THE RELUCTANCE OF MEN MAY COST US

I Samuel 17:16, KJV

"And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days."

We must be discerning. Lack of discernment might hinder us from moving when God moves. Goliath for forty days taunted and tormented the army of the Lord. Does the Lord intend it lasts this long when He knew who He'll use to secure victory for Israel already. There's nothing God wants to do on earth that He doesn't need a body for. That's why partnering with human beings have become a very important thing. That's why yielding as well has become an important thing. Unless you yield, some things might still be fallowed and left undone. 

Israel awaited their ambassador in David for forty days. The challenge went on unopposed while Goliath would come out to shiver them daily with, "are you not servants of Saul and I a Philistine? Choose yourself a man that we may fight." God has appointed a deliverer for Israel and like chess playing, He intends he moves to the battle where the next scene awaits him but a human was failing. Jesse was failing. Jesse didn't discover sending David to the battle to go deliver cheeses to his brothers until after the fortieth day of torment. The problems, challenges etc in your life which you've been praying to God over, does God intends it lasts this long before it's taken away? No! A human might be failing God. God might have spoken to someone to come to your aid financially while disobedience and reluctance is causing delay. There are moments when God comes to people as the first choice while their reluctance makes God choose another vessel for use. Katherine Kuhlman had said she was not the first person God visited with the healing anointing. God went to someone first who was unable to yield before the anointing sought another out to use. It becomes of us today to be sensitive and discerning to what God is doing in the now so that we might always be found in the present with Him. 

The sending of David to the battle field by Jesse was only a disguise by God. God wanted David there and He wouldn't come down from heaven to drag him there. David was a man under authority. God therefore had to nudge and stir a heart to take a step that would benefit Israel and begin to lead David on the road of his journey. If you're slow in discerning, you'll do much harm to what God wanted do. A sinner will destroy much good the Bible says. If God has been witnessing to you to speak with someone and you've been shrugging it off, you may elongate and make more space for such sinner to impregnate, murder, abort another and go on another robbery operation where he'll be caught and later executed. God might have wanted to spare his life but reluctance and unwillingness from you may be the problem. God had to wait for David to be moved before the next scene could be moved. Probably, you're the man God, your country, your family is waiting for to show up. Probably you're he or she God has put a calling on, that without you they can do nothing. May you discover its you, stop living in sin, enter into purpose and find out God's sovereign will for your life. Until cargoes are moved to where they're needed, they can't be put to their uses. Heaven and earth await your manifestation. May this delay ends. May the training God has invested heavily on to train you for the day of manifestation not be wasted. May you put it to work. May you gravitate towards what you're called for. May the challenge that would make you a national hero and reveal you to the community of men draw you successfully to itself. May you be where God is. Backsliding is missing steps with God. May you take a step when God ordains it. May God speak once, may you perceive seven times. May your Jesse pick God's signal that immediate and not let what God intended removed last so long and become inflated into a mountain threatening men. 

PRAYER: Grant me a sharp discerning. I receive willingness and obedience.

INCREASING LEARNING: Learning to increase your sea level!

INCREASING LEARNING: adoring the wise and ameliorating the fools

May you become robust in learning. May you increase in learning. May more, some, one etc always be added to what you already have on ground. 

May you not be divided or subtracted from. Rather, I say witness addition and multiplication. I declare, be added to. Increase in learning. Increase your gathering, treasure, find, wealth and resources. No loss or retrogression where you could have profited anywhere and tended forward. You see, God argues not the fact that you already have some quantity with you or in you. What He's saying as His intention is is that you could add to it. Where and what would afford you add to your being a man of robust learning, knowledge or revelation is same that may be the stumbling block of some. 

That place says, "A WISE man will HEAR, and will INCREASE LEARNING; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels (Prov.1:5)."

