DIVINE FORERUNNERS ARE BEFORE YOU

READ Gen.24:1-20

Genesis 24:6-7, KJV

"6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again. 7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou  shalt take a wife unto my son from thence".

Do you know what confidence Abraham has before saying the above? Do you? Look, it is the confidence coming from having walked with God. This man's statement reveals that He has learnt God and knows what He's reputed for. Read the verse for the day again and see that truth hidden in every pieces of the writing. 

First, it's, "...the Lord God of heaven which took me from my father's house and from the land of my kindred..."

Abraham is saying, "I am the called or the called out". See, you may not know how hard it is stepping out or being called out of your security until God calls you out. Some people are guided out of their security but I'm talking of being led out of your security. When you thus hear God saying, "intentionally pack your loads and leave" and not you finding yourself by chance somewhere but which later becomes your God given Rehoboth, you'll understand the full import of being called. So, the first reference of Abraham goes to if He calls me out as a nobody and takes me on such a journey that makes somebody of me; then, I can trust Him. 

The second to consider is, "and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land..."

God not only called him out but he has been beloved and has experienced God's special love. He believes in the God who swears He'll give birth (at an impossible age) yet He did. He's fully trusting in that God who has made the promise of giving him such land to look for means of perpetuating it in the hands of his down-lines. On that note, Abraham believes this last part of God sending an angel before them will be possible.

Look at me, the kind of life I want to live is "the Lord's doing". So far, I know that's what can be "marvellous" in the sight of all. Abraham didn't speak like a newbie when he said assuredly that God would send an angel before his servant. He speaks out of having walked and experienced God for years. He has seen indeed that God does not fail. A thousand of them may disappoint but God does not fail. On this note, boldly and assuredly, he says, God - who did all we have recounted and analysed to him can't but care again by sending his angel ahead of them in order to jealous for him (Abraham). I pray for you that on occasions that things will concern you, God will send His angels ahead of you and release resources for your sake. Abraham is not doubtful of heaven releasing their resources for his sake. Though it's his son who wants to marry yet it is clear that's Abraham's need. Do you know what I'm seeing there? Your God will not only protect and jealous for you, it will for your down-lines. All your labour of love shall be remembered and they can be reaped by extension by your down-lines. Also, I'm seeing another truth there. Patronage spirits (Holy Spirit or satanic) over families and ancestries always involve themselves in the marital choice of those they are to watch over. Abraham has a covenant with God and that hands Himself and all that'll ever proceed from Him to God. Even when an Israelite or a Jew is misbehaving, God for Abraham's sake can be merciful on him. The truth is how much more if we're in Christ and have the new covenant? In that passage we read, the angel that'll go before that servant is a messenger and part of the resources of God that Abraham cut a covenant and is in a relationship with. In essence, Abraham has done one thing. It is, "how can God forsake me when He has patronage and obligation over my family? He will go before you therefore". If you're born again, all heaven's resources are at your disposal. Be assured of that like Abraham assuredly told his servant. God won't watch. He'll go before you and prosper your journey. Even before you get there, He'll take thought for you. He'll make all the necessary arrangements. Things will fall into their spaces. You will meet it so". 

Indeed, this servant travelled. At arrival at the gate of the city, he prayed that God would prosper his journey and remember His servant, Abraham and then he gave out some demands. Unlike Abraham who's a serious believer and who works in faith, this servant though walking in faith, does in a lesser dimension. Any who asks for signs is either faithless or of little faith. Shockingly, all those were met. Divinely coincidental and fitting time, Rebekah was sure aroused to go to the well. To test the reality of God sending an angel before him and the reality of all the signs he listed being fulfilled, Rebekah didn't object to giving him a drink and then giving his ten camels. 

You see, if God was not in this thing, it wouldn't have worked. I don't know that humble lady that'll give you a drink and then give to ten camels! A camel drinks at least 15 gallons of water. It means those camels at least drank 150 gallons of water. Yet, the Bible says, "until they have finished drinking" (24:19). Of a surety, God must have secretly commanded Rebekah and made her vulnerable to those wishes, prophecy of Abraham and prayer of his servant. Rebekah therefore becomes like the commanded widow of Zarephath that God put under command (oath of a kind) for the sake of Elijah. I pray for you that men shall come under command for you. Where you need help and you're on tip toe for it, it shall be as you desire. Help shall be availed you beyond normal. You won't only drink but you'll receive a helper who'll go the extra mile of taking thought for your extra luggages. Those of you single mothers who want to remarry. This is your time. The Lord is here. I say, receive the man who will give you drink and take complete thought for the number you'll bring." 

