Open Doors

 This month of November,2021 has been quite an engaging month for me. In the midst of it, I kept pushing forward that which I believe I should share. I'll still put it up though it's the last day of the month. 

I usually like to share around the theme of my church, and it's "OPEN DOORS" ...WOW, GLORY💃💃.

So the central revelation of God's word as regards this theme to me is from the writings of Apostle Paul.


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


It's beautiful that there are great doors, not just doors, opened unto him, which is the case for anyone in Christ. I like that Apostle Paul didn't use the word 'but', he used 'and'. This points out that the adversaries are suppose to be seen as nothing compared to the doors ahead. This is to tell us that he didn't consider them really as an obstacle or obstructions(in a negative sense) to these doors. 

We got a synopsis of how he overcame the adversaries in 1Tim.4:7.

2Tim.4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:


He fought the good fight, and ended up finishing his race.

An important question here is, what was this fight? What did this good fight represent 😊? You know, fights are usually seen as bad, but this one was a good fight. That mean, there are fights that individuals must fight; good fights, in order to get through the great doors set ahead and finish the race.

This fight could be the diligence of studying through relevant materials, consistent prayers, even healthy eating or lifestyle. Whatever it is, that is required to get the result you desire is the good fight.

Sometimes, you know the good fight, other times, you're not even aware. This is where the ministry of the Holy Spirit to us comes in, leading us into ALL TRUTHS.


My prayer is that the fellowship of the Holy Spirit will always be with you, leading you into all truths, guiding you through great doors in Jesus name, Amen🌺🌺


Cheers.

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. ...

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...
