THE UNAPPROACHABLE IS NOW "COME BOLDLY"

-

Exodus 26:33-34(kjv)

And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy [place] and the most holy.

And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy [place].


The mercy seat was placed in the most holy place, the place unaccessible to the natural man, even the priest has to be careful going in that they may not die.


Leviticus 16:2 

And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the vail before the mercy seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.


Even for the anointed priest at that time, they dare not come into the most holy place, special arrangement had to be made for them to go in and as some recorded a chain had to be tied to their feet with bells to ensure that they could be dragged out if the died in there.


However when Christ died the scriptures record:


Matthew 27:50-51

Then Jesus shouted out again, and he released his spirit.

At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart,


So Christ death made that which was unapproachable was made accessible, we could access the Heavenly Father without restrain, for as we know:


John 1:12-13

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.


We are no longer strangers or slaves but His children having access. What a sacrifice!


That is why scripture also records:


Hebrews 4:16(kjv) 

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


So from being unapprochable to being "come boldly". No one can prevent us or restrict us access to the Heavenly Father. As I always say, we create the barriers or boundaries. Christ has set us free.


Let no one, (including ourselves), put us in bondage again.


Do not take this access for granted neither should we waste the opportunity.


Stay in prayer, worship and study of the word. Let God's presence fill you night and day. Victory is already ours.


Glory to the God who has brought us this great favour, mercy and grace in Christ Jesus. Blessed be His name forever.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
