MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO
IT IS A PARLOUR MEETING - Ready For The Taking Series 005
Acts 10:24, KJV
"And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends."
You have known public revival. You have heard of massive harvesting of people. You have heard of the wind of revival that came and overwhelmed a territory. It has not stopped. It is still breathing. However, there is a slight methodology in what God is doing.
Three Thousand may not get converted directly but conversion hasn't stopped. Family by family, household by household, one group of friends to another group of friends, the Lord is turning them in.
Cornelius sent for a minister to hear the Word of life. Not an entertainer but someone who'll dish out the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Peter lived up to that. He preached the death and resurrection of Jesus.
The falsity of many ministers has been exposed. The diet on which they have sustained their congregation which is messy and verbose will be relegated now. People are waking up to one thing - the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Like the Spirit has said in these past days, they can send to a distance to bring the minister who has this Word of life with him. But more importantly, they are not going to raise dust with it. What God is doing seems to be silent yet very effective. People are gathered heap by heap nowadays in sitting rooms and God is meeting with them. Revival has shifted from your religious institutions and centres, it has gone into people's houses where friends, relatives and a whole household can be contained without any outsider knowing what's going on. Women in purdah will encounter Jesus and blast out in tongues, glorifying and praising God in high unhindered praise. The Spirit of liberty leaping on them will be their witness.
The preacher himself is an ordinary man. There's nothing in him that we should desire him (Isa.53:2). He's not in your fancy suit. He's not to be lodged in a 5 star hotel. He only dwells with one Simon, the tanner by the sea (Acts 10:6). When called up, he shall come and he shall reject all formalities that make men famous and something but to the decrease of Christ. As for such ministers, they must decrease but Jesus must increase. They'll instruct people with their lifestyles first before opening their mouth to talk. They'll say, "rise, don't fall before. I am also a man like yourself" (Acts 10:25-26). You'll see the humility of their message in them. These are not white washed tombs or hypocrites who desire greetings in the market place.
The revival has shifted. The wind that has been blowing has left to homes and home fellowships. There, instructions are going out to people. There, people are being discipled and the Holy Ghost is being poured on them. There, high government officials and influential people are getting born again without a camera staring on their faces nor a denomination wanting to use them as a face to enroll more.
What God is doing is an in-gathering. A whole family, household with relatives and friends will be captured. Minister of God, don't reject the humble invite of a Cornelius. Don't say it is a parlour meeting. Parlour meeting is not as important as winning souls and meeting with the heart of the Father. What God is doing must be understood so that its flame is not put out. New grounds that'll be broken in the Middle East, Northern Nigeria, North Korea and many places in the former Soviet Union that are mostly Islam dominated or dead in rituals of Eastern Orthodox Christianity shall be broken into at a parlour conference meeting. God has heart for everybody and He'll get them wherever they may be. This is a parlour meeting meeting needs of the heart!
PRAYER: Lord, we pray that the gospel of Christ will penetrate difficult terrains and places. May you also raise ministers who'll be sacrificial enough to cover new territories.