That means, "the fool will hear and will subtract (reduce in) learning." You see, you can hear, read or come upon a thing and it ruins you. Yet, it is intended to build you up and make you attain unto wise counsels and mastery. There are people who argue with obvious result and evidences evidential. All those can't increase in learning. They can't facilitate the purpose for which they're being taught. The information they're contacting is not adding a dime or nutrient to them because they disbelieve in it. Many there be who don't esteem their prophet. How could they be healed?

At times, not receiving the communicator or messenger may make you such who reduces in learning instead of increasing in it. Also, it may be because of inner self doubt or lack of clarification/understanding (on your side) which makes it impossible for you to agree, accept and add the wealth of information being offered to you to your library of knowledge or that which you could lay hold on and say, "this is mine. I mined them by obedience and diligence."

Brethren, which are you? He that hears and what he hears does him good by adding to his knowing, understanding and conceptualization or one that hearing brings confusion, doubt, decrease or destruction to? Do you know that you may hear false doctrine and it may make you loose yourself from right doctrine? In there, you decrease in learning. However, if you hear right doctrine and it purges you of falsehood, you can't and shouldn't be said to have decreased in learning. Rather, you'll still have increased because you've learnt what to uphold and what to let go of (which of course is poisonous and not health to you). In there, you're given a sieve.

I've found out by experience uncountable that when I read the materials of others (it's not only Christian write-ups), I do receive further insights and fresh communication either from the Bible verses they share (which may be interpreted differently by them) or their teachings. This is another way by which God fills Christians, teachers and all ministers. God will just quicken a part of what's being said to you. It would suddenly make a new sense to you. It would be novel, all new and sparkling interest in you; ready to be dug and explored. In that manner, having received what was not there before (now by revelation), you increase (in) learning. Increasing learning simply means profiting. It means making more money if you would. Remember the story on the talents, some made additional talents to add to the ones they started with. They're regarded as wise traders in this wise. Any who could increase what he has is wise. Diminishing is sorrow to any it finds. The fool couldn't double or increase what was invested in his care and so lost it to a profitable faithful servant. God has been merciful enough to give all of us a starting point. We're all endowed with gifts but can you make the light of it so shine before men that they'll say and you yourself would concur, "you've profited from it." Look, God's merciful enough sending us prophets and teachers. But, what have we been doing with them? Have we being stoning and killing them by our nonchalant attitude like many predecessors did or we multiply and attain by the instructions of their lips? Only you could say. Please, be your judge. 

Are you seeing how possible it is increasing learning now. That Bible verse if you read in KJV could be confusing because the preposition "in" was not added in the quoted verse. Check it out here (Prov.9:9, 16:21) in comparison in KJV and you'll find it to be same. 

Look, you can increase in learning. When you do, you become wiser because you'll be adding to the heap of wisdom you've learnt from God or acquired in life. May instructions of those under who you sit make your sea level rise. As you take in, may you swell. May famine of knowledge not strike you. May you by learning receive more wisdom, know hows and prosperous instructions on how to live the good life. In simple terms, you can increase in learning. You do when you act on what's being commanded. Doing that would make you see its recompense as benefiting and so rehearse the process. You'll have attained learning by having come to learn it permanently. While I can pray that you'll increase in learning yet it lies with you to add diligence, giving of attention and obedience to increase in learning. Gathering is hard if you don't know. There be many who detests and vomits acquiring. Some presences irritate them. They don't see them as superlative enough to esteem and receive from. Anyway, God will recommend men to you. 

That's why that place says, "the wise will hear...." Who's "the/that wise?" One who obeys whatsoever is said. Didn't the Bible says, "the doer is the blessed." That's the only fellow who increases in learning when he hears (listen and then act it out). I tell you, despite the fact that teachers are teaching, only few are increasing in learning. You know why? Few actors. They cheated without knowing one don't know until he knows (learn) by doing the instructed. You have not learnt until you learn by experience, practise or rehearsal. It's then you'll discover some things they didn't say yourself. The process becomes more widened and enlarged to you because you take time to research it out. It was a step by step work you did before arriving at the answer. That one - the researching or seeking to know therefore becomes flesh. It makes a mark indelible in you that becomes evidence you carry around even if you don't talk it. 

