Text: Genesis 28:10-14
And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Jacob was running away from home when his brother, Esau vowed to kill him after subtly taking his blessing. Isaac wanted to bless Esau, but Jacob deceived him to receive the blessings.
While running away, night fell and he needed to sleep on the road. He saw some stones, used them as pillow, he slept and had a great dream as described in the bible verses above.
His contact with the ancient altar of his ancestors marked the beginning of a nnew order in his life
Now what is the correlation between the stone and the dream? The stones Jacob used as pillow were the stones Abraham, his grand father, used to set up an altar unto God more than 120 years before that time.
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him -Genesis 12:7.
The altar Abraham built served as the registry or library of the generational covenant God entered with Him. The day Jacob had a contact with the ancient altar of his father's house, the covenant of the generation started to affect him.
How many times have you contacted the materials of the ancient altars of your generation? What kind of altars are they? What type of covenants were the altars raised to uphold? Were they built to God or to idols?
What about those sacred places in your community? Think about the shrines in your family yard. Don't forget the covens, grooves, and the ancient sacred places around you.
A contact with any of them is a contact with the dieties and the covenants they represent.
A contact with God's altar will release the blessings of the altar into your life. A contact with idol altar also releases curses. You may need to pray seriously to free yourself from evil you might have inherited through your contact with evil altars.
My prayer for you today: I pray that God will open your eyes to know the area where you need divine intervention to be freed from the influence of satanic altar, and also to set you free in Jesus name.
scripture meditation - Judges 6:25-26 And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
Stay blessed.
