THE GATHERING THAT'S IN VAIN - Eternal Chase Series 002

READ Acts 23:11-24

Acts 23:12, KJV

"And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul".

The gathering of a billion plotters shouldn't scare you since there's assurance that their gathering won't lead to implementation.

If there's one apostle whose life was terribly contested for in the Bible, it is Paul. They sought him to eliminate many times. This is one of such times. Some forty men gathered together and took a resolute decision of killing Paul. They were so much purposeful that they bound themselves with a curse that they wouldn't eat or drink until they've killed him. Brethren, if you get where Satan and men begin to pursue you this way, just know you have become a serious threat that must sure be taken out. Why should some people be so much concerned as to destroy another man's life? Why should they all leave their daily businesses and ventures to pick up a new cause? These are men who have something doing but who had to let go in order to finish off a fellow. There's no extent Satan can't go to bring a threat down. He'll sacrifice anything as well. For some men to have sacrificed the pleasure of eating and drinking until the mission is accomplished shows how focus and intense the matter was. 

However, God who rules as the Governor amidst the nations won't allow. He has afore assured Paul of bearing witness for Him in Rome earlier. So, his life is anchored on continuity. To fulfill this, Paul's sister's son reported to Paul and the chief captain what the masses were cooking. This is how a transfer of Paul to Felix became inevitable. God is faithful. He'll always allow a loop hole or leak in what the enemy calls plan. That's what would become your own advantage. Paul's sister's son heard their plans which he reported. Nobody knew him to be in relation with Paul but that's how God exposes the devices of the crafty so that their hands can't achieve their craftiness. On this note, Paul's end was postponed. He escapes death once more. You'll always escape the hardest of plots too. Let it be stringently woven and crafted together, you'll survive assassins and assassination. A wisdom would put you ahead that they won't see coming. They'll seek you and not find you available for death to be killed. Escape is yours and salvation from Jehovah. 

PRAYER: Thank You for your daily salvation to me. Give me salvation from my strongest enemy.

THOSE WHO WILL WAIT FOREVER - Eternal Chase Series 001

READ Acts 9:19-26

Acts 9:24-25, KJV

"24 But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket."

Take some time to laugh brethren. Ensure you really laugh loudly because what you're laughing at is the folly of some men. Why should you laugh? There are those who will wait for eternity. They'll wait, wait and wait to discover their reason for waiting is at all not materializing but has escaped them. So, their waiting would then be termed, "vain waiting."

Paul in zeal and ignorance of what he thought was right persecuted those of the Way. It was to such wild city arrest he was going  when Jesus handcuffed him one day. Having surrendered to Jesus' lordship, he began the preaching of this same Jesus immediately and argued with all intensity that He is indeed the Christ. To this end, all that sees him enquires if he was not the same notorious Saul dragging those of the Way to jail. They even wondered why he has suddenly stray from the purpose for which he had came to Damascus. They kept asking questions after questions. Having witnessed the testimony of Paul and foreseeing the havoc he might cause if he continues to preach of the Way he had once buffeted, they planned taking him out. I'll say that was a smart move by them. Do you know why? Testimony of a person like Paul would easily be believed by any outside the Way if they hear he once persecuted what he now stands for. They'll reason that he must have found out the genuine as to what cause to follow since he had previously tasted of the other faction also. To this end, Paul must be silenced before he spreads his belief of Jesus Christ and the Way to a larger extent - therefore popularizing those he was once all out to shut up. 

However, the plan to kill Paul was known to him. He just discovered it some way not specified. While those ones were watching the gates day and night (since that's the only and proper entrance to the city) to kill him; Paul beats all these plotters when he was let down in a basket by the city wall. Don't say there's no way. Once you get to a cross road, improvisation would stir itself in your belly. 

While those ones still had scouts whistling, sending signals, receiving calls on whether Paul has been perceived or not, Paul had left. He had left the vicinity. He was just far gone while they were still keeping vigil, giving all attention and denying themselves pleasure. All was in vain since the reality of Paul's presence in the city became illusion the moment he left. Brethren, this is how you'll always be ahead of what should take you out. Whenever they think they're in control, they'll suddenly discover you own the control. Plots will be futile over you. They may be made but they won't be executed because you'll be nowhere to be found for such to be experimented over you. In what way has your profession been endangering you? Are you a missionary, journalist or reporter, politician, writer, musician e.t.c. who's to be assassinated for having become a threat? Look, there booby plan shall be revealed and you shall outsmart them. Those waiting to bring you down shall therefore wait for ever until they tag you, "impossible, invincible, immortal" in Jesus name. 

