(TEXT : 1 Corinthians 16:9)
For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
FOCUS :
The journey to the top it’s not always come with an easy task, but with patients and sacrifices. God might have given you victory as a believer, but you will still have to show the ownership proof of that victory. Yes, God has opened the door for you and not just an ordinary door, but “a great door.” Meaning, the greater your door, the greater your opposite. And you must be prepared and stand your grand to claim your victory.
Luke 12:48
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Proverbs 16:7-9 When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
In addition, there are some doors that you don’t have to knock before opening itself to you as a believer naturally; but instead of it to open to you naturally, you will need to force it open because the door is wickedly closed. There are many enemies of progress and enemies of success in the lives of every believers. For the “great door” the Lord has opened unto you to stay opened, you have to stay connected to Him who has the master key to all opened doors and to all closed doors.
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.
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.
Finally, the wishes of all the enemies over the believers are always that, there should be no way to access their “great doors.” And even the believers can close their own doors through ignorant such as: pride, gossiping, laziness, prayerless, carelessness, unforgivness, grudges, hypocrisy, sexual immorality, abomination, envy, hatred, unbelief, doubtful, corruptions among the believers, greediness, and a believer longing for power or positions that he or she cannot even maintain or sustain. If you want your door to be opened or to remain opened, what skill (spiritual skills) do you have to keep it opened? Remember, prayer, fasting, and the Word of God are part of the “Spiritual Skills” you must have to keep the door opened.
Matthew 12:43-45 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
