THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL (Unlocking Divine Treasures)

 

Gates are entry points to a new realm. Before entering a locked room, you need the prescribed key to unlock the door. Failure to get the key hinders you from accessing the room's assets (blessings and treasures).

Under the old covenant, some people dedicated themselves to keeping the gates of the tabernacle. They had gatekeepers who protected the citizens and leaders from enemies. Today, some presidents, governors, ministers, and prominent people employ security guards to protect the family and neighbourhood from intruders.

Leaders act as gatekeepers in workplaces, schools, businesses, and organizations. That is, they act on behalf of the employees and families. In some countries, the president, ministers, and members of parliament act as the gatekeepers of the citizens.

Some leaders in specific countries, organizations, families, and businesses are so wicked to the extent that they block the glory of those beneath them. In some countries, people visit shrines and set up evil altars to destroy the blessings within the community.

Today, the government uses the military as gatekeepers. Some advanced countries use technology and the internet as gatekeepers. In a sense, gatekeepers use these tools to protect their citizens from danger (cybercrime and advanced attack).

It is said that before an assassin triggers a sniper at the president of the United States of America, the assassin would have been detected and killed by the American intelligence team. Some gatekeepers in specific countries are so sadistic and abnormal that they block the treasures coming into their lands.

 

Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

Isaiah 26:2 KJV

In the book of Isaiah, we see a profound Word. The Lord speaks through the prophet Isaiah that the gatekeepers of Judah should open their gates for the righteous people to enter their nations. Do you know that some corrupt politicians and leaders have limited honourable people from entering their lands to make their citizens prosperous?

Until the gatekeepers open the gate, the citizens lie in depression and darkness. Even in some countries, the gatekeepers have closed their borders because of the so-called pandemic. Some greedy and selfish gatekeepers only transact business, favouring their stomach and families.

These corrupt leaders ignore the freedom and prosperity of their citizens because of personal gains. Recently, I met an old friend on the roadside. This old friend of mine told me he desperately needs a job.

Looking at his demeanor, he meant his words, and he was ready to work, but no job was available. I asked whether he had a prayer request, and he told me he needed a job and long life. I assured him that he would get a job by God’s grace.

I remember a friend called me on the phone. He told me he had completed his national service. This university graduate told me he needed a job because he had a family (wife and a child). In our conversation on the phone, I told him to search for the problems in that area and solve those problems because money hides in problems.

He was in the northern region of Ghana, so I assured him that there were many problems in that region and town. If he solves those problems, people will satisfy his needs and wants. I know some of the mates I completed within the University who have no job.

Recently, I met one of my seniors at the University. He completed in 2016, so he was a year ahead of me in the University. He pursued a Bachelor of Science in Accounting. I asked him about his work, and he told me there was no job.

He cannot find a job; meanwhile, he has a university certificate recognized by the government. In his speech, I could see that he was depressed because of no job. Child of God, do not place all your faith in the gatekeepers (politicians and human leaders) because most of them are selfish.

Most of the educational systems are outdated. It will be advantageous if you discover your purpose or venture into entrepreneurship. Some people have become criminals in life because the gatekeepers are irresponsible.

Greediness has become the game of the day. If you do not apply wisdom, you will become a prisoner in the arena of these blind and selfish gatekeepers. This is an introduction to the physical gatekeepers.

In the spiritual realm, we have gatekeepers. Spiritual gatekeepers are of more value than the physical gatekeepers because the spiritual realm controls the earth realm (Meditate on Hebrews 11:3). In the book of Matthew, we see a profound revelation of gatekeepers.

 

When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew 16:13-19 KJV

Christ Jesus asked his disciples of his identity. Some believe that Christ Jesus was Elijah, Jeremiah, and one of the prophets. Peter, one of Christ Jesus’ close disciples, declared that He was the anointed Saviour of the world.

In his response, Christ Jesus declared that He would build his church through Peter, and the gates of hell shall not prevail through the leadership of Apostle Peter. Note that Christ Jesus is the foundation of the church on earth.

If Christ Jesus declared that the gates of hell should not prevail against the church, then we must understand that demonic gates exist on earth and in the spiritual realm. Many churches, businesses, countries, and organizations cannot grow because the gates of hell are limiting them.

Some people use evil powers to transact business because they understand the gates. The devil uses human beings and demons as his agents to stop the church and business from growing. I remember I had a dream and, in this dream, I saw a famous religious leader standing before a gate.

In the dream, the religious leader did not want me and some people within the room to get out (receiving our freedom and prosperity). When I woke up from bed, I felt the devil using some religious leaders to block the church's deliverance. My dream affirmed Christ Jesus' words.

 

…woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.

Matthew 23:13 KJV

Some religious leaders (gatekeepers) are full of pretense. They enslave their church members with false doctrines limiting them from accessing the power, fruits, and glory of the Holy Spirit. Christ Jesus declared that these religious unbelievers are actors.

They are not born again. These religious leaders use evil powers to mislead the church, businesses, and governmental bodies to miss the blessings enshrined in the Celestial city and assets invested on the earth.