Brethren, look at me, the Spirit of prophecy is my witness. God do send angels before people. I call them "sweepers" or let's say, "forerunners". They'll make your way before you prosperous. I left home for higher education at age 17. I sure believe angels went before me because my way was prosperous. Yet, there's something special about age 17 because that's the age Joseph fed the flocks with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah (Gen.37:2). Today, the future you don't see shall be settled because angels shall go before you. Abraham predicted it and though no physical angel appeared or was spoken about in that passage, yet we have reasons to believe an angel went to put things on ground for Abraham's sake. God will be jealous for you for Jesus' sake. Angels will go before you. You'll meet it so. The life I want to live is the type that tells people, "go and you'll see and witness this and that" and which will meet it that way. No wonder that servant bowed and worshipped God having seen how he was guided to the house of his master's kindred (Gen. 24:27). You'll also be led and guided. You won't journey all alone. You'll go in the right path and meet the appointed person. 

PRAYER: Lord, send an angel ahead me to always prepare my way before me.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

SITED BY HELP AND HELPED OVER DELAY

Read Genesis 37:13-22

Genesis 37:15, KJV

"And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?

Brethren, are you there this morning? What you must know and believe firmly is that once one phase is ending in your life, God will supremely kick-start another for you. One phase of life always leads to the other. You won't get stuck. You must progress. Today, my Father, the Lord God is dispelling darkness on your path. You'll be set on motion until you can have the testimony of safe arrival. 

Joseph must reach. He must go on the journey of destiny. If the sheaf he saw standing up and bowed to will ever become a reality, then Joseph must be guided to Egypt. He himself didn't appreciate being sold. If his opinion was sought, he wouldn't want to go. But for his overall best, he must go. He may not know the details but no one is ever guided who doesn't testify later to God's goodness when they see where and to what profit they've been guided to. No wonder, Joseph confesses that his brothers intended it for evil but God intends it for good. He was even comforting them not to be grieved (Gen.50:20).

On an occasion, Jacob sent Joseph to go and check on the welfare of his brothers. He got to Sheckem but he couldn't locate them. Joseph begins to wander around and he could have continued long in that but for the timely intervention of a man who asked him what he wanted. Confessing to the stranger, he receives the necessary arm up he needs. He takes a journey therefore to Dothan where the man hinted they've gone. Sure enough, Joseph found them in Dothan. 

The burden God is expressing is simple. God doesn't want you lost in life and in your find. I found out that the confusion that'll happen in a day if all sign posts, house numbers, street names etc were wiped off would be much without exaggeration. God wants you locate early. If you set out on any occasion, God wants you to arrive and arrive faster. It is a curse merry-go-rounding in the field without meeting the objective of launching out initially. But you can have the confession of Jacob to his father. When Isaac asked him how fast he could get the game he demanded for, he said one thing that is always the manifestation of any God is with and is being helped by Him. 

Genesis 27:20, KJV

"And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me".

Mark that, "because the Lord thy God brought it to me". Anyway, we all know he lied. It was a home fetched kid he prepared but that confession may be your own reality. It is what God will use to save time for you. While the Esaus are still in the field sweating it out, seeking game and seeking to comprehend their profession, God will bring you into a ready made rest. You will just fetch yours easily. When others are taking long to find resources, yours will be faster and so your time, years and life will be saved. God can actually bring it to you. God availed Joseph this man who saved his time. So, God can bring men and all resources you need to you. You may labour but it won't be absorbingly painstaking labour. Part of the work would have been done for you. The process would have been hastened for you. This happens when you receive gifts, blessings, mercy and become a host of unmerited favour. You simply become the 'lucky one' as popularly identified by everybody. 

To redeem time for you so that you won't continue to engage in vain labour, God will site men at certain junctures of your life so that you might be saved from wasted effort. That man found Joseph wandering. I won't call him an angel but that man is God's special help to Joseph in locating his brothers and then on time. Assuredly, Joseph couldn't have known where the brothers have left to and if he had guessed since he's also a shepherd like they are, it would take long before he ever arrives at their specific location. He would have engaged in wasted journeys and effort in going to places he would believe they might be but only to be frustrated without meeting them. However, Joseph met a help at hand. As he got to Sheckem and was wandering and wondering where they could be, a prepared help shows up in the field for him. The question was, "what do you seek?" May you meet men who will ask you same. Only those vessels will be jealous for your sake and good. 

Genesis 37:15, KJV

"15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? 16 And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks. 17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan".

