INTRODUCTION:

The world is full of records — achievements that stand as benchmarks for greatness. Some people have accomplished things that seemed impossible, breaking records in sports, business, science, and even ministry. These records are often the result of hard work, perseverance, and natural abilities. However, as believers, we know that we are not limited by natural means. When we are enabled by divine power, we are capable of breaking records that surpass human achievement. This is what we call divine enablement.

Divine enablement is the supernatural empowerment from God that allows us to accomplish far beyond our natural capacity. It takes us from being ordinary to extraordinary. The Bible shows us numerous examples of individuals who broke records and accomplished feats that seemed impossible, not by their own strength, but by the divine enablement of God. From David’s mighty men to Paul’s extraordinary ministry, we see how God equips and empowers His children to exceed expectations and break barriers.

This sermon will explore how divine enablement empowers us to break records in every area of life. God wants you to break barriers in your career, ministry, family, and personal life. The moment divine enablement comes upon you, your capacity is expanded, and what once seemed impossible becomes achievable. As you tap into God’s divine strength, you will break records that will testify to His glory and power in your life.

1. DIVINE ENABLEMENT TRANSFORMS ORDINARY PEOPLE INTO EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVERS

When God’s enabling power is at work in your life, you become capable of extraordinary feats.

a) God Equips Us Beyond Natural Ability

Divine enablement empowers us to accomplish tasks that are beyond our human abilities (Isaiah 40:31).

b) It Causes Us to Surpass Human Limitations

With God’s power, we can do what others deem impossible (Philippians 4:13).

c) It Turns Weakness into Strength

God’s strength is made perfect in our weakness, enabling us to achieve greatness (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).

d) It Elevates Us Above the Ordinary

We rise above the ordinary into realms of extraordinary achievement when we are divinely enabled (Ephesians 3:20).

Biblical Example: David’s Mighty Men (2 Samuel 23:8-12), who accomplished extraordinary feats through God's enabling power.

2. DIVINE ENABLEMENT BRINGS ACCELERATED SUCCESS AND RECORD-BREAKING RESULTS

God’s empowerment causes things to happen faster than the natural course of events.

a) Divine Speed Accelerates Success

With divine enablement, success is not delayed; it comes swiftly (2 Kings 7:1-2).

b) God Grants Favour for Breakthrough

Favor from God makes all the difference in achieving record-breaking results (1 Corinthians 15:10).

c) Supernatural Wisdom Leads to Unprecedented Achievements

Divine wisdom enables us to make decisions that lead to groundbreaking accomplishments (James 1:5).

d) Divine Speed Propels Us Past Our Competitors

Just as Elijah outran Ahab’s chariot, divine enablement accelerates us past others (1 Kings 18:46).

Biblical Example: Elijah outrunning Ahab’s chariot (1 Kings 18:46) and Joseph’s rise to power in Egypt (Genesis 41:46).

3. BREAKING RECORDS BY DIVINE ENABLEMENT REQUIRES OBEDIENCE AND FAITH

To experience supernatural empowerment, we must align with God’s will and step out in faith.

a) Obedience Activates Divine Enablement

Our obedience to God’s instructions releases His enabling power to accomplish great things (Deuteronomy 28:1-2).

b) Faith in God’s Ability Brings About Extraordinary Results

Faith opens the door to the miraculous, allowing us to exceed expectations and break records (Mark 11:22-24).

c) Stepping Out in Faith Unleashes Divine Power

Faith leads to action, and action in faith releases God’s power for record-breaking results (Matthew 14:28-29).

d) Trusting in God’s Plan Brings Supernatural Acceleration

When we trust God completely, He accelerates our progress and causes us to break records (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Biblical Example: The faith of Abraham, who against all odds, became the father of many nations (Romans 4:18-21).

4. DIVINE ENABLEMENT EMPOWERS YOU TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES AND BREAK THROUGH LIMITATIONS

When God empowers you, there is no obstacle that can stand in your way.

a) God Breaks Every Barrier in Your Path

God removes obstacles and makes a way where there seems to be no way (Isaiah 45:2).

b) Strength to Overcome All Opposition

With divine enablement, we have the strength to overcome opposition and reach our goals (Romans 8:37).

c) You Will Achieve More Than You Thought Possible

Divine enablement opens doors and allows you to accomplish more than what you originally dreamed (Ephesians 3:20).

d) God’s Power Makes You Unstoppable

No matter the opposition, divine enablement makes you unstoppable in fulfilling your purpose (Philippians 4:13).

Biblical Example: The walls of Jericho falling down at the sound of the Israelites' faith (Joshua 6:1-20).
