Wed.’s Devo - The Keys and the Open Door

Read Rev. 3:7-8 We see God give this age the key of David hat can open doors and shut them. The key of David is the key to David’s house: the house of David. This is all those who love God, like David did, and are part of his spiritual offspring. Isaiah 9:6 says that this key is on Jesus’ shoulder. We get a picture of this in the eastern wedding ceremony. The bride wears a veil that she takes off in the ceremony, and places it on her groom’s shoulders signifying that she is placing herself under his covering. She is saying that no other person but him is responsible for her or has any rights to her but him. I sometimes forget that God chose me, for some reason. He called me, saved me, and washed me, that I might be his bride. I now belong to Him and Him alone. So do you. It is Jesus that is the head of his church. He is the one who gives out his gifts. And he choses his members. He has the key to the church door. To his members he gives the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Matt. 16:19) to bind up the evil spirits and loose the good spirits. That has been given to us. Jesus alone, has the keys to death and hell. To this age he sets up an open door. Brother Andrew has a ministry called “Open Door” which reaches out to the unreached countries with the gospel. This is exactly what happened during this age and is still happening. God is opening doors to countries never before reached for the gospel. This is also an open door to heaven. Never before do you hear of people accessing heaven - going there and coming back. The door to heaven is open. Lord, help us to walk through your open doors in our lives here or in the heaven lies.
