WHY THEY CARRY A MISSIONARY AWAY

READ II Kings 5:1-19

II Kings 5:2, KJV

"2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife."

When God wants to penetrate a place which for some reasons is difficult to penetrate, one of the things God subtly does is to allow somebody to be carried away to such place. I hope you've heard of wind or water dispersed seeds that are carried from one place to the other. The air or the water is the means by which they're spread. Now, why the carrying away? God knows the need for a preacher.

Romans 10:14-15, KJV

"14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"

Syria carries a young girl away from Israel when it's raided. This girl obviously knows God and must have tasted of God's power. She must have been one of many who with joy mounts up to the house of the Lord.

She was carried off but her content was not known. Nobody knows she contains the Bible and some soul winning valuables. As God would position her amidst the so many people carried captive, she was posted to wait on Naaman's wife - an influence in the land that could influence the whole nation. She must have been serving them as the Bible that the heathen reads before she subtly but in a relaxing way slicks in the gospel. She said unto her mistress, "would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy."

Naaman didn't know God nor his household. The journey to a nation knowing God starts many times in this way. That's how his leprosy was cleansed by Elisha. Naaman having been won by the power of God and His free gift requested for sand from Israel to build an altar where he'll serve Jehovah in his country. That means he took the gospel back to Syria. After his cleansing, you'll see that that little missionary wasn't released to go back to Israel. She must have been given free hands to serve God in her master's house better than before. If her faith had been secretive, she now has a ground to bring it into the open in the entire household. I so much believe that Naaman after being won might have asked her to explain the scriptures to him like the Ethiopian eunuch requested of Philip. Look, God is a subtle God. Naaman has a problem and God meets it. It's difficult for somebody to reject you whose life's long need you met. There are high officials in many nations of the world that for the gospel to reach, you'll have to focus on their problems and not first Christ. They won't be offended like that. They'll so much see you as caring until it is too way long for them to recover from all you've done.

Did you notice that girl only speaks about meeting the need of her master? She didn't say "first get born again". That only follows after the miracle. Miracle is a sign to the heathen (John 4:48).

Your positioning where you are is strategic. Are you an air hostess who by your positioning serves highly placed people? Let God shows you the need of the nobles on board and sure capitalize on that to get them saved. Even the devil makes people sin by finding an already open space into their lives.

If you're kidnapped as a Christian or mistakenly carried away somewhere, it is for a purpose. As long as you will disperse abroad the seed of the gospel, God has no problem keeping and feeding you even in a foreign land. There are places where a shoot at sight has been issued against the Bible. One of such is North Korea. The Bible is seen as herald of Western culture. Under that pretext, God is shut out. In North Korea, the government and the ruling family are God and should be so treated. While there are other nations who haven't decreed outrightly against the Bible, their systems are built to resist Christianity or its flowering as well. Can God smuggle you into this sort of places? When you go on State or whatsoever scholarship to such places, consider yourself an undercover agent for Christ but not with obvious identity that reveals you as an evangelist or missionary.

God penetrated some difficult lands just on a visit of a gospel bearer who sows the seed. He's considered a tourist yet a missionary in disguise. We all have a call this morning to see to it that this gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is preached everywhere in the earth. That includes nations and places that locks it out. May you be found an available vessel to sow what will become a national salvation to a person - especially an influential citizen.

PRAYER: Father, teach me the art of evangelism. Sensitize me to people's needs for evangelism. May you always give us a Naaman or an Ethiopian Eunuch that could preach to the rest.

LOOKING UNTO JESUS

Hebrews 12:2, KJV

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

You must know that to be distracted is very easy. The very reason why you must intentionally practice selective looking. In today's verse, we are told to look unto Jesus. Looking unto Him and remembering something about Him can keep us through ours.

Literally, a thing you look unto is a thing you focus your gaze on. Your concentration is on such. Jesus in that verse is said to be taken as our model who endures shame for the joy set before Him. If we take Him as our model and continually remember how He struggled to win, we also will be mindful enough not to let go even when it's tough. We can't say we are alone or have nobody who has passed through the challenges we're passing through. Even if it's not the same challenge or situation, trying or hardship of a sort might be common to it both.

