TO NOUGHT IT WILL COME - His Pleasure Series 007

Acts 5:38, KJV

"And now I say unto you, refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought."

God wants me to speak by another exposition to you. Let's expand the word, "nought." Let's ask, "what does it mean?" It means "nothing; zero; traceless; to extinction; become valueless or worthless; vanished; finished; numbered, found wanting and ended." It summarily means it will lack continuance and be disappeared. It will come to nothing visible to be recognized by men again. It means it will be broken and divided. It will be overcome and run over by another. It will become the last. It will cease functioning or doing activities. It will run out of production or its very purpose of establishment. It means it will lose face, its good name (if it ever establishes any) and diminish in fame, strength, power and glory. In the end, you'll seek it and find it not. If the relics were ever available, that would only be the witness that upon this place once stood what men once chanted and esteemed as great. 

One day, I heard an elderly minister talk painfully of another very elderly minister. He said he was too obscure to be known by our new generation and that during his time - when God was using him,  it was helicopter he used to share handbills in Ijebu Ode, Nigeria. I was shocked. I enquired, "this same Ijebu Ode?" He nodded. But it seems everything has waned and the glory has departed. That day, my heart went out genuinely after that very elderly minister. I was never elated by his obscurity. Imagine a minister who rose to a a height when many couldn't even thought of buying a vehicle, it was a flying machine he was using to create awareness about his programmes. How great would he have been then? Then, what dwindled him? Some things might have happened to cause this but that's all about the memory I want you to bear in mind as it concerns this teaching. A work can come to nought. That's not our intentional prayer against anyone except they're fake and false. But I was very disturbed four to six years ago when I learnt this. The memory of that man of God didn't leave me on time. Days and months, I kept thinking about him, how unhappy and regretful he might have become since he was broken while I wish I could restore him. When Gamaliel says, "if it be of men, it will come to nought", Gamaliel intended it would so happen that men won't remember it again. In that, such work will stop being the talk of the town. Previously, it might have been the rave of the town - what everybody gossips about. They might have been commanding nations but God forbid if a work should suddenly be found by heaven not to have proceeded from them, it doesn't matter the height it has reached, it will come descending down. I'm not saying that of this helicopter minister was shut for this same purpose but I wouldn't even remember what the cause was if it was ever mentioned that day or speculated on by that elderly minister speaking to us. When a work has been marked by the Working Committee of heaven to be crashed, if they install another board of trustees, rename or rebrand, pump in more fund, employ new staff or put new regulations in place; all these would not be enough to stop it all. It's like repainting a grave that it's inside is full of rotten bones yet you want to make its appearance white, clean, beautiful and attractive. That's deception and God could see through it even if men are apllauding it. Since such work is not God's doing or has stopped being God's doing (probably it has now being brought under Satan or flesh), it'll not be marvellous in people's sight again and so it'll be relegated to stay in the background forever. I believe something firmly because God taught me by revelation and my growth by time. It's that God is an administrator and that He exercises control and supremacy over His inheritance to the very ends of the earth. As He is looking at the Body of Christ today, He knows ministers to call home to be with Him even before their time is fulfilled so they won't backslide. They've been compromising and God could see it through what many are calling new styles stemming from them. God's enough to get that done. It's just our own job to pray for those ministers and that their soul be preserved eventually but if they persist in error, God will serve them quit notice from His work and if they refuse to quit the work, He may serve them quit notice from the earth or send them into oblivion while yet alive. And from the little I know, having being known and not known again is a terrible thing especially when God relocates the work you used to do into somebody else's hands who you can identify. It will forever pain you with a huge sense of looming regret for betraying God's trust.  

The remedy to not being brought to nought is therefore to be God's and continually stay under God. God is like a compliant officer who goes all around to ensure people are complying with a particular regulating rules and regulations that guide their trade or profession. If He finds you in violation, God doesn't need to withdraw your calling and gifts since those are even without repentance. He'll just sit on you, raise another to overshadow you. God did this to Saul. David overran him. The moment a life has stopped pleasing God even if it's at his apogee of greatness and has established great and respectful name, God can pluck it down, punish his disobedience by ensuring he's shadowed so that his influence does not bear on many sons and daughters and by same replicate after his corrupt kind. Beware, lest God overshadows you and relegates you to the background. Nothing scares anyone to hell than being alive and watching people do what he was once called to do. You'll daily be tormented on earth even if you'll finally end it in heaven.