PRAYER: Put me steps ahead of my enemies. I have insights into what is a plot. I outsmart bands, troops and companies.

A MAN OF LIKE PASSION

James 5:17,KJV

"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."

Passion is what equalizes all of us. Elijah, the great man of God was just like any one of us. He has feelings, affection and a constitution like ours. Meanwhile, he was also able to live beyond being human because he was able to exercise the supernatural side. That was the part that makes him not look like men of like passion with the constitution of ours. Because of being a man of like passion, that could have restricted and hindered him from living the God-life. This part which is divine however that anointed men of God constantly exhibits is what has deceived many into sinning. They'll think "I'm not prone to falling again." Raising the dead is not a guarantee that you can't backslide. Aren't you still having human affections?

On another note, that Elijah wrought the supernatural is an assurance that while we're humans in this flesh and while we still exhibit our human nature yet we can live under the divine constitution. That Elijah was a man of like passion means he was consequently opened to all the challenges you're facing and complaining about now in the flesh. There were moments his own body moved too. He only had to subdue it. He felt hungry e.t.c also.

Even our men of God today and those we call daddy or mummy have parts of the opposite sex they like and are falling for. That makes them truly a man of like passion that is vulnerable to temptation, seduction and even backsliding just like anyone. Our frame is dust: still flesh and blood though we may be anointed or fire brand. So, beware and take caution around the opposite sex.

The disciples were men of like passion also. That's why they experienced weakness to pray somewhere.

Matthew 26:40, KJV

"And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto peter, what, could ye not watch with me one hour?  26:41 watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

If you're too tired to pray (which is not an excuse for that exercise), it's because you're a man of like passion. Angels don't get tired. It is in the nature of man to be tired. Even Paul was a man of like passion. That's why Paul said " I put my body under." He knows being unguarded for a minute could wreck down all his years' labour in Christ. That's an exercise that everyman of like passion must do daily or else, you may not know when you'll stray in thoughts and begin to sleep with someone in your heart. Consequently, you can do it live. You'll feel sexually aroused as a correct man of like passion but you must keep your body under until you're married or until you have your partner ready (if married) to communicate ministration to you (I Corinthians 9:27).

Why did Paul keep his body under? He was a man of like passion with blood, cold blood running through his veins. Please, don't do counselling behind close doors or start prayer with the opposite sex and hold hands. Doing so is wanting to reap consequences. Can a man carry fire in his bosom and not be burnt. Let's ask "why did Paul counsel that every man should have his own spouse?" It is because he knows we're men of like passion. That's why he said "in order to avoid fornication." He knows only humans can commit fornication and not angels. Our own make up makes us men of like passion. Knowing that is the key for building defences (I Corinthians 7:2-3, KJV). These are just a run through of the fact that we are men of like passion who is susceptible to weakness, failure, fear, temptation, hunger, thirst, pressure e.t.c that a human being like us will be opened to.  In the light of this, we will know how to behave and take preventive measures which will keep our body under subduing. As bitter as it is, no man could kill being a man of like passion because that's why he still feels hungry, thirsty or sleepy. We can only control and subdue the exhibition of the nature in man that can bring him into sin. 

PRAYER: Help me overcome my passions and human weaknesses.

MY PERSONAL TESTIMONY OF REMEMBRANCE IN PRAYER

 REMEMBRANCE IN PRAYER 

One of the things I enjoy whenever I pray is remembrance. Apart from direction, I enjoy remembrance. This remembrance often times then do lead to direction to take afterwards.

Whenever I pray, things I had said I'll do, I should do or desire to do (but which I've not started doing but which I should do) would come to mind. They'll not only come to mind but come very persuasively. It will rise as a voice. A voice so speaking that you'll know a rising is happening inside you. A voice so serious like the voice of Abel calling from the ground. Therein, I know it's a person (the Holy Spirit) speaking inside me to me.

