Introduction
As a brief introduction to this book I want to share
with you some powerful truths from the Word of
God.

If you're ever going to be successful, and if God's
going to honor you, you must die to yourself.

Up until now you probably have realized in your
life that you know what needs to be done- you
already have that word from the Holy Spirit as to
what you need to be doing, but if you're like many,
it's as if you can't get beyond the barriers that you
find yourself in.

Guess what? If you think that you're going to be
able to do it alone, then you're mistaken. You can
do nothing without Jesus! The reason why you go
into seasons of despair and stretching is because
God wants to put new wine into your vessel, but
He'll do it when you surrender your all to Him.

Remember the scripture in Matthew 9:16-17?
Let's look at it here now.
16
No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old
garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh
from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles:
else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out,
and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into
new bottles, and both are preserved.

Here in this passage of scripture Jesus was
talking about fasting, but He was also talking
about going from the old to the new. Here in the
Scripture He was referring to the transition from
the Old Testament to the New Testament, but He's
5|Page


also referring to, the stages of glory that we ascend
to as believers from working out of the old life into
the new life. It refers to coming out from under the
shackles of the devil where as John 10:10 says the
enemy comes only to steal, kill and destroy... over
into the life that Jesus died to give us where He
says, but I have come that you may have life and
life more abundantly.

This book is about living in the fullness of your
Born-again life. It is about everything you do
prospering, just as the Lord originally intended it.

Jesus says in Matthew 6:21, "Where your treasure
is there your heart will be also."

The question can be asked, why is this important...
because if you're a salesman and your treasure is in
the approval of men, you will fail. Because your
treasure is on earth... but if you're a salesman and
your treasure is in heaven, then you will succeed,
because it doesn't matter how many upsets, or bad-
talking, or disappointments you face, your heart,
and your treasure is in heaven with Jesus, and you
know who's approval you're seeking- God's!

This is what it comes down to. Here me well... all
of the powerful principles that I give you won't
have half of the effective power in the Word, if you
don't give your all over to the Lord and stop trying
to hold on to your life here on earth.

So the principles here should not be seen as simply
principles, but principles that help you to die to
yourself, so that the abundant life of Christ can be
apparent in your life to His praise, glory and
honor!

I know how it feels to want to do great things for
the Lord. That's the way you should feel all the
6|Page


time.Praise God, and you will do them to the
honor and glory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, but you've got to do one thing... and that's
hate your life in this world.

If you cling to your life here on earth, your
reputation, your circumstances and all of that, you
will loose your life, but if you cling to your life in
Christ where it means that you die, so that Christ
lives in and through you, you'll find your life. And
the abundance of the Kingdom of God will be
present in your life here and now to the Lord's
glory!

This book is about letting your light shine before
men that they may see your good works and
glorify your Father in heaven.

It is indeed about you doing the good works that
you were created in Christ Jesus to do(Ephesians
2:10), as a son of God through faith in Jesus
Christ(Galatians 3:26), now living not for
yourselves but for He(Jesus) who died and was
raised again(2 Corinthians5:15)

John12:24-26
24
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of
wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains
alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 25 He
who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his
life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If
anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I
am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves
Me, him My Father will honor.

God wants your life to be a praise offering to
Him in the earth. Not just as a servant, and not
just as a friend, but as a son through our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Therefore David blessed the LORD before all
the assembly; and David said:

“ Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our
Father, forever and ever.
11
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O LORD,
And You are exalted as head over all.
12
Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
13
“Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
Now, David praised the Lord by opening His
mouth, God wants to take it even further than
that... He wants your life, and everything that you
do to be praise unto Him.

Before in the Old Testament the people would
open their mouths and praise God and then God
would show up. – The Lord inhabits the praise of
His people.

But now... we are God's own people. He who
pleases Him, He who magnifies Him, and He who
blesses Him dwells within you at all times- The
Holy Spirit.

So guess what, when you are led by the Holy
Spirit, your life is an offering or praise, so that
people can see God in you.

8|Page


Therefore let your light shine before men so that
men may see your good works and glorify your
Father in heaven.