PRAYER: Lord, give one more chance to all ministers and greatness that You have benched and intentionally overshadowed. Let their hair grow again. Let their stump bring forth shoot. Mercy, Lord!

THIS COUNSEL - His Pleasure Series 006

Acts 5:38, KJV 

"And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:"

Gamaliel said that to warn the persecutors of the Way and we've been on same for days now. Today, God wants us see what counsel is and so gain some understanding from it. First of all, let me quickly say, counsel may be of God, Satan or Men. What is "counsel?" It is "a course of action, an event, a scheme, a plan, an intent or purpose." When Gamaliel says, "if this counsel be of men", he meant if this purpose (of their preaching Christ) be of men, it shall come to nought but what if it's of God? "They (the persecuting council) can't overthrow it but rather be found guilty (Acts 5:39).

Now, may I ask you, "is the counsel or work of preaching Christ of any man?" Was it the disciples who originated it or instructed themselves to preach Christ? Today, God wants to correct some of you who have good intention and so start something but which God isn't it's author. You can't be a pastor, teacher or stand in the five fold ministry offices for instance without a direct call from Jesus, the Head of the Church Himself (Eph.4:11). He must call you to His work Himself. "Call" anyway should not be narrowed down to hearing an audible voice only though might come through that. That's rare. Only few men began ministry hearing an audible voice. I myself didn't hear one but I was more than persuaded because I came under a great motivation and compelling stronger than myself to start ministry. Also, God gave me words to run with from His Word. Afore that time, I always wanted to stay hidden though I was once a campus president. Also, I could relate all these to the prophecies that were given post my birth while other things that I've now heard and experienced from God and men have further confirmed my call. Having a desire for ministry is good and it may lead you into God's work but be sure of He who has placed such desire or burden there. Ask, "what or who's prompting this?" This will make you be at peace with God; established, not easily mocked or discouraged by people. Confidence is good but I say assurance is better. 

When Jesus was to leave, what command did He give His disciples?  "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8, KJV). Did you see that? Who made them witnesses? Jesus or men! Our answer settles it. Meanwhile, that you've seen, heard and known doesn't automatically transfer you into a witness. God may still want to keep you with Himself. But the moment you hear, "go and be my witness", it means you've been released and your time of revealing has come. It also means you have the backing of He Who sent you or releases you to go and be His witness. You're simply His ambassador or representative and so He has obligation to keep you and see to it that His pleasure in your hands find fulfilment. Have you sent yourself? With whose motivation, propelling, stirring or energy did you start this work? Who launched your pad into the planet Moon, Mars, Venus or others where you now occupy? Are you the one allocating yourself or God is the One administering you (to where He sees needs and want needs met)? We are human resources in the hands of God. What material resources become in your hands to meet your needs is what we become in God's hands to meet His needs. Are you sure the Lord is your Shepherd on this matter? By whose words do you live daily and get guided or is it by bread alone? Then, you can't but be sense ruled and carnally minded since nothing of God authors and is regulating you. 

The "counsel" of being witnesses is Jesus' (God's) initiated. He told them, you'll be my representatives in Jerusalem etc until you reach the ends of the earth. The disciples were once eyewitnesses of all He did and so were later called to be witnesses of same. May we all settle now and not tomorrow that the counsel which is not man's is what will tarry. Go and start your thing and let's see how far your energy will take you. By the time you begin to sink, we'll watch and see who you'll cry to for salvation. Peter got an immediate extension of hand because He first received a call to step out. He was put on that journey and launched out by the words of the Master Caller - Jesus Himself. He didn't presume (Matt.14:28-31). Presumption is dangerous and it has made many Christians and ministers sink at a juncture of "I don't know how" again or at a moment of intense persecution/warfare where they get tired and jump out. Today, we have seen that the counsel or work for which the Apostles are being persecuted isn't what they flagged humanly. It's rather a command of God to be witnesses that made them one. So, they can hope to always have His backing. Is yours same? This "counsel, ministry, setup, work, entity, institution", who birth it and who inspires it? Which word from God's mouth could it be traced to? Settle this or be forever doubtful and in fear of a great shaking.

PRAYER: God's Counsel is also His Pleasure. May it continually prosper in my hands. Lord, I pack up what I've humanly set up to wait on Thee.

