CARRY ME DEY GO WHERE BETTER DEY AND GREEN IS LOCATED!

CARRY ME DEY GO WHERE BETTER DEY AND GREEN IS LOCATED!

Your prayer, my prayer should be this song:

"My God, carry me dey go /2x

Anywhere better dey

Carry me dey go /2x".

That should be our song as it concerns the will of God for our lives. You should seek to do only one thing - God's will and pleasure. In doing that and seeing that His will solely is executed in your life, one major thing that you must do is to acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ over you. Once you do, it'll bring surrenderness so much more that your song will become that song above. 

You'll lose your own will and will pray Him to carry you on to where He sees and knows best. And I assure you that God sees best and knows best and if you'll give Him this right in your life, He'll lead you to a place you couldn't have discovered on your own. He fetches Paul Macedonia where things would happen for him (Acts 16). 

God told Elijah in I Kings 17:3-4, "3 get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there". You see, the Lord knows where better dey. He knows where it is located and He knows where things are happening.

Only the Lord knows your land and I tell you if you'll enquire of Him or let Him guide or lead you there, you'll discover the goodies that are there and praise Him in turn as He that has thoughts of good and welfare for you. 

Surrender! Just surrender! Let Him have a free hand of operation in your life. Let your fears assuage! Let Him fling, throw, sweep and send you to your land of operation. That land can't but be discovered to be flowing with milk and honey. You'll find better foods that you didn't ate in Egypt there. Your rest is scheduled for that land. That land will have and fulfill all your desires. It will give bread to your eater and seed to your sower. 

Psalm 23 is one of the powerful writings of the Bible. No wonder, it's that popular. Why is it popular? Because it encapsulates and encodes the leading responsibility of God that can become the inheritance or experience of any believer. It talks about the duty of God as a watching, caring and responsible shepherd over His flock. Read and chew all here and we shall see some things as the Lord will instruct. 

Psalms 23:1-6, KJV

"1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever".

It says, "the Lord is my Shepherd..." How many of you will identify God as that in your life? Do you know what a shepherd does for His sheep? He leads them first of all. It is this leading to where there's pasture that doesn't make them to be in want. Or else, they'll go hungry, suffer and die off. But God's leading which knows where better dey, where the field is green, where Rehoboth is and where fruitfulness will abound and where you'll be given ample room to discharge all the burdens of your heart is what solves that conundrum or economic tightness that any not led can find himself in. Only God knows that. It is in His mind and you can find it out or you pray and say, "I have no opinion of myself. You're the shepherd. You know the green field and where the gold mine is. Guide me there". 

Then, you'll be like a coconut on the sea that the water carries from one destination to another until it is washed on the shore where it can be planted, take root and germinate. But that wouldn't have happened if that coconut refuses to swim with the waves. Are you ready for the journey of destiny? It wants to kick-start now. 

Today, say, "my God, carry me on to where green is". Let me see those better days and plans!

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

MARKING OUR COMMANDED

READ Gen. 24

Genesis 24:7, KJV

"The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence".

There's another miracle that's mostly found or attached to finding it so (where you're given a description and you go but to meet it so). That other one is the miracle of commanding or putting men under command for your sake. I have taught this previously in a series but it's coming anew. 

I have loads of reasons not to doubt an inch that before the arrival of that servant of Abraham, God had to kneel Rebekah on her knees to receive Isaac. One of the things that amazes me is prophecy and consequently its manifestation and how God can start drawing a line here and connect it to another there. God can raise a man here and raise another there and make both cross path together. Shockingly, they may not have met and may even differ in race, tongue or tribe. It's the Lord's doing and it's always marvellous in our sights. We have rolls of testimonies upon testimonies on how God led or guided A to B yet B was not in unawareness of the fact that A would come. That's the God of prophecy. He's the only One who could draw an angle on a straight line in this manner. He gives A a word and He confirms same to B so that there'll be agreement when they both meet. Believe Him!

Abraham told his servant from the confidence of having walked and tarried with God that God's angel will go before him and help him in choosing rightly for Isaac. At the well, the fact that leading and guidance are not scam or fraud turns me from the inside out. That servant stood by the well that day and prayed. 

Genesis 24:12-15, KJV

"12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water: 14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master. 15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder".

