Doors Do Open


Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on?
I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through.


Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there!
You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke.
Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with.
I imagine she had exhausted all of her options before going to the Elisha. She would not want to embarrass her husband and herself so she must have done some underground asking from people close enough to borrow her until she can pay so that she could pay off her husbands’ debtors. Alas all of them doors were shut against her.
I can’t imagine what was in her head when she told the prophet about the pathetic condition on ground.
She had most definitely known that the prophet had no money to give her. But in the middle of her despair, he brings up an idea by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
The God we serve is one that makes things happen even in the bleakest of times and situations. Now she could pay up for her debt from just a small pot of oil that she had.

Elisha said to her- 2Kings4:3..Go, borrow not a few. 4. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her and she poured out….

Some huge opening right there.
The oil that she poured wasn’t just enough for her to pay off her debt but for her to live in peace with her two sons. How amazing? Even when she thought all doors had been shut against her, God had a beautiful door awaiting her. How awesome God is. Our God is one who opens beautiful doors. This kind of door is ‘the Big door shaming them other doors’
Times will come when you feel like you have exhausted the best of your options or all them doors are shut against you, but God always has a big door awaiting you.
You just may not be able to grasp it all now or even see the ways that God seems to be making. But things will sure fall in place as you trust God through whatsoever it is you are going through at the moment.

Do have a lovely week ahead.

Grace.

    1. God would speak to us through people sometimes. He also placed his spirit in us to guide us as well. He would that we recognise his when he's speaking to us and everytime we obey that voice or walk in his steps, we'll find solution to the problems of life.

Faithfulness

Today I want to share something about faithfulness. Faithfulness,according to google,  is the concept of unfailingly remaining  loyal  to someone or something, and putting that loyalty into consistent practice regardless of extenuating circumstances. Literally, it is the state of being full of  faith  in the sense of steady devotion to a person, thing or concept. In my understanding, it is being consistently committed to a course or person regardless of what comes your way. I want to focus on the things that we have been called to do or the things that we find per time to do. Sometimes we can get so lackadaisical about stuff when no one is watching or when others are playing their part. Sometimes its really because we don’t have enough drive to do what we really want to do. Sometimes, factors beyond our control can be the cause. Sometimes its because we have not exactly decided to take up responsibility by ourselves. Sometimes we don’t have knowledge ...

My Beloved

If you would let me walk through the corners of your heart   I will take the thorns away with anesthesia enough to take you through I will shine my light in the path for your eyes to see and your feet to walk I will wrap you round in the warmth of my embrace From the cold that gives you frost bite in the feet and a chest pain even on a warm day I know you let some love in the left you broken And now it’s difficult to catch the pieces that remain because your strength is gone I see it all in your eyes, Even though you try to make it seem like you have it all together You have been bought with a prize I took all the brakes in my heart to see you whole I got striped and left in the cold so you could find warmth in me (would be hid in me and stay warm) I’m not about to let you go through all that trauma (again). I did it already, for you, for all So that when you pass through the rivers, you will have me around When you pass though waters, it ...

CHRIST INSIDER✔️✅✔️

Colossians 2:6-10  As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power : So today, I'm going to be talking about the motivation behind the Christian walk.  What has been your motivation? What has been the motivation behind your christian walk? What is the motivation behind you going to church or leaving that bad habit? What is the reason you should stop going to that place that's totally against the will of God or your growth.  What should be the motivation behind letting go of certain things that are not of God? People come up with philosophies an...
