BE WILLING AND OBEDIENT - Open Heaven Series 013

Read Acts 10:8-16

Acts 10:11,13, KJV  

"11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat."

God took me over yesterday and I'd said, "He loves us first and desires us for Himself." "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom.5: 8). If you know this, you'll be assured He really desires you because He Himself initiated the process of connecting with you even while you were still lost in sin. Do you think He wants to hide Himself away from you though He desires being sought diligently? He does only as not to cast what is holy before swine. Those who come to Him He shall in no wise cast out and those who seek Him are same who shall find Him because God is said "to be a rewarder of they that diligently seek Him" (Heb.11:6). In today's reading, an aircraft descended. I call it "vessel craft." It was bearing all sorts of goodies like the Ishmaelite merchants whose stores afford all sorts of goods (Gen.37:25). What sort of invention do you desire to see? That vessel carries it! Anything, spiritual or physical (that's a good and perfect gift) that God in His wisdom has approved fitting for mankind is what it bears though bearing literally animals. Now, same is lowered unto mankind from above. Heaven's desire to relate with the earth is being established once more. Here they come! Foreign emissaries and tangibilities. Here he lies, a representative of all mankind in his sleep. Here goes a command to him to "rise, kill and eat." To our shock, mankind refuses the gift of Immortality. He has been told, "possess, walk towards and have some for yourself, show your willingness and obedience by accepting the offer we have brought to you from heaven, participate in what we're about doing" but thrice did he stubbornly rebuff God. 

Then I heard God, "it is no longer in my hands when mankind rejects the provision of Jesus offered them as the final sacrifice for sin and remission of it (Heb. 10:12). He has been so much available and lowered to them that people now have Moses (in ministers on earth today) and the law (in the Bible) to instruct them. How could you then deny so great a salvation that has appeared to all men? How could you make nonsense of the provision that costs heaven His only begotten son and which they solely prepared for you with the intention that you'll see its importance and take same. God told me, "I can't force Myself on you. I might tell you what to do with the sacrifice of Jesus for you (the sheet lowered within your arm's length) but I can't force you to accept it by "rising, killing and eating same." God said you must show willingness and obedience on what I have lowered down for you (in Jesus Who laid His life down) and be a beneficiary of His death and resurrection. Like Peter said he has not eaten anything unclean before, many there be who are giving reasons upon reasons, heaps of reasons as to why they aren't yet born again or taken of this suffered, crucified, dead and resurrected Jesus? I pray for you that at the time this offer is being made you, you'll rise, kill and eat. The Bible says, "if ye be willing and obedient, you'll eat the good of the land" but what will happen to rebels? (Isa.1:19-20). May you receive this Christ and know eternal life (John 3:18). May you show willingness at the time of willingness. There's always a time when the charmer can't charm the snake again. It is appointed unto man to die once. After that comes judgement. Therefore "today is the day of salvation." Do not harden your hearts like the former times. God has winked at your past but now commands you to repent (Acts 17:30).

PRAYER: I'm sorry for hardening my heart at Your so great salvation till now. I submit and accept Jesus' finished works.

