Title: Heavenly gates/portals
Scriptures: Psalm 78: 23-25, Genesis 28: 10-17, John 1: 51
A portal is an entry point.
A portal allows or disallows certain things to happen in your life. It offers divine presence and protection.
There has to be a portal for either good or bad things to happen in your life.
Foolishness and not applying yourself fully can open portals of wrong things into your life.
Some things happen in our lives because of bloodline portals.
God opened the doors of heaven and rained down manna upon the Israelites.
When Jacob was travelling from Beersheba to Haran, he got to a certain place and stayed there all night.
He took stones from that place and made them his pillows.
He had a dream and there was a ladder set upon the earth, the top of it reached heaven and the angels of God ascended and descended on it.
When Jacob had an encounter with the gate of heaven, it was not well with him.
He was running away from his brother Esau who wanted to kill him for taking away his blessing.
Stones for a pillow were uncomfortable, God can allow discomfort in your life to cause you to have an encounter with Him.
When the gate of heaven was opened upon Jacob’s life, he received generational blessings from God.
Jesus said told Nathaniel, His disciple, that he was going to see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
With Jesus Christ in your life, your life becomes an entry point of heaven.
God can close evil doors in our lives if we apply His principles.
Crying and suffering do not close evil doors.
There is a portal for every season.
We are approaching the portal of the year 2022.
What happens to you in a new season is determined by the way you enter the gates of that season.
There is a path you should begin to take towards the portal of 2022.
How gates are opened
1.When you indulge in sin, you open wrong gates into your life.
When you obey God and do right, you open gates of blessings into your life.
2. Acts 2: 1-2: God commands a blessing where there is unity. For good gates to be opened in our lives, we should be united as families and as a church.
3. Acts 4: 31 Prayer opens heavenly gates in our lives.
4. Matthew 3: 16: Obedience opens heavenly gates in our lives. Jesus Christ, our role model was obedient to God up to His death on the Cross. Jesus Christ was baptised in obedience to God. Jesus Christ was nailed on the Cross in obedience to God.
Be well-positioned so that the gates of heaven can be opened to every area of your life as we approach the gates of 2022.
Be blessed.
