THE DYNAMICS OF DIVINE PROVISIONS

LAnd it came to pass after a while, that THE BROOK DRIED UP, because there had been no rain in the land' 1 Kings 17. 7. 


God had through Elijah gave a judgemental prophecy against Israel:  THERE SHALL NOT BE DEW NOR RAIN THESE YEARS...


However, God must protect and provide for His servant through the famine. Therefore, the Lord instructed Elijah to go and hide himself at Brook Cherith. There, the Lord fed him through ravens and gave him water through the Brook. 


But, after a while, the brook dry up. What? 


Why would the brook dry up in the presence of Him who created the heavens and the earth? 


Was it not God who gave instructions to Elijah to go to the brook for protection and provision? 


Why would the brook dry up.and presumably opened up Elijah to the assailant and hunger? 


Sincerely, God's provision should not end a dried up as if it were that God is helpless and can't control nature. 


But the truth is this, God deliberately allowed the brook to dried up because He was opening for the prophet a new provision and protection. And this is greater than the brook that dried. 


When the brook dried, God was granting provision for the widow of Zarephath to be blessed. 


Did you remembered that the MANNA, the divine provisions on which the Israelites depended on for forty years ceased: "And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year" Joshua 5: 12.


WHY DOES GOD ALLOWED THE BROOK DRY UP AND THE MANNA CEASED? 


1. We must depend on God daily not on the abundant provisions we already have. 


2. Sometimes, God desires that we work rather than depending and salivating on miraculous provisions


3. God gives miraculous when there is no natural means of having provisions. This means, we are in the desert, helpless and deserted and the only means of making it is supernatural. 


4.  The dried brook and the ceased manna is the end of one situation and circumstances. Then, He will begin to open a new chapter for us. It is a means of transitioning. 


Has your brook dried and the manna ceased? Don't be troubled. God is opening a new chapter for you. 


The brook never dry and manna ceased until there is GREATER and BETTER provisions. 


You're in your PROMISED LAND.

A DOSE OF COUNSEL FOR ORO AND EGUNGUN FOLLOWERS

Image
I woke up this morning reading a lot of social media posts about the selected dates and days for the ORO festival in the part of the country where I live. ORO is a secluded cultic 'religious' activity. Traditionally, it involves mature males and initiated participants. Women are forever banned from witnessing it, except for hearing it from inside (ETI L'OBIRIN FI NGBO OHUN ORO). Nobody reveals the activities in public. You keep what you see and know to yourself. Nobody exchanges pleasantries about what happened the day before in public. During this time, men do all they can, including appearing like the first Adam in the garden. The absence of women grants men the freedom to engage in reckless behavior. A few days ago, I was shown a TikTok live coverage of an ORO festival in a certain part of the country. Oh! What a sacrilege. An abomination, you would say. It is anti-tradition and a taboo. But that's the world we live in. Nothing seems to be hidden anymore. Smartwatche...

RE: IS THE STORY OF ALHAJI WASIU AYINDE BARRISTER'S CONVERSION TO CHRISTIANITY REALLY TRUE?

Image
  "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." - Romans 2:29 Since my previous write-up on the above subject, I have received several mixed feedbacks, especially from Christians. Some were ecstatic, praising God for doing such a wondrous thing. However, others opined that such an acclaimed conversion is nothing but a business tactic. They argued that his affiliation with the Celestial Church indicates that he is merely religious and pretentious about his faith in Christ. This group believes that the Celestial Church is not a place to find a true Christian. (Please, wait before you start casting aspersions on anyone.) Meanwhile, as fate would have it, I have been drawn to several of Wasiu Ayinde's songs on TikTok. I am still wondering why I consistently stumble upon his songs even though I do not follow his handle. I can only hope I will not be tempted to start...

TAKE YOUR MOUNTAINS. NEVER GIVE EXCUSES.

 The children of Israel came into the Land of Promise as a conglomerate of twelve tribes. They needed unity to reach that point. But once they arrived in Canaan, each tribe had to take possession of its own inheritance. What you take is what you get. At this stage, collective effort would not suffice—each tribe needed to claim and secure its portion for future generations. God had already given clear instructions regarding what must be possessed: “For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off... I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.” — Exodus 23:23, 27 The command was simple and decisive: to cut them off—to destroy all the people. Only on this basis could Israel take full possession of the land and be free from intimidation. The b...
