RECEIVING AT THE STIRRING

Read John 5:1-9

John 5:3-4, KJV

"3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had."

May we not be left alone to ourselves and devices. May divinity always join with us at all times and greatly when ministration is sought after.

What can you do unless there's a stirring? The water itself won't move. The congregation will just be still with nothing to jump for joy for. In these Solomon porches were laid many impotent folks. When there is no activity, everybody sits down quietly only in expectation of what can bring activity. There's only one thing that does that. It is the stirring of the water. Until that move of God, you won't see the craving of these invalids to get healed. No one will make an attempt to be healed.

With the description in our reading, we know what becomes consequent at the stirring of the water. The impotents rush into the water seeking healing of whatsoever diseases they have. You see, there can't be movement, race or competition to outrun another unless an angel has stirred the water and is visible to each that the water has been stirred. 

The stirred water is off course an empowered water with healing virtue residual in it. Afore then, it lacks power to turn anything. Does that tells you that natural can't become supernatural until super joins it. That 'super', God is the custodian. Such armed water is what they rush to meet and interact with.

Is this not how you should be taught to receive from God's anointed men? At times, when a minister prays or makes declarations, the congregation or those lacking in estimation treats it as casual. They just stand still. No rushing to the altar. No standing up to receive. No lifting of hand or showing off in a posture that only faith and hunger drives. Lack of faith at every ministration is why ministration is being wasted. It's not that God has not been showing up. If there's a provision made ready for you but which you don't partake of, will it benefit you? If when the water was stirred, nobody gets into it, will the first man on contact be healed? Did you see why people have taken God as a liar and His anointed men as scammers. However, that was not the attitude of those at this pool's side. A stirring of the water draws all of them towards the pool. They will immediately seek to tap, touch and key into it for their healing. They know once this move of God is exhausted or bypassed me, I'll have to wait till a season I can't predict. Even if that season comes on, who knows if it's not another that would be the beneficiary of the stirred water?

I'm perceiving by God's Spirit to tell you that when proclamations are made by any anointed, it is your responsibility to say, "Amen. I receive it." What you esteem will show in how fast you absorb and receive such. If the mercy of God is limited also, how many people will receive of God's goodness with their slowness and sluggishness in receiving? Much education is becoming madness to some people. Instead of enlightenment, it rather causes more blindness. There are the set who will say, "what connection do receiving has to do with happening." Okay, stay there and let your yoke remain from generation to another. Medical science don't break yokes. It is the anointing! Until anointing ploughs that road open, medical science can't come in. 

Look, when the anointing comes upon the anointed, God draws near to show His willingness. It is not the man now but the God of the man. Without the stirring of the water in today's passage, a person on contact can't be healed. Yokes will rather continue bugging people down. Without God showing up through His anointed also, same happens. Problems aren't solved and burdens aren't dissolved. So, it is an act of God's generosity when the anointing hits somebody and under that influence makes pronunciation that addresses people's matters. Any that receives it will be set free, made whole and blessed. If God's willingness is available to minister; there should be people's willingness to receive. 

Let me ask you, how swift do you attend to divine receiving? Your life depends on it. Those invalids were left to the mercy the stirred water has to offer. There are moments when humans can find themselves in problems money can't solve. Such declarations are therefore very important to your salvation.

I pray for you, you won't be slow at heart nor dull of hearing. Your perception will be opened. Today, I bulldoze your problems and burdens by God's anointing on me. What is the sickness, disease (curable or incurable) you have reports over? Receive a different report now. I plough through your land and declare healing and open heaven on you. So shall it be in Jesus name. Amen.

PRAYER: Lord, may I not lose awe for You. May I see and move at once. May I not offend You through those you've put anointing on. May my disbelief not be counted as sin.

I'VE BEEN RELEASED

READ I Samuel

Ecclesiastes 9:7, KJV  

"Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works."

