Spiritual Access Points (XI)

Text: Genesis 28:12

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.


As I said yesterday, from today, we'll chart Samuel's spiritual trajectory that made him what he became. 


The birth of Samuel was a product of a sacrificial vow. In 1 Samuel 1:11 we see the mother of Samuel making this vow:

And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.


The dimension that brought about Samuel's birth was not just prayer but this vow. Because it is obvious a woman in Hannah's condition would have prayed severally prior to that time. 


After this vow and confirmation of answers via the High Priest Eli, in the fullness of time, Samuel was born. 


We also see Hannah honoring this sacrificial vow in 1 Samuel 1:24-28 (Do well to read that passage).


As a result, Samuel became a living sacrifice unto God. This was the beginning of his spiritual journey into becoming a spiritual access point. 


Romans 12:1 tells us this:

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.


A man who will become a spiritual access point must live as a sacrifice offered unto God. This principle is key as even our example from the New Testament lived a life of sacrifice. 


When you are a living sacrifice, all you exist for is the pleasure of God. Hence, God keeps investing spiritual deposits in such a life which, in turn, makes you a portal to the Divine. 


I pray for you, that your life will be pleasing unto God in Jesus name. 


Let's continue tomorrow by God's grace.


Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
