The Spirit of the Lord dropped in my heart that there’s someone here today, you are confused with the decision that are staring at you, God said I am the light of the world, I will clear those doubt from you. There’s a young person here, I don’t know what age you are but you are at the verge of taking a major step, God said I have helped you in the past, I will help you again. Thank You Father, blessed be the name of the Lord.

The set man in this house and his team, the light of glory in your life will never go out. Father, we pray for the man of God, his family and his team and their family, it will be from one glory to another in the name of Jesus. As God has raised you as a voice, you will not become an echo, and all the helpers of this church, may God send you help from the east, from the west, from the south, from the north. May you have help home and help internationally in the name of Jesus.
Whoever came into this house today sick, receive your healing in the name of Jesus. Your major request and your minor request, may God grant you in the name of Jesus.

Lord Almighty, we pray You bless us together, Spirit of the living God, just take over, get the glory to Yourself. Thank You our Father, blessed be Your holy name, in Jesus mighty name we prayed.
Help me to tell your neighbor, God will give you the keys that open all doors.
I want to appreciate our father and our mommy in the house, the Almighty God will bless you, you’ll continue to shine as light, your light will never go out, God will continually increase you every day for the rest of your life. When you turn, things will turn around for you, the God who blesses will give a blessing that’s not reversible over your life. Whatever expectation of yours, God will top it with interest and deliver it to you and it shall be well with you in Jesus name. God bless you sir, God bless you ma.
For all my leaders here who are too numerous to mention now, my biological father warned me, when you are greeting your leader, remove your cap and bow and I’ve been doing that, so I remove my cap and I bow, the Lord will bless you in Jesus name.
Matthew 16: 19, “And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on the earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on the earth shall be loosed in heaven.” May the Lord bless the reading and hearing of His word in the name of Jesus.
There is a mystery between doors and keys and everything you see in life visible, there are forces behind it; what you see physically is a manifestation of what has already been decided spiritually. Jesus in one of the most profound statement He made when He was here on the earth and you know that Jesus is the truth and the truth never lie, in John 1:14, He said, “And the word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, glory as the only begotten Son from the Father), full of grace and truth.”
John 14:6 says, “The way, the truth, and life,” He now said, “I will give unto you the keys and that whatsoever you loose on the earth, it will be loosed; whatsoever you bind will be bound.” So there is a mystery of doors.
What is a door? A door is a means of entrance. What is a door? A door is a point of access. What is a door? A door is a system of authorization. What is a door? A door is a mechanism of safety. What is a door? A door is something that gives you passage to where precious things are.
Now beloved of God, effort is not enough in life; when doors are closed, you need something that will do the rest. And you need to know, when we talk about doors and keys, spiritual doors determine who enters, spiritual doors determine who advances, spiritual doors determine who rises, spiritual doors determine who remain limited. I pray for someone, you will not be limited in life.
Because you can be intelligent and be ignored and you can be skilled and be stagnant, you can be gifted and be grounded. There are pitiable lawyers, abandoned doctors, unprogressive engineers, stranded pharmacists, only when doors are open, it looks like you are the only one who is there. And Jesus said, I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom.
Access is not by strength, it is by key. Life is governed by doors, doors are controlled by keys and without keys access is denied. Every dimension of life has doors: your profession has doors, every day has a door, finances have doors, marriages have doors, and ministry has doors. Until the door is open, you can do anything, you can complain, you can hear. But I pray for people who care to say amen here, your doors will be open.
What are the noticeable sign that the door of a person is closed? Let me mention five things. Number one, qualified but denied. You met all the requirements yet rejection followed. When doors are shut spiritually, favor disappears, it just fiddles into the air. When doors are closed spiritually, you see something in the physical.
Look at the story of Joseph in the book of Genesis 39: 6-20; this young man Joseph was qualified, faithful, competent, yet he was falsely accused and thrown into the prison, so qualifications alone does not always guarantee access. When there is a spiritual blockage, it is blocked.
