WHEN NO MAN CAN WORK - Heart of Wisdom Series 011

John 9:4, KJV

"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."

Jesus is indeed a revealing and emphatic teacher. He knew that "at night" no man can work. There's no remedy to it. At night, you're useless because night makes you useless. At old age, it is only little you can do. That's even before death, the ultimate night comes. You'll lack strength to move from your bedroom to the bathroom in the same jurisdiction. Your hands may be shaking. Spoon may not stay in your hands. You'll need another to help you rise or walk because uninvited weaknesses or sicknesses might begin to appear. Is this the time you want to establish that enterprise? Is this the time you want to take your vision to all continents and reach men through all possible means? Is it at this time of no pleasure you want to do high things? Stop waiting to learn the consequences of being slow to put your youthfulness to work. Even in the natural, we know God has not created the night for work though we might transgress there for good reasons. There's a natural or cosmos law God put there which makes humans obey the natural night. Though man has power of choice to obey sleep or not (which comes very much easily at night), yet he knows the designated period God has given him to lay down before he goes to his work in the day is this night time (a period in the day). 

Psalms 104:23, KJV

"Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening."

Until the what? If he goes to his work until the evening, what do you think he comes back to do in the evening? To rest! What I'm hearing is that, "the night comes when no man can work." Those men may desire working. They may have it laid in their hearts to do great things for Jehovah but nature and the laws of cosmos will fizzle them out and weed them away. This is a warning to those who are slowing down themselves by living in sin and heeding all forms of distraction. If the night (which begins at old age naturally) catches up with you, even if you have desire and plans that can raise a tower to the sky, they can never be implemented by you. How painful it is then when where God could have used one, it is another he has found for use?  Did you not hear Solomon speak? He said the grave whither you go, there's neither work, device or knowledge there? Night was not created for work but sleep. Darkness symbolizes and heralds night time while the light signifies the breaking of the day. The appearance of darkness should communicate something to you. When we sleep, we close our eyes. That's how our eyes shall be finally closed in death. You can't say I have an idea in that realm. Earth is where we test the practicality of anything, build invention and affect our world and for same get recognition. In the realm of the dead, it is stillness forever. The night hurries. It comes. You near it and it nears you. Unfortunately, night is a slave master and enforcer of one principle. "No work!" Night has enough potency: known and unknown that weakens and disqualifies any man: male or female from setting his heart to doing anything he may see worthy to do. Before night makes nonsense of you, make nonsense of it with all revenge and daily utilization of your time. Achieve in these few years you have to live and be willing and sweetened at heart to meet your Saviour at appearance.

PRAYER: I fall on night before it falls on me. I receive wisdom to beat the potency of night.

RACE AGAINST THE DYING OF THE LIGHT - Heart of Wisdom Series 010

John 9:4, KJV

"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work."

Our race is against the "night" that comes. I want you to really understand the Master and His speech here. He said, "for night comes when no man can work." He spoke with such emphasis and gravity that even the fool amidst men will get. Night has not come He said but it will come. It is even hurrying. It comes like a legion of soldiers whose feet causes a great earthquake. Don't rejoice it is far away. Be sober and make life count. That's why there are sayings like, "time's winged chariot", "how quick does time flies etc." The distance between where you are now and where you'll one day be (the grave) is the space or allowance you have to live and do the works of Him that sent you. God intentionally spares you that time. Out of it, we work, pleasure, marry, raise children and do all they were doing in Noah's time.

