THE HONOUR URGES ON - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 004

Read Judges 5

Hebrews 12:2, KJV

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

It is the honour that you have to concentrate on. Yes, focus on the profit or the reward. The task may be hard but the honour or reward is the encouragement thereof. This is what Barak should have remembered before soliciting for an assistance that took the honour off his hands. When Deborah and Barak were bargaining ad setting whose the trophy or the honour would be, if Barak had asked Deborah to explain what the honour meant or describe how the honour would be to him, probably he wouldn't have let the honour go to the female club. Though Deborah was apparent in her saying by not using any dark saying to keep in oblivion what she intended but it still seems Barak lack understanding of intensity, weight and repercussion of the matter. It was a disgrace to the male cult or clique.  Even God didn't set it so for the females to have the honour here. He didn't intend the honour should be for the females until new terms were set by the two. This is how many men put themselves in trouble when it comes to having sex. They'll be swearing to do this or that for the woman because of sex. They'll promise great things that a wise woman may tell them to give an oath to back up. So, they'll become a debtor. When reality now stares, they'll begin to say but it was a joke. Did heaven not sign this one? Why will heaven not agree with the one you'll give her? Did women not carry Sisera's head? Was heaven not watching the folly of men on earth when Barak agreed the women have the honour because of cowardice? 

It was written of Jesus that He endured the death of the cross because of the joy in front. He knew the joy in front and then he understood what it meant. Many know it also but they don't understand it until they lose it. Consider Esau. He knew what birthright meant but he didn't know its gravity. If he knew, he won't bargain cheaply or enter into such scamming and cloudy deal with Jacob. To prove he didn't know what it meant having the birthright, you'll see he wept having it back but to no avail (Hebrews 12:16-17). That time he was weeping, he had discovered what the birthright meant. What sort of deal is that one? It is not different from what one African country by the name Malawi did by signing a mining deal with an Australian mining company that's projected to earn $900,000,000 in fifteen years. Over the same period, Malawi itself would be paid the royalty of $45,000,000. Yet, Malawi government didn't see it as a bad deal. That's evil. Come to your senses if you've been taken for a fool in this way. 

Is there any who any female first of all is exercising evil dominion through witchcraft over, I break that power. God didn't create females to lord it over males especially in the home setting. The man is the man, the husband is the husband. So, wherever you're been enslaved and your head has become the tail, I recover you. It ought not to be Ahab that would be crying while Jezebel does the comforting (the work of a husband) I Kings 21:5-8. I stop all witchcraft processes. I break its sword and rod. I reverse and reorder life for all males who have given or giving the Barak's (male's honour) to a Deborah. I restore your years and time in newness. Henceforth, the weight and gravity of matters that you may take for granted shall hit you and such will surge you up. To any person also under tyranny or witchcraft of any, come to your senses, awake and risen from the slumber of selling yourself out in perpetual slavery. 

PRAYER: Let the gravity and consequences of events dawn on me. May I see beyond what appears. I see the joy in front and comprehend what it means fully. I end perpetual slavery in Africa.

WHAT SORT OF DEAL IS THIS? - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 003

Judges 4:8-9, KJV

"8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. 9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."

God said, "Barak will go to war and lead the battle". Barak says, "Deborah must go and take her position even when God is not offering her any position as a warrior or war lord." Was God stupid for calling a man to that office of warrior and soldier? Could he not have chosen Deborah? That she's a Judge who discerns matters for people doesn't make her a warrior and leader of an all male's task that God has not even given. God recognizes specialization and individual's limitation. However, as we all know, what was not so from the beginning (as God instructed) was made so by what Barak insisted on. Look at how much Barak sees Deborah as Almighty. He was speaking with frankness of not going as if God was not enough for him. By so doing, he sold himself and his honour out. He changed God's move and handed the trophy to the women's clique. 

There's no man that would hear of the deal Barak made with his mouth here that won't say, "what sort of deal is this? By the time all the warriors of Barak get to link the killing of Sisera to the prophecy and deal made, they'll live to disdain Barak. Why? He bargained so low. He bargained so cheaply. He needed assurance and he relied on a human for it who won't give one without a demand. God acknowledges that. If you labour, you must reap the reward. It is those that don't work that are told not to eat or reap the benefit of labouring. 

