THE DEMANDS OF THE CALLING 

I Timothy 3:1-4, KJV

"1 This is a true saying, if a man desires the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity"

I began to press on a matter based solely on the called and calling on my ministry's platform. It is that, "in the calling of the called, you're called" or let me say if you're a close affinity of a calling, there are expectations and demands waiting on you.

I have heard ministers' children say they were not allowed to live their lives - the bohemian flamboyant life they see others live. They meant a life of rebellion and secularity like other children whose parents didn't carry the call. When they speak like this, they do with a sense of pride, accusing their parents of pretense for planning them up for a hypocritical living. 

Their parents didn't intend to. Those children became so because at first they didn't want to be "tied" like their parents. We all know the story of the tied colt which Jesus rode into Jerusalem. While others were free rangers because no expectation was on them, this one was tied and consecrated for a life and a purpose. All her life, it awaits that purpose to be fulfilled.

Such children's parents who are called into ministry are clearly tied for the Lord's use. Upon heeding the call to ministry, they know this and live in its light. However, their young chaps might want to show an exception, saying, "it is daddy or mummy God called and not us".

You might not have been called truly but that you're a spouse or child of the called places obligation and expectations on you also. You're not different from your father or mother who are tied colts and can't do whatever they like because their calling places restrictions and certain demands on them. 

So, stop justifying sin and your wanting to rebel but being curtailed from doing so. Does the Bible not say any who desires the office of a bishop must have his children in subjection with all gravity. Imagine that! So, why did you want to pull yourself out of God's order and process which he specifically called for because your parents have yielded to Him in ministry?

That's the special task upon your parents who are called. God and the Bible made that demand on them and on yourself. They are only enforcing it. So, stop seeing your parents as callous and dull - ones who don't want you to enjoy your adolescence. Every right enjoyment should be within certain confines. If not, you can drink poison and harmful substances and call it feasting. 

Does everybody not know that if your father is a political figure, business mogul or famed person that it places a responsibility on you like never before to act in consonance to protect that name and hard earned reputation. There's a way such people are viewed. Certain behaviours are expected from them and those connected with them. ...and I tell you the truth, they school their kids on that except for the rebellious amidst them. Have you seen children or spouses of the political figures of your country act anyhow like other human beings even if they are amoral? Do you see them walk the streets all around? Would you just catch their glimpses like that? No! They're classified and "tied" according to the demands of the office of their parents. 

Listen, once again, if your father or mother is called, that calling affects you. No one lives in denial of that. Even when Jesus heeded His call and started His ministry, her mother was affected as Jesus was not always at home. One time, Mary and other children had to come seek Jesus out (Matt.12:46-47). So, stop fighting with what is your blessedness and peculiarity. Your heritage is good. Don't let anyone demonize it. What sort of life do you want? One that is pruned of acts that cut life short or that prolongs it?

May you see this and bathe proudly in your consecration and heritage!

PRAYER: Lord, help our young ones to submit to your righteous process. Teach them the importance of consecration.

THE VIRTUE OF WORK

Ephesians 4:28, KJV

"Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."

As you grow, you'll get to a place where you're weaned from selfishness. You'll get to a place where you identify needs and thirst being a vessel through which they could be met. If there's a need, let us say an announced need and you have nothing to give especially when you desire to do so and are filled with compassion for the needy, you'll resolve that it isn't good seeing needs and being limited or hindered from attending to it because of personal lack or want. 

In many places in the Bible, we're encouraged on the virtue of work and thorough hardwork. Anyone who's praying for the Lord's blessing is a man who should be ready to work. By the time God's blessings (a spiritual substance) comes upon you, it'll need physical manifestation of hard work to manifest realistically to everyone. Joseph carried the blessing though a slave but he still had to work. Only that at working, everything he touches results in midas' touch. 

When we work, we do so to fulfill a commandment that gets us armed with potential to meet our personal obligations and that of others. God is always making us our brother's keeper. How many of you had wanted to give help somewhere before only to find out that you are powerless economically or materially? Towards eliminating this reason, we're commanded to work. We're to work so that instead of being at the receiving end (the one everybody helps), we're at the giving end. This way, we'll fulfill Jesus' word that says it's better to give than receive (Acts 20:35). 

If you don't work, you won't be empowered to meet your needs and that of others. More so, don't think God will rain manna down from heaven for you. The means through which God provides for anyone including those working in His vineyard full time is through the body called work. Even the Bible says concerning those ones, "let he who is taught spiritual things share or communicate physical things with he who teaches him" (I Cor. 9:11, Gal. 6:6). As one labour at the ministry of the Word, his supplies are meant to come through those who are being ministered to and blessed by those words. 

