THOSE ASKING HOW THIS THING SHALL BE

READ Luke 1:26-35

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".

This is what Gabriel, God's messenger angel told Mary, the virgin. Why Mary wouldn't believe in her giving birth to a child was because she hasn't known any man. We should all question the possibility of becoming pregnant and giving birth if one doesn't have intercourse. How will that be? It is this realistic question she asked Gabriel that made Gabriel respond with the response we have as our quotation. We all know with man, it is impossible but with God or by the Spirit's aid, all things are possible. How? The power of the Most High will overshadow Mary and that will result in her being able to conceive supernaturally and do that which she couldn't have done except she has intercourse with a man. 

There be those asking how these things shall come to pass for them as well. Before Mary asked how this thing would be, she was told what would be. Have you been told what would be? What will come to pass shortly through you but which you wonder in great curiosity how they'll be. This message is for you. How all the 'impossibilities' communicated to you will be is by the Holy Spirit overshadowing you. You just need the Spirit's touch and aid to do the unnatural and you'll begin to see the manifestations of what you wonder how they'll be. Mary didn't get pregnant by the will of man. That holy thing was conceived supernaturally. All the prophecies you have received concerning being the head of nations will not come to pass by your desire or hard work superiorly but by God's Spirit aiding you. Only the Spirit makes difficult things easy. How do the sick, the deaf, the blind, the halt, the lunatic etc get healed? It is by God's Spirit overshadowing a minister and using him to touch them. Healing doesn't happen by the minister remaining man but rather being altered as a man through whom the oil could flow. It's that oil otherwise known as the anointing or Holy Spirit that now heals. How could a man in his lifetime take the gospel to the ends of the earth and plant churches at every five minutes trek of every place? How easy is it turning a jungle into a city where the headquarters would be settled to draw all races to itself if not through the handle of the calling leveraged on by the Holy Spirit overshadowing one? How could a nonentity and the despised build orphanages, schools, health institutions e.t.c from his calling if not for the Holy Spirit that has overshadowed him and now makes him able to get this done? Do you think it's easy opening branches? In the secular, people have retail outlets. Ask them how difficult it is for them opening another one let alone going from nations to nations and having branches where they don't know people from Adams. That is why Gabriel said to Mary, "Don't worry. I know it is a difficult, hard and impossible task. Meanwhile, with and by the Spirit, it is accomplishable. What will happen won't be by or through any man but by the Holy Spirit's overshadowing (aiding) you.

Look, there's nothing that can't be cracked by the Holy Ghost. He masters all impossibilities and makes them answers. If you have received a promise, prophecy or a revelation of what to become but same seems too gigantic in your sight, don't fight it but surrender to it in order to be the vessel on which they'll be done. Just believe by the Spirit's aiding or swallowing you up that nothing shall be impossible. Today, the testimony that they'll begin to give concerning you and I is "by the Spirit", even if the thing to do is harder than a stone.

PRAYER: Lord, anoint me afresh for my assignments - to fulfill calling (destiny). Anoint me specifically for  (mention them).

BOW ABIDING IN STRENGTH

Read Daniel 3:23-27

Genesis 49:23-24, KJV

"23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: 24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:"

May your bow abide in strength despite all. Only few do have the experience of this blessing in their lives. After being fought, grieved and assaulted, people do become reactors of those actions. Whenever they become reactors to such, it means they've finally being gotten. The impact of the launcher upon them has finally come to pass. Indeed, the enemy is progressing over them. 

Jacob said of Joseph as he that the archers have worried. The archers are his brothers. They sorely maltreated him. At their selling him off, he faced hell in slavery through their that singular action. However, he abode in strength. How do we ascertain that Joseph's bow abode in strength? There's no trace of their act on him. They intended it for evil but God meant it for good. If you read about the Hebrew men that were thrown into the furnace, we were told that the fire had no impact on them. The place of the action of people against you not having its intended purpose though they have directly face you to wreck you down is the place where your bow abide in strength. We were told that the fire never had any impact on them. It was not even felt they were once thrown into the fire after being called forth. No smell of it let alone their being singed. They rather remained as they were before they were thrown into the furnace. These are golden boys who refused to melt by divine aid at the sight of what should subdue and end their lives. In this wise, we'll say they endured, abode in strength and remained constant or valiant in battle. They mock the enemy's devices at them!

