MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO
THE MAN WITH WHAT MEN OUGHT TO DO! - Ready For The Taking Series 003
"He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do."
Now, when this angel says, "he shall tell thee what you (Cornelius) ought to do", it means Peter has a particular Word for Cornelius.
That word is the timely Word that expectant/yearning Cornelius need to hear. The reasons for that were well settled in yesterday's devotional. Meanwhile, does that mean God cannot fill a minister up with other Words to speak to other people's situations? I didn't say that or refute that possibility. As a prophet, I know God can do that because God has been able to bring diverse timely words through me to other people.
So, we may need to consider that latter part of our verse in a new light, closely linked with the message of salvation we saw yesterday.
When that angel says, "he shall tell you what you ought to do", that angel in essence is saying, "we have a go-to minister. One we have welled up with God's Word that you need to hear now."
It is the Spirit of God that wells up or inspires which Word to preach to the men who come around us and may I tell you the truth, the Word that someone needs at a time may not always center on salvation. It may just be to comfort or allay his fear. Doing that as the Spirit will inspire and give you utterance will be obedience.
So, another aspect of this Bible is the fulfillment of the verse that says, "for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:14). Here, forth telling becomes a weapon of God's minister. He wells him up with a particular matter and he releases that Word to meet immediate needs at a time. That's what we call, the Word for the now.
That Word is a disposable Word. You can't manufacture it for use on another occasion. You have to wait for the Spirit to inspire or give you another to speak to meet the occasion next time. That's when it can make sense. That's when you can operate in the Spirit still. So, when that place says, "and he will tell you what you ought to do", it interprets as what God would want you to hear, what He will sovereignly bring or speak through that yielded human vessel to you.
If you always want to experience peak moments, speak what God is saying. If you want momentum to die off you, don't wait for that per time Word. As a matter of fact, that's what Matthew 4:4 hints at. It's "the every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." Scripture can just break lose and when interpreted, it'll make sense and move your hearers. It'll meet their needs as if someone had gossiped to you about their lives earlier.
It's also the Word that Job talks about when he says, "I have esteemed the Word of your mouth more than my necessary food" (Job 23:12). Those are God's uttered Words. Motion Words! Moving Words! Stirring Words! Prophetically uttered Words! Forth-told and inspiringly spoken Words. Words spoken like one fallen under trance. It's that kind of Word Balaam couldn't tap nor gather when Balak offered sacrifices for him to make entrance or divination. He wanted Words for the moment but God locked him up and suffered Him with it.
Why have I been able to author the devotional these past years? It's because of those daily Words God gives. He inspires them and they all look and felt new. When taught, they not only rejoice me but the hearers.
Let the Spirit choose for you as you meet people. He'll fill your mouth with what you shall say. A message shall not be far from you. That's when people will not be able to resist the authority and wisdom by which you speak. Other than this, you'll make mistakes and be fretted with errors in speech.
PRAYER: I choose from the womb of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit transports me. I am a vessel and I'm yielded to Him.