Deborah said, "God has spoken. The God of hosts has said you'll lead the army". Uncle said, "Sister, unless you partner with me in this task, I can't do it alone". It sounded innocent but this is how demands that one's generation may live to regret do crawl in. This is how some sportsmen do sign themselves off to a wrong deal. This is how people do dig a well of future regret for themselves. They don't know that a foothold you give to Satan is an opportunity he always maximises well. Am I calling Deborah or women Satan? No! Do get my analogy. Deborah didn't slack. The devil also don't slack. The Bible says he prowls around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. A thing that "seeks" what to eat is already and always at alert. 

Deborah! Deborah who understood spiritual things. She knew a task like this is always followed by a honour. Do you know what she went for? The jugular. The island in the waters. She said, "I agree but the reward or honour is not going to be yours. It is going to be ours." Who are the "ours?" All females, girls, women, mothers in the generation of Deborah and those to come. Till tomorrow, any female given birth to will share in this honour. Whether you like it or not, that's what Deborah's sensitivity, care, courage and responsibility bought for them. However, all males were robbed of that. It was collected from the males here and given to the females and God consented. But don't make mistake that God for once intended or planned that it would be a female that would stamp the head of Sisera. No! He gave the honour to a male (even if it won't be Sisera) who would achieve it but Sisera didn't understand how to deal well on the business table. He didn't understand the offer given him and what great honour it would bring him. Please, don't let anything make you to bargain less at the bargaining table. Also, don't let anything force you to succumb to wrong bargaining. Do you know what I was expecting Barak to do when Deborah presented that offer? What offer? "The honour won't be to men." He should say, "Noo. We have to be the one to carry the head of Sisera." He should shame her with the fact that though she's a prophet and a judge yet she has a husband at home. A husband who lays on her. One who stays on top. One who she answers sir to and to whom her desire is unto. Immediately, she'll set another price. She'll be forced by shame into it. Today, are you in business or whatever? God is giving you the mouth of Deborah that no one can refuse. What you set is what they'll agree on. You'll always win contract. Meanwhile, take cognizance not to lose what you already have like Barak by being tempered and giving consideration to the reward and honour of the deal. Be a man of careful meditation and not emotion.

PRAYER: Lord, I refuse to exchange gold for brass. I'll not let go of my good rewards. I'll not bargain or demand of life lesser than You gave me.

DON'T SELL IT OUT - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 002

Read Judges 4

Judges 4:8, KJV

"And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go".

This statement shows the male man as incapable, shivering and needing assurance here. Don't you ever think it was a blessing to him. It was not because it devalued him and transferred his honour and reward to the women. While this teaching is not revealing or calling females inferior yet we all know that women themselves agree without qualms that men should take the lead while they submit to them. Here, it was reversed. 

God had a work to do. He voiced it out through Deborah, the prophetess and gave it to Barak. What a privilege to be sighted by the Almighty Who has so many people badgering Him for their allocation and assignment. This precious opportunity that some are dying to receive from glory on high however was rejected by Barak. You don't mean it! Tell me something please. He said, "I'm not contending God called me. No problem Prophetess Debby. You know what? I won't move an inch unless the vessel giving this prophecy and I go together". Come and see trouble and mourning in heaven that day. All angels turned to God and said, "Sir, are you seeing that unserious brother?" God said, "very well." Deborah looked at him again and wondered if he meant it. The sternness of not yielding, not agreeing on Barak's face must have served as enough message to her. With that observation, she didn't fight to change his mind that, "but you were the one God gave charge of this assignment." She didn't at all. Deborah who understood how things work with God; who knew that in all labour, there's profit; that it's what you sow you'll reap and that God is not unjust as to forget our labour of love in that we have ministered in His vineyard then quickly grab the opportunity. Do you want me show you how she accepted the offer?

Judges 4:9, KJV

"And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh".

This agreement is not different from the exchange of gold for brass. My Jesus! It is like exchanging glory for glamour. Why would Barak be contented submitting victory to the women clique? However, Deborah agreed to it at bargaining time to collect the reward and honour for womanhood and females). Somebody sold it out and somebody collected it!

