LORD, HOW LONG?

Psalms 90:13, KJV

"Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants."

You don't say the Lord should return if He hasn't left you to yourself in the first place. That's the prayer of Moses over Israel. It is that the Lord will return and renew His works of old amidst them. Subsequent verses after that reveal the specific prayer points of Moses. 

God must of a surety return to us. Moses not only prayed but he also lamented how long it had been since they last experienced God. Don't forget that their generation in question is a stiff necked one that rejected God. Of course, they suffered for it. It is these sufferings that they wanted revoked. Now, Moses is saying, "O satisfy us early with your mercy...make us glad according to the days that you have troubled us..."

Is anybody there who's thirsty for the Lord and His return like Moses and the Israelites did? Have you missed intimacy with Him due to your negligence and apostasy? Is there anyone here saying, "O Lord, how long shall it take you to return?" Is that your heart cry and lamentation? Are you thirsty for life with Him? Have you suffered enough without life with Him? 

Unless you have tasted the Lord, you experience no feelings of loss when He's no more with you. Moses knew the goodies of the Lord. He'd tasted Him afore hand with the children of Israel. However, that same Lord is nowhere to be found in their lives as they continually sinned and pushed Him off. Should such a man not raise a prayer altar? Should he not desire an immediate return of God, lamenting His delays when He doesn't appear with His works of old. 

To dry off from the roots takes no time. All that needs to happen is for you is neglecting/rejecting God. The Bible says, "and without me you can do nothing" (John 15:5). Is it not in Him we live, move and have our being?

For short, we're consisted together in Him and when He's no longer there because of our rejection of Him, everything falls apart. 

This morning, draw near to God and He'll draw near to you. 

PRAYER: Lord, I draw nearer. Draw me near.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 4:18–5:27, Acts 15:1–35, Psalm 141:1–10, Proverbs 17:23

REVIVE THY WORK IN OUR MIDST

Habakkuk 3:2, KJV

"O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy."

This has to be our prayer. If we refuse to make this our plea, we shall remain dry and all the same. We can no longer dilly dally but to raise a cry that the Lord will revive His work in our midst. 

Without a revival, renewing and stirring, there cannot be any turn around. Rather, the same testimony shall persist, and what is that?

John 5:3, KJV

"In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water."

We still don't want to be one of those who'll "lay" inactive but redundant in hope that never comes. Rather, we want the Lord to break forth on us like a flood and sweeping water. 

Unless the Lord's visitation comes upon us, it'll be business as usual. Men will just lay without understanding of the scriptures, comfortable in their sins and complacent in reaching for God. At best, we'll be invalids - impotent folk of blind, halt, withered waiting for the moving of the water. However, it is not enough to wait without seeing Him come. 

May this moving of the water come. May God's stirring comes because that's the beginning of a new experience entirely. Did you observe that unless the water is stirred, there's no major activity round that pool of Bethesda. Everybody till then lay still. That tells you of something. Except God revives His work amidst us, people will still sit like before. They will therefore show no commitment to personal intimacy. However, the Bible says, "for an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."

You just read of "stepping into the water." That talks of an activity. What brings an activity amidst any congregation of people is the appearance of God. At that time, people begin to receive strength. Upon contact with the armed or energized water, the Bible testifies that the first man is healed of whatever diseases he had. Does that not tell how the Lord shall heal us at His arrival?

Without the Lord reviving His works of old amidst us, we cannot know any personal joy. The joy of salvation would be dull and dead in us. People will have no unction or inspiration to rejoice in God's things. However, once there's a stirring or a revival, we shall once more do all the great works of old. 

We therefore pray for a revival of God's work in our midst. Your understanding shall be opened, salvation shall take place. Healing shall not elude you. Gifts shall be distributed and impartations touch you.

PRAYER: Lord, revive your work in me. Stir me up. Heal me. Arm me with energy.

AND SHE AROSE AT MIDNIGHT

I Kings 3:20, KJV

"And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom."