I pray for you, you'll meet with the next you're looking for. You'll not be stranded. God will fix men for you at a juncture and outlet leading to another. Your wandering ends today. You will take the next transport and go on in life. Where you've been halted at a level, I have your released in Jesus' name. This man's information is what furthers Joseph into ever travelling to Egypt, his land of destiny. His successful arrival in Dothan is what kick-starts in his brothers the plan to kill or later to sell him. For sure, a phase and full cycle has been completed over Joseph. He must now travel towards his birthing of destiny. God is the one who sovereignly watches over the phases that unfold in our lives. When the appointed time comes, He'll supremely work but as you cooperate with Him to bring you into your next phase and experience. God will facilitate you. At junctures that matter, He will site men who will be useful to sponsoring you further into your next stage. This act of God is done so that you're not stranded but easily helped over delay. It may be someone to sponsor your education or adopt you for that time. God will just find a way for you . Your journey won't be cancelled. Your own flight to destination will also take off. Anything that'll maraud it will be terminated. God will set you on the road you should work. You'll hear a voice behind you saying, "herein is the way, walk ye in it". You're saved from confusion as to which choice of path to take. When you are, God shall enlighten your darkness and by His sovereign will order you to destination in His guidance. I pray over you, you will find a man in the field. A vessel that'll save you from wandering in this life and in this time. So, you'll enjoy accelerated journey and arrival. 

PRAYER: I have accelerated journey and I enjoy early arrival. My hands fetch it easily. It always comes to me.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

A TIME TO EVERYTHING

READ Ecclesiastes 3

Ecclesiastes 3:1, KJV

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven":

Look at God's word. How sweet it is? Ecclesiastes 3 opens with, "to everything there's a season and a time to every purpose or intent under the heaven". If to everything there's a season, then it means to say, each of those things designated for their specific season could only thrive and flourish in their specific season only. Take a look at what we plant. Due to the climate or weather condition, coupled with what sort of season we are in: probably of moderate rainfall, heavy rainfall, little rainfall, dry season etc, all determine what we choose to plant in them. And for each season, there are researched and already found out seeds/plants that'll survive in them. However, if you want to witness the power of season or test it, plant in a season what is not meant for that season. Even if it ever survives, you'll see that the yield would be little. Why? A specific season has ability to facilitate or hinder growth. There's a natural and supernatural help God Himself gives to humans to rise in achievement, calling or mandate when they're in their ordained seasons. In your season, you yield your increase and strength. It is your bounty you give and not otherwise. 

It's this law of season which the Lord knows to be correct that He is trying to create a reversal for when He says in Psalms 92:14  that, "they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing". Let's ask, is that possible? Yes. But does it happen to all men? No! Only those who believe in it enough and worked in it. Some aged people are still yielding their youths or strength though already old. They're still preaching, teaching, writing, counselling, advising, winning souls, and parenting but some could be all together hindered even by sickness or an immediate terminal death. 

While to everything there's a season (season is the garment sewn for everything to fit or fall into); there's time for every purpose under the heaven. "Under the heaven" means on earth or in this earth realm where humans live. Time is what is given to purposes and intents. The garment fitly sewn for purposes is time. Every purpose or intention needs to be fitted into the hole of their time: a specific time of operation. That's why Jesus couldn't do anything until His hour came in John 2. When it did, look at the instruction He gave them (John 2:7-8). 

He immediately knew what to do. He was not short of words. It came as a spree with powerful grace irresistible. Why? The time to make provision abound has come. Provision will multiply but first at its time. Time is what you're given to do every purpose on earth. Now, first your 24 hours but more importantly a revelatory time when you can assuredly gather that God is ordaining you to carry some steps. Such moments don't fail. That's why we have a record about the sons of Isaachar who understand and know what Israel ought to do per time (I Chro.12:32). That's what I'm talking about. Knowing when to act or implement something. Knowing this is its time unfailingly. Such deciphered time always come with their own imparted grace and loaded benefits ready to help you but only if you'll move and enter into that time first of all. Let me describe what this time for every purpose is clearly again. 

