BECAUSE IT IS YOUR SEASON

Read Psalm 1

Psalms 1:3, KJV

"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

The righteous is like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth his fruit in his season. What your gaze must be fixed on is _"that brings forth his fruits in his season."_ Do you know some things won't just yield unless their seasons come. If you know this, you'll quickly be hastened as a Christian to discern and separate between what you can accrue any time any day and what can only be received in its season.

There is a thing like " _the day, the time or the season_ ." If it is not the season for a leaf to fall off its branch, it won't fall unless you pluck it off. If it's not day for the sun to shine or night for the moon to peep out, you won't see either. Though they both wanted to be seen at the peak of their performances, yet they stick to the rule of their seasons. Season naturally calls you into manifestation even without your taking thought for it. That's why you have to pray that your season will come upon you. It is not age that determines season but the ordaining of God and how cooperative we are with God on our personal journey. Some by their own acts are delaying or postponing the ripening of their seasons though it has been afore fixed that they manifest or bring forth someday. Stop sinning, stop not putting preparation in place for the D-day.

If that tree bears fruits in its own season, the message is that you must bring forth at your season. It means some things must happen or be fulfilled upon you because of their time which has mature and is fixed. You're not destined not to be productive. You carry in you the seed that gives birth. That place says, "he brings forth HIS FRUIT in his season." Did you see? Some fruits were allotted to him. That is, whether he likes it or not, he must bring forth something which is his. God has destined you too to bring forth. Unless seasons come for some things, no matter how you try, you can't force result. If at your season, you however are not productive, then there's an attack and a curse of the devil hindering that. I break it off you in Jesus name. What did the Bible say here?

Psalms 102:13, KJV

"Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come."

Why would God arise? ...because that fixed time has come. That's all. Nothing added and nothing removed. Singularly, that's the reason for God's coming through for Zion. Are you not Zion today? Your season has come. If it's your season for it to happen or be done, it means it can't be hindered because things must answer at their seasons. A law is there and an angel watches over your season to ensure that it is kept. You won't miss seasons! I pray for you, because your season has come, you'll be productive in your calling and career. You'll be favoured, sought after and things would happen for you faster and better than you've been labouring to make happen. Alas, the season has come upon you. Result can't be hindered again because the Law and the Lord of seasons are watching to perform to you in your season. 

PRAYER: Lord, help me by early discovery not to miss seasons. Restore to me any missed season/opportunities. Watch over my season with jealousy for accomplishment of purpose.

THE CHILD OF MY VOWS - Vow Series 011

Proverbs 31:1-4, KJV

"1 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. 2 What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows? 3 Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. 4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink."

There's a thing like the child of my vows. It may be a son or a daughter but a child of vows is basically this. It is such child that you pray to God to have. It should be noted that many vowed when they got to the last bus stop - where what should work or was working for others didn't work for them. So, they prayed to God to receive what was natural receiving for others. At least, we have seen Hannah exemplifies this. Penninah didn't pray to have all her children. As the husband knows her, she was conceiving but for someone like Hannah, it didn't work that way. In thorough search and desire for a child, she made a vow. She hooked up with God in an agreement. She's demanding God to be obligated to her. So, Samuel is a fitting child of vows. The child of your vows is an answer to prayer and then a child of dedication. Those who get children from supposed gods or goddesses are another example of this. That child is a dedicated child to that spirit. He or she must return constantly to do oblation to that spirit and acknowledge its lordship over him. That same spirit protects that child and sees to his or her things. That spirit could even be giving her demonic results and assistance over her peers. Why? She's not alone. She's not her owner. A being has a responsibility over her as long as she keeps what was vowed. 

There's no child of vow that is not born into an obligation. This is where parents must not be at fault but rather call them into such obligation which hovers on them and runs ahead of them. These verses are inspired passage that a mother taught her son. Debates have been ongoing that it was taught King Solomon while another says King of Massa. Irrespective of who this was taught, such was a child of vows and the mother or queen mother was such a responsible one. 