God's target is not to make you the blessed only but a blessing. It's to the end, "that you may be able to give to him that needs." He wants to make you a channel and pass resources through you to those in earnest needs. Have you not read the verse which says, "and God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work" (II Cor.  9:8). 

God's intent is to pass resources to you. He wants to use you to eradicate physical needs and even spiritual. Just because of that, He'll go the extra mile of blessing you and ensuring you're independent, buoyant and having all sufficiency so you could minister to others. It is sufficiency in all things! See, you're blessed for others' sake. Don't hoard it.

PRAYER: I have all sufficiency in all things as to be able to give.

COME AND HEAL MY SON

John 4:46-47, KJV

"46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death."

The care of parents goes beyond the ordinary for their children. Oftentimes, you'll see parents wish that the evil that would befall their little ones befall them. As it lies in their power, they want to do all to protect them from pain and any form of suffering. The thoughts are even high if the child is a baby. 

Indeed, if you have seen a little child endure pain before, you might wish the same. Thinking that way isn't at all wrong. It shows love - sacrificial love that wants to bear the burdens and sufferings of another as his. Jesus borne our griefs and even carried our sorrows (Isa.53:4). Everything was laid upon him just for our sake. 

To hear that one child is at the point of death and there's a solution somewhere is a solution already found. No matter your ego or hatred for that quarters where your solution is, just for the sake of your kid, you'll tread that road to receive that solution for him. Anyone can get to a place where his effort, money or worldly assets cannot give him the breakthroughs he's looking for. At such moments, we learn the vanity in those things and come to put our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the healer and doer and giver of all good things. 

Considering the man in this passage, you'll see that he has no shame in begging for help from Jesus. He didn't say, "Jesus is a man who's no different from him!" If he holds unto that, his son would die because of his ego. Rather, he leaves all, meets Jesus and asks him for help. He tells him, "my son is sick, come and heal him." Many times when we find ourselves in unpleasant situations, we don't ask. We only worry or complain. At times, we get angry at God who we'll accuse of watching when things went wrong. That shouldn't be our attitude. Such an attitude blames the Creator instead of understanding the message in the situation that has come upon us. Not this man however. He asked! The Bible says, "till now, ye have not asked. Ask that your joy may be complete" (John 16:24). This man asked. To ask another for help takes some sort of humility. It is asking for what you don't have. It is the acknowledging of the power of he who has. This man asked and he received. Jesus tells him, "go, your son is healed."

No bargaining! It comes to pass just that way. His son was healed and I could imagine the happiness. You won't lose your issue. Irrespective of the condition surrounding their birth or existence, they shall be made whole. Beyond what medical science can attend to, God will also have mercy on them. He'll touch them and be their healer. Your love and desire to see them whole shall come to pass and your labour over them shall not be futile. Amen!

PRAYER: Call God into your critical situation. Tell Him to come and amend it. Tell Him the criticality of it. Don't withhold anything from Him. You'll see His hands.

THE STRONG SHALL GROW WEAK!

I Kings 1:1, KJV

"Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat."

In my country, there's a transport system with the motto, "the young shall grow." Only that today's teaching's title is the exact opposite of that. Brethren, the strong shall become weak. Even in the wild, the lion eventually does become prey to other animals. When strength fades and agility disappears, only those who are still youthful and renewed would preside over the weak and faded. This way, even the supposed king of the jungle becomes prey. 

Would you believe that it is the image of David the Bible paints here? How could you say David is old, well stricken in years and cannot keep warm by himself even when covered with clothes? That's just the reality and experience of anyone who is praying for long life. You might get to a place where you cannot keep warm by yourself again. This kind of inability first of all comes from your inside before it manifests as cold outside. That's the fate of any human being but to think of someone as valiant, heroic and brave as David needing the help of another to keep warm shocks me. 

However, the Bible says, "when David is old and stricken in years, he could not keep warm by himself." Tell the strong that they'll be weak tomorrow and that to be revived or made strong, they might need the strength of another. 

When you are young, there's no height you cannot climb and there's no gulf you cannot cross, but these end when you're old. I saw a funny quote somewhere. "When you're young, you sneak out of your home to go to parties but when you're old, you sneak out of parties to return to your home! How true this is! No wonder, the preacher in Ecclesiastes opens us to the fears of old age and the inabilities of aged people. He tells us that a time comes when we'll all say, "I have no pleasure in them" (Eccl.12:1). At such times, what used to work would have become deficient. The grinders (teeth) cease because they are few and those who look through the windows (the eyes) are dimmed (Eccl.12:3). At that time, desire fails because man is going to his eternal home. 

