Senior Pastor’s Message for AUGUST 2023.
Be thankful and Sing praises to God
Psalm 118:19 (NIV) “Open for me the gates of the righteous; I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.” Be thankful and Sing praises to God.
Revelation 3:8 – God has set before his faithful people an open door that no one can shut, because they have kept his Word and have not denied his name.
Life is full of opportunities, transitions, and new beginnings. Sometimes, we find ourselves standing at a closed door, uncertain of what lies ahead.
However, the Bible informs about open doors which reminds us that God is the one who can open doors for us, leading us to new paths, blessings, and possibilities.
He has the power to remove obstacles, provided we are thankful and praise God with all our hearts at all times.
Are you here today with a heart of thanks giving?
Psalm 100:4 says, “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name”. The above bible passage is an invitation to enter joyfully into God’s presence.
His faithfulness extends to all generations.
Throughout the Bible, there are numerous verses that speak about open doors, reminding us of God’s sovereignty, His ability to make a way where there seems to be no way and His invitation for us to step into His divine plans.
Isaiah 22:22 says, “I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut and what he shuts no one can open”. God gives the key of the house of David to his chosen servant, who has the authority to open and shut doors that no one else can tamper with it.
The bible offers encouragement and assurance that when God opens a door; it leads to something remarkable and transformative. He has the power to remove obstacles, provide opportunities, and guide us into the plans He has for our lives.
The bible serves as a reminder of God’s faithfulness, His ability to open doors that no one can shut. Therefore, be informed that God alone is worthy of being worshipped.
I implore you to willingly and joyfully come into God’s presence with praise and thanksgiving in your heart and you will encounter an open door that no man can shut.
I pray that almighty God will open doors to all of us. Our destiny will be colourful and shall find expression in Jesus Christ mighty name. We will encounter pleasant surprises in this month and beyond, in Jesus Christ mighty name. Shalom.
