Brealthrough 2015-Continual Victory

Breakthroughs represent victory and victory is sweet to all that taste it; but one victory does not mean we have the victory at all times. One victory does not mean we will never face any more battles in life. Ours is a life of continuous faith and commitment to God which guarantees a life of breakthrough when we need it the most. 

Remember that just by conquering one obstacle doesn't mean you have conquered all life’s obstacles. When the children of Israel conquered the Red Sea that did not mean that they had conquered all the obstacles to the Promised Land. The mighty Jordan River was also waiting for them. So it is wrong to relax and slacken up just because you receive one breakthrough.

What brought about your breakthrough and miracle is what gives life to that breakthrough. Believers have a tendency to abandon the spiritual disciplines which brought about their breakthrough once they have received the breakthrough. The Shunamite woman received her miracle through showing hospitality to Elisha. The Shunamite woman rushed to Elisha when her son died because her breakthrough came through Elisha. If she had cut contact with Elisha she was going to lose her son for good. Therefore, child of God, do not abandon practicing what brought about your miracle and breakthrough.

Galatians 6:9, 10 says, "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."

Breakthrough means God is up to something in your life. It can only come when you keep on keeping on. There's no quitting time for your faith in good or bad season. Therefore, hold on to the things that brought you breakthrough. God will be pleased and so will you.
