WHO WAS SAID TO DELIVER THE RIGHTEOUS FROM THEM ALL?

Psalms 34:19,KJV

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all."

Do you know what rejoices my heart, makes me sit comfortably and assures my heart calmly that I won't perish? It's the truth that says " the duty of rescuing me will not be done by any other but by God Himself."

That place said " The Lord shall deliver him." It wasn't an army general that was mentioned but the Lord God of hosts of heaven. The one whom nothing is difficult for. As for man, many things are difficult for him. Many things poses challenges to him. He is in danger and elimination a lot. He knows he's not sufficient. That's why he seeks after gods that mutters who are not indeed God. That's in his bid to stay secure too.

And those gods? They have ears but can't hear. They have mouth but can't speak. It's just a myth. It's a fabricated lie that those gods came from heaven. These were either men who were heroic and so a legend was made out of them or just some idols carved out to seek after as God.

Look at Moses, the one who understood the rudiments of this message. He refused to go unless God Himself goes with them. He must have stumbled on this truth that there is no other person who could execute perfectly a task but God. God can't do a work and yet not perfect it.

Exodus 33:15,KJV

"And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence."

Things don't get marred in God's hands. If it does at all, He refashions it into that which seems good in His sight.

If it were the president of my nation or any of the world powers that place mentioned, I'll be shaken and would have had cause to doubt my deliverance without being singed let alone torn. If I was promised rescue by the US Army and the leading security company on earth, I should still be shivering..

Why? All of them are humans. They are prone to failure. They are vulnerable to frailties. Have you not heard a case of a man who promised another man (a less privileged) money but died before next day? Isn't the hope of the man assured broken into pieces? Surely torn asunder!

I believe God will see me through and will keep that which I have committed unto Him. I'm assured 100% like Paul if my rescue is hanged on God.

II Timothy 1:12,KJV

"For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day."

Why did I believe strongly and wholly in Him. Look at it here:

Numbers 23:19,KJV

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"

This is where the difference lies. God is a sure anchor. The anchor of man might loose without notifying me. Even if he notifies me, I'll still remain helpless. For what purpose have I called for help at the first instance?  Unforseen contingencies could hit the man that has been sent to rescue and see to my needs. At that time, he'll love himself first before loving me. Before he turns back, one might have drowned.

I therefore need a man whom nothing could catch up with, hinder or deter from saving me. I want a man that traffic jam, lack of fund, rain etc can't stop from digging me out in one piece. That person is God. I can never mistaken any man for Him.

PRAYER: Lord, I have confident in You as my present help in trouble.

Wholeness always!

THE HEART THAT GOES WITH YOU

READ II Kings 5:1-27

II Kings 5:26, KJV

"And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?"

Where can we go from the presence of God? Psalm 139 is a psalm of discovery that shows our not being able to escape from the Lord.

Psalms 139:2-3, KJV

"2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways".

God is the one that compasses your path. He is the God that surrounds you. In today's passage, Gehazi runs after Naaman to demand of him things that his master, Elisha had rejected after Naaman has been healed of leprosy. After his arrival back to the master, Elisha requested of him where he was coming from. He lied and said " thy servant went no whither (II Kings 5:25, KJV).

Elisha then replied, "went not mine heart with thee when the man alight from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to collect this and that?" The following consequence is that Gehazi is cursed and he carries the leprosy of Naaman.

You should know that God's eyes follows you all-around. There is nothing done in secret that won't be made manifest is what the Bible says. As a child of light therefore, let your deeds be wrought in God so that you won't fear being exposed. If you have good deeds, you'll want to manifest it in light/public but if your deeds are evil, you'll want darkness to cover you. This year is a year where secret sins and abominable deeds are really irritant to the Lord. You shouldn't indulge in any because God's heart and eyes would always go with you. Your conscience would bear you witness and call you to questions and order.  

There's no time like any other to stop secret sins also than now. It is God before whom we all have to do. Fear Him as one that knows all, sees all and surrounds you about. Decide today not to carry any consequence resulting from secret sins like that of Gehazi. When your ways are straight, you purchase for yourself clear conscience before men and God. Gehazi though lied he goes no where that day knew deep down that his conscience bears him witness. As he denies his master, his heart tells him, "you lie". Your first judge this year is your heart. So, pay attention. 

PRAYER: I break loose from any habitual sin. I shall keep no secret sin that would bring me losses, harm or death. I'm a child of light and I manifest so.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE UNTO THE MAN GOD DELIGHTS TO HONOUR

READ Esther 6

Esther 6:6, KJV

"So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?"

King Ahasuerus found out that Mordecai averted the death planned against him by two of his chamberlains. In order to compensate this fellow who after scrutiny was discovered to have been left unappreciated, the king requested of Haman who came to ask that Mordecai be hanged by him what he'll suggest as the honour that fits such a man that so much makes the king happy. 

