Spiritual Access Points (XIII)

Spirit Breakfast 18/1/2021



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.


1 Samuel 3:3 shows us something interesting about the lifestyle of the young lad Samuel:

The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was sleeping in the Tabernacle near the Ark of God. (New Living Translation)


The Tabernacle in those days served as the house of God and the worship place for all of Israel. Hence, it functioned as a spiritual access point. 


The Ark of God or the Ark of Covenant was a symbol of the physical manifest Presence of God. In essence, where the Ark was, God was.


Therefore, when the Ark of God is in the Tarbenacle, that location was a highly spiritual access point. 


In the verse above we see Samuel in the Tabernacle lying near the Ark of God. 


To clear things up, Samuel wasn't directly close to the Ark per say as the Ark was kept in the holiest place which he wasn't allowed to enter into. 


Rather, where Samuel lay was an adjacent room that served as the Priests' quarters. This quarters allowed the Priests to get up early and carry out the morning priestly duties. 


As for Samuel, his proximity to the Ark of Covenant was the closest. This young lad although not allowed to enter the holiest place did all he could to be as close as possible. 


As a result, God saw his availability and gave him a message unto Eli.


This is reminiscent of Joshua who couldn't go up all the way to the top of the mountain of God like Moses did, but he stayed as close as he could.


In the end, God chose him (Joshua) to be the next leader of Israel.


The principle of desiring to be close to the presence of God is fundamental if one seeks to be a spiritual access point.


You can't be far from God and expect your life to serve as a portal to God. 


Men whose lives have made others gain easy access to the Divine realm have a passionate, unending desire to be constantly in God's Presence. 


Nothing else matters for these men except God's Presence. For where God's presence is nothing is impossible. 


I pray that a deep and unquenchable desire for the presence of God erupt within your spirit man in Jesus name.


Have a 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...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