Have you heard of rain stopping people before, especially those that were warned to set out early so they'll reach before being interrupted by it? That's neglect on their part and they'll pay for it. In same way, Jesus was saying, night is coming. That's sure. That's why we have to live like there's no tomorrow now. We can't sleep that thought away. We may despise it but at its time on each person, it will find fulfilment. The "night time" of individuals on earth differs. When A will pass away is not when B will go. Even, out of the two couples, it is usually one who will first depart. Moses knew this truth. That's why under divine inspiration, he said, "our years is 70 and if by reason of strength 80." Ask yourself, when will my 80 come? That doesn't mean you can't exceed 80 years of age. Moses while speaking talked to set the end of usefulness. Anyone at 80 even if he's still living actively is a retired human being somehow and indeed he should begin to make preparation to meet his Lord. There's nothing you can do to it. He's already at his decline and termination nears. It is a law and set of system operating itself. You can't chance it but it can chance you. Aging is a reality even if any dies naturally. Death or this "night" chances people when they die young. So, learn all things that will make you fulfill the number of your days and then live by same. It includes not living contrarily to your body/ human sustenance, understanding your environment and not breaking its laws, living by faith, God's will, God's promises which can't be broken etc. Abiding by all these can elongate your "night time." It doesn't mean you won't die but you'll rather fulfill the number of your days. By the time you finalize your aging period, what is next is death, even natural death. We all know we arrive this earth by birth and must exit by death. It is not a return to childhood. It is a setting to rest at your final house. So, that truth is a secured truth. Night comes and you ought understand that. Night don't take a damn and it won't pity anyone. That's why we have this written in the Bible also.

Job 2:4, KJV

"And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life."

That verse confirms "night" to always appear. Man could give all he has to stay alive indeed. Life is precious and we're only privileged having it. That breath in us isn't ours. It is God's and He do take His thing when it's ripe (Gen.2:7). We've heard of those who sold all their properties to hold this night from being fulfilled on them. The woman with the issue of blood did it in the Bible. She came to penury to keep living. She does because if there's still life, there's still hope. However, once that "night is fully come", it can't be evaded. So, I'll say, "that verse only applies to temporarily holding of death." Man must return to dust from which he was taken (Gen.3:19). Dust is he and to dust he must return. Let that into you sink and in temperance and urgent urgency live your life. Affect lives and don't hoard your wealth for yourself only. Share to this and that. Cast your bread upon the waters and after many days, you'll find them. It is what any dead has done that will speak for him afterwards. Their deeds always follow them. Live remarkably and purposefully so that your voice will speak still like righteous Abel's even at rest. Death isn't the end of impact making. It may be the beginning for some. If Abel still speaks at his death, you can live on still speaking (impacting or having effect) even after dying.

PRAYER: Sensitize me to areas of adjustment and improvement for quickening and better functioning as night hurries.

BECAUSE NIGHT COMES - Heart of Wisdom Series 009

Read John 9:1-9

John 9:4-5, KJV

"4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

I hope you know we don't have all day here. We will transit. We can't but pass to glory. This tabernacle of flesh will give way. Why we even call it "body" is because it is merely our house where the spirit, the hidden man of the heart indwells (I Pet.3:4). We've tarried on Psalm 90:12 specifically for these 8 days and we shall make further references to it. Jesus was confronted with the healing of a blind man from birth. After answering the question that confused his disciples, he proceeded to saying, "He must work the works of He that sent Him..." Did he stop there or indeed manifest the work of He that sent Him which he had afore referred to? Immediately, Jesus who knew His time was not as long as the tongue spits on the ground, makes clay and anoints the eyes of this blind with it. Then, He instructed him to go bathe in the pool of Siloam. He was healed!Jesus isn't a mere confessor. He is a doer. Realization has first of all dawned on Him. He knew He won't last for eternity and that He only have a short time for ministry to the children of men on earth. So, He never delays or postpones what is His appointed work dealt Him by the Father. Rather, after such confession of Himself as the light of the world, He makes preparation to heal the man. He has been equipped. He didn't waste equipping.

Have you gained a heart of wisdom like this or you're still beating the streets lamely and irrelevantly around? Jesus knew the season that's always upon Him. He said it and you saw His determination towards achieving what He has discovered to be true. If Jesus we respected said something, it should worth noting. He said, He  must do the works of He that sent Him while it is day because night comes. Something is inevitable. It is the night falling. It is the night shadowing and falling on you in particular. You'll then be trapped because you won't be able to further any work or device or knowledge again on this earth. The revelation is always, "the grave where you go (Eccl.9:10)." You draw nearer to it daily. It is your final destination and it's in front of you. You and I will one day get in. 

