IF YOU DO WELL

Genesis 4:6-7, KJV

"6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."

God wants you know that there's no authority that should be terror to good work. By godly ordaining, they are to commend good and fall upon evil works or seemingly ones.

Romans 13:3, KJV

"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:"

In today's reading, God commended Abel over Cain. Both of them brought offerings to the Lord but one won God's approval and so was commended while the other was corrected to emulate doing well also. God is seen as an authority whose right it is to commend or ask for more. He did just that. 

All authorities wherever they may be must know that it's their exclusive right to be terror to evil works and praiser of good works. Never feel you'll be making enemies or make your followers/workers enemies of themselves if you give commendation to one but ask the other to do better. They may see it so but that shouldn't deter you. As long as you're not biased in rewarding, then you will have a clear conscience to implement such and continually have their respect.

God while speaking to Cain said, "if you do well, will you not be accepted?" 

So, there shouldn't be any system that applauds people that doesn't do well above those that does well. If you find yourself in a system and what goes on there is the sacrifice of good for evil, then you're not well situated. Such system can destroy you and make you a man of evil intention and evil act. 

God is a very just One. He exhibited fairness where we read. God isn't partial or discriminatory like Cain by his being angry feels God is. Rather, God has just discharged as a good leader should divide between those who have done well and those who haven't. 

God said, "if you do well, will you not be accepted?  This shows God is not judging by any other standard but that of "doing well." God was saying, "don't think I hate you. If you had done well like your brother, I would have commended you." He knew God was justified over him. He knew he had not done well indeed. It pained him and he couldn't argue it with God. He knew just like God knew that he hadn't done well. Don't be one of such that it is at reward time they blame themselves for the job they could have done or done better. 

All leaders, authority figures etc must learn from God. You must know what to encourage and discourage by what you commend or withhold commendation from. When God commended Abel, God indirectly was telling him to act that way the more and not change. When God didn't commend Cain, God was saying, there's a thing to repair. Do that and you'll be accepted. For as many that are angry, feels cheated, embarrassed, discriminated against etc, because someone was righteously and sincerely commended over you by an authority figure in your lives; you must know you're not owed an apology. The question you should ask yourself is, "if I do well, will I not be accepted?"

You should rather be sorry for not doing well and seek to win approval next time. Your person, your work or act etc that was not commended was because you didn't do well. The criteria for judging is opened to all to evaluate. It is not a mystery or a thing not explainable that could justify your not being praised. Doing well wins praise. Doing contrarily demands correction. This ain't hatred but setting right!

PRAYER: I have capacity for good inside me. I exhibit same in all human endeavour. Let the Spirit of excellence that outruns multitude to win urges me on.

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Ezekiel 37:1-38:23, James 1:19-2:17, Psalm 117:1-2, Proverbs 28:1

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

LIVING JOYFULLY WHILE YOU MAY

Ecclesiastes 9:9, NIV

"9Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun--all the days of futility. For that is your portion in this life and in your work at which you toil under the sun."

You do not have time for experimentation. It is only one life you have which in every ramification must be lived to the fullest. Today, God is coming for homes and marriages. It is the intention and sweet intention of God that couples will live happily thereafter. However, many things may hamper their living joyfully as wanted.

That place admonishes men to live joyfully with their wives in the time they have to spend on earth. That place recognizes that life is short and is filled with wearying labour. Life itself with the cares to succeed can make one tired and casted down. There is nothing that seems like a reward or compensation for being here than one's spouse whom God has given one. While you therefore tarry in this momentary life of futility: which has not much to offer, you must enjoy yourself to the fullest. This ultimate satisfaction comes through living joyfully with your spouse. One way of doing that is being consoled through your wife and the wife through her husband.

You may be blessed with a good job, good things to satisfy your mouth with, build houses and study to a greater extent etc. However, all these and others don't measure the highest level of compensation you can receive during your years of futility on earth through your spouse. The picture of heaven on earth is a good home where the couple lives joyfully reciprocally. It won't be good living in clamour, arguments, and strivings with one's spouse in this fleeting life of toil. Tell me, what's in the world to enjoy within the short moment you have to spend here if not beautiful moments with the one called "lover"? Now that God has given or will give you a spouse to enjoy, shouldn't you enjoy it to the fullest? Shouldn't you explore it to the fullest?