HEAVEN DESIRES - Open Heaven Series 012

Genesis 28:12, KJV

"And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

The extension of a ladder or stairway from heaven to earth is an imagery of an aircraft descending for people to take. Just like the Wings of the Morning or Morning Wings (as a flight) do present itself for people to take so that they might get to the uttermost part of the sea (peak of their destiny in life) [Psalm 139:9], so also do God lowers a step, a stair or a walkway of mercy to any He desires quickly ascends to become something in any place - especially in relationship with Himself. I found out that whenever God desires to reach the earth, He makes a lowering. Without His lowering, without Him first making avenue for Himself to be reached, how could He be reached? That's why we thank God for the personal access Jesus' death gives us. We can now mount individually as children. Today, God is coming for those who have always thought relationship with God a high thing to achieve. When we even speak of relationship with God, they'd thought we're being mystical. They'll say, "God is up there and I'm down here, how can I establish contact when we are thus far apart?" You can establish contact. The concern and fear of many is even that they're the ones initiating relationship without any effort from this Father who's merciful and wouldn't allow search for Himself diligently without rewarding same seekers with Himself (Heb.11:6). In this Jacob's dream, who lowered the stair or walkway? It is God. It is not an initiation of Jacob to reach heaven. It's God to reach the earth. The desire of heaven to make contacts with mortals was so clear and unhidden that they left no avenue to suffer mankind from climbing. We were told that the ladder or staircase they spread from heaven touched the earth. That is, it stands firmly on the ground below. Now, if you want to board a plane and there's no walkway into it, you simply know that though the aircraft is before you, yet you can't possess it. Yet, God hasn't suffered any of us like this. He's a gentle and caring Father to the core. He asked, "if ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the  exceeding abundantly gift to you" (Luke 11:13 - emphasis mine).  God takes thoughts. He cares. All that encompasses your wellbeing is very much solidified in His breast. For that reason, He didn't leave you to options or to cater for what means you'll reach Him through. He has declared Himself unto mankind in the Saviour Jesus. This same God says, "call unto me and I'll answer you and show you great and mighty things which you know not" (Jer.33:3). Who's extending the hand of connection now? Who desires you'll meet Him by that act of "calling on Him" and His afore act of lowering down a staircase from heaven? If it had not touched the ground, I'll have said God just wanted man to view afar off but here is it firmly rested on the earth. This is heaven extending relationship, accord and informality to  the earth. God desires mankind first. That's even why He could willingly give His son. You'll hear, "for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). He's always thinking of us first. "What is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou regards him is thus valid for appropriateness here?" Why would He give His son if He's not afore thinking of bridging the gap of separation between Himself and man? Is that not affirmed by the fact that "God commends His love towards us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8). Even while we had no usefulness to Him, He was to us. It therefore becomes revealing clearly that God is never selfish nor seeking gains for Himself by primarily connecting with us but that we might be greatly benefited and saved from the wrath to come. Who did He still made the plan of escape from the coming wrath for? You? Thinking of you and what you'll gain. 

Today, I am caught up in the love of heaven, the very love of the Father who stood above the ladder and heaven's stairway to speak to Jacob. I'm pondering how much He'll give and give until He has all men drawn to Himself. He thirsts, longs that men on earth will have heaven as their abode. He thirsts that while earthly assignment still tarries, they'll continue to know the joy of heaven by afore tasting of its glory in sweet fellowship with Him. For this reason, He had cut a roof open in heaven and descended a stairway - a straight invite for fellowship. Like one with an open eyes in vision and circumcised ears for hearing, I'm hearing him say, "come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (Isaiah 1:18, KJV). You need to see your impoverishment O mortal and fall before this Maker of mankind. Let Him your filthy garments take away. Let him a new turban gift you like He gifted Joshua the High Priest (Zec.3: 4-5). Let him a new ring put in your finger and new shoes wear you like the prodigal son (Lk 15:22). Then, let heaven and earth make merry that "you were once lost but now you're found."

ACTION: Think of how much God has loved you by sparing your life till now. He's love you all the way and even spared not His greatest gift Jesus for you. Make His joy complete by receiving His offer of relationship to you by salvation. That's the stairway. "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, (those who can now relate with Him) even to them that believe on His name" (John 1:12). Look, the deed has been done (Jesus has died and even resurrected - sealed the work of salvation) but have you entered into the done deed?

PRAYER: Forgive me Lord. Receive me and pen me in the Book of Life.

"OH, I'M DELIGHTED TO BE HERE!" - Open Heaven Series 011

Read Gen.28:16-19

Genesis 28:16-17, KJV

"16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not. 17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

Only few ever confess they are delighted to be here. The reason is at hand. What you do not experience, you can't with words flesh. For this cause, many haven't been able to share their testimony of such experience yet same is particular and ought to be common. Jacob is fortunate in this life for having had a foretaste of heaven before his eventual departure to same place. Heaven is sweet and unparalleled. If we consider all the words Jacob uttered when the dream of his head lifted, we'll see how much the experience possessed him. Firstly, he said, "surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it." Does that reveal an intention to have known ahead? If he had, he could have bowed in worship earlier. God is spirit and man is also. He's meant to contact God by his own spirit in sweet fellowship. We're all meant to unite with Him in intimacy. Our quest should be to find God and possess Him for ourselves but I show you a mystery of one who God presented Himself to but who learnt Him very late. This probably was the reason for which God rode into his dream while he slept. Man ought to be conscious of God. Alas, our heads are full of cares of this world. We are wearied, tired and all we beg for like Jacob is to recline in sleep instead of first noticing His presence around us as a urge in us calling us to sweet fellowship with Him. The cares of this world are taking their toil on us and by same we are weakened to rest instead of being woken to fellowship. O man, shouldn't you have discerned your duty to God? May mercy however find all weary Jacobs so that in sleep they might still be visited and their ears opened to still hear God.

