THEME FOR THE MONTH: EPHphatha — “BE OPENED!”
Tuesday, September 8, 2026
Topic: EVERYTHING HAS DOORS
Anchor Text: Mark 11:23–24
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
When God speaks, He speaks with authority, power and purpose. His Word is never empty. What He says has the power to produce what He declares (Isaiah 55:10–11; Numbers 23:19).
From creation, God demonstrated this principle: He spoke, and things came into existence (Genesis 1:1–3). Jesus also spoke to storms, sickness, death and deafness; and they responded to His Word (Mark 4:35–41; John 11:41–44; Mark 7:34).
Why? Because everything God created whether living or non living have Doors and ears. That is why God speaks to things and situations before doing and they hear and obey His voice.
Scripture gives us glimpses of doors in places we would not normally think of:
• Heaven has doors: and God can open the heavens for provision (Psalm 78:23).
• The womb has a door: and God can open what has been closed (Genesis 30:22).
• Mountains have doors: Ezekiel saw a door after digging into the wall (Ezekiel 8:8).
• The sea has doors: God opened the Red Sea when Moses spoke and stretched forth his rod (Exodus 14:15–22).
• Prison has doors and gates: Paul and Silas prayed and worshipped, and suddenly the prison doors opened (Acts 16:25–26).
• The realm of provision has doors: God opened heaven and supplied Israel with manna (Psalm 78:23–24).
The lesson is powerful: if God can speak to it, it must respond to Him.
That is why Jesus said, “Speak to the mountain.” He did not tell you to be intimidated by the mountain; He told you to address it with faith.
Moses spoke to the rock, and water came forth. He spoke according to God's command, and what appeared closed became a source of life (Numbers 20:8).
Israel stood before the Red Sea with no visible way forward, but when God gave the command, a way opened where there was no way.
There may be doors around your life that you cannot see, but God knows where they are. Speak His Word. Speak with faith. Speak according to His will.
Beloved, don’t keep quiet, speak to that situation in your life; speak to that closed door that has been stagnating your life and destiny. I can assure you, they will hear voice today and the doors will open up in the name of Jesus.
What God has ordained to open cannot remain closed when His Word goes forth.
Reflection
What “door” are you facing today; an impossible situation, a limitation, a need or an opportunity? Stop speaking only about the mountain and begin speaking to it in faith.
Action Points
• Speak God's Word over your circumstances.
• Refuse to magnify the obstacle above God's power.
• Exercise faith through prayer and declaration.
• Expect God to make a way where there seems to be none.
Prayer Points
1. Father, open every door that Your purpose has ordained for my life.
2. Every mountain standing before my destiny, move in Jesus' name!
3. Lord, at Your Word, let very closed doors open up for me today.
TODAY’S DECLARATION
Ephphatha “BE OPENED!” As I speak God's Word in faith, every ordained door opens and every mountain moves! In the name of Jesus, Amen!