Number two sign that a door of a person is closed, effort without results. They call it near success syndrome – about to make it. You work so hard but you struggle without advancement.
In Haggai 1: 6, the Bible says you have so much and bring little; a classic example of this was what we found in Luke 5:5. Peter, a professional fisherman, labored all night and caught nothing; he said, “Master, we have toiled all night”, even skilled professionals can experience empty results without divine intervention. I pray today, God will intervene in your profession.
That’s why we said to all these young men who are japa and japada because not everyone in America get their life amended, UK doesn’t make any life okay, don’t go to Germany to go and jam your life, don’t go to Canada to go and can your life, don’t go to Australia to go and ostracize yourself, now, not everyone in Sweden do good, they are sweeping the ground, Dubai doesn’t make any life do good.
Where God destines you stay and ask the God of heaven to open doors. There are people who have never left the shore of this nation except to just go and do holidays and come back and they are making it, you will make it. You didn’t beg God to create you, you didn’t beg Him, if I’m to choose my nationality, I know where I will choose, don’t ask me, but you know yourself where you will choose.
But now I find myself in Nigeria, I’m so proud with my green passport, I raise my head high anywhere, everybody and every country has their idiosyncrasies, weeping may endure for the night, joy cometh in the morning. My beginning may be small, my latter will later increase; my enemy don’t mock me, if I fall I will rise again; I may sit in the shadow of darkness, the Lord will be my light. Say ye to the righteous man, it shall be well with him.
What are the signs that somebody’s door is closed? Number three, life becomes unusually difficult. Things that should have helped that fellow hinder him, opportunity slips away, system works against you, progress becomes stressful.
In Job 3: 25-26, Job said, “The thing I fear greatly has come upon me”; when certain life becomes very troublesome, that’s an organized resistence.
Number four, what is a sign that doors are closed to someone? Destiny helper forgets you. Where you are today is by the help of someone, where you will be tomorrow, somebody has to help you, there is nobody in life who is a self-made. Somebody has a word somewhere, whether you know or you didn’t know, it doesn’t really matter.
David would not have gone to the throne without Jonathan. Your helper will locate you. Joseph was gifted yet rejected – help. When somebody’s door is closed, help is far away. Look at it in Genesis 40: 23, the Bible says, “Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph”; when doors are closed, even helper lose memory.
Let me pray a prayer I pray every week for you, anywhere my helper is, anywhere your helper is, because of you, they will lose their sleep.
Number five, delayed manifestation of promise(s). You have clear prophecy, you have clear vision and you have divine assurances, yet nothing materializes; you know that God said this specifically to you but it doesn’t add up.
In Habakkuk 2:3, the Bible says the vision should be for an appointed time, but when doors are closed, promises are postponed and expectations are frustrated, when this happens, you ask questions, God, have You forgotten me? God what have I done? But everyone who has been forgotten, God will open a book of remembrance.
When doors are open, I want to mention five things; when doors are closed, I mentioned five things – qualified but denied; effort without result; number three, life becomes unusually difficult; number four, destiny helper forgets; number five, delay manifestation of promises.
Now, when doors are open, what are the things that we see in place? Number one, sudden turnaround occurs. Even the devil could be used. Now in 2 Kings 25: 27-30, Jehoakim was in dungeon for 37 years but it was the devil, the king, Evil=merodach, (what is evil? Devil), for in a mysterious way, when doors are open, one day can rewrite your story and your story will contact its glory.
Number two, what happens when doors are open? Destiny helpers appear. In Esther 6: 1-3 – let me pray another prayer, everyone who has your help in their hand, they will lose their sleep.
Mordecai was a a common gate man, never you belittle what God can do; if He can bring Joseph from a dungeon to the palace, it doesn’t matter where you are, you will end up at the top, I will end up at the top. In that particular Esther, the king could not sleep, bring the book of Chronicles and they opened the book and he said, what has it been done for Mordecai?
