THE REASON FOR OUR UNFLINCHING

John 4:31-32, KJV

"31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. 32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of".

When you don't know in whom you believe, you'll believe many gods. Job said, "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth (Job  19:25,KJV). Paul said also, "for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day" (II Tim. 1:12, KJV). Look at convictions and persuasions at display. These made them immovable. It is conviction and your knowing of same that stabilizes you. 

At the arrival of the disciples from buying food, they pleaded with Jesus to eat. Why the pleading? Jesus refused to eat. Food (physical food) was one of the things He awaited previously but when purpose appeared before Jesus in form of the Samaritan woman, Jesus was too consumed to give attention to physical food or any mundane thing until this will of God has prospered in His hands. So, they pleaded that He eats. On that note, Jesus responded, "I have meat to eat that ye know not of". They became confused and wondered whether someone has brought Him food. Then, Jesus solved the riddle for them. "My meat is to do the will of He that sent me and to finish His work". It means as at the time physical food arrived, Jesus was minding the Father's will or has been lost in it having not yet recovered from His interaction with the Samaritan woman. Though the Samaritan woman had left for the city at that time; yet, it's very possible to say Jesus was interceding or still minding her in His mind. All these, the disciples don't know. 

What Jesus discovered as at that time kept Him from flinching, distracted or moved. Why people are tossed to and fro is simple. They either have no belief system or the one they have is weak. So, they become victims of every wave of doctrine and pseudo persuasions. Jesus was begged long enough to eat but He kept answering He has meat to eat that they know not of. Your life begins to change and your flowing with multitude stops when you discover the will of He that sent you here after salvation. It will preserve you from turning here and there to give attention to what some other people consider important and so much believe in even if it is not evil. Did you see conflict of wills in that passage? The disciples were advocating for physical food while Jesus was advocating for purposeful living as the meat that matters. A was persuading B to come to their side of the table and join them in the living out of the mundane but B refuses and declares that, "to your ignorance, I have found a cause to live for. That's my own meat, concern, cup of tea, home work and focus". It is not to live for the moment but for eternity in view. I think this is the reply God is bringing to all children who are fully lost in God's will or serious matters of life but who those who distracts want to lead astray. Tell them you can't be distracted because you have found, "the meat that they know not of". Their not knowing of it is what still keeps them in darkness to think you're missing out for giving attention to godliness, spiritual exercises etc. They might have told you, "why stay indoor studying all day? Come out and dine and wine!" Tell them, "purposeful living is not general but as for me, I have found a meat (something pleasurable to indulge in) that all of you are ignorant of". Let that be your reply to any who will come around to say, "call it quit. Enough of that!"

Today, God is doing certain things for those who will recognize it. He's calling you away from mundane practices into purposeful living. He's calling you away to strive for meat that does not perish and then sow for eternity's sake. Secondly, He's making you strong will not to go in the direction of the crowd when they're wrong. Sinners will come to entice you but it's your responsibility to consent not. For God's sake, it was twelve disciples versus Jesus. 12 were persuading 1 to change his cause, objective, life's goal and join them. These are Eve who have eaten the fruit and won't feel reluctant persuading Adam to take a bite. Jesus was strong willed to refute. You'll be strong will to resist next time they come around. Any who has found the truth or what He's created to live for is such man that will be difficult to shift like Mount Zion. Be same today by discovering your purpose here on earth. Such will give you roots that wind of life can't shake. If you find same and you're persuaded of it, you won't be distracted also into offices, calling, assignments and plans that God does not have for you even though lined up for a fellow child of God by your side. This is my sixth year authoring this. I'm not doing another man's work. Except the Master calls it quit or calls me for further work, I won't because of envy or prestige follow after the meat of another. Purpose and discovery of your own meat (cause for living) is what leans your life to one or few things. Did Paul not say, "this one thing I do? (Philp. 3:13)" Take heed to these words and you'll always remain in the centre of God's will as you remain His delight. 

PRAYER: In the contest of will and will power, may the divine win over the mundane. Grant me eyes to see my "why on earth" and give me commitment to staunchly marry same.

THOSE WHO SAY HARVEST IS IN FOUR MONTHS TIME

Read John 4:1-38

John 4:35, AMP

"Do you not say, It is still four months until harvest time comes? Look! I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields and see how they are already white for harvesting".

