“14. And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.

15. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.”

 In the wilderness, God has always been with us even when we couldn’t see or feel Him around. We also get to know that, He will supply us water whenever we feel thirsty. Today, I’m here to let you know that, despite the fact that the wilderness is terrible, God will still supply you food for sustenance. It doesn’t matter the name you call it, “incomplete diet”, “101”, “011”, no matter what you call it, God will still sustain you with good substance.

The Israelites kept singing of onions and cucumber to Moses, but God provided them with food and they asked, “What is this?” It’s an ingratitude habit. God may not give you what you want but He will always give you what will sustain you and (even the best) till you enjoy the best of His plans for you. There will be food for sustenance and satisfaction. God will never lead you in a wilderness that will end your life except you are not ready to obey His word. I pray for you today, In that wilderness you will never lack sustainability in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Good Day and God Bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

“23. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

24. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

25. And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,”

Yesterday, we defined Wilderness as the journey between the Comfort zone and the Cannanland. Wilderness, if well handled, leads to a better and a promise land. Most times, we feel too attached to the comfort zone that we don’t want to be separated from it. We assured you yesterday, that God is present in that wilderness. I’m here to let you know today, that in that wilderness, there shall be waters and you will never die of thirstiness as long as you follow the one leading you.

After crossing the Red sea, they show gratitude to God for the victory over the Egyptians, the children of Israel then came to Marah, where the water was bitter. May I let you know, in the wilderness of life, many challenges will come, but since God has a place prepared ahead for us we will get there. They cried to Moses, we are thirsty, this water is bitter and it’s called Marah. He proved that He was with them by healing the water. In that wilderness you are, am assuring you, you will get water, you will never die of thirsty. The God that brought out water from the rock at two different occasions in the wilderness hasn’t retire, He will do it for you, He will do it for me. He will make waters available right in that wilderness, all we need to do is to cry to Him and He will respond. He has promise to give waters in the wilderness, be rest assured the waters will be available in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

Good Day and God Bless you.

“21. And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

22. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.”

Beloved, I welcome you to a new week with the topic, “Even In The Wilderness”. Wilderness has always been seen as a season of forsaken. Many feels wilderness is a place of rejection, reproach or a place meant for sinners, that’s a very wrong notion. Today, we are starting with “God Is Present”. Yes, God is present in that wilderness. 

What is wilderness? It’s a situation we find ourselves in the journey of life. Many believe when things goes wrong, they are in the wilderness. Wilderness is the mid point between your comfort zone and your Cannan land. It’s a journey that prepares you for a greater height for God’s purpose. It’s always a preparation season, when men avoid you, downgrade and write you off, but still, God is present during this time. In that situation of yours, God is present as He was with the Israelite in the wilderness, He’s right there beside you.

He was a pillar of Cloud and pillar of fire despite the attitude of the Israelite, that same God is present in your wilderness. Feel this assurance and open up to Him on what you want Him do. God is present with you.

Good Day and God Bless you.

“15. And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.”

The success of any assignment in life lies on God’s Intervention. Until God steps into your situation the needed result might not be achieved. We pray, fast, and work hard with diligence, all of these are tools to attract God’s Intervention. Success is our core duty and can only be achieved when God intervenes.

The third Captain, came humbly, presented his reason reasonably, and the angel intervene on his behalf, told Prophet Elijah, “Go down with him: be not afraid of him.” For our situations to end in success we need the intervention of God. Prophet Elijah never gave up on consuming the Captain of the King but it took the angel to stop him from destroyng a humble man and his fifty.

I will like us to pray for God’s Intervention but, can our way of life attract Him? Can our selfish attitude, pride, power, abuse, drunkenness and position give room to God to intervene? God needs a space before He steps in, are you willing to give Him the space with your habit? If yes, then you can call Him to intervene in that situation and He will grant you success.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s  fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

“13. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

14. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.”

Powers are in level, just as it is in the physical, so it is in the spiritual and power also answer to humility. No matter how powerful or wicked a man/woman may be, when he or she is approached in humility every of his or her guide are brought low. Even our God changes His mind when a sinner humbly surrender himself to God. It’s not in appearance but the content of the heart flowing out from the mouth that makes one humble. Humility doesn’t ends by prostrating or bowing your head but by the words from the dept of your heart. 