Let us say you're in a field of much wind and there a portal opens with a ringed mouth and a hollow inside but ready to carry you in a jiffy and with a great whirlwind speed into heaven. However, there may be a condition  which is unless you take it (by entering into it), it can't carry you nor will you arrive at your destination. You may desire being carried on a journey but if the vehicle or opportunity for such journey avails itself and you refuse to take it, you shall not amount to anything though with all the grace and help brought you that hour to leverage and get to heaven. That's why that place says, "and a time to every purpose on earth". There's a time for every purpose. If you have hundred things planned out, if you're a man of the Spirit yet with good sense, you can say with me that all will take its time to fulfill. That's what God does not want you to miss. He doesn't want you to make the mistake of piling too much on your faith at once. Look at me, it's God's intention to give you rest also while maintaining speed. If you'll find the time for each purpose and decipher the season where that thing could flourish or be appropriately done, you shall be the noblest and blessed amidst men. You will clap God and worship Him for having led you, guided you and tutored you towards patience to take each thing at their time. When you do a thing at its time, all the benefits you should derive from that thing done at its season or time would be given out to you. You'll see all appear to you one by one and you'll be full of awe at God's blessings. Look, it'll always be more than your expectation or calculation. That's the truth. Everything is only fitting at their times. Find the time for that thing. Let it loose only in its granted, given and blessed season. That's when it can grow and it won't become stunted - an image of mockery. Anything that people don't do in its time is what struggles or thrives to survive and that's because it has many hindrances surrounding it. How interesting it would be if it's after being a mother you say you want to go to school? Yes, you can. You may even finish eventually but your testimony will be that of struggle. You won't be that free to face academics and that'll be because you missed time. You could have read without baggages as a single where all your time would be for you but what have you done to yourself?  You misprioritized purposes. Your scale of preference is faulty. Your arrangements are wrong and didn't follow suitably. That's why you're always getting late to the lecture room. That's why you're the one always borrowing notes to copy. You don't even have time for research as a family man again. Why? The thought of bread on the table is what is choking you. I can therefore assure you that if by your own doing, you let a purpose or an intention in your life miss their time of grace (where they could be done smoothly), you'll pay for it and even if you survive it, it'll be by much blood, struggling and hardships. Find time and discharge purposes in them. 

PRAYER: Lord, give me the knowing of times and what they're meant for. Grip my spirit with a purpose when its time comes.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

NOW IS THE TIME!

Read John 2:1-8

John 2:3-4, KJV

"3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come".

"Hour" here is best interpreted as, "time". So, it should read like this: "mine time has not yet come". Not that it's literally speaking of sixty minutes that make one hour where a definite event must happen. While that could possibly be anyways yet in its true sense, "hour" there is "time" and it means my moment or time of operation has not yet come. 

From Jesus' confession here, we have a glimpse into knowing there's a time to move and a time to refrain. Mary has good intention but she misses divine timing. Surely she must have contacted the outworking of God at home through Jesus which is why she's bold to make such recommendation to the disciples that whatsoever Jesus asks them to do, they should do (John 2:5).

Meanwhile, Mary came too early. Her coming too early made her miss divine timing. Jesus will work. He as well knows their need but one thing is just not right. After proper scanning and deciphering, Jesus could arrive at the one thing that was not right and that's his hour of operation that has not yet come. He wants to work but He's being restricted because He has not yet come into his hour or time of operation. 

Probably I should explain using these instances. If you've learnt some things about William Branham, one of it would be that he may not be able to minister unless his angel first comes. This is no joke. William Branham is one of the accurate prophets who ever lived but this man always experience hindrance in that he would not know what to say or do unless his angel arrives. Once the angel comes (which even the audience would feel), astounding prophecies and miracles would be wrought through this earthen vessel. But until then, he's like any other human being. Even if he moves, nothing will move and that's because his hour, his time, the moment he must seize and be carried has not yet come. 

If you ask me how I author the devotional, I'll tell you it's by inspiration and that's no lie. What I hear is what I write. However, once the sensation, feeling, burden and pressing to write comes, I must understand that this is my hour to teach. So, I could remain locked up for hours and even half a day (the longest I had gone) just writing. At that time, grace, anointing and all the necessary resources needed to write is being facilitated me. So, when Jesus told the mum, "mummy, do we have business together? Mine hour has not yet come!" Jesus was doing two things at the same time. He was addressing the hurried and hasty nature of his mother. He's trying to help mummy learn how to wait until it's God's time of operation. That was not an insult. Mary was not offended anyway but hasty spirit or nature must be dealt with in you if you'll ever be used by God. Unless He's moving, you don't move. If you do, you'll be like Samson in operation who found out how simple a man could be when he's not divinely aided by God's Spirit again. However, when the hour comes, Jesus didn't have to make another announcement shouting, "my hour has come" or in William Branham's word, "my angel has come" or in my word, "my anointing has come". No! Rather, He gives instruction. Since it's time, things will happen (as if of themselves) though we know it's by God's involvement. At the arrival of that hour and time of occurrence when that miracle will fit time, season and then meet needs, water must of a fact turn to wine. It may be water but it'll be praised by anyone who tastes it as wine. That's what happens when your hour, your angel or your anointing has come. Effortlessly, you'll do the special. Mountains become levelled. Tarrying before God without eating becomes easier. Something of God will just wrap you over, delight you and suspend all other cares. That's because of the time you're in. 

