SPECIAL OPEN DOORS TO GREATNESS
Ministering: ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MRS AKANBI ABOSEDE
God is opening special doors to your greatness tonight. Every closed door against your greatness is open now. All the doors that ought not to be opened are shut permanently in the name of Jesus Christ. God is raising great men and women here tonight in the name of Jesus Christ.
Open doors mean progress, advancement, being able to go through, unhindered access to a place. It depends on where you stand that will determine the kind of open doors you desires. There are open doors to fertility; good jobs; good health; good home etc. All these doors shall be opened to you in the name of Jesus Christ. In this year convention many keys shall be handed over to you.
The key that was lost in the Garden of Eden was what Jesus Christ came to the world to restore back to mankind. Genesis 1:28, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” That was our birth right at creation. But Satan snatched the key from us. That was why people have to struggle to get what they deserve and desire in life. But John 10:9, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” But Jesus Christ came to the world to retrieve the key Satan snatched from us through the back door. Jesus Christ came so that the doors of opportunities and doors greatness might be opened to us. The answers to closed doors are the keys. Do you know that it is possible that the keys can be kept around your vicinity, but your spiritual eyes are not opened to see the key?
WHAT SHUT THE DOOR OF GREATNESS AGAINST YOU?
- Iniquities: Every manifestation of flesh in you shut the doors of greatness against you. Luke 13:25-27, “25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.”
- Ignorance: If you do not have the required knowledge, Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”
- Adversaries: They are door blockers 1 Corinthians 16:9, “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” Adversaries delayed Israelites for 430years Zechariah 1:17-19, “17Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. 18Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns. 19And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.” Tonight, God will set opening doors before you that no adversary can close in the name of Jesus Christ.
KEYS THAT OPEN DOORS TO GREATNESS:
- The word of God: Hebrew 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
- The application of the words of God. Psalms 24:7, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.”
- The fear of the Lord Psalms 25:14, “The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.”
- Your character Job 1:1, “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.” The personality traits that define a man. King Saul had a charisma, but lacked character. Favour can open a door to you, what will sustain you is your character. Anointing is good, but character will perfect it. Until God changes your heart, He may not change your story.
- Skillfulness. Open doors are the functions of skills. As you are aspiring for higher heights, you must have required skills to take you there.
- Constant prayers will open doors of greatness for you
- Power of praise will open doors to higher heights. Psalms 24:7, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.” Psalms 119:164, “Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.”
Prayer:
- I decree all the good doors that have been shut against me be opened now in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Revelation 3:8, “I know thy works: behold, 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.” Doors of good jobs be opened, door of fertility be opened, doors of admission be opened, doors of good health be opened, doors of marriages be opened, doors of divine connection be opened in the name of Jesus Christ.
- Lift up your heads o ye gates, ancient gates, gate of iron, gates of brass be opened now in the name of Jesus Christ.