Job 33:14-16, KJV

"14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction."

May you lose nothing. May what you couldn't absorb in life be brought you in spirit and same you shall see become a reality solidly in your life. I therefore cause your ears to open. May you always absorb God. 

Then, Jacob was terrified. Holy places are places of fear and reference. It's not a place where man's standards, ways of life or frivolities are tolerated or brought in. Heaven rules supreme and His dictate is all what mortals who will find use in His hands do. For such reason, a command went out to Moses to put off his sandals because where he stands is a holy ground (Exo.3:5). You'll be purged. God will till you. He'll collect from you your inordinate ambition, crooked way of life and melt off your dross. By then, you'll have been made a sharp threshing instrument in His hands. Holy call is only done by refined men. None discovers the holy ground who didn't shout out, "how awesome, terrifying and scary is this place!" They're gripped by His holy presence which man of unclean lips shivers at. This is the ordainment of God, that men of flesh would bow before Him in worship. 

Then Jacob confessed same place being God's house and the gates of heaven. If a place is God's house, it is where He has chosen to dwell. Any who dwells in a place resides there permanently. He's residual there. Then, it means that land or ground is God's focus and where the gaze of His attention shall always be directed on. His rays are on it and none shall hurt any who claims relation with such land or place. This is our inheritance which we share through Christ. We are His anointed one. He's the land. We are connected to Him, the Head of all principalities and powers who stood colossally above the ladder. Who will then hurt us when we have thus become the children of immortality? How can we die when eternity is our possession? Who then shall we fear having such promises? Now, it is the gates of heaven. This is our privilege to access God. We've not been forlorn. The heaven has always pant relating with man. Here is our privilege to take. A disclosure has been opened, a ladder to climb descended, a stairway already leads to heaven for us. The death of Jesus, the tearing of his flesh in suffering (which is the tearing of the curtain of the temple) opens a thoroughfare for each of us to mount this staircase to Him in relationship. Individuals can now access Him themselves. Now, I can pray and believe to be heard because of an opening from heaven to earth. This is our assurance. 

Who therefore will stumble upon such land and not holler, "I'm delighted" when he knows with what the land rewards? Christ is the land and we have found Him like a hidden treasure. We cherish Him more than gold. For this reason, the Psalmist in holy revelation and thundering shout says, "a day with You is simply better than thousands elsewhere. I'd rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tent of wickedness" (Psalm 84:10). He intends he'd rather be in the closet, in intimacy, in fellowship, in exchange of discussion with the One above the ladder than being elsewhere. What has he discovered? The goodies, the altering that happens before Him, the foretaste of heaven's glory that makes a man long for another taste. No wonder he says elsewhere that his soul like a Hart pants after God. Like one removed far from relationship with a lover or hindered from relating with same, he asks rhetorically, "when shall I come before God and behold your face?"

This man has tasted glory afore passage to the other life. This is what fellowship, touching of Holy ground, talks with heaven does to you. It leaves in you a thirst you want to taste and quench. Oh, may you and I always be needy!

PRAYER: Lord, overwhelm me with Your visitation. Make me sensitive and attentive. May You not bypass me. What I can't grab in life, may I possess in spirit.

A STAIRCASE LIKE A MEADOW FOR OUR PLAY - Open Heaven Series 010

Genesis 28:12, KJV  

"And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it."

You may not have the jealousy of parents or know their joy until you give birth. Many times, why our parents acted some way over us aren't understood until our own we have begotten. Oh, how refreshing, heart satisfying it is to any who God has bequeathed with issues and these strings of life. Such man has been described as "happy is he that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate (Psalms 127:5, KJV). What therefore happens to those who don't have yet? Is it the same, "happy is he or she?" That's why today, God is coming for all waiting parents. He wants to give you yours. A fountain and an issue from above will be opened to make your quiver, arms, bosoms full of them. Thank God that these gifts come from above also. Has the Bible not says, "He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children..." (Psalms 113:9 , KJV). Not a child but children. That's your prophecy today and same has come to pass over you. 

