HAPPY NEW MONTH!!!

YOU AND THE MEMBERS OF YOUR CALLING

Genesis 45:5, KJV

"Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life."

Your calling has a purpose and end to it. Moreso, there are people who are allocated and connected to your calling from the Lord. If you heed your calling, you'll find this to be true. You'll observe that there are those your calling is meant to save or give its ministry to. Every calling is sent and meant to be benefited by some carved out people. 

In today's Bible reading, we read of Joseph. He confessed that he was sent ahead of his brethren to preserve life - their lives. What he became was a platform for them to live. Joseph was promoted, achieving such prominence for their sakes. Joseph has a calling and that exact statement - "of being raised to preserve their lives" is why God raised his calling up. The people who are divinely attached to his calling are his brethren or the whole of Israel - the entire family of Jacob then. So, as he rises, they were meant to rise with him. Every calling has jurisdiction. Yours may be individual, family or nation targeting. As for the calling of Joseph, it was nation targeting. It was not only to save the nation Egypt but rather to preserve his own family - the nation of Israel. God is committed to His people and if His promise of Israel becoming a vast people (as made to Abraham) would come to pass, they needed to be preserved from what could extinct them. This way, God sets a plan in motion. It was "Operation Joseph in Egypt."

This is why all of us must fulfil our calling and become who God said we should become. Not fulfilling your calling means leaving some people to suffer somewhere. Imagine what would happen if Jesus didn't become the minister He became. First, those in the region and shadow of death upon whom light has sprung eventually wouldn't be able to receive any light (Matt.4:16). They would have continued in darkness, being diversely buffeted by Satan. Then, Jesus wouldn't have been able to benefit the whole world by saving us from our sins. So you see, every calling has its membership or coverage. The membership coverage of Jesus' calling is the whole world. No wonder, John 3:16 says, "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

You are not been raised for yourself. You are being raised for some people. The fate of some people are attached to you. What you become might be what they'll become. Without you becoming anything, they might not find a voice and a platform for themselves. Imagine if Joseph had eaten the forbidden apple - slept with his boss' wife. He wouldn't have made it thus far to the palace let alone becoming such a significant leader of influence that'll open Egypt to his own family members. So, what the devil does is to waylay you and hinder you from achieving the purpose of your calling. He was seeking to do that to Jesus as well. Jesus Himself got to a place where He said in contemplation, "if it pleases You (the Father), make this cup pass over me" (Luke 22:42). If it had passed, there wouldn't have been any potency sealing our redemption. We would have remained lost and irredeemed. 

Before you backslide, allow laziness or other distraction to take you away from walking on the road of your calling, think of the so many faces that may be connected to your calling. When the Bible says, "the hart pants after streams of water" (Psalm 42:1), I'll like you to know that the "streams of water" has found its purpose just by the hart drinking from it. It has found who the member of its calling is and who to minister to. That's the hart that out of thirst from a long distance would come to drink from it. God didn't create the stream for itself but that it'll give drink to others. If an ordinary inanimate creation of God is registering purpose, what about you? You don't want people who are created and attached to your calling to wait still not finding expression because you eventually didn't pursue your calling or didn't become anything with it. Thank God Joseph didn't disappoint Israel for whom he was sent ahead. Thank God Jesus didn't disappoint the entire world that He was to save from their sins (Matt.1:21). May you too not disappoint the members of your calling. If Adam had thought it well that his decision of eating just one apple would be far consequential and disappointing, he wouldn't have done so. Death came into the world and spread to all of us just through one man - because of his sin. However, thank God that just as death came into the world by one, so also we have and receive life by one! (Rom.5:17-19). While somebody disobeys; another adheres. May you adhere; therefore bringing consolation and your calling's ministry to those afore ordained of the Father. May anyone awaiting your manifestation not be disappointed. If you don't know, there are those in darkness and in the region and shadow of death who are waiting for your calling and the deliverance it will avail to be unveiled. May you ever stand up.

PRAYER: Lord, I stand up. I heed and pursue my calling. I bring ministry and ministration to many - the hope of the nations.

Happy New Month!!!

AN EXCEPTIONAL SON OF JESSE

I Samuel 16:18, KJV

"Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him."

Your goal in life is simple. It is to realize yourself. What does it means to realize oneself? It means "using oneself or discharging oneself fully." That is your goal and you don't want to back off from it. I hope how it does me and many others is how it is doing you. When there is still more to do, the feeling would be echoed from my inside and I'll know what to pursue and what next to give attention to. There's a peak that each of our personal potential could get to. It's God's will that we'll horn ourselves to reach such peak in all seriousness and dedication. 