You must know that the nature man carries is not "built to last". He's mortal. We learnt he's dust and so he is susceptible to weariness but whenever immortality steps in like it did for these Hebrew boys, the fight is prolonged, the desire of the enemy becomes an irony and evil is turned to good and then you could go on fighting without wearing down though all siege is against you. If not for the Almighty encouraging Joseph through the relieves He constantly gave him in form of his being the head after all, he would have crumbled. His salvation whenever he enters into trouble until he was perfected is an encouragement that emboldens him to trust He who helped him over the paws of the lion and the bear Who's more able to help him over the Goliath of things still in front. 

Joseph was fought. He was seriously grieved. Being grieved means being frustrated but the testimony was that he didn't become bitter let alone become the outcome of his being seriously and bitterly worried. I pray for you that you won't manifest the intention of ancestral spirit and those who intend your wreckage. At the end of the day, he still told his brother that they meant it for evil but God meant it for good [Gen.50:20]. Now, this testimony is an unusual one. It reveals he who passes through the water who didn't get touched by it. That was the testimony of any not affected or made bitter by whatsoever evil done at him. Those who naturally give such witness are those nothing is unleased at and has never experienced a thing that'll trigger bitterness. However, for men who have been sorely grieved by their bosses, step father/mother, siblings, parents, friends e.t.c to speak in that manner, that is rare and ain't normal. What they should speak and seek is revenge but count a Joseph out. His bow abide in strength and so he could confess and act as one. Look, today, because you're waiting on the Lord, you'll renew your strength. You won't get to a breaking point intended for you. Divine intervention and resources would aid you and you shall know the life that endures though the target of hell and men from all sides is to wreck you down. I pronounce on you endurance in battle and then victory at last. You will wear out all enemies wearing at your shield. Your testimony would be that of a fighter who refuses to burn out despite the attack's concentration. Your testimony is that of a candle who refuses to burn down despite being used! That's mysterious. Tell me how possible except by the Lord who could make the arms of your hands strong and not for once go down. 

PRAYER: Lord, make my mountain strong. Let my bow abide in strength. Irrespective of the evil or difficulties life will throw at me, may I not wane in strength. I won't be bitter let alone repay evil with evil. He who comes from above is above all.

THE BEGINNING OF MY STRENGTH

Genesis 49:3, KJV

"Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power".

I have heard people speak of the very first thing they possess in this life. They've spoken of the first car they used, first house they lived in, first job they got and the first naming ceremony they did. What is first in our lives is unusual and even if the celebration of its appearance is lowly, after we might have grown into the future of our years, we still recall them as the peculiar unto which others that follow can't aspire to. While it is the predecessor of modern day events or happenings of same nature in our lives, yet we accord it the place of being the foundation on which others were casted. To you parents, try remembering how the birth of your first born went. What joy filled your heart; how you felt with your first pregnancy e.t.c.

Jacob said of Reuben as his first born and might. He can't speak of Joseph or Benjamin that way because they were children of his old age. Meanwhile, it was Reuben that changed his status and for the very first time, same made people to turn to him and address him as a "father". The first time they were knowing the joy of parents, Reuben brought them into it. It is like the very first time you'll have the taste of sexual ecstasy, somebody will bring you into it. That first experience of what happened and how you were brought into it can't just be forgotten. That's why God calls sex sacred and restrict it to marriage because of the memory of it that if you cleanse can't go. Till Reuben's birth, Jacob was only a husband but when Reuben was born, a testimony went forth about him as a man of no more mean status.

He said, "Thou art my first born, my might and the beginning of my strength..." What a thing! I have looked at albums and I have found the pictures of my parents with my sister and I. I saw that indeed, they were in the days of their strength compared to when children of later days came into their lives. At that time also, they didn't have many things they later possessed but they would always be forever grateful for that beginning that sets them in motion. If Jacob said Reuben was the child of his strength, it means the child of his youth. There's a time a young man is new, strong and full of vigour. There's a time he's just starting out on the road of who he'll finally become and be known for - you call that the beginning of his strength. The beginning of the manifestation of the greatness and successes that he'll later accrue and be altogether celebrated for. For instance, Jacob had thirteen children but it was one, this particular Reuben that sets him on the motion and journey of being a father. Before being a father to the other twelve, he was first to one. Before your earning in millions today, you probably earned in thousands which whenever you remember, you'll laugh and say, "those good old days" though those good old days is smaller in manifestation to what/who you have become now. I pray for you that your number one will delight you. Number one is always incomparable to any other thing. My undergraduate days aren't to be compared with any other days of education. Those days were the beginning of my academic journey. A time that if you had looked at my face or see it in the picture, you won't even agree that Bro Sola is the one in the picture. I was just a young chap with a face that's likely to be despised. I knew nothing much about life. I was just stepping out but I have found grace to go ahead. 