Things just automatically take turns for the opposite. It may be unimaginable if someone like David tells you he was a great warrior in his youth. You might not be able to match that feat of killing a giant with his need to keep warm - needing fresh blood in Abishag to help do that. You might be filled with contempt for him and despise him. However, you also are coming here. It is the road each and everyone of us would take. This is why it is important to be giant slayers in our youth. Make great accomplishments when you can. At old age, you tend to take bed rest even when you don't want to and sip tea. You'll be confined by one inability or the other and like David release the throne you've gained to a Solomon to continue. 

I pray for you that you won't be wasted. Before the days come on you when you cannot keep warm by yourself, may you have used yourself and realize your purpose to the fullest. 

PRAYER/CONFESSION: I will not lament my youth at old age. I seize the moment and fulfill all on me.

NOT A HAIR! - Not Even One Series 006

I Kings 1:52, KJV

"And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die."

May your testimony be, "not a hair falls!" That's God's plan for you - that in all your encounters, you incur no loss. May you however not incur any out of stubbornness especially when God is giving you another chance to live a better life than before. 

This is the story of Adonijah, one who sought to force his way to the throne even when the Lord had not chosen him. Having conspired with Joab, Abiathar and some notable officials in the kingdom, he went on to offer animals and pass through the rites of kings. However, he was cornered as soon as Solomon, son of Bathsheba was favourably announced as king over Israel. He was therefore scared and ran to catch and hold the horns of the altar - an event signifying his repentance and request for mercy or forgiveness. 

On the condition that if he'll show himself a worthy man, the king let him live and promises that no hair of his head would fall to the earth. It means no single harm would happen to him if he doesn't continually show evidence of competing for the throne. Though this promise is effective yet Absalom broke it to his peril after he asked for Abishag for a wife. 

Abishag is a woman who ministered to David in his old age but who David didn't have sexual relations with. She's a special commodity and only another king could have her. Adonijah's show of interest in Abishag secretly shows how tactical he has become in seeking the throne and wanting to defy the king. However, a messenger of death was sent after him to bring him down. 

May you live a worthy man. May you fulfill the conditions surrounding the forgiveness you've received. May you not defy God to suffer dangerous consequences. Indeed, may the hair of your head not fall.

PRAYER: Lord, where I am forgiven, I'll not go back to my vomit.

YOU CAN'T DROP DEAD BY CHANCE! - Not Even One Series 005

Matthew 10:29-30, KJV

" 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

There are many people living but in fear of death. Their fear is that they can randomly die. To them, death happens and just takes away like that. However, a Christian is and should be one out of such fear. A Christian doesn't die anyhow. Our anchor Bible verse says, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered!" If they are, it means when one falls, the one who knows it all would discern that one fell! As a matter of fact, before it falls, it has to be by His consent. 

Matthew 10:29-30 KJV

"29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

Two sparrows are sold for a farthing - an insignificant amount of money. Sparrows could be said to be worthless to the extent that it was two that worth a farthing. That's how insignificant they are. If they were very precious, two wouldn't have sold for a farthing let alone one. However, these birds are so unimportant that two get sold for a farthing. 

God just wants to play out a message through this especially when He says, "and one will not fall on the ground without your father..." It means as worthless and insignificant those birds are, even one can't just drop dead. You see, nothing just happens. God had to consent to it or be in the know before the least harm could befall these worthless birds. 

Here the Bible goes however saying, "but the hairs of your head are all numbered." Does that ring a bell? Does it pass a message? 

It means even the hairs of your head won't fall to the ground without the Lord's knowledge. No sudden fear! No sudden death! You have your time and your time is in God's hands. 

PRAYER: I am weaned of every fear of death. My time is in God's hands. With long Life will be satisfy me and show me his salvation.

DESPITE THE PERIL, NO LOSS - Not Even One Series 004

Acts 27:34, KJV

"Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you."

Harm or loss comes to different men at different times. Paul is on his way to Italy in the custody of a certain centurion. At first, Paul perceives that their journey might be with harm or losses. As such, he advised that they should not travel but the people believed in the professional advice of the sailor and owner of the ship more than Paul's (Acts 27:10-11).

