Pastor Taiwo @ Sunday Service
In continuation of his message on Covenant Manifestation, Pastor Taiwo at the July 8 Sunday service said that everything about open doors has to do with the access believers have in Christ Jesus to do exploits in every area of their assignment. This access, according to him, reveals the heart of Jesus, exposes the plans of the devil and sharpens a believer’s discerning ability. “Everything about the open door is about your assignment,” he said.
Speaking from 1 Corinthians 16:5-9; Acts 14:27, 17:28; 2 Corinthians 2:10; Ephesians 2:18 and Colossians 4:3, Pastor Taiwo noted that every opportunity comes with some opposition. According to him, believers need not to focus on their little strength or their challenges but on the opportunity given to them through the access in Christ Jesus. In his words, “Your life as a Christian is rooted in Christ and it affords you total access, but you need to know this in order to manifest it.”
He then implored every believer never to allow the devil to deceive them into focusing on challenges as this will distract them from fulfilling their purpose. “Every divine opening comes with an opposition. Be confident that there is an opportunity behind those challenges, so focus on the opportunities and manifest,” he said.
“OPEN DOORS: COVENANT MANIFESTATION”
Pastor Taiwo @ Thursday Showers
Addressing the congregation at the July 5 Thursday Showers service on ‘Covenant Manifestation’, Pastor Taiwo said that the whole concept of redemption is based on ‘open door’—the eternal access to everyone who accepts the gift of salvation.
According to him, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ delivered every believer from the hold of the devil and brought them into a covenant with God. This, he said, qualifies them to reign in life. “There is no covenant manifestation like access. Jesus’ death and resurrection took us out of the oppression and control of the devil and made us the kings we were meant to be,” he said.
Speaking from John 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 16:9, Pastor Taiwo further explained that great and effective door is opened to every believer just as it was opened for the early apostles. This open door, according to him, is a mega door of opportunities which also comes with challenges.
He however urged them never to focus on the challenges or the oppositions because they would distract them from going through their open doors. “Make up your mind to focus on the opportunities and get the best of them,” he enjoined.
