Pst. E.A. Adeboye 23 November
HE IS KNOCKING
Memorise:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with
me. Revelation 3:20
Read: Romans 13:1-2
The
Lord is standing and knocking at your heart today. He may be knocking
on the door asking you to repent but will not force Himself in. He may
be knocking on the door asking you to obey a particular directive He
gave you but He will not compel you to obey. He may also be knocking on
the door asking you to make restitution in certain areas of your life.
Have you opened the door to the Lord? It is either you open to Him or
keep Him out, pretending not to hear. Just remember that one day, you
too will knock on the gates of Heaven and it will be His turn to open to
you or not. On that day, who you know on earth, your academic
qualification, your wealth, status and achievements on earth will not be
able to help you. Jesus Christ holds the key to the pearly gates of
Heaven so if ] you want Him to open to you then, open you heart to Him
now.
Moreover,
the Lord gave a wonderful promise to overcomers in Revelation 3:21. He
says if you overcome, you will sit with Him in His throne just as He
overcame and is presently sitting with His Father on His throne. The
Father and the Holy Spirit have their thrones. Surrounding them are four
living creatures and 24 elders. In Heaven, some people may sit about a
million miles to God's throne while some will sit near the throne but
the overcomers will sit in the throne itself. You cannot be an overcomer
without fighting and winning. Matthew 11:12 says God's Kingdom allows
spiritual violence. To be an overcomer, be born again, sanctified and
baptised in the Holy Spirit, obey God's Word and every instruction the
Lord gives to you. Exact the victory that Christ has given you over
your fleshly desires, Satan, worldly attractions and temptations. To
be an overcomer, you cannot afford to be lukewarm. Let the Lord revive
you and be on fire for Him. Is your heart open to the King of kings
today?
PRAYER POINT
Father, in any way I have shut my heart to You I repent in dust and ashes, and open up my heart to You today.