HAVE YOU HEARD GOD'S COMMANDMENT? - His Pleasure Series 005

Read Acts 5:23-42

Acts 5:38, KJV  

"And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:"

Have you heard God's commandment? He's saying refrain! It is salvation to hear God when He's sounding the alarm and blowing warning. Or else, one's bones will be broken because a crash and a collision with Him and His pleasure will be inevitable. God is saying I should sound the alarm in Zion and say to some who are currently found in the wrong estate and doings like the High Priest and Chief Priests in today's passage to refrain. It is coming out loud and as a blast. God intends you'll hear and hearken immediately. The refrain of the Lord here isn't what you can postpone. It is what you should agree to and take as the final and last order or else, "you'll dash your foot on a stone" with no bearing up or remedy. This is therefore an address to believers, backsliders or any who could be faulted by the Lord. God is saying , "refrain." It means, "don't persist in that particular act."

What was the shout of Gamaliel to the entire congregation? "Refrain!" Refrain means to "hold still, stop doing, put an end to immediately, bring to a halt, let stop, shut down, shut off etc." When God said "refrain" through Gamaliel's mouth, He intends none of those there would continue to persecute the disciples or continue in their former ways to them. Whenever God issues the word "refrain", He wants to give people a fresh start and wink at their days of ignorance. Apostle Paul while speaking says "the time of ignorance, God has winked at but now commands all to come to repentance (Acts 17:30)." That's God's mind and that abrupt, sudden, blasting, fearful salvation and preservation call is to halt you from going the way of Balaam and reaping his reward. God doesn't come with a loud well written stop sign to someone if they're doing His pleasure and they're doing it right. It's either they're not doing His pleasure at all or they're not doing it right. So, God is saying, "stop building." You must have seen houses under construction with the stop sign before. That means, "refrain." Such work has not earned approval. If God calls you to refrain from a thing, I'll say He loves you. What is dangerous is God having to refrain you from a work by calling you away because you've become heady and wouldn't surrender and agree to refrains. God doesn't want any to stand as an opposer to His will. That's why He manifested wondrously to Paul and asked, "why do you persecute Me?" But if you persist being heady, in that manner, you'll leave God with no other option but to be taken away by the owner of your soul. 

On another ground, this refrain alarm may also be to those who started out with God genuinely but who in their walk and partnership with Him in ministry are now being found wanting. If you refuse to refrain, God won't be blamed because your chance was given to you but you didn't want people to perceive something is amiss by being out of what they've known you with so there won't be sudden enquires that could give you away. Therefore, many keep on labouring as if nothing is wrong between them and God. Wait soonest for the final "refrain" that will take you off the earth and you'll see that in the grave, there's no repentance.

Where are you and who are you to trouble God's people and work? God is not joking here or taking it lightly with you. Like He spoke to these gathering of haters and contenders with His will, He's saying, "refrain from that your persistent wicked act against My work and people." I'm hearing His voice in me and I can perceive His motivation quickly, He's saying, "stop and go on no more." Not refraining is consequential. May you not therefore become the simple who doesn't see ahead; breaks all instructions by yet going ahead and eventually get punished. May you hearken, take a U-turn and be today refrained from every way of error and falsehood. 

PRAYER: Lord, enlighten me on a way of life or action I need to refrain from. May I not become a clog ignorantly or intentionally to the doing of Your pleasure. May I exercise prompt obedience even when it's disgraceful.

LET GOD DEFEND HIMSELF IF THIS IS GOD'S - His Pleasure Series 004

Read Acts 5:23-42

Acts 5:38, KJV

"And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

If it is not God founded, established, called forth, spoken forth, ordained, anointed, expressed, willed, decreed, announced and published, death and decay will finally catch up with it no matter how high sounding and prosperous it is or might have been. So, if you see someone come around doing something, let them alone. God is their judge. Don't fight them lest you find out their reality and you're put to shame later. It's better to be silent and watch He Who gave gifts to men and Who's also the Head of the Church do His work. God has an overall administrative power over His kingdom. He's powerful and omnipotent enough to cut off a branch that should not exist and be linked with the whole body. That's what someone with this knowledge identified with also. "And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar (Judges 6:31, KJV). I believe that falsehood cannot exist forever but rather those who do God's will. On the long-run, their lies shall be exposed and the end of false or fake set men shall be revealed. But till then, just give it time, set yourself aloof and watch. My principle is if I haven't discerned a thing to be God or God's, I won't say yes or no to it. I won't support or oppose it. Until God shines words on that thing to me, I shall sit to watch God's dealings with it. This call of Gamaliel is a revelation of mature people who don't want to miss what God is working with or join what God isn't. So, they watch so they don't join the rewards of sinners and be partakers of their sins or oppose a new setup to later find it's God's and be ashamed.