Unless you're released, you'll have to tarry. What will make you tarry is the answer of peace that's needed. No one will force you to but you'll voluntarily see the need for it. Even when it is not taught, one somehow comes to learn that he can't but wait. Need drives people to tarry. Even if it has not been a usual act previously, it does immediately. Fellowship can be voluntary or forced. Never wait until a need in your life forces it on you. Cultivate it, let it grow into a habit until you begin to enjoy it.

Hannah wept and cried for a child. It was from a bitter heart. Eli complicated it when he mistaken her for a drunkard. At the putting of things into proper perspective by her narration, the man of God, Eli now seeing correctly puts a seal on her prayer and releases her.

I Samuel 1:17, KJV

"Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him."

What could have been a tarrying for very long for Hannah was brought to an end because a response was given on time. From this passage, we see how prayer is a two way thing. Hannah prayed to God and heard God respond through Eli. When you bend to pray, it meets that you must collect feedbacks. Often, feedback is the prove that you climbed up. You must have something to present.

Hannah was exempted and released. God is merciful. He beholds people in their affliction. May He sees you too. May your prayers, work and acts be acceptable in His sight. May what you have brought not be thrown back at you. May it rather commands God's respect. May it lead to your release from the place of personal affliction of one's soul with fasting.

PRAYER: Lord, appear to me through the anointing and the anointed. Put a crown on my prayers.

WHEN YOU'VE MADE AN IMPRESSION

READ I Kings 3:1-15

I Kings 3:4-5, AMP

"4 The king went to Gibeon [near Jerusalem, where stood the tabernacle and the bronze altar] to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place. One thousand burnt offerings Solomon offered on that altar. 5 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. And God said, [b]Ask what I shall give you."

When you impress, you will reap the consequence. There's an impression that really impresses. How I pray that you will impress rightly so that you can reap where you've sown impression. 

Any who impresses is like a sower who sows weeping, he will doubtlessly come back to reap in joy. The day you begin to do something with all that's inside you (not considering cost) is the day you've begun to walk on the road of impressing those it may concern whether you do it to be seen or not. While we're not taken thought to be seen and applauded necessarily and first of all by men, yet excellence that's practised consistently which is our aim and trademark can't but earn us the reward of having rightly impresses someone. 

Solomon without even taking thought for the reward of impression just did his own as unto the Lord (and not to be seen by men) and the surprise of impression jumped at him. He was baffled when the Lord goes to the uttermost by asking him to fill a blank cheque He presented before him. Though it was in his dream yet I could see an element of surprise not written there there.

Do you think somebody just get turned on the inside as to say, "ask anything of me which I shall do for you?" No! Solomon had sacrificed 1000 burnt offerings before then. That was what impressed God. God must have muttered and thought to Himself, "how could he have done that?" To Solomon, what he did was not costly to him (though costly indeed). It was not costly nor a thing to price before doing because it was his love for Jehovah that propelled him into going to that extreme to give to God. When you know the value of a person, you can expend and consume uncountable on them.  No wonder, God in a burning passion and like one in utmost forgetfulness (hypnotized) comes back  to tell him to name anything at His own (God's) expense. It's like a child who has impressed his parents by passing a respected exam which made the parents tell him to request for anything afterwards to commend, compensate, celebrate and approve of his labour and high sacrifice. The withdrawal is on the parents. He has sacrificed to impress them ahead of time. Now is the time of recompense and return.

Today, I heard in my spirit, it is time to impress God, Jehovah, the One that matters most. When you please Him, He only can make your enemy even be at peace with you. Then, you can strive to earn the blank cheque of any man that you should satisfy and surprise.

As for us in Morning Wings Ministry, we've satisfied and impressed Jehovah. The voice that I heard not long ago was "this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased, listen to him." Our reward for satisfying Him is that people shall listen, take cognizance of us and give their obedience to us worldwide. So says the Lord God who authors us all!

PRAYER: Lord, teach me sacrifice for you. May I be willing to give you of what you've given me.

THE BRIDLED HORSE

READ James 3

James 3:3, KJV

"Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.'

