MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
GOING AND MEETING IT SO
Luke 2:10-12 KJV
"10 And the angel said unto them...11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger".
Yesterday, I told you that the life I want to live is the life that predicts it and then have same prediction. Thoughts of welfare have been verbalized concerning each of us. They've gone into our future but we can meet with them and live according to their dictates. Abraham, the father of faith himself told the head of his house that, "the Lord God of heaven who took him from his father's house...shall send His angel before him..." In this manner, that servant of Abraham was assured. He went and he met it so. Everything played out for his good in a foreign land. At the gate, he met a woman prepared and ordained by the Lord for Isaac who will not care less but care for him and even the ten camels! He raised the standard high to test the authenticity of God being involved, yet he met someone who will still be willing to fulfill such a hard requirement of giving him drink and then his camels. What a word that has come to pass! To this end, he bowed and worshipped God who has done unto him as Abraham had said. The angel Abraham talked about who would go before him was to arrange things for him and make all impossibilities become possibilities to him. What a glorious God! I'm in awe of you! Lord God, this is the life I want to live. The life that sees predictions being fulfilled for good in his sight. The life that doesn't become less of what God has said. The life that coincident and hit on what has been said - all for good. May we not miss the mark!
Meanwhile, the Spirit of God wants to express some further things. An angel of God appeared to some shepherds, breaking the news of Jesus' birth to them and telling them as a sign, He would be found in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes. Notwithstanding, they endeavour to journey to see. Upon arrival however, they found it to be true.
Luke 2:16, KJV
"And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger".
According to the delivery angel's word, the babe would be found in a manger. At their arrival, it was so. This is not coincidence. It is God's arrangement to fulfill and meet what was said. If not, such major detail about how Jesus would be found could have changed before their arrival. Will it take a minute to take Jesus out of the manger and put Him somewhere else? However, when God was speaking through that angel, it's the conclusion of the event God was uttering. He has seen it and now He declares it. We haven't seen it and that's why it behooves us. However, before it happens in the realm where we could experience it, God declares it to us that we might praise Him for His greatness. No wonder, one of the things those shepherds later celebrated was what they heard that angel told them which they eventually met so. It's amazing and they couldn't keep it.
Luke 2:20, KJV
"And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them".
Brethren, God is not a liar. He is not even the son of man that He should change His mind. What has He spoken to you as promise? You will find it so. The difference between "here" and "there" of fulfilment of what He has said is "t" denoting time. By time when you make arrival, you shall witness all those things having come to pass. You'll be so much gripped in you that you'll shout, "this is the Lord's doing" and it's marvellous in our sight. It always commands attention when it is the sole work done by the Lord. Wait for it. It shall speak. That promise shall speak. Even though it tarries now, it shall seek fulfilment because it's a word on errand.
PRAYER: Lord, all words of welfare that have gone ahead of me, I receive their fulfilment live.
