THE DANGER IN HANNAH'S VOW - Vow Series 004

I Samuel 1:11, KJV

"And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."

Many people have not seen the danger in Hannah's vow. It is a danger indeed but it's also a danger that's not dangerous. What makes it a danger, you'll see. What makes it also a danger that's not dangerous, you'll as well see. What was Hannah's vow? Give me a man child that I shall give to you all the days of his life and razor shall not come on him! That was her request and we all learnt from the Holy Bible that Hannah didn't defer to katergeo (cut off) Samuel to the Lord. She respected that vow. Also, Samuel's head was kept far from any shaving. 

Now, let's ask a question. What if as Samuel grows with Eli, he lacks desire for God's things and wanted to be a run away boy, who would have been guilty if Samuel left the house of the Lord and then shave his head - break his consecration? Don't forget that that was the vow the mother made on his behalf. Samuel knew nothing but that was done even time ahead of his conception. Should that be enough to free Samuel from this vow of his mother if he had decided to live a rebellious life?

The Spirit told me the first solution to what seems to be a riddle here is to train up a child in the way he should go and when he's old, he'll not depart from same". Did Hannah do that? How did she do that? By sending off Samuel away from herself to acclimatize with the Lord before the great age of accountability. She did her own by cutting off Samuel immediately when Samuel couldn't have had will to say, "no, I am not going. I am not going to walk on that road you have earmarked for me before birth." Hannah must have sent Samuel away so early and immediately after weaning because she was forecasting the boy might change his mind and decide on another road of living if she doesn't point him to one which she already vowed as what would raise him up. So, the Justice of the Lord would have discharged Hannah if when Samuel got to Eli's place and as he matures begins to really misbehave out of his set life. Notwithstanding, if that happens and Hannah is still alive, would Hannah not still be under obligation to call Samuel to order and remind him of the life she vowed and fixed for him which he must live by? Yes and this is how I know. 

Proverbs 31:1-4, KJV

"1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. 2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? 3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings.4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:

That's a mother warning and telling the child not to live somehow because he's a child of her vow. It means after the vowing, a straying from it should follow a remembrance from parents to their children. Tell them, it is not good that they live that way they've suddenly slipped into. It's contrary to their vowed lifestyle. 

If Samuel had shaven his hair, left the Prophet's Academy and ran to the parks and garage with hot crying in honesty of heart from Hannah yet without Samuel's repentance, God would have discharged Hannah to hold Samuel accountable because Samuel is aware of what life he should live and what calling that vow has placed on him but now does contrarily. He'll also be held accountable because he has reached the age of accountability and could decide or choose for himself. But this should not deter parents from ordering their children in the way they should go. Also, when they miss it, they should remind them of who they really are or called to be and be called back. That principle works and works much of the time. The human mind at birth is a clean slate - having tabularaza mind. It is what you fill it with that would be the manifestation of your child. Begin to familiarize your little baby with God's way and they shall never depart from it.

PRAYER: Lord, I shall not hide your prophecies and promises from my issues. Instruct me to instruct them.

JEPHTHAH HARMED HIMSELF IN VOWING - Vow Series 003

Read Judges 11

Judges 11:31, KJV

"Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering."

One major person I sympathised with who became a victim of his vow is Jephthah. This is where this Bible verse finds fulfilment on him.

Psalms 15:1,4 KJV 

"1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 4 ...He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not."

Jephthah has been fetched by the elders of Gilead to lead them to war and fight against the Ammonite on their behalf. For Jephthah to have sworn, that task was not easy in his sight. What you must know is that no one vows under ease. Vowing is done when pressurized, in fear, great need or uncertainty. That's why all these great emotions that pervade the air at the time of seeking help or deliverance may blindfold one's reason. Many people are not different from he who went to borrow money and was asked how much he'll be able to pay back monthly but mentioned an exaggerated amount in order to look serious and impressing to the lender. Many of them don't keep their word. You'll see them lagging behind and by that they'll destroy their reputation with their creditor. There's this idea in human mind that does believe in the using of vow to stir up God. It is a challenge anyway both to human and to God. If He was unavailable before he'll think, at my vowing, He comes to fight my battle now. However, vowing is not to be considered as a tool for bribery. 

