THE KEYS

What are these keys of the kingdom of Heaven?

They are the only the factors, elements or tools that heaven responds to when applied here on earth.

They are 7 keys in number in this subject matter.

These 7 keys are the secrets to how to function and enjoy the wealth of blessings and riches of heaven down here on earth.

These are functional rules or guiding principles to receive from the treasures of heaven.

These are the keys that when apply they invoke heaven’s power to enforce the kingdom of God into action for manifestation of its good purpose for humanity.

In order word, from the earth you can tap into the treasure funds or treasure house in heaven, by applying these 7 keys.

These keys are input devises or applicable tools that create access to or that opens the heaven’s door for you to gain access into what you desire from heaven.

Note that Jesus said, “I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven. “(Bible in Basic English)

He meant, in paraphrase, “I will give you that gains you access to all the power, authority, glory, treasures, wealth, immunity and deep secrets of heaven, and by application of these to  the kingdom of Heaven, whatever is fixed , stopped, allowed, command, destroy and uproot by you on this earth the same shall be done heaven, because these are the keys that dictates what heaven will do in your behalf and for you”

Heaven only responds to these keys, it is the application of these keys that enforce the kingdom of God  in your family, life, marriage, business, ministry, academic, health, environment, society and in your church.

Remember, keys are meant to lock and unlock doors.

Heaven has so many countless doors concerning your needs, needs of your family, ministry, people around you, your society etc

They are heaven’s treasure door, healing door, sound health door, Deliverance door, Academic Excellent door, door of fruitfulness, prosperity, success etc.

In heaven there stores for everything type of healing and breakthroughs that are needed

These 7 keys are the elements or factor s that opens them and grant access to the wealth that lies in them, which you need

In the same way, there are so many doors in the kingdom of darkness out of which Satan and his host wage war to inflict oppression on humanity.

They are doors of barrenness, infirmity, frustration, failure, stagnation, manipulations etc

What happens is that, as soon as you apply these keys, when heaven opens its blessed doors it shuts the cursed doors for each of the case cases for which heaven’s door is opened.

When heaven opens fruitfulness it shuts bareness, and when it opens prosperity it shuts poverty in your life.

THE 7 KEYS

In this part, I will mention only 2 keys, in subsequent parts I will mention the rest.

KEY 1:  WORD BASE PERSONAL REVELATION:  Do you recall it was peter’s personal Revelation that led to the introduction of these keys.

In verse 13-18 of that Matthew chapter 16 Jesus asked his disciples of the public and general of his identity, and they said so many things, but when he asked them of their own personal revelation of him, they could not answer, because they could answer they had no personal Revelation of the one they have been following, except peter who declared out of his personal conviction that he was the Christ, the son of the Living God.

Hear what Jesus said in verse 17 according to Bible in Basic English, “And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven”

Peter’s Knowledge of Christ was by revelation that came to him, personally from God.

And up on that personal revelation Jesus in verse 18, said, “I will build my church”

Remember I said, that you are the church, and he meant upon this Revelation you should be founded and rooted.

What this simply means is that this becomes a force or a factor to receive from heaven.

You must have a personal revelation of God base on personal Revelation of his word.

This is why Jesus said in john 8:32 “you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”

The truth is what God says and the agenda of God outlined in his word.

Your personal knowledge of this truth and the application of it is what will make you free.

Listen, by what Jesus did on the cross you are indeed set free, but your knowledge of the truth of what he has done and your application of the same via your confession and acting on it is what places you physically on that state of freedom.

It comes by word base personal Revelation, if y our knowledge is not base on the Revelation of his word, heaven will not respect your command.

When you speak and act base on that word base personal Revelation heaven will respond to your demand, decree, action and desire.

KEY 2: POWER: gospel of the kingdom of God must be backed up with power.

Power is most necessary in preaching of the kingdom of God.

WITNESS IS NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT DEMONSTRATION OF POWER.

For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 THESSALONIANS 1:5

The Apostles preached with power so you to must do the same.

Power is what enforce and manifest on the people agenda of GOD   in people’s lives, health, business, marriage etc.

What Is power? Power is a dynamic force or ability to create changes in people’s lives, situations, health, etc

Power in action proves the might, force, word and love of God toward the people, because it brings the needed change.

“And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” Matthew 16:20

Heaven responds to your demonstration of power, because it seeks so much for one who can prove the authenticity and reality of its power here on earth.