Imagine brethren! That place says, "before he was done praying", behold Rebekah came out. Where was she hiding before? Everything looks as if it was planned, arranged and automated right? It can't but look like that and that's because something divine is now working and walking with this man who has gone to find a wife for Isaac. When God is with you, such is the destiny meet you'll have and experience. What Abraham said that an angel will go before him in reality is true. The manifestation of an angel having gone before him is what we are witnessing now. Despite the fact that he leaned the choice of who he wants Isaac's wife to be to the woman who will give him a drink and then water his camels (a very hard one), yet it was the right, chosen and ordained one that came. It's the one he'll be happy to go back with for his master that came. It is the daughter of Bethuel, a relative who shows up and not one who's not of the kindred of Abraham and so will be unfit according to the afore stated requirement (Gen.24:4). How well believers must know they must not be unequally yoked! Rather, we marry our kindreds in faith. 

What sort of life is this? A miraculous life. This man didn't stoop low. He lifted his bargain higher. He inflated the price on who to Isaac's wife will be. He didn't stop at she who will give him a drink but she who will water his camels also. Ten camels for Christ's sake! I agree with giving a man a drink. He won't even finish a gallon but what about 10 solid camels who had journeyed and of surety are thirsty. I'm sure those camels have even used up most of the storage of fat and energy in their hump and now they're all craving for replenishment. Who is that born well lady except one under command from the Lord (chosen and ordained) who will agree to such demand when there's no prize obviously at sight. Nobody! I am sure. Except she that God has commanded and appointed. The fact that such has been commanded or secretly afore spoken to by God is revealed in how without argument, they are prepared to do hard things for your sake. It is only a request from Abraham's servant to Rebekah that got the job down. She agrees to give him a drink and then volunteers to give his camels. 

Genesis 24:17-19, KJV

"17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher. 18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink. 19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking".

Mind you, though this servant prayed to God that service would be extended to his camels by that chosen fellow yet he didn't request that of Rebekah specifically. It was Rebekah who volunteered herself for that. What else proves she's under God's command and is an answer to Abraham's desire for Isaac?

Imagine a man adopt a child and gives him the best just like he's giving his biological children, so much more that differences couldn't be read between them. That man even if he didn't hear any audible voice was softened or spoken to by the Lord and put under such obligation. This is why I don't worry. This is why I don't turn to all persons for help. I only go to those commanded for my sake. I only pray to be led or guided to them. Even if you make overwhelming demands on them (not because of covetousness) but in order to prove God who has sent you to them, you'll see them rise to meet it. Look at how God met the need of Abraham's son. As if Abraham knew it, he had said God's angel would go ahead of them to make the journey prosperous and so it is. Rebekah so much comes under God's spell and command that she wouldn't even agree with her brethren to tarry some days before departure. While they were advocating for her, she rather refused and chose to go immediately with a total stranger (Gen.24:57-58). Now, I'll say irrespective of where you are, live or stay, God can send you to who to marry, befriend (as in normal friendship) or to submit to (as in father-son relationship). I want the relationship I have with people be the type that's ordained of God and not the type that people choose friends based on perceived reasons. I want to be ignorant of a fellow yet finding God knitting my heart with his and vice versa. This is how  Markson Etta Lane Timothy Benson (Missionary to the Cameroon and Calabar) and I met in Nigeria Christian Corpers' Fellowship in Kastina. It began as a relationship of a father to a son. I coached him in the things of God. I just observed that he admires me though older than I. Something about me (the anointing I sure know) attracts him and so he sticks to me. Even other corp members would fondly call me Elijah and call him Elisha. On this note, he opens to all I have to say and so I was able to instruct him in much. Not knowing he'll even go into ministry later, I told him of Zacharias Tanee Fomum of Cameroon who has the ministry of mission, fasting and praying. Just in a year, this young man found himself in that ministry and has been there since then. But today, our relationship has sweetly evolved. We are now friends. He's my covenant friend and brother. He's one of the few on earth's surface who could call me now and I'll exercise myself for and vice versa. 

People of God, the message I bring to you is that of destiny, destination and the ordainment of paths. It ain't joke. It works like fire when God is involved. You'll meet yours. The patronage Spirit of our tribe - the Christian tribe shall ensure you meet your Rebekah for marriage, business, friendship, fathering etc in the name of Jesus. Whenever you meet the commanded, they're always under command - ready to do God's bidding even if they don't look commanded. Markson is the least I physically observed to open up to me and I'm too lean and physically deprived in stature to have been esteemed a prophet. However, we collided, we met; deep called unto deep and so we remain. To this end, I say HALLELUJAH! Let God work out relationships for you or else they'll be those of sorrow and pain to you. The God who spoke through Abraham that an angel would go ahead in choosing a wife for Isaac is He who must have secretly persuaded Rebekah of acceptance of an Isaac that she has never seen before. Whatsoever God does is straight. Don't add to His work lest He rebukes you and don't remove from His act lest you're proven a liar. Apart from prophecy being made manifest (like the servant met Abraham's words so), your path shall cross with the commanded. Those who will stick closer than a brother. Those who could risk all for you. Those who will submit in surrenderness and say, "I am the handmaiden of the Lord. Be it unto me according to Your (God's) word". Such are always Mary in obedience. 

