CHILDREN OF ONE'S YOUTH

READ Psalm 124

Psalms 127:4, KJV

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

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

That place didn't read, " children of one's old age." So, if you're giving birth late when as a woman for instance, you should have closed all under 35 or 40, the result might face one. That's why that place says, "just like arrows are in a warrior's hand, so are children of one's youth." Why don't you ask why children of one's youth is likened to arrows in a warrior's hand? It takes a fellow who's also a youth - with strength, initiative, skill, aspiration etc to harness a growing child and shape such into what God would desire he becomes. Parents are moulders and if issues break forth into their arms when there is still capacity and interest of a youth for adequate training there, you'll see them bring a force into grooming such child into becoming one that could be sent on an errand of destiny without being afraid. If a man has a child at sixty, the man would be eighty by the time the child hits 20. Is it an eighty year old man that wants to train a complete child at that old age? You know youths. Despite the fact that many parents are youths also who are still relevant in the world of their children, these children wearies them and see them as far back and ancient. Now, is it an eighty year old man that would now do better? The old man might be too feeble curbing his youthful exuberance. He'll be tired and let him be. Yet, God doesn't want that. That's why that place read, "...so are children of one's youth."

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

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

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

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

WITH YOUR MIGHT

Ecclesiastes 9:10, KJV

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest".

"With all your might" is the phrase that should be unforgettable. It is your target and you have to make it count.Sometimes ago, a fellow said he was in meditation and he remembered his undergraduate days. He said he didn't regret what he came out with but he would have regretted it if it wasn't his best he gave to finally get what he came out with. Should you find out you could have done better, would you be happy with yourself? Obviously no. Many times at the time of duty, we'll get tired and say, "That's how far I could go. Whatsoever would happen, let it". May you not mean those words. These words are words that make people settle down and become an average man. These words hinder them from doing what their hands have found to do with their might. 

Do you know what it means to do "with all your might?. I'll give you an illustration. Imagine a fellow who a flood of water is to sweep away but has a tree by the bank to hold unto. How do you think he'll hold unto that tree as to be saved against this dangerous current? Do you think he'll have reserved energy somewhere that he won't use up once and for all to the saving of his life? That's what we're telling you to activate. Let the operations of your life be with all your might. At every time that a job, a task or duty would call, let it be your best shot you're giving to it and not chicken feed you're bringing to it. 

Are you a student? Study in such a way that your conscience can't crucify you later. If something didn't add up, let it be known to your inner of inner that the faults were not yours. You went all the way to make it happen but something was not adding up and that ain't your cause. Do you know why you have to begin to apply this principle to your life? Reasons were already given in that same verse but I won't focus on those. It's because you'll come to maturity and better understanding in the future and you'll  challenge, beat and question yourself as to why you couldn't have done better than what you now have at hand. This discovery may hit you when demand is being made for those who have done better. Such days do arise you know that'll bring you to the realization of the petty seeds you've sown which would cause you beat your chest and smite yourself. It may be if you had worked with all your might also, you could have set an example of excellence for your children and people around you to emulate but now you're being called to questioning and accountability. So that there won't be any reason for any regret, slam the pedal to the drum and go all out. 

Jehu drew the bow with all his strength. When it hits, it pierced to the other side. But mind you, he drew with all his strength first of all.  

II Kings 9:24, KJV

"And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot".

It is not all arrows that do pierce its victim inside out when shut especially if it is not drawn with full strength. However, Jehu intentionally drew this so that even if Jehoram escapes, the wound can't be nursed but rather eventually kill him. That's leaving a mark and he necessarily manufactured that shut to take him down. 

This task, job of yours etc that you're doing from a partial heart can't groom you and process you for a future you don't yet see. There is more that meet the eyes than what we see. To this end, I challenge you to go disrobe laziness off you and put on the garment of "with all your might" and give all your energy, will power in its concentration to achieve. This is when you can be first amidst many. 

PRAYER: May I make this resolution and not turn back. Grant me the will power.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

A TIME TO REMEMBER

Proverbs 12:1, KJV

“Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them.”