While Saul is in search of a good harp player, David receives a recommendation. He was praised to the King. Now, David is a multidimensional man. However, he found a way of realizing himself. All that was written of him in that verse were all he became or was outrightly known for. He became the sweet psalmist of Israel, a man with a courageous heart - a warrior of many battles, a man of good judgement, a comely man and then one who have God's presence. If you have many gifts, passion or inclination and there's need to pursue them all, you'll know from your inside. All of them as integral part of you will win your approval and desire you to fulfill them. Realizing ourselves means becoming all we are perceiving of ourselves. It's possible to be a writer, singer, actress and a model in one's life time by an immersing into each trade. You only need to find a starting point without letting go of others. You can horn each skill or related gifts in your life and take them to ascension. We are on earth to spend ourselves fully. As a matter of fact, by the time I am going back to God in death, no iota of potential in me should still be crying out to God for fulfilment. My thirst should have been doused and I should have been satiated by a life well lived so much more that I won't have a personal sense of loss at departure.

David is cunning in harp playing, a courageous man of war, of good judgement and then of handsome appearance who God is with. Each of these are the parts that makes up David. To have been described as "cunning in harp playing", it means David practiced until he became very exceptional and a distinguished harp player. It means those moments in the desert, David would relinquish in harp playing until this skill got horned to an exceptional level where it is his uniqueness he now plays as the music suits his very nature. However, he's also a courageous warrior. You wouldn't testify of someone having these traits without having seen him excercised bravery. Surely, the story of having smothered a lion and a bear might have been known by some by this time (I Sam.17:36). That's no small feat. In addition, he's also a man of good judgement or reason. He has good common sense and he's a good thinker. We need such leader and men in our society if we won't be plunged into foolishness and human error that'll consume us all. To further it, David is a handsome man. He has his personal style. To be handsome is not only a function of one's face, figure or frame. It also relates to how one dresses or make-up to beautify one self. You may be beautiful or handsome and paint yourself or dress yourself ugly. However, you may be naturally ugly and make up for it by your creativity in redefining your appearance into your desired person. All these are the skills or graces that engendered David to Saul. To top it all, we read that God is with him. Show me a man with other qualifications who God is not with and I'll show you a man whose candle could be sniffed out. I'll show you a man who'll lack favour and special acceptance by men. I'll show you a man who'll not be protected in all his ways. However, God is with this one. To have God on your side, you must cultivate an intentional relationship with God. You must grow in God, learn how to attract His presence and hear Him speak. All these are the platforms of David. Something will praise you to others as well. As this new month begins, seek to horn it. When taken to an exceptional level, it can't but command attention and put you out there. This is a reminder that if you're multidimensional, you can realize yourself. A new month to you! Safe sail!

PRAYER: I shall not be careless and let fallow without cultivating the gifts, graces and endowments God has given me. I become all.

HE FURTHERS US!

II KINGS 4:42, KJV

"And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof . And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat."

There's a work that God does. It is that I proclaim to you. Your hope can't be disappointed. You'll always be in the here and in the now. To be in the here and in the now, you must not lack the provision that can continue you. God does that by making provision meet for you rightly.  

This verse is encoded with some understanding to shrink out. First, Elisha the man of God has a household of sons of prophets who live with him to see to. How do they live? How do they eat? Do they farm? We saw how they live or how they are fed in that same verse. Provision was brought for Elisha by a fellow who praises him enough as a man of God. You'd thought the provision would have been taken to the store. No! Nothing like that. The instruction from the man of God is "to give unto the people that they may eat." It means Elisha had nothing to serve anyone until then. However, a provision came that met need. 

God is on time. This provision came to meet need. God will shake the heavens and the earth for you. He'll unsettle people for your sake. Wherever you have needs, the God of the harvest and of all provisions shall meet them. What sort of provision do you call this one that just entered and was used immediately for the purpose of feeding here and then?

When the Bible says, "give us this day our daily bread (Luke 11:3)", you can testify that it is not a scam. God is obligated to all of His creations. It is what He gives us that we gather. Even the young lion roars after their prey and seek their meat from the Lord (Psalm 104:21). This act here that met immediate need shows the one-time God meeting needs of His own beloved children. 

What you'll eat; with what you'll have life shall come. It shall come. I say it shall come rightly at your hour of need. You shall not be stranded. Never! My Father shall meet your needs. 

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for shaking the heaven and the earth for my sake. Thanks for Your provision that meets time and need.

WHAT SHOULD CHARACTERIZE OUR LIVES

Numbers 23:24, KJV

"Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain."