Any action of yours is a product of a revelation that dawns on you at a particular time. You can't carry a step beyond or outside the understanding that has come to guide your activity at a particular time. Without revelation, there may not be a change in old actions and practices. This is the case with what the anointing is bringing us today.  Jesus told His disciples, "is there not a saying that harvest comes in four months time?" There is a saying like that and the disciples themselves knew it or might have quoted it ahead of time which brought Jesus to remind them of same. However, Jesus said, "Lay four months to come aside. The harvest is already here and is now". What you have slated for and anticipated to come sooner or later; this is its season of dawning upon you. God is saying, go enquire, check introspectively and you'll discover that you're already in the so long awaited season. However, you still don't know. At the time Jesus said this to them, He was been persuaded to eat upon the arrival of His disciples from town. He declined the food while declaring His meat is to do the will of His Father and finish His work. He even said He has food to eat which they know not of. On this ground, they became more confused and began to wonder whether somebody has brought Him food. It is in the bid for Jesus to bring them out of this slowness of heart and understanding that He said, "Do you not usually say in four months time comes the harvest. Meanwhile, look at the field. The harvest is already here". Jesus said this to intend a deeper thing. What's the deeper thing? That work to do has finally come. It is not a kind of work that is to come but one that has arrive and as at that time has even taken operation. As we would all testify, Jesus had just finished speaking with the Samaritan woman who having been touched by Jesus' prophetic ministry ran to town with shocks and echo of, "come see the man who ever told me all I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" She's half won! It means she has been touched already and is on the verge of making her choice. Any little push will finally win her. It is on this ongoing task that Jesus was concentrated on and so refused food. Purpose wrapped Him wholly for His Father. He has seen why He came to the earth and He won't let that assignment alone to attend to food. Imagine His passion for souls. So much more that food was collected from His mouth. Has calling, purpose, assignment and Christ make you sacrificial this way?

God is sending to those who are fond of comforting themselves with the saying that, "it is not now. We still have some time to go." He's saying, "you have none to go". Has God afore called you to His vineyard even as a missionary, minister etc? Don't say it is still four months to harvest and that you still have time to consider before joining. He's saying, the field is ripe already and your service is needed outrightly. A season seems to have stolen upon you unawares but God is sending to tell you that the season is a "not-to-come" season. It has already. So, join the move. Jesus said that to the disciples so that they'll be caught up in the revelation of hunting souls like He has been consumed to do. He wanted to recruit them and get them busy with His own business. So, He was telling them, "You do say the harvest will be here in four months. However, open your eyes, look around. See that the field is already white and ready for harvest". Tell yourself, "it is not coming. It has come". If that be, my action must change to fit the season. Christ is also coming in the cloud sooner or later, do you still retain this consciousness? If you do, you'll be warmed after souls.  

If the field is already white and it's time for harvest, it means all things are ready also. The souls Christ is calling them and us to come and harvest are those some have laboured over that we just need to reap the reward of their labour. They are like that doubtful Samaritan woman who was saying, "Could this be the Christ?" She has heard and to win her takes just a little effort. So, if any one confirms and answer her question, she will believe in Jesus. Jesus has appeared to some sinners already in dreams and visions. They just need a preacher to finish the process. This is where somebody sows and another reaps. That's what give rise to the words Jesus used to encourage his disciples later here [John 4:36-38].

It is not in four months time again. What you've been anticipating, what you were trained for is now upon you. Step into it and benefit of it. Let your revelation change to discerning the season you've entered into. It is the season of recruitment of men. It is the season of discovery of purpose. It is the season where what is paramount to the Master's heart is what you should do also. May the fire catching Christ catch you. May His heartbeat becomes yours. May you run with His vision. May you not tarry. May His thought become yours and whatsoever He feels per time be your experience. It is only by this that you won't be lagging behind or act sluggishly to practically involve yourself in the kingdom activity of the season. Only those who have not picked revelation needs explanation and teaching on same so that its understanding would dawn on them. Did you see how much Jesus laboured to let His disciples get caught up in the revelation of "My meat is to do the will of He that sent me and to finish His work. I have meat to eat which you know not". I pray, receive a quickened understanding. I chip away dullness off your heart. Your heart won't be too fat or gross to receive, perceive and understand the motivation of God for your day or season. Be a partaker and co-labourer with God (the Holy Spirit). It is interesting because He'll do the greater of the job. 