How many people are still veiled? Where are those that urgency of assignment has not yet gripped? I'll say, you can't but waste away. You'll not only waste away but waste men away. How? The divine ingredient given you to make impact amidst men won't be used at all. So, where you could have been felt, you'll just pass away like that like a snake that slithers on a rock without trace. Then, God will then allocate those who awaited your revelation and then manifestation to another so they won't be unfortunate and irrelevant on the earth (not finding their own purpose) because you've failed God and them. Be like your Master, Jesus who couldn't delay healing that man at the time He found him. His saying was, "look, I'm totally consumed, feeling compassionate towards healing this man. I must work the works of He that sent me. Why delay what I have to do since I don't have all day." That's the Word who was with the Father at the beginning speaking that way. Despite that, He acknowledges His being a human. If it were not so, He won't be hurrying against time. Let low of the truth that Jesus carried the anointing without measure. The day He was born is the day His time started counting. The fact that He'll die at thirty three plus started hurrying from that day onward and He knew it and so made good use of that knowledge. The knowledge some fear having at hand is what others uses to further themselves. This is why he admonished himself not to waste time but to be set to work. His admonishing himself before His disciples also mean they should model their lives after His. If you're a disciple of Christ indeed, you won't deny time is running against you and you won't deny setting right away to work and do with all your might, intelligence, resources, device what your hand has found to do. If the Master modelled it to us, we must do same and model same to men. (I Cor 11:1).

PRAYER: We have a perfect mentor in Jesus. May I do His works. May what gripped Him become my revelation to live out God's will in my soul.

A PREACHER FROM THE DEAD IS PREFERABLE - Heart of Wisdom Series 008

READ Luke 16:19-31

Luke 16:27-29, KJV

"27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them."

Yesterday, we saw that the prayer of Moses, "teach us to number our days..." which obviously was an address to God finds fulfilment through God finding preachers who could reveal the urgency and graveness with which man ought to do his work on earth due to his brevity of life which he needs to discover. Today's teaching reemphasizes that. God won't come from heaven to teach man like that. He'll rather oracle this truth and cause this revelation dawn on man by partnering with some called and taught men on earth. In today's passage, a debate of no mean importance ensues between a certain rich man and Father Abraham. He is thirsty (being in hell) and would want Father Abraham send Lazarus (who was in his bosom) to quench his thirst by just a dip of his finger tip into water. What value would that be to him? Nothing. He made that humble request because he had lost all sense of entitlement. So, he couldn't decree big in boldness. When people sin or are in any fallen state, they lose their right and act this way like a slave. If a partner commits adultery and the other gets to know, the same principle goes into play. They lose sense of entitlement even if they're no longer condemned or judged by the other. Until they could see themselves in the right image and as co-owner and possessor of things of the other, they'll continue to act as an outcast to acknowledge their status of having fallen from grace, favour or love. This is why you should avoid being tainted by sin as much as it lies with you. Run from all its appearances if you don't want to lose sense of entitlement, boldness or right. 

Father Abraham wouldn't send Lazarus and he argued why he won't. He gave two points to counter this rich man's request (Luke 16:25-26). What a debate! Seeing Abraham's position on the inability of dwellers from each sides crossing to either of the sides, he saw the vanity of having his request granted and pressed on Abraham another request. Being already doomed, he switched his attention and began caring for the living though dead. He advocated that Lazarus be sent to go witness to his five brethren living on earth. Abraham didn't grant this again. He refuted him and had his request discarded by saying, "they have Moses and the prophets on the earth" to instruct them. The rich man still not pleased pressed further that the testimony of someone from a supernatural or fearful realm like "of the dead" would be extraordinary, esteemed and persuading enough to be believed. Father Abraham said they won't believe the testimony from the dead if they can't believe the law and the prophets with them. That's how Father Abraham won all the cases which the rich man opened. God is just. He'll always give us a fear hearing and explanation that can't be debated any longer.