This verse should characterize our lives. In the pursuit of purpose, we ought give our eyes no sleep and our eyelids no slumber until we have achieved our intentions. This doesn't mean not sleeping literally until days accumulated into months and months accumulated into years. We know that's impossible. While we may keep vigils occasionally for the realization of our dreams or goals, that place most essentially is calling and breeding us to be people who can't be satiated by pleasure or any other substitute the world has to offer except purpose and its realization.

Some group of men came together for a purpose - to kill Paul. The fact that they meant business was revealed in the resolution they made. They bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they might have killed him (Acts 23:12). That's the kind of resolution, purposeful attacking, focus that I am taking about. One major thing that should be able to guide us this way to achievement is our goal. A life without a goal will be scattered not knowing where to branch or focus. It is when flowing stream or bodies of water lose focus that it becomes a flood. That one as we know blesses no one. However, imagine a body of water that's running in its course without overflowing its boundary. Anything without a focused goal will bring harm. However, when there's a goal, you know what and where to pour yourself into. You give it all and like a wall being besieged, you'll soon see it fall. 

You're meant to rise up as a great lion, lift up yourself like a young lion - not lying down until you have ate of the prey and drank of the blood of the slain. If you watch a lion when it is hungry, you'll have a clearer picture. Because it's hungry, it'll hunt and until its hunger is satiated, there's no turning back or resolution to rest or seek its den. It went hunting for a purpose and that must be achieved before turning back. It doesn't matter how long it takes or what impediments it faces. Something ought to be driving you too. Don't be clueless. Are you telling me you have no dreams? Are you saying you don't want to realize all the human potential God puts in you? That's a debt you owe God. You must discover what capacity you carry, what extent you can go and give yourself to it - serving your generation and those to come with your latent talents, gifts and grace. Something drove those people who bound themselves with an oath to kill Paul. What you have not become that you should become should drive you too. It should become a novel motivation not letting you sit or rest in idleness. As you give all that it takes i.e going to a formal school, engaging in self development, training or rehearsing, collaborating, writing, doing videos etc, you shall see yourself eating of the prey and drinking the blood of the slain. However, put your dream before your eyes first of all. The Psalmist talks of setting the Lord before him (Psalm 16:8). It is what you set before you that you'll see constantly. So, set your dream, aspiration, goal etc before your eyes. Let it have you so you may have it. 

PRAYER: O God of Creation, direct my noble cause/course.

WHERE TO FIND JESUS! - Separated Unto Purpose Series 009

Luke 2:48-49, NLT

"48 His parents didn't know what to think. "Son," his mother said to him, "why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere." 49 "But why did you need to search?" he asked. "Didn't you know that I must be in my Father's house?"

You have to know your kiddos and we do by learning who they are and what their greatest love is. If I asked you what could have the attention of each of your children, what would you say to me? If you do not know the greatest love or obsession of your kids, you might suffer for it yourself. Joseph and Mary suffered just for that as seen in today's Bible verses. Imagine if Jesus' parents knew what his greatest love was. They wouldn't have searched for three days looking for Jesus to no avail until... They went everywhere looking for him except the temple. It was when they couldn't locate him at all those places they thought children of his age could be or be attracted to that they eventually came to the temple as a last resort. They were forced to come to the temple. They themselves didn't believe or imagine that their son is such a one that has come to discover purpose at such an early age and is living it. 

You can't predict your kiddo. Some children mature in orientation and purposeful living or its discovery faster than others. That's why they amuse adults who listen to them manifest. The fact that Mary and Joseph predicted Jesus thinking he could be where the cinema was going on at the market place made them not locate Jesus on time. Let me drive home a point. Your kiddo's obsession or his calling manifests also in where he visits or wants to be. We'll be attracted differently and to different places you know. At a very tender age, Steve Jobs was attracted by inventions that he saw from a store's revealing glass. If you ask where such boy would be, I could say around electronics. Jesus would prefer to be at the temple above any other place because that's an identical place for his calling. He told them, "don't you know I must be in my Father's house." Parents who know their kids and what their obsessions are are those who don't miss. They could therefore match or tie their kiddos to their obsessions. While growing up, many of our mothers knew where they could find us and some were oblivion of it too. Those who knew accessed their children faster for errands or for their needs than others. You'll just hear, "he's at XYZ's house." They could tell friends, "go and check him on the football field" or "go to the library." You need to find your child's interest and where it is tied. Engineers won't gather where actors or dancers would be. If your child would love the cinema or theatre, it may be that another Shakespeare is to be revealed. So, if he or she has his choices to be made, you may begin to see him or her flock around media personalities and movie stars. You won't find an Engineer necessarily in such a place. For those looking for Jesus, look no further. He is in His Father's house - the temple. If you'll discover him, go there. Stop walking up and down to no end. Anyone who discovers purpose this early gives parents rest. You're not confused as to where they may be. It's until then you could predict them with assurance that they'll be where their destiny assignment or training is taking place. 

