Today’s passage continues with the divisions of the gatekeepers. Every house, office, street, city, etc has a gate. When you are entering a town, there is usually a port of entrance and that is the city gate. The sea port and airports are gates to the nation. In most cases, every physical gate is manned by a power who allows or denies access. The gate is therefore very strategic and important in order to gain entrance into a space to achieve a purpose. In the ancient times, nations do not joke with their city gates. Battles are won and lost at the city gates. The city gates are usually heavily fortified. Once an enemy is able to overcome the gatemen at the city gate, the inhabitants of the city surrender to the invaders.In our world today, Satan has positioned demons to guard gates to prevent Christians from coming in to possess their possessions, and unless you are able to overcome these evil gatemen, you may not be able to receive your blessings. Since it is the spiritual that controls the physical, if you are not able to enter a place through the spiritual gate, you may not receive your blessings in that place. God expects us to take the battles to the gates (Isaiah 28:6). There are spiritual gates to the destiny of where you are living and working. Though you cannot see these gates, you need to pray in faith and overcome these gates.