This Jacob's dream has a lot to reveal to us. He saw a stairway stretched from heaven to earth and on same, angels ascend to heaven and descend back to the earth. We are very much familiar how the Bible many times refer to angels as sons of God (Job 1:6, 38:7). Now, these sons of God are busy doing one thing - playing on the staircase. What a thing! If you were watching, you could see joy, laughter and light brimming all around them as they jump, climb the staircases up and down. They're reflecting what their Father, Lord and Creator possesses. They're playing on the stairway that leads to their Father's house - heaven. This is what children do. They revel in play to delight themselves. This stairway is therefore not only a portal for transportation of flows but it is a meadow, play ground or play field for these inhabitants God is securely watching above the ladder. Your children will delight you. You'll have some to see play children's acts.

And the Lord brought a thing to my mind, this is the joy of a father or mother. It's to watch their own children ascend and descend the stairs. It's to see them play, catch fun also. These angels are angels of joy - playing angels. God stood watching their ascension and descent. It is your turn to stay on the balcony and for care shout from there, "ensure you don't get hurt." God is not alone in that Jacob's dream. Before Him were many angels doing their profession like children would do before their parents. Did you see them in their multitude? This is how your children   "shall be like olive plants round about thy table" (Psalms 128:3, KJV). They shall delight your heart and cause you satisfaction. Children who bring grief of mind shall not be yours. I declare your womb open. Let your quiver be full of them. The idea is that you have a place for them to dwell, live, roam around and take being from. That place is no longer empty from today. It is serving its purpose. Let children line the staircase of your home. See them count each step as they climb. Receive these gifts that come from God's open heaven. Open heaven above leading to open womb on earth. 

ACTION: Buy toys and baby's wears. Begin to create a meadow in your house for your children's play. 

PRAYER: Thank you for the coming to pass of Your promise. None (including me) shall be barren.

THIS IS THE HOUSE OF GOD! - Open Heaven Series 009

Genesis 28:17, KJV

"And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

Jacob said one more thing. It even ran ahead of the second that became the devotional title yesterday. He said, "this is the house of God." He was not referring to where God was standing above the ladder - in heaven. He was referring to the earth where the feet of the ladder was. The very place he sleeps and get transported to see the descending and ascension take place - the play field. 

This dream is a reality. Portals are real. They can be opened into a space that is unknown and when they are, they're for transportation and exchanges of other valuables between two sides. When portals are opened, inflows and outflows penetrate and are easily passed. The portal that open here is basically information portal. God opened it to instruct someone of His will and intention. But because the focus was earth and a particular place on earth, Jacob identified that place where he slept and had the dream as special itself because he dreamt such wondrous dream on such ground? So, the portal not only has to do with Jacob now, it has to do with the land he slept on and where he laid his head before he had that spiritual dream. That place he slept and specifically laid is head should be suspicious to be significant. As a matter of fact, when a church is to be built on such same land, the altar should be strategically located on that same spot Jacob's head was or be made to face or tend towards that place he had laid his head. That's where the frequency is. Something is special in there. Connection is easier to heaven standing on that same spot. 

Are you called? Has God told you you'll build for Him. If that be, wait on Him to lead you to a land and a hallowed one for you to build on. Don't just go and build a "House of God" or "House of Worship" for people to worship in and access God. Do on a ground which is a portal or has become one. A ground that you either have prayed long enough on to secure it (because inflows now happen there due to your outflows to heaven as you exhale and exhume prayer like smokes) or a land that God Himself instructed you to take for Him. It may be an undeveloped place, don't worry. Once it's a portal, God's blessing is on it. Such place would become a house of prayer so much more that whenever people come from the four wings of the earth, they'll have their needs met there. I want to believe ministers and fathers in our days who built churches, great citadels and camps for God had this revelation. You'll observe that all nations are going to a particular site. It seems God is heavily concentrated in those centres. So, it became a sort of holy ground. It is concluded God answers there. Why? That place became a portal - a house of God on earth. There's a ringed hole from heaven to earth that allows a focus of heaven to shine and solely get concentrated on that portion. So, since heaven visits there regularly, what do you expect? Since a ladder has been lowered down from heaven that touches that ground, what do you expect? Angels can't but visit. Divine taste can't but be felt. Such land even if it belongs to the worship of goddesses and gods before would be very fruitful now. Unless people are not there, that's when they won't have exchanges with heaven. Locate portals, openings, the hollows, the circumcised and circumvent place, the portion light is focused on and on same, make your erection. You could call it  "a linking site" with  heaven. We know God is everywhere but His presence is stronger and unhindered to will and do in some places. Why? The sorts of practices done in a place can descend God down unusually and have Him move unhindered compared to a place known for occultism and resistance of God. 

