HAPPY NEW MONTH!

WHEN THE VEIL IS DONE AWAY WITH

II Kings 7:3,KJV

"And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?"

Have you ever suddenly come to the realisation of a truth before? Before then, you were stationary. You were contented with your present prevalent situation. You might have even settled in the less and call it the best. Recently, I had a settled mind on a subject matter. I've had this settled mind for more than a month until the veil was taken off. When it was, I saw clearly that what I have settled for wasn't the best.

When the covering is taken away, understanding dawns on one. Look at these four lepers. They've been watching in front of the gate of Samaria for only God knows. No progress nor forward movement. Nobody thought contrarily to their immobility. All of them regarded it good to maintain their status. Meanwhile, something happened. They suddenly came to the realisation of a hidden truth. I call it revelation because they were permitted to see or observe what they've never given attention to before. There and then, they began to analyze their condition. They became unsatisfactory. They said:

2 Kings 7:4,KJV

"If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. "Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die."

For sometimes (which only God knows), they've not had forward thinking which only could produce forward movement. But at that juncture where understanding of their prevalent situation flooded them, they sought to relocate.

Meanwhile relocation was never part of their consideration from the beginning. They were contented to stay at the gate though they were dying. However, they received a change in their mindset when the blindfold of their hearts was taken away.

Look at me saint. There are some directions you'll never think towards until time comes for you to implement something in that direction. Did you agree that it is the Lord's doing that stung these lepers to awareness? They were stung to notification of where to go and what to do at that particular time because God wanted to bring about the prophecy of Elisha. Without the veil being done away with, one cannot enter into his inheritance nor take it by knowledge. One will always be contented with the less. Mind you, the devil has a plan to substitute your calling with a career. So, be careful to discover where God wants you be and where you should go. Without the dispensing off of the veil, you can't look at yourself and ask WHY SIT I HERE UNTIL I DIE? Therefore, receive understanding!

PRAYER: Father of all light, let my heart be free of darkness. Always sting me to action with illumination and light unparalleled.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Deuteronomy 31:1-32:27, Luke 12:8-34, Psalm 78:32-55, Proverbs 12:21-23

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

WHAT A CHRISTIAN SHOULD DO WHEN THE WORLD CAN'T BUT NEED HIS SERVICE

Acts 8:35, KJV

"Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus."

The world will need you. They will come to your doorstep. Somehow, what you are known for as a professional can't but inevitably bring them to you. Once they are in this manner brought to you, ensure you show them Jesus.

There are three doors. They are doors of ministry, faith and then utterance. As it concerns this teaching, I shall by the Hallowed One, Jesus Christ focus on the door of ministry. God knows what He is doing. You must as well be sensitive to recognize His moves in your own day. 

God's angel in today's passage hinted Philip on where to be. The fact that divine guidance is possible either through an angel or other means. Christians are not at the mercy of the world and its happenings. They can be led by the steady words that proceed from God's mouth daily. In heeding, Philip met himself on the way to Gaza. There, he was told to join himself to a chariot. As he obeyed, he overheard a man reading Isaiah. Then, Philip asked, did you get what you're reading?  

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."

Did you read the Ethiopian Eunuch's confession? He said "how can he understand?" He had just bought a book he couldn't understand. He is reading it for the excitement of having contacted a new faith - for exploration sake but he neither has the Holy Ghost to give him interpretation nor a human guide to at least help out. At least, we knew he was not born again until the preaching of Jesus to him. That's why he desired Philip to join him even in his fancy car. May God make people not have any other choice but rather to accommodate you. It happened there. Philip was not accepted neutrally. He was accepted because the Ethiopian Eunuch knew he would be useful to him. Every man is born selfish and for you to see those that will open up to you without profit to make is rare. He desperately needs an interpreter to crack what Prophet Isaiah says. He needs answers to what he has read. In his own words, look at how he childishly as an unlearned man in the Scriptures and God's things ask Philip of who the place he read talks about. 

Acts 8:34, KJV

"And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?"

Those were the words that said Jesus was led as a lamb to the slaughter. He didn't even know whether Isaiah was saying it to have happened to another or Isaiah himself. You can see the need in his life. He has money and influence. He's not a man of mean status. He has his own ride but he can't crack a book. Divine things were hidden from him because God needed to penetrate him. 

So, this was the opportunity that Philip caught on. It was here that Philip could have understood why God by his angel directed him away from home to that place. We were told that Philip who obviously knew what he was doing and had came to the why God had made an opening possible for him to speak to this man then opened his mouth not only to explain that portion of Isaiah to him but rather to preach Jesus to him.

