God Also Closes Doors

God also closes doors especially to those He loves.

Though we pray for open doors, God says that He shuts doors no man can open. And if God loves you, you can have sessions if closed doors for your good.

Some doors God closes, we are supposed to thank him for it.

God closes doors so:

• You don’t get into destruction

• You don’t get into temptations you can bear.

• You can discover better opportunities and not settle for less

Know this, you can’t have better plans than your creator.

Sometimes your sacrifices close doors rather than opening them.

Let me share a short story:

One lady who had not married for years got engaged and 2 weeks to the wedding, the husband to be called it off and married another woman. She cried bitterly that God hated her. Two weeks after the wedding, the man died. When the lady heard the news, though she sympathized with his family, she thanked God for saving her from being a quick wed.

That’s human, she cried bitterly and blamed God for the wedding disappointment, but now, she thanks God for closing the door to marrying that man.

We jump up and shout for joy when that car has been destroyed and you came out without a scratch. But we fail to show gratitude if we miss the same accident, due to a delay or whatever could change our plans or timing for that day. We just silently play down a huge deliverance.

Sometimes God allows us to narrowly escape some things so that we can get the memo. That we enter bus every time and come out safe is not our doing. You don’t have the slightest idea of the terabytes of information and commands that are programmed into the sun, the moon, and the stars.

See:

God can take you through bad roads deliberately for your safety and good. Because it's either the good road might not be safe or He wants you to know/master the road so that you can withdraw the experience in the future.

That’s the kind of system God passed David through.

David didn’t just learn terrains with maps. He learnt it the hard way with Saul chasing him here and there, with him running for his dear life.

See:

In this life, you'll go through challenges, trials, and tribulations. Especially if you are faithful to God, yours might even be much.

There is a prayer I say often:

Father if there is any mountain, Valley, or fire I have to pass through to develop the capacity and qualifications I need to be able to serve my purpose on earth, Father, I don’t want to jump class. I need your grace, direction, and strength as I go through it.
