ENTERTAINING ANGELS

Hebrews 13:2, KJV

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."

How do we entertain strangers when we know that many may not share your good will for them? We know the kind of world we are in now. Considering it is the winding down of the age, the populace of evil events has seriously increased. Men can do the unthinkable or even seek to take advantage of you if they know you're open and kind-hearted. Then, how should we fulfill this verse?

Growing up was in a community where myth and rumours were spread and usually believed. Many are such pictorial calendars that were rolled out de-emphasizing the receiving of strangers. One such myth or rumour I heard was a stranger who walked into a community needing a place to sleep but fortunately was guided to a mosque. Guess what happened when it was morning? He had become a big snake as told us! In one story, he had turned into a coffin. Then the moral, "thank God no one person took him in." If you've been fed with scenes and images from stories like this, it is hard believing any stranger comes around with good intentions.

However, the Bible is advising contrarily. It didn't say however, don't take precaution or exercise discernment. We should let our fears, bias and prejudice dissipate to entertain strangers because some have entertained angels unawares. There's a blessing God does not want us to miss for which He gives us that verse. It is the blessing that comes with entertaining angels in human uniform unawares. When you do or if we look at those who did in the Bible, we'll observe that those angels were heralds of blessings to them. For instance, when Abraham saw three men, he ran to meet them and persuaded them intensely and repeatedly to come and refresh themselves before they'll be on their way. By entertaining and refreshing them with meat, remembrance of Sarah by God was hinted at and the long awaited blessing was situated and predicted for a time (Gen.18:1-15). 

Lot had that same experience. He was at the city gate when he saw certain strangers that he wouldn't allow to go their way considering it was almost night time. He had to bring them into his house to refresh and shelter them. They were the ones who delivered and hasted him out of the city or else, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah would have overtaken him (Gen.19:1-17). 

Angels still do go on errands but as disguised, needing help from human beings messengers. If you can see or be sensitized to the needs of others and not refrain, you might entertain angels  unawares and get the blessing that comes with it. 

We shouldn't get to a place where we shut the bowel of our compassion to strangers because we've once been disappointed by rude rogues who robbed us blind or brought harm to us. If we should close our eyes totally to the entertaining of strangers, we'll miss God's messengers in critical moments when we need their ministration or help. It takes a lot of sensitivity to see that these ones hanging around should be brought into my home. I have travelled far and wide in my country and I had slept in different places, taken in for months even by people I never knew without one slight recommendation from any human being to them about me. They could have had witnesses or conviction because I found out they were beyond average Christians later. In turn, I have served some of these men I dwelt with like Moses and Jacob served Jethro and Laban respectively. I also didn't withhold. God didn't say, refer them to your pastor or locality chief so they can stay in the personage. Only that you could hint it to the authority and go ahead with the act. 

Have the heart to do according to this scripture and when such opportunity avails itself, you'll be sensitized to those that you should bring in even if you cannot distinguish them as angels. They may be mere men to you and may not even change in appearance to look supernatural but indeed in our real world, many have contacted angels in the flesh who were dressed just like any normal citizen. I pray for you that you'll know your time. You'll know the time that has come upon you and you will not miss your season and agents of visitation. You'll be full with ears all over your body to know who to receive and who to decline - for they are harbingers of evil instead of messengers of good tidings. Today, I call you blessed, opening your perception to see your angel in a human robe; your gold wrapped in rags!

PRAYER: Lord, I submit to Your command to entertain strangers. Grant me special perception at such moments of peak visitation.

GOD IS MY KING OF OLD!

Psalms 74:12, KJV

"For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth."

Is God your King of old? Could you say, "the God of ages past and my hope for years to come?" If you can say this, it means you just didn't begin with God. Your journey with Him began sometime ago - far back into the past. You have known Him, His ways and His works. You have tasted of His goodness and His mercies. You have witnessed His deliverance in tight corners and escape when it is due and seriously anticipated. As such, you could call him rightly by His name, "my King of old." He's the One you've taken several steps under His direction without failing. 

God is not "the King of old" to everyone. If you haven't journeyed with Him and He with you; if you haven't experienced Him and He hasn't been the One accompanying you till now, then it is unnecessary saying, "you're my King of old." If you make such a claim, you have to show us evidence that makes God your King of old - who works salvation (deliverance) in the midst of the earth. 

This Psalmist knows God experientially. He has tasted of God's power in past times and from the multitudes of having experienced God that way, he now speaks calling, "God his King of old." As in, "One who was there for him and would now be there at this time of need in the present."