And God used his enemy to suggest his blessing; they asked Haman, what shall be done to the man that king loves? He said it and the king said go and do the same.” When your doors are open, men are compelled to help you, kings remember you and favor looks for you, and that will be your portion in the name of Jesus.
Number three, when doors are open, captivity ends, captivity will not only end, captivity turns. I don’t know what you are going through, and if language allows it, I don’t know what is going through you, there are people who don’t have problem with money but they have problem with health.
Some people don’t have problem with money and health but they have problem with raising children; some people don’t have other problem, they cannot hold down a wife or a husband, they can’t have a home. The troubles of every human being are in different direction, and any problem at all is a form of captivity.
There are people who can’t sleep except they swallow some drugs, there are people who have been put on life support, they said this sickness cannot be cured but you have to manage it for life. But I stand on this podium, the God who has sent Jesus as the great Physician who paid the supreme price for your health, for my health, everything they call incurable, the God who can do all things will cure you permanently.
In Exodus 12:41, 430 years of bondage ended one night, long bondage can end instantly. And I don’t know what to carry to the church today, I’ve not come here to preach and to sermonize to you, but come to encourage you and strengthen your faith so that you can make a demand on God because Christianity is not just about ‘I know we worship God, I know we say we are praising Him but everything we do in church is about us’.
God is not promotable, God is not enlargeable, He’s not demotable, He’s all complete in one, what you do, what I do doesn’t change Him, there are trillions and xillions of angels praising Him in heaven and they are praising Him unstoppably because there isn’t any night there. So when you come to church, you have come to Him, the One who can lift your burden. He said to us in Matthew 11:28-30, come unto me, bring your labor, bring your problem; in first Peter 5:7, He said, “Casting your care upon me because I care,” so let Him have it.
About 40 years ago, they told me I have less than 6 months to live, I’ve given a testimony and if you refuse to die nobody will bury you, so I refuse to die because the Bible says I will not die any death, also I will live. Death is even an appointment, it is appointed, so you can change the appointment of death because you shift appointment, you postpone, you bring it forward, so you are the one to determine, don’t agree with what the devil has said.
The reason is 1 Peter 2: 9, you are a royal priesthood, a peculiar person; when the anointing of kings doesn’t work, use that of a priest, you are a king. Revelation 1:5, 6 & 10, you are a king; and Ecclesiastes 8: 4, it says where you have the word of a king there is authority and when king speaks, Job 6:25, how possible are the right words of a king, the king decrees, no wonder Job 22:28, thou will decree a thing and it shall be established and light will shine on your path.
Anything you discover God has not planted, refuse it, and you are the one to refuse it, nobody. Don’t wait for the pastor, you are the one, it’s your life, and nobody will help you to live your life. So when doors are open, captivity ends. Any evil report in your life, reject it, and nobody will help you to reject it, reject it.
Jabez told himself, I can’t carry this, 1 Chronicles 4: 9-10, I can’t go with this, and God said yes, I hear you, come on, go ahead and do what you want to do, and God turned his situation.
When doors are open, number four, impossibility becomes a testimony. Impossibility of many years become a testimony. Abraham, father of faith, had a promise to become father of nation in Genesis 12: 1- 3, and this didn’t come to pass until Genesis 21: 1 & 6. The Bible says God visited Sarah as He promised, and this Sarah carry laughter. I don’t know what secret tears and secret sorrow that you have, but I hear it from the Lord, every secret tears and sorrow are over in your life in the name of Jesus.
I don’t know what human being called impossible, impossibility for God is like a piece of paper because Jeremiah 32: 27, nothing is hard for Him. Where we read today, I will give you the keys, what you open will be open, what you close will be closed. That means God has thrown the responsibility on you, do anything you want with the life.