When Gamaliel said, "refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought (Acts 5:38); he's indeed saying, "God is enough to defend Himself. Stop defending Him you zealous people. God understands enough to support what He originates and not let same come to nought or vice versa." Defending unnecessarily rather is the exact thing that many do in the name of religion. They defend their object of devotion and could maraud or kill because of him or her. While it shows zeal and devotion, it also shows the impotence of such god. If it is God's intentional work indeed, what's God committed to doing? He'll see to its prospering. If it's not, will God show His support to it? If that happens, will the work not naturally die by itself? You see, before you get frustrated at why what you're doing is not moving, do ascertain whose hands fetch it for you. If it's not God, quickly repent and let it go. Irrespective of how naturally collosal your might had expanded such work, let it go. Any tent that God didn't set up is dangerous to operate or even dwell under. The One who spread it in the name of God is impersonating God and so is taking God for granted. He's not different from someone who's taken God for a fool. God will shut Him down so that He won't be introducing himself to men instead of Himself to men. The danger is this, if God doesn't call you, you'll manufacture your standards to keep the people you have gathered by yourself. So, you'll be a compromiser in order to hold them still. You'll be the kind of pastor who gives people what they want and not what God's mandate prescribe. You'll become Aaron who makes golden calf for people according to their lusts. And what God wants to build must not deviate from the pattern. He won't allow you continue this fake or false ministry but rather expose you and call you away in disgrace. 

People of God, say with me, "for if this is the counsel or work of God, it will come to height and great tower but if this counsel or work be of men (it would be defenceless therefore) and so come to nought. To come to nought means to dwindle, fall down (having lack the strength to continue) and then die off. How many here wants that to be their portion? Do you want to run for years with a thing before being confronted you're mistaken. Therefore, take your time to search and find your own pleasure of the Lord before you start at all. Don't do another's or one never allocated to you. If you do, your center will be shut down. You'll just see yourself lacking the necessary inspiration, understanding, wisdom etc needed to run what you've started. Why? God is not funding you. Kingdom funding or funding itself is not only about money. It covers all resources that'll make God's will or pleasure in your hands to prosper. I am Olusola ADEJUMO, M'Wings. Who knows whether you've been convicted and will like to expose Satan and do so publicly in order to break his power and hold on you.

Never continue partnering with Satan and doing ministry under him. Even if you've joined the occult, redemption is still in Christ for you. I pray, may you not serve people poison for having not been called or called forth by the Lord. Today, desist from running your own race.

PRAYER: Lord, having detected what's not Yours that I've began, I ask for forgiveness, willingness and shut same down. I'm opened to You and free from the spirit of error and deception afore misleading me.

STAY ALOOF AND HOLD YOUR PEACE - His Pleasure Series 003

Acts 5:38, KJV 

"And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:"

It's better for you not to get involved at all and let the work die a natural death if it's not of God than opposing it and later finding it is God's. Over the years, I have taught Christians and ministers from this verse. What is not of God don't need to be fought by any man. If it's not of God, let's give it time, it will drop dead on the way and die. When we speak of what is not of God, people's minds immediately turn to Satan and any satanic sponsored work. That's one of what is not God's. There's another. Men's work! Many people founded something themselves. It wasn't God who called them and told them to found. Such work therefore don't have God's certification. It doesn't win His favour or approval and heaven never minds for once providing for such work. Since it is men initiated, it must be men fed, provided for or sponsored. No divine provision or providence ever crosses the mind of God to be torn for such work. Since the mouth of God didn't call it forth, His hands can't feed it. Such work therefore having been let down for not being sponsored or prospered by heaven will then seek means to fund and sustain itself. This is where fake ministers come in who unnecessarily levy people and fleece the sheep for sustainment. But those who stay in this level don't always stay there. They do consequently move from being fake to being false. Those who are false are those who now enter into agreement with Satan and covenant with him to oversee and discharge to them what the Lord of all the earth could have been doing to them if their work is genuine and is the stone caught by God's hands. Such people are suddenly empowered by him. They may have miracles like the magicians of Pharaohs did but their time is only for awhile because they shall be swallowed, searched and not found. 