PRAYER: Father, ordain my path with those critical to my destiny. I become Mary at heart and in obedience. Kneel people for me.

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.

AS THE EXODUS SHIP NEARS - At Old Age Series 002

Read Ecclesiastes 12

Ecclesiastes 12:7, KJV

"Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it".

I pray for you today that you'll be led and be guided to where food has been made ready for you. I'm not talking of physical food but something that's spiritual that God seeks to connect you with or ensure you gather which if you miss might result in a permanent shortage or even damage of your destiny. There are places we must be at particular times. Where the carcass is, there the vultures will be. How did they strike such accuracy? These are ordinary birds and if we'll humour them, we'll call them scavengers or birds of carrions but they have perception. They could smell their provision and by such seek to have an immediate connection with it. I pray for you, receive special awareness. Be sensitized. Let the spirit that discerns times and knows what one must do come on you. Stumble into where it is happening even if it'll be unintentionally. Be driven to a particular place of destiny. Have destiny encounters and meet with those who will assist your destiny and impart you with God's portion on them (as ordained by God) for ministry, family and career wise. 

He lives in North Germany where his parents are. He had lived in Hamburg before transition to Frankfurt as well. He had just completed his studies and is now returning back to Germany. They took trains in those days and not flight. His train however arrived around early. This avails him a lot of time at hand. Having little coins left, he decided to go for sight seeing around London. So, he went from bus to bus not even knowing where the buses were going. He was just doing bus hoping. He was criss-crossing the whole time. 

Then, he thought of the need to walk and stretch himself. So, he began to trek for the sake of exercise. As he walks into the residential area, he passed by a residential building with a name plate reading "George Jeffreys". 

"I know of a man called George Jeffreys. He's the one who brought the gospel of signs and wonders to UK. Could he be living here?" No, he concluded. He was just 21 at this time. His mind told him, "but this is London, there must be many Jeffreys and tens of thousands of George alike". But a voice told him, "you've got a lot of time to kill. Why don't you check?" So, he rang the door bell and a woman came out. He asked if it was Jeffreys' house. She said, "yes". "The same Jeffreys God used to bring the gospel of healing to Britain? May I see him?" "No" was the answer! However, he heard a deep voice from inside saying, "let him come in". So, he did. He didn't even know the man was still alive. So, he began to introduce himself. "I am Reinhard Bonnke. I am called to preach the gospel in Africa. I just finished Bible College..." As he does this, Jeffreys fell on his own knees and then dragged him down also. He puts his hand on him and blessed him repeatedly. The glory of God filled the house. After about thirty minutes, he staggers out of that place trying to find the bus stop. 

So, he began to question how it was possible to have stumbled on a man he does not know was still alive. He got into a night train and went back home to Germany. The dad picked him up at the train station and said to him, "Reinhard, I just heard in the news that George Jeffreys is dead". Bonnke replied, "it can't be. I still met him yesterday". It was then Bonnke knew that he had gotten a mantle and that the Holy Spirit had guided him to that place. There's a place we must be, men we must meet and impartation we must partake of. Thank God Bonnke cooperated and moved every inch of the way as he was being prompted. You see, you don't have to know the details before you obey. If you're waiting for that, that'll be bribing and nothing will be miraculous or glorious in that at day's end. It is what the Lord does that can only be marvellous in our sight. This experience of a man's steps being ordered to meet another is. It leaves me with the import that there's a mighty hand behind the global scenes and world map that moves us like chess pieces for the fulfilment of His own grand will. Imagine how a man who God has marked for use in his own generation met another and got connected to a flow and grace that has been before him. See how God impart his fullness by crossing Bonnke's paths with Jeffreys. The most shocking is that Jeffreys was slated to leave the earth soonest. His exodus ship nears arrival but Jeffreys must also pass the baton. God answered two persons' prayers: Jeffrey's and Bonnke. It's the intention of God that there'll be a safe transfer of graces so that ministration might not end with the former minister. And I can witness, it's the joy of fathers to release as it's the joy of sons to catch. Did the Bible not say in Titus 2:3-4 that, "the aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children".

