MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

OVER SEAS AND LANDS 

Genesis 40:15, KJV

"For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon".

One of the greatest marks that there's a destiny to fulfill is to observe God watching over where you should be at a particular time. There's a process and in the infinite will of God, He knows if you have ended one so He might onboard you into the next. I have taught a lot on destiny; being the lucky, fated, chosen one or the star boy/girl by using Joseph. Only that it didn't come out in the devotional. 

Joseph is a boy that something can't but happen for. From the special interest of his father in him to the giftedness of revelation he displays early, we might be curious to put at heart that something is special about this boy. Not only special about him, but that God is deliberately watching over His Words to fulfill it over him. 

Joseph said, "for I was stolen away from the Hebrew's land..." He didn't want to leave but he had no choice. He was carted away by being sold into slavery by his brother. At arrival in Egypt, God was at the point of collection, bazaar and banter. He fetched him a master. It was Potiphar who bought him. That's one of God's provision for Joseph - he must meet Potiphar in his life. From here, he got a transfer to jail when he was lied against. God knew when to pedal him into the next stage. It's here he met the man who will be his connector to the king. 

And all came to pass just like that. He ascended prime-ministership and have all those years long prophecies fulfilled on him. He saw his brothers worship him indeed. He was just full of awe at God and what He had said 13 years ago. What a thing! I can surely tell you to wait for your prophecies to manifest. It may tarry but it shall not lie. It shall yield itself and be fulfilled. 

You see, if in your destiny fulfilment, you need to be transported, don't worry about transportation. God will organize one. I found out that what we don't have faith for is what we don't have an inner convinction over. If you're convincted and there's a witness in your heart saying your destiny is over the land or seas for you, then God has a way of sponsoring you there. Joseph got to Egypt though he had to be stolen away. He didn't pay for transport. If his brothers must bow to him, he must need get to Egypt and God did bear him to Egypt. Every step he takes is God taking it with him. Be assured that destiny would happen. If you've read Buchi Emecheta's Second Class Citizen, you could see the idea of destiny being hinted at in this novel. No one is available to send Adah, the protagonist to school. Her Pa is dead and her Ma is remarried. As typical of Igbo belief in those days, girls don't need education but Adah has passion for education. Though his younger brother, Boy has been enrolled in school before her and has hope of continuing his education using the family savings kept for same purpose, she has none. To go to school, she had to thrust herself forcefully to school and would not have been enrolled if not by the law that forces the hands of her parents. Now at Pa's demise, will her education stop? No! Adah has a strong sense of purpose and won't stop comforting herself. She stole some shillings given her by Uncle Vincent to buy steak to buy her common entrance form into Secondary School. In the midst of all these, she heard the voice of her spiritual guide (I believe it's God that the author didn't want to declare as God) but the author calls it, "the Presence" saying to her, "you must go, to school you must go and to one of the best schools". At the end, Adah's performance in her entrance exam secured her a scholarship and this is how she got a scholarship to attend one of the best schools. 

In the series of teachings I did on being the fated, lucky or star one (which is still available for your reading), I highlighted marks of destiny and special future in people. One of it is that they have a prophecy or there's a clear cut divine involvement in their lives. On occasions in the novel, Adah keeps hearing the Presence assuring and reassuring her. This is not different from how the Holy Spirit relates with Christians. I believe you sure have a life to live and a destiny to express. On this note, be assured God is committed to you. You'll reach. You'll surmount all mountains and arrive. You will have destiny meet. 

PRAYER: Lord, provide me assurance and reassurance all the way.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

THEY ARE AT YOUR DOOR - At Old Age Series 003

Acts 10:19-20, KJV

"19 While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.  20 Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them".

At times, we don't know how close we are to the handles we must take and the blessings by which we must be blessed. One time, I had a vision of a stream flowing from a source distant from where I was at that river. Then, I had a special understanding that this stream flowing was not just meant to pass by. It must be tapped into. It must be maximized. It must be taken and utilized by those it appears or offers itself to. God has given that stream to pass and pass by a path as to cross path with some people so they could tap into it. However, their utilization time would differ. Some are at its source but as it continues to flow, different men would tap into it at their different spots and times when this flowing stream reaches them. What must not happen is for this stream to keep its flow until it gets to you but bypasses you without you becoming what you should become by it. This stream is grace to become what you should become. It is the availed destiny resources. It also signifies the hands of time offered you but which is constantly ticking and is on the run. It has reached some (who have done with it as they liked). Now, it has departed or is departing from them to others who could do with it as they'll choose. That stream doesn't flow backward. That means once it passes, it passes. Once time is used, it is used. 