The point is this. Preachers were not send to earth from this place (Abraham's bosom), neither will they be sent to earth from heaven now. God is saying, "your teachers are with you." That man pressed for it but it always met with a stiff refusal. Father Abraham kept telling him they've been provided for and the provision is on earth already and not any where else. Don't be shocked, what many are looking for from the far distance is actually by their side but familiarity is blinding them to taking it. We men have falsely trained ourselves to believe in the super taste. We would ask, "can it take me further, give me a feeling that's beyond this world, launch me into a craze that's different?" That's how some became addicted today because they were chasing to catch feelings even to its highest level on the long run. Yet, an illusion. This craving for  what is but already there make men unnecessary thirsty of something from a world beyond even when God Himself has granted them that by placing it with them or amidst them. To long for the divine or the supernatural is part of our core. There's a gulf that only Eternity can satisfy. The Bible is there to have such wonder or truth revealed to you today. The Holy Spirit will give you its explanation as you read it. However, the preachers in all their offices are called and caused by God to bring revelation of this same written word on us all. So, we listen to them and hear God speak through them. God has not left us without witness. Did He not speak that He'll raise a prophet for his people from amidst them and He did (Acts 3:22). What I'm emphasizing on is that the prayer of Moses, "teach us to number our days..." has been answered and will be answered continually by God giving men to teach the truth that will bring such understanding and possession of a heart of wisdom on them. This is the dealing of God - that He raises mortal men to have released through them the will of the Immortal. The question should be, "how well have you been listening to what the Bible and those oracles of God teaches to be true in the will of God?" I hear, "your preachers are with you." If you won't be persuaded to receive the truth of the gospel through them, you won't still be persuaded if there's a supernatural rising or send forth from God. You can't but remain a waster, despiser, neglect and rebel to all divine inputs sent to salvage and save your soul. 

PRAYER: Lord, grant me estimation for your Word and ministers. I won't be a despiser of holy things.

GOD HAS FOUND A MOUTH TO SPEAK THROUGH - Heart of Wisdom Series 007

Read John 9:1-7

Psalms 90:12, KJV

"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

The prayer of Moses was that God would teach the generation judged and soon to pass away that they might get a heart of wisdom. A heart of wisdom is one that has already been instructed or taught. It is a ready made heart indwelling man. In temperance of living, it is tempered while bearing eternity in mind. This manifests in what life of focus, purpose and dedication he lives daily. He has sieved himself away from what doesn't profit and only lives for one thing - "why am I here on earth?" Meanwhile, will God come down from above to begin to teach all men that are living life outside the revelations of death's inevitability and brevity of life to change in order to reroute them? No! He won't because such task is already given to men amidst men. Moses cried to God, "teach us to number our days..." God does that through His messengers. They're designated for same.

Romans 10:14, KJV

"14 ...and how shall they hear without a preacher?"

Preachers or teachers have been raised and equipped to teach all God's counsel. This includes not withholding from their congregation the ever stable fact that death is the end of all things and that that death might come even sooner than they think. They have victory over death though and it isn't a thing to fear but that fact should make them gird themselves with utilizing their short life here. If you ask any man, I don't think there's any who will naturally embrace death when the earth is treating him well. That's why many evades thinking about death but say, "it doesn't matter since I can't but one day  die eventually." So, they neglect the place of living with focus which comes by having the revelation of life being temporal on the earth. They however are numbered amidst those who scatter their forces, strength and ability and so couldn't be recognized for having achieved something in particular in this life. They chased too many things - of which many were distractions but of which one is their calling (which should have been the one thing they should have done) just like Paul said, "this one thing I do..." Paul also said to a congregation that he has not withdrawn from them God's whole counsel.

Acts 20:26-27, KJV

"26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God."