They therefore embark on this journey of peril. Note this, God will come for you. He won't leave you without witness. He'll warn you. He'll tell you which journey to attend or to refrain from. However, popular opinion won over God's voice. That's a danger you must not enter into or find yourself in. Don't let anyone successfully persuade you against God's voice. 

Anyway, the ship sails when it should not. The consequence is the strong wind called euroclydon that hits it. They just couldn't master the wind, thereby losing their goods, the ship and endangering their own lives in a shipwreck. However, before the wreckage, God's word came to Paul for the encouragement of all aboard. Paul speaking to them says in Acts 27, "22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee."

Paul told them, "we shall only be cast on a certain island" but no life shall be taken in the process. Just like Paul predicted or said by the Lord, so it happened. Though they did lose the ship and many had to travel both aboard and on planks to reach the shore of the predicted island, no life was lost as predicted. It turned out to be as Paul had said. 

Acts 27:43, KJV

"43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: 44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land."

While encouraging them to eat after 14 days of abstinence from food, Paul said to them again, "I pray you to eat because this is for your health: for there shall not any hair fall from the head of any of you" (Acts 27:34). As predicted, not a strand of their hair fell to the ground. Not a man of their company loses his life except for the ship. I pray for you too, may it be unto you according to God's word!

PRAYER: I have safety in my to and fro. I am hallowed and claim untouched or unthreatened by life's circumstances.

NOT A MAN OF OUR COMPANY WAS MISSING - Not Even One Series 003

Numbers 31:48-49, KJV

"48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses: 49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us."

This is the report Moses got from the commanders of thousands and hundreds who led the Israelites' troops to battle. It is that they have numbered after the war and found that none of the hair of their head had fallen to the earth. They went to battle with a certain number of soldiers and at returning reports back to the base with the record of total completion. 

It is a blessing if you engage with a number and return with the same number. It's a blessing when after it all, you're not taking a record of losses. It's a blessing if a pregnant woman enters for delivery with the hope to give birth to the second in her and returns with that baby and herself. That is when none of the hair on her head has fallen to the ground.

I pray for you, you won't suffer or begin to count losses. Even as the year progresses, you won't have a story of losses to tell. You're redeemed from every loss encounter. When you engage and go out full, at evening tide when you shall return, you won't return back empty. This prayer and receiving is so germane because it's not everyone who steps out full that returns full (the same way). On the way and in their journey, they might have leaked virtues or lost souls who traveled with them. This happened to Elimelech who carried his family to a foreign country. They never came back complete. Naomi crying says, "20 Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me" (Ruth 1:20-21, KJV). 

If you go out of God's plan, you can't but suffer or record losses. That's why she says, "the Almighty has testified against me."

When you take a number of your family at evening time, none shall be missing. No strand of your hair would have been declared fallen. None would have been announced missing or kidnapped and even though they return home, none would have strayed from faith (a greater loss). 

PRAYER: Lord, I have entered into Year 2025. My covenant and declaration is none shall be missing of all I took into it.

NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEAD WILL FALL - Not Even One Series 2

I Samuel 14:45, KJV 

"And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not."

When the Bible says yesterday, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered", it means also, "none can fall without His knowledge." If one hair should fall, He actually is in the know of its falling.

In the Old Testament especially, there's usually a saying formed around the hair of one's head. You'll often hear Bible characters say, "and not a hair of your head will fall down/to the ground." What they mean is that the least harm would not befall the fellow they're speaking to. 

I don't know what your situation is. It may be mild or critical. Irrespective of what it is or how it looks, the God of the mountain is also the God of the valley. If there's anything He's saying now, "it is that no hair of your head will fall to the ground."

I pray for you, you will not experience any harm and if it comes, no hair of your head will fall down. No least evil or consequence would be recorded to have fallen on you. Not a strand of your hair will fall down! The Bible has spoken well concerning you when it says, "He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee" (Job 5:19, KJV). However, if it does come, you'll not experience the least harm. Listen, no hair of your head will fall to the ground!

PRAYER: I don't record losses. I am full and I remain full.

ALL NUMBERED! - Not Even One Series 001

Matthew 10:29-30, KJV

"29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

Do you believe this? Do you believe that none of the hairs of your head will fall to the ground without God's prior knowledge? The Bible says in Matthew 10:30, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered." That it is all numbered portrays many images. One of which is the fact that God wants to keep or protect you securely. What is numbered or counted is meant to be kept securely from losses or any form of harm. Except it increases, it ought not to decrease. But even when one falls down, it must be at God's word or prior knowledge. Does God descend so low to look at us and what concerns us?

