The Windows Of Heaven – 1

Apostle Grace Lubega

Genesis 7:11(KJV); In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

The Windows Of Heaven - 1The first time the windows of heaven are mentioned, God points us to the judgments of grace.

We see that the windows were opened this first time to release waters upon the earth.

Why does this experience in scripture reveal the judgments of grace? It is because by the law of first mention(which is a law of biblical interpretation), the word grace first appears in the scriptures in regard to Noah. The Bible in Genesis 6:8 says, ‘But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.’

He found grace because he believed and this was counted as righteousness. The difference between Noah and the men of his generation was faith. In Hebrews 11:7, the Bible says, ‘By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.’

This teaches us that these windows of heaven are preservers of the just, men who believe because the just are those that live by faith(Hebrews 10:38).

The same windows that killed others in the flood, floated a man and his household to salvation because he believed God.

When the windows of heaven are opened to you, they will keep you from sinking. When men fall you will stand; when they drown you will float; when they struggle you will thrive; when their stars dim, yours will shine brighter.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

When the windows of heaven are opened to you, they will keep you from sinking. When men fall you will stand, when they drown you will float; when they struggle you will thrive; when stars dim, yours will shine brighter.

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this great wisdom. I thank you for the dispensation of your grace in which I live. Thank you for the simplicity by which you draw us and keep us. You have bridged the gap between divinity and humanity through this simplicity of faith. I believe you God. I know that the windows of heaven, open to men of faith and I am a child of faith. It is my mark and essence. The world looks at me and sees a believer. To the glory of your name, Amen.