Let us teach our males, our boys, our men and our fathers not to compromise their stand. I'm not driving at competition here but if God visits somebody with an assignment and he says, "I'm not interested or not enough for it", God will be forced to make a rearrangement. The same thing happened to Sir Moses. God didn't ordain Aaron would be his mouth (Exodus 4:10-16). Why do people love to carry unnecessary luggage that God has not brought them? Enh? Don't force the hands of God into slashing your rewards. Don't set another standard. If you however will say "no" as the first God visited with the assignment, then God will take that same assignment and its honour and give it to your neighbour. So, let all irrespective of gender seek not to be passed by either by rejecting the assignment wholly or seeking to share it with others when God hasn't make provision for one. Don't pass it over or sell it out. God set that the honour of that assignment would be Barak's or men's but when he reset the terms of the assignment himself, a woman had to carry the trophy. If not, probably Sisera wouldn't need run to seek asylum let alone being killed by Jael. Please, don't give yourself a jungle to clear when the Lord is only allotting a clean passage. Don't hand it over. Do the assignment wholly. Stop unnecessary, unwitty job delegation and partnership which the Lord didn't plan for you.

PRAYER: Lord,may I not reject You and Your offer. Those who reject your offer or resets its condition can't but lose or miss something.

THE JOURNEY WITHOUT HONOUR - Don't Downgrade Yourself Series 001

Read Judges 4

Judges 4:9, KJV

"And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh".

Do you want to know what I heard which led to this teaching? "The journey without honour!" Just then, a voice responded in me, "may we not go on one". May I ask, "do you want to embark on a journey without honour?" A journey without honour is akin to a vainless labour. The kind of labour that returns no profit. 

By the inspiration of the Lord, Deborah, a woman with a calling on her head called Barak and told him of the need to go war against Sisera. She delivered God's message. "And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand (Judges 4:7, KJV). This is enough assurance for any who has ears to hear. God Almighty said he would deliver Sisera into Barak's hands. However, he isn't satisfied. He's doubtful, scared and unsure. Do you know what he did next? He refused to agree. He refuted Deborah and point blank and bluntly tells her he won't move an inch except Deborah goes to battle with him. It is good to test realities and test the veracity of God's spoken word but this brother Sisera is actually reducing the honour of his office doing this. He's degrading himself as a male and then the leading warrior. He's proving to be incapable. You'll see.  At war, the living God, ever faithful kept to His promise and discomfited the Sisera's army before Barak's. They chased and ruined them with the edge of the sword. It was such a very easy battle for the Israelites because God helped them from heaven above (by releasing angelic assistance) and earth beneath (by allowing that ancient river, Kishon to sweep Sisera's soldiers away). In this way, Israel won and Sisera on seeing how the battle has turned contrary flee on his feet. Wait o, he fled? Yes, he did. This fleeing is to fulfill prophecy. Where did he flee to? To Jael, the wife of Heber with whom Jabin, Sisera's Lord have pact. That's wisdom right? You don't seek asylum in the camp of your enemy. You do with whom you have pact to watch each other's back. However, when God has declared that the journey Barak is embarking on with the accompaniment of a woman (Deborah) who shouldn't be dragged into the matter at all will be without honour for him, then prophecy must be fulfilled even under the strictest and harshest or contradictory measures. Prophecy is like a bulldozer. Once it is issued like this. It becomes a force that consumes all hindrances on its path in order to deliver and find rest. The Lord watches over His words to perform them. Let me ask you. Should it be Jael, the wife of Heber with whom Jabin has pact that would kill (betray) Sisera? Who should lie and seek to cover Sisera completely if not she? However, since the release of prophecy, it has gone out contending for realization. 

At the arrival of Sisera at Jael's lodge, he was accepted, relieved with milk and treated lordly. It was not long Jael drives a tent peg into his head. Behold the fulfilment of prophecy that the honour would be to a woman. 

Let me warn you as the Spirit is urging me to do. Those of you God has given assignments to who's calling others to go on the journey with you when they've not being assigned are only trying to reduce, share or eradicate what honour God could have used you only to cause. Your reason is loneliness, fear, doubt and failure and so you seek a companion. Don't you know that if you call those God has not called or given you, they'll seek payment. That's why Deborah said, "the payment is that the main man (that you should kill) won't be sold into your hand but into the hands of a woman". We women (of whom I'm part) shall carry the trophy and so it happened. 

