FAITH CAPSULE: Insist and resist the enemy against an open door.
Mark 5
Seeking the face of God for a breakthrough over concerning challenge demands to insist and resist to gain the presence of God, denying the enemy the agent of a hindrance.
The enemy is stubborn to deny breakthroughs.
God is a good God that opens the door for one with need while the enemy takes a position to shut down the open door.
The testimony of Apostle Paul is evidence that the enemy does not have respect for no one in his business to deny open doors of breakthrough. Apostle Paul states, “For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” (1 Corinthians 16:9)
Do you know if your open door of breakthrough is the target of the enemy with an attempt to deny you?
As a believer, insist on and resist the enemy against the open door before God.
Jairus insisted and resisted the enemy for the open door of healing for his daughter, not to become a victim of untimely death, when he came to Jesus.
The Bible records, “…And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, ‘My daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed and she will live.’” (Mark 5:22-23)
The demonstration of Jairus testifies to his insistence and resistance to get the attention of Jesus for the healing of his daughter.
Jairus, one of the rulers of the synagogue, pride could have denied him from persisting and resisting to gain an open door of deliverance for his daughter in the hand of sudden death.
Jairus put aside his religious title not to become a victim of gaining an open door of healing for delivering his daughter.
Jairus did three things to have the open-door answer for the deliverance healing for his daughter.
First, he met Jesus at the right location as the crossing point.
Your crossing point could be at the ground of fellowshipping.
In time to gain opened door, many have missed their crossing point because of their title (pride).
Jairus consciously disallowed his title, not to deny his miracle healing for his daughter.
In life, insist on and resist the manifestation of expectation to experience the visitation of God.
Secondly, Jairus saw Jesus, and he took a step of faith.
Stepping out of the multitude caused Jairus to have direct contact with Jesus.
Jesus knows all things, and the need of Jairus was not strange to Jesus. His stepping out and seeing Jesus was a renunciation of being a part of the multitude with pride.
Just like Jairus, allow Jesus to see you in your need.
Thirdly, Jairus fell at His feet.
He laid it all unto Jesus.
Jairus did not allow his title to prompt pride in him when he fell before Jesus to make his request.
Pride could not shut open the door for the healing of the daughter of Jairus.
Prayer for today: Ask for the answering hand of God against the agent that shuts the open door.