Such early harvest of children to purpose and their specialization is needful if there'll be attention and concentration on their callings. As we round off this series, ask yourself, will I still do second guess if I were asked which place or what thing has the attention of my kids the best". As for Jesus, He was telling his parents, "why the wasted effort? You should know I'll be at the temple. I'm not destined to be a footballer and so I can't be at the field. I'm not destined to be a fisherman and so I can't be at the sea. However, if you're looking for me, "come to the temple." May our children be this purposeful - knowing themselves and educating others to know or discover them same way. 

PRAYER: Father, let my son be purposeful in his pursuit. Let him discover a calling to obsess after as he arises to it.

BUYING THINGS CHEAPLY AT THIS TIME

BUYING THINGS CHEAPLY AT THIS TIME

Three years ago, a female colleague at my workplace who knows I'm a geek hinted me of some pile of books that were to be sold. It ranges from self help to books on Christian doctrine/faith. The owner, a moderate elderly man was relocating abroad to continue his life. That was in 2021. 

I didn't hesitate. I bought all the books except for few that I've had and didn't want to double or those that were too ragged beyond redemption. I bought some as cheap as #250. Some of these books were notably Kenneth Hagin and wouldn't have been sold at those battered prices at the market.

I however seized a fleeting opportunity to acquire them. I could remember I doubled George Samuel Clason's The Richest Man in Babylon and gave it as a parting gift to a loving sister who was furthering her career. Today, she's in the Banking Sector. She was delighted having the book at last having heard a buzz about it. 

I want to say this "move" or "wave" is being repeated now. Many Nigerians are checking out of the country in their droves like swarm of bees. Before you blink, it may be your neighbour next door. Please, acquire him. In the rush to desperately leave the country and its hot room behind, they will sell off their properties at affordable and lesser prices. Two things might motivate the auctioning off at such lesser price. 

1. That those properties are second hand (even when they're sincerely still new). 

2. Or needing to convert them to money (often in view of time lapse and their departure).

Last year, before a very close brother got the scholarship that launched him to study Computer Vision and Robotics in France, he intimated me of a land his mum could sell in order to fund him and help him realize his goal. That's good and it'll worth it at day's end. However, I advised that the land be retained as it's well situated in an enviable place in Lagos or so. I wouldn't know if the land was eventually sold but I did persuade him not to because he might need it for practice. 

I found out that many Nigerians are not only frustrated but they are now desperate due to their mounting frustration. You may be shocked seeing people sell off their properties so cheaply at this period. Why? Either they want to travel out or they want to survive where they are presently. 

While I'm an advocate of human feeling and compassion, yet I have also discovered people that you can't persuade not to sell something that's theirs [even when you are seeing the unreasonableness behind it]. If you do and they insisted, buy the property. However, you may do them the favour of topping the payment considering they're selling so low out of desperation or need to put hand in the mouth. 

People, go and get ready to acquire things that cheaply. That wave is coming back again. I need prepare your mind for it. You're not wicked buying what people say they want to sell. Don't beat yourself for that. However, if you meet an unwilling seller who's only being forced to sell what he shouldn't sell, help him out if you can. He'll never forget that. From there, you might have an open door and friendship that may beat silver and gold.

Jesus told Simon Peter to launch out into the deep. Why would Jesus say that if there's no intent or end to it? However, we got to discover Jesus' mind and His intent for such instruction when the concluding verse says, "...and let down your nets for a draught" (Luke 5:4).

Believe it, it wasn't long Peter obeyed he had the greatest catch of his life. I'm sensing a wind blowing. I'm sensing an occasion coming right before someone. Will you take it? However, the anointing has come to prepare you for it. God is saying, "get ready for a draught. Get ready for a cheap catch. Get ready for an harvest that you'll need others to help you pull into your home." However, if you do not get ready or let down your nets by having reserved fund at hand, you may be bypassed while watching another - who's prepared cart away the LG, Samsung TV, Laptop, Furniture, Land, Mansion, Car, Tools/Equipments, Fridge/Freezer, Dryer, Sewing Machine, Gas/Gas Cooker, Fan, AC, Washing Machine, Generator etc that you could have bought. 

Look, before it springs forth [happens at all], God comes to tell you of them. 

Ye Believe in GOD & Believe in Me!

