Let me tell you this.
Whenever a country occurs to you, pray for it.
Several places, cities and countries have occurred to me on occasions.
I don't know all God might want to do about them but I did one thing.
I sent prayers there.
It's Cyprus that's coming to my mind now.
Who knows whether one will minister in all those places one day?
The same applies to persons.
As a matter of fact, I reaped a testimony on that of persons on Wednesday by being prompt to call someone the Spirit highlighted to me to call.
Be obedient!
Guess what I'm perceiving and which I can substantiate with Scriptures.
The Bible says, "Every place your feet shall step, there have I collected for you."
God also told Abraham, "Look at the sky and the stars innumerable, so shall your seeds be."
I just paraphrased those verses.
What if it'll also be unto you according to your obedience and uttered prayers.
The Bible says this. I heard it expressly.
"6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
7 Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces."
Note the part that says, "They shall PROSPER that love thee."
How do you love a nation? What is the prove of your love for places?
Praying for them!
And I tell you, you will prosper. You will not only prosper but one day, you will see those places you have prayed for.
I'm also seeing Acts 10. Before Peter was set on motion to Caesarea, he first had seen a sheet descended to him, foreshadowing his soon move to the Gentiles and the opening of that world up for evangelism.
Guess what the Spirit told him.
Acts 10:19-20, KJV
"9 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them."
Did you see that? Prayers don't get lost? They are sown seeds. You shall find them after many days. They are only being casted on the water. They shall be retrieved at manifestion.
Visions don't die. Joseph's dream came to pass. The seeing of the stars by Abraham was fulfilled.
Pray for the peace of those places and a reward shall be returned to you too.
It may be that, "Every place your mouth walks over in prayer as the burden comes to you shall be collected for you."
Probably God is determining the extent Morning Wings Ministry or the work in our hands should go.
Who knows whether we'll have church branches there one day? I tell you! Nobody knows.
When God comes to some people to determine the reach they'll go, they won't do it well because they have not been faithful men in secret.
I remember a story. Elisha was dying and he told a king to open the window and shoot the arrows of victories.
"17 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.
18 And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed."
Guess how many times he smote the ground.
Just three times. Guess what follows for his lack of sufficiency and thoroughness.
II Kings 13:19, KJV
"And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice."
Imagine that! Meaning, Elisha was disappointed at that king. And I tell you, God was disappointed at that king also. That king by his own act of laziness determined his victory and its intensity. He could have had victory over victory until Syria is nowhere to be found again.
Have you not read of Scriptures like, "As you have said in my ears so will I do."
You'd better say good things and not be stupid.
You will be the one to determine how far you'll go and the reach you'll have especially when God comes to you through burdens like I've been saying. God will give you that open cheque by coming to you and saying, "Now, determine your reach in prayer and through the offer or responsibility of bearing burden or interceding for places or persons."
God won't tell you that by doing that, you're determining your future but I tell you, that's it.
I tell you, "As you say in God's hearing, so shall He do."
So, be diligent!
You shall see those places you have laboured over!
The husbandman ought to be the first partaker of the harvest. Isn't it?
Therefore, don't smite the ground once. Not even thrice. Strike it uncountably. Labour well and seriously for those places before God. Cast your bread on the water. Cast it! Cast it! Sow your seeds effectively into those places and one day when you're there, it shall be recollected to you what you once did.
Seeds that we sow don't get lost. Prayers that we pray live on until the day is dawn. They always return as HARVEST!
Look, you will reap what you've sown.
Why?
You've always been part and parcel of those places.
Believe me. I am Olusola ADEJUMO and God has just spoken!
