THE DOOR TO THE KINGDOM

John 10:9, Psalm 51:17

Every country, city, village, town, or building has an entrance point, a gate, a door.
The airports of a city or nation are the 'doors' or entrance points to that city.
Your passport and visa can be likened to the key that opens the door for you to enter that nation or city.

It is the same thing with spiritual things.
The Kingdom of God has an entrance point.
The Kingdom of God also has a key to open the door for you to enter it.
Every door has a key, a code, a forb, or a proximity card to open it.

Jesus is the door to God's Kingdom.
You can't get into God's Kingdom outside of Jesus.
Colossians 1:13
The door to God's Kingdom also has a key or access code to it.
The access code or key to God's Kingdom is repentance. Matthew 3:2
This is why John the Baptist came with a message of repentance.

Jesus is the door, repentance is the key to the door. Matthew 4:17
There is no other door to God's Kingdom outside of Jesus Christ.
Anyone or anything introducing you to God or some form of spirituality outside of Jesus is fake.
John 10:1
Jesus makes your access to God and His Kingdom legal.

Many people want to access God's blessings, God's power, God's grace, God's love and favor without repentance.
All the good things in God is in the Kingdom of God, but we need to enter the Kingdom through the door and with the right key.
Jesus unlocks the door to God's Kingdom when we come with the right key because it is God's will for us to access the Kingdom.
Luke 12:32

We must all access God's Kingdom now.
Faith is now. Now is faith. Hebrews 11:1
The joy we seek, the peace we seek, the dignity we seek, the progress we want, our spiritual inheritance is all in the Kingdom of God. Psalm 23:2

When we come to a door with the wrong key, no matter how hard we try to open the door, the door won't open.
Many people are not making the progress they should be making in God because their heart is not right with God.
God is about the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
Repentance is of the heart.
The Kingdomof God is within us and the key to that Kingdom must come from within. Luke 17:21
Our heart is within us, and God knows true repentance from false repentance.

God knows if you have the right key or not.
If you don't have the right key- true repentance, God is not deceived.
The fake will always look like the original.
False repentance may look like true repentance but false repentance is not of the heart.
True repentance is genuine and comes from the heart.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