It is unfortunate however that where the Lord wants many people's joy to come from, it is rather sadness that oozes from there. Where the Lord wants them to be strong, they are weak. Just imagine, the Lord wants you live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your life (which flies away very soon) and can't be compared to eternity and yet you're just trying to coast along. Have you not cheated yourself like this? God intends joy for you yet you're living in sorrow and great hurt daily. The regret that fills your heart is like a deep gorge in you.

There is nothing a man can take as a reward in this life and in his lifetime that's the highest of what God intends to give him except his spouse. You may be fulfilling purpose but there will be moments when you will long to cheer yourself through a man or woman. That's where a life of joy with one's spouse comes in.

Proverbs 5:18,KJV

"Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth."

This place confirms it again. Instead of rejoicing, many homes are down casted. May you be lifted up.

Change the plans for living with your spouse. You deserve joy. If God intends it for you; then you really need it.

PRAYER: Lord, I redeem my marriage from all things contrary to joy. 

BIBLE IN A YEAR:1 Kings 12:20-13:34, Acts 9:26-43, Psalm 132:1-18, Proverbs 17:6

SIN LIES AT THE DOOR

Read Genesis 4:1-7

Genesis 4:6-7, KJV

"6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."

Sin lies at the door. Why is it lying there? Has it come to stay there in vain? Obviously no.

In today's reading, Cain and Abel brought their offerings to the Lord. Abel and his offering were accepted but Cain and his were rejected. God is like a kind of father here that commends one and has the right to tell the other not to give up but strive to do better. God did just that. You must know that in the Father's house and as a Christian, we don't lose our rewards. You may have been doing good, don't be weary because everything is in record. The store will be opened to you one day. 

Now, when Abel was commended by God over Cain, Cain was displeased. It's normal for one's flesh to feel that way. We all want the spotlight to be on us. It's not interesting seeing your younger sibling or junior at work for instance winning the attention from those who gives it while you take the back seat. This has been the cause of sibling rivalry. When somebody does well and one doesn't do well, the other who doesn't do well may feel uneasy. That can be properly channeled however by striving to be better next time. One can disallow what could come after that which is negative from happening. That was what God was telling Cain. He was saying, "will you not be accepted if you do what's right but if you don't, sin lies at the door."

The possibility of sin coming in is very sure and it did for Cain. After he was displeased, he didn't keep watch. That led to bitter envy and contention. He motivated his brother for a walk and killed him there. He was bitterly jealous from the acceptance and commendation Abel received which he was dying to receive but didn't have. All of us must know that the sin the Bible says crouches or crawl at the door here is like Satan who is described as a roaring lion who seeks who to devour. That's the aim of the sin at the door. 

I Peter 5:8, KJV

" Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

It looks for whom to prey on if any opens the door to it.  The people this teaching is addressing are those that seems hurt. God is saying, be watchful less you do the desire of sin or Satan. God warned Cain that the chances are high if you continue this way. You can't but yield to sin and he did eventually. Have you being offended, the chances are high if you won't let go to do something that will sell you out into the hands of Satan.

Don't forget this, "sin crouches at the door. It's desire is to have you but you must master it by refusing its entrance."

PRAYER: I receive healing over hurts, offences, injuries. I am made whole. All doors for sin to enter or for Satan to pounce on me are shut!

BECAUSE IT IS YOURS FROM THE LORD

Read I Kings 1, 2:1-15

I Kings 2:15, KJV

"And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD."

Now, when it comes to serious matters, it should be left serious. That was what I expected from Adonijah. He shouldn't agree with someone that contested the throne with him. Meanwhile, Adonijah owned up. He said something that kept rotating in my mind: "you know I ought to be king [being the eldest living son] but the table turned and Solomon is now king because it is his from the Lord. Full stop! You could see him mourning and trying to attract sympathy. This is where this scripture below is fulfilled. 

John 3:27, KJV

"...a man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven."

It departed from him because it is not his from heaven. Naturally, he ought to be king. Even, the whole of Israel was anticipating him being king but all hinges on, "is it his from the Lord?" This question should keep you humble and restrict you from striving unnecessarily. There are many who had strove for what was not released unto them from above until it was to their peril like it eventually became for Adonijah.

In yesterday's devotional, I mentioned the reality of your name being tagged on something. Once that happens, it will be reserved for you. It will await you. It's that same thing that Adonijah couldn't debate successfully here. He confessed in truth and didn't lie that it was Solomon's from the Lord.

