“Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought”.
Isaiah 60:11 KJV

God is bringing you into a land where you will eat bread without scarceness. Before the need arises in your life, the supply would be available. You will not be stranded because your gates shall be open continually. You will recall that in the Bible times, gates represented the place of authority where far reaching decisions were taken. Gates also represented access into and out of a city. Therefore, for as long as the gates to a city were open, you could be sure that socio-economic activities would never cease. In like manner, understand that for as long as your gates are open, the forces of the Gentiles and their kings (substance, resources, wealth, tribute and allegiance) would have no choice than to gravitate towards you whether the devil likes it or not.

The challenge with some of us, however, is that even though our gates are open we cannot correlate our present challenges and experiences with what God has said. Many times we feel God does not know or care about how we feel. The result is that we cancel ourselves out from receiving from Him. But I come your way today with a word of assurance from God’s Word that He is still committed to bringing to pass every word He has spoken concerning your life. His Word to you today is that your gates shall be open continually. They shall no longer be shut.

Yes, while it may appear as if every door is shut against you right now, fear not because you would take delivery of your miracles. Just like the Psalmist said, ‘weeping may endure through the night but joy comes in the morning.’ Beloved, your morning of joy has come. The Word of God says the Gentiles and the sons of all those that afflicted you, shall come bowing down before you. You may not understand how it will happen but just believe it. Your gates have been thrown open, so get ready for you shall be sustained with the riches from afar. That means, you will no longer work like an elephant and eat like an ant. There shall be no more empty barrel for you and the days of barely making it are over in your life. Indeed, your story will change. Your gates shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day and night. I will hear your testimony.