A thing you constantly set before you is what you see. That's why the Psalmist says this.

Psalms 16:8, KJV

"I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved."

The remedy to not being moved in this life is setting the Lord before yourself. Something will come around that's enough reason to be shaken or moved. You'll be tried but those who will remain like hills surrounding Jerusalem which can't be moved will be those that have set the Lord before themselves. When you set God before yourself until He constantly takes the elegant place in your life (your right hand side) - showing importance and priority, you'll see that you can't be moved. Those who can't be moved are people who are constantly meditating and have established a strong belief in God. They've given Him the place of God who's all able. They're those who also creates the mental picture of the Almighty and His almightiness before themselves while putting themselves in constant remembrances of His fearful acts. These are people who like David have not forgotten in a hurry the past works of the Lord but could firmly reminisce and say, "the Lord that delivers me from the paws of the lion and the bear will deliver me from this uncircumcised Philistine also." Those that would remember God's great act in the past are those who can have Him believed to be able to settle future arisings.

Have you set the Lord before yourself? If He's not your focus, your meditation all day till He is giving a place in your life where He reigns as very important in your matters (to the extent that you can't do a thing without consulting Him), you'll easily be lost or give up when the storm arises.

PRAYER: Lord, may my daily practices show I've set you before me and that you're at my right hand. May I not be moved. May I see you as a worthy model to look unto and to.

THE HEART THAT  GOES WITH YOU

READ II Kings 5

Judges 5:28, KJV

"The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?"

If no one concerns himself with you, there is a person who should do. When I look at how big the world is; how challenging the affairs of this world are; how easily man can be defeated to give up, I recon one must have his own. There's need to have one or those who would take thought of one. This may be spouse, parents, friends, relatives e.t.c.

There's no one that's absolutely alone. If no one takes thought of you, God does. Be consoled!

Psalms 8:4, KJV

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"

"Being mindful" is to take thought for someone. It is to concern yourself with such and all his affairs. Whenever you're under attack to think no one cares, always remember there's One who says "you're of more value than many sparrows" (Matthew 10:31). If He sees you so, He can't but dedicate time to muse over you and what concerns you. If it were not so, it shouldn't have been, "He who watches over Israel never sleeps nor slumbers." Everyday and every night, He thinks of you. You're the one He busies Himself with.

Sisera that was an enemy to Barak and Israel was the beloved of a mother and some people. There were people that were praying that Sisera must not die. His mother who waited in suspense to have him back was one. The maids who waited on his family were one. He was their master and unto him they looked for bread. Many others that derived their source from him were others also. Just bear it in mind that if nobody cares for you, you will always have an allocation of at least a person who will do. Sisera didn't lack his own lovers though he was God's enemy. All men can't look away from your direction. Yours will be measured to you.

When we marry, what we do is to acquire or arrogate the commitment of somebody to ourselves only. We personalize them. Your spouse is committed to you and you only in this world. He/she is made and given to you. Not another man or woman.  They're your possessions. Your personal thing. If the struggle for commitment rises even from his or her family, his or her loyalty should prioritize you. It can never be first and foremost to his parents e.t.c.

When Sisera went on the journey of no return and should have been back according to the time they were watching for him, somebody went into frenzy and became disturbed over him. Look at me. I say it again, "if nobody takes thought over you, someone at least would do." Out of all the people in Sisera's world, somebody took notice of him. No one can be absolutely bad and not have his own people. We all have received an allotment of men from God. You have your fan even if you don't acknowledge them or discern they are.

One of the cries of human beings in this our world is identification. All of us desire to be sought after. We desire to be in the memory of people. There's no woman that doesn't pray for a husband who will go all his way to take thought of her. Someone who will call while she's at work. Someone she won't have to remind of her birthday. Someone who won't need a teaching to discern an occasional gift do touch the hearts of females and make them open up. Yea, that's the kind of person we all desire. Marriage amidst all other relationships is the greatest of all that calls the attention of the other on you completely. Marriage focuses your spouse on you. Once you're married, if the whole world is against you, your spouse should still be for you because his calling is to be your cover.