Now, let me ask you. Who should be at peace with you - your friend or enemy? Your friend, but Adonijah that the matter of being enthroned has made an enemy of the king [Solomon] still confessed the truth. He opened up. 

Saint in Christ, what is yours from the Lord may currently be under contest. That of Solomon was. As a matter of fact, the Bible recorded that Adonijah exalted himself and said, "I will be king." That statement immediately reminds you of the devil. These two are usurpers of the throne. He not only confessed, "I will be king" but he conferred with many notables, performed the rites of kingship and was installed as one. But from his own words, "the kingdom turned away from him" and the reason for that was given. Wherever you get to where there's a vacant position to fill, you'll find he that the office is his from the Lord and he that wants to scheme his way to the office. Meanwhile, let the heathen rage. Let the hills be removed and be planted in the sea; you can go to sleep over God's declaration. "What is yours from the Lord, no one can take" is what I'm professing by God's Spirit. This issue isn't one to disdain. Do you know how many people have been cheated by powers greater than they? Some have even lost their spouses to another. I'm telling you of the reality in our world. But I speak as a sent prophet to you user of today's devotional that the Lord that kept the throne for Solomon will be jealously obligated to keep what should be yours and yours alone for you. They may agitate, wanting to have a share of it or even collect it wholly but the Strength of Israel won't allow. Through today's devotional, God is  teaching you two things however. 

1. Distinguish between what is yours from the Lord and what is not. God is obligated to keeping such for you. On that, He'll fight men for your sake. 

2. Don't exalt yourself where you've not been exalted. Don't go near what God makes your neighbour's. If you do, God will resist you for the sake of your neighbour.

It is do unto others what you'll want them do unto you. Is it not better to take a humble position and then be called to come up hither? Should you make yourself king or they should make you one like David instructed they make Solomon to ride on his own mule? What an embarrassing thrusting of oneself forward for Adonijah!

Adonijah brought the greatest disgrace of all time on himself by wanting to make himself king when he that God is working through (David, his father who has even not suffered him of anything before was not crowning him). Here, David is a type of God that knows whose right it is and can't be taught whose right it should be. That's why Adonijah boycotted all the righteous authorities and collaborated a mutiny with those who have shown themselves disloyal to David. Yet, despite the fact that he was older than Solomon and people anticipated his being king, the kingdom still departed to Solomon.  

You have an Administrator who maintains your lot. Your lot is that portion God earmarked or blessed you with. That's what He calls your own. 

Psalms 16:5, KJV

"The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot."

If there be one like that to keep watch over your portion and to separate between your portion and your neighbour's, then you should be sure that all you've committed to Him can't miss nor be marauded. Wherever you've been exercising fear, go and be assured that the Lord is the One that manages your lot. He did for Solomon until what was his became his.

PRAYER: I commit to you all that is mine. Maintain my lot. All contest over what is mine ends today.

WHERE HAVE YOU PREPARED FOR ME?

Mark 14:13-15, KJV

"13 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. 14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us."

One day,  a minister was burdened for ministry and was praying to God to situate him and site his ministry on ground.  As he prayed, he was saying, "God, where have you prepared for us?"  He was saying this and praying this prayer as a thing that occupies all his heart when that passage of the Bible I quoted above was ministered to his heart. 

Are you looking for a place? Are you in search of a house to indwell? Do you want to start something by the Lord's commission and you want a place that will be free of trouble, losses, evil, etc that only God could prepare? You can receive your answer if you'll receive through this teaching. In essence, if you're in anticipation of a thing or person but you want it to be the prepared thing or person, God gives that. 

Jesus wanted to eat the passover and without keeping appointment with anyone ahead of time, He instructed His disciples to go to a place. He described their meeting a man carrying a pitcher. He told them to follow him into whatsoever house he enters and asks the owner of that house to show them the guest chamber where He'll eat the passover with His disciples. To my surprise, the exotic demand of Jesus was met. Jesus even said the owner of the house will show them a large, furnished and made ready place.

The reality is that what is yours from the Lord in the spirit can be seen and received as yours in reality. There's always a place prepared for us all. Now, if Jesus kept no appointment with this people and they did not keep with Him, how did they make preparation of that place ahead of time for use of someone they didn't know? That's God's business and dealing with those Jesus sent His disciples to. Look, may God deal with people on your behalf. If you do, you can't turn things. If He does, even if it is their last bread, like it was in the hands of the widow of Zarephath, they'll prioritise you and make for you first of all even when it concerns matters of life and death.  