Everything that a man would become someday and somewhere would begin with the manifestation of a drop that would finally make an ocean there. That's why the plan of every parent for their first born is always but special. If Reuben was the beginning of his father's strength, his might; don't you think he looked forward to seeing him do well. Imagine you seeing your face on someone else for the first time with a knowing that this is mine. Reuben was the product of Jacob's very first achievement and then at the very beginning of his life. He would still give birth to other children but this child, this Datsun or Benz he first used sets in motion a line for others to come. You could see him posing beside it then with blessings of the elders and pastors. I pray that when you look back to behold the beginning of your days, the beginning of your manifestation somewhere and the exhibition of your strength and might somewhere, it would be for joy because that's what it should be. A first born is who the Papa wants to easily make a friend, confide in, groom up to take over and to cater for the rest. May what confers on us our first happiness not be a curse. It will just be intolerable.

FOR HOW LONG...?

Read I Kings 18:1-22

I Kings 18:21, KJV

"And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word".

God wants me ask you this same question also. "How long shall you limp between two options?" The nation Israel has slide into idolatry. Baalim has supplanted the worship of Yahweh. Persecution had risen against the prophets of the Lord. Many have been killed and only a remnant remained. Elijah who had been on a type of exile after the shutting of heaven by his words has now returned home at the instruction of the Lord. These words of Elijah had afore led to no small famine in the land. 

At his appearance, Elijah hearkened to do as the Lord had said - to show himself to Ahab, so that God might send rain. On such occasion, after the gathering of the people, the prophets of Baal and of the groves who ate at Jezebel's table to Mount Carmel, Elijah asked the people, "How long will ye limp between two options? If the Lord is God or Baal, follow either".

Just like God put it in Elijah's mouth to ask Israel of harlotry, God is putting it in my mouth to ask any Christian reading this and all in the body of Christ worldwide. He's saying, your days of sitting on the fence is over. You either give your loyalty to God or you properly and securely hold unto the world and its system. No one can serve two masters we have read many times. Yet, many Christians have not consciously made a choice of which to serve and follow. No wonder, the confusion and so many contradictions in the body of Christ. This issue of not knowing where people really belong is causing so much trouble of identity. It has bred men who lack the fruits or life but who are full of confession to be Christ's. 

I perceive that time for such double life and game is over as God is tired Himself and He's asking conclusively where you belong. God is being straightforward with you. He's saying, "Enough is enough. If Baal be God, follow him and if I be, follow Me". 

When God put this question in my mouth, God told me to ask same of a lady colleague I had been preaching Christ to for over two months but who has neither received Christ nor find her foot in faith. She has been hoping between two belief systems: Christianity and Islam. She's a Northerner and one from a Christian/Muslim background. That evening, I sense God moving me desperately to ask her this question. I asked her and narrated this story to her in order to reveal God's mind to her. She responded to me better than she has ever done before and I was shocked. 

Are you a Christian who's neither cold or hot or an outright sinner or unbeliever who's yet to make Jesus Christ his personal Lord and Saviour. Here comes your opportunity to make a choice today. Life and death are before you and like God almighty counselled Israel, I'll say, choose life. He who chooses life chooses Jesus. 

PRAYER: I receive Jesus into my life. I rededicate my life to Him. Wherever I'm hoping between two opinions, I receive clarity on the best choice. We pray for the salvation of all in the region of darkness.

SICKNESS IS A ROBBER!

 SICKNESS IS A ROBBER!

You see, "sicknesses don't allow people have their lives". That's what the Spirit whispered to me in meditation that led to this teaching. When you are sick, you are brought under subduing to obey a particular rule. Such is taken captive to bear burden under such yoke. 

Peter's mother in-law came to my mind. Some would term her sickness, "the little type". Yet, that little type collected the life of service and usefulness from her. Fever has killed many!

Matthew 8:14-15, KJV

"14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.  15  And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.

No one is sick that does what he feels like doing or should be doing. What they have potency, obsession, skill or flair for becomes hidden as if it doesn't exist at the face of being sick. Do you see sickness is a cheat and robber? If it is football, sewing, cooking, praying, writing, speaking he could do, all become second thought in sickness. Immediately, a restriction is placed on such, no matter how strong he is to begin to feel a contrary law: of death, corruption and weariness working in him.

