Contending over the gates of your life

The gate in scriptures has four meaning:

1. Point of entrance
2. Points of exit - Psalm 24:8-9
3. Points of control - he who takes over the gates takes dominion
4. Represent points of authority, power and dominion

The worst things that can happen to an individual is to allow the enemy to take over the gate of your life

• The oil that you carry on your head represents glory
• Your head is the symbol of your destiny
• Therefore there is contention over your head by the enemy

2. The Eye Gate: Matthew 6:22-23|Job 31:1

• The eye represents camera’s lens, capturing images that shape our memories - these can be positive or negative