Let me give you another verse of the Bible to compare this verse I'm explaining with. David says, "the Lord who delivered me from the paws of the lion and the bear will deliver me from this uncircumcised Philistine" (I Sam.17:37). In essence, God is his King of old. He referred to God who helped him over his past challenges in old times being available at the present moment to render an immediate help. 

God is not only God who has been existing for ages or one who we have known and have been walking with for awhile and then of whom we have tasted and could talk of His power but one who "works salvation in the midst of the earth." New International Reader's Version of the Bible puts it this way. "God, you have been my king for a long time. The whole earth has seen you save us over and over again."

Do you think the Psalmist was just invoking God that way? No! He needed a new help but he first acknowledged God as his King of old. If He saved him over and over again in the past, He can't be powerless or handicap doing so now. 

If you've known Him as your King of old, I tell you that He is mighty to save now. The Bible says, "God is our present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). Your King of old won't desert you now! He knows you and you know Him. How could He jettison you now? The One who was once faithful will be faithful again. Today, I'm joining my faith with yours to rouse our King of old to stand up for your matter. Where do you need God to show forth as He Who has always been with you? Where do you need Him to manifest as He Who has never left or forsook you? He's showing up now! Your King of old; my King of old; our King of old is showing up! Your situation trembles!

PRAYER: Welcome, my King of old. Never disappointing but on time. Answer as O God of ages past and my hope for years to come.

DO YOU KNOW THAT THE LORD WILL TAKE YOUR MASTER FROM YOUR HEAD TODAY? - Taken From Your Head Series 005

II Kings 2:3, KJV

"And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace."

We've been on "losing loved ones, being left comfortless but eventually comforted." I'll like us trace the loss of Elisha and how God replenished or comforted him. 

It's very obvious that Elijah is to be taken away to heaven and the news of the same is not hidden since we read that everybody keeps saying to Elisha, "do you know that the Lord will take your master from your head today?"

This saying repeats itself twice. First, it was said by sons of the prophets at Bethel and then at Jericho to torment and portray the comfortless situation Elisha would soon find himself in. So, they persistently told him, "do you know that your 'libido' would soon reduce because the Lord will soon take your master from your head today?

Let us start our analysis. They said, "...take your master from your head." We put things on our heads to give shelter or covering. It could be a cap or hat from the sun or an umbrella from the rain. Elijah gets described as a cover or shelter for Elisha. They said, "do you not know that God will take away your master (cover or shelter) from your head today."

The mentioning or the idea of the head suggests Elijah is Elisha's covering. Elijah is therefore the hat on Elisha's head who protects him from being beaten by the metaphoric rain or sun of life. To remove this precious covering off his head would therefore leave his head coverless, shelterless. He'll therefore be comfortless! This is everybody's expectation. All the other sons of the prophets who might have envied Elisha till now because he's being discipled by a greater prophet are now in a rejoicing mood. They're now thanking their stars for not being the one whose discipler and cover would be removed that day. They know the consequence, that it would mean remaining an orphan. And we all know how life treats orphans who are not old or strong enough to stand or maintain integrity against the unfairness of life. 

However, their expectations were forever banished. It didn't come to pass over Elisha. They expected that it would be unto him according to their words. They looked across Jordan in expectation that when he returns, he'll do so mourning and expressing all sorts of hopelessness. 

II Kings 2:6-7, KJV

"6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on. 7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan."

It doesn't matter how many have gone to stand and view afar off how you would fare, you'll always return with the ingredient that'll make them take and regard you as the next deal. Your journey won't be a return in empty handedness. 

II Kings 2:15, KJV

"And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him."

Though his cover was blown away or taken off from his head, he didn't feel the loss or indulge in that loss because what can make him a father like his father is what he has just received - a double portion of Elijah's spirit. When God brings compensation into your life for certain losses, you become indeed compensated for. Was Elisha mourning and asking how he would cope with life or how well he would live after Elijah was taken or he went about expressing in the anointing authoritatively?

Those of you with this kind of loss - whose parents, sponsors or covers have been removed from their heads, may God give you grace, favour, gift of men or wealth even through jobs you'll get by which you can provide for yourselves and not become vulnerable ones. Anyone with the loss of his or her cover, be restored. Receive a new cover or what can succinctly stand in to save you from being comfortless. The thought of Elisha was, "if Elijah should leave and I still can't do his work effectively in power", I would be at a loss for ever. 

However, he was provided for. He went after what would save him from being a needy when Elijah - the one who meets all needs and attracts honour and respect through his anointing leaves. He gat the anointing for himself and his use also. Or else, he'd be comfortless and ineffective to live life after the departure of Elijah. It'll be too disgraceful going back to the farming he once left. 