Do you know what that means? It shows how farthest God cares for you. We all know how least the hairs of our heads are. They're part of the things we may not esteem as great but which are formed on the body. However, the Bible says, "but the very hairs of your head (that are many and insignificant) are all numbered." Despite its great number, God is not puzzled about how many there are on your head. Does He not know the number of stars and call each of them by name despite their number (Psalm 147:4)? He just knows because He cares for you as a person. That's why He is this careful to know the least details of your life. Psalm 8 talks of this when it says, "what is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visiteth him" (Psalm 8:4). The Psalmist takes this further when he pens the entire Psalm 139 to speak about such wondrous knowledge of God that knows him in and out. God's mindfulness of him is revealed in how nothing of him is hidden or withheld from God. Even the words which he'll speak which are still in his tongue are known by God (Psalm 139:4). 

Psalms 139:1-6, KJV

"1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it."

The Psalmist himself confesses, "such knowledge (of God knowing everything about me) is too wonderful or unattainable for me." Don't you think God is an extraordinary God that goes so far to know the insignificant details that concern us. If the Bible says, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered", tell me what in your life happens by chance without God's knowledge. If He keeps records on your hair, it means He knows when one sprouts or falls off. 

Be comforted! God's care system covers you. If the very hairs of your head that fall and immediately become waste are this observed and thought after by God, does He not care over your finances, marriage, career, calling etc?

PRAYER: Lord, I release all. I let go of my worries, fears and concerns. I believe in you and in your word that I am worth more than many sparrows.

HAVING AN EXPECTED END

Jeremiah 29:11, KJV 

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

You can't know what a drug can do experientially until you take it. The potential hidden in that capsule or tablet would be manifested in you once it is swallowed and it all goes to work. As sure as the manufacturer is, that drug never fails and it has been specifically made to meet certain health needs that you might have. While that drug is potent however and powerful to recover, he who refuses to take it can't witness its healing power. 

In like manner, God says, "I know the thoughts that I have towards you, thoughts of good and not of evil to give you a hope and a future." In simple terms, there are certain potentials that we could peak as God highlighted here. Revelatory, one of the ways - if not the germane way through which God gives us a hope and a future is through our ordained calling. God has planned for every human being and He has afore ordained that when you do the life's work that He created or fitted you for at creation, that you become an expected end that'll be colossal in there. 

One of the major hindrances to having hope (continued expectation or trust of gigantic thing) is when you have missed it and have gone into fields that you're less equipped for. God didn't created you to disgrace you or clip your wings. He wanted you to manifest and function succinctly and effectively to the end of the world. So, He loads you with gifts and potentials that are specifically crafted or most suited for a field or way of life. It is not everybody that can endure solitariness. I know that because I can but my wife hates it. However, some by their makeups are fitted naturally for such kind of life. So, if you'd ever heard that someone became a nun or monk or goes on to become a sage who lives by himself without any interruption from humans except relation with nature, you might begin to have access into the wisdom why some choose certain fields and ways of life and why others find it boring and unacceptable. I don't know any prophet who is not naturally suited for solitariness. If he is not naturally suited, he'll be beaten into one to the measure he can have relationship and communication with God. 

The hope that God will renew or kindle in you (as you feel called and you pursue relentlessly your calling) will lead undebatably to a future or an expected end. When God says, "an expected end", it means "a conclusive end." When God created you, He created your years to come and ordained the details of things you should become as well. Read Jeremiah 1:5 to see how conclusively God talked about Jeremiah. He wasn't an afterthought at all! So, if you align with your destiny and live as the fated one, your result will be the expected one. The kind that has been predestined, foreshadowed or prophecied or slated. Reading through the synoptic gospels, you'll often read, "and it is written that it might be fulfilled..." Jesus lived the ordained life. Even when His parents took him to live in Nazareth after the demise of Herod and their return to Israel, the Bible says, "that it might be fulfilled that He is a Nazarene" (Matt.2:23). 

God has ordained that you meet it so as slated or have it as the words of His mouth or His plans have slated also. When you do your life's work (where your destiny is coded and concealed), you'll meet it so. As you go on carrying steps, you'll be unwrapping many things God has kept and hidden for you in that specific calling of yours. 

This reminds me of a revelatory dream or vision Bishop Dag Heward Mills had. He said he was journeying and he came on a heap of gold. Then, he stopped, devising how to move the gold and possess it all. He actually thought of calling for a truck to move the entire thing. But just then, he heard a voice or so saying, "you don't have to halt your ministry here because of this. Continue your ministry. On the road that I have called you, there are many more of such reward. Just fill your hand with some handfuls and put it in your pocket and journey on."

