BE CAREFUL WHEN DOORS OPEN FOR YOU. SOME DOORS ARE PRISON DOORS

NOT EVERY OPEN DOOR IS GOD’S DOOR AND NOT EVERY OPEN DOOR IS A DOOR YOU SHOULD ENTER AT THAT TIME.

OUR OBSESSION FOR OPENING DOORS WITHOUT DISCERNMENT WILL LAND US IN TROUBLE.

Many years ago when we had our first crusade, after that crusade, because we usually would organize a crusade in partnership with PFN or at least, some of the Church body there. After the crusade, I remember some of the PFN leaders called me and said, why don’t you come and establish a branch of the ministry there, we will give you some pastors, you can train them and have it.

For most believers, that look like breakthrough. Be careful when doors open, even the prison has doors. So, when a door is opened, you better find out where you are entering. Nobody enters the prison except through a door; every trouble has a door that leads to it. Our obsession for opening doors without discernment will land us in trouble.

At the time God helped us to start this ministry and I say this with all honour to Jesus, I will never forget that time, that was when ministries used to generate revenue principally from the media ministry, then internet was not really the way it is now, so you package your CDs, cassettes and then, it will be a major stream of income.

I remember the Lord spoke to me and He said, “You will not sell any media material. You will put your raw audios online and my angels will take it to the nations.” It didn’t make sense but glory be to God, the foolishness of discerning the will of God. I told you that the will of God does not make sense in many regards as at the time His Word comes but if you can obey…