One thing that you must not lose is your sensitivity and structure. If it is out of place, a lot of things can be done in your surroundings without your smelling it. The devil can smuggle things into your life or out of it without you ever reasoning that this is the devil at work. 

What the devil wants when he comes is to see everybody without any awareness of time. The devil wants everybody to be drunk and asleep. When you enter into a place with drunken or asleep people, you can carry out your intent without worrying about being disturbed, confronted or challenged. The devil likes that thing. 

That's why the Bible says, "7 for they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation" (I Thessalonians 5:7-8 KJV).

While the context has to do with the rapture yet it fits my explanation because it all talks about cultivating awareness/knowing. There will be people who will not know but you shouldn't be in that class. You should be able to identify and tell of what time or season has come upon you. 

Our verse of the day says, "and she arose at midnight and took my son from beside me while thine handmaid slept..."

Before we praise the recovery of this lady, we also have something to learn from her life. She slept off. She became unaware. 

Mark the devil, he visits you when you have lowered your guards. He comes to steal, kill and destroy when you sleep. What the devil wants to collect is easily snatched then without challenge or fear of confrontation.

That woman confessed to it that the recovery she wanted wouldn't have been necessary if she had not slept the sleep of death. But she was well targeted. Instead of wearing the devil out, it was the devil that got the better of her. 

The devil is always looking for an opportune time to strike or have his prey. The Bible says somewhere that, "sin is crouching at the door" (Gen.4:7). Later on, the Bible also says, "your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, crouches/walks about seeking whom to devour" (I Pet.5:8).

That tells you something of the devil. He's ever attentive and active on your matter, sniffing and sneaking around to see a slightly opened door in your life. That's why the Bible says he crouches at the door. When something "crouches", it lies in wait for its prey. Once its prey begins to come out of its shell, it'll immediately snap its neck. That's who the devil is. 

Have you lost anything to him? What has he carried away from you? We appealed to God like that woman appealed to King Solomon and decree as with a sword of judgement that it should be restored unto you now. What are the practices, doctrines, images, items or confessions you have cultivated that had opened you to the devil? I awaken you to them in order to cancel them. I shut the door against the devil in your life and family. We pray for all fathers who are to be the strongest watchers that they'll not be deceived or found drunken and asleep. You're awake, aware and full of consciousness. You know what the time is and what it is designated for.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your deliverance and ministration.

REGURGITATIONS!

Genesis 48:7, KJV

"And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem."

Have you visited aged or very aged people before? If you're very patient and close to them, I'll say get ready for disclosures. You'll see memories speak. 

I found out they often do one thing - they begin to regurgitate about their beginnings and past. At this time, there's rarely an iota of shame in them again. What they want to do is to help you see lessons that'll keep you from making their mistakes but attain their success. 

But beyond this, why would they suddenly turn the rear mirror? Why would they begin to chant back memories and things of old? The reason is very simple. At old age, people become more reflective. They tend to count their victories and number their losses. It's like what every trader does after the day's trade at the market. Only that, they may not be able to make improvements except to pass their wisdom down. Especially if they are bedridden or near death, they spill everything out, connect the dots of their journeys, pick the most memorable and relevant memories and speak them as wisdom, family identity or values that should be followed. 

One day, each and everyone of us would do so because we are promised long life and God's salvation. If you were to look back, what would you say? Do you know that your acts today will become your history tomorrow? The more reason why we have to be very careful of what we etch. 

This actually happens to Jacob - otherwise known as Israel in the Bible. One tells Joseph that he is sick. Joseph goes with his sons to check on his father but he already nears death. Being on the bed probably because of sickness and old age, Jacob picks the summary of his journey. He tells Joseph of the landmark memories in his life. 

He opens with the reaffirmation of the Abrahamic covenant by God to him. In his reference of Rachel, he reaffirms the love he had for her before Joseph and how she immaturely died by the way. For short, Jacob was saying, "I missed her. How I wished she was here to be part of this - to see her son and her greatness. Meanwhile, all is well." Then he proceeds to possess for himself Ephraim and Manasseh and blesses them. Later on, he blesses the tribes of Israel also.