In this wise, what will come to nought is not only what men originate ignorantly or intentionally but what Satan initiates or is responsible for. They may be allowed to exist till the harvest but they'll eventually be removed because I keep hearing as written in II Corinthians 6:14-15, "for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial?" I'm also hearing as it's in Psalms 1:5, "therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous." They'll fade away because God is not committed to them. They'll be starved, grow lean and die. Those who don't want to die are those who will be forced to partner with Satan for sponsoring and sustainment but we know that their falsehood have been revealed and even though they gather crowd or work miracles, they shall be broken in pieces like a potter's vessel by the rod of the Almighty. Today, God is putting in my mouth to ask you ministers, especially set men of anything spiritual that people are tapping into "whose is the work you're doing?"

a. Men's or Flesh and Blood

b. Occult or Satan's

c. God's or the Divine.

Know principally today that if it is men's or Satan's, even if spared till the harvest, it shall definitely be uprooted and burnt. Such work at God's appearance can't but be found wanting.

PRAYER: Lord, I only move at your move. I will not start on a fake and false ground. I won't found falsely in your name.

GOD WILL WARN MEN FOR YOUR SAKE - His Pleasure Series 002

Acts 5:38, KJV

"And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:"

Though yesterday's teaching wasn't titled serially yet I'll like you know it began and opened this series. Today, God wants you to be assured. He wants your assurance to come from the fact that it is He who makes and can make your enemy to be at peace with you. There are grieving opposers but nobody is persuasive enough like God to make them hold their peace over your life and God's pleasure in your hands. 

In today's reading, the disciples are being called to question as to why they preach Jesus which they've been afore warned not to preach. As they are threatened by the council of elders, one named Gamaliel becomes mouth for God to express His will and have it enforced. He told the elders to back off. He sites history to reinforce to them that the disciples and their works would naturally die if it's not one that originates from God. In essence, he warned others of his company to let the disciples be. He said, "and now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:"

This is God fighting and moving for the disciples in order to preserve His pleasure in their hands. You see, when a thing constantly meets with stiff opposition, though same eventually glories over that opposition yet that may reduce the early effectiveness of the work. But it is better when one has free hand, access and wide room of operation. It's only then one has arrived in Rehoboth. It's only then one's heaven could be said to have been flung opened. Until then, one will have to labour sporadically. One labours now and stops later because opposers are as well at work. For this reason, God seeks to silence and eliminate opposers and hindrances on your way perterm and as soon as they come. It's like a weed. The sooner they appear, the sooner you weed them off. That's the exact God did for Isaac. Where he couldn't raise a voice for himself, God did for him and that was all. God came in the night to Abimelech and told him he's a dead man for having taken a man's wife. Despite the innocence of his hands, God told him he'll be dead if he refuses to return what he has taken which belongs to another man (Gen. 20:1-7). I therefore tell you that God is more than able to warn people on your behalf even without your knowledge. You'll just see that those people now have a new disposition towards you. They may not come to beg you for their previous deeds but you'll see the sign of repentance or new life in them. That's God at work. If where you've once met stiff opposition, you're now meeting acceptance, it can't but be the Lord who has gone to put your enemy at peace with you. Today, for as many ministers, labourers and children of God facing opposition in having free hand, may God appear to your oppressor. Even if power is on their sides, may they hear God and fear.

PRAYER: Warn people concerning me and all that's mine.  God's pleasure is protected in hands.

THE PLEASURE OF THE LORD

Read Isaiah 53:1-10

Isaiah 53:10, KJV

"Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."