Jesus has not gotten there yet he knew and had the assurance that a place has been prepared for him and was speaking like one who has already possessed it with high boast. What a thing! May you find each thing that has been prepared for you. 

On this journey of faith, if we won't be beaten, battered and turned down, we must ask God to do only one thing for us: lead us where He has prepared for us. I found out that if a thing is prepared, it is made ready and totally made fit for you to come and occupy. Jesus was not turned down because that guest chamber had his name on it in the spirit. He went to where He should go. He made demands on the right person. You too can propose to the right person. That's when they'll say yes. 

Who knows however whether that guest chamber was dirty? Who knows whether they had left it unoccupied for long but something just rose in the mind of the owner of that house to give instructions to clean that forlorn guest chamber? Even his children and the servants might have asked, "daddy, for what reason and he could have said, just clean it. I'm feeling we should and get every place clean."

Did you see? There will be moments that the body of people will be doing something unintentional to them because God is moving them to get ready for someone or something. There have been people who went to the market, cooked a special delicacy or acquired a property not because they needed it but because they're just being troubled or persuaded to do so. It was after they did that the fellow whose is it arrives and such is released to him. I heard a scripture. 

Ezekiel 21:27, KJV

"I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him."

If a thing is for you and has been prepared for you, it is one like a material with a name tag on it. No one will touch it. People may not know why they're not picking interest in it. I have heard over and over testimonies of how ministries come to possesses some lands. God will just do something that will make others not to see value in what God has prepared as value for you. For anyone awaiting the prepared of the Lord which includes a spouse, may the Lord continue to over turn until what is yours from the Lord is yours in reality. 

PRAYER: I thank You Lord for taking thought for me ahead. What is mine, none can possess.

SEE THAT THE LORD IS FAITHFUL

Read Exodus 2:1-9

Exodus 2:4-5, KJV

"4 And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.5 And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it."

Do you know that the Lord is faithful? The heathen must know and cover their mouth with their hands. Saints in Christ must see and to Him glory. 

Look, if there's no hand to receive you, one hand won't let you fall. Even before your arrival, He takes thought of you. 

The case of Moses reveals a God that won't let you be stranded wherever and at whatever time. It doesn't matter those who are watching how your end would look.  If no strand of hair falls off without God's knowing, it means nothing happens to you without God's acknowledgement and permission first of all also. From this, you should draw assurance that you're always in the hands of God even if you're alone now.

Moses was just a baby. His own case is worst than Joseph's. Joseph was an adolescent sold into slavery though without parents or one to point to as a familiar face. He however was not forsaken as a baby but someone who could resist. Moses when he was dropped by the river found himself in a bad condition than Joseph. He was not only without parents but defenseless since he was just three months old. What can a baby do if an ant or snake crawls on him? If we agree he's against these protected, what will he do if a hand comes to collect him away? He wouldn't have resisted. That's why God ensured Moses fell into the right hands.

To test whether God is faithful or not, one character proved God for us though she did out of curiosity. Moses' sister wouldn't go. Something held her still to continue to watch this season movie and see where it would end and where Moses would fall. She therefore hide herself in the bush at a vantage where she could see any transaction happening to baby Moses. What a connection between the siblings. Blood is powerful indeed. It brings two or more together in unbreakable bond. 

While she watches, she saw in princely garments a figure arriving at the river. What could this mean? That's how the woman drew Moses from the water. As the contemplation was going on, she came out and suggested if her royalty would need a nurse. Yours truly, that's how the boy's mother nurses her own child. Imagine that! When it seems there was no hope, God rose one for Moses and preserved a prophet for Israel. Is it not because of situations like this that we have a scripture like the one below written for our exhortation.

Psalms 27:10, KJV 

"When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

Don't forget that clause, "the Lord will take me up." If that's the only verse you remember when you're deserted but surrounded, you'll beat the devil cyclically again and again. Are you a student on campus that sponsors send to school but who no longer receives support from them? It may not be to their joy but don't forget God will take you up. Adoption is a reality. I was adopted on campus by many parents. Different people put money down at different times I needed it. My father had passed on and the burden was just too heavy on my Mama. 

