Possess The Gates !

Reading: Mt 16:13-20

 

“Our sister, May you increase to thousands upon thousands;

may your offspring possess  the gates  of their enemies”  (Gen 24:60)

 

This  promise was first given to Abraham on Mt. Moriah, where he went to sacrifice Isaac  (Gen 22:17). Then it was given to Rebekah in Haran. Abraham was blessed with  only one son of promise. For the  above promise of production and  possession he needed to find Isaac the right partner. And here she comes with the same  prophetic pronouncement. From this union were  born  twins and  through Jacob  the  twelve  patriarchs. Today  God’s children are  thousands upon  thousands because Rebekah’s offspring possessed the  gates of their enemies.

 

When  Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came  against Jerusalem, Hezekiah gathered the  people  near the  city gate  and  encouraged them saying, “Be strong and courageous ... with  him  is an arm  of flesh;  but  with  us  is  the  Lord  our  God to  help  us  and  fight our battles” (2 Chr 32:6-8). The gates of hell could not prevail against the  gates of Jerusalem. What  strength these words  give  us,  who are  fighting to possess the  gates of our enemies!

 

Mordecai sat at  the king’s  gate  and  refused to bow  down  to Haman. The devil could not  prevail against Mordecai (Esth 6:13). The  iron gate  opened  to release Peter (Acts 12:10).  That’s all the strength of the  enemy  gate.

 

Jesus said,  “I will build  My church, and  the  gates  of hell shall not  prevail against it” (Mt 16:18).  It is a metaphor of offense, not defence. Each of us is building the church. The blessing pronounced on Rebekah holds  good for us too. We must increase to thousands upon  thousands.

 

Take courage and go where the Lord leads you. He, our Captain, goes before us. Never fear. Possess the gates of satan like Deborah. From Abraham to  Christ it  has  been  an  onward victory  march. There is no defeat for us.

 

Our God is a God who opens  in a way that no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open (Rev 3:7). “See,”  He says, “I have placed  before  you an open door that no one can shut.”

 

Go and  Possess! (Mic 2:13; Isa  45:2,3).
