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

  • Life without prayer is a road to nowhere

    When a person repents, he can start developing his prayer life. We must know that God does not turn away from us even when we do not pray. God is very patient and He wants us to understand that without prayer we are spiritually weak and unable to enter the things He has prepared for us. Effective prayer is the thing that opens a way for us and allows God to walk ahead of us. God waits until we come to full realization of it. He is good to His children, but His goodness must lead us to repentance. Many people do not understand it. Sometimes we do things that go against God’s orders and at the same time we feel like it is alright.

    The lordship of Jesus Christ is what helps us to walk free from the accusations of Satan; with it in our lives, the blood of Jesus Christ works on our behalf. Our accuser is not the only voice before God; our Advocate and Intercessor Jesus Christ is also there defending us.

But if you will listen to your Intercessor Jesus Christ, then you will walk in repentance and the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse you.