When your time comes, gates and doors will crack open of their own accord. Let me include that ancient doors that your predecessors knocked until they died at its feet shall of its own accord flee and rush to open. It shall see you and fear. That would be because you're keeping your divine hour (a moment God is at work for, in, through you). A slated moment when all life's events must gather together to work for your good. 

Mine hour has not come. How golden those words are to me? So that I'll know when to enter and when to go out. All activities are timed and slated. When no pot must be filled, He refrained. Jesus had nothing to prove. He didn't say, I'll show you I have the money to travel abroad and the next thing is 'peew'. He didn't. He didn't say they were testing Him. He rather discord with missing time to saying, "when my time comes, I shall do as you're suggesting". But it will only be until then. You, receive light to see your hour has not come. Or else, you'll go with the wrong man. But if you'll be comforted that this blessing, opportunity and goodies they're flashing isn't yours to take, you'll easily let go of it. If Jesus does a miracle there and then at that request, it would be His honour and to God's glory but He'll have successfully breached His timing and would have for once be in disobedience but he resisted and conquered hastiness by saying, "mine hour has not yet come". As you are, quickly open to Ecclesiastes 3 to read about the types of time that be. It'll do something to your spirit. It'll make you sensitive to what time you're in. You'll be able to decipher when and when not. Those two are unanswered questions in our world today. "When and when not!" May the Spirit of right time, it is time, or it is not time rest on you. 

PRAYER: I receive understanding and perception for operation at mine hour. I won't miss my time, its grace, angel and anointing.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

DIVINE COINCIDENCE!

Judges 7:9-11, KJV

"9 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand. 10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host: 11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host".

Hmmmm! What a God! What a thing! What a leading! What a divine moment! What a divine precipitation! Brethren, I like to speak nothing else today than God's great and miraculous acts. This event here is one of them. I'm just amazed and again amazed at how God could draw a line here that'll meet with another there. That's why prophecy amazes me. Prophecy is one thing that even when under debates must find pathway for its own fulfilment. You can't roadblock it. If God's mouth says it, it must be it. And if you'll like to hear, many leadings with the instructions given with them are just prophecies seeking expression. 

How do you explain this? God leaned Gideon and his men down to a few 300. He did this so at victory there won't be any claim of whose the glory should be. This must have consequently made Gideon very doubtful and scared. How could we conquer by 300? Human resources is one of the things needed to win battles. God sees this and it reveals in His word to him: "but if you are afraid to go, go down to the host first". God wants us operate from faith and not fear. As we walk with Him, He wants us to do so in a strong believe but Gideon is far from this status. So, God decides to take him on a journey of experimentation where he could see things for himself. But before then, God told him he'll hear them saying something and by that, he'll be strengthened. Obviously, God knows what those would say but He intentionally kept it back from Gideon. He wanted Gideon to discover how great He is so much more that He won't need proofs any other time before he acts on His demands. So, what happens on reaching the edge of the enemy's camp?

Judges 7:13, KJV

"13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. 14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian". 

Look at Gideon's expression when he heard the thing being said. He worshipped God. That's the height of how he could say, "thank you Lord. When you say it, you always do it". He was full of awe. He probably had not seen this anywhere in his life. However, let's turn our attention elsewhere. Let's consider the works God does to ensure Gideon met it just as He had said. 

First of all, God had to give a dream to one of the enemy's soldiers. Then, God ordains that the arrival of Gideon would be timed to the communication and interpretation of that dream. God solely does this. That's the divine coincidence in that event. It was God who slates the meeting of both Gideon and these two men. While Gideon is on a mission and he knows for which reason he has gone out, these two men are just taking-over and found tools in God's hands. He gave one the dream and he gave another the interpretation. That's all Gideon needed to hear and it happened right on time. Gideon didn't delay in arrival and if he had delayed in arrival, God also must have delayed these two's interaction until they could serve into his hands. 

People of God, there's no length God can't go to fulfill His words. As a matter of fact, one of the things we should all be afraid of is prophetic word being spoken against us. Rather, we should endeavour that it'll be spoken for us. Once spoken, it is like a flood of water that'll eventually find its own path. Even if there was no ready made path, wherever it turns (even if there is resistance), it would make its own path. How do you explain the fact that while Joseph's brothers were trying to eliminate him, they were actually sending him on divine mission and furthering the dreams they wanted unfulfilled? You see, God only used them as tools. God keeps winning over Satan in our day to day encounters. Satan would plot this and God in the wisdom that Satan couldn't see would overthrow it. 