What is our gospel? Jesus! What is our intent? Jesus. Jesus is the gospel. The gospel is Jesus. Preach Jesus in all your preaching. He preached Jesus - his birth, life, ministry, death, ascension etc and from this, he led the man to Christ. Philip so much more preached Jesus plainly to him that it was even the Eunuch that later said as they journeyed, "look, this is water. What stops me from being baptized." Did you see a converted disciple already? 

Everything began when that African needed the help of Philip. There was a service he couldn't give to himself but God had positioned Philip there for him. So, Philip being wise not only gave that service but gave the one that's the basis for the one he has given and others the man might be given. Saint, you must discern as clients patronise you not only to help them do their hair but to subtly as you sing or humm preach Jesus to them. If anyone comes to your workshop as a mechanic and you begin to play a sermon, will they say you should stop it? They'll be obliged to hear even if they're not comfortable. They know they have come to your own carved out territory and you're the one who decides what goes there. Not anyone. If you have a hospital, instead of allowing the sick to watch news which are but tragedies and faith contaminants, you can tune to a channel where a message on healing and faith is what they're soaking in. You can control that. If you tell them that's the channel you have to offer and not any other and it's static, even if they think of leaving you, they won't because they'll always remember that you offer the best in healthcare. 

Today, God is calling all of us to be secret disciples under our professional wears. A spy won't tell you he's a spy but he knows he's progressing in his work of gathering information. Even if the world don't know who you are, you should and work in that revelation. When the Lord opens freely door of ministry to you to minister and later supplies utterance to you and faith to your hearer, may you not waste his effort. 

PRAYER: God, sensitize me to what You'll have me do per term. When there is a wide door opened, may I be open to you too.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 24:1-25:28, Romans 12:1-21, Psalm 22:19-31, Proverbs 20:8-10

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

THE HONOUR WITH WHICH GOD HONOURS HIS MINISTERS

Read Acts 10

Acts 10:5-6, KJV

"5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do."

There is a honour with which God honours His ministers. There's no profession that doesn't attract its own honour. There will always be a reason why some other people from without covets a profession and wish they're those within it. May you be part of those God will meet with such.

God by His angel appeared to Cornelius. He was a man that heaven had remembrance on for his prayers and much alms. Heaven doesn't collect from people without giving back to them. God is not a man user without rewarding men with Himself. On that note, God looks for the best way to acknowledge, appreciate and compensate for all his good. So, he gave him a vision where he instructed him to send for a man named Simon Peter who will tell him what he ought to do. 

Did you see that at all? That was an angel speaking to Cornelius but that angel couldn't preach the gospel to him. It is men that preach the gospel not angels. As powerful as angels are, God has not committed into their hands the personal work of preaching the gospel to the world. It rather has been given to men. What a honour done men and done those specifically found worthy of such noble task. 

God is doing His men honour. What honour, your curious mind asks? The honour of committing into His ministers hands the great privilege of telling people what to do. 

Look, as great as that Centurion was, he couldn't instruct himself. As great as the one that appeared to him was [knowing and telling him so many things], he couldn't preach to him. He however said, send for Peter who will tell you what ye ought to do.

Ministers know what God would have men do. They're custodian of what God will have people do. When men are confused, the minister ought to be upright and know what they should do. God's counsel dwells with him. Utterance and words for the season answers him. So, whenever men looks forward to God for a seasonal word to attend their needs, they need not worry because there's one who is ordained an oracle of God to tear them God's mind for that season. 

The privilege and honour God does Peter in that place was that he kept Cornelius and all others' bread gathered in his house with him with Peter. Until he arrived, they were not fed. He was the one they were expecting since the angel gave charge they should go bring him to minister.

Guest ministers, are you following? When you're invited to minister, it is not your fashion, grammar, phonics or style people are waiting for. Why they have invited you and for which they earnestly wait in all expectation with prayer and longing for their needs to be met is that through you, God will tell them what they ought to do. 

What a rare privilege that until Peter showed them the way by preaching Jesus to them, they didn't know the way. They just don't know how to get themselves born again. What a mystery that one man's bread is held by another man. 

I pray for all ministers, you won't become irrelevant in God's hands as to have this honour elude you. May you always be found God's mouth piece when there's an occasion for it. Philip was found for the Ethiopian Eunuch. You won't be exempted in Jesus name. 

PRAYER: Find me for my audience Lord. Make me important in my niche and to my generation. Lord, carry me to minister before kings and nations.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 24:1-25:28, Romans 12:1-21, Psalm 22:19-31, Proverbs 20:8-10

GRATITUDE OVER WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DESPISED

THANK GOD FOR HIS VISITATION

I really thank God for His visitation. I just have so many things to say. Meanwhile, there are moments when even if you have a thing to say, other string-tight commitment won't allow. At times, there won't be enough stirring at all. A reminder that we're but humans while Christ in us is our hope of glory. 