All that's required is for you to die, so that His
praise that is now in you can flow out into all the
earth, and draw all men, all people unto Himself.
1 Peter 2:9-10
9
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath
called you out of darkness into his marvellous
light;
10
Which in time past were not a people, but are
now the people of God: which had not obtained
mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

So what I'm saying is turn your life over to Jesus,
and to your Heavenly Father, and let Him be your
Father on earth just as He is in heaven.

Then, watch what He does in your life

"Say God, I honor you."

A re you Stuck on Start with fulfilling your
God-given destiny in Christ?
Then, what I have to show you may have the
answers that you’ve been seeking.
Here’s “How To Stop The Never Ending Stuck
Cycle And Get Things Done in Jesus’ Name”
Warning: Hazardous to Procrastination, fear, and
confusion
Humility always proceeds promotion

James 4:6 - But he gives us more grace. That is
why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud
but gives grace to the humble.
It never ceases to amaze me just how awesome
God is. He is certainly not slack with His
promises. And to start of Breakthrough Principle
#1- “Humility always proceeds promotion” I want
to share with you a brief account of what happened
to me one day while I was away at school.

My Troubled story
I had been having a difficult time with my
finances. The money that my mom had sent up to
me didn’t arrive one time, and so I was really
scraping for change.

Anyhow, one evening, I decided to check to see if
the money that my mom had sent up was deposited
in my bank account. Sure enough, and to my
excitement, the money was in my account.

Excited and hungry at that time, I made haste to
get the money out of the ATM and headed over to
the nearest SUBWAY restaurant. I ordered a
footlong and a cookie and a drink.

I was totally surprised by what the Lord said
after this.

11 | P a g e


Now here’s where the meat of this Breakthrough
Principle comes into play. Are you ready? Okay.
Let’s go!
On my way back to my apartment, the Lord gently
tugged at my heart, and in my spirit, I sensed the
Lord saying, “Keep Walking.. Keep going on.”
This was strange. It didn’t fit into my logic, but I
knew that it was the Lord speaking to me- it was
undeniable. So right then and there, I made up my
mind that I would listen and obey His leading.

Matthew 23:12 - For whoever exalts himself will
be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will
be exalted.

Listen and Obey
Following the Holy Spirit’s direction, I crossed the
street, and walked onto the next block. Sure
enough, when I came to the end of that block, a
lady stopped me. She asked me if I had any money
so that she could get home!
Now I know that you can imagine just how excited
I was. Probably a half an hour ago, I wouldn’t
have been out there, and secondly I wouldn’t have
had the money!
Going back to the story...
So I gave her some money. And before leaving I
told her that I had come there just for her.
Matthew 18:4 - Therefore, whoever humbles
himself like this child is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven.

Humility in this story
I chose to tell you this story to highlight this
Breakthrough Principle. And I hope that you’ve
gathered at least two things.

They are:
1) Humility involves you laying down your
life in order to obey God.

12 | P a g e


It would have been an error on my part if I had
disobeyed the Lord. Often times the Lord tells us
to do crazy things (to us) and if we’re not humble,
we can put of things off just to save our egos.
“What would people say, “
“You know this is just ridiculous.”
“I’ve got to mentally justify this.”
These are just some of the thoughts that may keep
you stuck; constantly avoiding the leadings of the
Lord Jesus Christ in your life. By being humble,
you say, “Lord, I don’t fully understand
everything, but I’m going to do this based on Your
Word.”

2) Humility opens the door for God to get
something to you and through you.
The lady who the Lord led me to that day, could
have been praying to the Lord for help in getting
home. I don’t know. But what I do know is that by
my act of obedience to the Lord(who gave me the
strength to do so), the Lord could have gotten
through to her that He, the Lord Jesus Christ is the
Way and the Truth and the Life.

For they’ll know that we are His disciples by our
love.

Since that day forward, the Lord has been
confirming and developing in me the assurance
that I do hear His voice, and this has allowed me to
minister more effectively in His Name- to His
honor, praise and glory.

