Matthew 15:22-28 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Introduction
To be unstoppable simply means never to allow situations and circumstances to stop you from reaching or achieving your goals. It is good to plan but a deliberate attempt towards goals accompliahment is a major factor in success. Like it is said, quitters don't win. Anyone that runs the race must run to the end to win the price.
A christian Life is about achieving purpose. God has a plan for every of his child.
God said to Jeremiah and indeed to every believer, in
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
That is why God told him clearly in
Jeremiah 1:5
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
The woman of Canaan recorded in Matthew 15:22-28 did not allow situations or circumstances to stop her. She left her sick daughter and hesded straight for Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith and the healer himself. Jesus said to her, you don't give the children's food to the dogs, she said I know, but the crumbs will do. What a faith this woman demonstrated. She knew the power that our Jesus has.
If only believers know what they carry, they will be unstoppable. The crumbs was enough to heal the sick daughter what about you a child of God feeding on the main food from the main dish daily?
The Bible is full of many examples of those who refused to be stopped, those who made up their minds to be unstoppable: For example
1. The woman with the issue of Blood in Mark 5:22 - 30 was unstoppable by sickness, shame and poverty.
Mark 5:28 says For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole and for sure, that touch made her whole. There is no contact with Jesus, that leaves you the same. Every contact brings in testimonies.
2. Blind Bathemeaus in Mark 10:46-50 was unstoppable.
Mark 10:48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
The crowd shouted him down, but he shouted up. I don't know what discouragement have been stopping you but in the name that is above all names, be lifted in Jesus name. The Lord will hear your voice and answer you in Jesus name. Just sincerely call on Jesus! He hears and he cares.
The Bible says
Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
3. Jabez Was unstoppable. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 says
1 Chronicles 4:10
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Jabez had a very terrible demonic foundation that had limited all members of his family hence he was named sorrow but Jabez said what have limited my family members will not limit me hence he called on the Lord God of Isreal with whom nothing is impossible according to Luke 1:37
4. Esther said if I perish I perish but I am unstoppable.
Esther made up her mind that tradition of men was not going to stop her from actualizing her goal so she broke protocols to get her portion from the King because she had the backing of the King of Kings - Jesus himself. She knew that prayer changes things, she knew that certain things cannot be accomplished except.through fasting and prayers so she said:
Read Esther 4:16
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
5. 3 Hebrew Boys were unstoppable.
Daniel 3:17-18 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
These Hebrew Boys did not allow idolatry to stop them. Infact they declared in
Daniel 11:32
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
They had implicit confidence in their God. They knew by faith, study and experience that man made god cannot safe hence they declared it so to the king.
6. Elisha was unstoppable. Despite the discouragement of the sons of the prophets in
2 Kings 2:3 and 5
And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
These were experts speaking the mind of God yet Elisha was determinate and he reached his goal. He did not allow the report od the experts to deter him from reaching his goal
Infact, these same sons of the prophets were the same one the ended up celebrating Elisha after he has taken the mantle.
2 Kings 2:15 says
And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
7. Joshua and Caleb were unstoppable.
Numbers 13:30-31 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
The Bible says in
Proverbs 23:7a
For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he:
God backs us up when we believe.
8. Daniel was unstoppable. The Prince of Patia warred and did all it could to deny Daniel answers to his prayers but because he was unstoppable, God sent his angel to deliver unto Daniel, answers to his prayers even after 21 days.
What are passing through right now, surely as you continue in prayers, God surely will show up in Jesus name.
Daniel 10:13 says But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Persistent. Daniel continued to push until he got his answers. The Bible says in John 15:11 that we ask until our joy be full.
9. Jacob was unstoppable. Because he needed to prevail, because he was unstoppable, even the angel saw the persistence and doggedness and had no choice than to bless him. The Bible says in
Genesis 32:24-26 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
No doubt, with persistence in righteousness, all things can be accomplished.
10. Joseph was unstoppable. Everything that the enemies of Joseph did to deny him of his dream worked for the fulfilment of his dream.
The father said how can me and your mother bow before you?
The brothers said lets kill him, here comes the dreamer.
portipha wife lied and sent him to Prison but lo, all these worked together for Josephs good.
The Bible says
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Genesis 50:18-20 Joseph confessed it
Genesis 50:20
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
What can Really make me unstoppable.
1. Faith
Have faith in Jesus
2. The Word
Study the Word
3. Righteousness
Live righteously for righteousness exalts
What do I do now
Run to Jesus and answer Him for he calleth thee. In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says to you, I mean you, come unto me. So talk to your maker, Lord Jesus here I am the way I am, come into my life accept me and be my Lord and personal Savior. Congratulations if you genuinely made that decision.