Bishop Dag Heward Mills is a founder and pastor of one of the fastest growing churches in the world. His healing Jesus Campaign Crusade has ministered to many not to talk of his books, especially the Loyalty and Disloyalty Series that has helped countless ministers including those running organizations outside the church world. 

Brethren, the promise of a future and a hope or an expected end as put by some other versions is a manifestation of heeding your destiny. Like a capsule or tablet coded with healing potentials, your destiny is concealing the expected end you could become and will become when your calling is heeded. Your calling is the capsule carrying your destiny or everything God planned you should get great by. Mark that!

PRAYER: I see right and live right. I pursue my calling and become its expressly predicted end.

THE MAKING OF ROOM FOR A JOSEPH

Read Gen.39:1-6

Genesis 39:3, KJV

"And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand."

Did you read that verse above? That verse testifies to God trying to make a room for Joseph. To be noticed or observed isn't far fetched. God only needs to act on your behalf. Men only need to be persuaded to give you a trial. Acceptance is not something you buy with money. Trust is not something you bargain for with mere words. You must earn it one way or the other. When God was set to make Joseph privileged though a slave, "He was with him." Now, what are the things that the Lord being with any would cause? Favour, prosperity, divine attraction for attention are three which were visible in Joseph's life. Immediately the Lord was with him, all he does prospers. It is no longer Joseph now but the covenant blessing of Abraham giving him flourishing, excelling and productive results. If Joseph should dig where others couldn't get water initially, you'd see him discover and come back with water. Why? A Spirit has joined and mixed Himself with his output so much more that this became known to all. They've been shocked and shocked over at the unusualness of his results. There's just nothing he does that he does not prosper in. This is where it is not of work lest any man should boast but of grace. This is where it is no longer of Joseph but of God. As far as we know, his prosperity was because God was with him. What would he have achieved if God was far from him? This should keep any with prosperity humble and makes him an eternal steward and subordinate under the righteous hand of God. How we ought to also desire and covet like Moses and other men of old that if His presence doesn't go with us, we wouldn't go. His presence is enough and the overall determiner of what might happen to us on the journey. It's that presence Joseph didn't lack and it paid off. 

Joseph also was said to have found grace. He seems to be loved above others. Something seems to be calling attention to him and what he does. Pharaoh seeing the Lord is with him tends to be having soft spot for him now. He wants to treat him specially and entrust something in his hands which others couldn't have because they haven't been certified to him. But Joseph could because he has been recommended to him by the Lord who made all he does to prosper in his hands. And since he's not ready to suffer harm or losses in what he has at home or the field, he needs such a man that can watch his back yet nothing would be marred in his hands. He needs a man that would watch over all he has and same won't decrease but rather multiply. For this reason, he made him the General Manager and Overseer of his household. That's wisdom. He saw that all he does prospers and he's now leveraging on the fact that once it touches that boy's hands, it becomes gold. All these things are steps taken by God to ensure Joseph was carved a space of recognition in Potiphar's house. At least, he had some degree of privilege, respect and special treatment unlike the ordinary slaves and staff (even the Indigenes). Don't forget that Joseph is Hebrew - a stranger. It therefore becomes difficult persuading an Egyptian who must have seen slaves act as slaves over the years to set a slave as the head of his house. It even looks diminishing. Others could have said, "why don't you look for one of us and entrust him with such job? Why that odd one?" But we all know why? Potiphar was necessitated making Joseph the head of his house because God made room for "that boy." How? God made all he does to be prosperous and this was not hidden to Potiphar. That verse says, "and when Potiphar saw that God made all he does to prosper in his hands..." It was that observation that led to the making of the room and the flinging open of that special door he enjoys. Look at me, there's no where you are that God goes with you that any would be able to push you aside.

Never! Except you don't go with God. Except his presence has left you. That's when you can be taken for granted but if He be with you, you'll be the centre of attraction without trying. God will just appease men on your behalf and draw attention to you. He did for Joseph. He made him have special results. The mathematics equations that others couldn't solve, when it got to his own hands, he cracked it open. From this and more, all the departmental and college professors began to take cognizance of him and commit into his hands. This is how God makes people who are nobodies to ride on their high places. He only needs to pull a string. God is doing that for you today. He'll speak for you like He spoke to Potiphar on behalf of Joseph. He'll persuade people to receive you without a speech from you. Your space won't be vacant any longer because you shall arise and take your place even if you're a stranger in a strange land. I see a room being made for you. I see men being convinced about you. I see fathers in their fields saying, "he's the man for the job." They're hiring you right away and all shall be traced to "God being with you" that no man may boast. 