O children of men, may you remember when you should remember. Some remembrance may not be able to turn anything by the time it dawns on man. So, I’m not praying for you that you will have late remembrance. Late remembrance always comes after a loss and with sighs and mouthfuls of regrets. I’m praying that you will remember now: when God wants you remember and not when your life will have been spent and almost used on what doesn’t count.

You see, when a man remembers when he should remember, his soul is saved and his life is saved. Those two things don’t happen to everybody. Imagine a 62 year old man that is just giving his life to Christ and a 7 year old boy doing the same. That old man has a saved soul but the larger percentage of his life has been wasted in so many crooked things outside the will of God. He has done assignments that God didn’t commission and author he should do in life. Meanwhile, the young boy has both a saved soul and a saved life. He has years in front of himself that God can teach him what to do with it and how to live within it. If he hearkens to the whole counsel of God, he can’t be trapped in the things that wastes one’s time and makes mockery of one’s years. He will live a pruned life as if he were born naturally to live that because the word of the Lord and God’s fear will naturally be his caution. He could find out what the will of God for him is on earth and use his saved soul, renewed mind and regenerated spirit to do it. The years he has left to plough the earth and discharge God’s will to the maximum of his strength is still long. 

Compare that with the old man who only has a saved soul without much left to do. As a matter of fact, at sixty two, one has started losing interest in so many things with a lot of depreciation having sets in. One is thinking of retiring from active service with attention on grandchildren or some petty matters. Why get born again around such time when you can start your morning at 6:00am, why do you want to start yours at 12:00pm of the same day? Why not choose a time that will give you a handful of period to do and do what you will have to do. Why start operation in deficit with an unnecessary sense of urgency to catch up with time? Life in Jesus truly imposes restrictions on whosoever accepts Him; meanwhile, this boundary is what enhances a life without confusion and crookedness. You can’t embrace those restrictions and be the kind that will die untimely. Why? Your restrictions will have curtailed misbehaviours that can open you to early death and lot more of packages with which the devil gifts those he finds outside God’s drawn line. 

More so, look at what the best of men have turned into. The fate of man seems not different from that of animals at the sight of this world pandemic. Is that not another cause to remember that God is worthy of your being contacted and seriously known at this time? Everything is ticking and racing towards eternity and a time that the silver cord of time will break giving way to everlasting to everlasting.  This is a time to remember. It is a privilege God is giving to you to repent and meet the sweet Saviour of your soul. He died to see you saved. He has waited long enough. Let today be the end of His waiting for you. A time like this may not freely come your way even if you seek it with tears and utmost desire next time especially if the curtain of time has been drawn. An opportunity at your front now without price is worthy and can save you from eternal agony in a place that inconvenience any who enters there.

PRAYER: The God of time and eternity: who planted eternity deep down in me that nothing else can satisfy but You, hint me of what time is it that I have entered into with a heeding of such time’s call. May I understand times walking circumspectly.

THE UNCERTAIN JOURNEY

READ Gen.28:16-22

Genesis 28:20-21, KJV

"20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:"

New phases because they are unknown always terrify us. The journey into the unknown can make a fool of anyone. We'll wonder if we are up to the task. This is Jacob on the way to Padanaram where Isaac admonished he goes to marry. He is uncertain about his journey but he fully trusting in God that can keep all of humanity made requests in a vow on what he wants accomplished. We all have expectations on our journeys and it is our delight that each step we take brings us to them. "How I wish you make me this or that?"

Don't think you're different or you could have performed better. Humans have a gulf in them that only eternity can satisfy. That's why they'll one way or the other turn to that God at critical moment even if they had not known Him (Jonah 1:6). The fact that there exists a cause behind all causes is being established here. In your day of shaking, when it seems things are unclear, the day of labour or uncertainty, you might cry to the One who saves, to the One unto whom all flesh comes. There's nothing like, "why is much being ascribed to God?" Why not another god or fellow? There are those ascribing it to other gods or goddesses. However, when you're really cornered, lacking in brain as to what to do, when your wisdom has become foolishness and all you've trusted in aren't working, even if you had not believed in God before, you'll look upstairs and say in heavy sighing, "if there be a God up there, do hear me." Then, you'll tender your requests because He is the One we have all found to send requests to in our days of shaking.

