VEIL UNTAKEN!

 Veil is simply something spread out to hide or protect the face of an object from view. Synonymously, a veil could also be seen as a blind. Most people have blinds in their various homes which is intended to cover up their windows particularly from undue access to people outside the house.

In the old testament, we were made to see that there was a tabernacle of worship and there exists a veil which demarcated the tabernacle into an holy place and the holiest place (hebrews 9:2-3) and the veil served as a covering to the tabernacle which is called is the holiest of all. This tabernacle was such that the first one was always entered by the priests to accomplish their service to God (hebrews 9:6) and the second one was always entered once in a year by the high priest only going in with the blood of lambs and bullocks to serve as sanctification for his errors and that of his people. This allowed for a veil covering this inner tabernacle so others would not have undue access to it due to the content there in. All of this happened before the coming of the Messiah. But what happened after the birth and death of Christ? it was recorded that that same veil which served as a demarcation was torn into two and there ceased to be the covering which has been from the start. This signifies that the death of Christ brought about an end to unrestricted access to the Father, His death made the veil to be taken away and anyone could talk to the holiest of all without the interference of any high priest. All of these was made possible through Christ's blood that was shed on the cross as a replacement to the blood of lambs and bullocks in the old testament and  hereby giving us the the opportunity to be even as a priest of ourselves. No wonder these days, we could go on our knees and talk to the Father as we wish and He answers us speedily.

In essence, the old veil has been untaken  and there is no thing of limitation to our access to the Holiest of all  this is as a result of the blood of Christ shed on the cross of calvary serving as an atonement for our sins and giving us the grace to always appear before him blameless once we acknowledge our sins and ask for his forgiveness.Therefore, we should endeavor to make use of this great opportunity judiciously by praying, studying His word and following his commandments so as to fully utilize this great avenue efficiently.


PRAYER POINT: Lord Jesus, the ability to recognise your grace over my life and use it judiciously  give unto me. AMEN

Workers in the vineyard

 When I was younger, I remembered visiting a marble company, There I saw different stages of how the marble is being processed and finally done. I remembered that the several stages in the production was allocated to different people to ensure a smooth and successful completion of the marble. While I was reading through the books of Mathew 20, the phrase workers in the vineyards caught my attention and this reminded me of my introductory story. Here, we are made to see an illustration of individuals working in a vineyard to achieve a common goal and how they are  paid the same wages at the end of the day. What does this mean to us as believers? just as the bible records it in 1 Cor 12: 1-27, we are all different parts of the same body working towards the same goal of populating the kingdom of God, we should not overestimate ourselves. In Mathew 20, the bible records it that those that have been working in the vineyard since dawn and those who just joined an hour to the end of ...

God's Laws Versus God's Promise

A father who lives in the diaspora once had a son and for some reasons his son cannot come along with him. Nevertheless, he kept on investing and was lucrative in his business. This man got a guardian to keep his son in track while he was away and he wrote his will so that when he is away permanently his possession could be given to his child by the guardian on reaching a specified age written in his will. He did this so that the child could be rightly led and could have come of age not to mismanage the properties. Going through the books of Galatians, I had a deeper understanding of God's laws and God's promises. Firstly, we have sins, laws and promises. Literally, Sin is anything detestable to God, God's laws are the guidance from God given alongside the promise to reveal to people their sins (Gal 3:19). God's law was given until the fulfilment of the promise. God's promise is simply grace in the human form of Christ Jesus. Going back to my introductory story, the...

A New Wine

                                       Going through the books of Joel, The word new wine caught my attention. What does it symbolizes? The book of Joel made it known that scripturally, a new wine can be likened to Joy. In today's world where depression is raging amidst different age groups, it is an undeniable fact that almost everyone knows the importance of genuine joy to humanity. A feeling that is of an inestimable value! Joel chapter 1 and 2 emphasizes on the reproach faced by the children of Israel due to their disobedience causing the new wine dry up which eventually led to spiritual declination and making them a prey in the hands of their enemies. This symbolically means due to our disobedience as children of God, we could loose our inheritance before Abba which we had from time being ( Joel 1:10). Have we ever thought of a point in our lives, where things were so easy for us, or...