PRAYER: Lord, make a room for me career wise. Recommend me to men of high places. Anoint my hands for special productivity and prosperity. Let my good deeds be noticed.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

SO SCARED AND SO DIVIDED

Read Deut. 28:1-7

Deuteronomy 28:7, KJV 

"The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways."

You should burst into laughter after reading that verse. 'One way attack and seven ways fleeing' really shows the cowardice heart of your enemies. This is the Lord's provision for those who are His, who are adherents and abiders in Him. Without Him, we know we can do nothing. This off course includes gaining victory over the enemy. 

Today's anchor verse is fully loaded with blessings. In warfare, strategy is usually foremost. Strategic attack is the wit and soul of warfare and so it is usually employed by all military mights. No wonder, there's an entire section dedicated to military intelligence and strategy in the force. It is just for proper learning of the enemy, his ways and how to smoothly launch attacks at him. "The Lord (not any other) shall cause our enemies that rise up against you to be smitten (beaten down and to stubble) before you..." This suggests victory for us. However, we need to examine how the Lord does such work or achieves such promised end. As such, we have the part B of that verse which says, "they shall come out against you one way, and flee before you seven ways."

"Coming out against you one way" suggests the orderliness and coordination of the enemy's attack at launching out and attack time. At this time, the enemy is still in his wit, boldness and sticking yet to his strategic plans. He still believes he could strike fear in you and in your camp. So, he is orderly - maintaining his cool. However, at the herald of a sound that does boom, the enemy is shaken, runs helter skelter for life and for safety. At such moment, he forgets formal arrangements or engagements but seeks safety and safety only. As such, he becomes scattered, abandoning all plans that was to be taken and was decided on in the war room. Now is the time for self preservation and that becomes his solitary goal. Having witnessed a power more gloriously superb than his, he can't but seek refuge. And to do this, he throws caution away but seeks safety in panic, destabilization and throbbing fear. This is why the enemy that has come out against you will flee before you in seven ways. It is due to having witnessed a greater power and for having come to the realization of needing escape so urgently. He therefore doesn't mind which way he goes as far as he secures safety. 

Their hearts will fail them. They'll be frightened out of their wits. You see, when the hearts of people fail them, they'll literally lose their senses and forget plans they had pledged allegiance to. At times, they might suffer heart attack, fall down from an arrest of the heart and yield up the ghost. That killed Nabal. When he heard of the match of David, he was afraid, was frozen and immediately was dead at heart. It didn't take a minute before he collapsed to the ground (I Sam.25:37). That's what fear can do. It scares people to do the unreasonable. 

The sort of fear that will descend on those who come out against you is such that'll frighten them out of their wits and jolt them to the realization that they've messed with the wrong fellow. It's therefore regrettable like a dog's entering into the lion's den with a boast to challenge him. You know how regrettable that would be. The enemy will drop his weapons and devices and flee in different directions. We have seen many images of this in the Bible and during times of war. 

Syria came to build siege against Samaria. However, at God's declaration that there will be surplus, God made the Syrian army hear many noises of chariots and horses. Thinking the king of Israel had gone to hire armies against them, they fled for their lives - not considering orderliness, formality and organization.

The Bible records that their tents were left as it were (II Kings 7:6-7). They didn't have any time to lose their horses, pack their belongings or collect their provisions. They only ran for dear lives. Another confirming verse says, "and all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste" (II Kings 7:15). As a matter of fact, they cast away every weight that could hinder them from right and timely escape. 

That is a likeable example of what that verse says. Look, let them come out against you one way at any time. It is written that they shall be discomfited so much before you that they'll lack proper organization (like before) but be scattered and flee (mindful only of escape) before you in seven ways. They'll severely be uncoordinated in their bid to escape. They might come coordinated but the terror that'll descend on them will leave them broken up, fragmented and scattered into several parts and that's seven parts as the Scripture guaranteed. If their band ever met, they'll question themselves, "Where were you and how did you really escape?" Their narratives would be that of a fearful and narrow escape. As such, you'll become the terror, the fear and the obeyed that the enemy gives obedience to. 

As you abide in Christ, He'll build a shelter of fear and terror over and round you. It'll be real and thicker than a cloud so much more that no man will be able to break in. They'll fear touching you and that'll be because of that hedge. At attempt to violate you, they'll witness a failure and see that your Redeemer is strong. At any attempt, what shall happen is a scattering and a dispersing into seven places. Yes, seven places that'll show how really discomfited the enemies are before you. 

