IN ORDER TO HEAR SOLOMON - Witness Series 002

Read Matthew 13:44-46

Luke 11:31, KJV

"The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here".

When your heart is drawn after an anointing that a minister carries, there's nothing admirable and shocking you can't do to touch or establish contact with him. There's a mystery I have seen under the sun. It is that children of men do thirst after the anointing. Life in them thirsts after life of God. It has therefore become "like a hart pants after streams of water". It may be the truth, problem solving power or destiny portion that a minister carries that will draw men to him. By one, two or all of these, God can draw people to gather round an anointing. The reality of gathering is ancient and even predates Solomon. It was said of Jesus that unto Him the gathering of the people shall be [Gen.49:10]. Why will they gather? Due to the anointing. It is a sufficient reason to organize a program with the hope of seeing people come around. Even without organizing one, once you get anointed, you'll have followers and admirers. These are people that easily gather round any minister.

When we talk like this, don't think we're glorifying the minister who is an earthen vessel but in whom is the treasure. It is the anointing (Holy Ghost) upon a minister that draws people to Himself while using the minister. We however know that once a minister carries the Spirit and his operations are by Him, he also can't but be brought honour or recognition. However, all glory must be to the Lord. The Queen of Sheba isn't different from a thirsty heart as represented by many today. What she had heard of Solomon drew him. So, she came to see for herself whether they were so. When the anointing is in operation, many unbelievable are manifested that admirers and zealous hearts would be willing to spend time, energy, resources etc to come and verify. She had the reports of what God was doing through Solomon in her country but she didn't believe until she came. She later confessed half was not told her. The Sheba Queen was touched. She couldn't hold back again. To Jerusalem she must go and Jerusalem she went. Despite the distance, in order to hear the wisdom of Solomon, she still came. It doesn't matter to her whether she's from the South and the farthest of the farthest, listening to Solomon's wisdom and measuring him by same is what matters now. To see for herself, she'll do anything. When you have found hidden somewhere a treasure of great worth that can make you prosperous, I know you won't be too reluctant to sell your properties to acquire it. That's what she did here. She puts all other things behind her and strove for that only one in front. Your estimation for what you esteem is manifested in the sacrifices you can give to have same. To hear Solomon who the whole world was talking about, she came to Jerusalem not minding the distance. It's like visiting Africa from Fiji Island. It comes at a cost but to a yearning heart, such sacrifice is bearable. That's why Jesus was impressed as to have made an example of her to the unbelieving doubters round Him. "If she could do this despite the gulf that separated her from Solomon, what hinders you all from establishing one with me".

Today like never before, throngs of people are still establishing contact in faith. Let's talk less of those who are gathering online. Go watch the headquarters of religious institutions, camp grounds, prayer mountains e.t.c and you'll see that that ancient respect for gathering has not been eroded. Multitudes in our day won't mind taking transportation by road, rail, water or air to reach Jerusalem where a Solomon is established. All is to do what? To listen to his God given wisdom. You may wonder, why are these Christians troubling themselves to be gathering round a singular man like this? To them has it been given to understand this. He has become a carcass [Matthew 24:28]. That minister is the conduit of power in whom all abilities of God are passed and exercised to them. God is in heaven and we can each pray to receive from Him but He has also put calling on people which makes them stir others to great acts of faith to receive from God. If in order to receive by hearing, someone endured a great distance, what sacrifices are you giving to receive from God or through His anointed.

PRAYER: Let me hear the great news of God's act and faithfulness to the children of men which will set me on the journey of enquiry.

GIVE HEED PLEASE - Witness Series 001

Read Luke 11:14-31

Luke 11:31, KJV

"The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here".

May God give you eyes that see, ears that hear,  and a heart that knows. What a blessing you'll forever draw if you all these possess. Men and women are travelling. Travelling to do what? To establish contact, to establish their faith. Nowadays, if one can't be on-site for a meeting, one may join online and would still be a beneficiary of such that would be received at the physical place of meeting. Today, God wants you to give heed. Wherever God has put grace, anointing or any gift; by Himself, He'll begin to work on the hearts of people to draw it towards that anointing carried by that man or woman. In Jesus' days, though a great number of people were drawn to His immeasurable anointing yet His anointing was not totally accepted and believed in. From this passage, we see how doubters said He casted out demons by Beelzebub and how others requested for a sign before they'll seek to vindicate Him. This simply tells us that there's no anointing that won't have its admirers and its slanderers. Meanwhile, God wants you to be like the Sheba Queen who heard and was moved. Jesus in trying to show the failure of these doubters and faithless generation to them said, "the queen of the South came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, yet greater than Solomon is here but whom you're still doubting, rejecting and detesting. Judgement awaits you!"

