YOU HAVE! - Violator Series 004

Read Luke 15:1-12

Luke 15:12, KJV 

"And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living."

Today, the Lord is heavy on me. I'm currently experiencing Him and He's only saying one thing through my mouth and that's that, "you have." God is advocating through my mouth and shutting the mouths of many who might, are or will soon accuse Him of "not having or having been given." If you say, "you don't have", it means, "God hasn't given." However, God is hollering that you have because "you've been given."

The younger son of the father here does not step out empty. He is empowered. At his request, he is kindly furnished and filled to the brim. His ask is, "father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me." And he was given because we have report that the father, "divided unto them his living."

This boy has enough sense to know that there's a portion of goods that falls to him. If his ask was incorrect, the father wouldn't have honoured his ask. And then, the Lord spoke to me. He said, "there's a portion of Me and my things that fall for individuals and I've given it to them." The Bible says , "the LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage (Psalms 16:5-6, KJV).

At your coming here (to the earth), God took time to dress and load you with some provision. It may manifest as calling or gifts. It's not physical food but it can ever supply you food. God is saying, "for your journey and living on earth", you're never without a comforter for your journey. You have it in you or with you. Discover it. He's saying, "I have given you bread. I created bread with you. If you'll pull on your calling and gifts and let them so shine before men, so much more that men would see it and give glory to your Father who's in heaven (while their needs are being met), in no time, you shall see the physical provision that are children of this original and intentional deposit of God. Your gift or calling shall be acknowledged and you'll never come to begin to be in want. 

Some are also shouting and disputing a fact with God. They're saying, my lot is not good." It may be because you don't know your lot or the fullness of time hasn't come for you to break into your lot by discovery and knowledgeable rising (that can't be contested). So, it looks like you don't have. But did the Bible not says, "the lines have fallen to you in pleasant places and that you have a good heritage." Look, God has filled you. You're full on this journey with goods that good. You're so loaded that if you were tossed, you'll land and bounce. Much of God is in you. Don't waste this resources. I heard they've been there awaiting an unlocking and an unleashing so that you yourself might be satisfied - have a sense of fulfilment and live well. May you see all that's your provision. May you see that your inside is full of them, that your mountain is full of them and that provision, endowment (sparkling) surrounds you about waiting for exploration and what you'll use them to do.

PRAYER: May I come to the discovery of my gift and calling. I confess, "I'm full of them."

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Genesis 41:17-42:17; Matthew 13:24-46; Psalm 18:1-15; Proverbs 4:1-6

ONCE FULL BUT NOW EMPTY - Violator Series 003

Read Ruth 1

Ruth 1:20-21, KJV 

"20 And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?"

Once people begin to suffer the consequences of their actions, they do seek to deflect or deny being the causes at times. Who dealt bitterly with Naomi? God? Or it was the vulnerable steps they took that gave them over to the devil? Watch your steps this year as you go. You can travel wherever for residence, business e.t.c. but discern when and where not to travel.

A reading of Ruth 1 reveals how the family of Naomi went out in words that could be described as, "nothing missing and nothing broken." All of them were healthy, intact, robust and filled with hope at their setting out. More importantly, none diminished amidst them. At their numbering while launching out, they were all complete. Elimelech, Naomi, Mahlon and Chilion all went out as a pack and in a pack. This is the full squad that Naomi speaks about but which she has failed to take responsibility for after it was broken. Where bread is; security and salvation may not be there for you. No land is fully promising except where God locates you or tells you to stay (even if it were a war zone). If God is against you and you go and find your base in a barracks, you'll still perish. 

Naomi testified, "we went out full - nothing missing, nothing broken." We were a squad but here I am. I'm the only survivor. While today I'm believing the survivor anointing of Naomi would hit you, yet I'll desire you never join the move the Lord has not ordained. If it's only the day the Lord has made we could rejoice and be glad in it, it means, it's only such journey ordained by the Lord that could be benefited from fully. 

