I would like you to read this message with rapt attention. However, before you go on, I would like you to pray these prayer points with all the seriousness that you can gather. By the time you would have finished reading this message, a divine exchange would have taken place in your life. The transformation that you will experience will make even your enemies to wonder. Not only that beloved, power and wealth will change hands in the Name of Jesus. This means that the powers that have been sitting on your breakthroughs, whether they are physical or spiritual, all of a sudden, those powers will summersault.
Also, after reading this message there will be an over-turning and over taking. When the crisis starts, the purpose will be to bring you favour. Also, long-term problems shall be disgraced. Many sisters, who have lost their seat, will retrieve them. The servants that have been riding on the horse of the destiny of some people will fall down from that horse. If the doctors have qualified your situation as being ‘hopeless’, it shall experience the raw power of God today. Your labour of past years, that the enemy has stolen, you shall repossess in the Name of Jesus. Many people collect blessings but they get filtered away. It is because they have evil baskets in their lives. If you are in that category the basket shall be melted away in the Name of Jesus. Do not allow this opportunity to pass you by.
• Any power that has tied me down die in the Name of Jesus.
• Every witchcraft power monitoring my breakthroughs die in the Name of Jesus.
• You ‘Pharaoh’ amongst my pursuers, you ‘Goliath’ amongst my oppressors, I bury you today in the Name of Jesus.
I want you to pull down the clouds of your breakthroughs today, by saying:
• O heavens, release my breakthroughs, in the Name of Jesus.
Psalm 124:7
“Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped”.
The first thing what I would like you to know, is the fact that God is not a failure; therefore, we His children, should not be a failure in any way. God did not design anyone to come to this world and fail. Any failure we find in our lives is not the fault of God.
The verse above, gives a wonderful picture of what is called breakthrough. Imagine the scene of a bird that has been caged. It has become limited; even through it could travel for miles in the sky freely. It has been reduced to a creature that cannot move past 1foot upwards and downwards. Only God knows for how long it has been in the cage suddenly, a particular power comes and breaks the cage open and the bird escapes. This is the picture of breakthrough.
Breakthrough
It is a serious progress. It is possible for a person to progress but not in an appreciable way. If a person wants to go to Kaduna and sets out on foot, he would be moving, which means he or she is making progress but it is a slow one. Breakthrough is serious progress, advancement. I know that you want advancement; otherwise, you would not have picked this message up to read. Those who know that there is a better level and want to get there are the ones that read messages like this. I know that the Lord will touch you through it and you will become a completely changed person in the Name of Jesus.
Breakthrough is a positive boost. You could be doing well and you start doing better. It is a forward development, an important discovery. You could have been on one spot for years and you do not know what is going wrong. All of a sudden, God opens your eyes to see what it is. A person could have been eating form the table of darkness for a long time then, one day, God opens his eyes to see what is going wrong.
In one of our branches, we preached a message on the strongman. There was a woman at the service, who had just lost her husband, she prayed vigorously and her blouse was soaked in sweat. When she got home, her house-help welcomed her and congratulated her for having started to pray. The woman wondered and the girl said she was the one that killed her husband. The woman said she had to leave the house. The girl said she would leave but that the woman should know that she had initiated her children into witchcraft. For fifteen years, this woman did not know that her enemy was in her pocket. There are many people like that, whose eyes need to be opened. You should know who the rat in your business is, and who the aggressor in your camp is; and who the unfriendly friends are.
Breakthrough is breaking through a barrier, which the Psalmist calls “Jumping over a wall.” It is when you penetrate your enemy’s defence. They have been trying to defend you but all of a sudden, you move in. it is an anointed increase, which will make people wonder what is happening to you, it is being lifted above all the enemies round about you. It is promotion enrichment, betterment. It is a positive headway.
Sometime ago, we prayed for a young man. He had As in all the subjects he sat for the school certificate examination. However, whenever he sat for the joint matriculation examination his result was withheld because his score was always too high and it was assumed that he cheated. One day he attended an MFM prayer meeting and we prayed for him. That night, he had a dream where he saw himself at the gate of a university in the south and a masquerade was standing there, saying that he would not go in, he got to another university in the north and the masquerade was at the gate and it said he would not go in. he saw himself in front of another university which he had never been to before and he still saw the masquerade, which did not allow him to enter. For the first time in his life, it became clear to him, that there was an enemy attached to his breakthrough. I pray that any power assigned to his breakthrough shall be destroyed today in the Name of Jesus.