Are you a missionary or minister who's forlorn in the field? Is the quarterly widow's mite promised you not coming again? The Lord will take you up. Wherever and on whatever you feel this is the end; may I announce, that's the beginning. 

My Father, you're the One I cry unto day and night. You also freely gave Jesus to us. If you gave this your best, will you withdraw any other good thing from us? Will you not rather freely give us all things to enjoy? I affirm it can't but be. I pray for all forlorn and those at a juncture where like Moses' sister watches what will become of themselves and their situations. It may look like you're in the midst of the sea and you're drowning. You might even have taken some gulps of water but salvation that arises in Zion for Israel shall arise for you today. When you're in no man's land, at the verge of being finished or on the road of being ended, help in time of need: the immediately immediately help shall come your way. If Pharaoh's daughter didn't miss her time but hearkened to God to move to the saving of Moses when an invisible hand stirred her up, none will miss his time to be where you need help. 

PRAYER: Your faithfulness is proven. Moses' sister waited and saw it. I am waiting, let me see it.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

WHEN IT IS COMING FROM "I HAVE TRIED BEFORE"

Read Luke 5:1-9

Luke 5:4 - 5, KJV

"4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net."

Today's devotional title is the excuse and reason for which many people don't try again. They'll say, "I've done that before. This same thing you just said, I worked it but nothing happened". 

Tell any who's too tired  to try again that he can't as well see the difference for which he had afore tried (though they may be said to be humanly understood for not wanting to try again). Let me ask, do you want all the labour you've done in the past to be vain labour eventually? Yes, it is vain labour eventually if you don't persist until you see the result for which you had first tried. You might have failed 100 times but if you succeed once, that lone achievement will swallow the 100 times of futility.

In today's reading, Jesus told Peter to let down his nets for a catch. His response was that of a tired, spent and discouraged man. He told Jesus point blank that he had tried before and despite the maximal time of trying, he caught nothing. He told Jesus how bad it was. "We caught nothing though we worked really well all night!" This is where people's labour don't equalize their result.  In labour, Peter and co didn't fail but in result, something was not adding up for them. Be delivered from such!

However, in order not to be blamed for being disrespectful or having taken the anointed for granted, he reluctantly agreed to let it down. When he did, he was not curious for result because he had proven that same act not to be result yielding all night. So, he was not in any way expectant. Let us imagine what would have happened if when he finally reluctantly let down the net, nothing happened. He could have hissed and said, "I said it. I'm a master in this thing. I just did that to satisfy you." We all know he let down the nets not because he indeed believed but actually to please Jesus. That's why he said "but at thy word." He was trying to create a ground not to be held responsible if things don't work. He excluded himself from the process of active participation.

Meanwhile, God proved him wrong. It was a large yield for Peter. His not believing in a thing happening in the first place added to what created such huge shock in him when he saw the net breaking and ship sinking miracle. That's why he knelt in humble submission and deviation from his pride of "I tried all night. I know what I'm saying" to saying, "I'm a sinful man" [Luke 5:8-9].

Have you also tried before? Have you had the futile result of Peter? Being a master and one who has expertise report over that thing, are you drawing a conclusion with that? For having tried and reaped nothing, are you saying, "I won't attempt again?" Are you by that disregarding the anointed or a stirring in your heart to try again?

This time is different from other times. When you tried those times, it was without a Word from God but now the anointing is easing things to bring you result. Have you failed an exam many times? Have you lost pregnancies? Are you tired of giving love to your spouse again because children have not manifested from it? Are you just tired of repeating that act because you've come to the realization that it didn't work these much times? God is saying, try again but AT MY WORD!

Noah didn't relent in sending out scouts. Finally, a dove came back with good news of the water having abated [Genesis 8:11].

I pray for you that you'll have a testimony this time. Life answers to authorities. The authority that asked Peter to cast the net was the One that gave the fish. Always ask yourself at whose word what you're doing is being done. If God is in it, even if the result has not come, it is not that it won't come but that it is oncoming. 

Experience differently on that note. Your going out is not like other times and so you can't reap as at other times. This interview will be different. Peter failed and failed because he had no assisting words at those times but at the declaration of the anointed, fish that were no where to be found gathered. I pray that your result will gather. The cloud will gather for you and result shall rain for you now. Now! 

PRAYER: Lord, I receive forgiveness where I've subtly disregarded You and taken your prophet a liar. I receive at Your Word now. I'm open to You.
