Having Access To Your Creator

- By J.A. Shodeinde

IT pleases God that y ou have access to Him. Is it possible for the son of a wealthy man to live in abject poverty or can a Prince/princess wear rags? Many would say it’s impossible. The prodigal son lost contact/access to his father and his life was miserable. One day, he made the uttermost decision to get back to his father, and his life became meaningful. Through Christ we can have access to God. John 14:6 says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father , but by me.” Jesus had to die for our sin and shed His blood so we could have access to the father. Accepting the death and resurrecti­on of Jesus is of a necessity to get closer to the creator. The gate to the throne of God can be opened through the Holy Spirit. He creates for you a bridge and an access road to see the father easily. When the Holy Spirit is in you, you can connect to the throne of grace without stress.

Through faith Abraham gained more access to his creator. Joshua and Caleb likewise. “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritanc­e, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing where he went” (Hebrews 11:8). Abraham got the reward of his faith. God may be ministerin­g to you to help someone in need around you. Do you have faith in God’s word?

Your connection with God is sure through prayer. A prayerful Christian is a powerful Christian and a prayer-less Christian is a powerless Christian. When Haman sought to destroy Mordecai and the Jews, they prayed, fasted, and God delivered them from their enemies. Your problems and worries have an expiring date, only if you have access to your creator, you will be able to read God’s mind over the issues you have. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

Do not ignore the house of God. Find a church where the true gospel is being preached around you. We are in a world full of satanic temptation­s, affliction­s, sorrows and pains. W e need God’s grace to survive them all, and finish our race on earth as victors. “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

Let the wicked seek access to the creator of all now, before it’s too late. You don’t know when the owner of your soul will ask for it. “Seek you the LORD while he may be found, call y ou on him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6).

The Lord has promised you rest, peace of mind, protection, abundant blessings, and above all, a place in his kingdom, when your journey ends on earth. All y ou need is access to Him. God bless.
