19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be[a] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[b] loosed in heaven.” (Matthew 16: 19)
Imagine any problem you have to be a huge, locked door standing in front of you. Now see yourself taking a golden key out of your pocket. You brought they key here with you when you arrived on this planet, but you sometimes forget to use it. See yourself putting it into the keyhole, then watch the door swing open….”The writer’s description of the power of a key demonstrates the timeless, universality and indispensable usefulness of keys in human society.
Within the context of the Scripture, Keys are symbols of authority and an opportunity to open any closed entrance (spiritual and physical) by a believer. When you become a member of Gods kingdom through salvation from Christ, you have access to this key, Revelations calls it the keys of David, which you either use to bind or loose. The emphatic promise of Christ to his disciples in verse 19 of this passage confirms our authority and the status that we occupy in his Kingdom.
Beyond Peter and the early disciples who benefitted from the unlimited access to Kingdom resources, believers today have the same authority of Christ to bind and loose.
What are you seeking from God today? What are the things challenging you, your identity or authority and watch doors of blessings, victory, perfect health and other miracles open before you!
Remember that everyone can enjoy the same revelation about Christ, enter into same relationship with God and begin to enjoy the authority of the Kingdom. The key is available for you today for our use as long as we maintain that relationship with Christ and live in constant obedience to the word of God.
He who has the key enjoys unlimited access to kingdom resources and power.