A day will come when instead of pushing forward, we would revert backward. A time is coming when we'll near the end of our road. A time when we couldn't have gone further to make history but to thank God for the victories of the past, consider choices, reflect on our journeys and lives. 

For everyone who wouldn't have rested, he would be mandated to rest then. For ones with covetous eyes, you can't but confess that you have seen it all and you're now satiated. When it's our time to recall memories, may we have made ones that'll assure us of peace in good conscience. At last, may you sleep in Christ, bearing in mind you need to be born again now. 

PRAYER: Lord, teach me to remember You now and to live in Your will and fear.

BE COMFORTED!

II Corinthians 12:9, KJV

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

At times, we mourn when we don't know what is for us. We may even get to a juncture where we cry, "alas master, what shall we do? (II Kings 6:15)" That is because we haven't seen what is for us. And just like Elisha told his servant, we also need God to open our eyes to what is God's provision for us. Until then, we'll never align with God, exercise faith or have our mountain made strong. 

There are those who are mourning - crying and lamenting over one perceived weakness or the other. They are riddled with it and they know that unless the excellent power of Christ comes to rest on them, they can therefore do nothing. However, God is saying this morning for your comfort, "my strength is made perfect in your weakness." What that means is that my strength finds full expression when people don't know what to do, are limited by one thing or the other, look unto me for help and survival. It is at that time or instant that they have come to the end of themselves that my strength would go in to strengthen them. 

My strength appreciates and expresses itself to the fullest in the lives of weak, desirous and surrendered vessels. If you ever want to see God, take the state or status of being weak. You'll see God use His full power on your behalf.

God is saying, "look away from your own perceived weakness and put your trust in Me. Look away from what should have made you yourself and let reliance solely rest on what I can do."

At such a point, there is no end to what I can do. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. It is then, it can fully compensate for our shortcomings or problems and that is what is happening to some people today.

God is saying, you may be incapable but I am here to make you capable. Stop putting your attention on what is buffeting you or makes you inadequate. Rather, my strength is made perfect in your weakness. How can I best put it if not to give you assurance that God is attracted to your helplessness and weakness and He'll show Himself strong on your behalf. You know, if you want a vehicle to have a smooth travel, then let it journey on tiled roads. When the Lord says His strength is made perfect in your weakness, it means God works best when men think they are down and manifest strongly in glory by aiding or raising them up. 

Stop mourning. What the devil meant for evil is being turned for good. What should have put your back to the ground is now the springboard by which God is doing the mighty. Say to yourself, "God's strength is made perfect in my weakness."

PRAYER: God's strength is made perfect in my weakness. Glorify yourself in me.

I SAY THEREFORE DREAM!

I SAY THEREFORE DREAM!

God names the sky your own;

Rise and make it your claim.

Fly your plane without a second thought of its being down;

The stars are all yours to name.

Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name;

Believe that ye have it.

Will it not be yours?

Are you thinking my thinking -

That all things are yours?

If He has not withheld His son from us,

Will he not with Him freely give us all things?

Aspire for the highest height!

Reach for the farthest mountain top!

God's own reaches are everywhere. 

Does he not own the cattle on a thousand hills?

Dreamer, dream like water!

Blow into your balloon.

Describe to him how big you want it to be.

Enlarge it to the full of fullest,

And let Him bear you witness.

Look above you.

There's no ceiling on your head.

So, dream exorbitantly and outrageously.

All is at the expense of Someone we know

Exorbitant prices don't bother Him.

STRENGTH MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS 

II Corinthians 12:9, KJV

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Do you believe that God's strength is made perfect in weakness? Are you really sure of that? When the Lord reply Paul that His strength is made perfect in weakness, God isn't joking or playing. As a matter of fact, God was also creating a spiritual principle. "He who will be helped must be weak and full of surrender." Helplessness always draws the attention of God. If you're strong, you don't need strength again. If you're full, you don't need to be poured into again. However, if you're needy, God will draw near to quickly refill you. Such like you will command what God has to give. 

