GOING THROUGH THE OPEN DOORS

//Read Acts 16:25-34 //

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. 27 The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul shouted, “Don’t harm yourself! We are all here!”

29 The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized. 34 The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy because he had come to believe in God—he and his whole household.

 
MEDITATION:
Atimes God Almighty in His greatness do open doors for his people but many people do not make the most use of the open door. Just like in this story, there are four things to combat in having an open door:
(i.) Prison (ii.) Prison Keeper (iii.) Chains and (iv.) Darkness.
The first thing to deal with if you are going to move through the open doors in life is ‘We are all here’ mentality V 28.
You may not be able to experience your personal deliverance if you join others in place of stagnation. You should know how to make a move from where you are.
 
PRAYER: Oh Lord, I command my total liberty in the Mighty name of Jesus Christ.