If you have the Holy Spirit in your life, you are then loaded with so much power beyond your comprehension.

The power is meant to be demonstrated, that is why you have it. Apply it and heaven will respond to your application of it, because it responds to the power of God’s throne.find my books @ http://www.payhip.com/dagostore

PART 1

“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 16:18-19 (King James Version)

“And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.

I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever is fixed by you on earth will be fixed in heaven: and whatever you make free on earth will be made free in heaven” (Basic Bible in English)

When I started my work with in 1991 with some of my friends, we mostly use this scripture in conducting deliverance, because we started with deliverance prayers and meetings.

After so many years, I understood now the maximum potentials loaded in that scripture for us.

This scripture is only effective mostly when you understand its rich Revelation and then apply its understanding.

First, lets us note that of keys of the kingdom of heaven.

The plural term applied suggests many keys, and these keys are the elements that command the attention of this kingdom, and the kingdom response immediately to them.

I deem it fit we understand first what Christ meant by the kingdom of Heaven that is so subject to the application of these keys.

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

What is the kingdom of heaven?

We hear of the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Heaven.

Are they the same?

Why didn’t Jesus say, the kingdom of God?

Why saying, the kingdom of heaven?

What is the kingdom of heaven?

The kingdom of heaven is not the same as the kingdom of God.

I may or may not dwell much in that now, but I want you know that, the two are not the same.

In addition, because they are not the same that was why Jesus specifically mentioned the kingdom of Heaven.

You need to know this, so that you understand why he had to apply the term keys in that phrase.

The kingdom of heaven is a reference to the heavenly realm and country where God’s throne is.

It is the supreme state and government from where he rules and reigns over all.

The kingdom of heaven also refers to his heavenly pattern of his government administration, his kingdom authority, forces (Military etc) and power, heavenly throne and its supremacy, rights and power, wealth, treasures and resources of heaven.

This kingdom is in the 3^rd heaven, where God sits on his glorious majestic throne as king of kings and LORD of lords.

However, the kingdom of God is here with us and in us, and physically we are symbols of that kingdom.

What does that mean?

The kingdom of God is the man and his mission to establish the purpose and agenda of the heavenly kingdom for humankind which heaven mandates him to accomplish here on earth.

It is the heavenly program committed to man and the very man who is the vessel and the carrier of such heaven’s beautiful and glorious vision for humanity.

In Luke 17:20-21 Jesus said  to the Pharisees, “And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you”

When the Pharisees talked about the kingdom of God, they had in mind a political state and an independent government free from the Roman state and Empire, which they can watch, feel and have a physical contact with, but that is not what the kingdom of God is all about.

It is a heavenly program (meaning spiritual agenda and not physical, but when executed in its outcome it becomes physical) and the vessel to actualize it.

Finally, Jesus said to them, “For the kingdom of God is among you”

He was the kingdom of God while on earth to accomplish the heavenly program of saving humankind from sin and destruction. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy: I have come that they may have Life, and may have it in abundance.

I am the Good Shepherd. A good shepherd lays down his very life for the sheep”

John 10:10-11

What kind of life was he talking about?

The Heavenly life is what he was talking about. He laid down his earthly life, that we might rise with him to possess the heavenly life.

When John 3:16 said, “that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life”

It was referring to that life. King James calls it Everlasting Life meaning Eternal Life while Weymouth New Testament translation calls it Life of the Ages.

Whichever, they both refer to the same Eternal life, which in Greek word is Zoe.

Zoe is Greek for this kind of life, which means God’s own kind of life.

The life of God is the life of heaven, which is the very life everyone in heaven enjoys.

It is a life free of sin, sickness, depression, above disease, immune to death and sorrow; it is an indestructible life and a perfect life full of endless peace and joy, life divine health and endless prosperity.

“And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away”

Revelation 21:3-4

That is the life heaven offered and still offers to the world through Jesus, so that whoever receives him would have this life and enjoy heaven and its life here on earth.

That life is in Christ Jesus and while on earth, he was this very life.

“As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” John 17:2-3

“(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us ;)” 1 john 1:2

In Luke 10:9 the scripture says, “And(Jesus) heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you”

Understand this, the word nigh here does not imply he as near or closer, but what it implies within or among.

