Lift up your heads, All ye Gates

By Pastor Kemi Epidi 

Gates serve as entry points. Entry points to a house, city, palace, church, or a person’s life (breakthroughs and lifting). There are also gates in the spiritual realm. 

While God has gates He uses to release blessings and good things into our lives, the devil uses his own evil gates to pass or introduce sin, problems, afflictions and all manner of evil into people’s lives.

 We can deduce that David most likely wrote Psalm 24 when he was at the lowest point of his life. 

He had been anointed king over Israel but instead of taking the throne he became a servant in the palace. 

However, he knew that once the King of glory comes in, everything to do with shame in his life will disappear. Before he invited the King of glory, he addressed the things that had been restricting his lifting. 

Psalm 24:7 says lift up your heads, o ye gates; and be lift up, ye everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in. There are certain gates that need to be lifted for us to receive our lifting. 

They must be possessed, captured, lifted and destroyed before we can conquer and emerge victoriously. Jesus said, He would build the church that has power to break the gates of hell Matt 16:19. 

Every gate restricting our lifting, restricting the access of the King of glory in our lives be lifted. He has done that––and He will continue to do that, in Jesus mighty name. 

You will have good success this 2021. Remain blessed.  Shalom.
