MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola ADEJUMO
WE ARE SEEING OUR SIGNS!
Psalms 74:9, KJV
"We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long."
You may not know but it is actually a kind of mercy if you can see signs that signal or prompt you to actions. In series one of this teaching, I had briefly mentioned this. Don't you think the invalids at the pool of Bethesda wouldn't have known what to do if there's no marker given them, announcing what action should follow that marker?
John 5:3, KJV
"In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water."
Do you think they would have been that prompt - attentive and hurrying for the pool all at once if they haven't first of all sensed the water having been moved or stirred?
I tell you, none of them would have moved an inch. However, for the moving of the water. The moving of the water is a sign set to prompt them into action. Afore then, the Bible says this about them. "In these lay a great multitude..." You see, all of them were lying fallow in inactivity there. There won't be any change until that subtle announcement that the water has been stirred is known by all.
Their attitude and lifestyle change the moment they sight the water being moved. Irrespective of what they might have been indulging in, they let go to launch into the pool. It doesn't matter whether they were eating, bantering for something, shaving or doing whatsoever. As soon as they perceive or hear the whistle that proclaims the pool has been charged with the healing virtue, everybody goes on their track to pick their race for the pool.
That is why I have come this morning to pray that you won't be without signs or notifications anymore. Without signs, you won't know the appropriate time for an action. As such, you will delay more than necessary. When you're without signs or notifications, you're not different from a log of wood. You just won't recognize the time that has come upon you. You won't be able to read emergencies. You cannot be spurred into action or aroused from your sleep. You'll continually maintain one attitude without changing your lifestyle or seeking to better your life. But that's not the same lot of these invalids. Though they're a bunch of impotent men, at the observation that the water has been stirred, everybody competes and seeks to take a dive for his healing. They'll drop the old attitude of inactivity and embrace the new, calling for prompt action.
Today, I pray for you, see your signs. Let notifications come before hand to ready you. Hear the sound of the abundance of rain. Decode it for what it is so that you'll be able to warn people in your life to mount their chariots, be on their way lest the rain stops them (I Kings 18:41, 44). May you see your signs, hearing steps and feet of those who are coming your way especially as messengers of death. This way, they can be held at the door before they arrive while you think of a solution and escape (II Kings 6:32). I declare, you're no longer like them. You're not a dead or deaf child who doesn't know or see signs. Before it springs forth, you're told of it henceforth.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: Before it springs forth, God tells me of them. I am awake and aware.