PRAYER: I rebuke every spirit veiling me from understanding of my usefulness to God, the kingdom and sinners. I discover purpose and follow same. I'm aware of the time we're in.

SEE THE URGENCY

Read John 4

John 4:35 ,NIV

"Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

The incident in this chapter is one of the popular incidents and loving story of believing in Jesus that we have in the Bible. Jesus and the Samaritan woman are in conversation. Not long, Jesus reveals Himself as the Messiah they've being awaiting. At the proclamation of Himself as the Messiah, the Samaritan woman left for the city in surprise, having being afore caught up in surprise that Jesus was a prophet also - one who revealed a part of her life supernaturally. So she a questions, "could this be the awaited Christ?" Upon this, Jesus' disciples came. They persuaded Him to eat but He would have none of their physical food. He rather told them that His meat, food, motivation, morale booster, calling, assignment is to do the will of He that sent Him and then finish it. Jesus further told them that He has food to eat which the disciples know nothing about. They were just confused. So much more that they began to ask if any has brought Him food. 

You see, they're being confused. Jesus said, "He has food to eat which they know not of and that His meat is to do the will of He that sent Him". What's He referring to? Living the will and expectation of the Father over Him is what He called His meat. God has done all things well to have made His path and that of that Samaritan woman cross. That's the woman who has become meat - a work to concentrate on until she believes in Christ. It is not different from the work of evangelism that Christians does to win people. 

At the persuasion of Jesus by His disciples to eat and at the observation of their still being confused at why He is not eating, Jesus then asked them, "Did you not usually say or quote, it is four months to the harvest. Look at the field. They're white already for harvest". What's Jesus saying? You all have a saying to show the nearness of harvest, "Is it not four months to the harvest?" They use such to hint at their closeness to harvest. Jesus in essence was saying, "what you however do expect is here. It is no longer four months to harvest but it is already harvest (soul harvesting though). This is the season for reaping. It is not even four months away. Let's get into the ride and take this opportunity. So, why be careless. So, why at harvest not harvest. Jesus was speaking in association with His meat of winning that woman and doing the work of He that sent Him while it is day. He wanted the disciples to also see the urgency that all of them don't have much time left again. The long anticipating harvest is here. If you say it is four months to the harvest and the field is already white and ready for harvest, what should you be doing? Harvesting off course. Going about that same king's business that has become urgent. But, it seems the disciples were only concerned about physical food. The revelation Jesus had of the harvest time being then, they didn't catch it let alone understand him despite the obvious presentation of the season of harvest (time to win souls) that has come upon them suddenly. 

Jesus was saying, this is a fitting time for harvest of souls and I will harvest souls. The field is already ripe. You have a saying that the harvest is almost near but in this case, the harvest has even come fully. What matters is now to get the job done. Jesus' teaching here shows what every Christian should busy themselves with. Also, "harvest is near" is what we've been saying but the harvest has come now". Put the reaper to the field and bring in for Jesus. Don't just be a Christian who confesses and don't do. The disciples all are caught up in saying, "Is it not four months to the harvest" yet they couldn't understood the time they had entered into. Don't be such soul. You must have the revelation of what is major in Jesus' heart and what pains or motivates Him so much more that while on earth, He even turned His face away from physical food. See the urgency that made Jesus do away with physical food when He saw the high calling that He should give attention to. Listen, "Is it not four months to the harvest" has become "now is the harvest?" Let's harvest!

PRAYER: Lord, may I be signalled as to what opportunity to take which I've been expecting since. May I understand and see the field (souls) as ready for reaping.

PRAYERLESSNESS IS PRIDE

Daniel 6:10-11, KJV

"10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. 11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God."

When you read, "prayerlessness is pride", you may enquire plainly or wonder with ego why it is pride. That's why one of the things that's difficult to judge by all that's written instantly for meditation is a quote. It is not all quotes that seems so glaringly explanatory at contact. A quote is like a tip of the iceberg. The iceberg itself is deep down and more massive than the tip. You can't even have the tip without the iceberg. My quotes are from my teachings for instance. And at times when I receive a quote before a teaching, I could then go to do a teaching from the quote. So, don't be quick to judge. Those who won't judge are those who have had that revelation of why prayerlessness is pride already or those who are meek to learn. 

