Long Life and God's Salvation Oreoluwa ADEJUMO (M'Wings)

THE COMMANDED IS THE COMMANDED EVEN THOUGH HE QUESTIONS YOU

Mark 11:1, KJV

"1 ...he sendeth forth two of his disciples, 2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him. 3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither".

I looked at Jesus and I resorted at a man who lived the ordained and the predestined life. How I pray that our feet will all meet with the pre-planned of God. May you not go astray or wander off God's ready made plans. May you rather fit into it to the praise of He who has called and chosen you. 

Jesus enjoyed a lot. This verse contains one of the special privileges Jesus had. Such a prophetic life. It is said and discovered to be so. Jesus put two disciples on errand to the end that they might fetch Him a colt. It's time to ride triumphantly into Jerusalem. Everything is timed. He gives the address and even sees into the future that they'll be questioned as to what purpose they need the colt for. So, in taking thought for them, He told them what response to give when asked who ordered them to loose the colt. 

You see, that's another thing that amazes me. How did He know they'll face the probing of men? Obviously, that's the operation of Word of Knowledge. It's the manifestation of revelation. Roads unwalked would just be clear to you. Paths untrodden would lay bare before you. You'll just know (not by yourself) but of God. As the attempt to fetch the colt begins, a group questions them if they knew what they were doing. Their response was, "the Lord has need of it". It's this answer that satiates. It's this answer that settles all. Meanwhile, though these two disciples were commanded disciples and the people they met were as well commanded yet, they were tried. So, should we say they were not in the first place commanded by God? No. They were commanded by God and have been put under command since those two disciples received that instruction to go untie that colt. Meanwhile, one understanding is being supplied to us here. It is the measure that sieves truth from falsehood. That measure has been put in place so that many people won't perpetrate evil successfully in the name of God without being found out and stopped. Imagine if when they asked who sent you them, they had said, "Pilate or one of the big names", what do you think would have happened? Those ones wouldn't have agreed that they untie it let alone go with it. The instruction they had received is that, "the Lord has need of it" and on that note, when He comes for it (irrespective of who He send) it should be released to Him. That's why you'll be a failure if you deliver the captive of the oppressor and you were asked and you said, you did. Only God does. 

These disciples faced a query, a panel though God had spoken to them in truth and in deed. They still needed to be checked, probed and proven. At day's end, it was clear that they were as well the commanded to the commanded. While God has put men under obligation for them, yet those men had to prove them if they were as well ones sent to them. As such, I say nothing is wrong if you propose to a sister and she says not me. If you're sure of who spoke to you, go and meet Him. He'll speak and bend the knee of that sister for you. It is only when people are doing trial and error and they miss it that they'll say God does not work. Did He lead or guide you to someone or you're trying to slate a meet and pitch a relationship with someone? If you miss it, admit you miss it. Repent of having said you were formerly led. Rebuke the spirit of error. Have your conscience repaired and wait on God for who He will send you to. The mark that it is the Lord's doing is that when you appear, you have a word for that person and the fellow has a word in return for you. It is when you both click and enter each other this way that the Lord has spoken to both of you to and fro and sent you to each other to and fro. This test filters away for us those God didn't send but who wants to take what God has prepared and He's reserving for His own beloved. God forbid! You'll be discovered and rebuked once. That someone is the commanded doesn't mean he won't check you out. If God sends your church to go and meet a driver who He has spoken to who will avail your church his bus for a week of mission and evangelism. Don't you think God in His wisdom would have given that man a sign as well as yourself so that when both of you meet, there'll be agreement that you're for each other. Why won't God do that since He's not the author of confusion? That's the clarity. It is the measure that rather solidify our faith in this act and practice that if God commands someone for your sake, they shall after all surrender to the will of God. They may check things out, they may want to know who sent you and question the authenticity of your appearing and coming. However, it shall be unto you as afore said to you by God and as predicted by the words of His mouth. Keep your calm. Be assured that they shall obey if it's God. What we must prove is, "is it God?"

PRAYER: I receive patient spirit to tarry to hear God before my feet runs any errand..

YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND ACCEPTANCE BECAUSE YOU'LL ALWAYS MEET YOURS

YOU'LL ALWAYS FIND ACCEPTANCE BECAUSE YOU'LL ALWAYS MEET YOURS

Yesterday, I received the shock of my life from Mile 12 to New Garage, Lagos. It happened that the vehicle I boarded had a conductor who couldn't made sense of money. He couldn't deduce what amount should be given back as change after collecting money from individuals. In this bus crowded with market women who are patronizers of this driver and his lacking in Maths conductor was where I got to receive some lessons I now teach.

I wondered, "in this Lagos. Eko wejenle (the never dare Lagos). Eko ile ogbon (outright teaching centre ready to teach the sluggish and unlearned). Is it where this "folly" is being practised? "How's the driver coping with this man who he had to help over and over again understand simple Maths with which to settle their passengers? Yet, he's driving and again busying himself with accountability on money matters. Why would he have such a man for himself? Couldn't he lay him off?" That last question was the beginning of my find.

God told me, "if he were laid off, how would he (the unmathematical conductor) feed? That's his place. He has chosen to work as a bus conductor and it becomes a must that I find him a place and a support system. God said, "I created that driver for him - to tolerate and bear with his folly, sluggishness and strangenesses." The conductor is not sharp as all of you passengers rightly observed. As a matter of fact, their regular patronizers (the traders) in the vehicle already knew him and his boss (the driver). They, (Driver and Conductor) have learnt by experience how to relate and manage themselves. I only had to speak to A to accommodate B." I was shocked hearing all these!