She admonished this young man and king not to give his strength to women nor indulge in drinking. These are the pitfalls of males. If you find a male who never has been entangled sexually before, God be praised. Many at early stage of their lives begin to entangle themselves with the opposite sex. They get distracted and they're slowed down from pursuing destiny and reaching destination faster. Any who gives his strength to women is such that has made chasing girls his hobby. You could call him a high ragamuffin who does girls. Not only that, he also does drinks. He takes all sorts of hard drinks to prove he's a real man. What a deception! All these are characteristics of many men without. That mother warned her child, no, no King Lemuel, this isn't a path for you to thread. The mother intimately called him by saying, "hearken to me the child of my vows." That he was a child of vows means he can't live the life he wanted. He has to live a leaned down life, consecrated life, separated life and vowed life. There's no child of vows that doesn't have a mandate. As he or she is being born, he is born into that mandate and that's what he grows up into. Just like this Queen mother called King Lemuel to the expectation and mandate over him, God is also calling you to a fact that, "it is not for you to do certain things or live certain life." If it was not for Lemuel to give her strength to women or indulge in hard drinks, if you're such a special child, prayed for before receiving, you ought to know you shouldn't be a disgrace and eye sore to your parents who thirst a lot before God granted you to them. Always live in the jurisdiction of the vows. That's your safety. Doing this, you won't be an eye sore to your parents nor to God but instead their comfort. 

PRAYER: Pray for all children of vows who are under siege of the devil that God would retrieve them.

THE WAY HE SHOULD GO - Vow Series 010

Proverbs 22:6, KJV

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

There's a way he should go. "Should" is a verb showing by necessity what your child is obligated to. It has been concluded before his arrival. Your child is not being consulted which way to go because you already have learnt what the way is, why it is good and the best and how to order him in that (God's) way, so much more that he'll be a man or woman of character and charisma on the earth. 

"The way he should go" also reveals a way amidst many ways. Despite the many options, alternatives etc that's available, there's a way he should go. It means while he's obligated to being godly, he's freed from being ungodly. While he's obligated to being groomed a responsible citizen, he's freed from being a ruckus causer and disturber of community peace. 

That's why the Bible says, "there's a way that seems right to man but the end thereof is destruction."

What way is the Bible speaking of here? The other way! The way your child should not go and must not go. It is the road that God believes your child should not be obligated to and is not obligated to as long as you have being a fan and disciple of the way "he should go" from your own childhood (as taught you by your own parents) while same that you were taught and have known is now what you're teaching and ordering him into follow. That's the safety valve God Almighty is relying on.  

Also, God has not left us unguided. He has left us with a pareklotos, a map, compass and guide to quickly arrive at our destination without doing trial and error. The way they should go was a found, tested and approved way. No one goes that path that regrets. It is His mercy to show us the way amidst many and it's our responsibility and to our saving to take same. That's why that place says, "the way they should go." He has shown us what to cling to in order to have a quick arrival at destination that would shock the world. 

"The path that child should go" if he's consulted may not be the one he wants to go. The child may not even see sense in it if you leave him to get another education and experience before kick starting the training of the way he should go by "adolescent." But God is putting all rights of path discovery in the hands of the parents who should have known better in God's will now as to order their child in the way he should go. 

Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes unto the Father except by me." To get unto the Father, you must pass through Him. To reach, achieve or fulfill the part of that verse that says, "and he will not depart from it when he's old", you must first of all fulfill A which is, " train up a child in the way he should go." Parents, do you know the way? The way should be clear to you so that a remnant could be preserved for the Lord in this our world. So that when God wants to disclose a matter that concerns all on the earth, He'll find your children qualified like Abraham whom God couldn't hide what he was about to do from and Noah, the righteous (last man standing) whom God disclosed the coming destruction to. On the earth, your children should be the ones receiving direct signal and catching same young from the Lord. They should be the preachers and spreaders of same and not another telling them what the Lord is doing, might do or will do. It shows they're not in tune. It shows they've not known God neither have they being brought up in any relationship with Him. This is a loss. "A loss" the spirit of the Lord is putting in my mouth to call it!