God tells Paul as a way of comforting him on the thorn in his flesh that He allowed, "my strength is made perfect in weakness."

Do you know what the word, "perfect" means there? It means my strength finds full expression in the lives of men who cannot do it themselves. Those are the people I seek to express myself through. Those are the people I seek to manifest through. Those are the people who cannot hinder what I want to do because they have their own ideas or preplanned activities. Weak vessels always take initiatives from God. Weak vessels don't depend on themselves or anything they have that seems to qualify them. Weak vessels don't trust in the arm of flesh. Rather, they take everything to God in prayer. Weak vessels understand their needs for God and what only He can do. They know their dependency is very much stated, leaning on Him. They know their state, status and estate. 

How I wished you'll understand that verse. Despite the revelations that Paul had attained, God had to allow a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet him and make him look ordinary before people when they see him in his weakness. God allowed suffering in his life to keep him humble but more importantly so that he may come to rest and trust in God's power, help and only what He can do. That's why Paul himself says, "most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Did you see? Even in that weakness or infirmities, he acknowledges that the passport to God's power resting on him is first of all having a dependency on God - in this case, an infirmity that would make him need God and be tied to God. 

But isn't it amazing that God's power is perfected or fully expressed in weakness and submitted vessels? The question now is what sort of vessel you are. Are you needy or full? Are you poor, disguising as rich? If you take the position of a vessel God can flow through, you'll see power that'll confound you and those who know you flow through you. 

PRAYER: I see the purpose for the infirmities, weaknesses and vulnerabilities in my life. In my sickness, need and dependency, let your strength be fully expressed and experienced in all.

TAKE ALL THE GLORY!

TAKE ALL THE GLORY!

You see, we are far from each other. 

You don't know where I am and I don't know where you are. 

None of us can see the other nor are we watching each other.

Meanwhile, never become unfaithful.

Never backslide even when no eyes see you. 

That came to my mind to share with us.

Afterwards, you'll need your faithfulness and integrity. 

A call will come to call you.

Your service would be required.

But don't be caught living as a compromiser before then.

You might have waited till now. 

You might have hoped for remembrance from those you trusted.

You might have pined for recommendation from certain men.

All might not have worked because the Lord wanted to be glorified.

When David killed Goliath. The Bible says, "and there was no sword in his hand" (I Sam. 17:50).

Why God has stripped you from all helps of men may be because the Lord wants to take the glory solely and doesn't want any man to reproach.

However, I'm hearing something concerning you - that your call will come.

The trumpet will blow for your sake and the gate and boulders shall be lifted for your sake.

Ancient doors shall be lifted!

The water is being troubled for your sake now. The cloud is dark, gathering.

I can sense all those and that's because something is about to happen. 

Joseph's call came after much waiting. The King of the people sent and loosed him. 

Psalms 105:19-21, KJV

"19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.  

21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance..."

Yours is here. You'll be set loose and brought into a large place.

See it!

Receive it!

God's mouth has spoken and so shall it be. 

So please, hold the fort both home and abroad.

I AM WEAK BUT THOU ART MIGHTY

Judges 16:28, KJV

"And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."

This verse brings a renewed memory of William Williams' hymn to my mind.

"Guide me, O my great Redeemer,

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but you are mighty;

Hold me with your powerful hand.

Bread of heaven, bread of heaven,

Feed me now and evermore..."

What is it like to be surrounded by the enemy? What is it like to stay and live in weakness? What is it to have the Holy Spirit out of one's life? What is it to be natural instead of being supernatural? What is it to have become impotent and disarmed instead of being effective and dangerous? 

One at such time becomes a toy on the playground of the enemy. Samson actually gets here. 

Judges 16:25, KJV

"And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars."