If you look at that instruction, you'll see God is concerned about flows from those who have been doing it to those who will do it. We have the aged women and the young women. This is how continuity is achieved in every generation. Some are newbies of their vocations and they have not learnt God very much nor how to walk with Him. Some of them in ministry or business might even lack the major ingredient needed to succeed but by connecting, such ingredient is given and received. Training changes lives and prepares us for destiny just as impartation hastens and enables us to be able to discharge in the same effect those before had have.

Thank God Reinhard Bonnke didn't miss this preparation of heaven for him. Thank God the food of heaven was not wasted. They baked it for him and at the time he should break this bread and eat, he ate. It is this impartation amidst other renewal and refreshing he ran with until he also took his own exodus ship out of the earth. All of us will have our opportunities. Thank God he was on time. Thank God He came in when he should. Do you know one thing I have observed? There's no one God has a great future for in a field or vocation that God won't introduce or bring to the presence of fathers of such field. One way or the other, they'll just have open doors to meet them (even when it's not intentionally arranged). What others that God has not earmarked for destiny in that field are looking for earnestly, God will fling it open to them by divine providence. Before the exodus ship leaves, what are the ingredients you should collect from those God has given it to? What is the impartation that must take place? God is seeking to bring you into alignment. Don't be disaligned. I tell you, it is the joy of fathers to give if there's ever a curious child to receive. 

PRAYER: Lord, I throw myself at You. Carry me and lead me on until I arrive at junctures of destiny meet. Ordain my path before me.

GET YOURSELF DOWN THERE - The Commanded Series 005

I Kings 17:8-9, KJV

"8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee".

What a thing! God told Elijah to get himself down there. You're asking, "down where?" He says, "get thee to Zarephath..." People of God, may I tell you that we can move any time. We're not tired of packing or relocating? We are nomads not because we lack purpose but because we are administered citizens of God's State. We don't stay back when we have express words on us saying, "get thee to Zarephath". Immediately, we always set sail away from Brook Cherith. We move. Yes, we always move. If He has ordained Zarephath, to Zarephath we will go. 

I pray for you, may you have ears that hear. May you not become so deafened or occupied so much that when God is taking thought for you because of a state of emergency that He has seen, you're yet not moving even when He has said, "get thee to Zarephath". What a shock that God had spoken to Abraham and he still stays back and rested in his native land (Gen.12:1). What an open defiance!

We should never be comfortable somewhere or be overtaken by inertia. This would be danger that we may not be able to count its cost. If you're settled somewhere now and it seems you're comfortable there and would like to continue there, it should never become your decisive will to stay back the moment you have a command, an issue over you to get out of there. When the brook dried, God knew Elijah may soon become the victim of his own prophecy but God is quick to make distinction between his own and the wicked. Even other prophets were fed fifty fifty by Obadiah (I Kings 18:13). But here's a Christian who must not go hungry. He's solitary but God is with him. By God's word, He's now being given a new command. Though the brook has dried and Elijah could see that yet some Christians would still have told God to find a way round it for them. If God says, get thee out of there, it means no bargaining. It is get thee out of there. Don't become Lot's wife who won't let the past go but rather mourn and behold in reminisce what she is leaving behind. The decision of such people to remain or stay back always lead to their ruin. Lot's wife if investigated didn't want to go. She has become comfortable. You know, they've acquired properties and it seems that's all (Gen.19:19-26). 

Don't stay back at Brook Cherith. Almighty God, save me from myself. May I not be caught dead where you've left. May I not backslide because I've just missed steps with You. May it be that I follow you to the scouted land as you go before me. Never be comforted by any good that you're experiencing now not to continue with God when He's ordaining it. You may have the best of job somewhere, if God is calling you to get yourself out of there, it is for a reason. If you're a disciple, you won't count the cost. You'll know that what will be at stake if you stay will be more than what you'll enjoy. Get thee out of there brings to me a remembrance of war or violence torn area. Even if you're a missionary in such place, God can give you such "get out of there" command before the event start affecting you. No government or system of any nation is as wise as God. Do you know there'll be those that God would have commanded to leave some current war torn areas before the war began? Show me one nation that had such foresight as to send to bring all their citizens out of such places in Europe or Africa (as it's happening) before the events start happening. You see, divine leading makes all the difference. I believe government of nations should be this connected to the Divine so they can protect the interest of their citizens on the surface of the earth. The government must be spiritual. However, the vine from which I'm His branch won't forsake me without notice until the event is at my nose. God forbid!