Secondly, these blind and evil authorities intentionally prevent the innocent from entering the throne room of God. I have had several dreams and visions where some religious leaders limit their faithful followers.

I saw a religious leader use fear to dominate his followers in a vision. This religious leader looked like a chameleon in the spirit. Most of his faithful followers were suffering financially and emotionally in the vision.

I saw this religious leader with his wife enjoying the ministry whiles his followers suffered. In the vision, this religious leader and his wife did not care about the vulnerable people in the church.

They only care for themselves. In the vision, I saw that his leadership style was total dominance and fear. Most of his faithful followers around him were not born again, although they worked with their hearts in the ministry.

This gospel minister is from Ghana, and he has several branches. I had another vision about this minister where he was pronouncing bad words to his follower(s). This minister was abusing his son in the ministry and mocking the poor.

Although the Lord has shown me some good sides of this minister, the bad outweigh the good ones. Child of God, if you don’t apply wisdom, the gatekeepers will keep you in bondage in the name of service to God and the church.

I have had several visions about some ministers of God in Ghana, Nigeria, and the United States of America who earnestly desire total submission in the name of sonship. Some of them have good hearts; whiles others are racists.

You must realize that we have the body, spirit, and soul gates. Spiritual forces can enter through these channels: the eyes, sexual organs, mouth, nose, ears, and forehead (Meditate on 1 Corinthians 6:15-17).

Have you ever asked yourself how the Holy Spirit, demons, and evil spirits enter human bodies, spirits, souls, and animals? Spiritual forces can live in the body and soul of humankind for a lifetime until we cast them out.

Some people have evil eyes and a demonic presence. If you are not full of the Holy Spirit, they can dominate your soul and spirit. Their presence can even corrupt the atmosphere if you are weak in the Spirit.

This is one reason; you must be prayerful and sanctified for the master’s use. If Joseph were not a man that reverenced God, Potiphar’s evil eye would have dominated him and caged him in the pool of sexual immorality.

Do you know that the most prominent leaders in the world are prisoners of sexual immorality? If the Holy Spirit should open your eyes to see the spiritual state of the unbelievers who act as “stars and celebrates” on earth, you will cry and intercede for them.

Most famous secular musicians called stars on earth are slaves in the spiritual realm. I am sharing some of these visions with you because I don’t want you to envy the riches of the unbelievers. If the Lord should open your spiritual eyes to see the state of some political leaders, you will weep like a child and pray for their deliverance.

Extreme wickedness reigns in the political sphere. I know what I am writing to you because the Holy Spirit has revealed them to me in the realms of the Spirit. In Proverbs, King Solomon enumerates a powerful revelation about the evil eyes.

Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:

Proverbs 23:6 KJV

The wise man states that we should not eat the food of a vessel that has an evil eye. We should not desire their meats because it has some spiritual implications. Connecting with people who hate the things of God creates an avenue for the evil gates to operate in your life (Meditate on 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, 1 Corinthians 15:33).

Be led by the Spirit of God before engaging with unbelievers because the devil can use that channel to open an evil gate in your life. Do you know there are several gates in heaven, hell, the lake of fire, earth realm, human spirit, soul, and body?

God has opened gates of blessings for his children, and it is our responsibility to possess those gates. I will share with you how to possess the gates God has prepared for you so that you will walk in the blessings of God.

 

1. Engage in Spirit-led Fasting and Prayers

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights…

Matthew 4:1-2 KJV

Christ Jesus set an example for us to follow. I know fasting and prayers become burdensome when the Spirit of God does not lead us. One important truth you must acknowledge about fasting and prayers is that you do not struggle in the process when the Holy Spirit leads you.

Fasting and prayers become burdensome when you embark on it outside the will of God. Christ Jesus commanded us to fast and pray because it is one of the unbreakable weapons to unlock and possess our gates of blessings.

The devil will use demons, animals, and human beings to limit you in the spirit and on earth, and one of the best ways to break the defences of the enemy and enter your promised land is to fast and pray as the Holy Spirit leads.

If you find it challenging to fast and pray, start with fruits, water, or light food. You can begin with three hours fasting and prayers, then proceed to five hours, seven hours, ten hours, twelve hours, one day, three days as led by the Spirit of God.

Connect with Christian believers that love fasting and prayers because iron sharpens iron. Don’t force yourself into fasting and prayers if you are not led by the Spirit of God because there are some spiritual and physical implications.

 

2. The authority of God’s Word (Holy Bible)

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

Jeremiah 23:29 KJV

God’s Word has the power to change things in our lives and the spiritual realm (Meditate on Hebrews 4:12). Consistently feed on God’s Word so that your soul and spirit become one with the Word.

Believe the Word with all your heart. Start confessing, decreeing, declaring, and professing the Word of God with the Spirit of faith. The power within God’s Word will turn things around for your good.

The gates of hell will surrender when you constantly speak out the Word with authority. God has invested power in His Word and our tongue. Do not keep silent in the evil day because silence authorizes the enemy to hijack your blessings.

Pray more in the Spirit because tongues open the portal for the Holy Spirit to dominate in the Spiritual realm.  Follow these divine principles, and the gates of hell shall not prevail. Get my book, The Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail, for more profound revelations.