So heres’ the End of Breakthrough Principle
#1-“Humility always proceeds promotion.”

Great Take Aways-
13 | P a g e


 Humility always proceeds promotion

 Humility involves you laying down your
life in order to obey God.
 Humility opens the door for God to get
something to you and through you.
 By being humble to the Lord and His
leadings in your life you get to go from faith to
faith and from glory to glory, and success and
promotion by the Lord are inevitable.

You can’t not succeed when you’ve got God’s
Word and you abide in Him

"Say God, I trust you!"
There have been many times in my life, where I
just didn’t know how God was going to do it. But,
because He said it I knew that it was guaranteed to
come to pass.

I knew that God had something in store for me that
I couldn’t see because I needed to step into what
Jesus has promised me. I will never leave you or
forsake you.

Faithful is He Who is calling you [to Himself] and
utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it [fulfill
His call by hallowing and keeping you]. (1
Thessalonians 5:24)

My story: I had been praying for God to move
I had been praying and interceding for healings
and miracles to break out in my home country. I
spent minutes upon minutes praying in tongues,
seeking God for His direction, reading and
digesting His Word, and praying some more. Little
did I know, God had already answered my prayers,
and was waiting for me to abide in Him.

One day something happened. I started abiding in
His Word that by His stripes we were healed, and
that we would heal the sick in His Name.

A little boy in my class was under some incessant
sneezing. It was right around the time that we were
preparing to administer assessments to see how
our students were doing. So there, I was listening
to this boy in my class sneeze, and the Lord moved
me to pray for him. I must admit, it was a struggle,
but I submitted myself to God.

16 | P a g e


If we are faithless [do not believe and are untrue to
Him], He remains true (faithful to His Word and
His righteous character), for He cannot deny
Himself.(2 Timoth 2:13)
Oh, the Joys of Stepping out in Faith!
I said to him, “Come here. Let teacher pray for
you.”
The little boy came over and I prayed for him. I
put one hand on his chest, and the other on his
back. And I prayed that the cold would leave him
and the sneezing would stop so that he would be
able to complete his assignments without this
disturbing coughing.

When I was finished praying, I sent him back to
his seat.

I knew that something happened there, but I
waited to see.

Achew! The boy sneezed. Achew! He sneezed
again.

And brothers and sisters in Christ, I’m pleased to
say to the glory of God that was his last sneeze for
the entire day. Glory to God! Praise Jesus!
God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore
ever true to His promise, and He can be depended
on); by Him you were called into companionship
and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our
Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:9)

I mentioned this to you to highlight Breakthrough
Principle#2- “You can’t not succeed when you’ve
got God’s Word and abide in Him.”
His Word, the bible says, shall not return unto Him
void but shall prosper that for which it was sent.

In fact, the Lord watches over His Word to
perform it.

17 | P a g e


So many times, we get our eyes off the Truth,
Jesus Christ. Let’s keep our eyes on Him and know
that we can do all things through Christ who
strengthens us.
Yes, it may seem difficult(tell me about it!) But, as
you remain faithful in doing what God has called
you to do in and through His Son, Our Saviour and
Lord Jesus Christ, you will see the fruits of His
Word in your life, and He will be glorified!

Breakthrough Principle #3- A Poem

18 | P a g e


Here’s is a poem the Lord inspired me to write. I
pray that it will be a blessing to you in Jesus’
name. Amen.

“Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and
shield. (Psalm 33:20)”

Oh soul why are you discouraged, and why are
you perplexed along the way.

Know ye not that the Lord, your God is with you,
know ye not that He has the power to comfort and
to encourage; the Power to make the crooked
places straight and the dripping eyes still.

Oh soul, why are you disquieted and running from
the very Truth that will speak life to you.

“Why run from Me? Run to Me; run into My
everlasting arms and I will hold you, I will comfort
you. I will give you peace. Be still.

Be still and know that I am God, says the Lord.

Do you hear Him? Do you hear the bells
toll?“Enough My child, come into hiding with me.
Those who abide in the secret

Place of the Most High, shall abide under the
shadow of the Almighty.”

