Get the Master Key (The Key and its Mystery - cont'd)

The ultimate key anyone should crave for is the key that gives you access to several other doors. Why did I say that? Jesus said, in my father’s house there are many mansions….. (John 14:2A), some translations say…..in my father’s house there are many “rooms” ….. Access to the Kingdom of God is paramount and necessary to gain access into the available rooms containing various blessings and gifts.That said, you’ll realize that there is so much to attain as long as you have the master key, which without it is impossible to gain access to these blessings. What then is the needed master key?

Salvation in another word is FREEDOM. Salvation came to man as a package and until you utilize all that came with salvation, you’ve not lived the abundant life that God intended for you; you cannot say you’re saved until you start living the life of the saved. What is the life of the saved?  A triumphant life; nothing short of the abundant life that Jesus Christ came to give (John 10:10). Most people associate abundance with only money and material things, no! You limit it when you attribute abundance to that alone. Abundance means rich spiritual life (remember the first man-Adam, He had a rich walk with God who kept him in good health, sound mind, free from oppression, provided more than enough food for him and Eve….he lacked nothing, above all he heard from God on daily basis- God always came down to relate with him as friends should ( Genesis 2:8-15, 3:8&9); that was the life that Jesus came to restore and until you locate that path, you’ll never enjoy the benefits of Salvation. Living the successful life that God predestined for you before you were born entails going through the main door to gain access to several other doors of wealth.

There are doors of good health, doors of spiritual growth, doors of marriage, doors of business expansion, doors of financial increase, doors of Kingdom prosperity, doors of peace, doors of mental exploits-where great ideas are locked, there are doors of babies, doors of careers, too many doors (Jesus said in my father’s house there are many mansions….(John 14:2A), now, do you think that these mansions are empty? Do you think you are only allowed to live life in abundance when you get to heaven? ….it gives your father great happiness to give you the Kingdom (Luke 12:32), but you can’t get the key if you do not accept the main key that permits you to go through it – Salvation. It is through working on that path that you’ll locate your destiny and become a success in the spiritual world and in the secular world. Until I make use of everything Christ has freely given to me through the work of salvation I will give myself no rest. Now, you ask, how can I start my journey to greatness?

ACCEPT Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior:

What you cannot accept will never deliver to you everything that it carries. You cannot say you have accepted Jesus on one part and keep dealing with the devil on the other side; I tell you what? You’ll be spat out like a rotten (Revelations 3:16)where Jesus talked about spitting out anything that is lukewarm….you’re either hot or cold…meaning, you’re either for me or you’re for the devil. Who are those for the devil? They are the workers of iniquity, those that enjoy the deeds of darkness, those that the bible calls the “dogs” – a dog literally means anyone that goes back to his vomit. They are outside -never involved in the things that please the Spirit (Revelations 22:15).

How will I get saved? If you can only CONFESS with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and BELIEVE in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9). Notice that the key words there are “confess” and “believe”. Your mouth and your heart will get you where you choose to be. It is conceived in the heart, desired in the heart, convinced in the heart and released through your mouth.

Work out your Salvation:

Is it possible for you receive anything from anyone you hardly know? It is one thing to accept someone and it’s a totally different thing to KNOW that person. You may accept anyone but you will only receive a little from that one you’ve accepted but when you know him, you’ll benefit more. For instance, a man sees a beautiful lady and accepts her as potential wife in his heart. From a distance, that man may never know what the lady will deliver to him if he doesn’t labor to know her, understand her personality, her purpose, etc until he draws closer to her; so also the woman.  The more you know Jesus, the more you receive from him, all that he came to deliver to you through his death on the cross. For the fact that you have accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior doesn’t mean that you will be given all the wealth and riches stored for you, just like that/overnight. No! There has to be some working out on your side. (Work out your Salvation with fear and trembling….(Philippians 2:12); the NLT version says, ……work hard to show the results of your Salvation, ….. You will build and battle (Like Nehemiah in Nehemiah Chapter 4), you’ll build your destiny with the help of the Holy Spirit which was released to you the moment your confessed Jesus (Ephesians 1:13). What do you do? Look on to Jesus who has the power to break sin, the author and finisher of your soul, look up to him to walk you through it all. Never rely on your ability to stay free from sin because it is impossible for you to save yourself, instead with holy fear and trembling (Philippians 2:2c), look up to Jesus as you work out your salvation to deliver to you all that it came with.