Then, you have another responsibility - where the altar should be in the building. Tell God to show you the head - where Jacob placed his head. That pillow is where the altar should be or tend towards. Strategically locate that there. That's where the building should face. Jacob's sleeping position and where he tends towards shouldn't be taken lightly. There's something major about the geography of where he slept and about where he turned his head or laid it. The compass of God identifies where he turns or laid his head as a place that should become the altar of such house of God to be built. So, if God tells you to build a place of worship, don't build the altar naturally as pointed out by the Architect or Bricklayer but rather build the altar on the side God is saying it should be. It may seem strange to human minds anyway but obedience pays. While that whole land seems hallowed and infected with God's light, the place or side Jacob laid his head carries the highest strength for God's passage and connection. See to that. You're blessed. May you not be unaware of holy grounds and lands in your house, city, nation. 

PRAYER: Lord, frequent me on earth. Lead me to know your dimensions.

FRIDAY - 16TH SEPTEMBER, 2022

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

THIS IS THE GATE OF HEAVEN - Open Heaven Series 008

Read Genesis 28:10-17

Genesis 28:17, KJV

"And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

Jacob cried out after his experience, "this is the gate of heaven!" Why the gate of heaven? Because there's an opening. There is not only an opening but one which allows or could allow transportation, communication, exchanges and flows to move to and fro. So, he said, "this is the gate of heaven" - an opening brought about for the bringing of issues to the earth. May a route be created for the sole purpose of relating with you. However, he didn't have this testimony until he had seen the stairs that prolonged from heaven to earth and yet well crested on earth, the  angels who repeatedly move and then Jehovah God Himself making disclosures to him from above it. At seeing this and waking up, he said, "what a great opening, channel or medium! This is nothing but the gate of heaven." He calls it what it is and should be. He could identify it for what God has done. You must know that it is only through the gate of heaven things heavenly could be passed and received. Every good and perfect gift haven't changed location of where they still come from (James 1:17).

If you have had this dream with Jacob, you'll have seen to your shock angels in their multitudes travelling up and down. There is just busyness. There is traffic. You could see incoming and ongoing vehicles and it makes it delightful because things were booming in his dream. There was light everywhere and the stairs were heavily polished and overlaid with gold. The brightness radiating forth seems more than that of the sun indescribable and Jacob seeing all was filled with awe and wonders. Things are moving. Relationship and linkage with the earth is being established. In such a way, those that are here can't be forlorn. They could hear the voice. They could see God. They could receive His promises. So, it becomes a gate because of all these. Eventually, a channel by which receiving can be achieved and any other exchanges done has been caved out. If the gate was not opened, it would have been a shut heaven. A heaven of iron where one will not receive a response: hear a voice or see the vision of God. But because it is opened, he couldn't have the testimony of the prophets of Baals who for long cried while humbling themselves yet without hearing "a voice or a sound from above (I Kings 18:29). It was because they were operating under closed heaven unlike Elijah whose heaven was opened for fire to rush from there down to the earth. 

You should therefore know that a gate is a passage way. There's no place where's there's a gate without the intention that flows and transportation should pass through same. Gate is a channel. It allows for transportation to and fro. Gate is a linker. It links those outside the gate with those inside it. When it's flung opened, it is to create access into anything beyond the gate itself. A closed Gate or shut heaven disallows any from being a beneficiary of what heaven has to give rather. Gate opened is a symbol for a call to relationship or intimacy also. One at the gate's end beckons you to come into the house. That's what a gate is. Today, may gates be opened unto you. God wants to relate with you and as it is occurring to my mind, the hindrance to such not happening has been done away with. You're born again. Your spirit has been made to come alive and here is even a burning desire in your mind to know God and hear Him for yourself. May you therefore have access to God and all heavenly things. Jacob was told things to come, things concerning his lineage, himself and the covenant because the heaven's gate was opened and he could then access it. May you receive the vision of tomorrow from heaven. May great and mighty things be shown you. Even in your sleep, may God causes a bright light to shine on and surrounds you which would lead you to focus on the opening from which issues pertaining to your life, calling and destiny would be revealed. Today, may you see the miraculous and witness what shocks as to declare, "this is heaven's gate!" What a sweet testimony of opened heaven! Not everyone has such to say but Jacob does. With what he saw and experienced, he could bear witness to a gate being opened, an opening being allowed and heaven being torn apart. Even in your dreams, "may you witness an opening and a voice coming from same place." Let resources, heaven's resources be brought into your life because of the opened gate.