On the morning of 17th July, 2023, God told me that we don't know the full import of time again since we measure the passage of time by the ticking hands of the clock. So, we have a kind of consciousness that time doesn't finish. We rather believe that it'll be recycled to us. So, when we watch the hands of the clock or watch tick cyclically, we just believe we can stretch forever and wait for eternity - keeping our cool to take our time. No! That's danger. Rather, God flashed before me the "hour glass". God said we know time is far spent and irretrievable by the amount of sand left in the upper jar. When a baby is born, his time is still full like the sand unspent in a side of the hour glass but then, it begins to dissipate. By looking at the hour glass, the truth of time having passed many or passing many etc will hit them differently. Wastages will therefore be cut short while they strive for accuracy. Don't waste your time. Ask critical questions, have them answered and continue doing them. What should I do? Who should I marry? Where should I live? Which church should I go to? Find these and others, then continue doing what you have gotten right. Don't be swayed. 

God is the orderer of paths. One miracle that I have had even before I got admitted into the university was being led or guided. I knew it would be the University I graduated from I should attend. I saw it in a dream. I knew I'll become very great there as well. This is a prophetic life and it is such that is marvellous in our sights. I have left myself into the hands of God to do with me as He desires and to carry me wherever He wills. I can slap myself on the surface of His sea and I know He'll carry me to safety and arrival where the table is furnished for me. What God has slated me to have is what I call, "destiny meet". My journeys are different and I believe yours too. 

Emissaries went out from Cornelius to bring back the man, Peter. The location picked in the spirit was not lesser accurate. He dwells with one Simon the Tanner whose house is by the sea side. As in, looking at disclosures being made without using GPRS or Google Map, God knows how to web your path into another. He knows where individuals live and when He's ready that two paths meet, He'll ordain it. Meanwhile, let me reinstate that it is what the Lord does that's marvelous. 

Peter prays on the house top at this time. He has a trance and ruminates on what it means. Just then (as those ones seeking for him reached for the door), God communicates to him to go down because three men are looking for him. This is a special meet. God rose somebody up and rose another to meet him. In the last testimony of Reinhard Bonnke that I shared, you'll observe that Bonnke was almost being turned away by that woman at the door but just then, George Jeffreys came downstairs and with a deep voice says, "let him come in". When two must meet, God does all to ensure they meet. He always watches and guide the process until contact is established and the slated happens. Imagine Cornelius being desired of God to hear the gospel by sending him to Peter and sending Peter to him. Yet, they are separated by not small miles. It doesn't matter where he or she is; even if it's across the sea; if you have to do with him or her, God who watches over divine processes, meetings and destinies will order you to meet. They not only met but God told Peter not to doubt them but go with them. All these great effort because somebody in Cornelius, his household, close relatives and friends must be born again. God is a loving investor. He'll invest in you if He sees you're critical to His future programmes and He'll not leave you unharvested when He keenly observes you're already feeling after Him.

One thing is given to Peter to do, to preach the Word of life, to instruct Cornelius on what he must do. That's all. For this reason, they must cross path. This may be the only time they'll cross path but on this occasion, no escapade from contact must be made. It must happen and it did. From two ends of the earth, two were connected. I pray for you, may you catch up with your prophecies. May you meet up. Cross path with those critical to God's plan for your life. You know, I kept thinking on why George Jeffreys had to come down at that time Bonnke was almost being turned away from the door. That's divine ordering/slating I see there. That's divine leading and providence also. George Jeffreys came down on time like Peter came down from the roof top to meet those who look for him. Imagine! I pray for you, you won't miss time. You'll be on time. Whenever it remains little to miss time, the covenant on this ministry as echoed by the Spirit of life in the Bible would hasten you up. It'll always be on their hands they'll bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone. They not only bear up or upward, they bear forward as well. Where you should be on time, you won't be late. Angels will make your path straight before you. They'll clear the way for you. You will meet those you're seeking. It shall be a destiny meet. You shall be received and accepted.

PRAYER: Lord, no matter the distance and the hindering factors, let me meet with my destiny connector. I have a destiny meet. Plot us together.
