed him and not leave any trace behind. But it must come to pass that David pursued and overtook and recovered all. For this to happen, God made leverages for it to happen. One of such works of His is this Egyptian who had to fall sick, be left alone to die (and not murdered) but kept alive for three days and nights until he could serve the purpose for which he had fallen sick, had been left behind and forsaken to die of his own.

From there, David knew the way to this raiding party and caught them unawares. At the end, it was like God had told him. The Bible records this.

I Samuel 30:18-19, KJV

"18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.  19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

Imagine, "David recovered all".

It was as God had said unto him. People of God, let it matter to you that it is God who ordains your path before you. Let it be that it is He who authors the journey you take. Let it be that the words of His mouth are what you live out. Let it be that until He speaks, you don't move. It will be to your saving. If He authors it, you're bound to find it like He has said. Our problem may be laziness or little persistence to pray and find God's will that must be done. However, if before you run, you'll enquire, you'll be led, guided until the purpose of your enquiry is achieved. Yesterday, I told some people that God is an operator. In your journey, pursuit or journey of destiny, He knows what phase to kick-start next for you. He knows what plane to put you on next. As you near the completion of one phase, He'll anticipate and precipitate for your sake by beginning to put on ground another phase in which you must live and be carried. It is God who knows when one phase has ended in your life and when you must enter or kick-start another. So, He'll kindly make them unfold. As you're about taking the next ship to your next destination, you'll just see that it's easy. Things will just be possible. Like that Egyptian who was found at a needed time by David's men so that they might recover all - achieve their intent for launching out. In same manner, God likewise will put help, guidance and leading at necessary junctures for you. You'll just see that the opportunities to actually get that thing done is availed you but if you had tried that earlier, it wouldn't have worked. That would be because the timing was not right then though the purpose correct. 

Look at me, I am Olusola ADEJUMO, M'Wings. I am not lying but rather saying the truth. This thing I'm preaching is what has happened to me and is happening to me. I have not only read it in the Bible but it is also my experience. It became it and I can testify that if you or any work you do or any mission you undertake is the direct birthing of God, He'll see to it all until it is fulfilled. This morning, I pray for you that God will put necessary helps, guides and leadings for you where they should be. You will find men where you should find them. You'll be blessed with the gift of men and women. You will find the next ship, vessel or transport system to take which will lead you to where God has destined. That Egyptian was that to David. That was the ship they took. When they needed that ship was when it appeared because God took thought for them and had arranged it there. That was when they crossed path with him. You'll meet things at junctures where you think, "but now, I need God to show up". I remember one day I left out to check for somebody. I was using Google Map for guidance to that described neighborhood and house and I was getting it. Just then, when I got to where the house is, I discovered there's another problem in locating that person. But just then, some two kids saw me outside and said, "you are this and that. Our mother told us about you. Come in. She's on her way". That other boy who talked was in Basic 5. I was shocked at how when I needed a help and guide to take me further, one appeared. I also wondered at why they could guess I was the fellow who was told them would come. They were expecting somebody in myself but I knew that's all they knew. Even when I later met with their mother, she told me I was considerably younger than she had imagined. She thought the fellow being recommended to her would be much older. I didn't mind however. I have heard that often about myself. So, I knew no one described me to those boys but I needed to be taken further. I must not be stranded. God must take thought for me and it's a sort of miracle that it was when I reached those boys could be found outside the gate as well. I don't take even minor things for granted. When the Holy Spirit is working for my good, I know. I'm not just trying to dedicate those accomplishments to Him. He created them!

Look at me, provision has been made for you. Things will play into your hands. It'll be so in order for all that God's mouth has said may come to pass. Believe this that at your next juncture you'll be taken further until you arrive and achieve the intent of ever launching out. You're a destined child. You can't get lost. You have a destiny that's written down already and must be like that unto you. You'll be carried. Fasten your seat belt. God's next transportation system is almost here. Get ready, get ready, you will travel and travel far!

PRAYER: Father, order my steps.

LORD, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!

Psalms 90:14, KJV

"O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days".

It really gripped Moses, the man of God. Look at the way he expressed himself to God with a great exclaim and heartful feeling. If there's one thing he seeks for Israel at this time, it's that He'll satisfy them early with His mercy. There's one thing being filled with God's mercy does to your soul and your body. It makes you robust and not lean. You'll be fat fleshed and buoyant on the inside. For this, he cries and suggestively prays saying, "O satisfy us early with thy mercy". 