The Queen of Sheba sacrificed a lot to reach Jerusalem to hear Solomon speak. She travelled from the far South. If the Bible calls a thing, "the ends of the earth", it means farthest of the farthest. Yet, she established contact though she spent months if not a year or more on her journey. "If someone who's not of that nation could give much to touch the anointed man of her day, what happens to you all that you couldn't immediately drop your doubt to give attention to me (Jesus) who's greater than Solomon even in his wisdom". Jesus was showing them their failure. Do you know there are people like these around us? You may even be one. They respect far away ministers of God as genuine and powerful but esteem less those God has clothed also with the Holy Ghost but who are cited near them. I have an example. Do you know there are Africans dwelling in Africa who find it difficult receiving a fellow Black minister as indeed a minister. They're rather peeping out to America and those in Europe. You'll see them boast of their fathers abroad. Those at home are zero even when God wants them see and be moved towards them. Jesus was with this people yet they had the problem of overfamiliarity with Him. Solomon was far away from the Sheba Queen and yet she established contact to see Him and tap into what she has heard of him. Those of you taking with levity a fellow by your side whom God could use for you but esteeming the other one far away as the only one that could minister to you may be getting it wrong. Even if your dad is anointed and you have no faith to receive, you may not still receive. 

God wants you to have eyes for the carcass wherever He places it. The aroma will go forth. It doesn't matter the proximity or the distance. Be moved when you see the anointed. Open up to them. All you'll ever become is being sensitive to God's move which can come through His anointed men. By their words, seasons are caused to change for you. By the Spirit upon, they can chance a door to open for you, pluck or plant for your sake. You in this generation (one reading this) must not fall victim of familiarity and receive a curse on yourself. Have eyes that see and with open heart receive those men that God's Spirit will witness to your spirit they're His.

PRAYER: Lord, give me new sight to see Yourself in men, especially anointed men as I enter 2022.

THINGS THAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU CRY TO THE LORD

Read Psalm 56

Psalms 56:9, KJV

"When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me."

It is because you have not cried. Don't argue with God or regard His servant a liar. I say once more, "the reason for your smallness and continuity in this negative cycle is because of one thing and that is 'your having not cried to God.' You have to scare your enemy. You have to roar and until then, they won't be terrified and destabilized. Until you show your determination for change by crying, don't expect a new beginning. You must know action births reaction. Today's word from God says, "when you cry unto God, then will your enemies turn back." It stands to reason if you don't cry to the Lord, your enemies will keep pursuing. They will keep harassing, seeking your downfall etc. However, if your enemies could be so relaxed as to make the mistake of giving you the opportunity to cry to God in prayer, I don't care how much they are, they'll all flee. If they're witches, they'll stop working on your cases. If they're spirits, they'll immediately cease. That's what you reap when you CRY unto the Lord. Even if your enemy is a president of a nation, he must turn back. He must turn back doesn't mean he'll die. It means he'll give up on you. Who are those that needs to give up on you? I say, "give up today!" God with you or God that is called into your matter or called to take over your matter is what the enemy detests and can't withstand. That's the key to winning. Don't fight in your strength or wisdom. Call unto God. His presence can't be refuted but yours can still be taken for granted and debated. 

Look, there's a change of season in the spirit. In this season, God is making your winning over your enemy (devil, your arch enemy and his cohorts) and any stubborn human being that has vowed to see to your end easier by leaning what you'll do to just one thing. Now, what's that thing? Just to cry unto Him. You must know where your deliverance will come from. It is by crying to God. It is from Him. When the Bible says when you cry to the Lord, your enemies shall turn back, the imagery being painted is that of two armies fighting in battle. When one is stronger for the other to handle, what happens to that weak one? It runs. It turns its back (change position from fighting its opponent face to face) to fleeing. There and then, they'll throw down their weapons of war, do away with encumbrances and flee as much as possible for escape. This is where as much as my legs could carry me is implemented. They won't even look back because the terror of you will be on them really well. The only thought in their mind would be safety - to the hills, to the caves, to the rocks, to the holes. Crying to God literally has to do with praying but it means fervent prayer. It is a hot boiling prayer. A prayer birthed from the revelation of, "you've done enough. I also want rest and want to be in full possession and control of what is mine." That's the kind that can turn anything. 

James 5:16-17, KJV

"...The EFFECTUAL FERVENT PRAYER of a righteous man AVAILETH MUCH.  5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he PRAYED EARNESTLY that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months."

