Topic: Doors And Oppositions.

Memory Verse: 1 Corinthians 16:9. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

Bible Reading :1 Corinthians 16:5-8 KJV. Key Verse: v9.

Now I will come unto you when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go. For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit. But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.

Apostle Paul is talking about doors that were opened unto him for the furtherance of the gospel of our Lord Jesus, but there were many contentions or oppositions to overcome before he could take maximum advantage of such. Doors are entrances as well as outlets to places. No man will have access to anybody or place whose door is shut against such individual. Some delays and hindrances we experience in certain areas of life is because doors that need to open in such areas were yet to respond. “Write the following to the messenger of the congregation in Philadelphia, for these are the solemn words of the Holy One, the true one, who has David’s key, who opens doors that none can shut and who closes doors that none can open: I know all that you’ve done. Now I have set before you a wide-open door that none can shut. For I know that you possess only a little power, yet you’ve kept my word and haven’t denied my name.” Revelation 3:7-8 TPT.

In the spirit realm, there are doors to places including cities and nations. These doors are manned by spirits that control such geographical area. These spirits in turn are represented by humans. This means that such spirit entities works or manifests through certain individuals in every locality. We encounter such people daily in places of business, families, coporations, establishments, politics etc. without taking note of them, except by the help of the Spirit of God. “From there they crossed the island as far as Paphos, where they encountered a Jewish false prophet, a sorcerer named Elymas, who also went by the name of “son of Jesus.” He had gained influence as the spiritual advisor to the regional governor, Sergius Paulus, considered by many to be a wise and intelligent leader. The governor requested a meeting with Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the message of God’s word. But Elymas, whose name means “sorcerer,” stood up against them and tried to prevent the governor from believing their message.” Acts 13:6-8.

God had given Apostle Paul and Barnabas an open door in Paphos that led them even to the office or palace of the regional governor, but the enemy stood to oppose the move of God in that palace and city through the person of Elymas. It was by the help of the Spirit of God that Apostle Paul had victory over him for their work to flourish. “Saul, also known as Paul, stared into his eyes and rebuked him. Filled with the Holy Spirit, he said, “You son of the devil! You are full of every form of fraud and deceit and an enemy of all that is right. When will you stop perverting the truth of God into lies? At this very moment the hand of God’s judgment comes down upon you and you will be blind—so blind you won’t even be able to see the light of the sun.” As Paul spoke these words, a shadowy mist and darkness came over the sorcerer, leaving him blind and groping about, begging someone to lead him around by the hand. When the governor witnessed this, he believed and was awestruck by the power of the message of the Lord.”

Acts 13:9-12 TPT.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for every door you have opened unto me. By your Spirit I subdue every power from hell that wants to stand against the move of God in my life. I enter and possess my possessions in Jesus precious name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 4:23-37.