There's a heart that goes with you. Motherhood in this passage found full expression in the act of Sisera's mother. Like our mothers would ascertain if their children have reached their destinations or not, so did this woman. She must have prayed for Sisera before going to battle. While Sisera was at battle, she was also interceding. Only that God was not siding with Sisera but Barak. So, if you want to excel in life, always look for someone that God is with currently and join such. You'll always be preserved and blessed. If God has left a Saul for a David but you're still with a Saul, you are an endangered fellow. You're not different from a man with head knowledge who lacks grace that can appeal people.

Elisha, the man of God told Gehazi, "went not my heart with you when the man alight from his chariot to meet thee? (II Kings 5:26)." In essence, as Gehazi ran after Naaman to collect those things, Elisha in the Spirit was following. It's like watching a live football match. As it is being played, you're seeing all as it happens. It's not that it had happened and they're replaying it for you. It's rather live and direct.

This heart of Elisha was the same Sisera's mother had for Sisera. As Sisera that day left in his chariot which is typical of an armoured or bullet proof vehicle today, the mother kept following him. A heart went after him because that heart was concerned with anything that concerns him. May you find your men. May God give you the specie that would take thought over you. Not all men care. Like sheep, they've gone astray and off to their own things. Selfishness is what rules the world now. But if you have anyone that can be pestering you with calls to ascertain whether you've eaten, gotten home, alighted at the bus stop, boarded a taxi or had had rest e.t.c, just know you're lucky because there are many who are fantasizing and catching cold for someone to show them this loyalty of "I BELONG TO YOU" without seeing one.

The cord that binds a child with his mother is so strong that many mothers might not want to relinquish their office to hand over to their son's wife at marriage. They may still want to continue to superintend in care for him like before. Mothers should hear this. Once your son marries, you must step down from the throne of his life and receive his wife as his queen. You rather will become a queen mother that they'll be checking on once in a while but your son's wife is the queen that will daily see this king. So, let the areas of specialization be well defined. Your contribution should be much in prayers for them. It shouldn't be to compete or outcompete his wife. Never stir the jealousy of your son's wife. Never incur her wrath or else a coup could be planned against you and your son might forever not visit home or only does reluctantly. Rather, do handing over. Hint your son's wife the weaknesses of your son, what he likes best and how by your observation over the years, she can enjoy him or have him totally for herself. Afterward, withdraw and watch at a distance.

I pray for you, you won't be taken away to punish the heart that takes thought of you. The Bible says, "your law is my meditation all day long" (Psalm 119:97). There is one at least unto whom you have become a meditation. At least, you are to your beloved and your beloved is to you. If such loses one, do you think it would go well with such? That's why you must be preserved for such to enjoy. I pray, you won't be suddenly taken away when your purpose is still being felt. You'll rather tarry and grow more useful.

PRAYER: Lord, preserve the fellow that has become my meditation. I shall not be snatched away from my lovers (family e.t.c) and my lovers from me.

THE KING AGAINST WHOM THERE'S NO RISING UP 

READ Exodus 15

Acts 9:6, KJV

"6 And he trembling and astonished said, LORD, WHAT WILT THOU HAVE ME TO DO? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do."

Down the line of history, men have accrued power and made themselves into a demigod to be feared and cringingly obeyed.  Even in this civilization, we still have countries that their rulers rule supreme and demands reference like God. North Korea bears testimony. Against a dictator like the one there, there's no rising up. Acts of rebellion against him are intolerable which makes rising difficult.

You have to know that you and God can't enter into the contest of who will first blink. You won't only blink (break down and consequently give in), you might run blind (totally vanished into oblivion or extinction) if his hand becomes heavy on you. One of such men that rose against God out of ignorance that pretended to be zeal was Saul of Tarsus. God saw his heart to serve Him yet he was doing the opposite. He was observing tradition and defending it, believing it was for God. He seeks to flow with the High Priest (God's supposedly representative), yet all of them were in error. God might have been merciful to him considering this and the fact that he just needed to be tamed as predestination has written him a chosen instrument who will preach Him even to nobles yet suffering many things also (Acts 9:15-16).