Haman, having been swallowed by selfishness thought it was him. Haman therefore suggested something which was the peak of a gratifying honour for himself and for anyone who should fall into that position. He requested the fellow to be worn the king's royal apparel, ridden on the king's horse and shown around town with the shout, "this is what the king would do to whomever he is pleased with."

May you not incur the wrath of the king. If he could go to any length to bless, he could to the extreme go to hurt also. After mentioning a sampling of what honour the king could do the man he delights in, the king commanded Haman to do what he has described to him to Mordecai without diminishing one of the descriptions. 

This is how Mordecai began to have upper hand over Haman who seeks his life. Though it was hard for Haman, yet he dressed Mordecai up and showed him to the entire citizenry. It was shame to him but glory to Mordecai. 

Ask yourself as you look up to heaven while racking your head, "what could God seek to do a man He delights in?" 

We may not be able to say it is A or B for God had done a lot of different things for different people who delighted Him. For Solomon, God gave him all he didn't asked for when he delighted God by asking for a discerning heart to judge Israel. For Abraham, he believed God and God took it to the extreme by accounting it as righteousness for him. So, it varies from one person to the other. One thing that we do know is that once a man delights God like Mordecai delighted Ahasuerus, God will always go big. The compensation is always rewarding and verily felt. God just don't withold. He opens His treasure and spends it freely. Once God does you this honour, only then will you experience what it means for God to seek to do a man honour.

For you to earn God's honour isn't far fetched. Please Him. God is looking at your heart and only He really knows if you're satisfying Him. If you pass God's test of having a right heart, God seeks you to respect. May you enter into the record book of attention.

PRAYER: Lord, search me and see if there be any wicked way in me. Lead me in the way everlasting. May my life be a living sacrifice, attracting your endorsement and honour.

NOT AS LIKE OTHER TIMES

Genesis 8:10-11,KJV

"And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth."

If they have gathered and have gathered to feast on you like before; to mock you and laugh you to satisfaction, you can be assured the table has turned. "They'll be the object of mockery now" says the Lord.

Noah sent out the dovecraft to scout if the waters has abated from the face of the earth. That dovecraft is a reconnaissance aircraft. She couldn't find a landing space let alone coming back with an evidence to proof that the waters has truly subsided or dried up. Her to and fro wasn't  profitable as expected nor with an evidence of the abated waters. Mockers might have scorned. They might have said all sort of things that the experiment isn't succeeding. They must have said "the project failed and mocked till their knees knock each other." Noah accepted fate that the water has not dried up, stretched forth his hand and fetched the instrument of his experimentation into the laboratory. Noah isn't angry at the unsuccessful programme. He is neither angry at the dovecraft but rather receives her to himself and seeks trying next time.

After some time, Noah who will never give up despite the first failure puts on another experiment. He sent out the dovecraft again.  What would become of this again? Meanwhile, something has changed. The waters has abated off the surface of the earth. For this reason,the dovecraft picked an evidence to support its claim as it goes back to the base. The dovecraft went with a proof that's tangible enough to silence anyone who will doubt or raise questions about the abated water. It was a freshly plucked olive leaf.

Look at me now. Who are the ones expecting another fall or failure of yours? Who are the ones  anticipating this recent pregnancy of yours to come down like the other one? Failure! All of them have missed the point this time around. The anointing is superintending over your matter now. Tell them that the waters has abated this time around and you won't but return with evidence of a successful journey. This new pregnancy will become a child living amidst us. It is not like other times. Even Jesus Christ wasn't terminated in his mother's womb nor delivered by Caesarean section.

Those of you that have failed in businesses, came back with debt and are shy launching into another one because of the fear of the outcome; be assured that the opposite result is what will now be generated.

I declare that you receive evidences and proofs of the journey you're taking (to and fro) and the transactions you will do. 

PRAYER: Lord, abate the waters for me. Make me return with proofs of transaction. Where I've known failure before, may I be successful.

SECURITY AT ITS MAXIMUM

Joshua 6:1, KJV

"Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in."

You can take chances but you ought not to. You can't tempt God. You can't take things for granted and think of getting the best out of life. Life is lived to the fullest by those who bring special attention to it. 

Thoroughly furnished preparation can give you success. What is facing you can be prevented from conquering you if you have received ahead of time a basement of strengthening qualities in you. Israel came against Jericho but Jericho wouldn't surrender like that. To defend themselves, they closed their city gates with a description that shows their unwillingness to be conquered. That's the only opening to their city. No other space is in their city wall.

