Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Jacob Had Connection With God
Scripture.
Genesis 35:6-7 KJV
"So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him. And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother".
Message:
Altars in the old testament are symbolic of places of divine connection, they are symbolic of the place of prayer and places of relationship with God. Jacob had a personal relationship with God, no wonder God was always appearing to him and giving him angelic encounters. Everywhere Jacob got to, He erected Altars. He had a definite relationship and connection with God. Do you have a personal altar not to talk of family altar? How is your spiritual life?
Altars are places of prayer, divine connection & relationship with God. A man or person of prayer will always enjoy divine encounters and direction. Prayer is divine invitation for divinity to visit humanity. I believe Jacob prayed before he slept with a stone as a pillow as he ran away from his brother, no wonder God showed up to him. In Genesis 33:20 (KJV), the Bible says, "And he erected there an altar, and called it El-elohe-Israel".
The scriptures says in Gen. 35:6-7 (KJV), "So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him. And he built there an altar, and called the place El-beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother". When Jacob woke up from the encounter he had with God in Gen. 28v18, he rose up and took a stone and poured oil on it.
You will not find a place in the Bible where Esau or Samson raised any altar unto God, no wonder their destiny collapsed. Their spiritual life was watered down and nothing to write home about. They were just doing everything by chance, no prayer life, no relationship with God etc. Have you seen anywhere in Esau's lifetime where God spoke to him or an account where he heard God's voice? But for Jacob his twin Brother, everywhere he went, he heard God. You will not fail!