This Paul that went proudly in boasts to the High Priest to collect a letter that would authorize him bind any that belongs to the way was one that now becomes soft tempered after the Lord had dismounted him from his bunk. Saul was so soft that when the Lord introduced Himself to him as the One He persecutes, he had no more spirit to rival or go further in contest. He rather asked like a prisoner of war, "what would you have me do?" He was brought into agreement!

Are you seeing submission? This was the man that the perspective of him we had at the beginning of that chapter was that of a chimera. Now, he has been cooled down. The tamer has touched him and indeed he has been tamed. Without a chain, he was bound and faithfully followed instructions that he knew could only lead to the restoration of his eyes. He was told to rise and go into the city where things would be shown him. Who don't know that a receiver of an instruction is submitted to the giver? Over the once boastful Saul, God has gained glory and victory like He gained over Pharaoh and his proud host (Exodus 15:1).

How many people are there persecuting Christians all over the world? It is Jesus you're persecuting and He will triumph gloriously over you. Some people like the High Priest may be supporting, financing and authenticating you to do more. They'll only put you face to face with God. The High Priest was at home when Saul met with Jesus face to face. The brunt will be yours to bear. 

Those whom God rose against testified of their encounters. Like Jacob, they still do behold often the indelible memory they sustained while striving it out with God. Yahweh is the One against Whom there's no rising up. 

Proverbs 30:31, KJV  

"A greyhound; an he goat also; and a king, against whom there is no rising up.

He towers any dictator or most feared fellow you may know. May He not lay what you're doing to your charge. Rising against a king shows rebellion but God is the One against whom there's no rising and there ought not to be one. You can stand to rebel against God but God doesn't have to take much thought against subduing you because you exist in the palm of His hands. The inhabitants of the earth are as grasshoppers before Him. If that be, what sort of mind ye ought to possess? May you know your boundary that God has given you liberty to go far but not farther. Just like He sets for the water, He has one set for man also (Psalms 104:9). He is the One that determines how long we can last in any battle against Him and I know no human can last a  second against God.

PRAYER: Father, forgive my ignorance wherever I have contended with Your will. Input it not to me as sin. May you teach me submission and agreement with You rather. Encounter persecutors of the church worldwide and fight for those who have gone to the end of the earth . Against You, there's no rising up.

TO THE END THAT PEOPLE MIGHT BELIEVE

John 1:7, KJV

"The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe."

The work of a witness is to testify of something or somebody. John isn't the true light but he bears witness to that true light. All Christians have a call to be witnesses of our Lord Jesus Christ even to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).

We're to testify of Him and preach the gospel. God's intention is that through us others might believe. That's why it's impossible for people to hear or believe in the gospel without a preacher of the good news.

Romans 10:14, KJV  

"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"

So, it's a privilege being a witness actually! John bears witness of Jesus. John didn't come to speak of Himself. He came to do Jesus honour by pointing people's attention to Him, His worth and His ministry. There is a kind of estimation that John gave to Jesus' ministry that made people cut off from John to be with Jesus. When John started witnessing and speaking in admiration of Jesus and His ministry, people left his (John's) ministry to join Jesus'. 

John 1:36-37,KJV

"36And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!  37 And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus."

John witnessed of the true Light. He didn't turn the flashlight on himself. Ahead of time, he had told the truth without denying it that  "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:" (Matthew 3:11,KJV).

He told them "there is One amidst you whom you know not." That One amidst them is Jesus Christ who has the better ministry of fire and Holy Ghost baptism. You will agree with me that the witnessing of John led some people into believing in Jesus and His ministry.

So also, we're to witness. The witnessing I'm talking about is not only preaching the gospel but rather liking and giving good comments to what somebody has said or has written. Let's assume you hear a minister's sermon and you were blessed but didn't keep it to yourself but rather witness the things in that sermon to someone and tell people from whom you've heard such things that are powerful; do you know you've done something? Somebody could become a member of that denomination or ministry just like that. When you speak of the miracles, signs and wonders you saw; you'll be working on people's hearts to create interest in that minister whom God is using. Witnessing is what gives anyone disciples. A man that's ill spoken off cannot have disciples. A product ill spoken off can't have users. A dirty reputation won't gain followers. You will see that throughout that chapter that chronicles John's witnessing, he elevates and speaks of Jesus in high and respectful words. He agrees He is the better one with the ultimate power.

