But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries 

1 Corinthians 16:8-9 (KJV)

I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture

John 10:9 (KJV)

I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name

Revelation 3:8 (NIV)

 

Doors represent a way of passage, access, transition.  God opens doors for the redeemed, and when He does it is impossible for any obstacle to successfully get in the way of His purposes. But 1Corinthians 16:9 ​tells us that even though God has opened a great door fo us, there are still adversaries that prevent us from having access.

These adversaries could be from:

  • Self  - Rom 7:18 (KJV) - For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not."

  • Other Christians - Rom 14:21 (KJV) - It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak."

  • Enemies - Prov 4:16 (KJV) - For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall."

  • Our past and bad attitudes.

  • Then we have Satan himself who is our biggest adversaries that hinders us and challenges our redemption rights.  

Keys To Open Doors:

  • Praise (Acts 16:22-27)

  • Prayer (Acts 12:1-7/Luke 11:5-10/Matthew 7:7/John 14:14) 

  • Discernment (Corinthians 16:9/Revelation 3:8)

  • Courage (Psalm 24:7-8/Psalm 24:7-8)

  • Giving (Malachi 3:6-10)

 

Ways To Shut Open Doors:

  • Sin (James 4:17)

  •  Lack Of Vigilance and Prayerlessness (Matthew 26:41/Mark 11:23/Ecclesiastes 9:11)

  • Not keeping God's Word 

  • Denying God's Name (Revelation 3:11-12)


Open doors mean great opportunities and God can open any door no matter the adversaries, storms and tribulations in our way. Come for Next Sunday's services expecting an encounter with the master key Himself. Those who thought you were finished are going to be dazzled by your success because your door to explosive progress will be opened. In an instant, God will put to an end to all your challenges and miraculously level every one of your mountains and perpetual hill.
Please come with an expectant heart and endeavor to come along with your converts, invitees, friends, colleagues, loved ones, family members and neighbors for a life changing encounter with God.


Jesus is Lord!!!