So, for being privileged to write or communicate God's burden to the body of Christ; in humble adoration, I say, glory to God.

People of God, don't take simple things for granted o. That includes being able to feed and feed properly. If after eating doughnut; chin-chin and lollypop follows, you should know that's a miracle God keeps repeating for you on daily basis. If your mouth never dries even if it's because you don't have the demands of ministers to fast, still thank God. Even fasting isn't easy. That's why the Bible describes it as an affliction. 

If when you speak, you have ready listeners, you should thank God for them. It is not good when one is talking and nobody shows interest. But when you speak and people are relating, reacting, connecting, associating, intimating and are imitating, you ought to say, 'O God, what have you wrath?"

I told my beloved one day. I said "how good it would be settling down somewhere where one would just go out for crusades and some ministrations, then come back home to instruct the multitude of eager disciples that are learning Christ of one and dies hard to receive one back. You'll know there's no joy in hoarding blessings then. You only dig to the bottom when you have inquisitive spiritual children. The same happens in the classroom setting. Students can be short-changed of their portion from a teacher - a bank of knowledge if they don't ask questions or know how to relate with him. Other way, the best of the teacher may not be given if there are no new challenges to call it forth also. 

What you must know especially if you're a minister or even an upcoming is that there's a stage of growth you can attain where giving out will be naturally birthed or triggered in you. Why? You've been a good follower and have been equipped enough while in your season of 'make-me.' Now, maturity has brought you to a place where you even seek platforms to minister, impart gifts like Paul on others or seek doers you can share burdens and revelations with. Let time and patience bear its effects on you. Don't step into leadership or begin to offer a ministry if you have not been internally or consciously brought to recognize you are now in such season to dispense. When such time comes, naturally, you'll feel too burdened and pressed to discharge. You'll be like a mother at the labour room. Her only focus is to give birth. 

Do you know that if people makes demands on an anointed especially to hear him; do you know that teaching will be triggered? Often in Jesus ministry, the trigger to teach or climb the mountain for such happened when He saw the crowd. You'll be hearing things like "as the multitude press on Him.. [Matthew 5:1-2, Luke 5:1-3]. Kai!

There's something that calls your best out when you receive an inner feedback and communication that some people yearns for you and what God has given you for them. What God has given any minister isn't for him. That's why he can't minister to himself. That's why he must also follow some other ministers and learn to receive by faith from them also. I tell you people of God, no one is an absolute authority anywhere. 

The joy of communicating and being received is what births mighty works. All ministers reading this should pay special attention to these words. Have you not read that Jesus couldn't do any mighty works because He was not accepted? Look at what unbelief in a minister could cause [Matthew 13:54-58, Mark 6:2-6].

However, where there's acceptance, what always happen? ... mighty works in strong doctrine/teaching, healing, signs and wonders will proceed. God can recognize hunger when people have one. It is not the anointed that gauge what each in a congregation gets from God. They do. As an anointed teaches, you determine how much of the force of the Spirit or energy would flow to you and for your need. 

Rejection can be felt. You don't have to throw stones at the one you're rejecting. In same manner,  acceptance spurs you and urges you on and on. Kaimona! 

So, I won't take it for granted. I preached a message one day somewhere and somebody under the ministration met me afterwards and told me God gave him this same message sometimes ago but till then, he couldn't preach it. So, why not thank God!

So, I dedicate this short teaching to all the passionate enduring readers and followers of us as we follow Christ. Thanks for bearing with my long teachings.  I want to salute you for always reading our spirit-meat as Abba oils us. May it not stop blessing you. 

As you pray for the minister the more, God can use him more mightily. So, always remember him. I'll say, "you're beloved and verily cherished."

You won't lose your place. Amidst the great and the strong, God will give you a place.

Namaste!

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

THE MERCY OF GOD

Read Luke 22:39-43

I Corinthians 10:13, KJV

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."

It is the mercy of God that measures to us what we can each carry. Even in gifting, He gives to us according to our abilities. Do you know gift can kill? The commitment of God if given at a high level that is not pedaled can wear any out and consequently be to his detriment. That's why it's better to grow in your office, grace or anointing because by reason of time, you'll learn how to put it under. But if 80% out of the 100% of oil you'll one day carry should fall on you like that, if pride do not kill you or other perils of the anointed, the demands of the anointing itself will send you home by either wearing out your mortal body or drawing you to minister until it tells on your health. 