The Spirit of truth then continued His enlightening saying, "same way, I have ordained that all of you would marry. All of you would marry including the thought less off. Time may differ." I asked, "how?" He said, "I have created for individuals those who will accept them." You may not be clean, whole or totally proficient. This may slow your acceptance process as always esteemed by men. You may have a thing lacking somewhere but there's someone who had been created, placed somewhere by God for you with an instruction and a compelling one at that to receive you as you are (that's not to condone areas you could improve on anyway). I'm only speaking of atrophied portions of our lives that we can't change but accept, live and bear with. For example, someone is a stammerer or an albino. Some may not want to marry them for that. As a matter of fact, the Spirit said, "He created them (the endurers) to find that deficient and accept him or her like that." It pleases me to say that God originally had created such people with a forbearance, long-suffering, patience and an inside or module in them etc to cope with such deficients (in whatsoever aspect) it occurs in such people they'll be team mated with.

The Bible says without repentance that, "God sets the solitary in families (Psalm 68:6). A solitary is a single fellow: brother or sister. When the Bible says that, did you not sense commitment of God in that statement? It means, "it is my duty, obligation and very much within my power to see that all of you including the "worst" of you (in human terms or tagging) marries. It is you humans who categorise one person as fine and the other as lacking. But you are all my creatures, my handiwork irrespective of how you're delivered to this earth (born) or what a cause on earth has turned you to (i.e. injury, accident etc). You're all my children. I have a commitment to see to it that you're all set in a family. I exclaimed, "Kai, my Father!" God told me, "is any maimed, diseased, down syndromed, hyper emotional, over sensitive or unbearable to the community of "proper men?" He said, "such fellow has a fit and He'll find him or her their fit." Their fit like that driver would have been levied with tolerance and inbuilt to long suffer with them. They're specially created or have been tended by training and what life has thrown at them or taught them to bear with such deficients when their paths cross. Brethren, you're not forsaken because God has prepared someone for you (that your path has likely not crossed with) to bear you up from rejection, shame, your inadequacies and bear with you (as you both live together). That's he or she who would understand you. 

God said, because I'm obligated to feed all my creatures; I hooked that moron conductor up with a driver who would bear with him. At least, I feed the birds who neither sow or reap. The lilies also get clothed and the green grass who are sooner turned into the oven. How much more you? Am I not taking thought for you?

Are you saying, "you'll forever lack a partner because of the hemorrhage, occasional insanity, seizure (that leads to public shame) you're facing? God said, "No!" I can hook you up even to an outright better person. The person would just need to see a "better part of you." Even the most despised have a selling point. Even if you're a normal human being, you can't have all aspects of you perfect. There'll also be a place where you'll also need to be tolerated. Those of you who don't have obvious challenge manifesting in any physical deficiency for instance, would you indeed say, "you have no problem when you know as I do that you have anger issue, accountability problem, emotional weakness, spiritual and character defect etc." Yet, you have found a helpmeet. Let us ask again and again, "how did you get this done?" God simply found you one. Just one who your mountains doesn't bother as such. 

Some of you married as over age people also. Some even remarry because of deceased spouse or divorce to end up again with virgin singles yet as single parents! How did you get to marry another with the hang over of a kid from your past relationship? Or don't you know that the higher population of both sexes don't want to marry somebody who has been afore "gotten" and then has "baggage." Yet, because God is under obligation to fulfill Psalm 68:6, He marries you off to another again. He always has a fixer for you. Do you think it's because you have a clean face and bogus buttocks? Many there be who have those ephemerals who are still without covers. It's this commitment of "I set the solitary in families" that each of us enjoys. All of us have people who won't accept us when offered them even if we're the most graced, beautiful, wealthy or straight up people. However, God has one for us. That's my own comfort and should be yours also. To shock you, somebody might even be turned off because of your superfluous credentials. They'll say, "I want to marry someone who's silent." I met a lady who's now a rising star in her profession who told me she would never never marry a star. I said, "how would you know? "I'll just know. I know what I want out of life", she replied. Today, she is a star and I'm thinking she wanted a silent partner because of who she has discovered she'll become. So, she was looking for a point of contact to be hooked with her very opposite. You know, it is always magnet that attracts iron."

People, check your balance. Add, subtract, divide, multiply. Just do the sum. Who do you account yourself to be that you think you can't be fixed up. God is the greatest matchmaker though a pastor in any church has a fragment of this duty on him to help two people also get married by looking at two people who could do themselves good, won't be disgusted with themselves as pairs and then introduce (but without force) same to each other. If they're good in each other's sight and it pleases God, they may eventually hook up together. 

Look, God has an address, a person and a love in mind for you. You'll be satisfied eventually. The day you find acceptance from such people, you'll turn round and ask yourself if you were the one who has been rejected till hitherto. You'll just be dazed! It won't be reasonable again to you but it would make sense to God and His divine community. 

Look at me, are there not many widows in Israel before God sent Elijah to Zarephath? Are there not many lepers to be healed before God crafted  Elisha down for Naaman (Matt. 4:25-27). You have a fixer! One you'll enter into like hook and eye do. One who will meet all you are or have become. The fit! You have he who will receive you with both arms without murmuring or grumbling. His confession to the horrible shock of others would be, "look at the good gift" God has given me. They are not getting it but he or she knows better and would esteem you so even to your own shock. 

Therefore, by the prophetic on me, I order you to fall in line with your time and season, with your place in your placement, your person amidst people. Let your paths cross. Find acceptance. Find a long sufferer. Find a bearer with your kind (made you by nature or life). Find it now. Alignment now and not later. Find same who you'll be precious in his or sight. One that your trouble would be kindness to!

You say, "how possible?"

I answer with He said, "He'll set the solitary in families [even at all cost]."
