READ: Hebrews 12:1-2 (KJV)
1
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of
witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily
beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Open Heaven 7 October 2021 MESSAGE:
Human
beings have been in search of the way back to their Maker since the fall of the
first man. Man was sent out of the Garden of Eden and he became a wanderer,
without the peace he once had when he had access to his Maker. This is the
primary reason man invented various types of religions, hoping to access God
through them.

Heaven 6 October 2021 – Practical Gratitude
God however, decided to
reveal Himself to people like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses among
others who sincerely loved Him. This category of people received divine help to
impact their generations by pointing them in the way to the Almighty God. Jesus
said it plainly:
“…I
am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye
know him, and have seen him.” John 14:6-7
When
one of Jesus’ disciples asked Him to reveal God the Father to them, Jesus
responded by saying “he that hath seen me hath seen
the Father” (John 14:9)

Jesus Christ is the
perfect revelation of God the Father. It is through His teaching that we know
that God is a Spirit and whoever wants to worship Him must worship Him in
spirit and in truth (John 4:24). He told us that unless we are born again, we
cannot see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3). Religious activities are exercises in
futility without this new birth experience. Until Jesus came, even scholars of
the Jewish religious laws were ignorant of these principles of God’s Kingdom.
Therefore, we must always look unto Him for direction if we want to make it
back to the One who created us in His own image. Part of our Bible reading
today says “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…” (Hebrews
12:2).
Also, Jesus Christ
Himself said in John 3:14-15:
“And
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man
be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
eternal life.”
I encourage you to look
unto Jesus for salvation, deliverance, healing, breakthroughs and eternal life.
You will experience abundant life here on earth and in eternity with God, in
the mighty name of Jesus.
Open Heaven 7 October 2021 PRAYER POINT:
Father, as I look unto You, perfect everything concerning me now
and forever, in Jesus’ name.
