The Open Door!

Have you noticed that when a Word from the Lord goes forth concerning you, it looks as if something had positioned itself to stop the Word from coming to pass? Unfortunately, instead of patiently waiting for it, so many get disillusioned and weary; a lot enter the trap of doubt and unbelief, mope around and everything they do or say is colored with their feelings. This is not strange or new! However, if you are in this ship, do disembark and walk in faith; remember that your unfaithfulness will not make the Lord unfaithful. If He has spoken then He will bring it to pass. No matter how much you mope or go around feeling sorry for yourself, it will not hasten what He had said rather you will delay it by your actions and unpreparedness. In 1 Corinthians 16:9 Apostle Paul says, "There is a great and effective door open to me, and there are many adversaries." This is the way of the Kingdom. Spiritual opportunity is always accompanied by opposition: Open door - many adversaries! They're like Siamese twins. It is important for you to understand this as it explains some of the storms you may be going through right now. Understand that, if God is about to use you the devil will begin to fight you in order to disqualify you. The devil knows this is the only time he's got to stop you so as not to fulfill the will of God. The great preacher Charles Spurgeon once said, "The greatest sign of God's will and power is the devil's growl." Maybe you're hearing the growl right now. Friend, that is good!  Be strengthened because there is an open door!  Please do understand that Open Door means many adversaries. If there is an opportunity, then expect opposition. Satan knows it's going to be hard to stop you once God's plans really starts to unfold. He's got to get you before you go through the door.  And you know what; his tool will not always be an obvious connection to the Open Door. He may go after your health, your family, your car, your prayer life, your money, your job etc. The devil doesn't give up ground easily, but Praise God he's already defeated. If God starts opening doors and gives you opportunities, do begin to pray more intensely for protection for you and yours and do remain faithful to God’s Word. The Bible says that "He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by His cross." Remain in the Secret Place of the Most High, dwelling under His Shadow, where no enemy can touch you. As you wait to enter through the Open Door, pray against discouragement, depression, and weariness when you encounter a push back from the other side. When you encounter this ‘push back’ it actually means something very important is about to happen. Serving the Lord is much like playing American football. As soon as you start gaining ground spiritually, the other side starts to come after you to attack and stop you. When you charge, they charge! As for you, just keep focused and your face set as a flint towards the goal; running towards the open door, because you have the Son of God, Jesus Christ blocking for you. The grace to remain steadfast in Him is released to you in Jesus Christ name. God bless you.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

Are You A True Disciple? Part 1

       This decade opened with very dire straits for mankind, as many people around the world woke up to a world that stood still as each nation shut their borders, homes and institutions shutting their doors. If many had been told this scenario could happen a couple of decades ago, one would say it was crazily impossible. But it did happen! Many lives and livelihoods were destroyed, and many institutions and lifestyles, including the Church, were affected. As terrible as the times were and still are, it is exposing the hearts and state of many 'sons of God'!         Many wondered aloud, 'What does the devil want for causing all this havoc?' And some went further to ask, 'What does God want?' The answer to both questions is 'Man' (male and female)! It is a battle between the Kingdom of God and darkness for the soul of man. As a result, man is being prepared both by God and the devil for eternity with either!         ...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...