I recently called a colleague friend. From the tone of her voice, I knew she was lying down and totally down. She was even trying to get a rest that has not been forthcoming. Her heart is diseased and she easily gets tired. I've forgotten what the doctor called that heart condition. Whenever the thing comes like this, other things must be packed aside no matter how obligated she may be to them to obey the pull and demands of those heart issues. This evening, I felt for her like never before. I even felt like having the transfer of her sickness to me in order to relieve her. I have felt this way for people when I see them in pain or groaning too deep to utter that shows they're just trying to survive. Have you seen people rolling all around before? They're on a soft, well padded bed but they still lack comfort. That shows, peace is first of all an internal issue and not otherwise. 

Sickness is a thief. It comes to steal, kill and destroy. It models Satan in acts. I pray for her, you or anyone that God will step in with His touch and have you healed so that you'll be qualified for service: usefulness to God and mankind. Peter's mother in-law rose up for service but that was not until her healing. May God heal you especially if your case is the type where you've been known to suffer assault for years or time being from just a repeated sickness or issue. You're healed! That prophet took salt and went to the spring issuing bitterness [II Kings 2:21-22]. Today, by the anointing I carry, this matter won't be treated twice or at its shoot level but once and at its root. May God go deep down, straightforward and far away into the foundations of this your health challenge. What is hidden that medical science or research couldn't figure out, may the anointing comprehend them. Light shines in darkness and it has not been reputed for once that darkness over-shone it. I say, receive a solution. Receive firmness and recovery.

Listen, your sickness can't be taken by me though I might have bowels of compassion towards your being healed just like I have for that lady. However, it is written that Jesus bore our grief - somebody already took it all. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him.

Isaiah 53:4, KJV

"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted".

If that be, you were healed and may this be a revealing testimony now. All internal and external organs related issues are settled. May you be loosed and let go. May the demon governing that sickness or disease be bound while you enjoy your freedom.

M'Wings.

WHEN THE LORD HAS NEED OF YOU

READ Mark 11:1-10

Mark 11:3,KJV 

"And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither."

I want you to see that you'll be doing yourself a great favour if the Lord beckons on you and you hear. Men can call you but with a big no at hand for them. If the Lord does, I'll say, drop that which you have in your hands and follow. 

Jesus sent the disciples to go to a place and bring a colt tied on which no man has ever ridden. What a virgin it was! He, knowing they might be questioned gave them words to say. It wasn't that Jesus had afore preplanned with the colt's owner. The beat which He believes would communicate to such, "the Lord has need of it" was therefore given to the disciples. That's the currency with which they went on that journey. 

The Lord has need of it? Yes. That's His demand. If it is, let's give Him. You should be humble to learn from today's teaching. Those they met didn't delay them after they said the Lord has need of it. They immediately let them go with it.

May you for another or any with something for you let go at hearing God's voice. May God persuade them. What the Lord has need of is what He can't but get. That's how it should be though we have known some for their obstinacy and disagreement even in the face of the Lord has need of it. These are of the set that won't let go. These are of the set that their possessions are too heavy for them to part with. These are those who disdain God and do not esteem Him in act but can confess Him as Lord till tomorrow. For no one esteems God really that doesn't do so when sacrificial demands are made on him. Pharaoh won't let Israel go but Israel had to still go. God will do it.

The Lord has need of it! In the Yoruba culture of the Nigerian people, their ancient monarchs are known for exercising absolute authority. This authority was so far reaching that the king could see a young virgin and say, "she pleases me well. I'll have her for wife." All can't but agree even if they're not well pleased. It is the king. It is royalty that has made demand on them. It is not a man of mere presence. They'll even be honoured becoming in-law to the king though he's one with many wives already. Yet, there's honour, wealth and delight there. How much more you as a child of God? There should be nothing in God's will you stretch at without obtaining. It is the Lord that has need of it. It doesn't matter how costly it is, it's obtainable. If men would by cringing or feigning heed these kings, how much more the Royalty that gives royalty to royalty? We should see and fear. Jordan saw and fled. You must be touched also. The Lord has come. If He tells you I need you for this or that purpose, let go. Don't struggle with God. He only wants to bring you to a great estate. When the Lord told Peter to lend him His boat which he did, the Lord rewarded him with the catch he had never caught before. Afterwards, the Lord made a final demand on him by saying, "follow me and I'll make you fishers of men." You can tell whether after Peter's heeding of this call he wasted away or grew in relevance. 