If you agree that that is how you’ll be managing, that’s okay, God cannot do anything, but if you refuse and there are people who stood their ground and that’s why you are a child of God, the Spirit of God dwells in you. In John 1:12, as many as believe Him, to them gave Him power to become sons and daughters of God. I pray today, every impossible situation in your life shall be made possible.
And lastly, divine remembrance; when doors are open, you are remembered.
In Genesis 30: 22, and God remembered [put your name], God of heaven will remember you. When God remembers you, men cannot ignore you, no, men cannot ignore you; when you are remembered, it’s certain that men will be compelled and mandated.
When Joseph stood before Pharaoh, Pharaoh said he didn’t know how he started giving him authority; if Joseph had been vindictive, the first person to be jailed would have been Potiphar and his wife. When God remembers you, don’t be vindictive, release everyone; He told them in Genesis 50:20, you meant it for evil, but God – no wonder Romans 8:28, all things will work together for good. And I pray it will work for you in the name of Jesus.
What are the keys that open doors? Number one is the key of the word of God. Psalm 105: 19, until the time the word came, the word of the Lord tried him. Destiny opens at the level of revelation. The word of God enlightens, it authorizes, the word of God unlocks.
So the Bible said in that particular Isaiah 40:8, grass wither, flower fades, please take the word of God as an incantation, maybe one of these days I will teach you how to mix spiritual concussion, when you mix John with Mark with Isaiah and Jeremiah and with Luke, lukuluku a kan gbe won lo ni, you mix it together, who says I don’t have something? I have never confessed to anyone I don’t have something, I have something because the greater One lives in me.
If you do like this for me, you are doing it at your own detriment because the greater One lives in me. And you know Romans 8:31, if God be for us, who can be against us? Take in the word of God, the word of God is one of the keys.
Number two key is the key of prayer. Jeremiah 33:3, it says, “Call upon me, I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that thou knowest not.” Prayer is a force or the force that invokes heaven; prayer enforces destiny and prayer breaks resistance, you need to apply that.
And I’ve said to you, when you come to church, it’s not a time to decorate God and you are saying ‘Oluwa, Oluwa’, and the Oluwa is saying kilode, kilode, ki lo fe, ki lo fe? It’s not the time to say oh God, oh God, and God is saying what is it? What do you want? It’s a time to tell Him this is what I want. Forces of prayer.
And number three is the forces of decree. Kings rule by decree, you are not ordinary, I don’t know if I have taught you this one, if anybody says any evil to you, say to that fellow, back to sender. Evil agenda, back to sender; sickness, back to sender; sorrow, back to sender; anything negative, back to sender. When somebody tells you this, back it to sender, you know why? There is authority in your mouth, you don’t need nobody’s permission to be able to decree it.
I called Job 22:28 earlier on, thou shall decree a thing. I was the first pastor of Mowe in 1989; on Saturday when we were doing preparatory class, I’ve not come to preach today, is just because there are boss who mandated me to be here; there is a continental overseer but there are people directing, this is the way to go and you don’t disobey those who direct you.
1989 as a pastor in Mowe, on Saturday, a woman walked in and said where is the pastor here? And 1989 to this time, now I have flesh and blood, you need to look at my picture at that time, and she spoke in vernacular, she said o ti kan idin ninu iyo, that in seven days you’ll be mad. I said me? She said yes, iwo abi metala e; I said me? I said ma, if I feel headache in five days I will throw away my Bible, if any of the team here on Saturday feels headache I will go back, you know my name is Odesola, I will go back, but if you are not mad in seven days then God has not called me. She said you have not prayed, I said I don’t need to pray; she said se iwo yii abi metala e, I said you don’t need my metala, you only need me, you don’t need 13 of me. Sir, ma, there is the resident power that sits in you, don’t let anybody mesmerize you.
It was Shakespeare who said you don’t use the faith to discover the construction of the earth, something that is in you is greater than what they are looking outside. Sunday as we were rounding off the service, they brought a woman that is mad. I wanted to pray and my assistant of blessed memory, Pastor Joe, he’s gone to be with the Lord, the plumber of Redeemed, he said don’t you know her? I said I don’t know; he said that’s the woman who threatened you.