Naomi went out full but came back empty. Naomi was given a company. Naomi was not alone. She has a people her heart could safely trust in. I mean, hers. But later, she lost all and was emptied. May you not go on the journey of deception. Do you know what the journey of deception is? It's a journey that'll look bright before your departure but inwardly is like the ravenous wolf in sheep clothing. It'll eventually harm and wreck you. So, while it's good to take opportunities, don't take opportunities after the vision of men. While a fish is harbouring a coin for Peter and Jesus' uses  yet a fish swallows a whole human up. What's blessing to some is the curse of some. Any who goes on their own journey always end being swallowed up like Jonah. They might have experienced gloom even if they'll finally know God's salvation. But if you'll be commissioned, what should swallow you would vomit you bread to eat. You'll live life abundantly.

Naomi's story and life experience reveals again the reality of starting out full but wasted and finished on the way. However, you can learn how to remain, endure with all you are and have by being dictated to by the Spirit. Let people see your body move and mistaken your moves for ordinary moves because they are not there when you were commissioned. That's the better journey. All who goes on them goes in full and comes back fuller. They won't go back as Christians and return as atheists. They won't go out as righteous ones and return with perversions. May you always go out in full and return fuller. May your energy not be sapped as you go out daily. And at arrival back home later in the day, may it be good news you'll bring, hear and contact. May you not record losses. Yes, any sort of losses. I cancel them. May you not business in the morning and be in debt later in the day. You're the spared. May you always experience God's move, a pull in your heart and a reluctance of your feet over all deceptive journeys.

PRAYER: I shall not go on any journey of deception this year. I shall not go out full and incur losses. I shall be fuller. 

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Genesis 42:18-43:34; Matthew 13:47-14:12; Psalm 18:16-36; Proverbs 4:7-10

MAXIMIZING YOUR FEEDING - Violator Series 002

Read I Kings 19:1-8

I Kings 19:7-8, KJV  

"7 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. 8 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God."

Did you know Elijah is invested in just like the prodigal son is invested in? The prodigal son met his dad and said, "father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me" and then we have report that his father divided him. Also, after the Mount Carmel contest and cleansing, Elijah fled having being threatened by Jezebel. In Gloom, darkness and great tiredness, he sleeps. He even requests that he dies. It seems to have reached its apex. 

At this time, an angel wakes him up and offers him food and water. He eats and goes back to sleep. Again, the angel does same but with a warning or encouragement that he should wake and eat because, "the journey is too great for him!" Isn't that shocking? What could be coming that's too great for Elijah that heaven had seen which necessitates his being fed repeatedly and invested in again? The answer is in the next verse. 

I Kings 19:8, KJV  

"And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God."

That's what brought that encouragement and if you might say warning that he should tidy up and eat because the journey would be too great for him. Imagine somebody trekking to a destination and that for forty days and forty nights. How far is that place? How tedious is that journey? It tells me, God works in our present based on what he has seen in our future. He anticipates the future for us and he wants us to have been concretized to contain it. So, that double investment is to sustain Elijah so he won't faint or die before reaching destination. And we have a testimony that, "he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights unto Horeb, the mount of God." He didn't disappoint expectation. He didn't fall by the way side or die in that process. He reached destination. He maximized and fulfilled the reason for his doubly feeding. But what do we have to say about the prodigal son who goes on a journey and is invested seriously in before departure yet finished before what he should use the investment to confront came. We read that, "and when he had spent all, a mighty famine arose and he began to be in want (Luke 15:14, KJV). He had finished before the fight and real journey began. That investment he left home with ought to be his defence against that famine but since he left home without any counsel or anticipation of a future to come, he squandered all only to begin to be shown pepper. 

You see, if you see ahead and know there'll be hard times, you could take caution, act differently and do something that others might even mock because they're not yet seeing the reason for such anticipation. Elijah was told to rise and eat because the journey is too great for him. They hinted him of a danger ahead. So, Elijah ate. He had a choice of not eating or eating sparingly but Elijah fed on that food indeed. He filled himself with bread. Yet, all he heard was that "the journey would be too great for him." He never knew neither was he told it would take forty days until he had undertaken it. God corresponds Elijah with his journey. God will come for everyone like this. Just ensure when you're being warned to "wake and act somehow", you do because that may be your salvation for the future. The disobedient will suffer in the nearest future.  