Is there any God has been saying, "I have need of you to there but who's withholding?" Are there parents there who are withholding their children from their God's will for marriage? Those words have not changed. It is still, "the Lord has need of them." You should hear, be touched and submit. Come to the acknowledgement that it is the Lord and not the disciples you're seeing in their irrelevance who came to make the tender. 

I pray that like a man lacking strong will, you'll follow God just like that once this demand comes. May God persuade any that's contending on making a release somewhere. May you not be hindered from the future you could have featured in with this man or woman likened unto Jesus. That colt later was honoured just like Jesus. People were spreading clothes and branches on the ground for it to pass. You can't go with a special demand on you and not be made special on the road of that demand. You, give it a try.

PRAYER: Lord, I submit to your demand over me. Nothing I possess will be held back from Your service. All that's mine is Yours and Yours first of all.

CHILDREN OF ONE'S YOUTH

Psalms 127:4, KJV

"As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth."

It is a blessing having children in one's youth. Or let me say, it is a better blessing. 

We must know that some things are best done and verily beautiful when they happen without trespassing the appropriate time for it. You can't be graduating as an undergraduate at forty and think you're a superstar. The media might take notice of your perseverance and success but it isn't a very nice testimony.  "As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are CHILDREN OF ONE'S YOUTH."

That place didn't read, " children of one's old age." So, if you're giving birth late when as a woman for instance, you should have closed all under 35 or 40, the result might face one. That's why that place says, "just like arrows are in a warrior's hand, so are children of one's youth." Why don't you ask why children of one's youth is likened to arrows in a warrior's hand?

It takes a fellow who's also a youth - with strength, initiative, skill, aspiration etc to harness a growing child and shape such into what God would desire he becomes. Parents are moulders and if issues break forth into their arms when there is still capacity and interest of a youth for adequate training there, you'll see them bring a force into grooming such child into becoming one that could be sent on an errand of destiny without being afraid. 

If a man has a child at sixty, the man would be eighty by the time the child hits 20. Is it an eighty year old man that wants to train a complete child at that old age? You know youths. Despite the fact that many parents are youths also who are still relevant in the world of their children, these children wearies them and see them as far back and ancient. Now, is it an eighty year old man that would now do better? The old man might be too feeble curbing his youthful exuberance. He'll be tired and let him be. Yet, God doesn't want that. That's why that place read, "...so are children of one's youth."

Only children of your youth are like arrows in a warrior's hand. A warrior is a trained fellow. Arrow itself is useless even when polished without a handler. It would just be in the quiver without its purpose for invention being accomplished. If arrows - polished arrows, made ready for battle should however find its way into the hands of a warrior - one who's skillful in shooting it, you'll see what he'll achieve with that arrow. You will watch with mouth agape how someone uses arrows to accomplish great things. Yet, you had tried doing the same but it was not happening for you. The difference is that he is trained to use arrows while you are untrained. Arrows don't use themselves. Men does. Unless they're concentrated in a man's hand, the destiny, endowment and potentials of arrows won't appear for recognition. Arrow can kill. It can injure. It can pierce. All these capacities of arrows would only be felt if the right person (fitted for the arrows and one the arrows are fitted for grabs it). Until then, expect nothing.

So also are children of one's youth. Since the parents are still young with so many dreams of what they might want these children to become - it is these dreams, thoughts and desire that would drive them into raising children that could discharge the potentials of arrows in them. Those of you with children, do you know how to use your children? Do you know what to turn them into? Arrows in a warrior's hands are turned into killers. That's its purpose. Children in your hands would become what? 

I pray that this God's free gift in your hands would be trained in God's fear, discipline and knowledge that their discharge in life would appear so different and contrast from those raised by those not in their youths. Have you not observe that children grandparents helped their own children raise are always over pampered. Instead of their lording it over those children in godliness and enforcing their godly will on them for a better future, it's such children that dictates things. They'll be eating without brushing! Why? The grandparents strong will or forces has done what it could do in raising the parents. At their stage, it has pedaled down into accommodating and tolerating. That's why you'll see grandparents advocate their grandchildren from being dealt with many times by their parents who are still focused in discipline and what should be. Force of leadership can reduce by age too. This and many more contributes to the raising of arrows. 

God has you in mind. Today is your day, it won't be tomorrow. The waiting mothers would receive opening of womb and those due for marriage shall marry. Some things are best done in your youth.

PRAYER: Lord, teach me the harnessing of arrows. May I bring up children to meet purpose.