Breakthrough is a radical expansion; an exceptional maximisation; an enlargement, a turning point. It is when you are going the way of poverty and all of a sudden, there is a turning point. It is when you are going the way of frustration and all of a sudden, there is a turn around. It is when the doctor’s diagnosis spells doom, and you do not know that doctors do not have the last say; all of a sudden, there is a turn around for the best and the doctors are now surprised.
A woman came for prayers some years ago; she was 48 years old and had no child. After the prayers, she got pregnant. The scan showed that she had fibroids and that she should get it removed. She said she wouldn’t go through any operation. She sought a second opinion form another doctor and the scan showed fibroids. She said she would not undergo the operation, but would tell her pastor. She told me and we started to pray. I asked her to go back for another scan and she went to another doctor. There, it was discovered that she really had fibroids but she also had a baby in the womb, which the first two doctors did not see. It means that they would have killed the baby, in an attempt to remove the fibroids. I pray that any power that wants to destroy good things in your life, shall be destroyed in the Name of Jesus.
Beloved, you and I have been called to a battle; whether you like it or not, you are in the battlefront. Whether you believe it or not, war has been declared against you. If you say that you have never offended anyone, to warrant hostility against you, then I would ask you, if Jesus offended anybody, to warrant the treatment that He received form the Jews.
The devil does not let go easily on his prey; he has to be forced. The enemy of our soul will not give you honorary victory at all. Many people have honorary degrees; this means that they did not sweat to study for it. They were given free of charge. The enemy will not give you that kind of freedom that you did not sweat for. If there is any problem in your life now, the truth is that your life has something worth contesting for. That is all. You might wonder why you have problems; do you realise that, if you do not, it means you are finished. If the enemy sees that you are useless and without consequence to his kingdom, he will leave you alone and not bother you at all, because you are not a threat to his kingdom.
Anti-Breakthrough powers
They are powers that are saying ‘NO’ to your breakthroughs. They are the ones that hinder you form moving forward. They are the powers that make people to doubt God’s intervention in their situation. They are powers that have formed a covenant to resist you.
A woman had five sons. They got married and for many years, none of them had a child. The fifth one was given a book from MFM. He did not understand the prayers but he prayed them anyway. One day the Lord spoke to him; that he should not sleep with his wife, for the first seven days of their wedding. He told his fiancée and she agreed. On the wedding night, the bride came close and he reminded her of their agreement. The following day, the same thing happened. On the third day, the newly wedded wife got angry and struggled with her husband and even tore his clothes. He stood firm and did not sleep with her. On the forth day, he got a phone call from home that his mother was dying. The couple rushed there and the mother said she had a confession to make. She said she was a witch and had donated the sperms of the five sons and that was why they had no children. The covenant she made was to spiritually collect the sperms of her sons, on the first three days of their marriage. She had succeeded in the lives of the other four. When it got to the turn of the last one, she found out that they were not having sexual intercourse. She had only three days to carry out the operation; that was why the pressure was high from the bride on the third day. Since the mother could not donate the sperm, she had to die. That was why she sent for the man and his wife and then she died. That brother is the only one that has children out of the five men today.
Take this prayer point with holy anger beloved:
• Every internal power assigned against my breakthroughs, die in the Name of Jesus.
How did that woman transport herself into their bedroom without their knowledge? She did not go there physically. It means there are many things moving about, that our physical eyes cannot see.
Take these prayer points:
• Every power flying against my breakthroughs die in the Name of Jesus.
• Let there be a release of the anointing that breaks yokes, upon my life in the Name of Jesus.
Anti-breakthrough powers are powers contending for a person’s victory. They are powers that are designated to stagnate a person. They limit and stagnate progress. A man was experiencing stagnation in every way and every thing. One day, a friend sent him a forged foreign passport, with his photograph on it, to travel to that country. When he arrived that country, he passed the customs and immigration counters as an indigene. Suddenly one of the officers called him back and asked if the passport was his and he said yes. The officer asked him to mention the names of three popular supermarkets in that country but he could not. He was asked to mention the names of three daily newspapers and he could not. He was shown a coin and asked to say how much it was but he could not. It then became clear, beyond any reasonable doubt, that he had forged the passport. He was deported immediately. His life had been limited by the powers that stagnate. Anti-breakthrough powers are always sad and unhappy when a person starts making progress. They are bent on returning or retaining a person in poverty. They are powers of the night that spiritually steal from people. They circulate the names of people, for evil.