That's one of the reasons God rather allocates to us in measures or droplets. It's God's wisdom but more importantly, that instance shows His mercy. 

If you have a child that you don't want to send to his early grave, will you not measure to him tasks that you believe he should be able to discharge according to his capability or age? Do you task him and make demands on him like you would do for yourself?

When you're tempted, God is there watching. He does one thing. He will never, never and never allow you to be tempted until you're overwhelmed or say, 'enough is enough' and then proceed into prostitution, robbery or even commit suicide. 

There's a thing that God always do that interests me. He'll dig a hole. He'll create a space of mercy. He'll make a demand for that thing not to be overstretched so that you won't fall under that weight and get crushed. Many of us have experienced situations that almost broke us before. While we were at the bank or edge of being broken where you could hear groaning and sweat as thick as blood rolling down from us, God orders that situation to a halt. Then, it stops and like a man who's been under torture or training in a military camp, we rise in gratitude from that experience. Meanwhile, we have gathered strength for another day. That space of relieve doesn't mean a stop forever. More will still come. That's why we're assured of redemption. If we were pressed yesterday but survived, tomorrow won't be an exemption. That's why that place says God is faithful. You can always count on His appearance for salvation or deliverance even when it seems you'll be broken and totally shattered now. David while giving assurance to Saul said, "the God that delivered me out of the paws of the lion and the bear will deliver me out of this uncircumcised Philistines [I Samuel 17:37]." That's God's faithfulness he was referencing. He knows that enough that God is faithful and would provide a way of escape. 

Look, in all, God is indeed faithful. He will create a way of escape for you from that situation. Let patience have its time. Afterwards, you'll raise gratitude to Him. As I'm observing, what you're currently passing through can't kill you. You'll be kept and preserved. Why? The Lord still has need of you. Whatsoever the Lord has need of, it is such He preserves from being violated even though stretched. That's how He preserved that colt for Jesus use. It was a brand new colt that no one has never ridden on. Why? Because one day, it will serve purpose. Look, receive escape and your relieve now. 

PRAYER: God of escape, my life is in your hands for escape. Repeat Your being faithful at my temptation and nearing breaking point.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Chronicles 19:1-20:37, Romans 10:14-11:12, Psalm 21:1-13, Proverbs 20:4-6

PATRIOTISM & LOYALTY TO FATHERLAND

HOW TO BE PATRIOTIC AND LOYAL TO FATHERLAND - Part 1

Let me start by saying, pastors must be alive to their responsibilities. Many people have not been taught proper behaviour from their homes or where they are coming from. This thing is first of all the work God crafted for parents in the home setting. However, if such people can't receive the communication of such ministration from parents, God in His infinite mercy do not want them escape it. So, He'll bring them to a church or a father who has the content, discipline, strength and comfort of the calling to instill it in them. Any child that won't say, "yours is too much" to parents will always turn out to be different. When they number him amidst multitude, they will quickly see 'quality' which differs from quantity.

Let the righteous correct me and it will be oil of excellence on my head hasn't changed. 

Psalms 141:5, KJV

"Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities."

IF you will submit and be rebuked, you won't know when by the many corrections and adjustments made so far in your life when you'll begin to radiate and manifest excellence. Amidst congregation or community of men, even people from afar will testify of a thing in you that makes you different from others. That's the thing observed in the four Hebrew boys that made them to be esteemed as having a different life in all their encounters. Why? The amount of Judaism that has been imparted into them classes them out amidst thousands if not millions of strangers and citizens in Babylon. Though they've left home yet home and good habit haven't quit them. They were patriotic even in the face of death. It is the content in you you can manifest. If you've been under a bad minister, it will show in speech, deed and demeanour. There won't be anything called Holy Spirit's restraint on your spirit or action at all. No sobriety or decorum. You will just be jumping like an unbridled horse and you'll one day get in trouble for that. 

When some ministers follow the pattern God instructed all ministers to build in while some collapses and waters it down to have multitude that are still not whole, some people will be made to see those building according to pattern as hard men and difficult to cope with. Same happens in schools and in teacher-student relationship.

If you're reading this, God wants you to be patriotic and have a special allegiance and love for your country or the place called home. It was yesterday God was telling me to tell some people not to join their mouths to the reward of the wicked. Each of us will have what we're saying and what we say long enough. 

Look, when people are speaking unpatriotically of their fatherland, despite being in the same shoe or even a worst situation, bridle yourself not to follow same. Act defiantly against that spirit of ridicule, mockery and sarcastic remarks that instead of looking for the good of his homeland is always and constantly publishing its shame. I'll say you, you who reads this today has a choice to do otherwise. 