It is the desire of parents, all parents it should be that their children would follow the way they pointed them to. They have discerned the way though some parents also discovered very late. On that basis, they do not want their children experiment with life and be burnt before choosing the way they "should follow." So, they'll point them to that already worked for way (one they discovered) so that their years and life would be saved only for purposeful living on earth. No one has lived who lived his life in sin. Any life outside Christ is a loss.  

God also wants to replicate the process and so he's counting on you to know the way so that when you train up your child in the way they should go and do not depart from it, they might be able as well to train their own wards in the way they should go without those ones also departing from it. Now, may I ask? What sort of process is set in motion? A chain process. This is how God intends we multiply and populate the earth with Himself so that the knowledge of God would cover the earth like waters cover the sea. Any family that fails in training up a child in the way he should go has lost to Satan a particular number of souls now or in the future. Except there's intervention, the loss may continue from generation to generation. This is why the cry and emphasis of God is that you'll try, endeavour, give all attention to details to train your child in the way he should go. That "way" is not hidden. It is in the Bible (the revealed will of God to man). It is what we go to church to hear. It is what the preachers of doctrine and God's revelation preach often. This way is not hidden. You know it. Live it and let it be lived by your wards.

PRAYER: Lord, I have endeavour to train my child in the way they should go. Hold their arms to walk the road consistently. I have a revelation of this way fully.

HE WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT - Vow Series 009

Proverbs 22:6, KJV (emphasis mine)

"Train up a child [of vow] in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

This is one of the places where the Bible speaks with such finality. Why would the Bible insinuate both covertly and overtly that he'll never depart from it even at adulthood when he would seem to have gotten sense to discern between good and wrong and to make choices for himself. Despite having such liberty at hand, he won't depart from it because that training given him in childhood bears down on him. It is a training that has weight and weighs down on him. The Spirit divine illustration coming to my mind is a drag net with lead fixed to it. If you throw such into the water, the lead which is made of a sort of metal would allow it depress into water and stay there. Even if the net would have loved to float or come afloat, the lead would refuse it and constrain it by a great compelling stronger than the net's to stay still and stay still under the water. Hear me, that's what happens to any adult who has been trained in the way he should go in childhood. That training would bear him down and make him a lover and doer of not many things but only a way and that's the way he was opened to deliberately some years back. If that way is bad and you abuse him for being a bad adult, the fault is not very much his but those who form him into a deficient adult. It is not left in the hands of a child to train himself. He is only obligated to receive and obey instructions. Somebody originates and issues them to him. So, why an adult has been tied down into the doing and the repetitive doing of that thing is because having done it over time, over the year, from childhood to adolescent and then to adulthood, it has been registered in his brain's hardest core and then his heart where God's Word resides to be a man of only that way. That registration like second nature is now what orders him. He will always find it hard to rebel against that once upon training. That's why Paul cried, in Romans  7:23-24, "23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"

Did you see the lamentation of an adult who has grown massively in the undesirable way than the proper way. He'll struggle for balance. His smooth journey would be hampered. He'll stumble, rise, stumble, rise, stumble and even when grace aids him, marks of yesteryears would still bear witness to a life lived in the flesh or of the other training. The Bible is saying, people, forget it. This one is a forgone conclusion. We can settle on it. Once your part as parents is done to attach lead to this net, throw him into any body of water, it would only know one thing to do and what's it? To drown and go down. He becomes a man of one thing. He would lack insight and opinions of other ways to follow though here they are rightly placed before his sight. A lady would be shaking her booties before him but he won't even discern it as seduction. It won't just occur to his mind and it is because he has not learnt sin consciousness. As a righteous, he sees all things as righteous. It won't even move him so much more that the seducer would be confused and in anger asks if he never for once takes notice of her. Only such seducer knows the weight of the disappointment and not this adult whose training of the way he's in now has borne and left a mark of possession or ownership on. When the Bible says, "you, train a child in the way he should go and when he's old, he'll never depart from it". It means I present a truth to you that is absolutely true. Even if we have examples today of those you know who claimed to have trained their children well yet they departed from that road, that example or many more of ministers who have the most devilish and anti Bible children still don't violate this truth. God is saying, we have drawn the curtain that no one could improve on this instruction. The result after training a CHILD, not an adolescent or adult in the way a CHILD should go is that he'll remain there like the faithful dog who stays with the hunter. The problem we're having is that we have substituted this instruction. Train children in the way to go and the blessing and consequence was given - at old age they won't depart. Yet, who we train are adults and adolescents. Those who already have a wisdom, way of life that's not God's or that of the way or the vow. Imagine. You're now proving God wrong and calling him a liar. You better make good of this instruction rightly if you'll eat the good of it.

