OPEN DOORS

Revelation 3:7-8 (GNB)

“To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: “This is the message from the one who is holy and true. He has the key that belonged to David, and when he opens a door, no one can close it, and when he closes it, no one can open it. I know what you do; I know that you have a little power; you have followed my teaching and have been faithful to me. I have opened a door in front of you, which no one can close.

One of the things the word ‘door’ symbolizes in scripture is access. When God opens a door for you, you have access to various things, including resources, wealth, connections/relationships, operations of angels, revelation, etc, (Isa. 45:2-3, Gen. 28:10-19, Rev. 4:1).

God doesn’t only open doors for us to receive things, He also opens doors (opportunities) for us to do certain things. Paul talks about a door of ministry that was opened to him in Ephesus (1Cor.16:9) and in Troas (2Cor. 2:12). He asked the believers at Colossae to pray for God to open a door of utterance so they could speak the mysteries of Christ the way they were supposed to.

The most important thing the word door symbolizes in the Bible is Jesus Himself. In John 10:9a, Jesus said, “I am the door…” Jesus embodies the fullness of what the word door stands for. He gives us both access to things and opportunities to do things. He gives us access to God the Father (John 14:6) and access to the fullness of His wisdom, power, glory and blessings, (Col.2:9-10). Having endowed us with His fullness, He allows us to be His ambassadors and witnesses. God wants to open (reveal) Christ to you more and more, so you can walk in more of His fullness and preach/manifest Him more.

Prayer:
Father, thank you for the doors of resources, opportunities, and revelation of Christ you have opened for me right now.
