THE KEY THAT OPENS DOORS AND THE PASSWORD TO KEYS

You need a door to get into a place and come out of a place. Doors help us to get in and out of a room, car, bus, train, or airplane. This means that where there is no door, a person could be confined or locked up in a particular place. Being confined or tied down to a particular place speaks of stagnation.

We all desire growth and progress in every area of our lives. Without open doors, a person can be confined to a particular level or spot. Open doors enhance movement. We need open doors to move from one place to another, from one level to another. Open doors give us access to some blessings, places, people, and opportunities.

We have talked about doors which lets us in and out, keys but here is the door which holds all the keys to open all the doors, “Jesus Christ, {John 14:6} "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." He is the door and the key to the father, “Almighty Lord" it gives me peace to call him our master key and ounce welcomed he opens for you himself.

Let us see it biblically, “Mathew 7: 7-8, Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened,” me I like sure deal stuff, so let me stick to him I will keep on knocking and I know he will open for me.

Revelation 3:7 describes Jesus as the One that opens a door which no one can shut and the One that shuts a door which no one can open. For the Bible to describe Jesus in this way, it means in this life, everyone needs Christ to open certain doors and to close certain doors. Through this message, the Lord shall close every door in your life that needs to be closed and He shall open all doors you need to progress and be fulfilled in life.

Did you know that all the keys were placed in his hands, let us read {Isaiah 22:22} I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. This was a message to you through prophet Isaiah to you who is still doubting about Jesus’s authority, you should know this, for no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him, the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God {2 Corinthians 1:20}

If you seek him diligently and look for his path he is in love he will give you these keys, look at what he did to peter. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”{Matthew 16:19}, God says that He has given us the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Note that he didn’t say key (singular) but keys (plural), meaning that more than one key is needed to experience open doors. One key may open one door say the door of promotion, but that key may not be able to open the door of healing for you. You may need to use another key. But all the keys you need have been given to you.

What are the keys we need to open doors of?

 Favor,

Victory, 

Deliverance, 

Breakthrough, 

Success

Promotion

Increase, good health, and peace?

Whoever we need to know what ushers us to this key

Repentance– Cry out to God and ask Him this person to forgive and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.  The blood of Jesus has given you and access to the very heart of God! Let us see this in {Jeremiah 15:19-20} Therefore this is what the Lord says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.  I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to rescue and save you,”

Open the gate of heaven by being aware of his presence, {Genesis 28:11-17}, when he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.  He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 

Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and the east, to the north and the south. All people on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” 

He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” How many doors were opened for Jacob because of resting and dwelling in God’s presence? I see the assurance for open doors for victory, prosperity, increase, and authority.

Do you have the power in praise? Praise opened the prison doors for Paul and Silas in {Acts 16:22-27}. Paul and Silas found themselves in prison. They found themselves in a place they needed to get out of. They needed an open door to get out of the prison. What did they do? They started praising God. What happened? The prison doors opened. These men closed their hearts in praise to God. They were not distracted by the things and people around them. All their attention was focused on God. Their praise may not have come from the best of voices, but it was genuine and it was very powerful.

As you praise God with everything in you, open doors shall be your portion. Every spiritual, financial, career, and marital prison door will open before you as you give God sincere and quality praise. You have this powerful key in your hand, use it every day, and use it very well. God delights in the praises of His people. Delight Him with your praise and He will arise to open doors for you.

Prayer, So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him {In Acts 12:1-7}, we have an account of another instance where prison doors were opened. Peter found himself in a place he didn’t want to be. He found himself in prison. He needed an open door to get out of the prison. Peter received this open door because people were praying earnestly for him.

In Luke 11:5-10, the door was locked and a friend needed something. He didn’t go back home because he saw the door of his friend’s house shut. He kept knocking, he kept asking. Finally, the friend got up, opened the door, and gave him what he wanted.

Matthew 7:7 says, “Ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you”. When we come across closed doors, we are to KNOCK! We are to knock with our prayers and the door will be opened for us. Don’t give up because you are faced with a closed door. Don’t allow closed doors to frighten you. Those seemingly closed doors can be opened as you knock with persistent prayers. This is why you must be a person of prayer. The Lord will give you the grace to be prayerful. As you pray, all the doors that have been closed before you will be opened in Jesus' name, amen.

Furthermore, {Acts 16:25-27} about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 

Develop a prayer life! {1 John 5:14-15}, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 1And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.” When you pray you to learn the heart of God! God is waiting on you to tell him what you need. {Phil. 4; 6}, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Open the flood gates of god’s provision by believing his word, {2 Kings 7:1-2}, Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lord says: About this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.”  The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen? “You will see it with your own eyes,” answered Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it!” 

Open the door of god’s power by being filled with his spirit {Acts 1:8} but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and  Walk-in you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 

Study His Word– God’s word is his map for your life! {Psalm 119:105}, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”{Hebrews 4:12}, “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

Grow in Faith– Realize that nothing is impossible with God! Jesus promised in { Mark 11:23-24}, “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

Walk in Boldness- Your boldness determines the path God leads you on! {Luke 10:19-20}, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

Be a giver! Giving opens doors that you could have never imagined would open for you! {Proverbs 18:16}, “Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people!” When you invest in the kingdom of God everything else will be given to you.  {Mathew. 6:33}, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

Child of God see you there, “if you grasp this earnestly the sky is the limit,” be blessed