WHEN HE IS OLD - Vow Series 008

Proverbs 22:6, KJV (emphasis mine).

"Train up a child [of vow] in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

When the Bible says, "train up a child in the way he should go"; when did it intend the training should start? Childhood; not adolescence or adulthood. The problem we pastors especially are facing now is that many people in church have not being trained at all yet they are adults. What danger does it pose? It means they may escape that intended training for the rest of their lives because they may not bring the attention, believability, humility and blankness of a child to it. A child would believe everything hook, line and sinker. An adult would question it. Tell me, if the content is right, who will grow faster? Where the knowledge an adult already has in his head is blocking him from receiving that which is correct and is the original content, what would happen to a child? He would have learnt it even by heart and would have put it into practise while the adult is sacrificing believability and caution in order not to fall into error or be misguided. 

All these and many more is why that verse says, "train a child (of VOW) in the way he should go and when he's old, he'll never depart from it." That training must start very early. Hannah had discovered this truth and she wouldn't allow Samuel to have had another education in his mind before sending him off to the College of Priesthood. If she did, his growth would be hampered even if he'll eventually get it right. The first knowledge and way of life might even be distraction to him. I'll give you an instance. Imagine a prostitute who's now born again. Compare her to a lady who has never tasted sex before nor have links to such. Which of them will find it difficult living a chaste life or might be at risk of backsliding into sexual sin and so need greater wisdom and caution to remain on the right path? Obviously the prostitute. That's the exact thing which is unfortunate that happens when we delay the training of our children to when they become even adolescents. Now, don't be comforted yet. Some of you are beginning to say at least it is not too late starting at 7. What are you saying? You're late. If you see what 7 year old footballers are doing in the academy, you'll know it's a lie to postpone the education and training of your child to adolescent or to worsen things adulthood. Training a child in the way a child should go starts from babyhood to childhood etc. The Bible was not mistaken when it says, "TRAIN A CHILD." An adolescent is no longer a child. In this world, the world is already at his finger tips. If he wants to watch pornography, he knows where to go without needing you or consulting you. If he were a child, even if he has that thing call phone, he'll bring it to you and still sheepishly but innocently and ignorantly tell you, "mummy, I want to watch pornography." He or she would mention it because he yet doesn't understand what that word means or what he said he wanted to do though he picked it up from somewhere. An adolescent and one who has lost shamefacedness knows it would be shame if my godly parents find such with me. 

Do you now see what we are saying? Brethren, you're instructed to train your child and especially that child of vow (who has a definite way of life he must be ordered into) but the training has been secluded and frozen for childhood. Anytime beyond that, you may as well forget having the overall influence over them. Satan might have become their captain and it might become too late for God who nothing is impossible for doing a thing because you've chosen to incapacitate Him. We train a child in the way he should go but rather remind an adult the way he was trained to go. Do the first before you do the second. The second is a building on the structure of the first.

TRAIN A CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHOULD GO - Vow Series 007

Proverbs 22:6, KJV

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

May you not misconceive the Bible. Some believe we humans are victims here on earth and we have no say in the universal things neither do we have anything as responsibility that God may regard. God said, "train up a child in the way he should go." Who's to train? The parents! It means God is giving the training of a child he released on earth to parents for the overall benefit of Himself. It also means you have the wherewithal, capacity, knowledge bank and all empowerment to make this child go in the way he should go. The idea is, since you were once trained in the way you should go, it will not be alien training your issues in the way they should go. God relies on this chain to continue in order to produce a God-like community on earth. 