God in times past has sensitized me to great opportunities by telling me to check on the expert who has a say on it. That's even when I don't know announcement has been made concerning the availability of such opportunity. I have been reminded to call people in prayer many times. At times as I pray, solutions come freshly to a thing I've been contemplating on yet without necessarily seeking or praying for solution at that time. Suddenly, there just appears a path.

If you'll check, you'll also bear witness that when you pray, remembrance do come to you though you might have been neglecting yours. I believe that's the Holy Spirit at work who doesn't want us leave a stone unturned in our lives. He doesn't want any issue get swept under the carpet. The more you therefore relate with God, the more He'll be willing to tell you things to actively give attention to. He doesn't do it only at the times of prayer when our heart is only set on Him but even while we're busy with life. Doing it only at prayer time may be doom to us. Sensitization should be received everywhere and every time especially when God sees an emergency He wants you pay attention to. So, God makes remembrance occur and reoccur.

Don't forget, not that God has not been speaking and speaking repeatedly all this while. Even as we go about our daily businesses, He speaks but man is just too busy to give attention. Some haven't cultivated sensitivity enough to discern Him even in the midst of daily relations.

Job 33:14, KJV

"For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not".

What could be the cause of not perceiving despite repeated speech? Ask yourself. However, at the time separated for prayer, whenever we come to Him with a single heart, it gives the Holy Spirit ample opportunity to flood our heart with things we should take steps on which He has been bringing but hindered due to busyness with daily affairs which distracts us from such hearing.

Is there any there whose perception is dull? At the scent of water, it shall bud up again. The Lord would speak once but you'll perceive twice. 

Olusola ADEJUMO,

M'Wings.

NOT EASILY BROKEN

READ Ecclesiastes 4:8-12

Ecclesiastes 4:12, AMP

"12 And though a man might prevail against him who is alone, two will withstand him. A threefold cord is not quickly broken".

A thing that's quickly broken is a thing easily conquered. The right substituting word for "quickly" in that usage would therefore be "easily" for it means "very soon". If a thing proves difficult, it can't easily succumb to your devices of mastering it. So, such (even if it would be defeated) can prolong the time of its defeat or accessibility. A singular chord folded into three layers obviously becomes stronger compared to leaving it as a layer. Isn't that the reason why a secured building has many layers of doors. It is to make penetration difficult while delaying intruders' accessibility. Buildings housing treasures in ancient or even our times are of more than threefold layers. No strong room is of a layer or fold. The more the doors, the secured it is. The intention is to barricade immediate entrance even if there would be any at all.

A strand of broom has been broken many times by you. You did that effortlessly. What you haven't tried breaking is a bunch of broom itself. Even if you've tried breaking it, the witness you'll give is "it is not easily broken" and indeed, it won't break. It won't just yield. You may try but you'll come to the realization that there's a great insulation against that bunch of broom being broken. Force has been pulled together against you. Though effort is being applied and increased but it seems the resiliency of the broom proves you inaccessible. A strand is a weakling. A bunch is strength.

When you're alone without a second, there's a level of resiliency you can weave. You can prove stubborn just for awhile, refusing to be conquered. However, your resiliency and refusal is just at a level that we can't call trustworthy. We can ascertain or predict when you'll break. It can't be very lengthy. It is one that could easily cave in. Meanwhile, there is the effort of a second in any man's life. When a second man's effort is added to what you're doing, you're not easily broken. What could have easily defeated your partner or you finds it difficult overcoming two of you who are now a force. The thing will assault you but the ability to withstand, resist and persist will be doubled and much more persisting. You can become a troop against anything in life. We all know that a troop is not easily defeated. When you're more than one, you double not only energy but outcomes. Two always have a better reward. The Bible didn't say two can't still be defeated but it is not easily defeated unlike one that caves in very soon. That tells you, you will need to elongate yourself in battle and daily life affairs by the number of two. You simply need to buy time. Where a person is quickly beaten by his opponent because he is one within five minutes; if they become two against same opponent, even if he'll beat them, they can prolong and draw the battle for minutes more than five. This is the secret of lasting longer and staying there continually. Do you know how many people that would have been quenched if not for the contribution of the second. They would have been broken down long time ago except for a timely intervention of another that eradicates their being put to shame, entering into debt or even dying etc until a later time that even didn't come. When these acts of giving in is therefore postponed, they become strong and ready for new fights in the process of time. You must know that the devil, your major opponent capitalizes on situation and seasons of life to securing winnings against you. If at a dry season, you're easily defeated but for a timely intervention of a second, the chances of your being defeated then is postponed. If it is thus postponed, it means it may not even happen again. How did I know?