There are ministers now who select what to teach people and neglect others which are also fit for edification or setting right. Teach all is what we're admonished whether it is bitter to swallow or not. You must also know that your office is a special privilege. They can't hear if you won't preach or teach. God called and anointed you to teach all these things with the authority and strength of the called He has given you. Your office as a minister was given you by the Lord Jesus Christ who gave gifts to men and set men in their different offices for the perfecting of the saints (Ephesians 4:8-14). So, don't waver but teach them God's whole counsel which includes this one I'm on. You didn't call yourself. God did and it is He you'll also have to do with one day. So, rejoice in your calling as one called to teach men what God would want them know for respectful living on earth. Don't forget, time is running. We must therefore do the works of He that sent all of us while it is day because night comes when no man shall work no longer. If night (the day of death) is never sure, we could then recline a million years doing nothing with our might as we should do. As long as we are on this earth, we should choose to be the light of the world. We can't choose to be darkness because Jesus was not. He was the light of the world and conscience of it. We don't have much time for experimentation. This truth on right living or what is most suitable to abide by has been proven and given us. If we had a million years to live, then we could choose to be darkness for awhile before coming back to live with commitment as light - one who shows others the path to follow in Christ and lives out the coding on purpose left in his soul at creation. Today, God is saying, my teaching you how to number your days is not something you'll have to come to heaven for or get transported in a trance before you're instructed about it, the words are with my preachers - even the word of truth. Those preachers luckily are on earth. They're the ones I will move on and through to bring you timely messages by which you'll get a heart of wisdom on how to live life like he who has been slated not to see tomorrow. Preachers, preach it!

SCIENCE IN THE MATHEMATICS OF YEAR NUMBERING - Heart of Wisdom Series 006

READ John 4:31-38

Psalms 90:12, KJV

"So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

Discovery is useless without application. Application is what utilises discovery. Until application, you'll only wish results, it won't jump on you. Application rather births results, even types that many and those who won't abide by the law of application will still like to see. Moses in the view of how Israel (that generation will soon begin to fall down dead one by one ) said, "teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom." "Teaching" is God's duty to man. As I write now, I'm teaching you as an anointed so that you'll learn the inevitability of death even if you're young and so double up. I am God sent to cause realization to hit you. The revelation of that teaching that we're but mere mortals who will soon fleet away even if we'd spend a million years on earth must therefore dawn on us. We are nothing but a breath. A syllable that's pronounced at one puff of air. "Getting a heart of wisdom", however is ours to do. The discovery which comes from God showing you how your years are but fleeting will teach you sitting right, doing with all your might any thing your hand has found to do and going full length in the little while you have to live. No room for distraction or decentralization of focus. God will teach you through His preachers and those with this insight. After discovery of learning the danger of inevitability of death, continuing in sin, giving of your strength to women or frivolous things of life, you'll need to become born again and start living anew. You must let discovery have its effect on you or else, teaching you and the knowledge from such teaching would have been wasted. 

In science, after following a particular process or step after step, they'll come to a discovery or a finding. Their findings are then used. That's application. That's why I titled this devotional "The Science of Application in the Mathematics of Year Numbering. "Applying" or "the effecting" of your discovery on yourself is what makes the process scientific. You discover how momentary life is, then you seek means to get the best out of life. It is process by process: one leading to the other. "Getting a heart of wisdom" there is not only receiving. It is putting down structures to ensure the revelation of not living a wasted life is actually ensured. It is to take action after discovery. So, it is a task to daily live out. There's no one who gets a heart of wisdom that goes to sleep. Like the Psalmist says, even if he has no man to put him in awareness of the proper ways to live, his reins will instruct him even in the night. 

Psalms 16:7, KJV

"I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons."