Hebrews 5:7, KJV

"Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared."

That day shall come, it shall not tarry when your needs shall make you cry to God. That's why Paul said, "it is in him we move, live and take our being." He encompasses us. Our lives are roundabout round Him. This same statement made by Paul was also affirmed by some secular poets who had discovered the place of God in the community and life of humans when they said, "we are his offsprings" - issues from Him who should consequently look at Him (Acts 17:28).

Jacob was pinned. This is a journey he has not taken before. It is like entering the airplane for the first time to take a journey to a strange land where you'll meet people of strange tongues. While you're happy gaining admission overseas or for the relocation, yet you have fear partly in your soul because you don't know what might happen to you in that land. If the place you're even going is notorious for some evils, your fear might double. This is the same fear with which we have transited into new levels in our lives. This fear do come back on a new job or task but as we spend time there, we tend to become masters at it and forget the days when we fidgeted mastering the field or ask whether we shall amount in it all. At such time of humble beginning, you might be prompted to seek the commitment of God to you. Mind you, not that God has not been available but human mind is easily deceived that God is far and our mind believes until some measures are put in place for assurance (of course which is needed at the lack of assurance), God is not with us. We always want to have the assurance that I have possessed God. He is for me and is for me only. He is with me and I'm sure of it. That's why Jacob vowed. He wants to fulfill all requirements and carry God along. His conscience requested that and he gave it. Afterwards, he is satisfied of God's accompaniment.

Saint, are you in an uncertain moment of life? Has that labour exceeded 24 hours? Are you scared of the future like Jacob? Are you contemplating if all you've seen revealed in your soul will come to pass? Are you doubting if you can become a known face? God is more than able to do all these. Jacob requested of him bread, raiment and safety back to his father's house and He did it. He not only did, he made him return double (Gen.32:10). This is he who had crossed to Padanaram only with his staff. God is saying by the time you'll return to recount your life or tell your story, by the time you look back at the days of your youth (of course at old age or as you grow), you'll have reasons to give ME thanks. "I am the God that answers desires or inner breathings, thoughts, speeches and acts of men."

PRAYER: God, may your commitment ever be with me. May I have a testimony of having fulfilled destiny when I shall recount my story. You see my inner cravings and groaning, make them realities.

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.

A CURSE AND WHAT IT DOES

Read Numbers 22:1-10

Numbers 22:6, KJV

"Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed".

That's wise Balak seeking the service of reputed Balaam to come curse Israel for him. Why should another wake to the destruction of another? As it is here, Israel is Moab's threat and Balak, the King of Moab would see to it that Israel is taken out so it doesn't conquer her like it conquered other reported nations for which Moab fear. 

What is a curse? It's a working unseen but which can manifest that becomes an entity - a demon for instance to rule in the affairs of the cursed. Balak couldn't naturally fight and conquer Israel because some nations have tried and failed. On that experimentation, and having heard of the supernatural victories of Israel, he also requested for a supernatural help that might help him subdue them. Why did he request Israel to be cursed? Because Israel is too powerful for him. Begin to think of someone you want to give a knock on the head but who is far taller than you. You need to reach his head and administer the knock but the odds are against you. He's taller than you while naturally you are shorter. You either need high heels to correspond or outgrow his height or you need him to stoop before you see his head available for such knock. Such was the case Balak and his nation fell into. By divine ordination and the sovereignty of God's covenant and blessings working with Israel, no nation could have them fought naturally like that and get them defeated. Having seen this to be true, Balak opted for a way of reducing them to a place of being won. Do you now understand what a curse does? A curse reduces what is tall to what becomes short. It is a curse that makes the invincible to become the vulnerable. Israel is invincible but in the situation room, Balak had gathered that after being cursed, Israel might not be so invincible. The likelihood and chances that she's conquerable would then be opened.

If you're blessed, you don't know what it means until the enemy tries you and they encounter a blockade. That blockade is what every wise enemy always want to remove. Until the removal of that shield of yours, you can't just be touched. Blessing places a "touch not" on you. We have properties that are protected by several things written on them. You'll read a thing like, "Don't enter here. Government's order etc". That simple statement protects that place from being a walkway of men.

