THE MAN GOD HAS ACCEPTED HIS WORKS - I See Heaven Open Series 005
"And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God."
When the way of a man pleases the Lord, what can He not do for him? In one place, the Bible says, "He will even make his enemies be at peace with him" (Prov. 16:7). What a strange verse!
Anything can happen for a man who has satisfied God's heart in Christ. Look at Cornelius here. Look at the citation and the commendation heaven read for him.
"Your prayers and your alms have come up as a memorial before God."
Imagine that! It means some things that he has been doing persistently have come to be acknowledged by God and because of that, heaven had to open, give way and an errand sent by the hand of an angel before God so he could be rewarded.
Guess what his reward is? Salvation of his soul. Hear the angel speak.
Acts 10:5-6, KJV
"5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do."
What Peter later told Cornelius and all that had waited for him to come was to put their faith in Jesus Christ. Peter only preached the gospel to them. God could see that Cornelius was feeling after Him. The Bible described him as a man who fears the Lord and who does a lot of alms and prayers. But that's not how to get to the Lord except through the receiving of His Son, Jesus. That made God reward him with a preacher who could preach the gospel to him. He was not only filled with the Holy Ghost but also baptized with his people.
When heaven opens, you will receive an emissary of God, for your good and in order to meet your utmost need. For Cornelius, his utmost need was salvation. Not healing from a heart failure or the appointment of financial breakthrough to him. God sees you also. He is visiting you also, to meet your most critical need as you would have.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: I attract heaven and I have heaven's ears.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Leviticus 19:1-20:27, Mark 8:11-26, Psalm 42:1-11, Proverbs 10:17
