THE LAMP DEVOTION
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24
OPEN DOOR NO ONE CAN SHUT
Revelation 3:7-9
The church in Philadelphia receives commendation from God for their good works. They kept God’s word and did not deny God’s name. The bible does not give all the details, but simply acknowledges that the church kept God’s word and upheld the name of Jesus. What can be implied here is that they had the opportunity to deny Jesus by their acts, but in whatever confronted them, they upheld the name of Jesus above all.
Now see what God promises them. God has opened a door unto them and says no man can shut. It is a promise of elevation of the church. If those of the synagogue of Satan will come to bow before the church of Philadelphia, it simply means that God will magnify the church before all, that they will become the hope of their generation.
When God makes His boast about an individual or a group, it means He is very pleased with them. That is why He will create a great opportunity for them to prosper. That is why He makes their enemies come to bow before them. God is not ashamed to let everyone know that they bear His name.
Prayer
1. Thank God for Hs promise to elevate you above the issues of your time.
2. Pray that you will continue to uphold God’s word and the name of Jesus above all.
3. Father, please create in me a heart that reveres and honors You always.
Declarations
I declare that God my Father is a good God. He is God of my breakthrough. I will uphold His word above all else. The name of Jesus will continually be in my mouth. His praises will continually be in my mouth, and on His Spirit, I will focus the rest of my life. Halleluiah!

Revelation 3:7-9
7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