Mind you, it is "when I CRY unto the Lord and not when I PRAY unto the Lord." "Crying" to the Lord is also praying to the Lord but crying to the Lord is much more with zeal, demand for change, focus, faith and a laying hold for a turn around. Here, you know why you're praying and that reason is propelling you to pray really hard. Here, they don't need to dictate prayer points to you before you bend the knee. Realization of the fact that your enemies must turn their back is enough. Your goal is to stop all the men or spirits at work in your life and put the stop sign to their faces. Road closed! Door slammed! Entry blocked. Symbolically and generally, "crying or praying" there means taking the needed action where it's needed. When you cry to the Lord, your enemy will turn their back and flee. When you study, you'll pass as well. When you apply labour and hard work, you'll come back with profit as well because in all labour, there's profit. Did you see how God has made simple how He'll make you victorious easy to do? Just do an act and reap the consequential outcome. It is those that cries that will turn their enemies away. Those that keep quiet can't have that result. That is why, you must pray differently this morning. Where, what or whom do you need to cry to God for? Raise prayers as inspired and triggered by this teaching and the Holy Spirit and see the result. I hear, "the result will be immediate." 

PRAYER: [Cry to the Lord in prayer that your enemy turns back].

THE BIRTH OF A HOLY THING - Spirit Turning Series 006

Luke 1:35, KJV

"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God".

What your calling will birth will be super ordinary. It was said of Mary's Child:Jesus, that He would be a holy thing. The aftermath of the Spirit's overshadowing is the extraordinary we saw Mary vomit. It was a thing but a holy thing. There are things but there are more distinct things. All of us testifies to the fact that Jesus isn't only holy but a blessed child. He was born perfect, blameless and sinless. For such befits the lamb that would be offered for the sins of this world [John 1:29].

Once you heed the call, the call will begin to use you to fulfill why you were called. In the fulfilling of why you were called, your manifestations will be such that will attract an adjective or a testimony of being different. I'll like you take a sample. Check through those you know who have heeded the call who don't have something of surprise to see in their ministries. Jesus commanded awe at birth as a manifestation from the obedience of Mary. It was to a great extent that as a baby, he drew wise men from the East. That's apart from the Holiness. Everything about Him was special at birth. You wouldn't call Him the 'common' child. He was holy from the womb and grew in same holiness till His offering. That is the extraordinary mark that shocks us all. 

People over time have seen what calls of people have produced. They've described it in so many words. Unbelievable, powerful, gigantic, awesome etc. They have chorused, "who did this? Also, they have answered, "Jesus!". There's no ordinary call. Every call is equipped to bring forth what will trouble human mind. Who knows whether your calling has "a holy, surprising, unbelievable thing to deliver?" From some callings, schools: even tertiary institutions that matches or surpasses that of the government came out. People wondered at how from the teachings of fishermen and men of little birth, some could now earn doctorate degree today. A holy thing! How come we have school of entrepreneurial studies and business from the Bible and the revelation given to those who heeded the call? No book has given solutions and answers to men than the Bible. From it, insightfully coaches of world leaders and nations have risen. A holy thing!

Submit to your call and see what thing would be  described to have come from your own call.

PRAYER: Mary bore a holy thing from her call. What a surprise! I believe for the birth of peculiars through my call.

HE HELPS OUR INADEQUACIES - Spirit Turning Series 005

Luke 1:34-35, KJV

"34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God".

What did Gabriel prophesy of Mary? "That she shalt conceive in her womb, and bring forth a son, whose name shalt be called JESUS. Same shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David"[Luke 1:31-32, KJV]. Mary then wondered how that would be possible since she knows no man. Her not knowing any man is her inadequacy since she couldn't get pregnant unless she knows a man. That's what she needs help over if she'll ever get pregnant and fulfill her call. However, this her inadequacy was eliminated. Gabriel offered a solution to her inadequacy by saying, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God". In other words, Gabriel was saying "I'm fully aware that you can't get pregnant on your own. For you as a lady to be pregnant, you need a man to have his way with you. However, I offer a solution which will settle the problem of "how will this be since I know not a man". At the overshadowing of Mary, what she was troubling herself over while asking how such great promise would come to pass was taken care of.

