Scripture: Deuteronomy 1:7-8
“7. Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites,and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8. Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give unto them and their seed after them.”
Breaking forward! Yesterday, we focused on breaking out. Freedom is God’s plan for us to break out from any form of captivity. And it’s also His plan to move us from breaking out to breaking forward. He didn’t just brought them out of bondage, He also brought them into the promised land.
God’s desire is to see us progress from one level into another.
In verse 6 of Deuteronomy chapter 1, the Lord said to Moses in horeb, you have stayed to long in the mountain… Horeb is suppose to be the mountain of God, yet the Lord said “you have stayed too long in this mountain.” As you look forward to break out and break forward, it’s important you take note of these 2 things.
Freedom begins when you consciously make up you mind observe these 2 things.
Number 1. Break out of your comfort zone.
Most times, our limitations are not demonic but just the comfort we have created over time as a result of success, spirituality and mindset.
Success is an enemy sometimes to fulfillment. We are so stocked in our yesterday’s success, such that moving forward becomes a great challenge.
Success is a journey and not a destination. Today’s success is only a path for tomorrow’s Glory. Don’t get stock in success, break forward. Some have become so spiritual that they believe all things answers to only prayers, so they get stock in prayers and never work out their miracles. Faith without works is dead.. If you understand that scripture, you won’t just pray without working. Pray and also work.
Some are trapped in the thought of comfort, Moses was comfortable in horeb that he didn’t mind staying there, until God told him move out of horeb, you have stayed too long there.
Number 2. Learn to confront your fears. The reasons why a lot of persons are still trapped in a circle, is because of the fear of the unknown. They prefer to remain where they are than to take steps they can’t tell the outcome. The fear of failure has kept great idea as just only ideas. The fear of defeat are reasons why many great plans are still in the dark. Moses was afraid of the amorites, the amorites are the remains of the giants that once dominated the earth, Deut 3:11. They were also known as the mountain warriors. The fear of the amorites kept Moses stocked in horeb. He found comfort in horeb and was afraid to confront his fears. What you fear most, don’t give them the chance to denial you of entering into your promise this year.
The Lord said to Moses, “turn and go to the mount of the Amorites…” In verse 8; He said I have set the lands before you go and possess it, don’t let your fear stop you from taking possession of the greatness before you. You must break forward! Go and take that victory, it’s yours. Go through the very fear and you will see they are not as powerful as you think.
This year too much are ahead of you don’t be limited by anything. You can! I see you possessing all your promises.
Declaration
I declare, today, I break through my comfort zone, I break through my fears. I possess all the promises. My day is blessed .