Prayerlessness is pride! In today's passage, Daniel was caught praying to God. In the words of his accusers, he was praying and making supplication to God. When we pray, what do we do? We acknowledge another's presence or existence. We address an invisible God that by faith we believe exists and rules in the affairs of men. No one prays that doesn't believe God exists first of all. The Bible says, "he that comes to God must believe that He is and that He's a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. [Hebrews 11:6]"

In prayer, you acknowledge your helplessness the moment you begin to speak to God about something or someone. If you could help yourself, you wouldn't look unto another. That's what reliance is all about. That's what self sufficiency is. So, any that prays or prays often can be described as humble because it takes humility to acknowledge somebody else over oneself. Now, when we come to pray, what do we do? We make supplications. This is a type of prayer. You can come to God to declare or make decrees but in Daniel's case which I believe you've fallen into before, he was making petition otherwise known as supplication to God. Supplication is also entreaty. What does it mean to entreat? It means to beg. "Begging" here don't connote having the slavish mental attitude of not being bold or believing God as One's Father. Have we not been told "to come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need [Hebrews  4:16]?" Now, a going up is to get what accomplished? "To receive help." 

Any that acknowledges he needs something but which he can't give himself but looks unto another to give can't but pray. So, if you're this reliant on another, you're not proud. That's why those that are wealthy according to human standard tend to be proud thinking they are a self contain kind of people. Why many of them proclaim themselves atheist is because of all they have working for them in the natural. Affluence can make you detach from God or even any human relationship while equipping you with the mindset of my money answers all things. Was it not said of Jeshurun that when he grew fat, he kicked against the Lord? [Deut.32:5]. Was it not said of Uzziah that after the Lord helped him till he was strong [could then stood on his own] kicked against God? A revelation that one can declare his detachment at the revelation that he is now something.

Whether you decree or supplicate, you still acknowledge somebody over you and you trust Him to bring to pass what you're praying for. "Prayer" or "praying" is an encompassing word. It describes many types of prayers. That's why we were told to "pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints [Ephesians  6:18]."

We humans must know that we are not on our own. If you claim there are what you can do for yourself without God; it must be clear to you also that there be many things you'll need the supernatural to do for you. If you don't want to seek the devil for what's unnatural which you can't accomplish, you're left with no option but to submit to God, believe He is, take his yoke (demands on you) and pray to Him while you await Him show His obligation towards your prayers. Daniel didn't say he was enough. He was the number one politician amidst all appointed by the king. Yet, he was found to often go back (detaching from the kingdom duties) to pray and supplicate to God. No wonder, though he was popularly known as Daniel, many prophecies of the end time were still received and given by him. That makes him a prophet. Daniel's prayers to God shows his need of God. Your day/moments of prayerlessness reveals your not being a needy again. It's my prayer that perpetually, we will be needy so we can be tossed back to Him. Show me he who has no need to meet now or later in the future and I'll show you a man that can do away with God and men. It is need that makes us cry to the one Jesus offered prayers unto in the days of His flesh. When you're shaken but needs the stability that no man can provide, you'll need to look up somewhere for help. May that be God!

PRAYER: Lord, may I see my helplessness as to often pray to You for help.

IT HAS BECOME LIKE FLAX CAUGHT BY FIRE

Read Judges 15:6-14

Judges 15:13-14, KJV

"13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock. 14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands."

Samson agreed with the men of Judah to bind him and hand him over to the Philistines. Those ones already came to him wondering what sort of evil he has brought on them since he knows they're under the Philistines. Yet, these Philistines are his own enemy. So, they reached a hypocritical agreement to bind Samson and hand him over under the pretext of Judah being visibly seen by the Philistines as a good subject. 

They did. When the Philistines rushed with a shout to apprehend him, something immediately happen to him. The Spirit came on him and when it does, the cords (strong and agile bounds) that were used to bind him became very relaxed, loosed like flax that fire has caught. Look at that experience. He didn't do anything by his energy. He didn't struggle to unbuckle the tie but when the Spirit came upon him, there was a relaxation and loosing of his bound for him yet without any effort except for willingness and desire to be loosed in order to fight the enemy. 

