INTRODUCTION
Financial open doors refer to supernatural provisions, divine opportunities, and favour that result in financial prosperity. Many believers struggle financially, not because God wants them to suffer, but because they have not fully activated the principles of divine provision. God delights in blessing His children, and through faith and obedience, we can walk in financial abundance.
1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF ALL PROVISION
Everything we have comes from God.
a) God is the Ultimate Provider
The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord (Psalm 24:1).
b) He Supplies All Our Needs
God meets our needs according to His riches (Philippians 4:19).
c) He Gives Us Power to Create Wealth
Wealth is a divine enablement (Deuteronomy 8:18).
d) He Opens Doors No Man Can Shut
God creates opportunities that no one can close (Revelation 3:7).
e) Biblical Example:
God provided manna for the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 16:15).
2. PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL OPEN DOORS
God’s financial blessings follow divine principles.
a) The Principle of Tithing and Giving
Giving unlocks supernatural blessings (Malachi 3:10).
b) The Principle of Hard Work and Diligence
Hard work brings financial stability (Proverbs 10:4).
c) The Principle of Wisdom in Financial Management
The wise steward prospers (Proverbs 21:20).

When we prioritise God, financial blessings follow (Matthew 6:33).

3. BARRIERS TO FINANCIAL OPEN DOORS
Certain things hinder financial breakthrough.
a) Disobedience to God's Financial Principles
Ignoring biblical financial instructions leads to lack (Haggai 1:6-9).

Fear blocks blessings (2 Timothy 1:7).
c) Laziness and Lack of Planning
Those who refuse to work will suffer lack (Proverbs 6:9-11).

Poor stewardship leads to poverty (Luke 15:13-14).

5. DIVINE FAVOUR FOR FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGHS
God’s favour opens uncommon financial doors.
a) Favour Causes People to Bless You
God moves people to bless you (Exodus 12:36).

CONCLUSION
Financial open doors are a reality for those who understand and apply God's principles.
