As a way of introduction permit me to say that God will never speak a non-result oriented word in other words, God speaks result-pregnant words any time and every time He speaks. That is why I will admonish that you pay rapt attention to this series of thoughts the Holy Spirit will be sharing with you for the next few days...It is a new dawn for you!
As
I took my regular early morning bath in the Word today, a phrase caught my
attention and I never stopped thinking about or better put meditating on it. Of
course the Holy Spirit came to my rescues as He said that’s God’s word to me
for the moment and it will outlive me if Jesus tarries. This prompted me to
share it with you because I know it will bless you as well.
Firstly,
I will like to draw your attention to the carefully selected words in the
phrase “windows of Heaven” and that is the fact that Heaven is a shelter. In
Isaiah 66v1 God says;
“...The
heaven is My throne...”
Hence,
God is the overall covering of heaven. Jesus is the door according to John 10v7
or you can call Him the way according to John 14v6 through which you can reach
God who makes up the inside and outside of Heaven. Jesus according to John
10v1,7&9 is the controller of what or who goes in and comes out through the
door of Heaven. While God controls the windows of Heaven and I will be dwelling
on this truth by the help of the Holy Ghost.
Malachi
3v10 says;
“Bring
ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house,
and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room
enough to receive it.”
When
God talks about opening the windows of heaven through which He will pour out
blessings on whoever meets His standard, what does He mean? First of all, we
need to know that God owns all things and that in abundance, John 10v10b. When
God gives, He gives in abundance. You can ask King Solomon in 2Chronicles
1v14-17. God knows no such thing as little because He is able to do exceeding
and abundantly above all that you can ever imagine or ask, Ephesians 3v20.
Why
does God need to pour through the window and not just give through the door? By
virtue of salvation the door is no more a hindrance to accessing God directly.
How do I know? Jesus i.e. the Door said
in John 16v26-27:
“At
that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the
Father for you: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me,
and have believed that I came out from God”
Jesus
is saying that He doesn’t need to stand as an intermediary between you and God
that God will respond to you because He loves you. Now when I was younger and
we had to pass through someone window side in the village, we make it very
snappy so as not to run into waste or excess water being poured out through the
window.
In
the same vein, Psalms 23v5 unveils to us that God deals in overflow and that is
why He doesn’t need to open the door to bless you. If you wouldn’t be able to
contain the window-blessing then the door-blessing will sweep you off your
foot. This brings us to our core subject in this study and that is looking at
what happens when God opens the window of Heaven. We will look at the negative
consequences it has had as well as the positive consequences.
Confession
I have the life of God. I am not my own but Gods' therefore I refuse to be ordinary in Jesus name.
When we come back tomorrow we will proceed from here and you will get to know the God who controls all things His way. God bless.
