Genesis 28:10
The revelation of God is the sudden appearance of the hidden
knowledge of God concerning an individual’s life.
In Genesis 28:10,
Jacob is leaving Beersheba, from Gerar probably after sojourning there for some
extensive reasons that many Hebrew theologians have endeavored to dissect
consequently coming up with many conclusions whose discussion I prefer to
preserve for later.
He is leaving Beersheba
traveling towards Haran and if we are to remember Haran is the same place that
Terah-Jacob’s great grandfather arrived, rested stayed and died.
And immediately after Terah ‘s death God called
Abraham-Jacob’s grandfather out of Haran-the place where Terah Abraham’s
father, arrived, rested, stayed, and died.
And now it’s pretty obvious that Jacob is exhausted and
tired by the time he arrives in Haran and in order to make sure that he does not
rest, stay, and die in the same place Terah died.
God suddenly appears to Jacob and gives him knowledge of
plans he has for his mortal life, plans that were hidden to Jacob till this
very experience.
And just like destiny should have it, the place where God
appears unto Jacob in form of a dream is the kind of place whose identity is
hidden to Jacob.
In fact all that Jacob knows and understands is that it’s a good
place to set up for the night.
Without realizing that it was actually a good place because it
was consecrated and sanctified unto God as a dwelling place when Abram set up
an altar and dedicated it to the Lord and he worshiped the Lord in Genesis
12:8.
So when Jacob awakes he calls the locality the house of God
by his Hebrew dialect translating “Bethel”.
From this point on, whether you believe it or not but many
times than not if not all the time the instruction by God will lead to a place
of revelatory experience.
Which experience ultimately exposes you to the revelation of
God and by now you should actually understand that the revelation of God is the
knowledge of God concerning what he promised himself to accomplish and achieve
in an individual’s life-time.
Consequently whatever God promised himself to accomplish in
the course of an individual’s life-time becomes God’s plan for that given
individual.
As a matter of fact, the revelation of God is clear
fore-running knowledge that whatever plan God has for your life is near
completion, and close to coming to pass in your life.
It’s as a shout and a cry like one which was made in Matthew
25:6”At midnight there was a cry made
,”Behold the bridegroom comes go ye
out meet him, awakening the promised one
of God that the plan of God for his life is coming to pass.
It is as a siren that goes a head of a presidential
entourage while giving warning for many to make way.
See my dear friends the plan of God cannot be hindered and
it can’t be stopped, anyone who tries to be in its way t will be forced out of
the way and even run over.
Whatever God promised him-self to do in your life he will
accomplish and achieve.
