4-23-2009 . . . .Your Open Door!
There is an implicit blessing declared in the opening verses of the book of Revelation. Specifically, verse three declares “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. (Rev 1:3 KJV) That’s just mind blowing! By reading. . . .by hearing the word of the prophecy. . . .by keeping those things written therein, a blessing comes upon us! What blessing? There are many, but here is just one. “ . . . Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it . . .” This moment you have just read the word. . . .you have heard it again in your spirit, now keep what has been written and by faith, walk through the open door set before you today! Each one of us has a different door, but an open door nonetheless. The open door represents opportunity! Opportunity may manifest itself in many ways. While it may not be a new job, home, car or other material blessings, it may be the opportunity to renew a relationship. . . .sow a seed into someone’s life. . . .put a smile on someone’s face! It may be giving a ride to a perfect stranger or walking up to someone at the gas station and paying for their gas. Mine is not to say what the opportunity is, but only to remind you and exhort you to know that it is there! It is exclusively yours. God has opened it and no man, woman or devil in hell can shut it. All praise be to God! “This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.” (Ps 118:23 KJV)

Prayer: Lord, Thank you for blessing me and setting before me this day an open door of opportunity. I believe that by you bringing me to it, you have equipped me to go through it! Bless your holy name, Amen!
Rev 3:7-9. . . . "Write this letter to the leader of the church in Philadelphia. "This message is sent to you by the one who is holy and true and has the key of David to open what no one can shut and to shut what no one can open. "I know you well; you aren't strong, but you have tried to obey and have not denied my Name. Therefore, I have opened a door to you that no one can shut. "Note this: I will force those supporting the causes of Satan while claiming to be mine (but they aren't-they are lying) to fall at your feet and acknowledge that you are the ones I love. TLB

Thank you Elder Broadnax.
ReplyDeleteThis should truly encourage all of us
to seize whatever opportunity God places
before us. These are difficult times we
live in. Often times we become fearful to
move forward. We will never know what
awaits us until we trust God, and walk
through that open door. E.L.B.