I pray for you, you won't be at a loss. Before the master of your trade dies, may you have mastered or known the secrets of the trade. Before the man whom God has ordained you get an anointing transfer from is taken away, may you have lived seriously enough to have been imparted - receiving an anointing transfer. If such should die or be taken away without your having become somebody, you'll hate or regret it afterwards. I pray, you'll learn, receive and be a beneficiary of every lessons of fathers while the sun still shines. 

PRAYER: I am a beneficiary of the Lord and His anointed around me. I pay attention to gather the ingredients of my destiny.

WHEN THE BROOK DRIES - Taken From Your Head Series 004

I Kings 17:8-9, KJV

"8 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 9 Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee."

This teaching is a continuity on where I stopped yesterday. God comforted Elijah when the declaration that causes famine went effective. We saw how He did through yesterday's teaching. Today, I'll push further.

Do you remember that the brook did dry up. When it does, what did God who sees and knows say? Hear the Bible, "and the Word of the Lord came unto him, saying, arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongs to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee."

Did you see God's next move in seeing that Elijah wasn't left comfortless (needy)? He moved him by His precious voiced Word to where he could be provided for again. 

I love the usage of language in that verse. A part of that verse says, "I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee." Mark the word, "sustain!" It means to keep you alive. From sustain, we have sustainance. Sustainance is what you take a living by. What helps you continue as a living soul. Something like food you know. That's why the Bible says in Matthew 4:4, "man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from God's mouth."

If that verse is correctly interpreted, it means humanity or man takes a living through feeding of himself. What he feeds or eats is therefore what he's sustained with. 

So, when God says, "I have ordained a widow woman there to sustain you", it means one who'll feed you to just keep you alive. It means there'll be food for your body. It doesn't necessarily mean there'll be food enough for Elijah to say he wants to gather riches by selling food items.

God has plans for any of his sons and daughters irrespective of where they are. It's not His intention to leave you comfortless (needy) after losing a job. No! He wants to equate you to become better and continue. He doesn't want you to say, "how I wished I was in my good old days?" No! God rather wants to cause a new season over you that'll make you know continuity. 

Today, has one source of livelihood fail in your life? Another shall answer you now! God moves people on. They don't remain static when things are static. They rather progressed. Elijah progressed when things were static and so will you. If God had not met the needs of Elijah, he would have been left comfortless. Someone who was able to feed himself would now become handicapped. However, God disallowed that. Elijah rather knows continuity and several shifts. You too, irrespective of what you have lost in this life, that is not your end. God will move you on. You'll continue and in moving you on, you'll be comforted and have no reason to lament you ever lost one source of income or whatsoever. 

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for being the Lord that continues with me. I see day after day with You.

WHEN THERE'S NO RAIN! - Taken From Your Head Series 003

I Kings 17:1, KJV

"And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word."

Today, I continue with the series I've been on and I'll be teaching under the heading, "when there's no rain!"

Elijah exercised God to bring judgement upon Ahab and the whole of Israel for forsaking God. It comes in a pronouncement that says, "for these years, there shall neither be rain or dew but at my Word." This Word became acted upon. It immediately goes into effect and suddenly, dry season begins unending. Some might have thought it would soon be over but when rain should rightly fall and it didn't, the unbelieving in those days must have come to know that God's declared Word through Elijah is valid and cannot be turned except by his own mouth. 

This closure of heaven without rain or even dew leads to a serious famine in the land. The famine is so serious that even Ahab the King had to vacate the throne to divide the royal cattle with Obadiah (head of his house) so they could find pastures and save them alive. 

In the midst of a famine that God knew would become hectic this way, God didn't leave Elijah comfortless. In famine, Elisha still laughs when what was popular are frowns and unfriendly faces around town. That would have been okay if people's lives were not even endangered. However, that declaration of his came to make a menace of human wisdom. 

To see to it that Elijah is not left comfortless and brought harm by his own declaration, the first thing God did for Him was to mind how he'll be hidden from being a victim of his prediction. God knew his prediction had taken root that instance but if Elijah - the man of God who had been feeding before (even if it's not in debauchery) would not die of hunger or thirst, he had to be provided. 

As such, what did Elijah hear. The Bible testifies saying, "get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there" (1 Kings 17:3-4). 

We all know the rest of the story. That's how it was. Elijah was ministered to serially until the Brook dries and God had to relocate him elsewhere. 

What God did for Elijah is simply not leaving him, "comfortless!". The moment you begin to miss one ministration you've been enjoying, you can't but be deemed to have been left comfortless.

However, God sees and He cares!

PRAYER: My needs are met and that rightly. I am not left comfortless.

THE NEED FOR A COMFORTER CANNOT BE UNDEREMPHASIZED - Taken From Your Head Series 002

Genesis 24:67, KJV

"And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."