“And I will not let your foot dash against a stone. I
will lead you in paths of righteousness for my
Name’s sake.”
Take comfort in these words oh my soul. For the
Lord is not slow to act in His Love towards you.
Even now He prepares a table before you. Do you
see it? Do you perceive it?

“Hold fast to your profession of Faith in Me for I
will heal you and deliver you.”

Do what God says and you’ll have surety in
uncertainty

"God, I trust your every Word."

Are you well familiar of the account of the Lady
with the issue of blood. You would have heard it
some time or another in your lifetime because it is
a remarkable story of a woman who through many
of the struggles that she encountered in life pressed
through, touched Jesus and received her miracle.
This woman received her answer to years of this
issue of blood.

Where are you today? Do you find yourself
battling the same issues over and over, not really
reaching the place that you know God has called
you to in Christ?

What about that promotion, the vision of yourself
that you see over and over? What about that deep
desire to serve God that you've been praying about
for so long for God to bring to pass but it seems as
if you'll never get there?

Well, I want to show you from the Word of God
that it doesn't really matter how long it takes. You
have a sure Foundation in Jesus Christ. And What
He has promised to you shall come to pass. That's
a given! You just have to believe it!

Here's the Full Story.
21
Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat
to the other side, a great multitude gathered to
Him; and He was by the sea. 22 And behold, one of
the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name.
And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet 23 and
begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter
lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands
21 | P a g e


on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.”
24
So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude
followed Him and thronged Him.
25
Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for
twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things from
many physicians. She had spent all that she had
and was no better, but rather grew worse. 27 When
she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the
crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said,
“If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made
well.”
29
Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried
up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of
the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing
in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned
around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My
clothes?”
31
But His disciples said to Him, “You see the
multitude thronging You, and You say, ‘Who
touched Me?’”
32
And He looked around to see her who had done
this thing. 33 But the woman, fearing and
trembling, knowing what had happened to her,
came and fell down before Him and told Him the
whole truth. 34 And He said to her, “Daughter, your
faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be
healed of your affliction.(Mark 5:21-34)"

Here's the First thing that we can see from this
account.

1) She had the problem for Twelve years.
I don't know how long you've been asking God to
bring to pass what He has promised in your life. I
don't know how long to you've been asking God to
do something wonderful in your life to His honor
and to His glory. But what I do know is that this
account, if you've been waiting for a long time
should be confirmation that it doesn't matter how
long it has been, God is going to complete the
work that He has begun in you.
22 | P a g e


This woman had this issue of blood for a long
time. Twelve long years! Have you been waiting
Twelve years? Have you been waiting 18 years?
How about 2 months? Don't give up because God
will show up.

2) She had suffered many things of many
physicians and spent all that she had.
I don't know about you, but there have been many
times in my Christian walk where I felt drained-
just simply tired of waiting. I would have done
everything I could, but it seemed as if I just didn't
have what it takes. And let me tell you- I don't.
Jesus does!And it's the same with you- Jesus is the
One that will make the difference!

There are many who are around you who've
probably said to you that you need to try it this
way, or do things another way other than the way
that God instructed you.

And you've probably tried them, but you still know
deep down that God has a specific and fail-proof,
success-guaranteed way to do it. Well, you're right
in thinking that. It's His Word.

That's why In those times of uncertainty, don't
separate yourself from the Body of Christ, because
you need to keep on hearing about Jesus. This will
build your faith.

But equally important to hearing is doing! So
when you hear, Go! This is so important. Don't
wait, Go! And Find Him.

3) She Received her healing after she
touched the hem of Jesus' garment.
It's important to note here that it was a Word that
drew her to Jesus to receive her healing. This
actually illustrates to us the Truth that Faith comes
23 | P a g e


by hearing and hearing by the Word of
God(Romans 10:17)
Up until that point she had been hearing about
Jesus. The signs and wonders and healings that He
performed, and the teachings that He gave were
probably among the list of things she heard from
the people. The scripture isn't explicitly clear on
what the crowds told her or what she heard about
Jesus, but this is what we know- whatever she
heard sparked faith in her to go and touch him to
receive her healing!
28
For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I
shall be whole.( Mark 5:28)

And this is what will take you to the next level my
brother. This is what will take you to the next level
my sister.

