God will open the doors for you

By


The Holy One, the True One, the One who has the key of David, who opens and no one will close, and closes and no one opens says: (HCSB) Revelation 3:7

Opening and closing the doors in different aspects of our lives is the sovereign action of our God. Today the Lord is impressing upon me to say that God will open the doors for you. “I will go before you and level the uneven places; I will shatter the bronze doors and cut the iron bars in two” (HCSB, Isaiah 45:2).
Though closed doors are very strong like bronze or iron, God who goes before you will break such closed doors for you. Paul testifies that “When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ…. a door was opened for me in the Lord” (ESV, 2 Corinthians 2:12). Malachi 3.10 says that God will open the doors of blessings when we give tithe to God. God opens the doors for finance, ministry, relationships, job etc. Keep knocking God in prayer, doors will be opened for you.

On the other hand, this verse gives an assurance that nobody can close the doors that God has given to us. Nothing can close the God given doors in your life, even if tough seasons come. Do not have fear of losing or closing God given opportunities, finance, job, ministry etc. God is in control.

  Photo credit:  Shaira Dela Peña  Commentary on 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Literary context, features, and issues 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (a) There is a debate among the scholars whether chapter 13 is prose or hymn. [1] (b) There are literary parallels for chapter 13 in Greek and Hellenistic Jewish literature. [2] (c) It is often suggested that chapter 13 interrupted the flow of Pauline discussion on the spiritual gifts [3] and this chapter used stylistic forms. [4] Consequently, scholars think that chapter 13 is out of place or it is a non-Pauline interpolation and literary critics even questioned the authorship of this chapter. [5] It is also suggested that Chapter 13 is a digression. [6] It has been recognized as an epideictic showpiece that is used to exhort Corinthians to keep love as their guiding principles of life in the community. [7] Commentary of 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 The need to have love (1 Corinthians 13:1-3) Agape is used 18 times in LXX a...

Jewish Sects and Movements during the Intertestamental Period (New Testament Background, part-3)

Picture credit: Konrad Hofmann Jewish Sects and Movements during the Intertestamental Period (New Testament Background, part-3) (a) Temple, Law, and Priests (Sadducees) The Pentateuch was completed long before Hellenism. The re-established Jerusalem temple was the center of the religion. Though the highest political authority was the Persians, the Jerusalem temple state held the highest authority, with no other authority surpassing that of the temple and priests. The guardians of the temple and its cult, as well as the interpreters of the law, were the priests. The priests were the wealthiest aristocrats in the land. It is concluded that the wealthiest priestly families were open to Hellenistic elements. One of the reasons for the Maccabean revolt was the Hellenization of the priests, particularly the family of the Oniads. After the revolt, the Hasmoneans were supported by priests with different theological orientations who stood against Hellenization. The priests during the time of t...

The Literature of Judaism in the Hellenistic Period (New Testament Background, part-4)

By
Photo credit: The  Jewish Museum, New York   The Literature of Judaism in the Hellenistic Period (New Testament Background, part-4) (a) The Language of Judaism in the Hellenistic Period Hebrew continued as the religious language after the exile. Many books written in this period in Hebrew came to light through the discoveries of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Aramaic was the colloquial and business language in Syria and Mesopotamia and was spoken in Palestine. It was developed as an administrative language in the Assyrian Empire. But after the conquest of the Persian Empire by Alexander, Aramaic continued as a second administrative language after Greek and was used as a business and colloquial language even during the Roman Empire. Aramaic was used for Jewish writings. Moreover, during the Hellenistic period, Greek became a more influential language, but Aramaic survived. Greek became prominent because of Greek colonization and the significance of Greek as a cultural language. In Pales...