Save your earnings. The world knows that. Save consistently. They'll say they heard but only those who took the pain of doing same would see that indeed it is profitable saving money (by the time they begin to reap the harvest of having a saving). From that experience, they'll take that knowledge further having seen how sweet it is saving money by consistently saving. They'll resolutely commit and resolve to always save (the level they didn't get to at first practise) and from there taste a growth and increment from strength to strength. This is how people add one layer of wisdom to another until they eventually lay wisdom up. This inturn is what they could teach or use to instruct others because they have been  doers themselves - those who bear the marks and cost of doing upon themselves. They have testimonies and they can now share it. 

May I ask, have you been a fool decreasing learning (the percentage committed to him or that should fall to him) or a witty increasing the allocation given or already acquired by him. At this corridor, you're the decider of your fate. Oracle your path and eat from same. May you be wise to listen to others. The wise wouldn't have heard let alone increase in learning if he gave no heed to hear other wise or wiser teachers. But as he does, the tendency of increasing his sea level begins to befall him until you could call him the befallen who could now instruct others to be befell by the same "increasing learning" mantra. I say, "increase learning" because you "can increase learning." Take a step further and become superlative wonder! Arise the sea level!

OPEN YOUR PORTFOLIO!

Read I Sam 17:31-37

I Samuel 17:36 KJV

"36 Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God."

Saul said, "you are not able to go against him because he has been a man of war from his youth." That's David trying to survive his rookie years but a personality innocently is still trying to hinder him from entering professionalism. What could be the problem? They care so much for David and wouldn't want him lose his life like that. That's the reason for the warning. He has been a fighter but who knows you to be one yet you said you'll take him on. At this point, David was necessitated to prove a fact. Did the Bible not say we should have an answer ready for all those who enquire from us (I Peter 3:15)? David pointed out in his discourse. "I have been a shepherd and here are my accomplishments. I have slew both the lion and the bear. I have a background knowledge in fighting. It would be fitting if you allow me execute this project. At least, I am not a novice somehow and I wouldn't be starting from zero." It was this that was heard that settled all to let David have his fight. Immediately, Saul said to David, "go, and the Lord be with you." You must be convincing and persuading. Never be abstract in your persuasion. Present evidences. 

People might think less of you but evidences are always evident. David could have been forever shut up from fighting Goliath if not for the presentation of his former works in that line. Nobody believes you until we see testimonies of the jobs you've delivered on. If you're most especially in the creative world, either you're a graphics designer or a content writer etc, one of the things your employer wants to see before they trust you with their jobs is sample of your previous work. They call it a portfolio. It is a folder of series of works you've delivered on which won you more. David had that. God is speaking to someone. Never leave your place of assignment. Sticking to duties gives you preparation and experience that you have no thinking where it'll be valuable. David never saw Goliath coming. He only had a training in Warring 101. David was a shepherd. That was his job. But in his job description, it involves protecting the sheep. In the process of being a good shepherd, he learnt warring. Yet shepherding seems such a job that contradicts warring. In unseemly places and jobs, God will make your path cross with an experience that would give you entrance into your multimillion job or prepare you a future in your calling or career. Never despise any day of little beginning even if it would mean volunteering to gather valuable experience, building your Curriculum Vitae and portfolio. David started a volunteer. Jesse was not paying him. Even Eliab fought him saying, "with whom did you leave those few sheep" (18). That's to tell you how insignificant the job that prepared him was. The truth is you must prove your worth and there are levels and tasks on which you could build your worth up. The world is looking for a trusted hand, one in which they could commit the Goliath project to. May God make you win it as you bid for it. It took David bidding by explaining what he's capable of before he was let in. Never be reluctant to assuage the doubt of any concerning you. Let no man make mockery of your youth. Wisdom is not always age. Experience is always not adulthood. David had experience that almost all the soldiers there didn't have including Saul. Let your confidence be, "the Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the bear will deliver me from this uncircumcised Philistine because he'll also be like one of them." You see, no new task. One new task would always disguise as an old one. Your chances of succeeding is built up for having attempted similar tasks before. Today, don't shortchange yourself by fleeing from any assignment life or authorities are entrusting you with. That's your Potter's House, those who stay would have a story to tell and a preparation for their future inevitably.

