When God's Word Locks in

From Odusina Adewale Hiworks

A lot of the experiences we  can physically appreciate have a parallel with the operations in the Spiritual realm.

For example,  before a missile is launched, it is locked in to a target.  So once launched except the target is moved  away, impact in a definite pursuit.

Even when the target is moving, missile have been developed to pursue moving target until impact except the target is of superior intelligence too.

To beat a missile, you would need a missile  to lock in to a launched missile.  Every nation of the world is on red alert for any missile launch.

Missile can be diverted away from original target to a more vulnerable location.

Missile can be  hijacked or stolen.

Missile can self destruct  via remote control or by automation.

Missile can hover and return to a virgin location to self destruct as a warning strategy.

In many ways THE BLESSING FROM GOD locks in to us via Corresponding God's word  and power at work within us.

We must maintain our Spiritual GPS (our Faith) until the blessing is delivered.

Isaiah 55:11

Whatever happens to THE BLESSING between release and receipt in TOTALLY our Prerogative. Remember Esau's blessing was diverted to a more vulnerable Jacob.

Once the Spiritual GPS is maintained, the blessing will continue to lock in and deliver.

When you power down or become Spiritually discharged (prayerlessness) which implies Failed Faith, the blessing may hover,be stolen, be diverted or be given to someone else.

Until Jacob became Israel, The blessing hovered on him. Until Abram became Abraham The blessing hovered.

God had already released us into the blessing as part of the benefit of Salvation but it will hover until locked in and will deliver when we maintain our faith stand point steadfastly, prayerfully and thankfully.

We must pray and maintain Faith position by locking into the corresponding promise in the scriptures until the desired is our reality.

Elijah Predicts a Drought

Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As

[a]

the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.” And the word

of the LORD came to him: “Depart

from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.

4

shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed

So he went and did

you there.”

5

according to the word of the LORD. He went and lived by the brook Cherith that is east of the Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread

6

and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. And after a

while the brook dried up, because there was no rain in the land.