Yesterday, by the Spirit, I declared, "it is broken and solved." Today, God is coming for some other people again. This move must not be missed. Hear this, the Spirit also makes difficult things easy. Yesterday, it was the spoken word of the anointed but today, it is the Spirit Himself. Is that not why we have written, "...not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts" [Zechariah 4:6, KJV]. God is not trying to eliminate hard work where you should work righteously to gather but the issue is this, you can't break free by might or your strength where you're under spiritual bondage. Spiritual bondages don't break by effort. If someone is cursed, let him labour from today till tomorrow, his experience will be like that of Peter (though he was not cursed here) that toiled all night yet without catching a thing. He may try saving. He may try giving good customer service in order to retain them. He may even be making some money but he'll see that things are still not adding up. Why? It's spiritual limitation he's fighting and to fight that back, they don't by man's wisdom, personal discipline or improvement etc first of all but by the anointing destroying that yoke. If someone is cursed not to be buoyant financially and he's adding discipline to save, it won't still work. Such will only be frustrated. First of all, take authority over that spirit by which you're cursed. In anyone's life, I cast out such spirit. 

The Bible says:

Isaiah 10:27, KJV

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing [Holy Spirit]." 

When we invent things, we do to serve a particular purpose and eradicate a need. When God gives the anointing also, He does with the hope that we'll be wise enough to learn and understand that it is only the anointing that destroys the yoke. Look, it is not by weeping, shouting or hollering. If any one even lays hands on you void of the anointing, the yoke won't still be broken. But if he speaks the word only or touch you only and it's by God's Spirit (the anointing), you'll immediately receive a testimony of your chains or bound breaking, melting and relaxing or loosing its hold on you. Pay attention to me. God hasn't raised me at this season to partner with the Holy Ghost to show pity on your problems. He raised me with the speaker's mouth given to Jeremiah to pluck down or build up [Jeremiah 1:10].

"It became as flax caught by fire" is today's anointed word meant for your freedom. Samson was under bond but when the Spirit rested on him, the bound knows where to go without even being instructed. It was like that gate that opened to them of its own accord as they approached it. I decree, let your problems melt. Let it answer you by the reason of God's heavy presence heavily present today. Let yokes be destroyed. Let burdens be lifted. Let the deaf hear. Let the blind see. The dumb, speak. The lame, walk. Diseases and sicknesses are declared unwanted. It is the Spirit that sets free. Be freed where you desire freedom! 

PRAYER: It is the Spirit that sets free, man's effort profits nothing.  Thank God I'm freed.

FATHER OF ALL CREATURES AND ADMINISTRATOR OF ALL

Read Psalm 104

Psalms 104:24, KJV

"O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches".

There's no one as caring for all living than God. When God created all living things: plants and animals, you'll know from His allocating a habitat and food for survival for each that He desires that all should live well. God doesn't suffer creation. He created them all and then in wisdom administers them all. No wonder the Psalmist in a mind bugling manner after seeing the orderliness of God in putting each creature where they should live and then making provision of how to live and what to feed on for sustainment for them cries out in praise of God's wisdom. What did he see? Did he see a thing at all? He said, "How many are thy works? In wisdom have you done all. The earth is full of thy riches." It wouldn't have taken wisdom to do all if not that they were many works. God is not confused despite how much they were. Despite the so many things He created and need oversee, He created all in wisdom so that all might live as if He, God is no longer present to see to their welfare. It is this wisdom that makes the earth to be in turn full of God's riches. It is just well off for the earth and all its inhabitants: men, animals or plants.  What did this Psalm tell us about the many works of God's hands?

After the creation of heaven and earth. God began to fill the earth. 

God send the springs into the valleys and amidst the mountains to feed both bird and beasts. It takes a thinking person to have done that. It shows God's care for all He has created. Creation or invention is not as important as maintenance. That they could all be sustained is the most important. That after creation, they didn't die of hunger and perish is what matters. As He does this, He gives rain to water the earth so there will be grass for animals and herbs for the service of men. Is that not food for the work of God's hands again? Look at what God puts in place because of His creature again. Is any father not in agreement with this? Is this not how you see to it that your children (so to say work of your hands) has wherewithal that they don't know where it's coming from to feed on for nourishment. Then, He gave trees for the shelter and housing of birds. As for the stork, the fir tree is her house. No other bird debates its housing with it. God has allocated for each. As for the wild goats, the high hills are his house. As for the conies, the rocks. You see, all of them have their places provided for them by God who didn't get confused.

