Expect Your Breakthrough

9/1/2019

Your breakthrough is on the way! You are very close!

What Is The Meaning Of Breakthrough?

According to Merriam-Webster, a breakthrough is "an act or instance of moving through or beyond an obstacle."

To succeed you must take action. So many people stop because of fear, but this is the most important step to making your goals a reality.

Breakthrough! Do you need one? Do you know how? What is holding you back from achieving your breakthrough?

Is it FEAR? Is it the Comfort Zone? Could it be your Mindset? What about your Beliefs? Is it Accountability? Or maybe the breakthrough you want is simply to step into YOUR CALLING?

Do you want to help others breakthrough but the voice in your head keeps saying “why would anyone listen to me?”

I love the acronym FOMO. FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out.

It summarizes why you don’t take action because you are afraid something better will come along.

I'd like to share some learnings from our church pastor, Ptr. Jhun Cunanan of Word of Hope (A Christian Family Church). Enjoy and be blessed by the article that you are about to read below.

David Defeats the Philistines

8 When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them. 9 Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim; 10 so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”
The Lord answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”
11 So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim, and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand.” So that place was called Baal Perazim. 12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn them in the fire.
13 Once more the Philistines raided the valley; 14 so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.
17 So David’s fame spread throughout every land, and the Lord made all the nations fear him.

(1 Chronicles 14:8-17)

Seek God's Guidance And Direction

Before David attacked the Philistines he stopped and asked for God's direction and was seeking guidance in two critical areas:

Shall I attack?
Will you hand them to me?

The problem or crisis that David went through revealed his dependence on God.

Key Thought:

David did not go to God with plans. He went to God for plans.

We need to continually seek God's direction!

Follow God's Direction

The simple truth is that where God leads, He is also present!

It is important to notice that David was concerned about two key areas: God's Direction and God's Presence.

When God directs, the plan never fails!

Key Thought:

God is not just leading you into the battle, but He is leading you to a place of victory!

Expect God To Give You Your Breakthrough!
