In verse revelation 3:7 we read “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.”
The Key of David
Every door has a key. He who holds the key has the authority to open and close that door. Imagine that all the doors you see and every door exists can be opened or shut by one key. What a valuable key it is. This key is called the Key of David.
In Isaiah 22: 22 the Bible say “I’ll place on his shoulder the key to the house of David—what he opens, no one will shut, and what he shuts, no one will open.”
What a key!!!
This key was often worn on the shoulder of those who possessed official authority and power. This key was carried by the one who has the authority and was hanging down from their garments. This key opened all the royal palace’s doors and closed all the valuable chambers and could not be opened except by the one holding the key. This Key is an emblem of the authority of Government. This Key governs all Doors. NO DOOR IS shut or opened except by this key.
Don’t you wish you have that key? Especially when you have occasions in your life where you are confronted with closed doors?
Listen in order to have that key you have to know how to use it. You have to know which door to open and which door to keep shut. BUT CAN WE KNOW THAT? NO….So who controls the doors of our lives? Who is responsible for opening and closing the doors of our lives?
Who holds that key?