FAITH. And it comes by hearing, and hearing by
the Word of God(Romans 10:17)
Here's a powerful secret that I want to share with
you. There are different members of the Body of
Christ, each given a grace to fulfil their God-given
purpose in the Body. The Body is meant by the
Lord Jesus Christ to build itself up.

What does this mean?

If you want to know about Faith, find a ministry
that focuses on Faith. If you want to learn about
Kingdom Finances, find a ministry, a member in
the Body that ministers on Kingdom Finances.
They've been placed in the Body for you to bless
them, and for them to bless you!
11
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some
prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and
teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the
work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of
Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith
24 | P a g e


and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a
perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be
children, tossed to and fro and carried about with
every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in
the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15 but,
speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all
things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16 from
whom the whole body, joined and knit together
by what every joint supplies, according to the
effective working by which every part does its
share, causes growth of the body for the
edifying of itself in love.(Ephesians 4:11-16)

You aren't in this alone.

Now here's what you do after you receive from the
members of the Body of Christ- You seek Jesus for
yourself. In doing this, you will take away
something for Jesus that He wants to download
into His Body. Yes... you are a member of the
Body of Christ and someone will come to you to
be edified in love!

As you grow up into Christ, into the place that
God has promised you and fulfil your desires that
God has given to you bring glory to Him, God will
bless you to be a blessing.

Hear me well on this. This is how you're going to
fulfil your calling. This is how you're going to rise
up. By Giving! By Sowing! By Giving into God's
work with all that is within you! How?

Through the Kingdom Principle of Sowing and
Reaping.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest,
and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and
day and night shall not cease.( Genesis 8:22)

25 | P a g e


6
Let him that is taught in the word communicate
unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7Be not
deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a
man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8For he that
soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of
the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9And let us not be
weary in well doing: for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not. 10As we have therefore
opportunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the household
of faith. (Galatians 6:6-10)

Let's look at that heading again shall we...

Do what God says and you’ll have surety in
uncertainty

It doesn't matter as we've just seen how difficult,
or how impossible your circumstances or situation
may look.( that woman tried everything in the
world, but when she came to Jesus her request was
answered.)

What does this mean for you?
Just keep on Sowing God's Word, ie, keep on
Sowing to the Spirit. Because you will reap
everlasting life. And indeed you will see the
blessing of God come upon you so strongly that
the Word you've sown will indeed be the Word
you'll reap!

Again, What this means is that you should keep on
sowing the Word that God has given you
concerning your destiny, keep on sowing it by
being a blessing to others, and especially the Body
of Christ based on that Word of who and where
God has called you to be. And remember
whatsoever a man sows... that shall He also reap.
So sow out of what God has given to you... it
26 | P a g e


doesn't matter how small or insignificant that you
think it may be, so it, and let God be glorified as
you bless others. He will in turn watch over His
Word that you too will reap the blessings you've
sown so that you can be an even greater blessing to
others in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ.

So sow the Word in the time that you give, in the
words that you speak, help a brother or sister along
the way. Give to the work of the Lord. Give of
your time to prayer and fasting(powerful)! Support
a brother or sister who's having a difficult time
doing what you do best.
This is a really good place to say this-
Draw nigh to God and He will draw night to you!

Keep on Sowing that Word!

The woman persisted and she got her answer from
Jesus- "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole;
go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."

That will be the Lord's Answer to you, for your
frustrations will be ended as your faithfulness and
persistence in love will be answered by wholeness
and peace as you enter into what God has
promised to you.

Do what God says (Keep on Sowing His Word)
and you’ll have surety in uncertainty(The Sure
Hope of Reaping What He has Promised in His
Word)

Jesus will never leave you or forsake you

"God, your mercies are new every morning. I
just have to get up in Jesus' name and start
again."
Today is a new day.