Some may love losses than benefits anyway but I don't want to be broken or violated (by things God can allow to beat me because I'm in disobedience and out of tune with Him). Did that angel not say He could have killed Balaam (Numb. 22:33)? You see, what should be for his protection now faces him with judgement because he's in violation of God's will. So, if you're reading this and God is saying, get thee out of your country to another or stay where you are, don't refuse in order to protect a stand or vow you've afore taken. There are people who might have seen how the bastardization of travelling abroad has become in their own country and who out of love for their homeland would confess not leaving it to stay elsewhere. Out of such incident, he may confess to be different but this may be his very trap when God calls him out. He'll refuse to acknowledge the call because he won't want to be shamed before those he had said same. Look, if you're of this type, it means you're not humble. Someone who's humble will acknowledge his error to those his friends and obey God who's calling him out. I won't lose my anointing because I'm refusing to acknowledge an error I committed. 

Elijah heard, "get thee to Zarephath". That instruction is a command but a quick command for a quick launch out. Tarrying where God has left is danger. Over the years, I have known and said there's no other safe place except where God tells you to stay. If you go abroad and it's not God's doing, despite their welfare, you'll easily be opened to a ten thousand killer than being in a country where there's massive lawlessness. Natural disasters in their types occur frequently and kill droves there easily than Africa of lawlessness. So, which place is secure? No place actually except where you're told to stay. Look, I'm in Nigeria and in a particular place in Nigeria. I don't covet anyone where they are or another land that may be yielding good. As long as I have clear conscience and testimony that I too haven't missed God and I'm where I should be, I know I can't keep an appointment with what will take me out. Mark that! If you go on an errand for any reason outside the initiate of God or destiny, you can die even in the best of places. So Christian, you're not tied down to any place or any one who has become your temporary means of supply. You're only tied to God. He's the only permanent Father in your life. If He says get thee to somewhere, let me warn you that it's dangerous spending the night again in such place. As far as God is concerned, the glory cloud has moved and once it moves, tell me what would be your shelter. God gives a vision to Paul of where to go after suffering much on where to go. Immediately, they sought to leave behind their comfort zone. 

Acts 16:9, KJV

"9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.  

10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them".

Did you read, "immediately, we endeavoured to go into Macedonia". I will get myself to Zarephath. Where He commands us is where we'll go. You may hear we've changed address tomorrow and that's not because we want to be slippery, mysterious, surprising or unpredictable but because we have an Administrator whose hand is the only thing that moves us. Look, it is not incentive. Green pasture would be the least because we know any land we are can become green for our sake. Why? We're ambassadors. What we spend and live on is not determined by the economy we live in but the one from which we are sent. 

PRAYER: Lord, I submit to Your will on my transportation in life.

GET THEE TO ZAREPHATH! - Lead and Feed Series 013

I Kings 17:8-9, KJV

"8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee."

May I ask what the instruction was? Where was he told to get to? Why was he told to get there? Will getting there make any difference? Will restraining not matter also? People, welcome to another day. The Spirit is ready to wing you God's word. Let's travel on Morning Wings so that we might reach the uppermost end of the sea (which would be manifested in reaching the peak of our destinies on earth). 