EXCEPTIONALITY AND AWE REVEALS CALLING - Separated Unto Purpose Series 008

Luke 2:46 - 47, KJV

"46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers."

This is day 008 on the series, "Separated Unto Purpose." God is not done with us. Rather, He wants to take us further. Today, I have the obligation and release of the Holy Spirit to show you how to mark calling in yourself or any other person, especially your child. My emphasis has for awhile been on the discovery of kiddos' callings. Once done, children are saved from wrong or perverted living onward into their adulthood. The Bible says, "train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6, KJV). One, there is a way he should go. It is the way of the calling and not only of good morals or character inculcation. You can't train a child in the way he should go (his discovered definite calling) if you haven't identified that way also. A calling earlier discovered is what could be trained and taken to its peak of manifestation very early. We don't have to wait for the manifestation of the sons of God at forty years of age. We can experience it in their twenties. May I show you a Psalm that reveals who children or adolescents should be on effectiveness in their callings. 

Psalms 144:12, KJV

"That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace."

We can have such prepared and ready kiddos. Without departing from Luke 2:41-52, I'll be showing you a clear cut mark which once observed reveals your ward has a call on his or her life. Jesus while in the midst of the doctors at the temple displays extraordinary brilliance on God's law or divine things. His brilliance in the Scriptures are so extraordinary that the Bible commented on how the doctors were taken aback. Whenever you see exceptionality being displayed by your kiddo in a subject or activity, it is a mark that he has a specific gifting in there and offcourse a calling to be a master in that field or a related one if he'll pursue it. Many times, parents or adults take little things for granted. You rather ought be like a scout who's on the lookout and tiptoe for that extraordinary player he could recruit for his team. Scout for your ward's strength, gift, talent, obsession, inclination etc. Observe the hint that your child is oozing out by which he or she tells you where he should be classified or with who he should be grouped. You remember Jesus' parents supposedly thought he was in the company of their kinsfolk and acquaintances. However, he was separated away from them because his calling didn't classify him with them. Rather, he was found amidst doctors of religious things (fellow vocational men). If all parents could identify correctly what the calling of their ward is and groom it right there; then there won't be any dullard kid. How do I mean? When you're in your gifting, you're in your elements. Being in your area of grace where you have natural and supernatural equipping to excel means you can't flop because you have many factors of success working for you than of failure working against you. When you're in your calling, since calling begat passion or delight, your passion will begat obsession while that'll begat focus. I can prove that no child is a dullard. You call a child "dull or dullard" because he's not in his calling. Many misfits there be today. Parents themselves are creating these misfits because they want everybody to attend the normal school or experience the familiar schooling. What each of us should rather study and become in life ought be our specialty as dictated to us by what we're created, gifted or best suited for. It is when you do what you lack flair or equipping for that it becomes a struggle and so you struggle. For as many who discovered their callings, they no longer wait to be motivated to work again, they do themselves. Everyone is a genius but not necessarily in the same subject, field or life's endeavour. 

Anything in you or your kiddo that commands awe and spreads wonder when done might be his calling or a link or hint at it. It is what makes people famous, superb and unique. It is what sets them apart and makes them different from others. While I was growing up, I was a very superb artist that commanded attention. I thought I'll become an artist myself. My father encouraged this and my artistry is still revealed in some of my master pieces which I still have till date and then in my general creativity today. I excelled very well in Fine Art and later Literature. Today, all I do revolves round those two things. Anything Art, Culture, Music, Society, History, Prehistoric Life or our Ancient Ancestors and their Origin etc just inspire me. It's therefore in this I give the greatest focus and display of dexterity. 

Watch if it is music, drawing/painting, atheleticism, writing, inventing, coupling and building that your ward is strongly exceptional in. In any he displays the greatest spontaneity, originality, awe and exceptionality, that may be a rope leading you to his calling. May that mark however be visible. Why did I say that? In some kids, there are variety of things they'll be good at. So, this might create confusion both for parents and the kids themselves when choosing a career or a life's task. What to do is not far fetched. Most times, those scattered and diverse obsessions are related strings. Therefore, one that he exceptionally loves should be pursued. From there, he'll have the privilege of branching into other obsessions of his heart if they still seek his attention as he journeys on. When they are not related, there'll surely be one love that surpasses others. That should be bet on and chosen. It'll lead the way into the future of glory and all open door. It is time to connect to all the latent gifts with which God has wired and graced your kiddo. If you'll let this visible mark lead you, it'll lead you into your fullest manifestation and self actualization. 

PRAYER: Lord, show me the exceptionality, uniqueness and specialness in my child. Teach me how to teach it.