A new day. A new day. A new day! I made sure to
mention “A new day” emphatically because very
often we get stuck on the past worrying about what
we could havd done better, and what we would
have done better had we been given another
chance, another shot at it.

Do you remember what Jesus told the man who
wanted to follow Him? This man wanted to follow
the King of kings and the Lord of lords but He was
still worrying about what was in the country. The
man was worrying about what he had where he
was. This man was still concerned with the things
of this world.

But he was going to follow the King of kings; had
he known who he was following he would have
forsaken the things worrying about what he had in
the country. He would have forsaken everything to
follow Jesus because then he would have known
that Jesus had all the power and authority to
provide all his needs, just as Jesus had fed and
filled the five thousand men excluding women and
children. This man would have known that Jesus
had the power to cure every disease and sickness
just as He had been doing all throughout Israel.
This man would have know that Jesus could
provide the finances needed to fulfil God’s will
and purpose for his life on earth. Jesus had already
proven this as He gave directions to Peter to go
and find the fish which had the gold coin in its
mouth. Peter used it to pay the taxes of both Jesus
and himself. Had this man known who Jesus is he
29 | P a g e


would have left everything and followed Him with
out any hesitation. But he didn’t know The Truth.

And so Jesus had to tell him something. Do you
remember what that was? Let’s look at it here:

“18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes about
Him, He gave a command to depart to the other
side. 19 Then a certain scribe came and said to
Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You
go.” 20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes
and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man
has nowhere to lay His head.” 21 Then another of
His disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go
and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus said to him,
“Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.
(Matthew 8:18-22)”

In other words, Jesus was saying, come follow Me.
In Me there is Life. I have come to give you life,
and life more abundantly.
When you follow Jesus and believe in Him, He’ll
take you out of the darkness into the Light. He’ll
take you places that the dead can never go. You’ll
know the truth and the truth will make you free.
You’ll lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.
I know that I’ve said it before, but you’ll have life
and life more abundantly. With Jesus you’ll have
joy.

Going through a hardship? Is Jesus with you?
Have you accepted Him as Lord and Saviour of
your life? Do you have the Spirit of Christ within
you? Then you’re going to be going places that the
dead can’t go.

Need money to buy food or pay the rent, or start a
new ministry? You have Jesus. Dont’ look at what
you don’t have. Instead focus on God, your Father.
Our Father owns all the cattle on a thousand hills.

30 | P a g e


The bible declares that the earth is the Lord’s and
the fullness thereof.

Because of what Our Lord Jesus Christ has done
for us in coming into this world, dying on the cross
to save us from our sins, taking the keys of death,
hell and the devil, resurrecting Himself to life from
the dead, ascending to the right hand of God Our
Father, interceding on our behalf, and in His name
giving us the power and authority to advance the
cause of the Kingdom of God and fulfil the great
commission, we have absolutely nothing to worry
about. With Faith in God through Jesus Christ our
Lord we have the power to be victorious in every
area of our lives.

I’m reminded of that classic hymn that many of us
have grown to become fond of. Here it is. Just read
those words.

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
Refrain
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,
And give Him the glory, great things He has done.
Now, The question that many ask, and probably
what that man that wanted to follow Jesus was
asking, is how do I get all my needs met, and how
do I live the life that You came to give me Jesus?

31 | P a g e


Put another way, we may be asking God, How do I
live the worry-free and abundant life that Jesus
came to give us? Jesus answers that when He says,

““Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor
about your body, what you will put on. Is not life
more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow
nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than
they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one
cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing?
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:
they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you
that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the
grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is
thrown into the oven, will He not much more
clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall
we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall
we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the
Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows
that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the
kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all
these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore
do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day
is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:25-34)”

Today, you don’t have to worry. Don’t worry about
what’s apparently going wrong in your life. God
knows. Don’t worry about how your family will
stay afloat during times of high gas prices, and
high food prices. God knows. He can provide a
way when there is no way. Don’t worry about how
your ministry is going to stay afloat? God knows.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which
hath begun a good work in you will perform it
until the day of Jesus Christ”