Did you see that? How are the mighty fallen? How's Samson reduced to a mere comedian? How's Samson made nonsense of? Here's a hero and fighter who strikes fear to the enemy's heart. Now, he's an object of derision. 

I guess he himself reaches a place of disgust and embarrassment. A place where he experiences his own devaluation first hand. He concurs that it's better to be Samson, the conqueror than the victim. The experience of Samson is such a fall from grace and he would desire not to have his life ended in disgrace. He would want revenge at least!

So, he returns to God. He'll rather crouch at God's doorsteps and trust to defy the enemy. On this note, Samson pleads that God will strengthen him once more. How true this is?

"We are weak but God is mighty." He needs to hold us with His mighty hand. We need to be armed. Weakness can do nothing. The arm of flesh will forever remain feeble. It can only appeal to the flesh, not the spirit. Weakness cannot do the work of the spirit. You need to be armed. You need to be clothed. You need to be wrapped and enveloped by a power greater than you. 

Samson knows what it means to seek for strength. He knows he doesn't have that to give. He knows whence it comes from and now he has turned there. Strength can make you run and not weary. When you are strengthened, you actually super-perform. A man that is strengthened is he who could go the extra mile. A man that is strengthened is he who could run with chariots and outrun it. How? Because God's hand has come on him (I Kings 18:46). 

When you're strengthened, you're inoculated to out perform. God's anointing is a strength enhancer. Where have you lost the anointing? May you be replenished this morning. May your cup be filled to its brim. May weakness disappear from your spirit, soul and body. May you become active and potent where you've been weak and incapacitated. May strength frees you into God's glorious liberty of performing. 

Are you sick or diseased? Are you hindered one way or the other from mobility? I declare, "receive strength!" Walk and begin to do everything that you couldn't do before. 

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for strengthening me. Thank you for the ability and new capacities.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO

FEELING HIS ABSENCE

Psalms 22:1, KJV

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?"

Have you ever been forsaken before? Take for instance a child who's being dropped in school on her first day. How would she feel? She'll feel forsaken. She wouldn't want to stay. She would want to go back with you. She's not used to those stand-in parents. She'll therefore cry for you. 

However, you have to smother your emotions to let her be. That happened to Jesus. There was a time God had to let Him be. God had to let Him learn obedience by the things He suffered. That time wasn't good on Jesus. He Himself felt what it meant to be forsaken or jettisoned. He knew what it meant to pray and have God turned deaf ears to it. All for the redemption of humanity. 

Jesus cried, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Mark 15:34). 

"My God, my God" shows He has a personal relationship with God, the Father. God is His God - His Father. But now, Jesus is crying and lamenting the absence of His Father. Like I said yesterday, once the Lord withdraws, you'll feel His absence. When the Spirit left Samson, though presumptuous, yet he couldn't perform like before. He therefore became touchable. 

"Why hast thou forsaken me?" This is a deep, painful and desirous lamentation to have God near. When what you expect isn't falling through, you may raise a roar even like Jesus wondering why you've been forsaken. This shows how important the God factor is to us. We are feeble and easily breakable without Him. 

And indeed, we can't do life alone. We need the fourth man in the furnace to join us. We need the accompaniment of the Holy Spirit. Else, we also might cry, "my God, my God, why hast you forsaken me?"

When you need God, may He be near. May we not be forsaken. Samson knows this and pleads with God to return to him and strengthen him that once. He used to know how it felt being with the Lord but it had been awhile since he felt or experienced Him. In short, the Lord was rare to come by. The Lord had left him at the moment he needed God because of his own disobedience. May your own disobedience not cost you. May the Lord not be far from you and you from the Lord. When you cry, may He hear your voice and grant you deliverance from on high.

PRAYER: Close to Thee Lord. No wandering from You. At the moment of silence, may I not sink.

A LONG HOLIDAY WITHOUT HIM

Judges 16:20, KJV 

"And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him."

