Devotion by Reverend Joseph Antwi

Theme: Possessing the Summer Gates – We Have No One Lord But You

Fortified City Church & Love City Church, Basel

Day 3– Friday, 27th June

Topic - Gate of Expansion & Blessing

Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.” (Hosea‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

On this third and final day of our fast, the Lord’s restoration is leading us through His gates of expansion and blessings.

The summer signifies the beginning of a new season, times of renewal, flourishing and fresh starts. It is also a season of growth and fruitful harvests representing a time of spiritual growth and productivity for the believer.

So, not only are we possessing the gates of our enemies but our prayers and fasting are also ushering us through gates of fruitfulness, growth and divine provision which the Lord is holding open for us.

In His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand, pleasures beyond what our minds can think, imagine or ask for (Psalm 16:11 NKJV).

Therefore, let’s stand in faith on His Word and in the power of His Spirit at work in us. Being confident that, every wilderness area of our lives will become a fruitful field (Isaiah 32:15) as we follow His leading.

STEP INTO YOUR SEASON OF OPEN DOORS!!

This summer, the Lord is placing before us open doors of blessings, opportunities and abundance that no one can shut (Rev 3:8a NKJV). Can you see them?

May we have eyes to recognise those doors (gates) and walk boldly through them, making effective use of the season in Jesus mighty name! Amen.
