roken B WALL THE
PASTOR CHARLES OMOFOMAH
14 For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his esh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God. Ephesians 2:14-19 (KJV)
The wall that separated you from God has been broken! In this article, we will elaborate on three truths that guarantee this statement.
You Are No Longer Separated The rst truth we will look at is that you are no longer separated from God. By the sins of our forefathers, we were separated from God, but the good news is that we are no longer separated. Verse 14 of our main text says, “For He is our peace”. Peace means ceasing from separation, ceasing from hostility. God almighty is no longer hostile towards you. The reason is that there is peace between God and you. No matter the gravity of sin you may have committed, as long as you went on your knees and asked Him in pure sincerity of
heart to forgive you, then He is no longer hostile towards you. Therefore, you are His friend, and you can be healed today. The basis of your friendship is the covenant. God is not holding a big stick in His grip, ready to strike you at every little mistake you make, that is not the kind of God I serve. My Jesus is able to put His arms around me and say, “I am your brother”. 11 For both He who sancties and those who are being sanctied are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren. Hebrews 2:11
He that sancties and they that are sanctied are of one, and for this cause, He is not ashamed to call you brother or sister, that is what the Bible says. Andrew Womack would refer to this as: too good to be true gospel, but it is true! Jesus is your best friend, not because of what you have done or not done, but because of His covenant. Unlike the blood of Abel that spoke of revenge (Hebrews 12:24), Jesus' blood, which was spilled on an eternal timeline, spoke of mercy. We were not good enough; it was only through His compassion. The ordinances of the Old Testament law that we could not fulll, He has wiped away. You are no longer the man you were before; you are completely transformed, transgured, metamorphosed,

changed and a saint of God. The wall that separated you and God has been broken.
You Have Access To The Father The second truth is that the wall separating you from God has been broken and because of that, you have access and there is now reconciliation. Seeing you brings joy to the Father. You can wake up in the morning and say, “God, I know that You have forgiven me of my sins and You are smiling at me”. God is not angry with you, He loves you. 1 Peter 5:5b says that God gives grace to the humble and resists the proud. That phrase “resist the proud” means that God sets up as an army against the proud. God arrays Himself as an army against the proud. God is against those who are against you. Any enemy of yours is an enemy of God, and so, God sets Himself up as an army against them. Can you beat that? Sickness, diseases, barrenness are all against you, and therefore, they are enemies of God. One angel can do a lot, how much more when God makes Himself an army for you. That sickness or disease cannot stand a chance against you. Recognize the fact that God is for you, there is reconciliation, and there is no enmity any more. Whenever I think of access, the story of Esther comes to mind. Ordinarily, she was not supposed to appear before the king because if anyone did and the king did not stretch the golden scepter towards them, they were automatically put to death. However, Esther did, even when she was not authorized to, but the king granted her access and favour. He stretched his scepter towards her and said, “What do you want? Even up to half of my kingdom will I give to you” (Esther 5:3). Child of God, you have access, because the King of kings has stretched His golden scepter towards you.

A golden scepter symbolizes the best. The Bible says in Romans 8:32, “He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?” Don't think you are not good enough to receive God's healing. Stretch out your hand in faith, even as you are reading this article and receive your healing. God is not like a native doctor who will tell you to crawl on the ground before He can do anything for you. No, just obey His Word, and that healing is effected forever. In Ephesians 2:13, the Bible says that you who were far have been made near. When you are near somebody, you know his or her secrets, as seen in a marriage relationship. You have been brought nearer to God, take advantage of it. God does not want you sick and diseased, He wants you to have the best in every way. Don't you just love God?
You Have The Fullness of God 21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: 1 Corinthians 3:21
The third truth is that you have the fullness of God, and that is why God says all things are yours. Don't act like the elder brother of the prodigal son (Luke 15:28-30), get a revelation that all things are yours through the provision of our Lord Jesus Christ. You have a God who is sitting in heaven, and He is making the earth His footstool and doing all the miracles for you, He never sleeps nor slumbers. If you want to celebrate, go ahead and do so. Indeed, the wall that separated you from God has been broken, all things are yours, and you have access to them all.
