LEVELS OF BREAKTHROUGH: MUST READ

‘And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great…’ (Gen 26: 13)

When the Lord intervenes in your siege, he turns your captivity into a breakthrough. In Samaria, God turned acute shortage into excessive provision. There are different levels of breakthrough you can enjoy when the Lord is on you side. Ordinary breakthrough can be likened to a man who comes across water while digging a well, But the man who comes in contact with crude oil while digging his well, has a greater breakthrough, because he will have more than enough money to buy all the water he needs, and many more things.

INFORM YOUR PASTOR

Some Christians feel they should be the only ones to have a say in their marriage. They do not see any use for the rules relating to marriage that the church has laid down. But Scripture says all things should be done decently and in orderly fashion. God is not the author of confusion. His rules are there for the good of all concerned.

OUR ARMOUR: MUST READ

 ‘But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.’ (Rom 13:14)
As believers in Christ, we are chosen warriors. It is not strange, because our Father is the commander-in-chief of the heavenly army. 2 Timothy 2:3-4 says: ‘Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

SIN AND FEAR

 ‘And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.’ (Gen 3:10)

Has God anointed you? You ought not to be afraid because the One who anointed you will defend his anointing upon your life. If you are genuinely born again, you cannot be demon-possessed. How can the demon even enter you? He will be burnt because of the fire of God surrounding you. But if you break the hedge of holiness surrounding you, then the demons will have legal grounds to gain entrance.

DRUNK WITH WHAT?

 ‘Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.’ (Acts 8:17)

The human body has a tremendous vacuum, which can either be filled by God or by the devil. What you are filled with determines who you are, what comes out of your mouth, how you will behave, the degree of accomplishing your goals in life, whether your destiny will be achieved or not and where you will spend eternity. ‘And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit…’ (Eph 5:18).

ENEMIES OF THE CROSS:MUST READ

‘There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.’ (Prov 14:12)
It is good to begin the Christians race. But to start is not enough. To finish it is even more important. When we look around us, we have several examples of those who began well, but are ending up in bad shape.

FEAR OF MAN: MUST READ

 ‘The fear of man bringeth a snare but whose putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.’ (Prov. 29: 25)
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whose putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe’ (Prov. 29: 25). Some people are afraid of what their friends will say when they know that they have given their lives to Jesus. This is a bane to holy living. Are you among those who cannot stand up for Christ? When you go to church, do you make sure you take a small pocket Bible you can conveniently hide away from the glare of your friends, to avoid being mocked?