You, your responsibility is to find out the way, path, field, course , mandate or calling that child should be immersed into. God is now saying if I call him to be an astronaut, bring the attention of a parent who has vowed that the boy would become an astronaut to it. How would they strive to make him an astronaut because they want to fulfill their vow? In all ways, they'll go full length like Hannah did by separating Samuel to that life. It is by giving him such education that would groom him for that life. 

Look, God has handed over, committed to and transferred to parents the sole work and responsibility of raising children in a way that has already being revealed, tested to be whole and proven to be benefiting which is in the Bible or that the Holy Spirit might inspire. This includes character formation and gift development of your children. Your child can be a soldier and still be clothed in meekness. He can be a politician and yet be a prophet with outworking of the word of knowledge and wisdom. Mind you, any way of life, path of life that the Holy Spirit would inspire to ordain for your children of vow would never be contradictory to the written and the revealed desire of God as mandate over every child that would one day grow up into a wholesome adult. God may tell you this child would be a hacker. Train him in the  way of one but don't mistaken or think the Spirit was saying, make him a black hacker. The Holy Spirit won't breathe, inspire a training, way of life that's opposite God or that would do truth and all God stands for damage. 

So, I want you see your sacred calling and that parenting is actually helping God to achieve a purpose on earth. You should ask yourself. That instruction, "train a child in the way he should go and when he's old, he'll not depart from it", from whom did it come to us? It might have been uttered by a human but it was by God's inspiration through which the Bible was authored. So, it was God instructing and sending all those who are parents or would be parents an errand they should deliver. So, find the way and set the face of that child towards that way. You'll see that part B of that verse can't but be fulfilled. Fill them, harness them, set the pace for them and they'll stay there for eternity.

PRAYER: I raise my hand to make a solemn promise of giving the attention of having vowed my child away to train him/her. God help my resolution.

MARRY YOUR BELIEF!

 MARRY YOUR BELIEF 

When God comes to you to qualify you as the unqualified, may you not disqualify yourself. Aaah, that's a great prayer put within the cleft of my heart for you. May you be fitted. Grace qualifies you but you can still reject grace. When mercy is being extended to you like this, you could still make fun of it even if it would be because of ignorance. When the sceptre was extended to Esther, that was an act of mercy. If she however didn't take it by touching its tip, she would have been treated like one who still didn't find mercy (like one the sceptre was not for once stretched to). You must accept God's provision for you to be preserved. If any rejects it, he gets condemned though he was provided for and included for preservation in God's salvation package. So, I'll say all sinners should repent for it is not the will of the Father that ye be lost. Receive the whole truth that Christ commends His love to you while you were yet sinners. He died for you!

When God's dispatch (those two angels) arrived in Sodom, they told Lot after their confirmation and establishment of what is truth that he should hurry up and get himself, family, whatsoever and whomsoever belongs to him still left in the city out of it because the Lord has planned its overthrow. To Lot, it didn't sound too high or whiskey. At least, he had learnt God's ways from Abraham. He believed that and he moved in fear to go seek the two people that he could call his. Look at mercy. Not that they have become his properly but one's daughter's husband to be is still one's. He went after his sons-in-laws to be. Lot has two virgin daughters and these were their fiancés. Let's hear desperate and concern Lot speak to persuade them.

Genesis 19:14, ESV

"So Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, “Up! Get out of this place, for the Lord is about to destroy the city.” But he seemed to his sons-in-law to be jesting."

What response did he get? Mockery, scoffing and jesting. They scoffed at him. They were just looking at him and wondering whether papa was alright. Everything he said was like, "common, this can't happen. Destruction from heaven, from God. Where would it come from? It's just impossible." They added all together and it still didn't sum up to them. Did they not have a record of God once destroying the earth? So, they waved it off. They called it an impossibility.