So here’s the end of Breakthrough Principle #6:
“Jesus will never leave you or forsake you.”
Great Take Aways:
 Today is a new day in the Lord.
 Jesus is with you always
 In Jesus there is life and life abundantly
 You don’t have to worry and try to get all
your needs met at once. He will meet your needs
as you follow Him. There is beauty in the process
as you go from faith to faith and from glory to
glory in Him.
 “Be confident of this very thing, that he
which hath begun a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Pre-occupy your self with what God says
instead of what man says, or will say.

"God, you always have the first and final say in
my life, so I'll always go with you."

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve remained
stuck in the same position because I was too busy
being preoccupied with man says and what I
thought they would say instead of being
preoccupied with what God says and will say.

It’s so easy at times to let your desire for
acceptance be diverted in the wrong way- to
receive that from man instead of from God. It’s so
easy to seek the praise of man instead of the praise
of God. The Bible says that he who is friends with
the world is an enemy of God.

God has a great and powerful plan for your life,
overflowing with the satisfying of His perfect will
for your life and your desires.

Jesus says, 9"As the Father has loved me, so have I
loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you obey
my commands, you will remain in my love, just as
I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain
in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy
may be in you and that your joy may be
complete.”

You see the Lord Jesus Christ wants to complete
your joy. He wants you to have life and life more
abundantly. But you’ve got to abide in Him, and
you’ve got to trust Him to make good of His
promises because He will. He always does.

I was for some time unemployed.

35 | P a g e


I wanted so badly to make people like me that I
had to restrain myself many times from going out
and getting a job. It wasn’t God’s timing.
I finally got a job. I got the okay.
While there I was given a very important job to do.
Things began to fall apart.

I learned a very important lesson- in order to do
what God has called you to do- you’ve got to be
able to stand up and be grounded in the foundation
that He has given you, the only foundation that can
be laid- Jesus Christ!

Jesus defies the norm to establish God’s will and
purpose in the earth. If you don’t intend to shake
things up, then this isn’t for you. If you don’t
intend to glorify God by letting your light shine
then this isn’t for you.

But if you do, then here are some of the things that
I want you to pay close attention to from this
Breakthrough Principle: Pre-occupy your self with
what God says instead of what man says, or will
say.

36 | P a g e



37 | P a g e


You’ve got to let go and Let God and when You
do, you'll see the vision that He has given to you
for your life come to pass in Jesus' Name.

"God, I trust you. Work out your good and
perfect will in my life."

My name is Quinson Thomas(duh). And I am a
Christian. I love the Lord Jesus Christ with
everything that is within me, and I have been so
for most of my life. But there came a point in my
life where I knew that this love had to be poured
out and expressed in ways that I could hardly
imagine. And in pouring out this love, I’m talking
about fulfilling your God-given destiny, your
calling in Christ.

My beginnings
My story begins not with the white picket fence or
the mowed lawn, but with the Word of God. I
knew that God had called me to do something
special, to shine my light for all to see my good
works and glorify my Father in heaven, but the
way that God presented it to me was not the way
that I wanted.

You see, I’ve always wanted to be a doctor. I can
clearly remember kneeling down at a table that
held my older brother’s school books and saying
that I wanted to be doctor. And that’s what I
pursued. I had great grades all through school;
even up to the first two years of Community
College.

Then, the time came to send out applications to
schools abroad. I had been focusing on applying to
schools in the UK and so I used the UCAS
application system.

38 | P a g e


But, along the way something really unexpected
happened! I missed the application deadlines. I
mean, I had been there searching the pages, and I
believed that I had the right date, but as I later
discovered that wasn’t it! I was annoyed, disturbed
and frustrated. But while perplexed, I was not
without hope. I had the LORD- He is my Hope.

Around this time the Lord began speaking to me
even more clearly about what He had called me to
do in Christ. But, I didn’t want to listen. Nosiree!
The Lord was calling me to full-time ministry. I
thought, I can’t be a pastor. Woah, Lord. To much
responsibility.