Hence he was saying, the kingdom of God is with you, and the evidence of the presence of the kingdom with them is the execution of the mandate and agenda of the kingdom which is, raising the dead, healing the sick, casting out demons from people and preaching  about the kingdom of heaven and the benefits of the kingdom of God, of course which is proven here.

The miracles of Jesus were the Agenda of heaven for humankind. So that by accepting Jesus and his word of life they would receive the life.

It is the every purpose of God for humanity prepared in Christ before the foundation of the world.

When you listened to the parables of Jesus with which he likened and tried to explain what the kingdom of God is, you will understand  that it all points to God’s purpose, will and agenda for humanity through Jesus Christ.

An example is in MARK 4:30-31 WHERE IN HE LIKENED THE KINGDOM OF GOD to a mustard seed.

Here in this parable, the grain of mustard seed is the Church of Jesus, which shall emerge after the Ministry of Christ, representing him, as the Ambassador of Christ to the world, as the carrier of the Kingdom of God

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” 2 Corinthians 5:20

Note he says, “When it is sown in the earth” referring to certain and time of birth into the earth by the resurrection of Christ. It shall be insignificant at the beginning among all other institutions on the earth.

But when it is birthed “it groweth” it shall start to expand until it becomes an empire that shields any who believes in its mission and protect those who take refuge under its shield.

The church is yet to come to this point.

Something must have caused such growth., yes, it is none else but the mighty presence of the Holy Spirit.

THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE CHURCH

The church is the body of Christ, and the body of Christ is every child of God.

Hence, you carry Christ in you, and then you are a carrier of the kingdom of God, on a diplomatic mission with all the heaven’s diplomatic authority and immunity behind you to preach the kingdom to the world.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” Mark 16:15, 17-18

The entrance of the Holy Spirit empowered the church and placed us on the divine platform of the divinity and trinity to represent Christ here on earth and to represent everything he represented here on earth.

Understand this; the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God himself that makes him God.

Now Jesus depended on the Holy Spirit to be able to fulfill his mandate.

He did nothing until the Spirit came upon him with power in Matthew chapter 3:16

“.And Jesus, having been given baptism, straight away went up from the water; and, the heavens opening, he saw the Spirit of God coming down on him as a dove” (Bible in Basic English)

Most of the places you read Jesus talked about his father working so would he work, and doing whatever he sees his father doing.

The person he referred to as father was the person of the Holy Spirit who was working with him and through him.

When he was filled with the Holy Spirit, he only became the Holy Spirit’s vessel to accomplish heaven’s mandate on earth.

“To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation” 2 Corinthians 5:19

The Holy SPIRIT is the Spirit of the life and the fullness of heaven itself.

He became full of heaven’s power according to Mathew chapter 3, the authority of the throne of heaven was behind him, and the resources of heaven was at his disposal, because heaven itself took complete possession of the man Christ Jesus, to accomplish divine agendas.

At the upper room in Acts chapter 2:1-7 the Holy Spirit with all the fullness of heaven came upon the church to continue the ministry of heaven from where Jesus stopped.

In  Chapter 3: 1-12 the  church started fulfilling the agenda of the kingdom, right at the beautiful gate via the healing of the lame man at the beautiful gate.

That same Spirit is in you, working in you and working through. “But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death” Romans 8:11 (Bible in Basic English)

Having understood what the kingdom of God is, and what was it Jesus meant by the kingdom of Heaven that is so subject to the keys, that it response to the application of them here on earth.

Finally, the keys are of heaven, they are the only elements that when applied here on earth heaven swims into action on your behalf.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday warned that the protesting members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, otherwise known as Shi’ites, were testing the patience of the Federal Government with their violent protests in Abuja.

He said the FG  might be forced to act with maximum force to defend the interest of the majority of Nigerians.

Reacting to the killing of  Deputy Commissioner of Police  Usman Umar and  National Youth Service Corps member, Precious Owolabi, during Monday’s protest by the sect, Buhari called on any group carrying out violent protests to stop now, else the government would take decisive actions against them.

“Let nobody or group doubt or test our will to act in the higher interest of the majority of our citizens,” a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, quoted Buhari as saying on Tuesday.

The President said he was deeply touched by the death of Umar and Owolabi as he condoled with their families and the management of Channels TV, where the corps member was attached to.

He described the two as “law-abiding, hard-working and vibrant Nigerians with a promising future.”