I pray that you'll fulfill the reason for your being loaded, beloved and fed. Even if the journey of a month would last forty days, it won't be you that'll be looking for money to borrow before the month ends and another comes at its scheduled time to come. What you have will engulf you and be sufficient to take care of the duration and the season you'll enter into.

PRAYER: Lord, equal me with the season to come on me. Hint me of the future and what preparation to enter with.

YOU MAY BEGIN TO BE IN WANT - Violator Series 001

Read Luke 15:11-14

Luke 15:14, KJV  

"And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want."

The truth is that you can actually begin to be in want. You may set out being full but you might have been emptied and so much spent that you arrive at a place (where you shouldn't have gotten to) where you begin to be "in want."

God may not intend that you run down or descend to the valley of want or need but that's not dependent on God but you. Today, my Father - the One who anointed my head with oil and consequently makes my cup run over wants me ask you how good an economic manager you are. God told me, "I will do mine and I have done mine for many people. I will give you this life's investment at a season. Line will fall in place for you in good places and you'll have a good heritage or inheritance. What will be divided you will be tangibilities. You'll have gathered something. I'll indeed make you a caretaker of something." If you read today's passage, you'll see that the father in that parable who's God invested portions to his two sons. It only seems obvious he gave to one but it was his two sons he gave to. However, the Bible recorded that 'last-last' or at the end that the travelling boy began to be in need. 

The question should be "how, why, what road led him there?" Is this not the boy who started out full? Is he not the fellow that asked the father for his portion and was divided his? This was the young man who while leaving home left with much more than he could ever spend or use. So, what could have gone amiss and why did we have an unfortunate report about him that, "and he began to be in want." Though he has been made a financial manager who custodies millions, yet he came to that concluded end and did so hurriedly because he lived riotously. There's a way that seems right to one but whose end is destruction. There's a way to live and a way not to live. Either way you live is living to work some principles or laws that can't but see you to a conclusion - good or bad.  The way this young man chose to live quickly descended and lowered him down to poverty. Hear what the Bible testifies about him. 

Luke 15:13, KJV

"And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living."

"and WHERE wasted his substance with riotous living?" And there (the far country he had travelled to) wasted his substance with riotous living. What ended him and let him down isn't that he was not bestowed with ensuring wealth. He was well bestowed and furnished for the journey and any life he might chooses to live thereafter. What ended him was that, "he was not a good economic manager." He spent riotously. He spent as a spendthrift. He spent with the notion, "it'll always reproduce itself and I'll always have another" This ain't strategic sowing or investment he did that would have made him see his meat upon the waters even after many days. This is spending on harlots and pretending friends who get attracted because of his vast wealth. That's why after he has made an end of spending all he set out with, he was left alone. If they were right friends, they'll raise him up. But he was left to raise himself up. 

Brethren, don't complain of ever going down or ending like this waster if when you're in your abundant season, you take no thought on how to commission money to serve you for the days you don't yet know. If you're an eat-it-all like this prodigal son, even if you've been invested with much, you may soon feel empty, run on low battery economically and begin to be in want. "To begin to be in want" is just to have begun to taste poverty. I pray for you that God will open your reason and make you understand dangers of riotous living so that you'll be jolted out of wastage and consequences of wastage. 

PRAYER: I receive a fresh baptism and skillfulness in wealth management and administration.

THE SUFFERING OF ROUNDED STONES

Read Galatians 5:19-23

I Samuel 17:40, KJV

"And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine."

These rounded stones were not at first rounded. They didn't have a beginning of smoothness. They were all jagged and rough edged. Their reputation and antecedent contradicts whatsover you see and now know of them. But, how did they become smooth? How did they turn into such Christians that any hand and sight could choose to send on an errand of appointment anytime without fear of disappoinment or disgrace?

