YOUR SEASON OF OPEN DOORS

-

 


1 Corinthians 16:9 KJV

[9] For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.


Doors are systems to access. It can be entrance or exit. They can be bridge to something wonderful or barriers. Every time you see a door, you are faced with a need to make a choice. You decide whether you should walk past or you walk through. A lot of factors will be responsible for your decision as you don’t know what lies ahead. It is only the Holy Spirit that knows all things and can lead you correctly. The fact that God leads you or opens a door for you doesn’t mean you won’t face challenges. The enemy always stand as an obstruction to great things but Jesus already dealt with him. He has given you the victory. 

God can shut a door for something greater ( maybe promotion, protection and so on). God shut Noah in. Prison door was shut on Joseph for promotion. That loss of job, quit notice, doctors report will take you to a great testimony in Jesus name.


Your proximity to a door, does not guarantee accessibility. No matter how desperate you are to go through, you can’t pass through a door that is not opened (and you don’t have the key). 


The word of God can be the spiritual keys that you need to open doors. The word of God is the same as the God of the word. The word of God opens the door to the works of God. When your word comes, your chain breaks. Door of manifestation opened to Jesus when He found what was written concerning Him. Your revelation becomes your manifestation. 


Some times you need to knock for the door to open. Matt7:7 says knock and it shall be opened to you. Knocking requires patience and persistence. 

You can knock the door through prayers. Elijah’s prayer closed the heavens so that there was no rain. He prayed again after three and half years and there was rain. The church prayed continually for Peter when Herod put him in prison and a miracle happened. The angel of the Lord led him out of the prison. Everyone that has been held bound in any way, will experience the supernatural hand of God. You will experience a testimony that looks like a dream as Peter did.

You can knock through praise and worship. Praise is acknowledging the supremacy of God which allows God to move in your circumstance. Paul and Silas praised God in the prison and their bands were supernaturally let loose. Use your weapon of praise. 


However not all doors are meant for you. So you need the spirit of discernment. You will not walk through the door the enemy opened in Jesus name. Enjoy open doors in Jesus name.

Shalom

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

-
I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