How many of you have been on a long holiday without the Holy Spirit? You may not know what it means to be without the Holy Spirit until you are out of tune or relationship with Him. When you have suffered lack of intimacy, guidance or the leading that he offers and the joy that he gives to keep you going when things are rugged, you'll then esteem for once why it's very very important not to be missing in relationship/fellowship with God. 

What can we do without him? The Bible says, "in him we move, live and have our being"(Acts 17:28). If it's in him all things consist but he's no longer available to keep it together, don't you think losing it will step in. 

Asking Samson would do. Samson can tell us why we must not lose God. Samson can offer us pages of admonishments and the dangers that follow losing the Holy Spirit. You literally are alone! When the Spirit leaves you and you're alone, only then could you appreciate the Lord for His works in you and with you while your relationship persists with Him. 

When relationship is broken or fellowship is not consistent and you don't feel or sense the Lord as usual, you may be having a taste of what it means being without the Lord (not because he is still not yours). It may just be that he is silent. It is not good if the Lord leaves any man even for a minute. Even Jesus cried, "why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46). I tell you that you're vulnerable and could be exploited for that minute. If he leaves, you lose a defence and your personal encourager. 

No wonder Samson prayed that the Lord would return to him once more. He prayed earnestly because he had learnt by experience what it meant to have gone without God being on one's side. One basically becomes a 'sportsman' - a toiling or mocking object. It's like a man of skills who has now lost all his skills. He can't but be taken for granted and used for less honourable things. It's unfortunate when salt loses its savour. The Bible says it is no longer useful but to be trodden of men or disposed of. Samson tasted this first hand as he grounded in the mills and ran useless errands only meant for puppets but which are now forced on him because he has lost the anointing. He therefore prayed earnestly. You could see his yearnings in that request of his.

Judges 16:28, KJV

"And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."

Only at such times can you appreciate what it means for the Lord to be with you twenty four hours. Losing Him or a sense of Him gives nobody assurance but rather makes a vulnerable man or woman. On this note, seek to always have the Lord close. Let nothing affect your relationship with Him. Let fellowship be intimate, daily and often and the Lord will be close always and always. I pray for God's return to you. Where have you lost the Holy Spirit, as you ask for God's mercy and seek His face, you're also having His return now. May the Lord strengthen you once again. 

PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me once again. I am weak but thou art mighty.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO

IT IS THE SERPENT THAT BEGUILED ME

Genesis 3:13, KJV

"And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."

An incident that happened some years ago came to mind. I did something that wasn't very good and my heart judged me. I was convicted. Before then however, I was absolving myself. I caught myself giving excuses. Then the Spirit cut me quit. 

It was as sharp as a parent rebuking his son. What the Lord brought to my mind was Genesis 3:13 and immediately, I stopped in my tracks, stopped the excuses and took responsibility.

There are those who shift blames. There are those who if you allow will keep giving excuses. They know what they are doing. They only want to humour the situation from appearing less serious than it is and appease their own guiltiness. For that reason, they'll rather make a scape goat of another and not themselves.

That is irresponsibility of a sort. We must be frank with ourselves and must be willing to take the blame where we are wrong. Denial does nobody any good. What you deny, you'll live in its oblivion. Since it's not existing before you, you'll never take it seriously let alone seek to amend your ways on it. You'll call yourself alright. Whereas, you're sick, needing a doctor. 

I'm writing to parents also. God wants you to teach your wards responsibility. Someone who has mastered responsibility is also very accountable. When they are wrong and are approached to give an account, they quickly prostrate and accept the blame. This is one of the traits that reveals the humble heart of David. He doesn't argue or go into arguing when he is wrong. As soon as he sees it, he humbles himself. He feels truly sorry.

This is the heart we should all cultivate and instill in our children. Take no for an answer when something happens with the participation of your kid in what went wrong. God asked Eve, "what is this that you have done?" Eve is obviously afraid. She could only reply, "the serpent beguiled me and I did eat." In essence, she wanted the serpent to be treated as the culprit. 