Shi’ites continue protest in  Abuja

Meanwhile, Police launched tear gas canisters and fired gunshots to disperse members of the IMN who filled the streets of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on Tuesday in continuation of their protest against the continued detention of their leader, Ibraheem El-Zakzaky.

 El-Zakzaky has been detained by the Federal Government since December 2015.

The IMN, popularly known as Shi’ites,  on Monday, began their protest to press home their demand.

But the protest turned violent, leading to the death of Umar and Owolabi who was reporting for Channels TV. Two  Shi’ites were allegedly killed while two Assistant  Superintendent of Police and others got injured.

However, the IMN claimed  11 of their members were killed by security forces with 30 injured.

However, Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba,   who said they arrested 54 protesters, claimed the Shi’ites shot dead Umar.

Tuesday’s protest by the sect, which started from Banex Plaza in the Wuse 2 area of the FCT, again halted economic activities in the capital as many residents scampered to safety to avoid being caught in the crossfire between security forces and the protesters.

Police arrest 12  protesters

The FCT Police Command said it had arrested 12 Shi’ites who were on the rampage in the Banex area of Abuja on Tuesday.

Spokesman for the command,  Anjuguri Manzah, said in a statement they acted professionally by using minimum force to restore calm to the  FCT.

He said, “The police moved swiftly to the scene and arrested 12 members of the sect. The suspects were arrested while attacking innocent people, blocking roads and disrupting activities in the Banex area.”

‘Why  Channels TV corper died’

The NYSC on Tuesday mourned Owolabi’s death.

The NYSC Director-General, Brig-Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, led other officials to the National Hospital, Garki, on Tuesday morning to retrieve  Owolabi’s corpse which was later conveyed to his parents in Zaria, Kaduna State, via an ambulance.

The NYSC said this in a statement on its Facebook page.

 The statement said, “Until his death Owolabi, a graduate of Performing Arts from the University of Ilorin, was a serving corps member with Channels TV.”

Spokesman for the National Hospital, Dr Tayo Haastrup, confirmed to one of our correspondents on the telephone that Owolabi’s body had been removed from the hospital by the NYSC.

An eyewitness, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Owolabi would  not have died if a surgeon had quickly attended to him at Garki Hospital where he was initially rushed to.

The source said, “When the incident happened, the first point of call was the staff hospital because we were thinking he only suffered bruises. But were told to take him to the nearest hospital.

“When we got to  Garki Hospital, he (Owolabi) was still walking. The hospital said the surgeon that should do the operation to remove the bullet was not around. They tried his line and could not reach him. Eventually, when they did, he said he was far from the hospital and he is the only surgeon there.

“We took him to the National Hospital, but it was too late as he had suffered much internal bleeding. He   was  from Oyo State.”

However,  Garki Hospital Clinical Director, Dr Aker Ityo, said the hospital did not abandon the deceased as alleged.

Ityo said, “He was brought in with gunshot wounds in the abdomen. He was already in shock. We gave him two units of blood and other appropriate treatments. We helped him to maintain his breathing and we put him in our ambulance with our officials to the National Hospital.

“Our surgeon was carrying out another operation on another patient and they were already in the theatre. If the surgeon was busy, do you now wait until he comes out or do you refer him to another place where he can get the same treatment? So the standard thing is to get him out fast to where he can get another surgery which was what we did.”

Apart from Owolabi, another corps member, a journalist serving with  Leadership, Suleiman Aliu,  who was hit by a stray bullet on Monday, had been receiving treatment at the National Trauma Centre, National Hospital, Abuja, on Tuesday.

One of our correspondents, who was at the hospital on Tuesday, could not speak with him.

Spokesman for the hospital, Tayo Haastrup said,   “He is one of the three injured persons brought for emergency treatment because of the injuries they sustained during the crisis on Monday. He will be examined at the  laboratory today (Tuesday) as part of his treatment.”

Umar buried

Umar was buried on Monday evening after a prayer at the National Mosque, Abuja.

The DCP, described as a kind man, was pacifying the Shi’ite protesters when he was felled by a bullet. He died before he could be taken to hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, police have tightened security around the  Federal Secretariat, Eagle Square and other public facilities in Abuja apparently to protect them from being destroyed by the Shi’ite protesters, who reportedly burnt an ambulance and fire truck belonging to the National Emergency Management Agency on Monday.

