Breakages

Breakages

The church at Antioch prevailed in sharing their faith when scattered by persecution (Acts 11:19-23). In your life when resistance mounts, you can remember their example.  They adopted a new mindset. For your break through God may want you to do something differently.  They needed an encourager - Barnabas.  You also need someone who will inspire and encourage you along the right way.  They needed a capacity builder - Paul. Lots of encouragement without ability leads to frustration.

However, nothing would have worked without something breaking inside.  For your breakthrough, something will need to break. There is something called breaking for break through.  Something of yours has to break in order for something standing in the way to give way. Something has to break to give way to something greater from God. If you will not break, you will breakdown. If you break, you can no longer be broken. Breakages happen in several ways: 

>> Breaking of fallow ground. Breakage in your relationship with yourself.  How willing are you to learn and change? Soften your heart towards God’s word (Mathew 13:18-23).

>> Breaking of perfume jars. Breakage in your relationship with God. How much are you willing to part with out of love for God?  (Luke 7:37-48). Love him with all you have and all your heart, soul, and strength.

>> Breaking of earthen vessels. Breakage in your relationship with the world around you. Does your world see more  of you the earthen vessel or the glory inside (2 Corinthians  4:6-7). Let them see the glory.

>> Breaking of light pitchers. Breakage in your relationship with the enemy.  Gideon used a relatively very small army size and unusual weapons to achieve victory (Judges 7v18-22).   They broke their pitchers of light, blew their trumpets and celebrated victory in advance. Do not wait begin now to declare and celebrate Christ’s victory for you.
