TEXT: “Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear” (Isaiah 59:1-2)
Today we shall be drawing the curtains for the month of February, our month of Light for Flight. I will like to remind you also that this year 2024, we have been ordained by God to advance in the midst of adversity. No matter the situation in the land today, we shall advance, we shall progress and we shall move forward, in Jesus name.
However, if you find yourself not progressing as ordained by God then something may be wrong that you need to pay attention to. God expects us His children to make progressive progress in life irrespective of the economic situation. The Bible says: “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Prov 4:18). If you find yourself up today and down tomorrow, the first thing you need to check is if your heaven is closed or opened. We all as individuals have a personal space in the sky/heavenlies. It doesn’t matter the number of people on the earth today, we all have a personal space up there. There is a personal space for each person’s heaven to be opened for the rain of blessings to come down. Many people are ignorant and careless about this and struggle continues.
Even our Lord Jesus had his heaven opened immediately He was baptized (See Matt 3:16). His personal space in the heavenlies had to open for His earthly ministry and destiny to blossom. When the heaven over someone is closed, the good things that are supposed to be in his life will not come, instead he starts to experience the opposite. Has this been your situation? A change is coming. Your heaven is open now. No good thing can manifest if the heavens of a person is closed. Many people are struggling today because their heavens are closed. I pray for you today, your personal space in the heavenlies shall be opened and remain so, in Jesus name.
However, there is one factor that is responsible for closed heaven over a person as pointed out in today’s anchor scripture. If you are living in sin and disobedient to God, your heavens can be closed. The Bible says: “Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience” (Eph 5:6). Some Christians believe that living in sin does not matter because the blood of Jesus has handled our past, present and future sin. This is a lie of the devil. The Bibles says, paraphrase: “We cannot continue to live in sin and expect grace to abide” (Rom 6:1-2). Little acts of disobedience and lifestyle of iniquity can shut the heaven of a man. That won’t be you, in Jesus name.
So, is there any sin in your life that you need to confess and repent of today? Don’t hesitate to do so. The Arms of God are opened wide to receive you. If your life is straighten with your Maker, I guarantee you that your heaven shall open and rain of blessings shall fall on you.
This is where we conclude MTD for the month of February. God bless you for being part of it.
PRAYER: The heaven over your life, destiny, marriage, business, career, etc, shall continually open for the outpouring of the rain of blessing, in Jesus name.
DAILY CONFESSION:
This year 2024, I am advancing in adversity because I’ve been redeemed to flourish in hard times therefore my life shall be full of wonders. Amen and amen.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: “Many are struggling today because their heaven is closed.”
