The Lord of Breakthroughs

Welcome to October 2012, the month of The Lord’s Breakthroughs.

The word breakthrough is defined as “an act of overcoming or penetrating an obstacle or restriction, a military offensive that penetrates an enemy's lines of defence, a major achievement or success that permits further progress”.

The Lord is the architect of breakthroughs in our lives. He is the one who overcomes for us, He is the one who penetrates obstacles and restrictions on our behalf. He is our commander in chief.

The Bible in the book of 2nd Samuel 5:17-20 tells us: "And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place. And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim. And David, desiring directions from the Lord, said, Am I to go up against the Philistines? will you give them up into my hands? And the Lord said, Go up, for I will certainly give up the Philistines into your hands. And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim." - 2 Sam 5:17-20 (BBE)

Life is full of its fair share of challenges and to penetrate and overcome those challenges, we need to call upon the Lord of breakthroughs in faith. So WOL family whatever the challenges are in your life call upon the Lord this month like David did and surely breakthrough will be yours like was David’s. "Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder. Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder." - Psalms 107:13-16 (KJV). In this Psalm we are told that the people called on the Lord and He broke through for them.

I say it again breakthroughs shall be yours this month in Jesus name. Believe the Lord your God and you will be established, believe His prophets and you will prosper.

You are blessed and highly favoured.
