TOPIC: WAR AGAINST SHIFTERS OF DAY OF JOY
BASIC SCRIPTURES: GENESIS 29: 13-25;
15 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
16 And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
17 Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
18 And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
19 And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
20 And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
31: 4-7
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
5 And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.

I know a young man, though no longer young because he has sojourned on planet earth for many years. When he was growing up, he wanted to start his primary school education early. But because he was not blessed with height, he was told he couldn’t start school because his right hand could not touch his left ear, a policy that was a prerequisite at that time before anyone could begin school.

His attempt to start school was shifted forward until he could meet up with the condition there. When he finished primary and then secondary school, he became a perpetual candidate of University Matriculation exams. He got into university at a time when most of his mates had rounded up or were rounding up their university education.
His joy of being a young graduate went unfulfilled. Though he became a university graduate eventually, he wrote the matriculation exams many times and in addition, he lost many years to incessant industrial action that bedeviled the university system in his country then. When he wanted to get married, his wedding date had to be shifted because of infighting in his in-laws family.

I know another person, a young lady, though no longer young because she has equally sojourned on planet earth for many years. She is beautiful but each attempt by her to get married had been met by one obstacle or the other. One day, in a session of prayer, a man of God who was leading the prayer session said that the young lady should have been in her husband’s house 15 years earlier than the time they were conducting those prayers.
One way or the other, the enemy had not allowed her day of marital Joy to manifest. Today’s scriptural reading is another pointer to such forces at work. Jacob was serving his uncle Laban faithfully so as to marry Rachel, the love of his life. Little did he know that uncle Laban had a different plan. The time he thought he would rejoice for marrying his heart-throb was shifted by another 7 years.
Hear his words, “And ye know that with all my power I have served your father. And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me” (Gen. 31: 6-7). There are many “Labans” in this world that can shift the goal post in someone’s life. Our Daily Manna 11 November 2021 ODM Online Today – WAR AGAINST SHIFTERS OF DAY OF JOY
Beware of them. For 10 good times, the wages of Jacob were changed. My prayer for you today is that any power shifting your day of breakthrough and rejoicing forward will come to an end in Jesus name. November is my Birthday month, your Eleventh-hour miracle is my Birthday gift.
PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: There’s not a friend…

He will guide till the day is done;

No, not one! no, not one!