God expressly spoke to Elijah and no fellow could even deny His telling him, "get thee to Zarephath." There are those who deny instructions. Joab did and he was confronted for denying an outright instruction of the king that should be weighty to him (II Samuel 18:12). Today, I want to show you why some still suffer though God has destined that they should be led and fed. The Lord is their Shepherd and is now coming to begin to feed them but by first issuing them instructions as to where and how to be fed but they seem deafened, non-challant and reluctant leaving the familiar they've known for the unfamiliar God is commanding. Let me tell you, you'll suffer much and make the Scripture that says, "the young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but those that seek the Lord shall not suffer good things" void by this your disobedience (Psalms 34:10). God said irrevocably and with every sense of responsibility to Elijah, "get thee to Zarephath." Listen, that was the responsibility of Elijah to see to. God knows where it's happening, where the next move is, where the cloud has gathered and where the carcass is. He only leads to where the green pasture is. The fact that there's "green pastures" means there are "brown or dry pastures" also. That's however not fresh meal. God desires you feed on the choicest meals of Zion if you'll be willing and obedient but if you'll become reluctant and afraid of what is ahead because you don't have all the details, you'll fall into want and suffer needlessly. That's why God is saying, "I have a solution. You, get yourself to Zarephath (outside the country, to another city or town in your country, to another job, to your friend's or pastor's house, the garage, the square, that restaurant) etc. There, I have commanded somebody to feed you (see to your sustenance). There, I have commanded your path and your helper to cross. That means, unless you're there, that provision can't be uncovered. You may not know the fellow but on getting there, identification would happen. The gravitational pull that happened at the valley of dry bones that drew bone to bone would pull you to the recognition of each other. You'll be locatable and both of you will come into agreement like Elijah and this widow did. Things are scheduled for locations and settings. If God is saying, "go and apply to that place because I have commanded you to be employed and sustained there while you're reluctant, if your brook dries, you'll suffer. Unless Elijah goes to Zarephath, that prophecy of being fed can't come to pass. His miracle is geography bound. His feeder is in Zarephath and not Syria. How many people has God appeared to in this manner who have wasted His instruction and are suffering for same needlessly? You've undone yourself. Lack of trust in God and fear of the unknown is costing you. You want God to tell you everything once and for all instead of being led a step at a go. You're joking. That wouldn't be faith again. God said, "get thee to Zarephath." Did you see any immediacy and urgency in that instruction also? It was even a command. Having received such instruction, it becomes sin for its holder to tarry or spend the night even where God has departed from and is commanding him to depart from also. As a matter of fact, if you're still where you should have departed from (at God's command), anything could kill you there. All the things that God's hedge of protection afore shielded you from while you were obeying God (by abiding where He first commanded you to stay) could now kill you. Why? You're in disobedience. This could open a crack in your hedge of protection. This is because while God has moved to Zarephath, you're still at the Brook Cherith. God has said, "get thee out of your country but you're still established there like a mountain." I bet it with you, what couldn't kill you before until that instruction could kill you now. Rumours of war, banditry, terrorism etc that you never esteemed previously could now break through your hold and make you unsettled.

God is saying to someone, before you and I could even revisit what I've told you and intended to make of you, "first of all obey, leave Brook Cherith (where you are presently) and depart to Zarephath (where I've commanded you should be). Until then, no second talk. I praise those who heard God and left for abroad or a new territory especially where there's no familiar face or a consciously prepared place for them at arrival. I mean those God sent there without having assurance of a system or person catering for their needs upon arrival like a student who get a full scholarship to study abroad. Such people would pack like Abraham and go where they've not been, only trusting in the God of their prophecy, Who will now ordain their path with the appointed helper. God has spoken to many like this without details of what's next. They only trusted. That's why God also is not ashamed to be called their God. If they've so much followed Him commitedly, He ought manifest to them commitedly. I'm hearing, "stop and get thee to Zarephath." In God's mind, you know where Zarephath is. The instruction is therefore not mysterious. As a matter of fact, you know how to get there. So, nothing seems too demanding but may disobedience not cage you and finally cost you.

PRAYER: Lord, make me obedient at heart. Let me hear you once and acknowledge with action seven times.

HE MEETS THOSE IN CONTEMPLATION - Lead and Feed Series 012

Read Matthew 1:18-25

Matthew 1:20, KJV

" 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife..."

I said yesterday by the great stirring of the Holy Ghost that, "God would meet you as you carry at heart the burden to please Him. He'll come clear and clean to your aid on which path to take." God wasn't joking. The Spirit is destiny minded. God will meet you. If you've been so submissive to be led, do you think He'll withold? As you wait, you'll see His appearance. Until then, one can't but still be confused or unsettled with light doubt and least assurance on one's inside. Also, you'll be afraid stepping out in total conviction because there's a part of you beeping to remind you that you've not carried Him along. When we do however, He watches which way for us.

Joseph, the step dad of Jesus is a very just man. Having discovered that his fiancee is pregnant, he wouldn't have none of that and I'll say no man or woman should have none of that or continue in relationship with someone caught red handed in the act of fornication or with proofs of it. So, he secretly decided to break off from her. Being a just man, he had decided not to make her a scape goat. He assured himself He'll do it quietly. He won't even tell a friend or spread her infidelity around as to cause her shame, destroy her image or parents'. But as he contemplates on all these, a thoroughfare opened for a divine visitation. His thoughts which had reached the peak of a burdened heart  were signalling heaven unknowingly. "Contemplation" means to think or ruminate on. You let things mix together inside you before acting the finally decided one. It shows the deliberateness of a thinking man (of process and thoroughness) who won't like to live a life of error leading to regrets. Nothing is taken at face value. They're all esteemed and carefully thought on. It is this byproduct that becomes an answer to act on. But I also know a better answer beyond the processed result of contemplation. It is divine guidance. As Joseph's contemplation continues over time, something unplanned and even unsolicited for in prayers happened. He was met in his dream. An angel told him otherwise, gave him reasons for it and encouraged him to have Mary for himself.  Look at God. He sees our innermost thoughts. Our thoughts are loud before Him in the throne room. Joseph didn't pray. He was only pained, burdened, carrying the matter in His heart in order to be able to divide correctly on how to act. He was seeking for sense in the nonsense on ground and somehow he was losing his sense. That was all until the Balm of Gilead came to soothe him. He was met without shooting an utterance in prayer to God. Only contemplation! Yes, just rumination!

