“Welcome to breakthroughs’’

What is a breakthrough?I’ve given the example before that will clearly illustrate it.

I said, when a man is digging a well for water.

He keeps on digging and digging, sweating, covered with all kinds of dirt and then suddenly with one final blow, he will say he has had a breakthrough.

From that moment forward ha has water to wash himself, so that all the dirt around his body will be forgotten.

He has water to drink so all the sweating and all the thirsting will be forgotten and now all he needs to do anytime he needs water is just go and draw.

Somebody’s going to have a breakthrough here tonight!

(Amen!)

Two type of miracle happened : the Lame work and miracle that has never happen before happen in the life of Peter.

Now what will a breakthrough do to you:

1.from crawling to leaping

2.from begging to singing

3.from grumbling to praising God.

4. from sweating to jubilating

5. from humiliation to becoming a living testimony

6.from the depths of sorrow to the height of joy

Why did this man have to wait 40 years before his breakthrough came?

Several reasons.

I will just share a few.

Number one – he has become conditioned to sitting in one spot.

He has accepted that he must sit down in one spot.

Because of the yoke in his life, he has become conditioned to sitting on one spot.

How do i know people like that , the way they react when is time for prayer .story of elephant and tread .

There are many of you that the devil has tied a rope round your neck but tonight as God lives – before whom I stand – that rope is going to be cut in Jesus’ Name! (Amen!)

Because The Bible says, the anointing will destroy the yoke.

Number Two– why the breakthrough of this man took so long is that he had accepted survival instead of revival.

“Just let me get enough food to eat! Let somebody give me some coins so that at the end of the day I will have something to eat.” Somehow he didn’t realize anymore that Jesus Christ said, I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly.’

Some of us have settled down for survival!

“Just let me be able to manage to pay my rent.

Once a year when they give me my Xmas bonus I’ll be able to buy one little dress for my child.

God just bless my neighbours so his car will not break down, so he will continue to give me lift to the Holy Ghost Service” That is not the plan of God for your life!

And I want you to say with your own mouth – I refuse anything less than the best.”

This man had just accepted survival – just manage to survive: “How are you?

We are managing…”

Number three – this man must have concluded, as many of us have concluded, that there are certain things God can do and there are certain things He cannot do.

I mean, for example, this man must believe, he must believe that God could grant him favour of the people who are going in to the temple to give him money.

I am sure, if he prayed at all, his prayers would be, “God, today, let me get plenty of alms.”

He never bothered to pray about walking!

When he saw Peter and John passing by he only asked for what?

Alms!.

Now when the day of the breakthrough for this man came, you know he nearly lost it!

He nearly lost it because he will not obey a very simple instruction.

All the man of God said to him was, “Rise up and walk.

I thought they said those who are down need fear no fall?

I would rather try and fail than not try at all!

The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead!

Everyone that the Lord Jesus Christ healed, He told them to do something.

Everyone who got a breakthrough from God, God said do something first.

And what he asked them to do is something that does not make sense but they did it and then God came in.

Obedient and acting in Faith:

1.He said to the man who was born blind in after He anointed his eyes with mud, He said, Go and wash!

This man couldn’t see!

How was he going to find his way to the pool of Siloam?

He got there and washed and he came back seeing!

2.In four boys brought a man to Him.

A man who was paralyzed from neck downwards and God said unto him, rise up, take your bed and walk!

This man, if he could walk, will he be carried?

But the man obeyed.

In the process of trying to obey the power of God came.

3.

In God said to Peter, Launch out into the deep!

Throw your nets to the right!

Peter told him.

“What You are saying does not make sense but because You have said it I will do it.

He did it and he had a breakthrough.

Somebody will have a breakthrough here tonight.

(Amen!)

share personal tesitmony of you student that respond to prophetic instruction and get a job.

What can hinder your breakthrough?

If you know what can hinder your breakthrough you can get rid of the hindrance.

1. Submission to fate.

If you say alright, I’ve submitted to my fate” That can hinder your breakthrough.

In when Jesus met a man who had been sick for 38 years and said “Will you be made whole?” the man said, “I’ve settled down.

No help anymore.

Today help will come to you.

(Amen!)

2. is when you tolerate anything that is less than the best.

When you read about the Shunamite woman – oh, she was a wealthy woman – in fact the Bible called her a ‘great’ woman.

And they said, “What do you want?”

She said, “Nothing.

I don’t need anything anymore.”

A barren woman saying, “I need nothing?”

She said, “I have settled down.

It’s OK.

No, it’s not ok until God had given you the best.

And somebody here is going to get the best from God tonight.

(Amen!)

Another thing that could hinder your breakthrough is limited faith.

Don’t limit the Holy One of Israel.

Whenever we talk about God performing a miracles many of us begin to think, “How will He do it?”

That’s not your headache.

That’s not your business.

All that He’s asking you is, ‘only believe.’

When my children com e to me and they ask for their school fees, they don’t ask me how much is your salary?”

They don’t want to know – that’s not heir own headache, that’s no their business.

Their own business is – I have a father, that father is supposed to pay my school fees; the time to pay the school fees has come - Daddy here’s the bill!”