These stones when they were cut into the brook began as rough edged unruly stones. They're not stones you'll covet to handpick but as they were transported and carried here and there on a long journey of swimming in the brook, they began to be smoothened. As they hit, rub and grind other stones, all their rough edges began to disappear because they're beginning to be beaten into fine stones. It's then any who sees them found them attractive to pick. But their smoothening process wasn't easy. You'll agree it takes patience and obedience in developing character in anyone. You might even think these stones have never had an antecedent of roughness before due to how they appear now in beauty. Until you hear their testimonies, you don't fear or empathize with how much they've been through before becoming rounded stones that attract men. 

You see, on our Christian journey, we're promised and could have the destination of the rounded stones but we all began being rough edged, rebellious sinners. Then, we were converted. It was at that point our journey of smoothness began. As we were discipled, as we renewed out minds daily; we began to shed the much weight of sin and unrighteousness we have accumulated and trained ourselves in. Discipleship purged us. Though we didn't find it funny yet as we related with God and the saints, we learnt what's the acceptable will of God to practice and now, here we are. We've made an arrival. There's no Christian who will behold or relate with us who won't desire to be in our company. They call us sweet and gracious Christians. We're useful for the kingdom and valuable to the society. Like Dorcas, we've been succourers of many as our secret works testify (Acts 9:36,39). But they might not know that we were once rough stones - full of selfishness, lust, rivalry, envy and all works of the flesh. Now, we only sparkle the fruits of the spirit.

Mature Christians are interesting to have or relate with but they never began as graceful Christians. They began as stones anyone would bypass and wouldn't want to have to do. But now, they have a new testimony. If you ever have around you as a leader people who are not yet filled with Christian virtues, don't be tired working on them. They shall arrive at a place where they'll become your joy and God's. They shall arrive where you won't have any fear or shame presenting them. They'll be the choice amidst many others for assignments and missions. But before they'll find usefulness in the hands of David and appearance outside their quarry, they must have been tiredlessly worked on to earn a new name. 

PRAYER: Lord, fine tune me. Give me the forbearance to let patience have its full effect on me as You work on me.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO

THEY HAVE THEIR REWARD!

Matthew 6:5-6, KJV

"5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

May this voice not speak to you. Jesus says, "they have their reward." One might take it for a good reward but that reward isn't what any God seeker should have. 

Have you come to seek God or you have come for a demonstration? It is the work of the flesh urging you on to make a show, scene or scenario with your prayer life so that men might notice you. Some people in Jesus' days even took it further. They prayed in strategic places of concourse as to be noticed of men to pray. I mean, they prayed for recognition of men. At that point, Jesus vomits to them an immediate response, "they have their reward." What they're looking for is what they have found but this has hindered them from ever being a partaker in the blessing of any who prays and prays through. 

This reward Jesus talks about isn't what they'll have but what they immediately have as soon as they have become hypocritical. It's like a programming that gives result as soon as it's operated. They are immediately judged for being hypocrites in prayer. You remember I Timothy 5:24 says, "some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after." These men's are open before hand. They're immediately judged. Those whose sins shall manifest immediately are those who have come with an intention of earning men's recognition. Your judgement is that, "you have your reward already." It is not what you'll hear later or tomorrow. It's a voice rebuking you immediately and seeking your amelioration. 

If this is your judgement, God is trying to wean you from any further expectation of answered prayers. He's preparing your mind not to think of impressing men at His expense yet with an expectation of blessing from Him. No! You have your reward already. You're not different from that man that was told not to expect anything in prayer if he doubts. 

James 1:6-7, KJV

"6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord."

Why? Because he has faulted the process by doubting. You, you have faulted the process by being hypocritical in prayer. So, don't still be caught in any deception of yourself that God is merciful. On this, you're judged already. What ought to be made to God primarily is been made to men! If you're praying to be seen and acknowledged of men, judge if you are praying to God. We could even take it further by calling you an idolater. You're very much or close to that camouflage of deferring what God should attentively acknowledge to what men should see and praise you for. 

