OPEN DOOR

December 17, 2013

When you go to someone’s office and you see his door opened, something tells you, “You are free to enter.” But on the other hand, if the door is locked, you would be forced to lock and or ask someone what the protocol for entering is. The Bible has much to say about open doors but many times – even as Christians – we seem to face obstacles on our path and in our ministry. Blocked doors can be VERY frustrating.

Open doors in life mean opportunity, progress and promotion. Apostle Peter enjoyed it. Apostle Paul did. God’s desire for each and every one of us is to enjoy open doors. You aren’t just placed on this earth to stumble around in the dark trying to find out what you should do. The God of the Universe is interested in you. He has a plan for you; He has a pathway for you. The Bible says in Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths.”

Even when it feels like all doors are closed despite all efforts to have it opened, relax, don’t fidget, Rev 3:8 says, “I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” However, open door is not automatic, it has to be provoked. Righteousness is one key that keeps one’s door permanently opened while sin is a blockage. Lev 26:18-19 says, “And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass.”

Do you want to enjoy perpetual open door? Stay away from sin. As you do so, before you knock on a door, it shall open in Jesus Name. Amen!
