“And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him”

In the above passage, Jesus saw two brothers trying to catch fish by the sea side and immediately recognized that they have a better destiny, so He instructed them to follow Him. This word of God to you today is this: Follow me and I will make you.

Do you know that you are not all you could be yet? Only the Lord knows who you are created to be and He wants to make you become who you are really created to be. That is why He said “I will make you”.

«Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! ’» (Matthew, 7:21-23).

Go for the best that God has in store for your life. Sometimes we slow down our breakthrough because we choose survival instead of coveting abundant life. Jesus has come that we may have life and life in abundance, instead of just having small drops of blessings. Let us look at the story of the lame man in the book of Acts of Apostles.

The bible declares that we can successfully resist Satan through the power of the Holy Spirit.

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and the Savior of our lives and submit to God, then we have access to the divine power that forces the devil to be on the run anytime we resist to him.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4: 7).

The bible has this to say about obedience: “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1: 19). Whether or not we will taste the blessings of the earth depends on our obedience.

Marry told the attendants at marriage feast in Cana of Galilee: “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it” (John 2: 5).

In order to experience a breakthrough, it is necessary to understand what it is and why we need it.

These are some explanations what is meant when we talk about breakthrough:

Breakthrough – it destroys any barriers (satanic or human) that put limitations in our lives.
Breakthrough – it changes your tragedies into testimonies.
Breakthrough – it turns your illnesses into wellbeing.
Breakthrough – it changes your disappointments into opportunities.
Breakthrough – it provides transition from hardships to comfort.

Breakthrough always changes a person’s status and position. Today, I want to draw your attention to the fact that in this story, not only the crippled man experienced a breakthrough but also Peter and John, the Apostles. Not only the cripples need a breakthrough. Every person needs a breakthrough!

Along with the crippled man, also Peter and John, the Apostles, experienced a breakthrough, because miracles that had not happened beforein through their ministry took place exactly on that day. Ever since then, different miracles never ceased in their lives and ministries. Even the shadow of Peter who started healing the sick as he passed by them. Imagine what will happen to you when you begin to experience a continual breakthrough in every sphere of your life.

A breakthrough moves us from weakness to strength. This crippled man’s feet and ankles were weak, therefore he could not walk. When God gave him a breakthrough, his feet and ankles immediately became strong. «…7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. » (Acts 3:7).
