WINDOWS OF HEAVEN (8)

Ø In at least someone’s life there are issues that have lingered for so long around them that they are now being worn-out by them; I have a word for you from the Lord, He said I should tell you “that issue is resolved now”.

You know yourself, issues in Business, Marriage, Parenting, Carrier, and Job etc. Congratulations, they are sorted now in Jesus name!

Hence, in Mark 5v25-29 a woman was said to have lived with an issue of blood for twelve years. She had lost everything she had trying to solve it, she was left with no other option than to seek the one who resolves issues for free which is no other than Jesus Christ. However she located Him but the crowd around Him was much and scripture says;

“...came in the press behind, and touched his garment” Mark 5v27

TOUCH Jesus at all cost not minding the crowed. Go in the press. Many make the mistake of offering corporate fellowship which has denied them the answer to their petitions. The truth is that, as much as God admonishes fellowship He still requires that you as an individual even while in any gathering of brethren have individual fellowship with Him. That is the secret of trail blazers in the kingdom.

You can’t go in the press and not touch God, impossible!

Ø Acts 3 records the account of a man who had never walked since he was born and was laid at the Temple gate called beautiful to beg for alms. Now, Peter and John were said to have gone to the temple as it was their custom one faithful day and they noticed this impotent and helpless man. Of course, once the man noticed that he was given attention he begged them for alms as usual but Peter said;

“...Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” Acts 3v6

And the windows of heaven were opened over him for healing. However, the thought I will like you to hold on to there in verse 4&5 of the same chapter, it says;

“And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them”

The lame man was said to have FASTENED his eyes on them and also EXPECTING to receive something from them. The truth is that expectation precedes experience. What are your expectations? So many lands in the presence of God without expectations, too bad! Keep your eyes on the one from whom you are expecting to receive something i.e. God. Scripture says if your eyes be single, your whole body will be flooded with light. So, your FOCUS on God is key to the opening of your windows of heaven. As long as Peter kept his eyes on Christ water was dry land under his foot but as soon as he took his eyes of Him he began to sink, Matthew 14v30.

Conclusively, be FOCUSED and EXPECTANT every time you are in God’s presence.

Ø Vision is the hallmark of life. In fact proverb 29v18 says that people perish where it is lacking.

Blind Bartemeaus as was called had his sight restored because he was able to access one key I will be discussing in a moment and used it to unlock heaven over his blindness. He PRAISED God by eulogizing Him. He cried out saying;

“...Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” Mark 10v47

Jesus said “if I be lifted up, I will draw men unto me” and you can’t get close to Him with any rubbish still hanging around your life. PRAISE is therefore a pathway to a RAISE.

Ø Conclusively on this note, in Mark 3v35-41, Jesus and His disciples were travelling in a ship.

Along the line a storm arouse which cart away all the sailor could remember about calming storms. Jesus was sleeping all the while they were trying still the storm on their own, but when they discovered that they couldn’t still the storm they went to wake the one who is the Controller General of all levels of storm and He being awoken did what He knew how to do best. The thought you are to hold on to here is that when the storm is high, you have tried all you could, then resolve to calling on the Master of storm, Jesus Christ and I assure you, your storms are over.

Confession

I am blessed and the tide is turning in my favor!