This makeup of God not only takes effect on earth but rather extends to the sea. The sea is full of innumerable countless creatures that creeps. In that same big world has God placed the sea monster known as Leviathan. God created a whole habitat for him that He might play. Is this not how man thinks of his children as to create play ground for them and buy the toys that delights and aid their play? All these creatures all wait on God including man for survival. God created them to depend and take livelihood from Him. That's why "in Him we live, move and have our being" is still very important. It is God's generosity that keeps them alive. God as a super manager has created habitats, worlds and wherewithal of coping/laws of living around each so much more that God don't have to come around to apply effort to see that one lives and lives well. The rain knows its season and it rains. If that be, there'll be grasses for the beasts to eat. What God has instructed, He is not instructing again. God has ordered all in wisdom and I think this is the kind of wisdom you need to create things in your life and put them in their places. So much more that they won't conflict. Receive the power of invention for innumerable things and receive God's wisdom to order them without getting confused. This world shall not be bigger than your wisdom. You shall in truth have it under subjection and dominion. 

PRAYER: Father and Creator of all creatures, I receive wisdom of creation and administration from You today. I shall live to subdue and bring profit out of the earth.

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Deuteronomy 18:1-20:20; Luke 9:28-50; Psalm 73:1-28; Proverbs 12:10

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

IN THE CLOUD

Read Esther 6:1-11

Genesis 9:13, KJV

"I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth".

This month is our cloud month. There are those God wants to place in the cloud. The idea of placing something in the cloud is extremely distinguishing. God himself placed the rainbow in the sky. It therefore becomes obviously impossible for it to be hidden. A thing up there and one down here will attract different attention to themselves. God is setting men in the cloud. This setting up is not one that God is just doing as if He were irresponsible. Men He'll set in the clouds are those who have been tried and those who could show forth His life. The idea of setting them in the cloud therefore is to have life of Christ: His character and charisma revealed by example to the many humans that may consider them as examples to follow. Stars easily model character for many to follow. 

It doesn't cost God much to help you in transitioning. While every Christian is in the Father's heart, yet it is not all Christians that God Himself will consider to make a cloud or rainbow Christian. The reason is simple. So that they won't set the wrong precedence. Did the Bible not say, "a city set on a hill can't be hidden neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel". This is the moment of revelation. If you've been light indeed, then God's intention isn't that you remain hidden. Those of you who have satisfied God's heart in the secret, where nobody watches, where nobody interferes; God is bringing a just recompense of setting you in the cloud. Who lights a candle and put it under a bushel? None does that. God doesn't put the rainbow in the cloud to be obscene. He wants all eyes to see you as he that He is certain of his life as one that will draw Glory to God. God is raising new stars, models and kingdom examples and if you'll continue to pass tests with God, He'll make you such one amidst men. 

One king asked, "What shall be done unto the man the king desires to honour?" At the time this was coming out of King Ahasuerus' mouth, Mordecai had already saved his life and he has even gone unnoticed let alone rewarded. However, God called back that act of Mordecai and God rewarded Mordecai by setting him in the cloud. First, Haman who thought it would be him the king had thought to do such honour recommended such man to be honoured by being fully costumed in the king's worn clothe and then made to ride on his horse while taken throughout the city by one honoured princes of the king with a shout at every point in time that, "This is what example God makes out of the people He wants to honour". 

Don't you like that? That's fame you're seeing in manifestation. For Haman, that's what he needed next but it is not of God to give the platform to men of crooked characters to rise. It's because they'll spread their crookedness. They may choose to rise through their notoriety but like Haman, they'll always fall before a Jew. God is raising you up, setting you up to take your place where the sun, moon and stars becomes obviously visible for all to see. His intention is one.

Matthew 5:16, KJV

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven".

As long as you bring glory to God, He doesn't mind your enjoying the affluence and much of that He'll still bring. So, know why you're being set in the cloud. The Lord has made up His mind to bless and of men to make stars, He won't change it. This is your time of great rising to where all eyes sees and where all gazes are directed to. 

PRAYER: God, I learn discipleship that I may not be a crooked example. I shall be to the praise of God always. 

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Deuteronomy 16:1-17:20; Luke 9:7-27; Psalm 72:1-20; Proverbs 12:8-9