I told them in vernacular, were e ko I tii ja’ja, ko I tii bu’gi je (her madness hasn’t entered the marker), they begged, I prayed for that woman, she didn’t get healed immediately, and I said take her to the old auditorium where house of favor is, stay there for two or three hours, she will recover, and true to what God can do, one hour. She became a member, became an elder before she died, all her children are in church today.
I’m talking about the word, the key of the word of God; if you allow your door to be shut is up to you. I don’t know what doors has been shut against you, but you can command the door to open because you have the key, only those who are not allowed to open that door are the people who are not born again. If you are born again, it doesn’t matter whether you got born again yesterday, the key is your hand.
Rise up with me and begin to name your door; door, open for me, I want the door of my joy to open, the door of my glory to open, the door of my revelation to open, the door of my anointing to open.
Pray for about 1 and 1/2 minutes, I don’t know your own door, I know my door, Lord, open my door, let the door of testimony, the door of my marriage, the door of my conception, the door of my lifting, the door of my enlargement, the door of my spirituality, the door of the gift of the Holy Spirit, the door of connection, open my door, Lord. I want my door to be open. I want my door to be open, thank You, Jesus, thank You, our Father, in Jesus mighty name we prayed.
I want to beg everyone here today, like I said, I asked the Lord before I came in, what do You want me to say? Just go, encourage my people so that they can use the instrument I’ve delivered to them, but if you are here, you are not born again or you are born again, there is a legitimate reason why you just let go or you throw in the towel, you let go your guard, you want to say pastor pray with me, wherever you are, as our head bow, eyes closed…
[Altar call]
It’s your turn and it’s your time, the key must be delivered to you. Thank You heavenly Father and blessed be Your holy name, we worship You maker of heaven and earth, in Jesus mighty name we prayed.
Father in heaven, loving, dependable, reliable God, these are men and women who have determined to receive the keys that open all doors, whereas today, whatever little foxes that destroy their vine, You will forgive them in the name of Jesus. Let their name go back into the book of God in the name of Jesus.
What has overcome them, let them become master; what has been pestering their lives, let them become master. As they have come out, let their victory be outstanding. Please, the power to serve You till the end, give unto them. Everyone saying amen, iniquity will not be found in your tent; (everyone put your hand on your chest), I lift up my hand on this altar, young or old, male or female, high, middle, and low, that key that open doors, that key that makes life enjoyable, that key that makes life stressless, release Your own in the name of Jesus Christ.
Whatever God has not planted in your life, in your destiny, in your businesses, in your family, that exist there, we command by the key of Jesus, let those things be rooted out in your life in Jesus name. Every embargo and all embargos on your move, let them move away in the name of Jesus Christ. Enjoy the freedom of God, enjoy the mercy of God, enjoy the success of God.
In this house it will be glory and joy forever. And everyone in this house, young, old, male, female, everyone, including our children in their church, the Lord of heaven will uphold them, good news all the time, so shall it be. Everywhere you go, as you approach the door, that door will be open unto you, helpers of destiny will locate you, and it shall be well with you.
You will fulfill your purpose on the earth, we will finish well, we will finish strong, so shall it be, in Jesus mighty name we prayed.
Man of God, woman of God, thank you again; for all my leader, thank you again. How many Hallelujah do you know here? Me, I know 37 – hallelujah amazing, hallelujah [incoherent], hallelujah locomotive, hallelujah enlarger, hallelujah victoria. Which one do you know? Okay, my favorite is Hallelujah amazing, it has three rules, if you shout before shout, that is foul.
Listen to the rule, the first rule is the first to shout will receive first blessing, the louder you shout you receive the biggest blessing, the longer you draw it you receive generational blessing. Let somebody shout hallelujah!
