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

  • Prayer is our spiritual breathing

    Ask God for grace to arrange your life for effective praying. Be honest with yourself today. Is your prayer life effective, or it has turned into fruitless routine? Maybe your really do not have any prayer relationships with God? You alone can answer these questions. We often talk of prayer; we hear of prayer. It makes us think that we know what prayer is. But do we practise praying? We know that prayer is necessary for our spiritual life, just like air is necessary for our physical life. We must be enough diligent and disciplined to pray.

  • Effective prayer of a believer is a serious threat to Satan´s plans and actions

    Why does Satan hate it and is afraid of the prayers of the children of God? This is because in a prayer, we and God become a team – an invincible team. In the Book of Daniel, there is a description of an event when a certain group of people prompted the king to issue a law prohibiting contact in a prayer with the living God. Except for the living God, they were allowed to pray any other gods. They were allowed to ask for help to people, but not only living God. And it was Satan´s plan. Why does Satan put these obstacles? Because he realized that the prayer is power.

  • Ask God for a reformation of your life, especially your prayer life!

    God desires for us to realize that the church that prayer also wins; it is united church which cannot be overcome by the gates of hell. Praying church is a growing church that experiences God’s power and miracles. God promised that He has established His church and that the gates of hell will not prevail against it. May God help every one of us to give prayer the central place in our lives; may God’s order be established in our lives. I am not talking about redundant, fruitless imitation of prayer; I am talking about the prayer that touches heaven, releases God’s power which was seen in the life of Jesus.

  • Lay hold on eternal life! III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Laying hold of eternal life means that a person strives to stay on the narrow road which leads to eternal life. Jesus knew that it would be so convenient for many to walk the broad road; being on this road, a person feels comfortable and lives without any restrictions; he does what he wants to do and is not limited by any commitments. But the Bible says that it is the way of sin, because a person is not accountable and moves ‘without brakes’, so to speak; this way leads to destruction. God says that we shouldn’t walk on this way. We must flee sin; we must cast aside all the worldly, ungodly things that hinder us, otherwise we won’t get to our destination – eternal life. Jesus says that many people will deny faith.