Brethren, God is in charge. He is taking thought for you and you'll see that some men will soon come under command to be used for that purpose for you. When God moves, the whole earth stands still, awaiting to receive what instruction He'll next give. It is His given instruction that plays out in His will (that must triumph) that everybody plays out. Gideon is a part player and those two soldiers are. According to ordainment, they must speak when he could hear and that was when they did. They didn't speak before or after arrival. They were slated to play their roles and when it pleases God to press "play", the dreamer is relieved from where he had been paused to begin to talk. We may also thank God for how God guided Gideon to that camp and to the specific people who had the words he needed to hear with them. Why didn't he arrive elsewhere at the at that camp and not where his word is? I'm thinking he should have gotten lost. God planned it however. Everything to the latter. Because God is involved, Gideon was guided to go in the direction where he could only find those two. Indeed, where he chose to go is where they too were. This is God's doing and it's marvellous in our sight. Unless we question why some things happen the way they are, we may not believe this reality and not regard them as booked acts that are slated to happen. Until you question why it was at forty years it now occured to Moses to visit his brethren and not any other time, you may not understand that events are usually slated and even for a time (Acts 7:23). Some things will not happen to you at any other time but at a specific chosen time. Those of you who are from ancestries where negative flows and Satanic influences are in operation would agree if researched that it is the age your father made a misstep you also made a misstep. Why, that's a cycle in operation. It has rebirthed itself over you. 

But I pray that every negation slated to evolve like a time bomb in your nearest future, let them be disarmed. May God frustrate and render powerless all dates and meets of the future that you must not keep appointment with. However, you'll be on time for divine meets and dates. As you go, divine coincidence will happen for you. Your feet will be guided to where events critical to your winning in life and fulfilling purpose shall be achieved. You won't go in vain. When you go, scheduled meetings and divine appointments are rather what you'll meet and keep. So shall it be.

PRAYER: God, send me to those with my words and divine resources.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - 22/07/2023

SATURDAY- 22ND JULY, 2023

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

HE THAT SAID OVERTAKE WILL OVERTAKE FOR YOU

I Samuel 30:8, KJV

"And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all".

Don't be one of them. One of those who carry a step nonchallantly or presumptuously. Let it be that it is a step of instruction. A step of command which you're now seen obeying. 

The truth is this, He who says overtake will overtake for you. When all was carted away, David enquired in order to pursue or refrain. He asked God if he should pursue and whether he'll overtake. God agrees to it telling him he'll have all those as his experiences. Now, the truth is this, that raiding party has long left and it is naturally difficult to decipher where they'll be. A three days journey separate both of them. However, He that says pursue and you'll overtake will always make provision for what His mouth has said in order for it to be fulfilled. This is the miracle that I love to see. This is the kind of miracle I want God to fulfill in your life so that what you hear God tells you is what you see performed sooner or later. May it be unto you just like He has said. That thing is a miracle and you'll experience one if He authors what you do. 

From a "pursue and overtake" word of God to David, he sets out and God who initiated that journey begins to take thought for him. As they journeyed, they came upon a sick one who was brought to David and revived. This sick one is however a servant to the Amalekite raider who owns him and had raided Ziklag. You see, when God is taking thoughts for you, He'll put things at different junctures for you so that His intent for you might be fulfilled. People won't know they're there for your sake. They'll be serving God given purposes to you even when they might not see how they're doing that. They'll call it coincidence or accident that your path crosses with theirs but we know that that's God's providence and orchestration. It is destiny meet and not anything less. 

What did this Egyptian say? That he's a servant to an Amalekite who had raided Ziklag and burnt it with fire but that his master had left him behind to die three days ago when he fell sick. Now, something seems not to be adding up. That Egyptian ought not to be found by David or his men alive. However, it didn't occur to his master that he could be the string by which they'll fetch him. If he had known, he would have executed him and not leave any trace behind. But it must come to pass that David pursued and overtook and recovered all. For this to happen, God made leverages for it to happen. One of such works of His is this Egyptian who had to fall sick, be left alone to die (and not murdered) but kept alive for three days and nights until he could serve the purpose for which he had fallen sick, had been left behind and forsaken to die of his own.

From there, David knew the way to this raiding party and caught them unawares. At the end, it was like God had told him. The Bible records this.