Irrespective of the number, people, status of people who found themselves stumbling against this principle, the judging voice speaking to them this morning is that they've been judged already and so, "they have their reward." That reward as it's been elaborated to me is immature and untimely. No farmer plants and expects germination so soon and fruits instatenously but these breakers and violators of process tend to have their own that immediately. A mark that God doesn't favour such act at all. You should search yourself if your things have been to impress men and be seen of them instead of God. If it is, you'll on many occasions collide with the will of God and can never become a yielded vessel in His hands. The reason is because He hasn't become your Lord and doesn't have you totally for Himself. Have you been having your reward or you'll await your reward. The Bible says, "God is a rewarder of they that diligently seeks Him (Heb.11:6). This verse means God will reward you but never untimely, inappropriately and immaturely. I pray that the voice of God's judgement and disfavour won't speak into your life. 

PRAYER: Lord, kill in me what's breathing and desiring the inordinate acknowledgement of men and endorsement.

FRIDAY - 13TH JANUARY, 2023

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO

THE REWARD OF PRAYER

Matthew 6:5-6, KJV

"5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

There's nothing justly done without its reward. The reward itself accompanies it to appreciate the sacrifice given which a great congregation might be defying. You and I can have the reward of prayer. In getting where we'll have that however, we'll do well if we heed some ordinances of Jesus on prayer. 

"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet" - Jesus said this in contrast to many who prayed with the intention of being seen, regarded as religious or hardworking in prayer. If that's there intention for which they pray, Jesus says, "they have their reward." They have their reward means they have their reward. You can't improve on that. These are words coming from Jesus' mouth Himself. That's why He wrote to you personally saying, "but thou when you pray." You know, we'll say, "God judges intention." Yes, He does and you should always purge your conscience and make it clear by asking always "the why" behind any of your action. Many actions are dead works. They're spurred by rivalry, desire for public praise, fame or that which perishes. You will get in contrast with kingdom principles and God if your intention is alien to what God says is acceptable. 

If there's a guideline to doing an exam and passing it but same is defied, we all know you'll be penalized. The same applies here. Jesus has set for us new laws as it regards prayer and personal prayer mostly. He's saying, "mind your intention for praying." If it's to look like a praying mantis before the people, you'll have your reward. Your reward is that you'll be seen and praised by them to pray. But that act will rob you of consequently having whatsover you have asked in prayer from God because your intention isn't to have an answer from Him but rather to impress men. Keep impressing men and losing God's favours. In doing something spiritual like prayer, you may get into trouble. The idea that you should pray in your closet after shutting the door against yourself is a provision to help you maintain privacy (of being touched by men or of touching them) and concentration. You're different from those who intentionally situates themselves where they'll be seen of men to pray and be praised for same. 

Jesus now promises that any who fulfils this condition of prayer would see His Father in heaven - the One Who sees in secret reward him openly.   Your prayers - secret heart desires should be unto God. In prayer, we don't come to pose to God, we reveal our deepest longings to Him. He's someone we could disclose to. When rightly done for the right purpose, we're promised an answer. Also, it should be noted that it's very much inappropriate to pray and disturb your neighbours. The blueprint given us here would curtail that as well. If your prayers were to be secret to your Father which is in secret, then you won't have any basis for a jangling prayer that disturbs or wants to be heard. If that's your intention, Jesus is saying, "you already have your reward." If you're ignorant, correct it. That means, there's nothing that could be done to change God's mind about giving you answers to your prayers. You wanted to be heard, seen, felt and acknowledged of men to pray and they have and that's all. You have received your reward. They might have been deceived by the fact that you pray and spend time in prayer because you wanted them see same but Jesus says, "that's all, you'll ever have as your reward." "You have your reward" means since your intention has been achieved, you don't need another answer. 

This is how many put themselves in trouble with God and wonder at what's not working that they're working. Hannah typifies one who prays this secret prayer. She even prays in her heart. Though Eli saw her lips moving and heard no voice, Hannah's intention was not to draw attention or be acknowledged to pray. As a matter of fact, Eli misconceived her for being drunken and didn't believe she actually prayed until Hannah opened up to him (I Sam.10:17). Jesus also fulfilled this when He went out to pray in a solitary place a great while before day.  (Mark 1:35). Today, you have a choice - to be acknowledged by men or God. It's he who acknowledges you from whom your reward will come. 

PRAYER: May I stop every vain labour. May I not yield to the desire of the flesh to be praised or acknowledged. May I rather see the children of prayers.