Jephthah however didn't specify his obligation to God more specifically. He said at his victory, he'll sacrifice to God whatsoever comes out of the door of his house to meet him. Yet, humans live in that same house with him! What was he thinking? Did his householders went on vacation before? Was his daughter in boarding school and was not expecting her at home? Or was Jephthah domesticating some animals? You could go on and on proposing this and that as to why Jephthah would make a vow that was open ended. That vow had no full stop behind it. It was like a fill in the gap vow. It's not different from an open cheque yet. Why? He didn't specify what he would sacrifice. He said, "whatsoever!" That's where event that God permits came in to make a choice of her daughter. 

At conquest, Jephthah arrived in fulfilment having defeated the Ammonites but alas, look at who came out of his house to meet him rejoicing. The daughter was happy that her father had just won the victory. That's typical of females to do even when it is their husband who has just hit it big. However, Jephthah couldn't believe his eyes. He lamented it but quieted himself like a man to do like he has said. The most shocking is that that's his only child. Just his only child. When you make your vow, under no condition should you leave it open ended. I told you, you have been given the right to fix for both yourself your desire and your obligation to Him. Choose it specifically, wisely and lift it to God. Let Him see it ahead of time. You'll observe that despite the unfortunate situation Jephthah fell into, God didn't appear to Him from heaven in sympathy that the vow's terms should be reviewed. There's no reviewing in vow. Once you peg it down, you're on your own. God didn't force the terms on you, you choose and He will judge you by your own mouth. So, bridle your mouth. Jephthah knowing this told the daughter, I can't but do unto you as I have vowed. The daughter knowing what weight vow carries and knowing that God has kept His part of the terms to her father also agreed to it until she was indeed offered up to God. Watch your mouth. I'm telling you. Don't let your reason be clouded. After man might have received what he longs for, the scales do fall off his eyes to see his errors. See your fault and error before you vow. Don't trap yourself. Exercise caution.

PRAYER: I receive a heart of wisdom in vowing. I shall exercise faithfulness in deed on all my confessions.

DON'T HURT YOURSELF IN VOWING - Vow Series 002

I Samuel 1:10-11, KJV

"10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. 11 And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou...wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."

In all your vowing; please, don't hurt yourself. I said a thing yesterday in Series 001 on the mercy of vowing. It is with God but He has given it to the children of men. God has already being tender to all human kind in that we set the terms both for He and ourselves. Since people have been coming to God, He has not before specified to them what their obligation would be towards Him on vowing. The reason might not be far fetched. He wants them to be able to bear the burden they'll measure unto themselves. However, as far as we all know and we'll agree with, many men amidst men have not lived up to this in spite of God's mercy that allows them set the terms. Why should you hurt yourself? Is there anyone here who a billionaire you know so would give an open cheque to for a sum you yourself prefers who won't seek to please himself even if he'll show mercy in his request to that freewill giver? If you'll in that wise decide to your favour, you should in vowing be reasonable and not allow your importunity dictate to you. Does the scripture not says, if prophecy, prophesy according to the proportion of your faith (Rom.12:6, KJV)." If there's a thing like that which seeks to regulate by what faith, boldness, assurance and veracity (big or small) people prophesy, I'm thinking you should vow in proportion to what you could conveniently pay. Introspect before you vow and set your obligation in accordance to what won't break you or later get deferred.

God is not saying, "impress me by vowing." He already stated clearly that you don't need to vow especially if you won't fulfill it. Vowing is not the primary way given us to make our requests known to God. It is in praying and exercising faith! Praying by holding God's promises and prophecies to Him is enough as that our Father who's in heaven even honours his Word above His name (Matthew 6:5-13, Psalm 138:2). So, watch it! Whenever you're to make a vow, let the terms favour you. Don't think God would be displeased if you choose the most insignificant thing to do like "joining the social workers to clean the church only or doing the least of the least." Also, let me advise you if you're proud or egoistic, don't set as your obligation to God the doing of a humiliating or flesh crucifying thing. It's not because I want you to remain proud. It's so that you won't defer paying it since Satan might begin to ask you to reconsider and you might think, "a whole I rolling on the floor and what would my fans think." Simply put, each should choose obligation to God in the area of their strength where their faithfulness is easily given. So, it is not how big or small your obligation to God is that moves or dissuades Him from answering. If that be, collecting things from God through vowing would have been the easiest thoroughfare which everybody would be threading to have their demands. One would tell God, "if you could give me 100,000,000 this month, I'll pay 20% to church." Even despite how profitable this request and deal is to any mind reading it, you'll agree some men with cunning, crooked, and unfaithful life would still want to review the deal later wondering what God would do with that whole half. Even when God does not allow any condition arise as need or unforseen contingency i.e medical crisis that may claim their own fifty million off, they'll still say, "God's too much." I ask, did you not halve the money to God? But let me tell you, if you suddenly discover at that time that an operation for you or a beloved would cost 50 million exactly to execute, go ahead and not cultivate thought of making any of the vowed 20% of God yours. It can't but be the test of Abraham whom God gave a child and demanded same from him. He was faithful and God gave him a ram instead of his son. You'll be shocked to find the disease suddenly disappear at the final checkup for the surgery if you've proved your faithfulness by sending God's half to church yet in the face of that crisis. God would regard you as very faithful and you won't have to pay bills for operation again since God has become your salvation now. 