The expression "O" also means an expression of appeal. He's actually begging God. He's pleading with Him that He should do one thing for them - to bless them early. You see, it should be our prayer that what God wants to do, He would do early. If it's financial independence, stability of health, promotion, child birth, being in purpose etc we desire, it's our prayer that we are satisfied early with it. You must know that it is not without a purpose that Moses cried. Moses just didn't open his mouth to pray that way. He did in anticipation of a consequence - "that they may rejoice and be glad all the days of their lives". Let me use an instance. Imagine someone who's looking up unto God for the fruit of the womb and has not received such for years. Do you think the fellow will have any satisfaction wherever? They may have wealth but there's none they want to comfort it with. So, they're desperately asking for satisfaction in that they'll have their own. And let me make a point, when you're not satisfied or you have an area of your life not yet fulfilled, it will tell on you and tell on other areas as well. Have you not seen people who just begin to grow lean and sickly because there's a particular thing in their lives not met. Yes, there's a missing link. Do you also think it is of no consequence when the Bible says, "hope deferred maketh the heart sick... (Proverbs  13:12, KJV). When the heart is sick, when the soul is bowed down by unhappiness, it can't but reflect on one's body and general welfare. One would just lack strength, motivation and joy to drive life. That's why a need fulfilled is as a tree of life.

"but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.. (Prov.13:12). 

It will invigorate you. You'll be filled with vigour and you'll tend to ressurect to responsibility and new life with renewed energy. Tree of life offers life. It offers mobility. Another reference to "tree of life" as literally written and not interpreted takes us back to the Garden of Eden also (Gen.2:9). Obviously he who eats it won't die any longer. However, we know that the "tree of life" as being referred to here in Proverbs is reputed for stopping decay and deterioration. Instead of being depressed, your mountain will be strong because your needs and desires are met. You won't go down. So, if a desire or need met is as a tree of life, it means it's like eating fruits or being filled with food when you've been hungry before. It'll bring about the receiving of invigoration and new energy to run and keep up with life. 

Moses prayed, "O satisfy us early with thy mercy" and then, "that we may rejoice and be glad all the days of our life". Let us stay put here. It means without being satisfied early with mercy, rejoicing all the days of one's life is automatically hindered. It means even if there are joys in other areas and there's one impediment in another which refuses to be cleared but tarry, it means one will not have joy as long as that unfulfilled desire tarries. However, if all of one's needs is met - the greatest of them which is to have soul satiation that you're living out destiny or your purpose on earth, it means you'll be happy all the days of your life. Occasionally not having food at home won't be problem because you have what is greater than that and could secure food. A man in purpose is the most secured man on earth. They don't live insecure and distracted by envy since they're doing theirs and they know it's accepted likewise before God. 

God's intention as I'm hearing this morning is that we may rejoice and be glad all the days of our lives. Due to His intention to deliver us this, He will ensure we are satisfied early with mercy. It costs God nothing to continually give you unmerited favour in the midst of  your human best possible until you get to the top of your mountain or vocation - where at a tender age, you're a governor on earth but more importantly also, in the Spirit. Why in the spirit also? It's because your throne in the spirit is what'll protect the your office and status on earth. 

God wants you to rejoice. Look at people who have everything early, their lives get better for it. No link is missing and no room is vacant in their lives. It doesn't mean they don't still encounter hardships. That's common to all man but look, they don't have a deferred desire and so are robust. They are filled to the brim with joy of being satisfied. He has daily bread. He doesn't hunger and he doesn't beg. He has shelter and he has a family that brings joy. He's living in purpose and he's touching lives. What else should we thank God for? On occasions, when such remember how much God has satiated them, all they do is to lift up their hands and sing praises and rejoice. When you're satisfied early, you consequently rejoice. That's the one permissible thing to happen to those who have been blessed, comforted, assisted, financed, sponsored this early. Once they become that early, the joy of early fulfillment will continue to grow as they walk that road. They'll continue to be bigger and bigger unto the perfect day and as far as we know, with each level of landmark, growth and ascension comes its own joy. I pray for you that you'll no longer mourn again. I am God's anointed and as He that is called to say restore, I declare that wherever you've been robbed of joy or what could have given joy to you, let there be a restoration now! It is the joy of the Lord that can become your strength - making you inflated, robust and active. Receive it. Currently, I'm seeing dew falling from above. I'm seeing it settle on you. Receive heaven's blessings. Receive a top up even on the blessings you already have but which is not complete. Any vacant space and room in your life where you've been crying to God for satisfaction over and haven't received till hitherto is met today. You're satisfied. I say you're satisfied this day with mercy that you may rejoice, celebrate and be happy all the days of your life. Nothing is wrong building one's house that early and being under one's tree. There's a joy that comes from seeing your kids and wife playfully play in your own house. Receive that. Everything that'll make you satiated and come to the stage of being fulfilled, God is rendering to you now. So shall it be. Amen!

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for sealing that area of my life and coming to meet my needs. Be praised Yahweh.
