Bible Reference: …a great and effective door has opened to me,…’ (1 Corinthians 16:9 NKJV)
Circumstances of life result in what has come to be called “open and closed doors.” Paul wrote to the Corinthians: But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. (I Corinthians 16:8-9)
Paul decided to stay at Ephesus because through circumstances arranged by God, there was a great opportunity for Christian service open to him. He called this an open door. On another occasion Paul records his desire to minister in certain areas, but the doors there were closed: Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they were come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. (Acts 16:6-7 NKJV)
A closed door does not mean you have missed God’s will. It does not mean it is not His will to do something. Paul later evangelized Asia. God is directing you by closing a door. He leads through closed as well as open doors. Sometimes a door is closed because it is not the right timing in the plan of God. Later, that same door may open to you.
It is important to know that God can close a door to tell you it’s time to move like He did with the prophet Elijah at the Brook Cherith (1 King 17). As a child of God, you are to be on the lookout for Open and Close doors because God can use them to direct your path.
