READ: Revelation 3:20-22
20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

James 4:7 says clearly that you should submit yourself unto God, then resist the devil, and he will flee from you. The devil cannot flee from you if you have not submitted totally to God.
If you are not yet born again, Jesus Christ, the Light, wants to come into your life. He wants to give you a brand-new beginning, but He will not force Himself into your heart unless you open the door to Him voluntarily.
He said in today’s Bible reading that He is knocking on the door of your heart, and if you open up to Him, He will come in. If He keeps knocking on a person’s heart and the person keeps refusing to open, a day will come when it will be too late for the person to open his or her heart to Him again.
On that day, the person’s heart will stop beating, and if Jesus is not already in it by then, no matter how much the person pleads, such a person will find himself or herself in hell, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is why I am appealing to you to open up your heart to Him now if you haven’t done so yet.
Many people claim to have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, but they haven’t truly submitted to Him as certain aspects of their lives are still ordered by their flesh.
Many of such people go to church, while some are even church workers and ministers, but they are really not different from people in the world. When a person truly submits to the Lordship of Jesus, He becomes the supreme authority over such a fellow’s life. Whatever He says is what the fellow must do.
Jesus is the Light, and He is the only one who can drive darkness out of a person’s life. Darkness is sure to reign supreme in the lives of those who haven’t opened up their hearts to Jesus, even if they claim to be Christians.
When darkness reigns in a person’s life, failure, defeat, sorrow, retrogression, and every evil thing will fill such a fellow’s life. Can you truly say that Jesus, the Light, is in total control of your life?
Beloved, if you are yet to truly submit to Jesus Christ, He is knocking at the door of your heart.
Open your heart to Him today, and He will give you a glorious hope for the future (1 Peter 1:3-5).
REFLECTION:
Have you truly opened up to Jesus Christ, and is He in total control of your life?