 Police killed DCP, reporter to stigmatise us – Shi’ites

But the Shi’ites insisted on Tuesday they didn’t kill DCP  Usman Umar and the Channels TV reporter, Precious Owolabi.

In a statement by its  spokesman, Ibrahim Musa, the IMN  said the deceased  might have  been “a victim of friendly fire.”

Musa, who said the police lied against them to tarnish their image, insisted the force killed Umar and Owolabi.

He said,  “The security agencies strategically killed the journalist to turn the media against us.

“They also killed the police officer to incite the security community against us and to stigmatise us.

 “It is a known fact among the intelligence community that you don’t retreat from a mob with your back turned against them. This is one of the tenets of crowd control for law enforcement agencies. As if to hide this fact, the policeman (Umar) was hurriedly buried without any form of post-mortem examination, which would have revealed the source of the bullet.

“They are the ones with guns and they are the ones doing the shootings and also doing the killing, then fraudulently lied to Nigerians that their victims are the violent ones.

“They are working hard to portray the IMN as a terrorist organisation; that is why they have started killing people in our name including our supporters. We decry such shameless play with people’s lives with reckless abandon.”

NUAT mourns casualties

A civil rights organisation, Nigerians Unite Against Terror, on Tuesday, expressed concern over the casualties recorded during the clash between the Shit’tes and security agencies.

The NUAT, in a statement by its convener, Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin, called on the Federal Government to release the IMN leader.

My comment on this is just simple: firstly the president has not spoken democratically.

spoke as a military in a Democratic regalia. when he said, ‘ do not test our will” my focus is on the term will. because by that term he makes a reference to having the same mind and determination and power to act in retaliation with the same force or pattern the shi’ite are using, which is violence. “Do not dare our determination and power to crush you” because we can be as violent as you are.

that is what i understand those words to imply.

However, those are the wrongs speech for such a time as this, because those words breed war.

Must we always apply force to deal with ideology.?

Must we always act like Rambo shooting on groups at a will only to crush or intimidate and quench their resolution them?

isn’t there something call Wisdom application in the dictionary of the presidency?

in my book wisdom the principal thing book 3 i stated the reason solomon enjoyed through out his reign, although he was surrounded by ancient enemies.

The secret to such rest was his wisdom application.

The other nations around were faced with difficulties, and when they heard of his wisdom. How he would solve hard cases with unusual wisdom they sent delegates to him with gifts.

He would solve all their problems with ease. by so doing these nations paid him tribute yearly, they became loyal and submissive to him and dare not make war with him, because the secrets of their wealth and success were in the palms of Solomon.

By wisdom Solomon gained the love, loyal and trust of Israel and that of the other nations. By wisdom he had dominion over them.

By the lack of the same wisdom, his son Rehoboam lost everything his father achieved through wisdom.

Solomon was not famous for his wealth, but for his wisdom.

This presidency can be likewise if they will make wisdom the primary thing in their handling of this matter.

“And Solomon was ruler over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the edge of Egypt; men gave him offerings and were his servants all the days of his life” 1 kings 4:21

i will stop here. i await to hear your own view and comment.

Constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit is necessary for every Christian.

You cannot be a Christian and not have a constant fellowship with him.

The day you estrange yourself from that fellowship is the day you begin to die spiritually, because the Holy Spirit is the life of a Christian.

 When a man is separated from life then he will drop dead. How much more, when a man is separated from the source of his life.

When GOD was about creating the fishes he spoke to the waters, and fishes came from the waters, which is why, if you separate a fish from the water it will die within seconds.

The water is the life of the fish. When God wanted to create man, he spoke to himself, he said, ‘let us make man in our own image, and after our likeness,” Jesus said, ‘without me you can do nothing, and because I live they will live, even as I live, because of the Father”

John 6:57

 Hence, you cannot do without your source. Fellowship is a point you prove you are still connected to your source. Most of the problems we have are because of our lack of fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Whenever you are in tune with him, you find yourself operating in an unusual wisdom and favor, insight and grace. Whenever you discover yourself meeting disappointment then something is wrong, go back to fellowship with him! Your success depends on it. That is where secret things of life are revealed. That is where you are set ten steps ahead of your enemies through revelations and that is where keys to success are revealed.

Finally, the world celebrates the man that knows and has experienced the HOLY SPIRIT.

When was the last time you ever said, come Holy Spirit let us fellowship or God morning Holy Spirit?

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
