““He stationed the gatekeepers of the house of the Lord, so that no one would enter who was in any way unclean.””
““Also the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon and their brethren who kept watch at the gates, were 172.””

Psalm 24:7-10 “7 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! 9 Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory!“
Gates control traffic as well as can influence what goes in and out of a home or place. In psalm 24:7, we see a reference of gates and ancient door; meaning they have been there for long. A command from heaven has been issued so that the King of glory may come in into the nation of Malawi, Ghana, US, Kenya, Cameroon etc. The enemy is always against the work of God and we must arise to pray all kinds of prayers.
Stand on the word of God and declare this word upon these gates.

Pray that God will grant all these ministers of the Gospel the grace for building his church; strong church leaders and devoted prayer warriors so that the church will grow and prosper.
Nehemiah 2:17 “Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in, how Jerusalem lies in ruins with its gates burned. Come, let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer suffer derision.”
Just as in the days of Nehemiah, pray that the ministers in Malawi will come together to rebuild the broken walls and to secure the gates and walls etc of the church.

Acts 12:10 “When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.”
God has not stopped performing miracles. Pray that this same God who opened the iron gate into the city for these apostles will arise even in this season of prayers and open every iron gate into the cities of Malawi and set the captives free.
Thank God that our prayers have been answered in Jesus might name.