I used to tell a friend to be fervent in prayers, but he would laugh at me. He studied abroad so, he did not believe that there are evil powers anywhere. One day, as he was reviewing the videotape that his monitoring camera recorded in his office, he was shocked. He saw his secretary with a live cock; she killed it and smeared underneath his chair with the blood. He ran to me with the tape, crying that he had sat on the chair. Soon afterwards, he lost a huge, multi-million Naira contract that was almost his. I reminded him of the fact that he needed prayers. He has now become a prayer warrior.
Anti-breakthrough powers nullify favour. They are the ones that set up girl and boy friends from the pit of hell, in order to make people commit immoral acts with them and sin against God, thus, losing their breakthroughs. They are the powers that rage, when a person’s breakthrough is close-by. They are the powers that cause chaos, when a person is about to shine. They are inherited powers that have been assigned to destroy.
Today is the day that you will pray some serious prayers. They could sound strange but they are arrows of prayers that will fly far and wide, unhindered.
What to do
1. Realise that any sin in your life, will hinder breakthroughs. Sin could be as simple as anger, bitterness, envy, drunkenness, fornication, etc.
2. Know that the power of God is above all powers.
3. Wage war against anti-breakthrough powers.
There was a family of five girls. They all got married and one by one, they had problems with their husband and they returned to their family house, where their parents and grandmother lived. One day, the youngest of them, came across our book titled: Pray Your Way To Breakthroughs. She prayed all the prayers in it fervently that night from midnight till 1.00a.m. The following morning, their grandmother came to see her, to ask her which kind of prayers she was praying the previous night. She advised her to stop praying them and continue praying the ones they pray in their church. The ones she recommended are the prayers that recount stories and describe themselves, without fire in them. The trouble is that those prayers worked in the 1930s, but now, the enemy has changed gears and is now on the fast lane. When the sister heard this, she knew that there was trouble. She then decided to start form page 1 of the book. She prayed from midnight till 3.00a.m. The following morning, the grandmother came and warned her that those prayers were dangerous and that the sister was planning to kill someone with them. The sister apologised but she knew that she would not stop.
The third night, she started from page one and prayed even the prayers that did not sound relevant to her situation she prayed till 6.00a.m. By the time everybody woke up, they found their grandmother dead on her bed. As they were looking through her belongings, a padlock was found. The sister broke it open and in it was a list, with the names of the five sisters written on it. There was also a cotton wool with bloodstain on it. That meant that as far as they were menstruating, they would not stay in their husband’s house. The youngest poured anointing oil on the padlock, list and cotton wool, then burnt it with petrol. That evening, the husband of the first-born came begging, that his wife should come back home. By the end of that week, all five ladies were back in their husband’s house.
Beloved, we have arrived at an arena, where you cannot afford to joke with the enemy or have pity on him. We have arrived the arena, where every problem has to bend or bow; your enemy has made a mistake today. Take these prayers with holy aggression:
- Every power assigned against my breakthroughs, your time is up, therefore die in the Name of Jesus.
- Every house of shame constructed against me, scatter in the Name of Jesus.
- Every power dragging my progress in the ground, your time is up die in the Name of Jesus.
Sometimes, people feel movements in their bodies; those are anti-breakthrough serpents. They block roads of progress. Today, if you are in that category, you will receive the touch of the power of God. The Lord will give you your own letter of breakthrough today, in the Name of Jesus. Right now, visualise those things that you do not want in your life anymore. Name them one by one and pray like this:
• My Father, I come before You today, I know that You care for me and you will not allow me to be messed up by the enemy. It is written that You have given me power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over every power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me. Right now, every serpent and scorpion assigned against me is dead in the Name of Jesus. As from today, every power of Egypt that I saw before, I shall see them no more in the Name of Jesus.
Pray these prayers with holy aggression:
- Every evil power of my father’s house assigned against my breakthrough, today, die in the Name of Jesus.
- Mother’s house assigned against my breakthrough, today, die in the Name of Jesus.
