MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."
There are two types of people that are usually lightened. One are the ignorant. He doesn't know he has a call nor has he found it out. By the time he comes close to an anointing carrying the call, as that anointing teaches and digs, he could come to a realization that his time on earth is not ordinary and that God has a purpose for him too. Many people's callings are buried under prejudice, wrong doctrine, false beliefs and the education they might have received etc. Until God digs with teachings to convict them and enlighten them to realization, they'll not change their ways of life nor ask, "Lord, what would you have me to do?"
However, there's another category. This category of people are more of a debtor than the first. These ones know their calls. Some might have even found it and have started living it out. Meanwhile, they're part of the careless, distracted or the called who went into sin. Some of them could even have backslided or stopped doing their callings altogether. These kinds of people might have tasted God's power but right now, deny it. They might have once operated in the anointing or see for themselves what the calling and its instrumentality could do. However, they relaxed or fell away. To lighten them, God can raise a calling like their own to stir them to the realization of the path they stopped walking in. Also, God could anoint someone just beside them - a neighbor, like He raised David (lesser in rank) to replace Saul (the king). At times, it may be someone that's younger than they are or a vessel that when considered would make them really stirred to envy and consequently repentance. At times, if they are just redundant, God can highlight another calling that's running God's will to them. It could be one being done by a set mate of theirs who doesn't have their qualifications. What God wants to achieve by this overall act is to bring them out of their despondency so that their callings could be reignited.
God has used me and my ministry to do both ministries in people's lives. There are a lot of people - very older people who have neglected their callings until they encountered my teachings. By the time I began to dig into the issues of the calling and that life is more than meat and clothing, they were woken up to their callings. This includes those who have backslidden. You see, teachings on callings summarily do come in a way that it'll make wasters of time, doubters, ignorers or sinful men come to hold their mouths, realize how much they have lost and be reignited to do the calling.
Whenever God uses you even this way to lighten the people, then you are a light that lightens men. Your calling will not affect every human being but it'll affect men of your calling - those God has assigned specifically to your calling. You become a light lightening other men when by your way of life and teachings, others come to the realization of truth on how they should have lived and how seriously it should have been. If you're a Christian sinner and you have failed to repent even after many persuasions of the Holy Spirit, what the Lord would do is to put a very pure/holy life by your side to convict you. You will not only be convicted but be ashamed that you disappointed God and have tarried in such a position till then. All that will be to call you to repent.
I hope you're not in these categories. If you are, let today be your last day in sin, carelessness or distraction. Any day you live without doing your calling is a day wasted. Stiff wastage and start living purposefully.
PRAYER: Lord, waken the dead; arouse the sleeper.