Look, as you mix and weigh that matter in your heart on either to do this or that i.e leave for abroad or stay (if it has finally become hot as to shoot steam to heaven); God will meet you. I have proved God. I'm not teaching what has never been rehearsed. God indeed answers thoughts and contemplations. I therefore entreat on your behalf now, let your contemplations draw God to you in Jesus' name. Over what you're beginning to go mad, yet trying to cover up, may God meet you. Have God meet you in your desperation, confusion over choices, weariness and doubt. He isn't a robot as not knowing your feelings. All touches Him. So, He sympathises with you. That's our High Priest. He so much sympathized and cared for Joseph as to show up at his juncture of confusion and decision. Behold, I see Him coming to give you discerning, distinctive and enlightening communication on what has been your contemplation, heart burden and thought. The Lord will not stop being your shepherd. He guides till the day is dawn.

PRAYER: Let the meditation of my heart draw your attention Lord. Behold my hollow and let my bitterness be swallowed.

WHEN SHOULD I LEAVE? - Lead and Feed Series 011

1 Kings 17:7-9, KJV

"7 And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath..."

There are those who in the course of this teaching have really developed a dependent heart on God and won't want to act except He wills it. Such are sincerely crying, "when should I leave, God?" They could see that something is wrong and that it is not usually like before again; dryness has now taken over and with much coverage like darkness was seen covering the face of the deep (Gen.1: 2). Experiencing first hand such situation this way is now causing a desperate cry in them as to whether they could leave. They want to know. To their minds, since things have become dry and the brook where they're taking their living from is waterless, they should leave. However, they're still here in the court of court to hear from the Shepherd whether or not to leave. 

Elijah wouldn't have left for Zarephath first of all if the brook didn't dry up. Economic recession, bankruptcy or inconsistency of one's workplace etc may be reasons God could leverage on to instruct one to leave. Mind you however, there's no situation that surpasses God. If He brought honey out of the strong (lion) and water out of the desert, it means God could still have you stay in that parched land yet see to your continuity. That's why even at the face of seeing that everything has dwindled down and everybody is leaving (while you seem alone), you must still like Saul of Tarsus ask, "God, what would you have me do (Acts 9:6)?" That's a question of disciples and any who's not wise in his own conceit. Doing this will make God delighted and relevant in your life. He'll see you as one who indeed prioritises Him and really wants to be led to where pasture is and the next event is slated. This means you're not leaning on your own understanding. In such case, you'll always hear a voice instructing you on which way to go.

Even at the discovery of Elijah that it has finished for the brook, he didn't still leave because he had not heard what God would have him do. God could have told him like He told Isaac, "still stay in the land." Isaac sowed in that same famine afflicted land and he reaped hundredfold (Gen. 26:12). God could tell you to still dwell in that economic depressed, war torn, banditry, terrorism, corruption etc afflicted area. He has a thing to bring out of there. God told me some years past, "there's no where that's safe on earth except where I tell you to stay." That's if indeed you know God and do hear Him without falsehood. Canada they say is safe but Nigeria for now is safer for me because God has not changed my location. Nigeria becomes unsafe to indwell the moment God told me to "get down to another place" while I'm still holding back here. So, when can you leave indeed? While dryness and dwindling may be a sign, it is inconclusive. You're not permitted to leave until God comes having researched for you and tested what would be in the future as to instruct you whether to leave or stay. For Elijah, he was to leave because at the observation of the dried brook, God's Word came saying, "get thee to Zarephath." So, I'll say, open your heart to God. Take a humble, desirous heart position which wants to hear from the Shepherd before any action. It is then you can hear a voice behind you. It is then God would give you a dream, vision, trance or spur you by inner witness to action even without praying at times. Many times, I just carry in me a burning desire, one that's aflame over a particular incident. Without any utterance, I'll experience God meeting me. God do meet people. I want you know that and I pray He'll meet you as you chew, contemplate and decide what or what not to do. In your rumination, you'll hear God. He'll come clear and clean for you. Since it's your utmost priority not to move until He has decided for you, He'll come riding on the wings of the cloud to offer you direction to your Bethlehem (house of bread). God's peace I leave with you today. Shalom!

