The Key and its mystery (1)

Ever wondered what happens when you stand before a door you'd thought would open, but never opened, however hard you tried? You get Frustrated! What could be the cause? You probably had the wrong key - meant to open another door; or you had no key at all which resulted into struggling with the door to force it open, yet, the door remains locked.

This experience is likened to most Christians today; some have the key but use it wrongly, so they live struggling; while some do not have the key but they keep pushing, fighting, crying, pleading and trying with all their might to push the door open, all to no avail. It's that time when you have to search for that key that you need to give you access to your place of rest and how to apply it to the right door in order to open. But how? You ask.

I'll tell you one thing I've realized about keys and doors and it has always worked for me. When I use the appropriate key to open my room door, I gain access into my room, not because I opened my door but the key actually did the opening, while I initiated the opening by applying the key into the key hole; so also gaining access to your place of rest (destiny). Trying to figure out how it will be done shouldn’t zap you of the energy needed to apply the basic principles.

.......and immediately, all the doors were open. Acts 16:26.

Paul and Silas knew so much about this mystery, that closed doors began to open of their "own accord". They had the key and they knew how to apply the key even when the door did not seem like one that could open.

Peter enjoyed the result of the rightful application of the key in the face of hopelessness.

They came to the iron gate that leads to the city; which opened to them of his own accord......Acts 12:10.

The battle of the throne has never been an easy one but only a few get to ascend their throne and reign on it, because they have the secret, they know the mystery behind the key! The reason why those that have the key fail in using it or fail in proper application of the key is because they spend more time trying to figure out how it will work. In the Kingdom, between a principle and the one who abides by the principle, lies the freedom to any form of captivity; if you play by the rules, you’re bound to win.

The secret behind the key lies in the POWER at work in the one who has the key; the manifestation of glory lies in the rightful APPLICATION of the key (total obedience). When the key is released to you, all you need do is apply it where necessary, how the change will be effected isn't your business. Why worry about another party's responsibility when you're yet to carry out yours?

The disciples returned with rejoicing after applying the key....

And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject to us through your name. And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.Luke 10:17-20;

How it happened? They couldn't tell, all they knew was to apply the key given to them (the name of Jesus) and they saw results - demons bowing out! If you’ll apply the right key from this day, you’ll not only see positive results but you’ll rule and reign.
