HEBREWS 11:1-6
Do you know
that there are conditions for divine breakthroughs? Let us examine them today.
The one chosen for a breakthrough will have to do something about it. It is one
thing to give and it is another to receive. If you are willing and obedient,
you will eat the good of the land. Abraham received God’s message and did
something about it (Genesis 12:1-3). As soon as God said he should go, he
packed his things and went. When God told Sarah that she would have a child,
even though she laughed and did not believe it, she received it anyhow and did
something about it. She yielded to her husband and, nine months later, her baby
came. Hannah also received the prophecy of the man of God that her request
would be granted (1 Samuel 1:18). She became sad no more. If you will believe
you will see the glory of God. Again, those who will have a breakthrough must
be hard working. They must also be great givers. Abraham was a great giver. He
was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. The widow of Zarephath gave her last meal to Elijah obediently. She
was an exceptional giver. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offering and God
appeared to him and asked him what He should do for him (2 Chronicles 1:6-7).
In Philippians 3:7-8, Paul said all that were gain to him he had handed over to
Jesus. In 1 Samuel 1:24-28, Hannah gave the son God gave her back to God. Are
you a great giver? Those who will have breakthroughs must be great and
tremendous worshippers. God is Spirit and those that worship Him must do so in
spirit and in truth, for He seeks such people. In 1 Samuel 2:1-2, Hannah worshipped
God and said there is none as holy as the Lord. Do you really know how to
worship God? Are you addicted to worshipping and praising God? You are then
candidate for blessings. Take the steps outlined in today’s devotional story
and you will be blessed.
MEMORIZE:
LUKE 6:38 –Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom.