I Samuel 30:18-19, KJV

"18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.  19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

Imagine, "David recovered all".

It was as God had said unto him. People of God, let it matter to you that it is God who ordains your path before you. Let it be that it is He who authors the journey you take. Let it be that the words of His mouth are what you live out. Let it be that until He speaks, you don't move. It will be to your saving. If He authors it, you're bound to find it like He has said. Our problem may be laziness or little persistence to pray and find God's will that must be done. However, if before you run, you'll enquire, you'll be led, guided until the purpose of your enquiry is achieved. Yesterday, I told some people that God is an operator. In your journey, pursuit or journey of destiny, He knows what phase to kick-start next for you. He knows what plane to put you on next. As you near the completion of one phase, He'll anticipate and precipitate for your sake by beginning to put on ground another phase in which you must live and be carried. It is God who knows when one phase has ended in your life and when you must enter or kick-start another. So, He'll kindly make them unfold. As you're about taking the next ship to your next destination, you'll just see that it's easy. Things will just be possible. Like that Egyptian who was found at a needed time by David's men so that they might recover all - achieve their intent for launching out. In same manner, God likewise will put help, guidance and leading at necessary junctures for you. You'll just see that the opportunities to actually get that thing done is availed you but if you had tried that earlier, it wouldn't have worked. That would be because the timing was not right then though the purpose correct. 

Look at me, I am Olusola ADEJUMO, M'Wings. I am not lying but rather saying the truth. This thing I'm preaching is what has happened to me and is happening to me. I have not only read it in the Bible but it is also my experience. It became it and I can testify that if you or any work you do or any mission you undertake is the direct birthing of God, He'll see to it all until it is fulfilled. This morning, I pray for you that God will put necessary helps, guides and leadings for you where they should be. You will find men where you should find them. You'll be blessed with the gift of men and women. You will find the next ship, vessel or transport system to take which will lead you to where God has destined. That Egyptian was that to David. That was the ship they took. When they needed that ship was when it appeared because God took thought for them and had arranged it there. That was when they crossed path with him. You'll meet things at junctures where you think, "but now, I need God to show up". I remember one day I left out to check for somebody. I was using Google Map for guidance to that described neighborhood and house and I was getting it. Just then, when I got to where the house is, I discovered there's another problem in locating that person. But just then, some two kids saw me outside and said, "you are this and that. Our mother told us about you. Come in. She's on her way". That other boy who talked was in Basic 5. I was shocked at how when I needed a help and guide to take me further, one appeared. I also wondered at why they could guess I was the fellow who was told them would come. They were expecting somebody in myself but I knew that's all they knew. Even when I later met with their mother, she told me I was considerably younger than she had imagined. She thought the fellow being recommended to her would be much older. I didn't mind however. I have heard that often about myself. So, I knew no one described me to those boys but I needed to be taken further. I must not be stranded. God must take thought for me and it's a sort of miracle that it was when I reached those boys could be found outside the gate as well. I don't take even minor things for granted. When the Holy Spirit is working for my good, I know. I'm not just trying to dedicate those accomplishments to Him. He created them!

Look at me, provision has been made for you. Things will play into your hands. It'll be so in order for all that God's mouth has said may come to pass. Believe this that at your next juncture you'll be taken further until you arrive and achieve the intent of ever launching out. You're a destined child. You can't get lost. You have a destiny that's written down already and must be like that unto you. You'll be carried. Fasten your seat belt. God's next transportation system is almost here. Get ready, get ready, you will travel and travel far!

PRAYER: Father, order my steps.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - 21/07/2023

FRIDAY- 21ST JULY, 2023

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

LORD, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO!

Psalms 90:14, KJV

"O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days".

It really gripped Moses, the man of God. Look at the way he expressed himself to God with a great exclaim and heartful feeling. If there's one thing he seeks for Israel at this time, it's that He'll satisfy them early with His mercy. There's one thing being filled with God's mercy does to your soul and your body. It makes you robust and not lean. You'll be fat fleshed and buoyant on the inside. For this, he cries and suggestively prays saying, "O satisfy us early with thy mercy". 