It's like reading a writeup online and liking it and commenting. Comments like "I'm blessed; indeed, this is teaching" etc will quickly draw men to wanting to read that same writeup. There will be curiosity to tap into what has blessed some people. However, that writeup might have been bypassed if it had not been liked or good witnessing made about it. Now that some people have witnessed of it, it seems to be more genuine, powerful and one that people can relate with or trust. They'll want to believe in the testimony of two or three. Is that not how you witness and make people join your network business and patronize you? Your intention was to speak about that system until some people believe in that risk.

Don't withhold your likes, good comments because they will all be witnessing and when it does, you will draw men to believe. Now, imagine if somebody gets blessed through your witnessing about a church, ministry, minister or sermon that you call powerful. Don't you think you'll have a reward for bringing a member either to the kingdom or to what God is doing. 

Through John's witnessing, all men believed. May you also be a witness of good things so that through you people might believe. The intention of witnessing is to the end that people might believe. So, be a witness of good things. 

PRAYER: Lord, teach me to be a witness of good things that through me all men might believe in Jesus Christ and what you're doing on earth.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

THE MAN THAT CAN SAY, "I WILL NOURISH YOU"

Genesis 50:21, KJV

"Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them."

You must know that there will be a time in everyone's life where he or she is fulfilling "when they were but a few men in number and while they move from one nation to another, He suffers no man to touch them [Psalm 105:12-14]. Such time is a period of smallness. It is very much associated with childishness and inability to even rebuke ills for oneself. It is a blessing finding God to persuade and rebuke men on one's behalf however at this time. At that time, a man or woman has not been made. He may not have what it takes to nourish another. It is still his period of gathering when he fights to amount. 

Joseph said to his brethren, "I will nourish you." That won't be the first time he'll be saying same. He had said it to his brothers when they first discovered him. When Joseph said he'll nourish them, he was speaking of nourishing over sixty people or let's say seventy in total [Gen.46:26-27]. Money or resources in some people's hands isn't for fashion parade. It is to fulfill obligation. 

Joseph said "I'll nourish you" as if the whole earth was in his hands. Indeed, he was speaking of things he was assured of. How many people can speak in like manner, looking at all their family members and then say "I will nourish you." The question is, "has he nourished himself first of all?" That statement can never spree out of the mouth of he that's still trying to have bread spared for himself. The fellow who was assuring others he'll feed them was not one relying on the generosity of another. The resources is in his own hands and as it seems, he doesn't even needs Pharaoh's permission before spending it on his family. 

I want you to know that one of the blessings any man can experience is to have other people's bread given to him to keep and release upon request to them. It's a privilege. If you see someone in a family that God raises very high above others with an economic gap they can't easily near, God has chosen that man as a custodian of the wealth of others. 

My prayer is just that God will take all head of families to the height where they can say to their extended family, "I will nourish you and nothing will happen!" Some that are trying to be responsible by taking on the responsibility of a nourisher for now over their own nuclear families let alone extended family have the testimony of it not flowing. The responsibility of the responsible is burdensome. If it were possible, you'll even have loved to escape it but how can you shut your bowels of compassion at your own. That's worst than denying the faith. For this reason, you keep trudging on. 

When Joseph said, "I will nourish you", he was adding responsibility upon responsibility. He already had the work of feeding his nuclear family to discharge but when he took it upon himself in those words to feed the family of his father, Jacob, he had written a letter to a high level kind of job. Yet, you knew it was not difficult for him because he rules Egypt at this time. Grain was under his command. He had enough to eat and give away. The Bible told us afore the famine that Joseph had gathered grain until it couldn't be numbered again. So, there's abundance that can incapacitate responsibility at hand.  There's a height or a place to get to where each you won't see it as responsibility feeding multitude. If you don't know, it was a nation Joseph fed throughout those years of famine. How I pray that you and I will be hastened by the anointing that doesn't repent today to get here. I told someone that even if the government of a country is irresponsible, if every one that God has paved way for can take care of his family needs, the poverty and problems in the country will reduce. Who are those their family are looking up onto here? If I be called with a holy call, may you by grace mixing with favour grow to become a tree that the birds of the air can make houses on. May God accommodate many people under your branches. May comfort arise for your people from you. May it be that you'll be sent ahead of them to put in place for them as to be nourished. 