Once the Lord calls you to use you, you won't feel ready or feel whole but He'll make you ready and whole. You may give excuses or reasons why you believe the offer they say you'll carry out won't be possible. Moses said he was a stammerer. God offered to be with his mouth. When he refused, God went the extra mile to give him a spokesman [Exodus 4:10:17]. One time, Jeremiah refuted God and said he couldn't speak because he was a child. God then put His word in his mouth [Jer.1:4-10]. Did you see how God helped their infirmities or inadequacies and made them firm? Everything that disqualifies you which you know or don't know are what God will glory over to qualify you for His own use. In your calling, there's provision for you to do what you couldn't do naturally. It is always in every call. Mary said, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"

That "seeing I know not a man" is the problem, the challenge that must be taken care of and God did. I don't know what you've been showing to God as excuses or genuine reasons why you're not fit. Don't worry, those ones are taken care of. That's how Gabriel alleviated the doubt, reasoning, enquiry and fear of Mary. Gabriel assured her, "look, we have a remedy to your not having known any man. It is the Holy Spirit overshadowing you. That way, pregnancy will result". Did it happen? Yes, we bear witness. What looks impossible in our own sight that's creating fear, tension, doubt and suspicion isn't to God. Did you read that passage to see how Gabriel handled the matter without any iota of "how will that be possible" which Mary asked and was worrying over?

If God has come to you to use you, He'll equip you for the usage. It was part of the equipping of Mary as a virgin that the Spirit will overshadow her for conception. If God is saying He'll use you as a healer; He'll definitely release to you the healing anointing. So, name all your inadequacies, why you're not qualified to have pregnancy which is what heaven is looking for from all Marys and you'll see God giving you answers to them. That's the easiest to attend to in heaven even if it is challenging to you. Look, God still answers, "how will this be seeing I know not a man?".

PRAYER: Thank you Lord for assuring to help me do Your work. I receive your strength, grace, anointing and all other divine resources. I'm overshadowed and so I'm capable.

IF IT IS WITH GOD - Spirit Turning Series 004

Luke 1:36-37, KJV

"36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37 For with God nothing shall be impossible".

If it is with God, nothing shall be impossible. If it is with men, you know as I do that many things will be impossible. Do you know why? The frame of man is dust and the power he weaves is one only allowed him by God.  He is not the most supreme in the universe. He will forever be limited except an external power comes to be with him. The Bible however speaks of God as the Governor among all the nations [Psalms 22:28]. He created all and so has authority to deal with all His creatures in ways He desires. You're welcome to the reading of odd things again. For awhile, we've been studying about doing the impossible because of the power of the Highest which will overshadow and aid us. Gabriel while interacting with Mary also let a cat out of the bag. Should I say he gossiped to Mary about Elizabeth who was at that time really old but has become pregnant and was in her sixth month? While Gabriel was drawing his conclusion, he said, "for nothing is impossible with God". This was despite the fact that Elizabeth has been labelled barren and one whose matter has closed and can't bring forth again. Same is rather in her sixth month already. Imagine that! Did you see it's odd. It's like saying this is he they say can't leave the shore of his country but has travelled the whole world. We have heard of Benny Prasad who travelled the whole 195 nations of the world. God surpasses all. He surpasses doctor's report. If it is men that says "no way" somewhere and not God, you can still hope for a way. It even means there's a way since He who created them, you and all things haven't spoken. Anyone can say whatsoever, take any decision and print out any report but unless we have God's report, we actually don't know which to believe. God's report is, "did you see her who they said it is final for. Look at her who they said is old and barren. She's rather in her sixth month. Isn't that a miracle that reveals, "with God nothing shall be impossible".

How many of you believe "for with God, nothing shall be impossible?" Do you believe you can be used by God to preach, teach, heal, plant churches, release albums, establish institutions, change national and world politics, invent, fund projects and do all others? Smith Wigglesworth raised 21 dead. I'll raise over 121. With God, nothing shall be impossible. "Nothing" means all things shall be possible with God.  Name it. Is it a situation, event, dream, desire, goal or revelation? Is it a crooked situation like the one Solomon said can't be straightened back? [Eccl.1:15]. If God accompanies you, they will be possible. No impossibility with God. This might sound bogus but it's not. It is WITH GOD not WITH MAN. To us, the sense of unreliability of men may bring the dark feeling of seeing God as not been all capable also. However, believe that "with God NOTHING shall be impossible".

