Breakthrough – Day (11)

Grace and Peace be unto you from God Our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, what an accomplishment you have made, you have reach day eleven; this really demonstrates your commitment to the Lord and Godly things. Pastor Leo encouraged us on yesterday and we should give and earnest ear to the statement he made, ‘Fasting is not something that is man made. It is in fact, of God.’ I concur; it is one of the terms of our agreement with the Lord Jehovah, which we have been taught is the Lord’s covenant name with Israel. I would like you to know that God is a reciprocating God, when we focus our attention on him and keep his word he responds, he is a God who always keeps his word. In contractual agreements, there are common or key elements, for example, contracts have an offer, acceptance, consideration for an exchange and a contract clearly sets out the terms of the agreement without ambiguity. Even when we forget some of the benefits or terms enclosed with the agreement, the Lord does not forget his word, he stands firm upon his promises.

My wife and I, like all responsible drivers have insurance on our vehicles so that if we are involved in an accident we can recoup the cost of any damages that our vehicles may incur. Many years ago one of our vehicles broke down and required towing, while searching for some information in the glove compartment of our car we noticed an emergency clause that was included in our insurance agreement. The clause entitled us to free towing for a given number of miles, but we did not know the benefit existed. We called the insurance company and they explained that type of benefit was commonplace for all of the policies they offered.

One of the commonplace benefits of fasting is breakthrough; breakthrough should be seen in the realm of the spirit, emotions, and personal habits or in practical areas of life, such as a relationship or finances. In I Samuel chapter 7, Israel laments and cries for the presence of the Lord 1 Samuel 7: 2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD. Notice the actions of Israel, verse 6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and FASTED on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh. Just as you have been challenged during the fast, so was Israel, verse 7 And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. It is normal for others to view you as in a weakened state physically and you are somewhat weaker physically but you are a pushover, God is with you. Notice Israel appears to lack physical strength, they are apparently unarmed, but they are in the Lords presence, and here comes the breakthrough verse 9 And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him. 10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel. 11 And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.

When you are sincere about your sacrifice the Lord will fight for you and discomfort your enemies. Whatever you do, do not quit now, victory belongs to those will remain in the Lord’s presence amid adversity.

Grace and Peace be multiplied,
