While visiting Higher Dimension on the Southwest side of Houston, TX., Pastor Terrence Johnson (affectionately known as Pastor J) gave an interesting analogy to breakthroughs and layaway. He empasized that it's already yours, and that God made the down payment. But it's up to you to get it out. He went on to give three key points as to how to get your breakthrough off of layaway.
1) Be Obedient
He talked about obeying God, and surrendering your life to His will. I talk with alot of peole, and they always say things like, I wonder why I haven't made it. Well a lot of times it's due to the fact that we're pursing things that God didn't intend for us. As people, we take the long way around, when if we'd followed God's plan in the first place, we probably would have reached our destiny's by now. He gave Deuteronomy 28:11 as an example. "If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth."
2) Maturity
He went on to discuss how many of us have not received our Breakthroughs because we're simply not mature enough to handle it yet. There are somethings we have to go through, we have to endure to grow and stretch our faith.
And Last but surely not least.....
3) Humility
The last point he made to drive his point home was that we must be humble. He stated that people who are humble will be exalted. I like it how when people don't brag on their accomplishments or successes, but let them speak on their own.
So be blessed, and know your breakthrough is on layaway, it's already yours, and God has made the downpayment. However, it's up to you to do the rest!!!!!!
With Love
