John 10:9 ’I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
DAILY READING; John 8:48-59; 2 Chronicles 5:2-14; Malachi 2:10-4:7
Charles Page was only 11-year-old when his father died. He had to drop out of school early to try to help support his mother and siblings. For years, he struggled fruitlessly, wandering from one menial job to another
One day he stopped on the street to listen to a Salvation Army service. When a girl brought the offering plate to him, he told her that he would have loved to give but had no money, not even for his food. She gave him a dollar, saying, “Take this: put ten cents in the offering, and hereafter give a tenth of all you get to God. Keep this up all your life, and you’ll never be penniless again.”
Charlie took her advice. When he later got a job, he began paying his tenth regularly. Gradually things began to improve. Overtime, he got into real estate development, oil well drilling, and investing in power plants. Through God’s blessings upon his endeavors, Charles eventually became wealthy.
He became famous as a generous philanthropist, who contributed to the spread of the Gospel and supported various charities including the Salvation Army. He also built hospitals, schools, homes for widows, orphans and poor black Americans.
The decision to obey God’s instruction concerning tithing opened up the heavens and ended Charles Page’s fruitless wandering from job to job.
Aligning with God’s Word is what opens the door to new horizons and greater frontiers.
The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years, shut out of the Promised Land due to disobedience. But after the disobedient generation had died off, they gained access to the land flowing with milk and honey.
Today, many people have been wandering fruitlessly due to failure to come into alignment with God’s will.
Obedience is what connects us to God’s divine grace which makes our journey great.
Today, we have stepped into the fifth month of May and the number 5 symbolizes God’s grace, goodness and favor.
By definition the word “May” means possibility; opportunity or permission; or to express wish or prayer. By implication therefore, this month of May will be a month of possibility and opportunity for us.
In John 10:9 Jesus says ’I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
As we step into a deeper relationship with Jesus, He will lead us to our green pastures
Certainly, in this month God is doing a new thing. He’s about to take you to where you’ve never been before. He will enable you to access doors of breakthrough that have not been accessible before. In this season, God is giving us leverage in the spirit realm to be bold, to step out and to do great and mighty things in His Name.
By the power in the Blood of Jesus, hitherto closed doors will be unlocked and we will come out of every stagnation to step into greater levels of grace, anointing, promotion, healing and progress.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for opening doors of greater opportunities to me in this season. I know that in this new month Your grace for great accomplishment has been released to enable me to excel always in Jesus’ Name.