"Strait" means tight, close, tight-fitting. A thing that's tight-fitting has leaned down people that could enter. It has even shut down entrance. That is, Jericho didn't take any chance. They gave Israel no ground or advantage to get through to them. Another place in the Bible where the word "strait" was used with a very close relation to our matter here is:

Matthew 7:13 - 14, KJV

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

What you need to know is that military leaders and commanders of forces are strategists. They can deflate and bring to damnation a whole city by just a crack in the armour or an exposure thereof; which is why Jericho blocked all such opportunities against Israel. All they needed is just a thing to leverage on to confound their enemy. How I wish you'll become Jericho that is not willing to give an inch of his land to intruders. Has the Bible not spoken in Romans 13:14, KJV that "but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof." It is what you make provision for that can be fulfilled. It is what you give handles to that will creep into your life. Some are making provision for the enemy. David didn't go to battle at the time kings lead battles. He eventually made provision for sin. He entered into what made the sword not to depart from his house (II Samuel 11). Some are making ground for poverty. He's always spending like a spree when he could begin to make bricks for a house.

Make no provision for your opponent. Satan goes all around prowling, looking for whom to devour. Those he will see to devour are those who didn't close their gates tightly. I don't mean being holy but being very holy. I don't mean praying but always praying. Jericho just didn't close their gates, they did very well without leaving even the slightest space that an animal could have entered through.

Today, I'm hearing in my spirit God telling me to give you an instruction for your continuity. That's to take things very very seriously. To handle things straitly: without space or advantage for the enemy to leverage on. To handle things in such a way that even other Christians would tell you "yours is too much". Christian life should be lived in such a way that even the devil would not have a thing to accuse you of. Blamelessness is your goal. Occupy everything. Defend your ground against invaders.

PRAYER: May I be thorough. I make no provision for the flesh. I won't assist Satan against my life

5 PRACTICAL STEPS IN CHANGING LEVELS

 5 PRACTICAL STEPS IN CHANGING LEVELS

Welcome to the hows of turning a situation around or changing a Jabezial life. I am Olusola ADEJUMO, M'Wings. Come with me into the room of secrets and steps. A ladder has steps and if you take each step, you'll reach the summit. That's what my teachings of steps does every time as preached under the anointing. Here we go as you first take your time to read I Chronicles 4:9-10.

1. Come to a Realization

You can't resist what has not first been detected as not good or good enough. Don't condone nonsense. Refuse sickness, poverty, debt, failure, delay, disappointment etc. If you believe your current status is OK, you'll be calm and untroubled to seek to change it. Those that will do something about any aspect of their lives i.e career, economic, marital etc must first see the unkind state in which they are in. It is then they can give a fight. Jabez got here first of all. He saw that what others did and succeeded in, if he does it under the same preparation and conditions, he still fails! Why, despite entering like others entered? It's because a curse in form of a spirit force is superintending over his own affairs. The curse is coached in a bitter pronouncement on him at birth. If it concerns somebody else, it will work but if it is Jabez's, it must just go wrong. Discover that is not ordinary and you're on the way to getting others right. Don't argue or say things are perfectly okay. May you not be self deceived or team mate with the devil over your life and what needs change by emergency. So, check well. 

2. Be Seriously Pained for having been Static

Discovery of your state will then bring you pain, regret, unhappiness and the thought of being fulfilled or having an accomplished life just like many who are displaying their results all around for viewing. This is the stage where you're angry and seriously unhappy with that condition or limitation. You begin to wonder if you were the one that has stayed static for years without a known progress. Once you can see the things you have lost, where your mates or other professionals are that you could have been; then, you will be armed with much determination to fight for your deliverance. This is where inner resolution comes not to settle for anything less again but to seek help and be helped. This is where you're no longer ashamed to open up to a pastor or other helpers that you have problems which for fear, ego, embarrassment etc, you've kept personal. Here, you naked yourself for help to come your way. If it is a secret sin, confess it. Until then, you can't prosper or go forward. Until then, that spirit will still continue to enter through the back door to do his work through that habit you refuse to put in your past and allow to become a yesterday.

3. Picture Your Reality

Here, after being pained and after checking yourself and seeing yourself in a condition that's unwanted coupled with having regretted not having doing much or the right things to change your status all this while; then, the picture of where you should be or what you should have become now becomes a goal or vision set before you. Like a man who's running against time and time is running against, your pursuit and preparation now differs from others. This is where you do away with encumbrances as to be able to run with patience, endurance and focus to possess what you're lagging behind in. The joy in front becomes your motivation here. 

4. Make a Solid Unrepentant Decision

This is where the devil is in trouble. You make a decision to become or pursue that goal and you're resolute. Your resolution is so firm like a mountain which can't be moved or like a man who wants to take vengeance which his mind is set on. Here, you can set people over yourself to monitor and watch your growth. This is where you need a mentor or father or somebody who can continue to check on you to see you don't back down on your resolutions. Here, you need anyone who can hold you accountable.  Encouragement from such as you go also helps. 