PRAYER: Lord, may I always abide in You. I am sealed and can't be violated. No hand touches me.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

LORD, I SEEK AN OCCASION!

Read Judges 14, 15

Judges 14:4, NLT

"But Samson told his father, "Get her for me! She looks good to me." His father and mother didn't realize the Lord was at work in this, creating an opportunity to work against the Philistines, who ruled over Israel at that time."

There are those who where they are, it is the troubling of the water they are waiting for (John 5:1-7). Once they sight the water troubled, it'll be to them a shot in the air. It will herald their take off. That'll immediately launch them into what they have been waiting or hoping to do. However, if the troubling of the water never comes, they might tarry, waiting for the opportunity to launch into the water. That's because the arrival of the stirring angel and the moving of the water is the only provided occasion to launching into the healing pool. 

To do something or become something, you need the rightful leverage or opportunity. You can't manifest more than the open door God has given to you. If you're agitating inside you to manifest and be revealed to the world in your own day but you have no divinely granted opening, occasion or opportunity for that, you might remain at the backside of the desert for life. For David to leave obscurity and be revealed to Israel, the entire Israelites' army including King Saul were paralyzed for forty days. They couldn't take on the Goliath challenge. It took God to sovereignly send David to the battle through the hands of Jesse, his father. The occasion God found for that was the checking on the welfare of his brothers at battle. However, that was just a front God hide the real purpose behind. Even David had to respond to Eliab saying, "is there not a cause?" (I Sam.17:29). 

How I pray today that those of you where you are who are seeking an occasion to launch into something or start something would see that door opened unto you so soon. Until then, you'll have no accommodation or granted space to manifest. You'll just remain pregnant with your vision without a platform created for you to give birth to it. If not, one might even die waiting. 

In today's reading, Samson was thought to have been frivolous. At Timnath, he saw a beautiful woman who he sought to marry. He troubles his parents over getting her for him. Knowing that a believer must not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever, the parents would not. They wanted him to make a choice of an Israelite. However, the Bible adds this side comment to vindicate Samson and his desire. 

Judges 14:4, KJV

"But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel."

So, it was the Lord roaming about - moving and vibrating on the earth seeking an occasion to give to Samson to begin to live out the calling of being a deliverer. However, that occasion - the first of it that'll open the door of ministry to Samson began by being couched in an unequally yoked marriage. Not that God seeks to work against Himself or contradict His everlasting principles. If you follow the storyline, you'll see that Samson eventually didn't marry this Philistine woman. All that God needed was to create an incident that can avail Samson the opportunity, leverage and open the door for the fulfillment of why He called him. Samson's inability to enter into his wife coupled with the fact that he was angered and outwitted by the Philistines who ploughed with his heifer started the beginning of the deliverances God started to wrought with him and give to Israel. While you may mourn the fact that Samson lost a wife to his friend, God's thought was established firmly on that advancing purpose and the bringing of Israel the predicted deliverance.

Samson couldn't have started on his own. An occasion had to be presented to him from heaven to take. That's why I believe the verse that says, "a man can receive nothing except it be given him from above" (John 3:27). I know those who'll break their backs trying to have what has not been given them from above. If you have a destiny to fulfill, while you're eager to manifest, one wisdom you must watch out for is God's divinely ordained moment coupled with an open and granted platform for that. I know those who out of desperateness to manifest soiled their garments because they took a leverage and sought to rise, kill and eat from a sheet that never descended from God. At day's end, they polluted their callings having been joined to the uncircumcised. Samson however had to receive an open door in order to begin to manifest the stirrings he had felt in Mahaneh-dan, between the towns of Zorah and Eshtaol. God has been moving, training and coming on him for that purpose. The intent for that stirring is therefore about to be fulfilled and it couldn't have found expression until God had found the rightful occasion or opportunity for Samson to begin to manifest through. If you'll follow this storyline to chapter 15 of Judges, you'll see how this little door or occasion led to the many killings of Philistines - the beginning of deliverance for Israel. 

May God allow you too to manifest your calling. May God ordain an occasion that's ripe for you. Have you been waiting for a time or an opportunity that'll avail you swift moves? I pray, let there be orchestrations of that. You'll see signs and you shall know that, "now is the time and this day is the day."

PRAYER: Father, give me a door to avail me my heart desires. Cook for me an opportunity that'll become my launch pad into destiny.
