GAINING ENTRANCE
2Chronicles 32

Whatever is gaining entrance into the life of a believer will either make or break that believer. If the Word of God enters, it will make such a believer and if the enemy finds a means of gaining entrance, it will break such a believer. What is entering into you? When the enemy wants to break down the life of a believer, he will have to gain entrance. Without the enemy gaining entrance, it will be almost impossible to break the believer from the outside. The same applies to the Word of God. For the Word to make a believer, the Word will have to gain entrance. Psalm 119:130, “The entrance of the words gives light; it gives understanding unto the simple.” The Word of God that enters will make the life that it enters and that life will never be of darkness or of defeat. Gaining entrance either in a person or territory is important because it will deliver victory or defeat. Once in the attempt of attacking Judah, Sennacherib King of Assyria entered Judah. 2 Chronicles 32:1-3, “After these deeds of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and entered Judah; he encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them over to himself.  And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem, he consulted with his leaders and commander to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him.” The purpose of Sennacherib’s entering into Judah was to make an effective war against Judah. It was left for Judah to reverse the negligence of allowing the enemy to gain entrance. As a believer, we do have a choice in the Word of God not to allow the enemy to gain entrance. When an enemy is within, a believer can be redeemed by allowing the Word to work as a weapon of defense. The Word of God will work a great deal especially when time is constantly being given to the Word and not waiting until the enemy gains entrance. As a believer, will you be willing to build yourself up against the enemy? The apostle Paul stated in Acts 20:32, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” Victory is also one of your inheritances that are available if the Word of grace is constantly gaining entrance into your life. Jesus, the Word of God has come to give life while the devil has come to take life. Only one of the two can have a place and operate at a time. Allow the Word to gain its entrance into your life today.

Prayer for today: Enable me O Lord and let your word have its rightful place in me in Jesus name.