PRAYER: Lord, may I not despise my little beginning and my insignificant achievements. May I overcome by testimonies. Settle me in the place of learning. May I not become critical of the assignment that's my launchpad into my future.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

THE CONFESSION OF HEROES BEFORE THEY WERE STRONG

Read I Samuel 17:41-47

I Samuel 17:45, KJV

"Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied."

Brethren, there is confession of newbies different from masters'. When you're a newbie, that is a J.J.C. (Johny Just Come), your volatile reputation makes you have self doubt and less belief in yourself. You're always seeking affirmation erratically while gazing at experienced hands for strength. If there were a greater force or power to trust in, you'll release yourself and your faith to rest in such and their words. Do know that it is easier trusting in God in days of nothingness than our days of apprehension. Range from fields to fields, you'll see the simplicity unarguably by which people submitted and took up tasks during their beginning. This is David at the battle front. Apart from the local matches he had had with wild animals, he had never battled with any human before let alone a champion. This bout was his first professional fight. So, how did he went into battle that day? That's what God wants you see. He said: "thou (Goliath) come to me with weapons" - these are the things anyone would easily trust in. You'll be stupid as a human if you want to protect a city without setting guards. However, we know who indeed could keep a city. We know it is God who could make it not enter any man's mind to come break through. They may have the intention but He has the power over all His creatures to hold or let them loose. God determines our boundary. That's why a quick reminder in Psalm 127:1 would do. 

"But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts" - David said this also after Goliath had disdained him and boasted as to how he'll feed him away to fowls. He was counteracting Goliath not by what Goliath brought to the field or trusted in but by esteeming and acknowledging God. What you esteem and have utmost trust in as weapon would be revealed in the evil day. That is what your pronouncement and care would be around. That'll be what you'll care reaching for or invoking. For David, it was God. He couldn't have boasted in anything. When he told of his former achievements, it was to convince all to let him take on Goliath but never to dazzle, exercise pride or show dependence in his own strength. God as He said is in whose name he has come to do battle. What a thing! He didn't esteem himself as the warrior who would get it done. He rather said, "God will deliver you into my hands and I will smite you down so that all the earth may know that there's a God in Israel." What's David's end result for wanting to confront Goliath? So that all glory might be God's. That's the meaning of "so that all the earth may know there's a God in Israel." It is not, "so that they'll know I'm the son of Jesse or a mighty warrior." Did you see any boast in oneself there? All David said and exhibited counteracted all Goliath did. He so much trusted in his own might as to say, "choose a man that he may fight me. If he wins vice versa."

Brethren, emulate David. Always acknowledge God in your journey of what you'll face or that'll face you. Don't be wise in your own conceit or lean on your own understanding. God has wisdom and strategies to give you if you'll ever cultivate a heart and desire to find out. Invoke God, deliver the challenge to Him and at victory, attribute the glory also to Him. Only few become mature by years who still humble themselves before the Lord this way. Rather, they steal the show and name it theirs. They're under the influence of deception brought by mastery. Experience can endanger you especially if you're a minister. It is what won't make you enquire of God how He'll want you do a routine anew because you already have hows for it. David showed humility. He acknowledged God as He who will still give him victory like before in the face of his new challenge. God would like you be this humble at heart even if you have had a portfolio of achievement before. You may be an adult but you're still God's boy or girl. Reveal your need of Him. Never become Uzziah who thrusted himself into what was not his calling because he had reached the "made strong stage." This same Uzziah wouldn't have had such boldness to defy God in his early days (II Chronic.26:18). As you go, always carry the humility of "I just came" before God though with the inner confidence of "I've been here" before men. Men wants to see if you're competent and confident but God wants to see if you're teachable, referencing and loyal. May you always say like a newcomer, "I come to you in the name of the Lord" irrespective of how masterful or sophisticated you've become. 

