What is a breakthrough?

I greet you on this wonderful day and I pray that the presence of God is with you throughout this day! Today I want to share with you the word about breakthrough. Talking about breakthrough, I want to draw your attention to a popular story from the Bible. This story is written in the book of Acts of Apostles:
“One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God,they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.” (Acts 3:1-10)
This is a story of a man who was crippled from birth, and he momentarily experienced breakthrough. This story includes several godly principles that will help every person to achieve a breakthrough in any sphere of their lives. This is what I want to talk about today. I believe that breakthrough is knocking at your door at this moment. Open your heart to a wonderful and unforgettable experience with God.What is a breakthrough? How does it benefit you?  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.
 This is exactly what this crippled man experienced when he met face to face with the power of God and this is what needs to begin in your life starting from today. This crippled man had been in that position for already more than forty years. 
“For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.” (Acts 4:22)
For all these years, this man had been dependent on others in his basic needs.
  • As he could not walk himself, other people carried him around every day.
  • To have food, every day he depended on other people’s mercy.
  • It is possible that he did not even have a name. In the Bible, it is not mentioned what his name was. He was just called the crippled man. Perhaps his parents had abandoned him right after he was born and therefore had not given him a name. But…
Praise Almighty God, Who gives us a breakthrough. A breakthrough lifts a person on a new level and changes their status in life. Today God wants to give you a breakthrough. Will you receive it for your situation? Maybe it will apply to your illness, or perhaps you have financial difficulties? You might be in enormous debts, your family might be in crisis, or your company is going bankrupt. Maybe you have lost the healthy control over your children, or they cause you to be in unbearable pain. Whatever your situation might be, God is able to give you a breakthrough. Step on this road and your present status will turn into an honorable and respectable status. The crippled man received a breakthrough and all his life changed. Now he could walk himself, instead of others carrying him. Instead of begging every day, he could earn his living and help others. A breakthrough changes person’s status for a lifetime. May the mercy for a breakthrough come over you starting today! Tomorrow we will continue this topic. Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    All people need change; we help each other through relationships that we are involved. God alone does not need to change; all the people, on the other side, desperately need to change. We need each other and we help each other to change. If we do not understand it and lose sight of it, then it will be hard for us to build any relationships.

  • Forget not all His benefits!

    Many of us do not thank God as we ought to, because we do not purposely keep in mind what God has done or is doing for us. We forget because we do not write it down. When I was a teenager, we often sang a song that said: «Count your blessings! Name every one of them, one after another, and you will be amazed at what the Lord has done!» I advise every one of you to record every miracle and every blessing that God does in our lives. You can use different methods: either modern technologies or simple writing.
  • How can we earn promotion? III

    God has set particular order in His Kingdom; there are some principles that the Kingdom of God is based on: humble people open for themselves the grace of walking in the fear of the Lord and they experience riches, honour and full life from God, – the Word of God says so. Prideful and haughty sooner or later are humbled and their life is filled with falls and destruction.If we desire God’s promotion we need to walk in humility and obedience to God. So many people after they get promoted become unapproachable, unsociable, and haughty.
  • Our sins and the sins of others are the main reasons of tragedies

    The majority of tragedies and disasters on earth that daily destroy great many people are a result of lawlessness of the people living on earth.«So you shall not pollute the land where you are; for blood defiles the land, and no atonement can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who shed it. Therefore do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel» (Numbers, 35:33-34).
  • The power of compassion

    Today I would like to talk about the power of compassion. If we look at the life of Jesus as the image of God – and that is Who Jesus is, – we will see that Jesus was motivated by compassion. When we are moved by compassion, we can’t be idle and barren. Our world is full of problems and God is calling us to work to solve them. We are His representatives on the earth. We are the Body of Christ on earth, so anything that God wants to do here He does through us.Looking at the life of Jesus we see that He never was idle. Every time when He wanted to be alone and relax after long hours of ministry, people would find Him and ask for help. And He never rejected anybody. Many times we read in the Bible: «He had compassion and ministered to them». He went from town to town, because He was anointed to bring solutions where problems were.
