MFM 2024: OUR YEAR OF OPEN DOORS & DIVINE SPEED

MFM Topic, Wed  April 17: defeating the enemies of your open door

Beloved! Remember Bridges and walls are made with the same materials. But though Bridge joins the people, But Wall divides the people. Are you a Bridge that link people together or you are a Wall that separates people.

Welcome to MFM Devotional, 17 April 24

PRAISE & WORSHIP:
Open my eyes that I may see
Glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key
That shall unclasp and set me free. Silently now I wait for Thee,
Ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me,
    Spirit Divine!

2
Open my ears that I may hear
Voices of truth Thou sendest clear;
And while the wave notes fall on my ear,
Everything false will disappear.

3
Open my mouth and let me bear
Tidings of mercy everywhere;
Open my heart and let me prepare
Love with Thy children thus to share.

4
Open my mind that I may read
More of Thy love in word and deed;
What shall I fear while yet Thou dost lead?
Only for light from Thee I plead.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
2 Kings 9, 2 Kings 10, 2 Kings 11; Matthew 5, Matthew 6

MEMORY VERSE:
1 Corinthians 16:9 -“For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: Stand firm in the Lord and you shall prevail.

17 APRIL PROPHETIC WORD:
By the power in the blood of Jesus, you shall overcome the enemy of your open door, in the name of Jesus.

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Revelation 3: 7-8

And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

17 APRIL MESSAGE:
In our memory verse today, we see Paul telling the people of a wonderful opportunity presented to him to advance his ministry. Alas, there were many adversaries (enemies or opposition). Paul often described opportunities of taking the gospel to places as open doors Corinthians 2:12; Colossians 4:3; Acts 14:27).

But we can see also that these open doors always attracted stiff opposition from the enemies of the gospel. Our open doors may vary according to our needs and life pursuits. We seek breakthroughs in one way or another.  It could be in ministry work, business, academics, marriage, finances etc. 

The enemies of your progress and advancement, like those of Paul, will not fold their hands watch you enter into your doors of breakthroughs easily without any resistance. Because they hate your advancement and goodness, they will fight tooth and nail to ensure that you gain access. But what are you expected to do as a child of God when the enemy comes fiercely against your open doors?

Firstly, you need to understand that for the enemy to God stop you from entering into your open door, there must something outstanding that the Lord wants to do.

The opposition is evidence that you will be mightily blessed to the glory of God and to the expansion of His heavenly kingdom. Souls will not only be won to the Lord but destinies shall be lifted in many ways as well. That is why the contention against the open door of genuine child of God is usually huge.

Like Paul, you must not back down but rather double up on your goal when things get heated. You must not give up but show the enemy that greater is He in you than he that is in them (1 John 4: 4), and fight them to finish.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. O Lord, let every enemy of my open doors be destroyed, in the name of Jesus.

2. My heavens, open by fire, in the name of Jesus.

3. Favour of the Almighty God, overshadow my life, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING

4.  Breakthrough bankers of my father’s house, die, in the name of Jesus.

5. Opportunity wasters of my father’s house, die, in the name of Jesus.

6. Opportunity wasters of my mother’s house, die, in the name of Jesus.

7, Powers expanding my problems, die, in the name of Jesus.