PRAYER: Teach me the ways of disciples. May I esteem you as my greatest weapon and wisdom. May my sophistication not suffocate me.

A CALL BACK TO WORK

Read Ezekiel 37:1-11

Ezekiel 37:10, KJV

"So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army."

May God recover you. Until then, you'll lie down in utter uselessness. The story of the dry bones vividly brought this home. It reveals little or no usefulness of a forsaken vessel. These very dry bones are those of a vast army, once standing, raging and brave army. What has become of it now? The bones littering the valley only give evidences of once upon standing army. They're out of service; can't hold a sword let alone wave it. They're not different from artefacts now in museum. They're only good for sight seeing. They're no longer doing beings. They're in their retirement and are only meant to teach history or take people back on a memory lane. 

May God not leave you. May His commitment be ever with you. When vessels are no longer in use, they become instructional materials to moral lessons to honourable and vessels still in use on the importance of guarding against going out of God's service. If you don't know, God carried out Ezekiel in the Spirit to teach him a lesson by using these forgotten bones as teaching aids for such. He wanted to teach a lesson on "hope" and "possibility." You see, the relics of those soldiers have no other usefulness than that. They couldn't stand a vast army until God's command. They couldn't rage. They neither could attack. All of them have gone into eternal silence brought upon them by death. They've been shut up! Are you as well dead? Are you out of service and God's operation? Have you been discovered not to be violent again in the spirit? Do spirits now take you for granted and same manifests through people? God is standing you back. You will rise a great army yet again!

The testimony of these bones was that they were stood back. What a God, what a restorer and the bringer back of our yesteryears. It's a very painful thing to have known the life of exploit and suddenly enter into relegation. That's what happened to all these slain soldiers. However, they were found and recalled to their positions. God refurbished them. They were clothed and there rose up a great army yet again. God is set to set you too on motion. His thought towards you is still of good and not of evil. He's re-anointing, re-empowering and refurbishing you. On your feet, you'll stand a great soldier girded with sword. You might have been dismantled, having been left desolate but at the call of God, all graves shall open and wherever you're dead spiritually, you shall arise again. Yet, I say there's hope. Your graves have not been sealed. You're in the open valley where you could easily be sought after, found and recalled. You're not at all snared or hidden in holes. Today, let all graves give up their dead. I say, "dry bones, come back to life." People will not remember you and say, "you lost it." You'll be remembered for "ever coming back, ever tarrying still, ever continuing daily." Your rising shall be grand. You'll rise a Colossus and for God's great work on earth. You're made a new tool for God's use. Behold your destiny.

Isaiah 41:15, KJV 

"Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff."

That's you. That Ezekiel verse read, "and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army." So, they were great in number? We wouldn't have known outrightly if their bones was never fetched and compacted together and made into countable. So, they could still have some fight left in them? How would we have known if they were not first enlivened and then stood up (to get ready for combat and what they used to do). What was the purpose of an army standing on its feet? It depicts readiness, strength and proper equipping. Today, you're that army I see. May you be a Gad (a troop). May you run and not be weary but rather exchange strength for strength. May you have the strength of a troop and in battle do valiantly. 

PRAYER: Graves are opened, recovery has happened. Hallelujah.

A WAY OF ESCAPE - Lead and Feed Series 017

I Kings 17:7, KJV

"And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land."

All of us would come to a day and a place where we'll need God to create a way out of something for us. Some will reach a dire point, the peak of it all where in hotness they'll cry to God and in desperation seek for a way of escape. Even if this would be the only moment such people would acknowledge there's God, may He in such day take thought for you. 