The expression "O" also means an expression of appeal. He's actually begging God. He's pleading with Him that He should do one thing for them - to bless them early. You see, it should be our prayer that what God wants to do, He would do early. If it's financial independence, stability of health, promotion, child birth, being in purpose etc we desire, it's our prayer that we are satisfied early with it. You must know that it is not without a purpose that Moses cried. Moses just didn't open his mouth to pray that way. He did in anticipation of a consequence - "that they may rejoice and be glad all the days of their lives". Let me use an instance. Imagine someone who's looking up unto God for the fruit of the womb and has not received such for years. Do you think the fellow will have any satisfaction wherever? They may have wealth but there's none they want to comfort it with. So, they're desperately asking for satisfaction in that they'll have their own. And let me make a point, when you're not satisfied or you have an area of your life not yet fulfilled, it will tell on you and tell on other areas as well. Have you not seen people who just begin to grow lean and sickly because there's a particular thing in their lives not met. Yes, there's a missing link. Do you also think it is of no consequence when the Bible says, "hope deferred maketh the heart sick... (Proverbs  13:12, KJV). When the heart is sick, when the soul is bowed down by unhappiness, it can't but reflect on one's body and general welfare. One would just lack strength, motivation and joy to drive life. That's why a need fulfilled is as a tree of life.

"but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.. (Prov.13:12). 

It will invigorate you. You'll be filled with vigour and you'll tend to ressurect to responsibility and new life with renewed energy. Tree of life offers life. It offers mobility. Another reference to "tree of life" as literally written and not interpreted takes us back to the Garden of Eden also (Gen.2:9). Obviously he who eats it won't die any longer. However, we know that the "tree of life" as being referred to here in Proverbs is reputed for stopping decay and deterioration. Instead of being depressed, your mountain will be strong because your needs and desires are met. You won't go down. So, if a desire or need met is as a tree of life, it means it's like eating fruits or being filled with food when you've been hungry before. It'll bring about the receiving of invigoration and new energy to run and keep up with life. 

Moses prayed, "O satisfy us early with thy mercy" and then, "that we may rejoice and be glad all the days of our life". Let us stay put here. It means without being satisfied early with mercy, rejoicing all the days of one's life is automatically hindered. It means even if there are joys in other areas and there's one impediment in another which refuses to be cleared but tarry, it means one will not have joy as long as that unfulfilled desire tarries. However, if all of one's needs is met - the greatest of them which is to have soul satiation that you're living out destiny or your purpose on earth, it means you'll be happy all the days of your life. Occasionally not having food at home won't be problem because you have what is greater than that and could secure food. A man in purpose is the most secured man on earth. They don't live insecure and distracted by envy since they're doing theirs and they know it's accepted likewise before God. 

God's intention as I'm hearing this morning is that we may rejoice and be glad all the days of our lives. Due to His intention to deliver us this, He will ensure we are satisfied early with mercy. It costs God nothing to continually give you unmerited favour in the midst of  your human best possible until you get to the top of your mountain or vocation - where at a tender age, you're a governor on earth but more importantly also, in the Spirit. Why in the spirit also? It's because your throne in the spirit is what'll protect the your office and status on earth. 

God wants you to rejoice. Look at people who have everything early, their lives get better for it. No link is missing and no room is vacant in their lives. It doesn't mean they don't still encounter hardships. That's common to all man but look, they don't have a deferred desire and so are robust. They are filled to the brim with joy of being satisfied. He has daily bread. He doesn't hunger and he doesn't beg. He has shelter and he has a family that brings joy. He's living in purpose and he's touching lives. What else should we thank God for? On occasions, when such remember how much God has satiated them, all they do is to lift up their hands and sing praises and rejoice. When you're satisfied early, you consequently rejoice. That's the one permissible thing to happen to those who have been blessed, comforted, assisted, financed, sponsored this early. Once they become that early, the joy of early fulfillment will continue to grow as they walk that road. They'll continue to be bigger and bigger unto the perfect day and as far as we know, with each level of landmark, growth and ascension comes its own joy. I pray for you that you'll no longer mourn again. I am God's anointed and as He that is called to say restore, I declare that wherever you've been robbed of joy or what could have given joy to you, let there be a restoration now! It is the joy of the Lord that can become your strength - making you inflated, robust and active. Receive it. Currently, I'm seeing dew falling from above. I'm seeing it settle on you. Receive heaven's blessings. Receive a top up even on the blessings you already have but which is not complete. Any vacant space and room in your life where you've been crying to God for satisfaction over and haven't received till hitherto is met today. You're satisfied. I say you're satisfied this day with mercy that you may rejoice, celebrate and be happy all the days of your life. Nothing is wrong building one's house that early and being under one's tree. There's a joy that comes from seeing your kids and wife playfully play in your own house. Receive that. Everything that'll make you satiated and come to the stage of being fulfilled, God is rendering to you now. So shall it be. Amen!

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for sealing that area of my life and coming to meet my needs. Be praised Yahweh.