People, set terms in proportion to what you could pay and not what you're asking. Hannah did herself that favour. How did I know that to a good extent? "But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever (I Samuel 1:22, KJV).

Did you see determination there that she really meant to keep that vow? She missed Shiloh until the boy would be ready to be packaged as a give away to God. Her heart of wanting to give Samuel away is indeed revealed in her confession to Elkanah. It is what you find not too heavy to do you become prompt and decisive with. Did you see her promptness and decision there? Hannah thus sure set an obligation she'll be able to pay. She needs a child and to her, it could just be to erase the reproach that she's barren in life. She seems not to worry much as to whether the child grows up with her or not. That's the prove! Don't be unnecessarily moved to inflate what you'll do which you may not do because you feel as human, "I must balance the equation. If He'll be doing this much for me, I must do unto him that much also." It's written no where on vowing. Rather, faithfulness to whatsoever you have set by heart or mouth is what matters in vowing. You won't lose credit worthiness with God if you're a quick payer of your vows. He'll esteem and have great regard for you.

PRAYER: Let me have a revelation of what the prayer of faith is and its importance as to know I don't need vowing. I grow in faith and grace to pull and receive. I vow according to the proportion of my faithfulness.

GIVE IT AWAY IMMEDIATELY - Vow Series 001

Read I Samuel 1

I Samuel 1:24, KJV

"And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young."

It is hard giving away but you must learn to give away. It could even become harder when you make a vow. Have you observe that after making a vow, fulfilment of same always seems too high. That's why conclusively, the Bible admonishes you not to vow at all if you won't keep it (Eccl.5:4-5). Rather, simply pray on your requests and don't be a vain speaker because God won't hold you guiltless. Hannah vowed unto the Lord. It was a vow of agony and extreme bitterness. She's been under besetting mockery from Peninnah whose quiver is full of arrows. 

I Samuel 1:11, KJV

"And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head."

At the weaning of baby Samuel, Hannah didn't tarry, she refused to delay but rather tore Samuel off herself to the the Lord as vowed. How easy is this? Couldn't she have changed her mind after birthing Samuel? She could but she did not. Try imagining someone who has been reproached for years who now has one that she should take comfort in but which something suddenly collects same from her. How easy would it be? Some people would have said, "God, let us revisit this thing. What would people say if they hear I'm no longer with child. Won't they call me wicked for wanting to cut off such a kid as this?" It is at moment like this that people suddenly become reasonable. Previously, they were ruled by extravagant emotion. Many of such didn't consider what they were saying well while vowing. They thought the mightiness of their words is what would compel God to answer them. So, they swell and swear big and at the end shelves the responsibility - which is keeping their own side. The mercy in vowing is that you set the terms yourself: both yours and God. God doesn't impose or tell you what He'll agree on before He blesses you. So, you'll be sincerely and indeed guilty if at last what you said you would do seems too big to you to now do. 

We should learn from Hannah who's a human of like passion like us all. I knew she faced her temptation of keeping Samuel longer but she didn't. She disciplined herself having known a rule that the more I keep this boy with me, the more it becomes difficult cutting him off to the Lord later. Nothing in her vow stipulates sending off Samuel to the Lord's house at such a tender age when he gets weaned. When Hannah said, "and I would give him to the Lord all the days of his life", she could have done that at a later age of Samuel and not at weaning but I suppose her conscience bore her witness to release the boy at such a tender age and then after weaning. To Hannah, "and I'll give him to God all the days of his (Samuel's) life" is justified to begin after weaning. That's what her conscience allowed and she didn't violate it though really tough to do for any mother. That's why as soon as Samuel was weaned, she closed her eyes and pretend to be a wicked mother but sent him to the academy of the prophets that soonest and immediately. Her vow was to release the boy and she was quick to make it good. Samuel departed to the prophet's academy so early that the Bible witnessed, "and the child was young." I knew everybody must have wondered at the absurdity of such mother to have cut off such a little child away from herself yet at such a tender age. It costs her but she paid her part of the vow fully. Hannah isn't a spirit but a human. Learn from her and not delay to pay your vow or all other already prescribed obligations to the Lord i.e tithe. The more you delay, the easier it becomes forgetting and harder to redeem. So, as soon as you receive alert, let it be the first thing you cast out from you. Revere God this much and He'll take cognizance of you the more. 