PRAYER: I crave for intimacy. I draw near, draw me nearer. I receive You (the Giver) and get blessed by your gifts.

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - 15/09/2022

 THURSDAY - 15TH SEPTEMBER, 2022

MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO

THE GULF! - Open Heaven Series 007

Read Luke 16:19-31

Luke 16:26, KJV

"And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence."

The rich man who died told Father Abraham to send Lazarus to give him water, even a drop. However, one of the excuses of Father Abraham is that a great chasm or gulf is separating those on his side and they. So, connection or a walk over (by strolling, taking it gently) is impossible on both sides. That is how his case get closed. What gap do you need to cover? I say, "receive a closure of it. Cover it because of the divine invisible and visible staircases that would be henceforth provided. Let it become easy and a stroll in the park because a plank would be spread for you to pass on." To leave your current level and ascend to another won't be difficult any longer. You're receiving a linker - a stairway that'll bring you into that future and vision of tomorrow. In my journey, I have met fathers who trusted into my hands what they had. They became my joints in the body of Christ and brought flows and benefits into my life. I say, "receive such a bridge."

Once again, we're meeting a gulf. It is defined as a hollow place in the ground. A gullet or that which swallows. Because it swallows, men are fearfully hindered attempting any crossing. So, to connect remains only a wish unrealizable. One of the wisdom of the devil is "gulf creation." The one dug here by the wisdom and invention of God was "a great gulf." It's just too wide. You can't jump, fly or walk it over. The gulf beats any one's imagination. Once anyone is on that other side where the rich man found himself, no matter the agony and pressure, he sticks there. His sticking there isn't because he wanted to but because if he attempts crossing, he'll find it unrealizable because a gulf has been intentionally dug in-between to create a separation from the other abode wherein is peace, sanity and environment refreshing. So also, any with Father Abraham can't cross over to deliver out of compassion any of those in anguish. They are also restricted because of this same in-between gulf. Thus, two people can't connect. A portrayal that mercy ended after death while judgement follows. This wisdom of gulf fixing had been tapped into by ancient kingdoms and military intelligence. To secure a city, they could dig a great gulf round it. At times, security of a city may be because it's on a hill, in a mountain or for being surrounded by water (as an island). At times, it's because it's a walled and straitly shut Jericho. In such way, they live protected and secured until this means of defence could be laid bare. What was God's intention of creating that gulf? We got the answer from Abraham. That there might not be trespassing or crossing on both sides. God knew once those in hell get tormented, they'll try crossing from the rich man's side. So, He went ahead to hinder border and line crossing by creating a gulf. You've heard of the wall built to hinder inflow from Mexico to America but here's a gulf. Both are to achieve the same purpose. What God wanted was border control and He achieved it. As a matter of fact, this rich man saw the futility in arguing on with Abraham but rather tendered a new request after that last reason on Lazarus' impossibility of crossing was given. He became quietened. People, once the devil digs to create a gulf for any, it's to make passage impossible and crossing over to another side. Such is therefore stranded even if need be that he crosses. Mark it, that other side is the better side but he can't flee thee. So, the ministry of a "gulf creator" in anyone's life is what calls for the ministry of a "stairway fixer." If any is never bound; a deliverer won't be needed also. So, I have come with an anointing that destroys yokes and works restoration to declare that any gulf created to hinder your safe, fast and easy crossing be filled up. Moving from one level of achievement to the other won't be difficult now. Finishing your building or that project won't be also because of my decrees which heaven will hear. Gaps would be filled for you and every hollow opened to hinder your achieving further would be closed. I decree, "receive a staircase" on all your hollow grounds to cross over. No more gulfs. Capture new grounds that seem cut off from your reach ahead of time. Suddenly feel capable and empowered. Do new things. I proclaim the shutting down of all invention serving as a gulf in your life today. You won't always be cut off from the better land. For this reason I received the delegation of Jesus' authority in order to destroy the works (wiles, devices, strategies, buildings, foundations or implants) of the devil. I cause gulfs and gaps to close up between separating or separated spouses, friends, siblings etc. Let there be a sweet connection. Know the joy of being connected. Let hands reach hands and let new intimacy grow. 

ACTION: Are you born again? Repent and be separated unto God with your name written in the Book of Life. 

PRAYER: I escape the second death. The reality of gulf fixing won't be real in my life, relationship and dreams. I receive the miracle of divine crossover at every juncture of gulf. I'm unstoppable.
