YOUR HEAVEN MUST BE OPEN
Bible Reading: Luke 3:21-22
“Now
when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being
baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a
bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said,
Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.” Luke 3:21-22
The
heaven opened for Jesus Christ before He was announced. Heaven is the dwelling
place of God. Deut. 26:15, 1Kings 8:30, 2Chronicles 30:27, Luke 11:2, Acts 7:49
It is a
place where the earth is rules. Everything on earth is originated from heaven.
Only those that experience open heaven can manifest the glory of God on earth.
Every human being is living under heaven but the heaven must open.
Prophet
Isaiah makes it clear that, everyone must cry unto God for open heaven.
“Oh
that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the
mountains might flow down at thy presence, As when the melting fire burneth,
the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine
adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! When thou didst
terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed
down at thy presence.” Isaiah
64:1-3
The words
“rend” in the above scripture means to “tear open, to rip to pieces, to part." As a Christian,
we can stimulate the heart of God to open the windows of heaven for blessing in
our lives. It is our responsibilities to inspire and stimulate our heavenly
Father (God) for open heaven. We cannot achieve or fulfill our dreams as long
as we lives or operate under close heaven. Heaven must open for us to
experiences the promises of God for our life.
In the
above Scriptures, Prophet Isaiah was crying unto God to tear heaven, to open
it. When the heaven is open, or tear open, many unusual things happens. If
haven close, nothing good happens

WHAT YOU MUST DO BEFORE HEAVEN CAN OPEN FOR
YOU?
Beloved,
heaven cannot open for anyone until you position yourself and applying the
principles. Those that experienced open heaven in the Scriptures applying the
keys and they see result. Therefore you must kin and keep to the following
principles:
v Obedience: the first principle is
obedience to God – Deut. 28:1-2, 12
“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt
hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all
his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set
thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come
on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD
thy God.” Deut 8:1-2
There are several promises of
God for every believer, and these promises have principles or rules. You cannot
just earn God’s promises without obeying the rules. Deuteronomy chapter 28
started with the condition or what you must do in order to experiences the
promises in verses 2 to 14. The key word in the verses is OBEDIENCE.
Now, let combine the verses
together to see how your obedience will open heaven for you:
“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt
hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all
his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set
thee on high above all nations of the earth: The LORD shall open unto thee his
good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to
bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and
thou shalt not borrow.” Deut.28:1,
12.
Do you see how your obedience
will open heaven for you? Well, let me show you another verses in the
Scripture:
“Bring ye all the tithes into the
storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith,
saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour
you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachi
3:10
The above verse of the
Scripture is a command with promises. God said, bring all your tithes into the
storehouse (house of God-church). When you bring it, then I will open the
windows of heaven and pour out blessing unto your work, business, job,
marriage, academic, etc. There is no room that will be enough to accumulate the
blessings that God will pour unto you if you pay ALL your TITHES.
Your obedience to the Scripture
is the key to blessing of God. Since you had been enjoying the blessing of God
through this ministry, how much have you contribute to the ministry? How much
of your TITHE you have paid to this
ministry? Pay your TITHE to this ministry is obedience to God and His blessing
will pour unto you.
v Praying: The second principle
for heaven to open for you is praying attitudes. If you truly want to see the heavens open
over your business, job, marriage, family, ministry, school and nation, it is
going involve you in series of genuine fervent prayers. Consistent and
persistent in prayer is our responsibility for us to experience open heaven.
The Bible makes it clear that, when Jesus was praying, the heaven opened unto
Him. “…
it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was
opened, And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him,
and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am
well pleased.”
When Jesus was PRAYING, the heaven opened.
The heaven was NOT open when Jesus is PLAYING. Praying and Playing are two
different things, and person must engage in one at a particular time. In other
words, is either you are PRAYING or you are PLAYING. Mind you, both have
reward. The reward of PRAYING is that the heaven will open, while result of
PLAYING is that the heaven will close. Be wise!
Apostle Peter is
another man that heaven opened unto him when he was praying.
“…Peter
went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: And he became very
hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
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: Wherein were
all manner of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping
things, and fowls of the air. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill,
and eat.” Acts 10:9-13
Peter
was in the housetop praying and the heaven opened unto him. Peter was alone in
the housetop, he was hungry. Your spiritual hunger for the spiritual things is
avenue for you to receive unusual things from heaven. Not only that the heaven
is opened unto Peter, but a voice came from heaven and instructed him what to
do. Be alone with God in fervent and persistent in prayer have a long way for
your success this year.
Prophet Isaiah is
another man that prayed in the Scripture and the heaven opened. “Oh
that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the
mountains might flow down at thy presence, As when the melting fire burneth,
the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine
adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! When thou didst
terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed
down at thy presence.” Isaiah 64:1-3.
Prophet
Isaiah major concern in his prayer unto God is for heaven to be open. He
lamented and crying unto God. His persistent and committed in prayer for open
heaven is unusual in the Bible.
