OPEN DOOR
AMB. AWAH FAVOUR MATTHEW
ll COR 2:12, l COR 16:8-9, JOHN 3:27, ISA 64:1-4
Every sphere of influence in life is regulated by gates and there are about 7 gates of social influence. These gates are sometimes called mountains they include
Gate of Politics/ Government
Gate of Education/Academics
Gate of Media/Entertainment
Gate of Finance
Gate of Religion
Gate of Judicial and moral law
Gate of Agriculture
GOD’s desire is that His kingdom is established within these gates. When Jesus commanded us to go into the world (matt 28:19) I believe He is sending us to the nations for establishment of His Kingdom in each of these mountains. God’s Kingdom in this context becomes any gate or sphere where He reigns and His will prevails (Matt 6:10).

O! Lord give us the mountain.
Lift up your head o ye gates and ye everlasting doors and let the King of glory come in.
Open doors are opportunities and avenues orchestrated by God for His people to gain entrance into these gates. Open doors are opportunities created by God for His people to do great work.
For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. l COR 16:9
He who has the Key to these gates regulates what is inside. It is therefore important that we don’t only ask for open doors but also for the keys to these doors.
WHY ASK FOR OPEN DOORS? WHY REQUEST FOR THE MOUNTAINS?
The earth is the Lords, the world and the people that dwell therein. The Lord dwells in the heavens and the earth has He given to the sons of men for a possession. God expects us to dominate the earth because, it is our inheritance. If we leave the earth for the wicked, if we do not possess what our father has given unto us who is to blame? Who suffers the repercussions? Your guesses are as good as mine. It is therefore important that we ask for opportunities, breakthroughs and open doors into these gates.
