SERVICE: BREAKING INVISIBLE BARRIERS.

"(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb” (Romans 4: 17-19).

Understanding determines the quality of the results that you command. Every arrival of the Word of God is the arrival of hope and change. Every sent word is programmed to deliver (Isaiah 55:8-11).

WHAT IS PROPHECY?

1. It is the unveiling of God’s plans and purpose for a nation, a group of people or an individual (Deuteronomy 18:21-22). They are God’s instrument of rescue (Hebrew 10:35-38).
2. Prophecy is “Thus says the Lord”. That is the mouthpiece of God, through man, declaring the commandments of God (Isaiah 14:24).
3. It is the sworn verdict of God (Isaiah 14:24).

There are two main sources of prophecies and they include:

1. Prophecy from the scripture also referred to as a “more sure word of prophecy” (2Peter 1:19-21). A prophecy from the Word of God is reliable.
2. Prophecy from the prophet sent to you. This should not be a believer’s main priority (Matthew 10:41).

Every ministry gift is given to edify the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 14: 3).

It is our responsibility to know what it takes to experience fulfilment of prophecy. Every word of prophecy commits God to visit man. Prophecies stimulate joy and rejoicing (Hebrew 12:2).

We are not of them that draw back unto perdition but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

HOW DO YOU CONTINUE TO THE END WITHOUT GIVING UP?

Be strong in faith by giving glory to God. Doing the will of God strengthens faith (Romans 4: 17-19; Isaiah 40:28-31). Waiting on the Lord also means you are trusting in Him and He does not fail. The word of prophecy stirs up faith and destroys weariness.

 WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET PROPHECIES FULFILLED?

When Prophecies are declared:

1. It stirs up or ignites hope. The Word of God is the living hope; therefore, it injects living hope in people (Psalm 119:49 & Psalm 89: 34).
2. It declares the counsel of the Lord (Isaiah 52:1-2; 1 John 5:4).

WHAT IS A BARRIER?

It is an obstacle, something that prevents movement or passage, something that wants to stop your advancement. There are invisible barriers the enemy can put to stop people from entering into God’s plan. There is no barrier that God cannot destroy, believe Him and it shall come to pass. Do not watch barriers, speak to it and it will give way (Mark 4: 35-39 Mark 11:23).

Unbelief is a barrier to receive God’s prophecy. Praise is a sign that you believe God and it is a sickle to take delivery of every promise of God (Hebrew 3:16-18, Hebrew 4:1). Until a prophetic word is received, it is never fulfilled. You have to receive it, believe it and it shall be fulfilled (2Peter 1:19-21).

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BREAK INVISIBLE BARRIERS?

We have a redemptive right to break invisible barriers off our paths.

1. You must be Born Again (1John 5: 4). Redemption guarantees your scaling every barrier.
2.  You must become and remain a child of light. When you walk in light, you can see the barriers and surmount it and God becomes your defence. We walk in light by remaining in love (1 John 4:16).
