MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
HE GOVERNS PHASES
Psalms 113: 7-8, KJV
"7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people".
Yesterday, I told you that it is at all not your responsibility to scheme your way into prominence or the limelight. Rather, let patience have her work and let the zeal of the Lord do it. We also saw that it's only what the Lord does that's marvellous in people's sight. Any origination or scheme of men is always fretted and doomed to be spoiled. As a matter of fact, that it's a man made scheme is what necessitates it for death. Instead of tarrying and lasting however, it shall crashland, skip and fail. And great will be its fall and failure!
Today, God wants me to reveal Him to you as He that governs phases. I, Olusola ADEJUMO M'Wings have known God personally and intimately as He that governs phases. Whenever a phase is about ending, God in His will and outworking will speed up and open up another. This is so that you might continue to progress, grow and go until you arrive at your large and wealthy place where you have room to fulfill or manifest all your intentions unhindered.
This revelation I'm teaching has so much become second nature and an embodied angel working for me so much more that I just see God hover over my situation, opening me up to new places and joining me to new people [that I'll later discover I should be in pact with] but without my having initiated it. The one that shocks me of all these experiences is how God can be mindful of a man two years down the line as to send somebody ahead of him to a place He'll one day bring that same man to. He'll just grant somebody an opening into an institution or give him a privilege to stand before kings. His own standing there in the overall plan of God is that through him, many sons will be called unto glory - their destiny. And so when the time comes, the only thought of the man up there would be to call or help that man who's waiting earnestly for the next phase of his life to kick-start but doesn't even know how, where or what to do of his own power to make it launch. Today, God is raising men for your sake. That's a reason why you should not envy anybody. Anyone who runs ahead of you is a viable and possible instrument in God's hands to open the door of where they have gone to you later. Thank God the butler serves in Pharaoh's presence and had himself reinstated. After two full years, God opened the door to Joseph through him (Gen.41:1, 9, 12). If your way pleases God and you're living His will (written and breathed daily), you'll see how much God will take thought for you.
It'll therefore be, before one phase ends, God has initiated another for you. Where next to be, I don't know specifically but I'm desirous to know and I'm open to the Holy Ghost on where He might lead me. That's how I live. I live expecting and waiting on Him. This way, I quickly progress and move on to obey when He speaks. This way, He takes thought over me too. He could see that I'm staking everything on Him. He knows I have become a worm (without a backbone) and that where He leads is where I'll go. Why won't He therefore precipitate and open to me what the next phase is? The next plane is waiting. The next train's ticket is ready. The man whose company you must next join will soon ride pass your way and like God told Philip, it'll be a call to "join his Chariot". On such occasion, there won't be any resistance at your proposal to him. Whenever you ask such man saying, "do you understand what you're reading?" The reply would be, "how can I except a man explains to me". You'll immediately be offered a seat beside them (not at their foot) that way because that's the Lord's doing that's always marvellous in our sight.
Acts 8:31, KJV
"And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him."
The Lord's act won't give you a blessing by demanding you to lose a virtue. God does rather without adding any sorrow. Today, believe God that as one phase is about ending in your life, another which is of necessity will start. You're in God's hands and He has planned your journey all through.
PRAYER: O God of Phases, open to me new doors.