PRAYER: Lord, lead me out of parched land or give me strategy to live on and survive in it.

THE CONFESSION OF TRUE CHILDREN - Lead and Feed Series 003

Psalms 23:1, KJV 

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Who does, "the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want" really works for? Drivers on the highways who aren't even born again but inscribe it on their vehicles or the heathen and Christians who have not even made the Lord their shepherd? Who does it really work for? It is high time we began seeing "the Lord is my shepherd" as an instruction and not a confession first of all. The only category of people who are permitted to confess Psalm 23 are those who are disciples. I mean those who are so meek as to enquire and receive daily instructions on how they should live their lives. Whenever such Christians say, "the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want", he's only affirming his position and what he already had subscribed to. Already, he's born again. Yet, this man would pray to find out what God wants of him per time. He doesn't go to school because others are going. He won't marry because he's of age and has money. God must give him a "ram" to prompt him to action. An "Eve" must be brought him at the observation of God that he shouldn't be lonely again. So, he does each act at the command of God. God must first be his eyes. He must watch out for him. It is then the whispers of God to him whether he could launch or not will now become the instruction that guides him and which people will see his body acting out. A Christian isn't an impulsive actor but a guided actor. Many are today and they have accidents and several breakdowns for it. "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." Think it well. Don't accuse God and claim Him to be a role player of what you haven't relinquished your position to make Him. If your whole time and life is not in God's hands, every time you confess this, you lie and accuse God. 

Psalms 31:15, KJV  

"My times are in thy hand."

That becomes sin since He isn't the administrator of your life - One from Who your acts stem from . When you say somebody is not who he is in your life, you lie and lying is sin. So, refrain from vain confession. I'll like you know that one thousand confessions of Psalm 23 won't offer you leading except you work it practically first of all. I laugh at what Christianity  has become and how idiotic so many people are. They're using heads instead of their hearts. Everything that could glorify God is what they're substituting because it rhymes and fit with what they naturally want. Is it not easy to profess? But, how easy it is to submit to another man's will for one's life? Don't we know how many calls Him "Lord, Lord" yet who He didn't know and would deny at day's end? How many people are so meek enough like the arrested and broken Saul as to ask, "what will you have me do?" Once you get here, you're beginning to make God your Shepherd. He knows what you should do and the path you should take, He'll show and direct you in there. This is where you say, "not my will but Yours." However, how many Christians operate this? That's why their lives are full of mockery and it seems unbelievers are proving biblical principles wrong that could have given them the good life and made them a testimony to the world. 

If I say "the Lord is my Shepherd", the Shepherd will hear. Why? I have esteemed Him first as that role player in my life. We wait until we hear him on matters. If he's not speaking, then we pray more. So, the confession of  "the Lord is my Shepherd" is just an ignite or a prayer of remembrance to call God to the task and responsibilities of who I have taken Him to be in my life. You have not submitted to Him as Shepherd yet you want the deliveries of a Shepherd? You've not submitted to Him as Lord yet you call Him same. What a mockery! Is that how by force you father and impose yourself on those children who do not receive you as a mentor first of all? Won't you be infringing on their rights? If you're married and you say, "Alice is my wife", that confession isn't vague or vain. She is because both of you have exchanged vows. You're only reaffirming what is known because you want Alice show off or answer like a wife. And she will because she owes you an obligation of a wife. She'll come around and greet her in-laws and they'll relate as one. You aren't confessing publicly what you don't know existed first of all but there's a madness I have seen, "it is calling God Who people have not allowed Him to be first of all in their lives." Who will make Him Lord and Shepherd? You. Be a doer and not he who looks his face in the mirror now and forgets what he looks like in a second. Let it be known that God is your shepherd by how you rely on Him to guide you. Act it before speaking it. He'll indeed take over.  

The relationship between couples make them answer to each other, so also is "the Lord is my Shepherd" a triggering device to seeing the acts of the good Shepherd. We only use that to summon Him since we've been obedient and submissive to Him as our Shepherd. If you've not, you'll never for once see the good acts of the Shepherd. You'll rather go your own way and experience what it means to be a wanderer. The Lord is my Shepherd is first an instruction that must be binding on any who don't want to be in want. If you indeed submit to God as your guide and you take Him  for same indeed, you obligate Him to see to your wants. Honour God that way first and see Him honour your wants. Lips honour isn't honour at all. Pay it with acts. 

PRAYER: The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. I trigger the pact that's between us. Remember Lord. Come on scene and meet my needs.