Did you see mercy come for them but they were not yet persuaded? Mercy wanted them to leave the city and not be partakers in the wrath to come but they didn't still heed. Now, why didn't they heed? Why brethren? Their belief! It was fundamentally and totally different from that of Lot. That's why I said in the beginning that they were not even qualified first time but because they were related to Lot and we know it is an established rule in the Bible that God would spare sinners because of a believer, so God decided to save them with Lot's household. Yet, they disqualified themselves. Their not being of one belief with Lot made them share in the communal wrath of Sodom and Gomorrah. God had appeared to Lot in the flesh as two men who knew God's counsel. They told same to Lot who believed but when he told them same, they scoffed and took him for a jester. I'll like you see something with me. Their rejection revealed what Lot's daughters would be facing at home if they eventually marry these heathens. When they say this, Lot's daughters would say that. If Lot's daughters say, "dear, do you know I saw an angel?" He'll say, "it's your fever bringing blurred vision." You see, contradictions would then lead to confusion. Lot's daughters would suffer a lot for this I know cause probability might exist if they try to persuade their husbands to believe them, they might get in their throats one day, feel undermined and challenged by these wives and then beaten  up to establish their authority. That's what happens when you marry those who don't share your belief. You'll suffer for it in the fact that you'll rarely come to agreement. Both of you would hold two different views and then you won't be able to walk together because you're living in dissonance to Amos 3:3. If you're wrong and your spouse is also wrong; do you know you're in agreement compared to a couple where one spouse is wrong and the other is right? They won't be able to establish agreement, union and unity but the two wrong couple won't have problems with mutual understanding and enjoyment of each other. 

Brethren, the person you want to marry is a Christian, that's good. You've done well not to be yoked together with an unbeliever (II Cor.6:14). No problem. Denominations have done damage to the body of Christ as each denomination has built on a part of the truth rather than the whole also. In this denomination, they believe in baptism by sprinkling but that denomination firmly opposes it. It goes on like that and multitude are following the 'truths' they know. The husband did baptism by sprinkling, the wife said it was a scam and that immersion is what is genuine (which off course she was baptised into). This is the problem of denomination that would cause wobble walk of two people with themselves. It wasn't long the man beats the wife up for saying he was not properly baptized! When asked, he said "she always prove herself a better Christian than himself." So, in your choice of a marriage partner, ensure you marry your belief wholly. Any contradiction in belief between you and your spouse is a danger. Mind you, the contradiction may be on any issue of life. My ministry father told us of a woman who believed couples should not have sex on Sundays. She said, it is dedicated unto the Lord. Sunday is not even the sanctified Sabbath and even if we're to manage it as same, nothing says sex should not be had with one's spouse on any day except by the agreement of each of you to give yourself to God's things or spiritual exercises (I Cor.7:5). Until this woman heard my ministry mother preach the truth, she never bulged. Their marriage was filled with a degree of disharmony because this woman won't allow Sunday sex but call it unholy and unapproved by God. She's been freed now and the husband could let loose the rein even on Sundays. Except for the fact that the husband was very patient, a half converted Christian would have turned it into another thing. 

Even today, there are those without that don't believe in Christ's coming. Tell them that this world shall come to an end one day and they'll burst into laughter. If you're not a believer enough and one without shame, you can't preach to such 'cause they'll humiliate you and prove to you you're following fallacy. Yet, Paul said we have not followed cunningly devised fables. The Bible isn't a lie. If you as a sister or brother falls into such fellow's bosom, you'll always be opposite poles. The mistake people made in the days of Noah that led to only few being saved was made in the days of Lot and only a household with the exclusion of a member was saved from the region of Sodom and Gomorrah. Same is still going to be made again on personal ground in choice making and on issues of eternity which would consequent in heaven or hell. It is not too late. Are you in any of such relationship? Persuade yourselves into correct agreement with each other. Look for someone to settle grey and disparity areas with you. If the other won't agree and you feel this is future danger, act resolutely to come out if you're already in? If you've not yet received Christ as your Lord and Saviour, then your name won't be recorded in the book of the Lamb. This is eternal loss of one's soul. Prevent this and hearken to this admonition which says, the time of ignorance God has winked at but now he commands all men to repent. Believe and be saved! If you are already, take heed before you go into marriage to have the same foundational beliefs as your spouse to be. Not settling this would cause disagreement, disunity and probably divorce which God hates and is unwanted for us.
