Open The Door

Revelation 3:20

God does not impose Himself on us.
God is not like the devil, He  doesn't force Himself on people.
Matthew 10:14

The devil doesn't take permission before forcing his way upon individuals, families and nations.
Demons possess people without asking.

God does things the right and legal way.
John 10:2,3
The devil does things the illegal way.
John 10:1
God comes into peoples lives and situations through the door of our hearts.

Satan doesn't knock on the door, he doesn't need your consent; he scales the fence.
Among the many virtues and attributes of God, God can be likened to a gentleman.
John 10:3
Satan is a crook and ruffian.
Satan and his demons don't lead people they possess people.

Everything in life - spiritual and physical has an entrance point.
The entrance point to a country is it's airports.
The entrance point to a home is it's front door.
The entrance point to a city is the city gate or toll gate.
You also have an entrance point into your life which is the 'door' of your heart.
This is why we have to guard our heart, the door of our heart should not be opened to everything and everyone.
Jesus comes into a life through the door of our heart.
He comes to enrich, bless, favour, distinguish and save lives.
He does this with your cooperation.
You have to be willing to open the door of your heart for Jesus to come in.
He knocks on the door of our hearts, He doesn't force Himself in.
He knocks knowing and hoping you will open the door.
He knocks believing you can hear His knock on the door of your heart.

How does He knock on the door of our heart?
1) By His Word - Acts 2:38, Luke 11:28
2) By His Spirit - Hosea 2:14
3) Through His messengers - Malachi 3:1
4) Through dreams & visions - Genesis 15:1, Genesis 46:2
5) Supernatural encounters - Acts 9:1-9
6) Angelic visitations - Acts 10:3,4
7) Divine love and compassion - Hosea 11:4

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...