If we take a practical example, how many of such men would have irresponsible parents and come out at all or as often as they've done in tearing their fatherland down to spread their parents' ill in the public?

Do you know why they won't do that? They'll be as well embarrassed. They know if my parents or siblings are embarrassed, I am also. We have families that are poor, have insanity running as a flow or possesses one thing they are hiding which is troubling their ocean. Meanwhile, you can't know it because they don't talk it about. Even if your own family don't have any of these, I'm sure it has its own problems, for we humans can't but have one or the other. Do you come out on social media mocking it? Not once!

You only mock a thing you're not part of. Some people are not Nigerians. Don't misconceive their being in the designated geographic place called NIGERIA to call them Nigerians. Just like all those who call on God are not known by Him, likewise apply. 

As for you, don't let it stem out of your mouth that it has ended for your country. If you say this enough, your life may be taken one day. You will just end. It is the law of life and death you're working and it's in your tongue. While you're gone, your country will still be existing. Be patriotic! Look for the good in or of your country and make that your emphasis. Post it with pride and speak of it in adorable words. One day, all these would have become prophecies that can solidify into tangibilities. Doing this also will teach you how to call things that be not as though they were until it manifests in the sense realm. In essence, you're living and simply acting faith. 

Psalms 122:6, KJV

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee."

From here, you now know those who will prosper.

From your mouth, don't speak evil of your leaders. They have enough problems already. More importantly, don't misconcept I'm in government or a civil servant to have written this nor am I condoning a government that should do better. I'm only a citizen like you are. Together with you, Nigeria, Africa or your own nation can be better. We pray, act and live in faith. So, we receive our preorders!

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

WHERE THE LORD MUST CONFUSE YOUR LANGUAGE

Read Gen. 11:1-9, Numbers 22

Genesis 11:9, KJV

"Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."

Don't judge a teaching by its heading. If you do, you can easily be offended and not get what the eyes have not seen nor ears have not heard that God has prepared for you that's there.

God must confuse your language. What you're building must not be completed. God must remove you from those false plans you want to hatch. What!

After the flood, the people journeyed seeking rest. They finally found rest in Shinar. A very comfortable valley to settle in. There, they decided to erect an edifice such that people would see and sigh, praising such men who have wrath such work. You see, the desire to achieve great feat or do things that would shock its hearers have been of old. Your wanting to make it or do great things must however not be to your praise first of all but God's praise. If in your pursuit to make a name for yourself, a name won't be made for the Lord, then there's no point going on such venture. 

God came to check on these men and on peeping out of heaven's window, He saw that these men would achieve what they have set their minds to do. More so, they are at advantage of being of one speech. They understand each other as well and they have solely come to agreement. If nothing however is quickly done, God's plan that men exists over the surface of all the earth won't be achieved or let's say quickly achieved. 

The very purpose for which this men have sought to build this great edifice that would reach to heaven contradicted God's. They wanted to stay together. God wanted them to spread out. 

Brethren, God cares for you and He is very much after you. Like I used to say, "it will take a miracle - a mysterious mystery for a child of God to be finally defeated." Why did I talk in this manner? Because God takes thought for each Christian. He won't allow you go on your own way. Whenever God sees a Christian beginning to thread his own path, God like any earthly father will express a yearning heart after him. He'll pursue him and seek to stop him from continuation of what he has laid hands on. That's God's salvation and deliverance on the way. You might have been on the way - already doing something but God is an interrupter. I pray He stops you from a continuation of what won't serve His purpose and then bless you at day's end. Whenever God comes to stop men at work and places stop sign at the site where they labour, they may take God for a bad God who hinders people from having their own way. No, rather see Him as one who appears to preserve you from ultimatel

Look at Balaam, it took that kind of miracle I mentioned for him to fall into error. It took obstinacy and consistency on the wrong road for him to be allowed to go his way. Yet, you could see the so many checks and balances God puts on his way to restrain him after openly defying by desiring to go with the second messengers of Balak. First of all, his donkey of many years that he's accustomed with to have not acted funny for once started acting weird. He forced the donkey to journey but an angel was in his path. Rather, the donkey turned away on several occasions and endured his beating. It got to head when the donkey spoke for a sign yet he was still not moved. He saw the angel with the drawn sword and heard what he said on how he was sent to restrain him because his way was perverse before the Lord, yet he still had inner desire to go. It was then his reprobate desire was given him out of inconvenience and unhappiness of God. May you not strive with God until you turn God's hands to have your will. In the contention for the supreme will, may God always have the last say. 

I pray, wherever you're on your own journey, building your own building, may you be intercepted. All buildings that won't serve the overall purpose of God won't be completed!
