LIFT UP YOUR HEADS O YE GATE'S BY @caleb-marvel..

Hello my dear friend, good day to you all and how are you doing today. It's good to know that you all are living in good health and Love.

INTRODUCTION

This is your brother and friend @caleb-marvel, am here this morning to talk about a topic I captioned Left up your heads Oh ye gates and by the help of the lord today, we will be considering so many things that can be a gate in someone's life and by the help of the holy spirit, evil gate are going to be lifted up today and the children of God are going to be free.

In this post, you will see how God used the @steemalive community to lift up from my way the gate of "clublessness" but clublessness is still a Gate. I know that many people will ask how? But it you want to get the answer, just read through this post carefully 👇....

LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, O YE GATES

First of all what is a gate and what is it use for? To me a gate is any thing that is being used in protecting a Territory or City e.t.c. it can be made up of wood, mental, iron 🧇🧇 e.t.c. In the time of old, our village's normal put gate in it's entrance and security men will be there take sure that no enemy comes in. And in most of our houses today, you see it well fenced with gate in it.
The way that there are gates phicicaly, so the are big and mighty gates spiritually.

Without waiting our time, let go straight to the topic for the day.

Where you can get this image

Our Bible reading for today will be taking from the book of Psalm"24:7 and it says "
Psalm 24:7, KJV: Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.. Many believers will say that and a Christian, am born again and therefore am covered. My dear it not really true ooh because you being born again, is your soul that is safe ooh. But remember that you are still living on earth here and there are many powers and principalities that are fighting the children of God here on earth, and if you are not prayerful you may be stopped by those forces and your purpose for coming to this earth may be aborted.

If Jesus who himself is God can acknowledge that there are gates, in the beginning he was and before the earth was made he has been in existence. He and his father is one and Jesus is the foundation on which the church is built and the same can openly say that unto the church say unto the Apostles and those that will come after them that "there are gates", then those of us that are still in our early pregrimage, sons and daughters of the Most High should not as a matter of fact, take such statement for granted.

So many times I could hear some person's say that "if God is God, why will he allow all this things to happen to me, why will he be allowing this type of challenges, why will he allow his Children to fall sick and the church has prayed and still praying and there is no sine of recovery?"

I remember in 2 Corinthian's"12 when the bible talk about "Paul", one of the greatest Apostle of their own time, a man that was highly used by God and a man the grow to the hight in his ministry that even the cloth that he uses to clean his face where taking to the sick and as it touches the sick, the get the freedom and become healed and set free from captivities, from manipulations, from forcing of Darkness. The same man at a point in his life became sick, the bible tells us that he was tormented by this sickness. At a time he decided to take it to God in prayers crying to God, please can you take this sickness from me? Just to enable me to save you.. Sometimes, some of us think that when there are challenges as a Child of God that when you pray that you will quickly have you deliverance. My dear even before you start praying, he already knows what you are passing through in life.
Remember that Paul said that three time I pray unto him, asking him to take this infirmity, this particular sickness not for any other thing, but to enable him to serve God but what surprise me is that in each of those occasions the answer he gets from God is that my grace is Sufficient for you..
The truth is that before Jesus speaking to the disciples could make this statement he is the foundation on which is church is built, but I want to let you know that even in the midst of that, there are gates. There are gates that the church must contend with, there are gates that the church must resist and there are gates that if care is not taking and the church fails to rise to it's responsibility, even some of this gates no matter how small it is, or minor you make look at them, they are capable of resisting the Church, of stopping the church, of prevailing over the church, when the Church fails in her responsibilities. So is not by mistake this moment that the Lord is opening our eyes to the fact that just because we are in the church, will not prevent us from facing this gates..

TYPES OF GATE

• Sickness
• Near to success syndrome
• Poverty
• Failure
• Childlessness
• Wrong family patterns
• Wrong foundations
• Marrital Struggle etc.
• Clublessness .... It is a gate because it will make you not to have the curators vote..

If there is anybody that will make you fill that as long as you are a child of God, that there are not going to be battles, then you deceive yourself. The truth is that I have discovered that in life, the higher you go the tougher it becomes, the higher you go the more challenging it becomes, the higher you go the more gates you are to face. Jesus did not say one gate, he said gates with are many.. life is stage by stage so if you break through the first gate and enter stage to, be ready that the second gates must come.

Remember that when you are not yet married there are little challenge you face, but after marriage which is your second stage, there are more gates to resist like Childlessness and so on.
For example now, we have more than one keys in steemit that is to say that there are more than one door. For you to access your wallet and other things, there are different keys for them.

If i have access to my post key, I will make post and earn alot of steem but if I didn't have the key for transfer of steem, I can never take any money from my wallet although I will be seeing them.

That is how it is to a Christian also because to each blessings there are gates that need to be opened for us to access the treasures that are keep for us. And if you fail to do that, on earth here you make be frustrated in your christian race.

CONCLUSION

As Christians we need to pray and not to faint and I pray that what ever being that gate that any of us is facing right now, I pray that the Lord will help us and those gates of sickness, poverty, barrenness e.t.c will be lifted up in the name of Jesus, and to every everlasting doors we command you to be open forever in the name of Jesus Christ.
Thanks you Jehovah for hearing our prayers for we pray thee through Christ our Lord, Amen..