If you read from verse one, you'll understand this place began by speaking about Jesus. And it is still of Him that speech is being made prophetically. It was said that "in His hands, the pleasure of the Lord will prosper." We should ask, what's the "pleasure of the Lord?" Simply put, it's also the "will of God." "Pleasure" refers to what has been found and one is delighted in; do recline in or like to habitually do." If a thing is the pleasure of anyone being willed to another, it immediately carries the potency to succeed since it's the pleasure of a greater fellow and a greater realm being acted out. So, "the pleasure of the Lord", is what He's  favourably disposed to. Let heaven and earth pass away, if a thing is the pleasure of the Lord, it must be done and must come to pass. What even makes it quickly burn and come to pass is that it's the pleasure of the Lord: what He founds, ordains, wills and then commissions to men by apportioning them. There's nothing in heaven and on earth that God is favourably disposed to if not His own will or pleasure. His pleasure is what He Himself ordains to be done. That's God's desire, wish or inner breathings. He seeks men on the earth to preach the gospel by which men could be saved for instance. That's one pleasure of the Lord. It keeps prospering daily. Wise people are those who seeks to know the pleasure of the Lord somewhere and then jump into it. Immediately, they'll begin to excel. Their excelling is not primarily because they're verily educated in handling that thing but because there's a word that goes with that pleasure of the Lord which their hands have found to do with all their might. So, they'll surf and rise on the energy of that pleasure or the Lord's will. They'll therefore become a wonder and be marvellous in people's sights.

Now, that place says, "and the pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hands." This should be our prayer and then our objective. First of all, as a Christian or a minister, ensure you're in God's will and doing God's pleasure (what God is happy with). Ensure you're in alignment by doing only what you've found out by search that God wanted done. There are many things that God has ordained to be done. There's no time anyone does them that God is not delighted and gratified that they're been done. For example, what fast has God ordained? If not the one that'll loose the shackles of oppression? What did God command? That you will share your food and possessions with the poor and not close your eyes at them (Isa. 58:6-10). These amidst many are what God delight in. They are what consequently have a reward as well. 

Apart from finding out what the pleasure or will of God is before entering it, ensure you're the right man for a particular pleasure or will of God also. If not, you'll either destroy the work or the work destroys you. There are specific assignments identified with specific men from heaven. It's the pleasure of God but it has been dated, slated and apportioned to be done by some men. For example, the pleasure or will of the Lord of redeeming mankind was solely Christ's work. It's not the work of any prophet of old or apostle of now. So, it can't but prosper in His hands. Doing your work which is a fragment of God's will is what makes you constantly fulfilled and praised as a faithful or obedient servant. Why many don't have prosperity concerning what they call the will of God in their hands is because they're not the one appointed for that work. It is the will of God, yes we know that but are you the hands to do that will of God? Nowadays, people go out of their described jurisdictions and never stick to the pleasure of God concentrated in their hands. As mighty as John the Baptist was, he only came baptizing in order to fish out He who's the Messiah on whom the dove is said to alight and stay. He never tried to be the Saviour once despite the pressure from the company of the elders. He stayed to discharge and was able to fulfill his calling as Jesus' forerunner when he identify and have Him revealed to Israel. 

When the pleasure or will of God prospers, it means it flourishes. A thing that flourishes flows freely like water with a passage and blossoms like a tree planted by rivers of water (Psalm 1). You may begin to think of a body of water that's not being hindered but rather goes where it wants to go and does what it wants to do. Prosperity of God's pleasure in one's hands doesn't mean it won't be contested but that at the end of the day, that pleasure of the Lord and the man ordained to do it will still be standing when the antagonists have been pebbled and powdered by that will of God and now can't be found again. There was a time resistance rose against one minister I once served. Later, all the unrepentant critical people who stood against doing God's will died. I knew two who spearheaded that move. Those who didn't were severely punished. I was eyewitness. The pleasure or will of God when it prospers also comes with the picture of a vegetable garden that's usually well watered. If you look at the leaves, they'll be healthy and fresh. You'll delight having them for yourself. All these are the images given me to describe the picture of a prosperous pleasure of God in a man's hand. If you say you're doing something for God and it is not moving, flowing, gushing and making headway, you should stop, think and reassess whether you're doing the pleasure of the Lord at all or you're indeed the true man in whose hands such desire, purpose or intention of God should be situated. We know many times that the pleasure or will of God is settled and has nothing wrong with it but the wrong man in whose hands it's concentrated may not let it flourish. Today, I want to pray for anyone who has a service they're rendering or giving practically with their hands. May that thing prospers in your hands. For all those who are ministers, in the land God has placed you and you're obedient to go and labour, may God's pleasure prosper in your hands. May you be above contention and striving in the land.

PRAYER: I find Your pleasure and I do it. Will of God, carry me and bear me up.
