Open Doors

Doors are opened every day, whether you're going out or coming in. But open doors can symbolize opportunities. People receive opportunities in various ways and from different sources. One of those sources is God. When God opens a door, it's for a reason and purpose. However, there are a few things you need to understand.

According to Revelation 3:7-8 NKJV, it says, "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens: I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. "

In the scripture above, it's mentioned that when God opens something, no one can shut it, and when He shuts something, no one can open it. Hmm, physical doors are meant to be opened and closed, but the doors that God opens are not physical and cannot be shut. This means that the opportunities God opens for you cannot be closed by anyone. However, you should expect the following:

According to 1 Corinthians 16:9 NKJV, it says, "For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

The scripture above states that a great and effective door has been opened, but there are adversaries. It shows that any door God opens is great, effective, and worthwhile. But there will be adversaries, opposition, and distractions. Just because God is the one opening doors and giving you opportunities doesn't mean that opposition and adversaries won't come. They will surely come.

However, those adversaries or opposition cannot shut the doors that God opens. So, don't be afraid when faced with challenges or opposition, even if it's God who sent you. They will try to distract and discourage you, but the door cannot be shut by any person. When God opens a door, no one can shut it. But you have to stay on the path He called you to walk on.
