Mordecai
and the Jews in Shushan were sentenced to death with the irreversible laws of the
kingdom and therefore could not appeal against the sentence. Yet within that
seemingly concluded blockade, God in His infinite mercies, power and love for
His own created divine exit doors out of the death sentence. Haman who
requested for and paid for the death sentence against the Jews died on the
gallows he had prepared to hang Mordecai on. The Jews got another decree signed
which empowered them to arm and defend themselves. The people that had planned
to kill the supposedly defenseless Jews for fun became afraid of the armed Jews
who had received royal authorization to fight back their attackers. Please read
the entire book of Esther for details.
The
people of Jericho barricaded their gates against the Israelites. Without
recourse to the use of explosives which bring down fortified brick and mortar, God
created divine exit doors for His people. Please see Joshua Chapter 6 for
details.
The
satraps thought they had Daniel silenced forever when he was thrown into the
den of lions. But God created a protective wall of fire for Daniel by shutting
the mouths of the lions. After Daniel was released and the satraps as well as
members of their families were thrown into the den of lions, the lions had a
feast of human flesh. Please see Daniel Chapter 6 for details. Additionally,
the King opted to serve Daniel’s God and made a proclamation that made it
mandatory for everyone to serve Daniel’s God.
Shedrach,
Meshach and Abednego refused to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar’s image.
Consequently, they were thrown into the fiery furnace of fire. But God
intervened and the fire had no effect on them. Upon their release, Nebuchadnezzar
publicly proclaimed the worship of Jehovah God in Babylon.
Finally,
but not the least the kingdom of darkness thought that they could stop Jesus
Christ by using the Pharisees against Jesus and nailing Him to the cross. In
addition, they secured his grave and also put soldiers there to prevent His
disciples from coming to steal His body. What appeared to be the perfect
blockade turned out to be their waterloo because despite all they did; Jesus
rose triumphant from the dead and empowered humanity and also set humans free
from the grips of the devil. Please see Matthew Chapters 27 verses 62 to 66; 28
verses 1 to 10 and 1st Corinthians Chapter 2 verses 6 to 8.
While
blockades may appear discouraging and final, they are actually divine
opportunities and launch pads to leapfrog challenges in order to soar to
greatness.
Therefore,
you have not seen your best days yet. Because Jesus Christ paid the full price
for your redemption and total deliverance by His shed blood on the cross, you
have and will always have divine exit doors out of seeming blockades or dead
ends in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Please see Isaiah Chapter 43 verses 15
to 19.
Therefore,
don on your best or favorite suit for that moment; that great moment of transformation,
honor, wealth, and fame is here for you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Forget the past that brought you shame, humiliation and reproach. God has
opened doors of greatness for you. Walk through them and enjoy in the mighty
name of Jesus Christ. Shalom.
