Hello, dear friends!g up our theme on breakthrough. We have exposed the devil, having reveal most of the reasons that are depriving of us breakthrough. The reason for this is that we might eliminate these reasons from our lives and enjoy the best that God has prepared for us.One more reason why breakthrough is delayed in people’s life is because the devil interferes with our miracle. Jesus said:
 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John10: 10).
Though according to the context, this passage is more about false teachers, rather than about the devil, but we know exactly, that the devil is both the source and the inspirer of false doctrines.The truth brings freedom, the truth enlighten and impact wisdom. However, the devil who is the father of lie, delights in you remaining a slaves to your circumstances and wallowing in your darkness and ignorance.The devil is not interested in you moving ahead, therefore he do everything possible to interfere with your breakthrough. But, thank God, that this is just a half truth. The absolute truth is that Jesus has come that we may have life and life in the abundance. Thanks to the coming of Christ, we can now resist the devil (the thief), and he will flee away from us.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:  9Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world” (1 Peter5:8-9).
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 Word of God to you today is to resist the devil, and he will flee from you, but do not forget that your power to resist the devil is derives from your humility and submission to God.It is also necessary to notice that simply obeying God and submitting to Him is not sufficient to experience a breakthrough in your life. People who are submissive and obedient to God should also be able to resist the devil and all his works in order to experience breakthrough in life.Dear readers, God wants to give you breakthroughs in life, is that what you want also? If you answer “yes” how are you proving to God that you are very serious about your?Remove all the barriers which can arise on the way of your breakthrough, and start to enjoy divine intervention in each area of your life from now on.I pray, you will be able to say confidently with David:
 “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever”(Psalm 23: 6).
God bless you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    We can not do the works of God without God. Very often in our own strength, we try to do what God requires us to do with Him. Often we rely on ourselves and on things we already know. Often we rely on our experience. But when the prayer is our priority we understand that when relying on ourselves and doing the job without prayer, we are wasting time and energy. Without a strong prayer movement in the church, the church vision cannot be accomplished. It´s just not possible!

  • Why it is necessary for us to make praise as a way of life

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Praise as a demonstration of our faith in God. In Roman 4: 20 we are told that Abraham He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. One of the ways we can both demonstrate and build a strong faith in our lives is to learn to give glory. One way we can give glory to God is to believe Him, praise Him and holding unto His word despite the negative circumstances of life. Only those who believe God is in control of their lives and their situations can live such a life. But the truth is that we cannot enjoy the life of God until we learn to give glory to Him by demonstrating our faith in Him through praise on a daily basis.
