Warm Doors

For a door is opened to me, great and efficacious, and there are many opposers. (1 Corinthians 16:9, RecVer)

With the changing political situation in the country, the gospel door seems to have closed down especially in the North. But no one can fully close the doors the Lord Jesus has kept open. No matter what the enemy has tried and may still try to do, the door of the gospel cannot be closed. For the Lord Jesus already prophesied that the gates of Hades cannot prevail against it, the church built by Christ.

And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18, RecVer)

This prophecy holds true today. Though there may be outward restrictions, the Lord still opnes the door for the gospel as there are seekers of the truth and the true and living God whom the Lord has preserved. The past three weeks, I was able to visit a family whom the Lord preserved as open door for the gospel and a warm door to the church.

The Lord opened the hearts of the seekers and we have been enjoying regular home meeting. Last three weeks, in my visit, the Spirit of the Lord led us to call upon the Lord’s name, sing hymn, read the word of God, read the ministry portion, share the word of God, and pray together. At least, the Lord gives the church some warm doors for the gospelisation and truthisation. I do believe, the Lord in time will save the whole household, their neighbors, and even raise up a district meeting in that area. 

Our responsibility now is to simply be faithful to what the Lord has given to us. For what He has not given, we need not pursue until He leads us to do so. But for what He has given and open the door, we must be faithful to visit for fellowship and shepherding.

Lord, open up more and.more warn doors.
