GREAT AND EFFECTUAL DOOR - Open Heaven Series 021
I Corinthians 16:9, KJV
"For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries."
If you read the verse above and compare it with the word of Isaac after digging the third uncontested well, you'll see that there's a similarity yet with a difference also to consider. Paul said, "a great door for effective work is opened unto me." Isaac says, "for now the Lord has made room for us and we shall be fruitful in the land" (Gen.26:22). "A great door for effective work" and "a surrendered room for fruitfulness in the land." There was an evangelist who got such a door but not a great door known for productive or tangible work. A great door is one that's wide open. It is known for the many opportunities it avails any minister. Such door puts no restriction to what any minister could do. He could evangelize in the day. He could preach against homosexuality without fear of the government. He could convert others from other religions and such won't be regarded as soliciting or anything punishable by the law. Such is the door that becomes the joy of any minister. I call it the great opened, wide door of manifestation. Until this door is opened, one may have plans but he can't accomplish them. One might have done a listing of what he'll like to do on a note and bear same wherever he goes on his mind and with thoughtful prayers always but all these would be vain if this great door isn't opened. Some ministers have received the door but unfortunately it was a slightly opened door. When they got to the land of their ministry, they faced the greatest opposition ever. The authorities of the land fought them; the king of the land fought them; the priest of the land fought them and even the government was solicited to come and see to these ones "who have turned the world upside down." There may be opened unto you a door of ministry but let your prayer be, "make it a wide open door, God." There's no joy in having a door that restricts you. It's not different from being cramped on a chair instead of sleeping on a roomy bed. Such man won't enjoy his rest. It would rather be full of disturbances leading to body pain and aches later. This is why we all need God to have mercy on us and push open for us the wide gate of open door for ministry.
Like I was saying, an evangelist got an invite to organize a crusade somewhere. While the crusade was launching and as he mounted, a woman came out of the congregation, by passed the ushers unstopped and excreted seriously in front of the raised platform so much more that all the souls who had gathered left one by one. A door has been opened to this minister but it's a restricted door. He's still in the midst of warfare. While the ministry door afforded him points to the manifestation of an open heaven yet it is a restricted door. He's still being debated so as not to do the will of God and all they had planned for that crusade. As the devil would have it, that crusade that day didn't hold again because everybody started leaving at the sight of that daring horrible act. It was afterwards the woman was gotten hold of and ministered to. There is a door of ministry but it is either widely opened or strictly opened. Let your prayer be, "give me a door that'll afford me all your will and my heart desires."
PRAYER: Open to me a door without opposition.