You see, those of you who have gotten early education in your families or are the first to have a breakthrough that's economic, that's the kind of job God is calling you to do. Joseph also was sent ahead of his people. His journey was accelerated in making it because of some people that must be preserved. Joseph knew the calling that was on him. You must know yours. An economic deliverer is a great deliverer also. It is not only Satan that kills. Hunger, poverty kills. With these prevalent in anyone's life, they'll even be weak and lacking in morale to fight the devil. No man tackles what is secondary when primary haunts him.

To all men especially on whom the call of being a nourisher rests on primarily, by the anointing, I say God is obligated to you today. What is not enough shall be topped. The call to nourish your family, extended and all that will be brought across you shall be effortlessly done. You won't see it as responsibility sponsoring many people at the same time. It won't be from pain, struggle or friction that's murmuring and complaining. The wherewithal shall be given you in Jesus name.

PRAYER: Take me to a place where I can assume responsibility for multitude. Give me the wealth to preserve people.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

A TIME TO REMEMBER

Proverbs 12:1, KJV

“Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.”

O children of men, may you remember when you should remember. Some remembrance may not be able to turn anything by the time it dawns on man. So, I’m not praying for you that you will have late remembrance. Late remembrance always comes after a loss and with sighs and mouthfuls of regrets. I’m praying that you will remember now: when God wants you remember and not when your life will have been spent and almost used on what doesn’t count.

You see, when a man remembers when he should remember, his soul is saved and his life is saved. Those two things don’t happen to everybody. Imagine a 62 year old man that is just giving his life to Christ and a 7 year old boy doing the same. That old man has a saved soul but the larger percentage of his life has been wasted in so many crooked things outside the will of God. He has done assignments that God didn’t commission and author he should do in life. Meanwhile, the young boy has both a saved soul and a saved life. He has years in front of himself that God can teach him what to do with it and how to live within it. If he hearkens to the whole counsel of God, he can’t be trapped in the things that wastes one’s time and makes mockery of one’s years. He will live a pruned life as if he were born naturally to live that because the word of the Lord and God’s fear will naturally be his caution. He could find out what the will of God for him is on earth and use his saved soul, renewed mind and regenerated spirit to do it. The years he has left to plough the earth and discharge God’s will to the maximum of his strength is still long. 

Compare that with the old man who only has a saved soul without much left to do. As a matter of fact, at sixty two, one has started losing interest in so many things with a lot of depreciation having sets in. One is thinking of retiring from active service with attention on grandchildren or some petty matters. Why get born again around such time when you can start your morning at 6:00am, why do you want to start yours at 12:00pm of the same day? Why not choose a time that will give you a handful of period to do and do what you will have to do. Why start operation in deficit with an unnecessary sense of urgency to catch up with time? Life in Jesus truly imposes restrictions on whosoever accepts Him; meanwhile, this boundary is what enhances a life without confusion and crookedness. You can’t embrace those restrictions and be the kind that will die untimely. Why? Your restrictions will have curtailed misbehaviours that can open you to early death and lot more of packages with which the devil gifts those he finds outside God’s drawn line. 

More so, look at what the best of men have turned into. The fate of man seems not different from that of animals at the sight of this world pandemic. Is that not another cause to remember that God is worthy of your being contacted and seriously known at this time? Everything is ticking and racing towards eternity and a time that the silver cord of time will break giving way to everlasting to everlasting.  This is a time to remember. It is a privilege God is giving to you to repent and meet the sweet Saviour of your soul. He died to see you saved. He has waited long enough. Let today be the end of His waiting for you. A time like this may not freely come your way even if you seek it with tears and utmost desire next time especially if the curtain of time has been drawn. An opportunity at your front now without price is worthy and can save you from eternal agony in a place that inconvenience any who enters there.

PRAYER: The God of time and eternity: who planted eternity deep down in me that nothing else can satisfy but You, hint me of what time is it that I have entered into with a heeding of such time’s call. May I understand times walking circumspectly.