The need for a comforter cannot be underemphasized. Rebekah replaced Sarah succinctly. It is so succinct that the Bible says, "and Isaac was comforted."

It means, Isaac wasn't comforted previously. He was mourning. He occasionally sheds tears or is emotionally depressed when he thinks of his mum's memory and what she was to him. He's not different from the woman with the issue of blood who was oozing blood until she met Jesus. When she met Jesus, the Bible used a language to describe what happened to her. Her issue of blood was stanched.

Luke 8:44, KJV

"Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched."

To "stanch" means to stop from flowing. It means to bring to a full stop. That's exactly what happened to Isaac when he brought Rebekah into his life. He was someone who mourned but who as soon as Rebekah steps in became comforted. 

"...and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."

To be comforted means to quit mourning or expressing grief. It's not different from putting a stop to a flow. That is, what was flowing before Rebekah's arrival was stopped. The old ended for the new to start. 

I pray for those of you who need to have somebody replaced in your life that, "the old will be stopped for the new to flow!" As a matter of fact, I call forth the new in your life. Let the new begin to flow. Let new flow begin to issue. Have a new testimony. 

I call forth new issues. When the woman with the issue of blood had a stop in her continual flow of blood, a new season immediately began over her as the old was rolled away. Those of you who are still mourning because of the old presences or feelings, today, that memory is supplanted with the new and better. 

You've lived long enough mourning and experiencing darkness. As of now, it is light all around you. It is light all over you. I declare again, it is light all about you. I stanch every flow of the wrong issues in your life. I bring an end to their continuity. You'll from today be known for a new product and not what you used to issue. You'll today be known for happiness and not mourning. I'm hearing certain God's Word concerning you. The Bible says, "the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness" (Isa.61:3). That is what is happening to you right now. Receive it!

PRAYER: I receive the oil of joy for mourning.

THOSE WHO LOST THE IRREPLACEABLE - Taken From Your Head Series 001

Genesis 24:67, KJV

"And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."

If you have lost the irreplaceable, you may need to speak with Isaac. He knows what it means to lose the irreplaceable. Losing the irreplaceable here isn't the loss of someone due to one's carelessness or cause. It is when death claims the life of someone who's of immense value to you/in your life. 

One major thing that happens when people are taken over our head suddenly by death is that there's a vacuum. That gap is created because they are no longer around let alone available to meet certain needs they've been consistently meeting in our lives. Irreplaceable people in our lives may be parents, spouses or siblings. It may even be a fellow who's not related by blood or marriage but who's very close. Such disappearance is nothing short of calamity. 

When Sarah, Isaac's mother passed away, Isaac was alone. Apart from being emotionally disturbed for having lost a valued one in his life, he could have missed all the kinds of help the mother used to render. That could range from being a counsellor, encourager, cook etc. 

But the Bible records that he got a replacement in Rebekah. A better replacement for that matter. His mother couldn't give him sex but Rebekah even went on to comfort or give him that added ministration. 

Genesis 24:67, KJV 

"And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."

Isaac brought her into her mother's tent. I don't think this is the culture back then but Isaac could have done this because that tent was available or because of his closeness to his mum or because he wanted some continuity where the mother had left it. You know, because he hoped to have someone who'll continue in her mother's stead. For that reason, she brought Rebekah into her mother's tent. That act is not without a reason anyway. 

Rebekah became his wife and he loved her. Afterwards, he was comforted! What I'm praying for each and every one of you who have lost an irreplaceable one is that you'll find a replacement and be comforted. Children who have lost parents need those who'll adopt them. We all know that. Else, they may not be properly raised and comforted. 

An irreplaceable one looks irreplaceable because of their great value or contributions to our life. However, God can give you another helper who'll do likewise or surpass them even in deeds. And as far as God is concerned, He wants your tomorrow to be greater than today. What He does is to keep equalizing us with the better. The path of the just is as the shining light which shines more and more unto the perfect day. God's thought for us is of good and of evil to give us a hope and a future. You can't diminish in your journey with God. He achieves that by finding you better persons and graces that can make you better. God won't allow you to retrogress or fail because of certain ministrations you couldn't receive into your life again. No! Death might have cut it off unplanned but whenever the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift a standard against him (Isa.59:19). That standard can be an act in the replacement God will give you so that you can be comforted, equalized and even win the situation on ground. 

I pray for you, "you shall be comforted! Anything that can end your mourning and bring soothing comfort into your life, receive it now in Jesus' name! May God give you persons where you've lost one (except for a spouse since that concerns marriage). You'll only need a man or a woman to bring back those good memories. So shall it be. 

PRAYER: The Restorer and Master Aider restores my comfort and joy. I am aided by the right person.
