Title: KEYS TO OPEN DOORS
Matthew
6:25-33, NLT,
“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday
life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t
life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in
barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to
him than they are? 27 Can all your
worries add a single moment to your life? 28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the
field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as
they are. 30 And if God cares so
wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire
tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat?
What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your
heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously,
and he will give you everything you need.”
To open the door of
your house, you need to use a key. To get in your car, you need to use a key.
To unlock doors this Year of Open Doors and have them opened, we need to have
keys as well. They keys are very basic yet very essential as we about to engage
ourselves in this year of open doors. There are four keys that we will dig deep
into. But we’ll just be talking about two of these for now so we may savor
every bit of them.
The first key is
something that we can’t ignore and we can’t live without. And this key has been
emphasized in the Bible for so many times. The
first key is faith. How do
you know if your faith is firm? One manifestation of unwavering faith is joy
and confidence in the promises of God even if we can’t see them as of the
moment. On the other hand worry is the enemy of faith. A person with little
faith worries a lot. But Jesus said not to worry, for our heavenly Father takes
care of even the plants and animals that He created. Just imagine what God has
in store for you, his children. Worrying makes you stagnant while faith makes
you a creative problem solver.
They second key is
so basic that sometime most of take this for granted. We tend to overlook its
power and impact in our relationship with God. And sometimes it becomes our
last resort where in fact it should be our first response. This second key is prayer.
When we sometimes work very hard for something to the point of exhaustion, we
get frustrated simply because this something is not materializing. And we
wonder why. With all the effort and energy, why do we fail? It’s because this
door that you are trying so hard to open is not from the Lord. You didn’t pray
about it that’s why you just worked for it and it turns out that it’s not they
right one for you. When you work, you work. When you pray, God works. There is
power in prayer because in God’s system when you submit to Him and acknowledge
that he is the source that’s the time when God is working best! Do not worry
about anything. Pray about everything.
Faith and prayer are two of the
four invaluable keys that we must take seriously to open God’s vast doors for
you
