Topic:Outstanding Breakthrough
Text: Genesis 22:15-18

You can have an outstanding breakthrough. You may have received some miracle already. However, I want to know that, in spite of what God has already done for you, you can still move into the realm of outstanding breakthroughs.

To understand what it means to experience an outstanding breakthrough, it is important to take a look at scriptural illustrations and teaching on the subject. Therefore, let us examine some Bible characters, who had great breakthroughs. The God of breakthroughs introduced Himself in Exodus 3:15 as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He called Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob because they all had breakthroughs. Braham was 95 years old before he had his major breakthroughs. He met with the God of breakthroughs and the promises of God were fulfilled in his life. Genesis 22:18 give us the kernel of Abraham’s breakthrough: “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” Isaac also had a great breakthrough. There was a great famine in the land but, while others were suffering, Isaac was prospering. He prospered so much that a whole nation envied him. Isaac had a great breakthrough because he was linked with Abraham who had a breakthrough.

Those who have great breakthroughs are always linked with people who had great breakthroughs. If you are linked with a man of God or a believer who has a breakthrough, you too will have a breakthrough. God said he would bless Abraham whereas he promised to multiply Isaac until he would become like the stars of the heavens and the sand by the seashore. He said Isaac, being one of the seeds of Abraham, would possess the gates of his enemies and, through him, the nations of the earth would be blessed. Genesis 26:13-14 tells us more about Isaac: “And the men waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.” Do you know that your own breakthrough can surpass that of your leader?
