Text:- Thus saith the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. Isaiah 45: 1-3
Introduction
Our environment, background, forces of evil constitutes limits on us preventing us from becoming what God has designed for us. This is why many accept their limitations as their cross. However, it is the will of God for all His children to beak limits on their journey of life so they can enjoy supernatural progress. The Bible says, “For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.” Isaiah 54: 3
Do Not Settle For Little! We are products of limitations. One of the consequences of adamic nature in us is limitations. We could not see nor understand many things. As a result, we are full of anxieties, worries and fears. But he who fears being conquered is sure of defeat. God’s original purpose for your life has not changed. When a Christian is dealing with struggles in life it’s not to defeat us, but make us stronger. He wants you to have dominion over all creatures. When you fall down you should rise up again and don’t give up. Do not settle for little, God has greater things to do in your life. John 16:33; Judges 7:19-22; 2 Corinthians 4:8-10; Psalm 34:19; Hebrews 10:35-36; Psalm 34:18
Prepare for War! Whoever wants to break limits must prepare for war. The forces that placed them on our ways are aiming at pulling us down and will do everything they can to resist or discourage us from progressing to the next level.
Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for war! Rouse the warriors! Let all the fighting men draw near and attack” Joel 3: 9
This is not a religious or physical battle. Christians don’t fight with physical weapons in the spiritual war. The Bible says, “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds” 2 Corinthians 10: 4.
In Christ, we have the capability to pull down men's high-minded rumblings and attacks against our destiny. We can lay waste the imagination of man, and put to naught everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of the truth. The weapons are listed in Ephesians 6: 10-16
They are
the belt of truth
the breastplate of righteousness
the gospel of peace
shield of faith
helmet of salvation
the sword of the Spirit
As you put on these armours, rise in the strength of the Lord and breakthrough all limits in Jesus name
