DCLM Sincere Milk 19 April 2024 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Remove the Vail
Topic: Remove the Vail
Text: 2 Corinthians 3:12-18
12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
14But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
15But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
16Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Key Verse: “Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.” 2 Corinthians 3:16
Message
The vail is used as a covering over a place. It was used in the temple at the time of the Old Testament to cover the holy of holies so no one would see the priest when he was receiving instructions and revelations from God. When Moses came back from mount Sinai where he had gone to receive the law, he had to cover his face with a vail because of the shining glory on his face. From behind the vail, Moses read God’s covenant to the people. Today we are in the period of grace which is the New Testament period, the physical vail has been removed, “and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” We do not need to go through Moses or any of the prophets to speak to God, we now have direct access unto the Father through Jesus Christ.

You have the liberty to call on God for your needs and it shall be granted unto you. You do not need to go through a prophet or priest to make your request known to God, Hallelujah. The vail has been removed, we now have free access to God the Father, so whatever be your challenge today, God is there to meet you at the point of your need.
Further Reading: Exodus 34:27-35
Prayer for today: Let every vail blocking my blessings be removed today in Jesus’ Name.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