Horses are animals of strength. No wonder, they're used in battles. Have you not wonder where it gets its strength to bear burdens, drag wagons or carriage from etc? God gave it to it.  An average horse irrespective of breed has marvellous ability that can be unpacked for the benefit of mankind. A singular kick from a horse can kill a human! From speed to strength;  to its bravery at war and to its ability of being malleable - as to yield to training or the will of its trainer, horses are just desirable. 

Despite being these useful, an unbridled horse isn't useful to man. It is rather a full fledged danger. If it is not bridled, the usefulness can't be wholly enjoyed. What benefit will man take from an unbridled horse than to have a broken back? Have you ever seen a rider on the horse's back before without the horse being bridled first of all? No, they know the rule.

In capturing any horse, it must be bridled. Bits must be  put in its mouth by which the rider would turn its whole body easily. Horses are always out of hand unbridled. They will always lose control, run hay wire or do their own will. Meanwhile, a bridled horse is brought home. Even if it's a narrow path you want to walk but which is on both sides surrounded by water, a bridled horse that has been tamed in this wise by the rider can be taken and pointed to pass through such narrow path without swerving to the left or right of the waterways. 

Your installed capacity as a man can't be utilized or maximally utilized until you're bridled as a Christian also. Bridling suggests an act of putting under restriction or control and until a Christian loses his will for the exercise of his Master's,  he may not know he could be used to accomplish more on this earth. Think of what we can use a bridled horse to perform and what we can get from an unbridled. That's an immediate allusion to what a man under a good leadership or structure can become. Don't think you can bring out the best in you. Horses themselves don't know their best but humans does and so harnesses it to bring out those best. You need a trainer. You need somebody to use you as to discover you.  

When a horse is bridled according to that verse, what do we have them do? We have them obey us. It means without the bridling, there's no obedience. If you've seen a bridled horse being ridden before, you'll observe it still gallops and does as if it wants to fall off its rider. Yet, that's a fully bridled horse with reins in the hands of its rider for balance. Now, what if it were an unbridled one? 

Obedience is first of all the consequence of bridling. If you're under Jesus' lordship, you must obey. Being born again brings you under His lordship. Only by then can your whole body be easily turned about. Your whole body is your whole affairs. Lack of submission is why many Christians can't be ruled over nor brought to their destinations. A bridled horse loses its will to the rider. That's where God wants you get to where what He ordains for you is what you do while leaving what you could have done. A horse is praised for its excellence because of this yet it isn't something she also wants to do naturally. That you don't like it don't mean you don't need it. 

The horse has inner abilities but it is man that  bridles the horse to help it accomplish these abilities. If you surrender like clay in the hands of a potter as well, what God and good leadership will use you do will be unto or even greater than what man trains or bridle a horse to do. 

PRAYER: Lord, where am I out of control, put me under control. I submit to your Lordship and any godly physical structure you've given me.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR SPECIAL ANOINTING

 YOUR SPECIAL ANOINTING

There's a thing known as your special anointing. If you're anointed with a specific mandate to fulfill, you'll have this anointing reside permanently in your call. However, it is not a permanent anointing. It is not permanent in that, it goes and comes. 

When you're ministering, this special anointing can announce itself as an interrupter. Ask teachers who are also healers or prophets. When they're at work and the mercy/willingness of God or the faith of a fellow in the congregation is placing strong demand or obligation on God to meet their needs, God by His Spirit will visit the minister ministering. 

Immediately, he'll have awareness that the Spirit of ease has come. He knows by experience that he must stop the ongoing ministration to administer that anointing right away, there and then. This anointing is like the food you buy in disposables. After eating it, you do away with the disposable. In like manner, once you minister to what you know by interpretation the anointing that has just descended on you should be used for, it lifts. You will always know when it comes and when it's to leave.

When it comes on some ministers, they become unusually heavy as if they're wearing on them a coat of mail. Some will be feeling wet. Some will feel warm. The palm of some especially healers will look as if it has been set ablaze. They may even be receiving a liking to lay hands on people. At times, it may be promptings to speak only for those who are speakers. 