In other words, Eve successfully gave an excuse. She shifted the bulk on the serpent. In truth, she was taking a cue from Adam. Before time, Adam had fallen into this same pit. When God asked, "Have you eaten of the tree which I commanded you not to eat of?" His response was, "the woman which you gave to me gave me the fruit and I ate." Both of them looked for ways to relieve their offence and make it look less than it appears. They pointed elsewhere. They didn't claim their mistakes. They didn't apologize. They didn't fall on their faces or become sorrowful at heart, seeking mercy. Rather, they all put up a defence as if they could win the Almighty!

This same trait is in all of us. It is in me and it is in you. I want to believe it'll be in your kids also. However, you must teach them to live above it and not succumb to it when they stumble. Putting up a defence doesn't solve what you undeniably participated in. Adam, Eve and the serpent all received just recompense for their defiance or cunning. Someone who keeps arguing in his heart that he wouldn't have done it if not that he was seduced hasn't taken responsibility yet. He hasn't come to the realization that he actually made a mistake. Irrespective of who prompted him on, if the case gets to court, he'll face the wrath of the law for rape, burglar, slander, libel or whatever he did wrong. 

Let us stop saying it was Satan that beguiled us whenever we slipped. This accusation will put us in relief mode to keep thinking of ourselves as inherently good when we need help. Sure, Satan could have done that. But everything is not always Satan. At times, it is our own lust. Your own fleshly desires. The Bible says, "then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death" (James 1:15, KJV). That's why it's important to think of things above so you don't fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Unless you hearken to this, you may do otherwise. 

The Bible says, "and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

You see, that is the lust of the eyes/flesh that got her. Did the serpent come to her? Yes! But she also played a role. Her role is what made it possible for the serpent to have a hand. If she had rebuked the serpent, it would have left to come back at another occasion. 

So whenever you help Satan to have a hand, you at all cannot be absolved. You're a co-participant and you should be ready to have your rebuke meted to you. So, stop the blame game and accept the role you played in landing that unfortunate outcome. Apologize and seek God's forgiveness for it and seek to act differently and become better next time.

So parents, don't let anyone veil your eyes with what looks like genuine excuses. If that boy or girl at home was a co-participant, please don't spare him/her. Let him or her give accounts. Deal with them! It is robbery and an act of dubiousness to blame everything on the serpent saying, "the serpent beguiled (enchanted, seduced, confused, cast a spell on you) which made you sin. Stop blaming your parents, siblings etc. The part you play is the most critical. So, let me ask, what part have you been playing? Good or bad?

PRAYER: Lord, help me not to assist the flesh against myself. I shall not fall under the seduction of Satan or the world. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 22:1–23:23, Acts 2:1–47, Psalm 122:1–9, Proverbs 16:19–20

DREAMER, DREAM DREAMS!

DREAMER, DREAM DREAMS!

Don't stop being a dreamer! What would we have been without dreams?

Without dreams, life will be unstimulating.

Without dreams, life will look scorched and unripened.

Without dreams, it'll look as if you have no life and you aren't living.

Even with dreams that are still in incubation, you'll feel rigorous, able and empowered - filled with the visions of tomorrow.

I know something that can inflate you with hope.

It is DREAMS!

When you are full of them, you'll not be tired easily when the roads are rough. You'll rather mount up with wings as eagles - always having renewed strength for every new day. 

It is those without dreams that give up.

It is those without dreams or that let it go that eventually get frustrated - saying, "I have no man to help me into the water."

When you have dreams and you hold onto your dreams, your dreams will become a force, pulling the necessary people and resources towards you in no time.

It'll look as if heaven and earth just came together to just manufacture such tailored help for you.

That's to the man with dreams - big dreams that fills him with rigour, vitality and strength to attack the new day.

Look, if your dreams don't die, you won't. 

If dreams still breathe and leap in you, you also will display excitement in your daily life.

Watch those without joy and hope.