PRAYER: Father, show me my irredeemable vows and I shall make them good. Help me to keep any future ones and restrain my lips from quickly vowing.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

A GREAT STORY OF AMENDMENT 

READ John 4:46-54

John 4:52, KJV

"Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him".

Recovery is possible. Restoration can be an experience. Many stories of powerful recoveries litter the Bible. In real life also, I've seen and experienced cases of recovery also. 

Jesus sent word ahead of a man to his son who is sick and at the point of death. Jesus only says, "your son lives". When this man eventually reaches home and investigates when the boy begins to get better, he could trace it to that hour of Jesus' prayer. So, all the glory goes back to Jesus for the testimony could be traced to Him only. No qualms or contest on who has done it and should be praised instead.

Today however, I am concerned with that piece of question the father's boy asked to ascertain when the boy adjusted in his position and condition of health.

"Then enquired he of them the hour when he _began to amend_ ". 

"began to amend" is the phrase needed. What does it mean to amend? It means to begin to readjust. If you say a thing amends, it mean a leaving of its old positioning to taking a new positioning. When that man asked when his boy began to amend, he was asking in essence when his health started to depart from where it was - the deteriorating condition to going back to good health. God wants us be in health - the correct position we should be and shows more than a passing interest to take us back to health when there's deviation from good health. Mind you, deviation is deviation whether little or big. Signs of fever shows deviation.

III John 1:2, KJV

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth".

"Amend" suggests a thing that passes phases before it gets to the desired or expected phase of correctness, completion or perfection. If a genotype is AS and one prays and amendment begins to take place, you'll observe at the end a deviation from the AS position known since all this while to a new and recent position of being AA.

For a thing to amend takes process but the process might not be noticed because it is supernaturally quickened. So, it would look as if it never took time to ameliorate in the first instance. There is a road to walk without compromise. Since the Lord gave me this revelation of "amend", I have told different situations to begin to amend. When they did, those things begin to change position gradually like a water that is drying up until it dries wholly. It just didn't dry once and for all. It passes through phases to finally get to the drought stage where you could say, " and it is no more!"

I'm anointed to minister to you. First of all, are you carrying sicknesses or any terminal illness in your body? I don't have time to mention them all but I'm declaring, "let your body, health and condition amend!" You will not cross over without the correctness being done and the wrong being made right by Jehovah. I declare that wherever you've been taken away from your original position, begin to amend until you attain that former utopia.

Naaman has leprosy but when he is prayed for, a testimony follows.

II Kings 5:14, KJV

"Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean".

Did you read that part that indicates recovery, restoration and amendment? Where it says, "and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean". "That coming again" though seems to have happened instantaneously actually passed through a process of amending before it reaches a place of utmost cleanness where no traces of leprosy could be identified.

I pray, the God of amendment is amending all the things that need to be in their perfect form as you've entered this month. I prophesy also that April shall amend. You shall know it to be a different month that answers to your words.

PRAYER: God of amendment, take me back to any original utopia deviated from. I amend in health, genotype, financial status, marital, spiritual conditions.

LISTEN TO HIM

READ Galatians 4:1-15

Matthew 17:5, AMP

"While he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud [[b]composed of light] overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is My Son, My Beloved, with Whom I am [and [c]have always been] delighted. Listen to Him!"

What A will do that will satisfy God's heart isn't what B will do. The specific act may differ. Only that what Christians does to satisfy God's heart and earn His approval generally falls under being obedient and taking heed. For someone like Abraham, he believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness. The specific act that would delight God and bring reward to you or me is what we don't know but let's in all our endeavours be obedient children.  When we have struck the deep of God's heart, we'll know we've done so because God Himself will raise dust and speak about it. It even shows in new promotions and approval. 

The first time a voice like the one above testified of Jesus being God's beloved was at Jesus' baptism. However, God didn't say "listen to Him". That tells you winning of heaven's recommendation is deemed fit by God and comes by and by. As it is occurring to my mind, it's as if God has a panel of divine host that checks with Himself if a Christian or minister has indeed satisfied His heart as to win His approval. Do you remember at creation, God the Father was not only the board member seated and doing it all? God the Son and Holy Spirit were around which reflects in the language used, "come, LET US create man in our own image..." Genesis 1:26.