That's the effect of that special anointing. It is strong and it always announces itself. All ministers are anointed but each minister has an anointing for special capabilities. That's not common. 

I know an elderly minister who's very much respected in Nigeria and beyond. When he's teaching, he will pause often: at very irregular intervals to hand out prophecies. Do you know why? God is showing him things. That anointing for ministration is at work. After such revelation, he can proclaim by decreeing or administering the anointing by contact (which is very rare for him to do) because of the millions he ministers to. Many times, I've only watched him speak into people's lives to address their situations or say what God is doing. At that very hour he decrees, don't doubt God, what he said God said he should announce is either concluded or ongoing. Testimonies or hard copy is what you should request for if you so desire proofs.

Ministers, this anointing is your leverage. Don't let it shy away from showing often when you minister. Don't grieve the Spirit or else He'll fold His arms in your life. So, always have the attitude and spirit-posture that will make it readily available. Fast, pray, maintain holiness and be sensitive. To upcoming ministers, you will learn the outworking as you grow and learn better to yield to the Holy Spirit at this dimension. There should be nothing you're doing that should be too exalted to drop once it comes. 

Don't worry however if you're ministering and the anointing doesn't show up all the time. Minister by faith then and you can still get the job done. But if this bulldozing anointing visits, quickly ride on his back and do whatsoever with it as soon as it tarries. This anointing is like the dew that disappears as the sun sets out. It's like manna that melts when the sun comes out also. So, you can't be careless with it or else your congregation will remain needy and go home unattended to. For yokes to be broken big time, you must heed this anointing.

Did anyone exhibit this in the Bible? Yes. Samson. Just let's dwell on him only. Read Judges and dwell on Samson's entire life. You'll observe a pattern by which God visits him. What I'm describing fits that pattern. 

You'll see that that anointing always hits him when it's time for ministration. Until the eleventh hour or to twelve, the anointing won't surface. Read all these passages to see how it happens often to him.

Judges 14:5-6, KJV

"5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. 6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done."

Judges 15:14, KJV

"And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands."

Look at these two instances, the anointing - that special anointing didn't descend on him until the need or thing to evacuate was at hand. At times, it comes unannounced but you should know that your Parakletos is here for your aiding. Samson knew whenever it arrives. 

The special anointing I talk about is like that. For some ministers, they have it to eject demons. If the anointing should come around like this, they won't have to be shouting and persist in "go out. I said, go out." It will be as soon as they hear of me, foreigners cringe before me. They all lose heart, coming out of their hiding places. 

So, today, this is an explanation coming to your way as a minister. Take heed to it and stop wasting this anointing whenever it comes. 

May you experience God in a new dimension to counteract the devil's oppressive works in people's lives.

IF YOUR LIFE MUST CHANGE

I Chronicles 4:9-10, KJV

"9 And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow. 10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested."

There is the conventional crying or action while there's the unconventional. Jabez cried! He cried! Why did Jabez call on God? He cried because he wanted to change his situation. The situation Jabez met himself was not his creation. Whether it was however his creation or not isn't the ultimate. Where the matter is is changing the situation. You can't forever mourn the past when you should take responsibility for the future. Jabez had been cursed subtly at birth and he needed to break off from this pronouncement that has been moulded into a yoke which yielded to him undesirables.

On that note, he called on the God of Israel. He attacked and addressed a particular quarters. He knows every good and perfect gift comes from above. Now, before he cried, he came to the discovery of something not good. He got to a place where having spoken with himself, he decided not to continue that way again. He must off course have seen a lot of disgraces and embarrassments which brought him to himself to say, "enough!" He wanted freedom and he set his mind on it and not any other thing. If you had met Jabez at this time and had asked him what he wanted, he would have mentioned one thing, "change." Jabez knew what to address and then who to address. It was God he called unto. He didn't cry to the mother and say, "make another pronouncement." You must know where to face, who to appeal and draw your requests on.

