MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
HE THAT SAID OVERTAKE WILL OVERTAKE FOR YOU
I Samuel 30:8, KJV
"And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all".
Don't be one of them. One of those who carry a step nonchallantly or presumptuously. Let it be that it is a step of instruction. A step of command which you're now seen obeying.
The truth is this, He who says overtake will overtake for you. When all was carted away, David enquired in order to pursue or refrain. He asked God if he should pursue and whether he'll overtake. God agrees to it telling him he'll have all those as his experiences. Now, the truth is this, that raiding party has long left and it is naturally difficult to decipher where they'll be. A three days journey separate both of them. However, He that says pursue and you'll overtake will always make provision for what His mouth has said in order for it to be fulfilled. This is the miracle that I love to see. This is the kind of miracle I want God to fulfill in your life so that what you hear God tells you is what you see performed sooner or later. May it be unto you just like He has said. That thing is a miracle and you'll experience one if He authors what you do.
From a "pursue and overtake" word of God to David, he sets out and God who initiated that journey begins to take thought for him. As they journeyed, they came upon a sick one who was brought to David and revived. This sick one is however a servant to the Amalekite raider who owns him and had raided Ziklag. You see, when God is taking thoughts for you, He'll put things at different junctures for you so that His intent for you might be fulfilled. People won't know they're there for your sake. They'll be serving God given purposes to you even when they might not see how they're doing that. They'll call it coincidence or accident that your path crosses with theirs but we know that that's God's providence and orchestration. It is destiny meet and not anything less.
What did this Egyptian say? That he's a servant to an Amalekite who had raided Ziklag and burnt it with fire but that his master had left him behind to die three days ago when he fell sick. Now, something seems not to be adding up. That Egyptian ought not to be found by David or his men alive. However, it didn't occur to his master that he could be the string by which they'll fetch him. If he had known, he would have executed him and not leave any trace behind. But it must come to pass that David pursued and overtook and recovered all. For this to happen, God made leverages for it to happen. One of such works of His is this Egyptian who had to fall sick, be left alone to die (and not murdered) but kept alive for three days and nights until he could serve the purpose for which he had fallen sick, had been left behind and forsaken to die of his own.
From there, David knew the way to this raiding party and caught them unawares. At the end, it was like God had told him. The Bible records this.
I Samuel 30:18-19, KJV
"18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
Imagine, "David recovered all".
It was as God had said unto him. People of God, let it matter to you that it is God who ordains your path before you. Let it be that it is He who authors the journey you take. Let it be that the words of His mouth are what you live out. Let it be that until He speaks, you don't move. It will be to your saving. If He authors it, you're bound to find it like He has said. Our problem may be laziness or little persistence to pray and find God's will that must be done. However, if before you run, you'll enquire, you'll be led, guided until the purpose of your enquiry is achieved. Yesterday, I told some people that God is an operator. In your journey, pursuit or journey of destiny, He knows what phase to kick-start next for you. He knows what plane to put you on next. As you near the completion of one phase, He'll anticipate and precipitate for your sake by beginning to put on ground another phase in which you must live and be carried. It is God who knows when one phase has ended in your life and when you must enter or kick-start another. So, He'll kindly make them unfold. As you're about taking the next ship to your next destination, you'll just see that it's easy. Things will just be possible. Like that Egyptian who was found at a needed time by David's men so that they might recover all - achieve their intent for launching out. In same manner, God likewise will put help, guidance and leading at necessary junctures for you. You'll just see that the opportunities to actually get that thing done is availed you but if you had tried that earlier, it wouldn't have worked. That would be because the timing was not right then though the purpose correct.
Look at me, I am Olusola ADEJUMO, M'Wings. I am not lying but rather saying the truth. This thing I'm preaching is what has happened to me and is happening to me. I have not only read it in the Bible but it is also my experience. It became it and I can testify that if you or any work you do or any mission you undertake is the direct birthing of God, He'll see to it all until it is fulfilled. This morning, I pray for you that God will put necessary helps, guides and leadings for you where they should be. You will find men where you should find them. You'll be blessed with the gift of men and women. You will find the next ship, vessel or transport system to take which will lead you to where God has destined. That Egyptian was that to David. That was the ship they took. When they needed that ship was when it appeared because God took thought for them and had arranged it there. That was when they crossed path with him. You'll meet things at junctures where you think, "but now, I need God to show up". I remember one day I left out to check for somebody. I was using Google Map for guidance to that described neighborhood and house and I was getting it. Just then, when I got to where the house is, I discovered there's another problem in locating that person. But just then, some two kids saw me outside and said, "you are this and that. Our mother told us about you. Come in. She's on her way". That other boy who talked was in Basic 5. I was shocked at how when I needed a help and guide to take me further, one appeared. I also wondered at why they could guess I was the fellow who was told them would come. They were expecting somebody in myself but I knew that's all they knew. Even when I later met with their mother, she told me I was considerably younger than she had imagined. She thought the fellow being recommended to her would be much older. I didn't mind however. I have heard that often about myself. So, I knew no one described me to those boys but I needed to be taken further. I must not be stranded. God must take thought for me and it's a sort of miracle that it was when I reached those boys could be found outside the gate as well. I don't take even minor things for granted. When the Holy Spirit is working for my good, I know. I'm not just trying to dedicate those accomplishments to Him. He created them!
Look at me, provision has been made for you. Things will play into your hands. It'll be so in order for all that God's mouth has said may come to pass. Believe this that at your next juncture you'll be taken further until you arrive and achieve the intent of ever launching out. You're a destined child. You can't get lost. You have a destiny that's written down already and must be like that unto you. You'll be carried. Fasten your seat belt. God's next transportation system is almost here. Get ready, get ready, you will travel and travel far!
PRAYER: Father, order my steps.