When you have satisfied God's heart, He'll appear to decide whether you've pass your exams or not. Unless you're tried and you're found to have passed, your word don't come [Psalm 105:19].

"Listen to Him" that God the Father said places a higher degree of approval on Jesus. God is a careful God. He doesn't recommend a minister out in the hearing of others as one they should draw their demands on if the man has not been watched over the years to have a life that backs up what he professes. If he's not a doer of what God says and he preaches, God has no business showing him to the world as a beloved son or daughter that their gathering and obedience should be given to. Of Jesus, it has been afore said that people's gathering shall be unto Him.

Genesis 49:10, AMP

"The scepter or leadership shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh [the Messiah, the Peaceful One] comes to Whom it belongs, and to Him shall be the obedience of the people."

How it surprised me that when God wants to commend and compensate Jesus for being a beloved son, it was an instruction to "listen to Him" He gives out. It's a blessing when you're not refuted or rejected as a minister. Whenever a Christian is being refuted and rejected, he ought to find out whether he has first satisfied God's heart. Why did I say that? The Bible says, "when the ways of a man pleases God, He (God) makes even his enemy be at peace with him" [Proverbs 16:7]. So, all the remedy for acceptance is actually in pleasing God. If you can strive and seek to expend yourself to please this Father in heaven, if He turns to you, you'll be surprised at what He may reward you with especially if you're a minister. I guess it may be, "listen to him." After all the "you're my beloved son in whom I am well pleased", if " listen to him" don't follow, that beloved son is still like a heir who's but a child but who's under tutor and governor until the time appointed of the father for him comes. You break loose into the utmost and get trusted with the delivery of bread to others when "listen to him" follows "this is my beloved son". 

Those of you that have been longing to hear a voice like this or be promoted from one level to another by the delivering of a letter or news, it seems good to me to announce that your time has come. You will receive the good news and the joy shall be yours to rejoice in. 

PRAYER: Any letter of promotion I await, my word comes now in Jesus' name. May my life and living pleases you.

CATCHING IT YOUNG 

READ I Kings 3:16-28

I Kings 3:21, KJV

"And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear."

There's a Spirit that helps Christians catch it young. That's the Holy Ghost. As it happens fresh like this, they don't let it tarry but rather fish it out. Two prostitutes housed in the same house gave birth. To worsen their case when presented, no witness knew about all their narration. So, it became difficult fetching out the liar from the truth teller. One claimed the other laid on her own child who died but which she substituted for her own living child. All this drama happened when she was asleep and obviously really asleep. Motherhood stress had beaten her down to the sleep of death. Meanwhile, when she became conscious and had the opportunity to investigate the matter, she immediately found out that the dead child was not hers. She stood on her ground and with all conviction kept refusing the new result they had just shown her. It wasn't like this last night. It can't be like this this morning. This isn't mine!

This woman couldn't be begged. She had to appeal to the king. Staying her hands or doubting whether the dead child is hers or not was settled in a jiffy. A day didn't pass over it. One hour to her being awake to investigate didn't go over the matter. Immediately, she reprimanded the situation and at the end found justice when she retrieved her real child. 

Saint, you may be asleep in the night, you may be unconscious, you may be tired or bored and so taken advantage of. After waking, for how long will it take you to discern they've come to pack your goods and then replace it with the pseudo so you'll accept falsehood in place of truth and never come to the knowledge of the truth? This is why I love detectives, force members (intelligent officers) etc. If you enter their room and shift a thing from its position, at their return, they could fish out if that thing was turned or shifted. Their training made it possible. You too need a training to pick accurately. That woman picked the revelation that her child wasn't the dead one by considering him well in the morning light. Everything that is not yours which they've sold you, it is time to make an appeal to the king. It is time to refuse it all. We say NO to it today. I pray for you that nobody will be able to deceive you again. The Spirits (succubus and incubus) sleeping with you free of charge in your sleep will meet with a wall. That spirit will henceforth find you wise. Come to understanding. Regain your reason that the dead child isn't yours. Have the discovery that you have bastards amidst the children in your house yet under disguise that they're yours. See the fake for who he or she is. See the devil pretending to give prophecy in your congregation. At the snap of the fingers, let your memory of what you really possess come to you. Let the veil be torn. The padlock is open and the hook is corrupted.

PRAYER: I come to the knowledge of what is mine which is good and perfect gift while discerning same from pseudo possessions.