5. Pursue & Act Differently from the Past

Here, you begin to follow after your goal. You may enroll for a course, gather fund to travel out of the country, get an extra job to double up in order to catch up. This is where all the four steps taken so far will find fulfillment. You dare not be careless here. This is where your deliverance is really. It may be spiritual, mental, physical, academic, marital or economic work that will be done. Ensure it's well done because that will now determine your result after the yoke has been destroyed by the anointing (Jer.10:27). There's difference between operating under a yoke and operating under an open heaven. If you do the same labour you've always done under the yoke under an open heaven, you'll see that you now have a bumper result where you've been toiling all night yet without still having caught a thing. Do you know why? Regardless of how much one labours under a curse, he'll still not amount. Curses by makeups, engineering, inbuilt and constitution are meant to shortchange, restrict, peg, reduce, demote, waste, make stunted, afflict, frustrate, strain etc their victims. Here, after ministration of impartation, things will become normal for you too.

Now, All Things Are New

Your step 5 well implemented will lead to this new beginning. Here, your breakthrough has finally come. You're happy you've arrived in your little way and you're celebrating it without being forgetful of where you're coming from or where you're still going. If by working some principles you get here, then you should continue the working of these same principles to get there - the ultimate future you're beholding. 

These are the steps Jabez took before he knew a change of status. He came to the realization of a wrong force working and superintending over his results in this life. He looked at where others were, where he was and should be. From that, he was pained and regretted having stood still all this while. He cried to God and He changed his status. Then, he maintained that status.

A changed status is not as important as a maintained status. If you're delivered, you must maintain deliverance. Jesus told one man, "go, sin no more lest something worse befalls you [John 5:14]."

That instruction would keep his victory victorious, continuous, unthreatened or reversed. After becoming successful, maintain being successful. That's where another warfare is and may you win that one too.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

STRONGHOLDS ARE ANSWERABLE TO DECREES 

Nahum 3:12, KJV

"All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater."

A stronghold is a place built to withstand attack. It is a refuge or fortress. In time of war, people run there. A cave can serve the purpose of a stronghold. Contradictorily, God's declaration speaks concerning the defence of Nineveh and how weak her stronghold will be - permeating the enemy. A stronghold which is meant to be a defence will now be one that rather will give way very easily to intruders. It will just be easy to break through or into it. So, security will be compromised.

Like ripe fruits fall without much effort but by just a shaking of the tree, so did God declare ease of penetration into Nineveh. To be sincere with you, God's decrees can make difficult things easy. If you know what a stronghold is, you'll know it is always intentionally built to resist external aggressions. If it's a wall for instance that's built into a stronghold, the bricks will be thoroughly baked in the furnace and given the quality of seven times processing. Apart from that, it won't be like our normal nowadays fence in width. Like the wall of Jericho, it could be a wall that two vehicles could comfortably drive on - one going, one coming at the same time. That may be the width. Imagine a fence with the width of an express road. This made such hardly breakable. To break walls like this, Uzziah during his reign gave special attention to the building of engines and machines that shoot arrows from towers and at the same time haul stones. To break through such, one will need to haul persistently a specially made combo stone at a specific place until holes are made in there for soldiers to enter (II Chronicles 26:15 & Ezekiel 26:9). Defences are not easily broken even in sports because it's specially made to resist and withstand the opponent especially the front line attackers. You can fight it but it is meant to tire you until you drop.

Why this very payment to attention? Because it's a wall meant to serve as a protection, hiding place and a keeper at distance of offensive launches. They call such walls bulwark. Imagine such a stronghold well built by the best of minds to keep lives and properties in the city safe now being made into ABC for its attackers at God's declaration. What's the thing that could be likened to a stronghold - which is not giving you a way to pass and penetrate in this life? May God make the decree of ease that will make what Satan calls stronghold open to you of its own accord.

Many times, men's minds don't know how to grab with difficulties. However, what they view as threat is settled before their arrival at the location of its encounter. For example, an angel rolled away the stone at the tomb's mouth for those caring and seeking women (Mark 16:3-4) which they had concerned themselves with. At their arrival, God had made difficult things easy for them.

That's the covenant of ease. Before you press, it opens. It's like getting to the ATM machine and withdrawing once from the same machine that didn't dispense for hundreds. When the covenant of ease taints your head, the key in your hands will have no work to do; your effort and strength will be saved and things will be happening for you by God's finger and supernatural power.

Brethren, Jesus makes difficult things easy. Come to Him today and tastes how strongholds can become a tree shaken once with an immediate release of all its fruits.

Today, you won't be denied entry. Access is given you. Receive an entrance and a penetration. No more bounce back but rather an opening even in the toughest of the toughest. For you to have your way, I see God betraying strongholds to you and making holes and loopholes in them for you.

PRAYER: Jesus, You make difficult things easy - give me the covenant of ease and peace. Let strongholds open to me even at my first attempt.