How many of you wants to accept this kind of deal in business? Do you want to miss the real offer? Killing ten thousand soldiers isn't a matter as being the one that carries the head of Sisera. So, be warned and don't bring yourself under conditions that God initially freed you from in all His wisdom. I pray that the honour of the journey will be yours. None will share it with you. The glory is the Lord's but the honour is always men's. There's no assignment without honour but that of Barak whenever it's recounted, there would always be a pointing to the fact that it was a woman who did the job (thereby humiliating him and all the male soldiers taken to battle). It would have been better not going at all. So, be warned. 

PRAYER: Lord, may I not bring myself under a lesser treat that I'll regret. I'm courageous, strong and up to the task. Here I am, anoint me.

THE HEART THAT GOES WITH YOU

READ II Kings 5:1-27

II Kings 5:26, KJV

"And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?"

Where can we go from the presence of God? Psalm 139 is a psalm of discovery that shows our not being able to escape from the Lord.

Psalms 139:2-3, KJV

"2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways".

God is the one that compasses your path. He is the God that surrounds you. In today's passage, Gehazi runs after Naaman to demand of him things that his master, Elisha had rejected after Naaman was healed of leprosy. After his arrival back to the master, Elisha requested of him where he was coming from. He lied and said " thy servant went no whither (II Kings 5:25, KJV).

Elisha then replied, "went not mine heart with thee when the man alight from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to collect this and that?" The following consequence is that Gehazi is cursed and he carries the leprosy of Naaman.

You should know that God's eyes follows you all-around. There is nothing done in secret that won't be made manifest is what the Bible says. As a child of light therefore, let your deeds be wrought in God so that you won't fear being exposed. If you have good deeds, you'll want to manifest it in light/public but if your deeds are evil, you'll want darkness to cover you.  Secret sins and abominable deeds are really irritants to the Lord. You shouldn't indulge in any because God's heart and eyes would always go with you. Your conscience would bear you witness and call you to questions and order.  

There's no time like any other to stop secret sins and come to repentance also than now. It is God before whom we all have to do. Fear Him as one that knows all, sees all and surrounds you about. Decide today not to carry any consequence resulting from secret sins like that of Gehazi. When your ways are straight, you purchase for yourself clear conscience before men and God. Gehazi though lied he goes no where that day knew deep down that his conscience bears him witness. As he denies his master, his heart tells him, "you lie". Your first judge as you go is your heart. So, pay attention. 

PRAYER: I break loose from any habitual sin. I shall keep no secret sin that would bring me losses, harm or death. I'm a child of light and I manifest so.

ALL OF THEM WILL FIGHT BY YOUR SIDE

Judges 5:20-21, KJV

"20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. 21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength".

The resources, company and aid of a child of God is very much super and also much than that of his opponent. There's nothing that the devi can manufacture, is manufacturing or will manufacture that a child of God can't beat due to God's provision aiding him. 

In today's reading, Barak went to battle against Sisera, the host commander of Jabin's army. However, he was discomfited by the Lord and all his warriors sent into panic mode. Sisera himself had to escape on foot. Begin to think of what could happen to a high state official or politician that would make him consider to escape on foot rather than his stately vehicle. Which one is faster for escape? However, which one is safer for escape? He probably wants a better cover in a place that he doesn't want his state chariot point the way to him. Nevertheless, the entire army was defeated by Israel. This defeat didn't come by ang special warriors taken to battle but by God's intervention and help to Barak and Israel. When Israel fought Sisera, it was not only the soldiers who fought, some natural and supernatural elements came to fight on the side of Israel in order to wreck Sisera down indeed. If not, the defeat of Sisera shouldn't have been so quick like this and a whole general reputed for fierceness in battle turn back for escape. 

We were told that stars fought in their causes against Sisera. Are these the normal stars that came out at night in the starry sky? No! The stars there are better interpreted as angels. That's the first help and supernatural help that God sent amidst the troop of Israel for the quick defeat of Sisera. These angels came in a well ordered troop without breaking rank. Then, we were told that River Kishon washed many of Sisera's soldiers away. That's a natural element fighting on behalf of Israel again. What does this denotes? It means both in heaven and on earth, the tide turned against Sisera to have him defeated. While the tide has turned against him both naturally and supernaturally to see to his fall, the tide was working for Israel. 

