Kingdom Path to Breakthrough and Answered Prayers

‘’…God had told Abram, Leave your own country behind you, and your own people, and go to the land I will guide you to.  If you do, I will cause you to become the father of a great nation; I will bless you and make your name famous, and you will be a blessing to many others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and the entire world will be blessed because of you...” (Gen 12:1-3) -The Living Bible

A friend once told me… ’’If you have a challenge, you must either know what to do or where to go for a timely breakthrough’’ ever since I have always pondered on the statement and used it as a guide in my work with God. In the above scripture we see God telling Abram the same thing in verse 2  ‘’…If you do (what I tell you to do), I will cause you to become the father of a great nation…’’

God gave an Instruction of what to do, he said  “…Leave your own country behind you, and your own people, and go to the land I will guide you to…’’

Abram needed to do something for him to enter into the fullness of God. You would notice the scriptures still uses Abram here and not Abraham…it was until Abram made that move that a change came into is life, until he did what was necessary, the owner of heaven did not open heaven for his sake and is miracles didn’t come forth.  We must know that it is the knowledge of not knowing what to do or where to go that makes us continuous victims of ridicule and object of continuous battering in the hands of the enemy. This means we have our own part to play and God also as is own part as well.

Saul’s servant told him what to do when he almost gave up after spending several days of looking for his father donkey.  

‘’… When they reached the district of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, Come, let’s go back, or my father will stop thinking about the donkeys and start worrying about us. But the servant replied, “Look, in this town there is a man of God; he is highly respected, and everything he says comes true. Let’s go there now. Perhaps he will tell us what way to take...” (ISam9:5-6)

Likewise, the servant of Naaman gave him a hint of what to do and where to go and his miracle was delivered to him.

‘’…One day the little girl said to her mistress, “I wish my master would go to see the prophet in Samaria. He would heal him of his leprosy! ”Naaman told the king what the little girl had said. “Go and visit the prophet,” the king told him.”

(2Kings 5:3-5) 

Also God guided Joshua on how to overcome Jericho

‘’…And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.  And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times and the priests shall blow the trumpets.  It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat...’’     (Joshua 6:2-5) 

Friends we must understand that God will never do man’s part and man can never do man’s part. There is always what to do and there is always where to go as the case may be. The scriptures says God as perfected/ordained strengths  right from the mouths of babes and nursing infants, that is he as perfected is works every where we turn to. Do you know that what we are looking for is a irrelevant to another? And sometimes what moves us doesn’t move another, in other words most times what we need in life and sometimes look for is actually embedded in somebody around the corner or lying in a place, all we just need is a simple direction…yes…simple direction and that is what we get in God, DIRECTION, because he knows what we don’t and sees what we don’t and more so he is the one that places the solution one man is looking for into another. This is the sovereignty of God.

The big question is knowing what applies and works for us in our present situation as regards what to do or where to go…! And the answer is simply having a listening ear. The scripture says’’…God had told Abram…’’  (Gen 1:1)...Hallelujah…..listen friends! He will speak to you and tell you things if you care to listen ‘’…Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know...'’ (Jer 33:3) Niv

Unfortunately, most Christians just continue to pray and never ask for divine instructions as regarding what their praying about, they always believe God will do it, of which their correct but fail to respond well to the ‘’doing’’ they do and that of God.

Friends, the kingdom path to breakthrough and answered prayers is in listening to divine instructions and taking divine steps. Understand today that the answer to your breakthrough and prayers lies in steps of faith that you take and somewhere as a result of divine direction. The answer may be in a man (which God as invested in) or a particular location that you must set out to go without fear of the unknown.

As believers, our utmost prayer should be God give me anointed ears to hear you when you speak and a heart of obedience to execute what you have said. Praise Lord!
