The Price For Open Heavens. 1
“Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Matthew 3:13-17. KJV.”
Heavens will not open over anyone without having done specific things that will command the blessings! The Bible told us clearly that our Lord Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptised by John! I checked up the distance on Google and what I found amazed at humble me at the same time!
*Galilee to Jordan is an astonishing 245kilometers,* which is a journey of five hours, their day is when there is no luxury we have today, our Lord Jesus traveled on foot to show His earnestness for open heavens!
Ibadan to Akure is a journey of 177km; *3hrs 20mins.*
Ibadan to Okitipupa is 197km; *3hrs 40mins.*
*Ibadan to Owo is 220km; 4hrs, 20mins.* This is closer to what our Lord Jesus trekked to experience His open heavens! What price have you paid to experience Open Heavens? What price are you paying that will command open heavens over your life and endeavour?
What are you doing that will make sure you’re not denied open heavens? When you do nothing, you receive nothing, there will be no gains without paying the price, and you can’t have the prize without paying the price!
*Reflection:* you can’t have the prize without paying the price.
Prayer:
• my Father, command the heavens to open over my life and endeavour in Jesus name.
• my labour, speak and yield open heavens for me in life and ministry in Jesus name. (Proverbs 14:23.)
• my Father, look down from heavens and reward my labour in Jesus name.
• I receive grace to keep paying the price for open heavens in Jesus name.