These are your resources. You can boldly be assured that what you take into battle isn't what the enemy has to bring into such space. That prophet has a revelation of this when he says they that be for us are more than they that be with them. You're more endowed and so fit for battle. The weapons of your warfare are not carnal yet are mighty to the pulling down of spiritual strongholds. The amenities and arsenal that fights on your side are just too numerous for you to be defeated. God will use everything possible to aid you in this life until you succeed. He doesn't withdraw his angels. Are they not ministering spirit? Neither will he spare the wind, even East wind, the sun, the moon etc to fight for you. Today, I make a call to the heaven that resources that answered Israel on this day would answer you. When you're in dire need and you need to break the back of opposition, you'll not only fight as a human and use your natural and limited effort/wisdom, you'll be aided by so many aids that you less thought off. Never think it was a small issue when the Bible says, you'll be in league with the stones of the field. Being in association with all natural forces make them work for one and not against one. Look, you're the one the Lord is fighting for.

PRAYER: Today, I command all aids meant for my help, arise for my deliverance. They that be with me are more than they that be with them.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

BEWARE OF THOSE AND ANYTHING THAT DESPISES THY YOUTH

READ I Timothy 4

I Samuel 17:32-33, KJV

"32 And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. 33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth."

If you have started, congratulations. If you are just seeking entry, may you be fortunate gaining one. The reason is because there are demons fighting starting. David showed interest in combating Goliath but he was not allowed to act on it immediately. He was first of all held back. A voice reasoned his authenticity to fight Goliath and almost quenched him. The voice was Saul's saying, "you are just a youth but he has been a man of war from his youth." Though it was a sense of responsibility that made Saul made this statement yet the demon of discouragement that lurks into people's lives and hinders them from ever going or starting on the road of mainstream purpose was actually hiding behind those words. David could have reasoned with those words and agreed he was just a youth. Saul's description of David humiliated David as being small and incapable. The picture that demon was painting to David was that of his incapability. Thank God David didn't see himself in the light of those heavy words. Saul said David can't handle the challenge but David rather reveals his past valour as criteria that made him fit for the job [I Samuel 17:34-48].

My prayer for you is that you'll pass when you want to heed destiny's assignment but discouragement are being launched at you. How many of you has the Lord called who should run for Him but who have been stopped and forever quenched by men's words especially those of authorities or those with oversight over you? Saul is a man with authority over David and he almost killed that divine motivation and energy of David to go and fight Goliath - which could have hindered the climbing of David into being acknowledged as a man of valour and one to be trusted and then followed in matters of war. It is not the fault of those who despise you and say you're too small for the job but yours if you allow your motivation to be quenched. Did the Bible not say that you should let none despise your youth [I Timothy 4:12]. You must shake them off with their despise.

There are despisers of one's youth. They may also be acting out of jealousy. They are of the set that missed the will of God while young who are too full of envy to guide youths (who still have time and energy) into starting and catching the flight of destiny while they may. I pray that every counsel, admonishment, question that is not the Lord's will for you to agree with won't comfortably take you away from your assignment. This same Saul telling David he was too young to confront their challenge also said "Goliath has been a man of war from his own youth." Why shouldn't David start from his own youth? Many who are saying you're too young to start actually started early. Please, ask them when you'll start if it is not now. Did you see the lie of the devil and how he crawls into the called, chosen, anointed's life to postpone their destiny until they're drawn and drawn further away from heeding the call of destiny through the demon of delay and procrastination which makes them see their incapacity. I'm sensing the oil flowing on me now. Henceforth, the devil won't lie to you successfully again. See what is not the right advice to take. That's what Eve could have seen in the garden when the devil was telling her what good eating the fruit will do her. She did not until eating it leads to their undoing [Gen.3:1-7]. Have an open sight and heart. Don't be dull in perspective but rather like a contender and apologist be ready to give an answer like David gave to Saul on how God has been using him to glory and gloat over similar issues but represented in killing of the lion and the bear.

PRAYER: I refute seduction away from destiny and kingdom assignments. I have correct insights into wrong counsels and advice. I won't fall prey like those that heard the call but couldn't heed it. I start now. 

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Daniel 11:2-35, 1 John 3:7-24, Psalm 122:1-9, Proverbs 29:1