"With God" means if God is a participator with you. I have been writing the devotional for six years now. It's getting better, richer and more impacting. How could a man be doing this except God is with him? One devotional that I publish a day is what could be broken into two or three devotionals. I so much have much revelation by the Spirit to offer that I devised teaching in series on a singular line of thought. With God, nothing shall be impossible. The impossible is softened with God and suddenly you'll feel able and capable of achieving or doing the impossible. All of you who have received a glorious future but have been asking like Mary, "how will this thing be?" I'm hearing in my spirit an echo of "with God, all things are possible." If you want to fetch a water from a deep well, do you fetch with your hand? Will it reach? However, in your own wisdom, you'll send a fetcher. That container you send is with what you're accomplishing the task of fetching water. The task of doing anything - easy or more importantly difficult or thought to be difficult is by God or should be by God. Only then will you have the testimony of "so, it is possible and this simple!" That's when you can say difficult things are made easy. Some of you may not believe it is hard writing daily. Go and start and see if you won't finish after awhile. If that possibility exists, it means if you see any doing it, something is aiding them. An external power that was not previously with them or theirs is helping. In our case, it's the Holy Ghost from the Father. It has overshadowed us like it did Mary. It is with God that it is possible for any doing the impossible. If you see someone minister with healing and miracles, it is with God. Everything is with God and when it is with God, we reap the testimony of been able to bend a bow of bronze or accomplish difficult things. I heard, "with God nothing shall be impossible" no matter how impossible those things are or look. Nothing means anything you could think of. If you so believe, you'll have the mindset to act towards whatsoever God is offering you. If He tells you, you'll reach the whole earth in their languages, you won't doubt it even if you're not on the national stage now that you've hit seventy. Mary didn't know any man but with God she conceived. Tell someone, if it is with God, impossibility (no matter how numerous) becomes possible. 

PRAYER: Lord, may I first believe and then see that indeed WITH YOU, nothing (in any form they exist) is impossible.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

OPEN UP AND ACCEPT YOUR PROPHECY/CALL - Spirit's Turning Series 003

READ Luke 1:26-38

Luke 1:38, KJV

"And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her."

No matter how much you desire a baby, if you refuse to open up to a man or be assisted with his sperm, you will not have one. You'll only have one except the miracle of divine conception is wrath on you like we have here. Meanwhile, this is a reserved miracle except God comes to you and gives you a promise of it. God did it once and He has broken the mould by which He wrath it. He wrath it for His glory and the honour of the vessel that accepted that blemish-bringing call. 

Those that became mothers opened up to a man. They allowed him have his way with them so that the preemptive result could be birthed. In today's passage, after Mary had reasoned the possibility of the prophecy coming to pass by asking, "how will this thing be?" and had been told how possible it is since she'll be Holy Ghost assisted and divinely overshadowed by the power of the Most High, she then accepts the prophecy. She shows willingness and submission in being the one that will give birth to that holy thing. She said, "who am I except God's handmaiden? Be unto me according to your word (desire)". It means I am not for myself. I am for someone and whatsoever is His will for me can be done on me. I submit. I open up. Have your way Father. A tool I am: a vessel and I submit". These were things Mary said and at acceptance, conception took place promptly. 

The prophecy of divine conception was brought her ago but she was reasoning it and asking how. Since she has not accepted it by showing interest in carrying such call of reproach (becoming pregnant without knowing a man but through what society will contest), conception never happened. God seeks your consent before He'll use you too. He doesn't force Himself on people. If He calls you and you're yet to agree to what He said He'll use you for, the call may be suspended until you show interest and come into agreement one day or you may finally be substituted. Know that if God has given you a dream, vision or revelation and He calls you to come into ministry for instance to co-labour with Him to get a thing done, that call will be waiting until you say YES. Marrying a revealed person is also a call. Until Mary surrendered and said, "Your will, not mine", conception was rather withheld.

Today, God wants you to open up. A woman who needs a baby don't struggle with the husband if she wants to be pregnant. She rather accepts his proposal to come in. She gives him free hand to do with her as deemed fit and chosen by him. This permission will then lead to pregnancy. You may not know how glorious your future is until you accept and walk the road of the calling. Will you say to God today like Mary did over the matter the Spirit has been contesting with you that, "I am your handmaiden (a servant), do with me whatsoever you choose". If you'll see the aftermath, you must accept. Gabriel departed after the acceptance of Mary to carry that call and didn't have cause to come to persuade Mary over same again because she has agreed once and for all. Some of you are making God revisit you. God is merciful. Until you accept or finally become reprobate, He'll keep bringing that call to you. The sheet didn't leave finally until Peter had exhausted his chances [Acts 10]. It is yours to say, "okay" or "no" to. However, I counsel you, say, "yea". The call may be reproached today but silences mockers tomorrow.

PRAYER: Lord, the special call that will in turn be to my honour, which you offer me, may I see and embrace.

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Micah 1:1-4:13, Revelation 6:1-17, Psalm 134:1-3, Proverbs 30:1-4