A curse brings to a place of vulnerability where the strong becomes the weak and could therefore be handled and the will of the enemy carried out on him. Consider Samson, he was invincible until his source of strength was revealed. After then, he became vulnerable. His two eyes were gorged out and then made a grinder and clown for jests making. Imagine how lowly the strong could become. That secret Samson gave away made him the cursed. That's the purpose of anyone cursing you. It's to subdue you so that anything, anyone and even the least of life situation that others are shelling and defeating could defeat you notoriously. It's then you'll ask, "Why is mine hard? Why can't I do naturally what others are doing and achieving?" Behold, it is a curse. Today, I pray that you won't be weakened. Anything that has weakened you, you recover from such in Jesus name. Even behind you, may Jesus Christ advocate for you not to be cursed. May it be only said of you that, "You're blessed." I break the yoke of curses and the rod of it under which you've been subdued to servitude. 

PRAYER: I refuse to be shrunk. Anything or word of man seeking to create a vulnerability in me to be conquered, I rebuke you.

THOSE WHO SAY OF THEMSELVES THEY'RE BUT A YOUTH

Read Jeremiah 1:1-8

Jeremiah 1:5-6, AMP

"5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations 6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am only a youth".

Mindset is very powerful. If people regard you as the head but you persuasively convincingly believes yourself to be the tail, you'll manifest the 'tail'. Whenever God encounters people and calls them as tools to use, one of the first things He does is to make them see they're capable or reinforce same believe in them. That angel told Gideon, "The Lord is with you thou mighty man of valour". Gideon himself was not seeing any fight or warrior spirit in himself. He questions whether God was indeed with them [Judges 6:12-16]. O, how I pray that God will give you those who will show you who you're really are until your perspective is changed when doubt arises in you. Your circumstance, background, past life isn't as important as the  demand on your life and what by calling you are. If God comes to you for use, it means you're usable. Don't reject yourself. While in secondary school, I was called upon to replace a senior graduating student who did chanting and eulogy every year at our graduation ceremony. People would applaud him and spray him money. The Yoruba language teacher knew I could do it. I knew I could do it also because it's a thing I had done in the closet. I was given the material to memorise for the chant but deep down in me, I knew I won't take it. What trick did I pulled out? On the D-day, I didn't go to school. That's how I disappointed them but I didn't do it intentionally. I did it out of fear and non acknowledgment of myself as the one who should do it. I was the Labour Prefect but I was thinking, "why not the Head Boy?" At that time, I suffered a lot of inferiorly complex. I did't even want to be seen. The discovery of my purpose destroyed the yoke. Now, I'm not afraid of taking up assignments. I do and discharge same in boldness. When I preach, it is strong and in boldness. I'm no longer bound by inferiority complex. I'm called and anointed. I'm the chosen. If not me, who else? That's my confidence. So, I radiate it. 

Did you hear what Jeremiah told the Lord? I'm but a youth. Did God call him a youth? Did that One not tell him that his calling predates his formation in the womb? God was saying all these to assure and set him to come to a place of believability in himself. Do you know how many talented, gifted, called, chosen, well favoured people are acting contrarily today? Do you know why? They're seeing themselves lesser than who they really are and what God has really called them. Why are people too conscious of their problems? Why are they swallowed by the thoughts that only some people are glorious vessels but others must be hidden! 

Look, if God is striving to change how you should see yourself and you refuse, you won't be used. God may want to but it won't still work. A poor mindset can't reflect a correct manifestation. Even if you say your God is big but your mindset is poor, you'll downgrade God to a small God. Change your mindset; believe in yourself. You're not too young to be used. Forget about all those disqualifications you are mentioning. There are highway robbers, kidnappers, terrorists, suicide bombers who are just teens. So, what makes you a child that can't do the job? Accept the offer and God will equip you to make up for your real or unreal inadequacies.

PRAYER: [Touch your Bible and say] - This is my Bible and I believe it. I am what it says I am and I can do what it says I can do.