Their dreams are dead. They have nothing to expect or hope for.

But I guess that's not you.

Therefore dream!

Dream of the days to come.

The tomorrow that you haven't seen.

The future that'll pay you off.

Dream of all the goodies and welfare you desire.

There's a power outworking in you that can do it.

Ephesians 3:20, KJV

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us..."

Let us make that verse to read like this:

"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or dream (think)..."

Mark the word, "think."

When you do, you actually DREAM!

Dream!

Go on and dream today.

Think of things.

Think of things that should be... and they'll be.

The dreamer will have his dreams!

I say it again, "you'll have what you think on."

Don't you know that? 

You should know there's a power working in you. It is God's to bring to pass your conceptions.

Don't stop dreaming.

When you dream, you already figure out the infrastructures that should be.

You already see the days to come that will come.

And then, your body will come under its spell - to actualize it and be that thing. 

Don't stop dreaming buddy.

There's hope for a tree that's cut down. If its stump is still in the earth, it'll sprout up again. 

Just at the scent of water!

M'Wings.

AM I NOT ABLE TO PROMOTE YOU TO HONOUR INDEED?

Numbers 22:37, KJV 

"And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?"

May you not come under pressure. When you come under pressure to survive or be accepted of people, then it'll be of no consequence to you agreeing to calls that come from Balaks. May you also not love the reward of iniquity. There's nobody who doesn't fall by it. 

You know the story. Balak would love Balaam to curse Israel so that he might be able to subdue them. That tells you something about what curses do. It subdues and shrinks spiritually so that the enemy might have an upper hand physically. This is exactly Balak's plan. However, God would not consent. When God came down to Balaam, His response to him was, "Who are these people with you? You shall not go with them. You must not curse the people because they are blessed" (Numbers 22:9,12).

This is how God defended the portion of Israel. Israel was not there to speak for himself but God did defend him. This is how God fights your battle behind you.

However, Balaam would want to go. It shows in how he falsely sought to twist God's hands until he secured His permissive will to go. Even when God obstructed him with the angel with the fiery sword, he still didn't fear nor run away for dear life when the ass spoke. Why? His heart has become seared. Through that repeated disobedience, his conscience has become callous and more deadened. His eyes were on the promised rewards. He was in pursuit of that. Meanwhile, God eventually allowed him to have his wishes on the ground that he would only speak for Him. 

But beyond all these, something innate is in Balaam that sincerely wanted to do what Balak asked for. He wanted to prove himself to Balak. He sincerely wanted to curse Israel; only that God obstructed him repeatedly (Numbers 23).

It is upon his meeting with Balak after several delays that the utterance we've been considering, "am I not able to promote you to honour indeed" was spoken?

And that's exactly why Balaam had been giving attention to come. When Balak sent his second errand to him; he bid them to woo him with these enticing words. 

Numbers 22:17, KJV

"For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people."

You see! It is that Balak reinforces when they meet by questioning, "am I not able to promote you indeed to honour?"

Any honour that doesn't come from God should not satisfy you. You shouldn't receive any honour in ministry, business or life that'll make you guilty at heart or one that always looks over his shoulders. Any help not coming from above cannot do you good in the long run. Don't come under the pressure to perform or be in the good book of anyone. Don't be a puppet to people - one who can be swung to perform just by the promises of great rewards. You are not a Balaam! Your needs are supplied and met by the living God! Yahweh Jireh!

You are God's child! You are God's minister! You are called to an obedient life. Any honour that God is not doing you isn't worth it. No God's honour will put you under pressure or have attached strings. Every honour that wants a commitment from you before disbursal isn't really an honour but a trap! Such will actually be to your downfall especially where God has expressly warned against it. Flee! Flee from it!

PRAYER: Lord, in this rapid and current moving life where hardship is everywhere, may I not remove my anchor from You! I shall not be enticed by the rewards of iniquity. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 20:14–21:22, Acts 1:1–26, Psalm 121:1–8, Proverbs 16:18