Elijah would have prepared to roast the third captain and his fifty as they were coming but he’s heart melted when he heard the outpour of the humble third captain. Many lost the opportunity to rise in life because they lack humility, humbleness and are power frick. Get this today, no matter the height you are, someone is still above you, and remember, you can never be above God no matter your wisdom. Be humble with the use of your power and position. Stop belittling others, go down to earn your position and your rightful place in life. Jesus’ humility gave Him authority above all powers, make humility your life style and you will be lifted.

“13. And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

14. Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.”

Our fifth lesson for today says, “Do Things Differently.” The difference between the first two captains and third captain was their approach to the Man Of God. That people do things and it’s wasn’t working for them doesn’t mean it won’t work for you, all you need to do is to do it differently, change the techniques and think out of the box. The same man of God, that the same King sent his captains and their fifty soldiers but different techniques.

The scripture said, “he fell down to his knee” and appealed to the Prophet to have mercy on him and his fifty. He put aside the king’s command, the result was what count not how it was done. He also had the same weapon as the other captains but approached the Prophet differently. What is the issue that has been giving you Negative result? I huge you today, do it differently and you will achieve your goals.

Good day and God Bless you.

“9. Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.”

10. And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.”

Our focus today is “Leader’s Responsibility”. Leadership is a responsibility, leave it or take it. As a leader your decision has powerful impact over those you’re leading, either for good or bad, they are your responsibility. As a father, you are a leader, as first child, male or female, you are a leader. As a mother, yes, you’re a leader too. I always say this, everyone is a leader one way or the other, and It’s your responsibility to protect those you’re leading.

Those two captains couldn’t recognize they are responsible for the survival of those fifty Soldiers that follows them each. Their words to Elijah brought destruction on those they were leading. You need to know that, those lives that serves under you are your responsibility, you will give account for their lives. Every decision you make, you need to consider them and not be selfish on pleasing yourself alone. How responsible are you to those people you’re leading? Remember, as a leader, you’re accountable to the Divine Leader, so be responsible for their lives.

Good day and God Bless you.

“9. Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.”

10. And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.”

Our third lesson from “Prophet Elijah and the Captains” is, No One Desires to leave a better place. Nobody want to be dethroned at all cost, we all want to go higher In life, not going lower than where we are, so when you intend to bring others down, be prepare to go below than your present level too. Only a lazy man will give up easily when confronted to leave his rightful position.

Elijah used all that’s in his care to remain at His position. He refuse to go down according to the words of the captains. He decree that fire should consume everyone looking for his down fall, He made it a “No Mercy” battle. What are you doing to retain your position? To maintain your position in that marriage, place of work, environment and ministry, are you giving in to frustration or diabolic means? All you need to do is to hold unto God and retain your position. Do all you can to remain where God has place you in your calling. It took Elijah to sacrifice One Hundred And Two persons for him to retain His position. Go to God in prayers and fasting, and fight the fight of Faith to maintain, retain and move to the next position in life. Your position has an enemy eyeing it.

Good day and God Bless you.

“9. Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.”

Brethren, our second lesson is “Wisdom For Every Assignment.” Every assignment committed to you needs a specific wisdom to achieve it. Every commandment of God still needs personal wisdom, how much more men’s assignment. Wherever you’re sent, courtesy demands you respect and honour whoever you’re sent to. Don’t be intoxicated by power, authority or position because it might be of no use when you’re sent.

The Captain of fifty relied on the king’s instructions without applying wisdom. He went to the Prophet of God, and delivered the King’s message without wisdom, and this led to his distruction and his fifty soldiers. No matter the level and position of your master, treat everyone with wisdom. Don’t be intoxicated or manipulated by power. Always know that power are in levels and others can be above the power you depend on. The wisdom you apply, regardless of the power backing you up, determine the success of your assignment in life. Be wise with every assignment given to you.

Good day and God Bless you.