You'll see him while a youth therefore achieve what only the aged could have accumulated or garnered by experience (but because he has been taught or has received counsel and has come to the discovery of how to live). He will be doing things by revelation which comes from having been secretly instructed. By the time he's becoming an aged himself, he has achieved already and would even be in a strait whether to leave to be with the Lord or stay. Just like God showed me, once the meat for which you're here on earth is done, you may leave. That's why Jesus said, "my meat is to do the will of He that sent me and to finish it (John 4:34). That's what he who has gotten a heart of wisdom only does. He focuses on his assignment or life's task and does away with all other chaffs and distractions in our world. While the disciples were busying themselves with physical meat or food, Jesus busied himself with harvesting of souls. He kept thinking and taking thought for that Samaritan woman and other souls beyond her. He was lost in the higher will even at the availability of food that comforts a weary soul (for we were earlier told that Jesus was wearied). 

A heart of wisdom deals with action. Living in the now and utilizing it fully. That's why Jesus told His disciples, you said the harvest is four months time, behold the field is white (John 4:35). If that be, what's the white or ready harvest calling for? Today, show seriousness of application having learnt it is not the hearer that's blessed but the doers.

PRAYER: May this revelation of the inevitability of death cause a u-turn into spending my minutes to the fullest by giving all to God and humanity.

WE NEED THE TEACHING OF GOD - Heart of Wisdom Series 005

Psalms 90:11-12,KJV

"11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

We have been dealing with the mathematics of year numbering which consequent the gaining a heart of wisdom. It is that heart of wisdom that will now make you have eternity in mind while knowing you're only indwelling flesh momentarily. This will call for swift responsibility on the earth. So much more that your lifetime would have been used to live a purposeful life. Knowing you don't have all days, you'll have written books both by inspiration and effort. You'll have made scientific discoveries and also pour yourself into other men while advocating for a temperate use of all privileges on the earth. All these are revelations that settle on your heart of heart because you've discovered that man that is born of woman is of few days. 

When Moses prayed in that verse, his objective was that God would teach Israel (those deemed to die within the time frame of 40 years of journeying to Canaan) and know their death day has been fixed how to now use or live their lives. The word waiting to be fulfilled on this people is like the one issued to King Belshazzar here: 

Daniel 5:26, KJV

"This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it."

Their days have been numbered and it's to be brought to an end. This is where this teaching gets interesting.  For the murmuring generation, God said they won't see Canaan. So, He wore them all out within those 40 years time frame. All these people knew their fate. They've received God's judgement and not much that could be done to change that. Knowing this, Moses prayed that God would teach all this generation the numbering of their days. Currently as I speak, there are those with report of terminal diseases. They even know when they might die. They're not different from those awaiting execution in jail. Now, if there's somebody with the awareness of such time he has left to live and the one he doesn't have to live, what will you advise him to do? Will you say he starts drinking himself to stupor or you'll teach him the judicious use of the leftover? That's the case of any whose death's day has been fixed. These people (the judged Israelites) would still have lived in the ignorance of the years left for them unless they're taught. God must ensure the fact that they don't have much years to spare again irrespective of their age at the time of the prediction gets their attention. It must be so clear that they'll live today as if tomorrow won't be seen for sure. Unless you're taught the mathematics of your years or its numbering, you won't come to any discovery of earth being a temporal abode, man's years being fleeting or another destination hurrying. This matter was not taken with levity by Moses. He prayed, sought and begged God to actually set a remembrance, by making them not forget that their  life shall be cut short at the progress of the predicted 40 years. If this is understood and its revelation distilled and serenaded into each of them, they'll be tempered to only live for what is worthy to be lived for. They'll have fun when they should, order their children where they should go and put up a memorial for themselves. 

Man can't cause you into the revelation of having a heart of wisdom. It takes God for us to know in reality what fate soon befalls he who has been scheduled to die. If he knows so, he does what men who have not been caused to see their future won't do. He'll be full of action - practicing and seeking to accomplish more and the most of each passing time. Having such heart of wisdom, a sense of urgency doesn't come cheaply, God must confront us with it. I pray that the burden of this will weigh on your heart. Like lead do sink the drag net, it will sink you into meditation for correctional living until you brace up to take much from each of the day you have left to live. 

PRAYER: Teach me responsibility with each passing day.