Stay repented:

How can you receive the fullness of the blessings when you confess Jesus with your mouth but in your heart you house every evil thought, from deception to idolatry? 2 Timothy 2:19 – God knows those who are His and Let those that name the name of the Lord depart from iniquity. Because you have been identified as God’s own, you have no business going back to the deeds of darkness which only limits you (lay aside every weight that so easily besets you….Hebrews 12:1); not only will you be limited, you will stop the angels of God that delivers to you whatsoever you want, from fulfilling their missions in your life.

That said, it is a genuine walk with God that sets you for the top where you’ll rule and reign; where you’ll labor and see the fruits. Because there are several doors that must be opened for these fruits to be delivered to you, by fruits I mean, spiritual wealth/fruits (Galatians 5:22), material wealth (money, shelter, clothing, food, wife, husband, career, advancement in the secular world, etc), good health, sound mind, etc. You’ll need several other keys for these doors to be opened.

Revelation knowledge:

In the early days of Peter's discipleship, he learned at the feet of Jesus and his mind began to open as Jesus had permitted. Luke 24:45.

Matthew 16:15-17 & 19

15Then he asked them, "But who do you say I am?" 16Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." 17Jesus replied, "You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. 19And I will give you the “keys” of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Verse 19a, Jesus did not release the keys of the Kingdom to Simon Peter because Peter means rock; the keys were released to Him because he had the revelation knowledge of whom Jesus was. It is revelation knowledge that Jesus said he would build the church on and the gates of hell shall not prevail.

That said, you should acquire more knowledge and in all thy getting, get understanding. No one entrusts a valuable possession into the hands of a child that knows little or nothing, else, the one who knows more and understands better may take his possession from him. It is God’s desire to bless and prosper you, but you have to show Him that you are fit to preserve whatever he gives to you. Paul said to Timothy, study to show yourself approved by God - 2 Timothy 2:15. Until you acquire knowledge, your inheritance will never be delivered completely to you; until you acquire knowledge, the enemy is determined to take away even the little that you’ve been able to possess.

The one that lacks knowledge of his true identity never goes far in live and that one tends to be kicked around by every Tom, Dick and Harry. The storms of life are fiercely blowing throughout the earth and it takes the man with the knowledge of himself and his creator to prevail. The Holy Spirit once ministered to me one morning and it never left me, He said that with knowledge you are unstoppable, get it! I tell you what, from that moment, after I delved into the Word of God and started making relentless searches; it’s been a dramatic turn around for me. You too can experience the same turn around. Read books by anointed authors, search the scriptures, ask questions, look with your physical eyes but pay the price to “see” with your spiritual eyes.

The Davidic Key:

Most Christians have narrowed Revelations 3:7 to the prosperity of King David – that is to the best of their understanding. By divine revelation, I came to understand that the man David did not jump into wealth like most people think every child of God should; he did not wake up one morning and saw himself as a leader. Before he amounted to anything, he faced severe oppositions, terrible hatred from his brothers, life threatening situations; yet, he lived a life of complete trust in God, regardless of imminent dangers. Little wonder he said in Psalm 34:1 “I will praise the LORD at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.”

Psalm 119:164 “Seven times a day do I praise you because of your righteous judgments.”

David lived a life of constant praise. Praising God in the face of danger, he praised God in the face of opposition and death; he praised God even in dark times. He purposed in his heart that the praises of his father will never depart from his lips irrespective of the fact that he wasn’t a leader nor a king; he trusted God completely to bring His promises to past.

Paul and Silas had this key which kept them above every situation, hence, freed from prison - Acts 16:25 & 26.

Those that have and use the key of praise and intense worship do not only command men and angels to favor them, they move God from His throne to act in their favor. Those that God seeks are those that will worship Him when all else fails, those that are sold out to him and those that completely trust Him to prevail in the end.

The Davidic key (praise) is the key that opens doors to greater heights and keeps the doors of failure and reproach closed forever. In all thy getting, get, use and preserve this key.