How many people are tired of where they are, who they are and the repeating happenings in their lives? Until you are tired and wanted a turn of event, you can't take a corresponding action. Jabez got to this brink. He got where he knew nobody would turn things for him except he does it himself. Therefore, like Jephthah, he took his life into his hands and advocated for his cause from the Father. He petitioned God. Like an angry man, he refused to leave God alone nor be comforted. God saw the desperation and signed his demands.  

Come and see contention in the spirit. When Jabez cried to God, it is equal to fighting that curse or label put on him in the spirit. There was a violent reaction. Things shook in the spirit and what was the result eventually?

Jabez then became a new being. One who could be described as being honourable than the children of his mother. But that was not Jabez before. A new Jabez now walks the town. Hallelujah!

Today, may your identity change. May you be known otherwise from the past. May there be a turning and a wide distance from how you're negatively described to how you'll begin to be positively described. 

But before any of these will happen, you must come to the realization of your condition. You must be pained. You must be angry to have a new life. When you are, then you'll see new ideas, actions etc flooding you as practical steps by which your life, status etc would change. Jabez prayed. You may not necessarily pray but rather may take actions which you've never taken before that will bring that new dawn on you.

PRAYER: Sensitize me to what I should resist. Let my awareness lead to unconventional acts to desire change. I receive a distinction that deviates from past's reputation.

BECAUSE IT IS YOUR SEASON

Read Psalm 1

Psalms 1:3, KJV

"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

The righteous is like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth his fruit in his season. What your gaze must be fixed on is _"that brings forth his fruits in his season."_ Do you know some things won't just yield unless their seasons come. If you know this, you'll quickly be hastened as a Christian to discern and separate between what you can accrue any time any day and what can only be received in its day.

There is a thing like " _the day, the time or the season_ ." If it is not the season for a leaf to fall off its branch, it won't fall unless you pluck it off. If it's not day for the sun to shine or night for the moon to peep out, you won't see either. Though they both wanted to be seen at the peak of their performances, yet they stick to the rule of their seasons. Season naturally calls you into manifestation even without your taking thought for it. That's why you have to pray that your season will come upon you. It is not age that determines season but the ordaining of God and how cooperative we are with God on our journey. Some by their own acts are delaying or postponing the ripening of their seasons though it has been afore fixed that they manifest or bring forth someday. Stop sinning, stop not putting preparation in place for the D-day.

If that tree bears fruits in its own season, the message is that you must bring forth at your season. It means some things must happen or be fulfilled upon you because of their time which has mature and is fixed. You're not destined not to be productive. You carry in you the seed that gives birth. That place says, "he brings forth HIS FRUIT in his season." Did you see? Some fruits were allotted to him. That is, whether he likes it or not, he must bring forth something which is his. God has destined you to.

Unless seasons come for some things, no matter how you try, you can't force result. If at your season, you however are not productive, then there's an attack and a curse of the devil hindering that. I break it off you in Jesus name. What did the Bible say here?

Psalms 102:13, KJV

"Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come."

Why would God arise? ...because that fixed time has come. That's all. Nothing added and nothing removed. Singularly, that's the reason for God's coming through for Zion. 

Are you not Zion today? Your season has come. If it's your season for it to happen or be done, it means it can't be hindered because things must answer at their seasons. A law is there and an angel watches over your season to ensure that it is kept. You won't miss seasons! 

I pray for you, because your season has come, you'll be productive in your calling and career. You'll be favoured, sought after and things would happen for you faster and better than you've been labouring to make happen. Alas, the season has come upon you. Result can't be hindered again because the Law and the Lord of seasons are watching to perform to you in your season. 

PRAYER: Lord, help me by early discovery not to miss seasons. Restore to me any missed season/opportunities. Watch over my season with jealousy for accomplishment of purpose.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, Acts 23:11-35, Psalm 3:1-8, Proverbs 18:14-15