Have you lost your job and you seem to have begun being in want? A process has begun and if there's no intervention, a giver may eventually become a beggar. But there's a work of intervention God does on the earth, He won't let you get where you'll be noticeably observed as being broke. The brook from which Elijah was taken life dried up but he was not embarrassed neither was he consumed by the famine because God orchestrated another way of escape for him to continue. You see, escape is what each of us can't but continually need. If we want to continue and live on in this life, we need an escape from God always. How often I enjoy God's salvation. Or else, we get trapped, fold up and go into extinction. You see, escape becomes important because we will always find ourselves in one mess or the other. Even if you're the most cautious, responsible, intelligent or smart; life and Satan will still create a need in your life even without your giving them any reason to do so. Meanwhile, some would have carelessness, jealousy and striving of people cause them damage. At some other times, we might be exonerated but at times we get punished with others and so need an escape or God's salvation. 

Psalms 91:16, KJV  

"With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."

Salvation there means deliverance which is otherwise best interpreted as "escape." The brook dried up and that could have been predicted as the beginning of Elijah's end. All of us may begin to factor in what would happen to him if there was no intervention but God came through for him. God didn't allow his feet get dashed on a stone. Though he was already going through the process of being in want, God didn't let Him reach there. An instruction to Zarephath saved him. He was recovered and restored to his former days of abundance. Look, God is your goal keeper. He'll save you and put you back. You'll be offered another way of escape. After Brook Cherith comes the widow of Zarephath. One place that stops working is what gives ample opportunity to God to find you the next. Our "escape" is daily and often. We need salvation basically because we'll face a lot of evils in this world. Where your first livelihood is dying, may God find you another. To those losing hope and under fire, may God unburden you. He's under obligation to see to it that you continue and you will. So shall it be in Jesus name. 

PRAYER: Lord, create a way of escape for me out of my own current temptation/challenge.

THE DAY THE LORD SENDS RAIN TO THE EARTH - Lead and Feed Series 016

I Kings 17:14, KJV

"For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth."

Elijah declared that what that widow has won't finish until the day the Lord sends rain to the earth. This is the cure for the famine predicted to last for three and half years. A timeline has been set and what all awaits is the end of three and half years. However, not all will see it. Some would have been consumed. Many would have dropped dead. The testimony of this widow to Elijah that that was her last meal, ready to be ate after which death follows reveals that many there be who won't survive or see the end of that three and half years famine. 

Elijah said, "until the day the Lord sends rain on earth." Let me ask you. How would you react and relate with a sibling you now see but who has been absent for three years? Such would be new in your sight. You'll want to be around them, listen and relate. You just want to catch up with the time missing. When the rain was to come that day, all were at attention. They were expecting when and how it would rain. This is like he who has been fasting and is now to break.. He'll appreciate eating better. That rain also symbolizes the rushing sound of revival. Some Christians have been experiencing spiritual famine and so have not enjoyed their relationship with God. Now, rain is falling. The Bible would make sense, prayer would interest you. Spiritual things will just be attractive to you.

That day also ends the manifestation of miracle which has been an improvisation to the unavailability of God's usual way of provision. That day could be likened to the growing again of Samson's hair. The power that had left him came back and he once wrought wonder.  May God restore you. May your banishment not be forever and to generations. May dry season be over for you. May drought in ministry, life and family stop. I open a new chapter upon you. A chapter of a new day, season and experience different from the former. I lay the axe of the anointing to cut off all pronouncements uttered to shut your heaven. Your sins are forgiven. You have seasons refreshing and you rejoice for same. 

PRAYER: Lord, cause a season refreshing over us. Let rain fall upon my nation's economy and mine. 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Nehemiah 11:1-12:26; 1 Corinthians 10:14-33; Psalm 34:11-22; Proverbs 21:14-16