Revelation 12:15-16, KJV

"15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth".

The earth came to the help of this woman. When that happens, there is a deferment of what should have happened to her there and then into the future. Consequently, it becomes "it may still happen or may not happen again". You just need help to get out of the danger zone. Once you do, you may actually survive it forever. One is easily broken but not two. Engage the power of two and show to Satan, life and any hard task that though humans are conquerable yet two can elongate their defeat into evasion. So, persist and insist in the power of two.

PRAYER: Lord, if my fall is scheduled for today, may it be deferred by the help you'll bring into my life. Let it always be postponed until the fall is no longer sure. I enter into strategic partnering.

WHEN THE VEIL IS DONE AWAY WITH

II Kings 7:3,KJV

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

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

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

2 Kings 7:4,KJV

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

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

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

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

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

WHAT THE LORD DOES FOR A MAN WITH THE CALLING AND ONE HE IS PLEASED WITH

Isaiah 53:12,KJV

"Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

There is a thing that God does for a man with the calling. Any man that carries the calling should be encouraged by this promise even if he has not gotten to a place where indeed what was said about him would take place. Because Jesus fulfilled His assignment, He was rewarded. The reward was that He was given space amidst the mighty. At least, we know that a name that's greater than any other name was given to Him. He was assembled and numbered amidst those that could be called influential. Name is a very important thing. The name you carry or the name of whom you bear to do your operations determines the doors that will open to you (Philippians 2:9-11).

Jesus' name is very powerful because He was numbered amidst those whose names should be respected after passing through the sacrificial process of saving and redeeming man. He was not only numbered amidst them, His name carries the most precious value.

As a minister persists in ministry and refuses to relent, God will make it possible for such upcoming aspiring minister to begin to cause waves. First of all, he must have earned the approval of God secretly. Then, God will begin to create an awareness of him and His works in his hands until he is accepted by the body of Christ. Once this is done, this man that was an unrecognized minister sometimes ago will be seen sitting amidst fathers and elderly ministers. 

There is an inheritance in God's house that I believe can go round. It is go-round the table blessing. It is God that allocates and administers portions to us in the kingdom. No man can receive anything except it's sovereignly given to him from above. That scripture above said " I will divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoil with the strong."

It is God that can reserve a seat for a man that's nobody today amidst the some bodies of today. There are already great people in your venture or profession but God is saying "you will be given a part of yours that makes those people great." That is, until you're given that portion, you can't be called great. 

I believe a chair has been reserved for me in the tall places of this earth amidst envoys. I believe God's intention is to path way for me to sit where those who we respect and admire to listen to are. My space is where they are. God is watching over my seat amidst them to ensure that no one else sits or takes it. When a man begins to divide the  spoil with the strong, he is no longer an ordinary man. The strong are warriors that have gone to the battle and have brought a lot of captives and booties of war. Now, because this mean man (previously) has now being numbered with the strong (promoted to stay and operate in the midst of the strong), he'll begin to enjoy the affluence, respect and admiration given the strong. Why? Because he also is now a strong man. There is nothing like it can't go round. By the time you get where you should get, those that have been there before you will divide the goodies they've been enjoying and sharing amidst themselves with you. They'll remember the number has increased. They'll have to recognize that a new member has been added to their big table by God. They'll have to share what they've been managing with you too. None would say "no!" May you fulfill divine mandates that creates space for a man amidst the strong. May you get to a place where you will take your place with the great. Don't think there are no more seats up there. For those that God has intention for, there is a big written order that says RESERVED on their seats. I pray, your seat is yours.

PRAYER: Lord, ascend and bear me to mount to take my seat amidst those that can't be pushed aside.