Little did I know at the time... the Lord wasn’t
calling me to just be a pastor.. He had much more
than that for me. Three times, the Lord called to
me through the words of men of God on TBN, but
I didn’t listen. I knew that they were speaking to
me, because every time I turned on the television,
the Holy Spirit used them to call out to me. But, I
was stubborn.

And so the Story Continues...
So, I applied to a very prestigious school in the
USA and was accepted. I thought, maybe it wasn’t
God that I was hearing. But I was wrong. Every
turn since then has been hard and trying. It was as
if my steps were not being prospered by the Lord.

My good grades, went from good to mediocre to
abysmal. And I sought the Lord earnestly day and
night. And in the night-watches the Lord would
remind me that this was not His best for my life. I
had to go back home to the place that He had
called me.

And so after many tears and frustration and
questions I returned home to fulfil the ministry and

39 | P a g e


calling that He had upon my life. And here I am
today, talking to you.

What does my story have to do with anything?
I’ll tell you! There is a new breed of destiny
chasers in town. These are people who don’t take
mediocrity for an answer. These are those who
want their light to shine to bring glory to God our
Father through our Lord Jesus Christ! These are
people have been pushed down, and upset, and
frustrated, but are still pressing on because they
know that the Lord had called them to do
something special.

The Lord had to take me out of the world
system and set me apart because there is a
company of mighty warriors that will
transform this world in ways that we can
hardly imagine.

The scope and the impact of these mighty
warriors, these destiny chasers was to great for the
Lord to leave me to do what I wanted.

The Lord had to bring me to the place of realizing
that there was much at stake. And glory to God,
I’m glad that He did. And this book that has taken
about 2 years of experience and the Lord’s
impartation and training to develop is finally here.
This is book is what I call a breakthrough book.

But before I introduce the book, let me speak to
you. And if you’ve read this far, I believe you’re a
member of this new breed of Destiny chasers in
the Body of Christ.

You are not crazy!
I can’t tell you how many times I have been told
that I’ve lost a screw or that what God has
promised me is impossible or that I should

40 | P a g e


continue to do things the way that everyone else
has been doing things.

And the most frustrating part of it all is that these
words of disappointment and disapproval have
been coming from those closest to me- my
immediate family and friends. But, can I tell you
the truth? Jesus Christ is Lord! And everything that
God has promised you shall come to pass as you
abide in Him.

I want to comfort you of the truth that the Lord
revealed to me in His Word,
34
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace
to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a
sword. 35 For I have come to turn
" 'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law -
36
a man's enemies will be the members of his
own household.'[e]
37
"Anyone who loves his father or mother more
than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his
son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
38
and anyone who does not take his cross and
follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds
his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for
my sake will find it. (Matthew10: 34-39)

You see if you’re ever going to go up higher,
you’ve got to be able to trust in the Lord
completely.

You have to let go and let God.

Even your family and friends at times won’t
understand what the Lord has for you because

41 | P a g e


they’ve only seen the you that you’ve been in the
past. They can’t accept the you that God says that
you will be. And so when the Lord Jesus says that
He came to send a sword... He’s talking there
about the Word of God that sets you apart from
those around you, so that you can soar to the
heights that God intends for you. In other words,
in order to do what God created you in Christ
Jesus to do, you must be fully committed to the
cause of Christ, and in so doing, those around you
who later on see your light will know that it is God
who promoted you.
So to second this... you’re not crazy!

God’s word is Truth, and it shall come to pass!
I don’t know exactly what God has called you to
do, but I do know that it will bring Him lots and
lots of glory! And I do know that along the way,
you’ve probably become frustrated concerning the
length of time concerning it. I must comfort you
and tell you that it will not all come at once, but
little by little, and step by step. There’s a
transformative work that God has to bring you
through to be able to reach that place of promise.

But, be encouraged in this: as you let go and let
God you will begin to see small victories that will
prepare you and keep you motivated as you run the
race onto the bigger and greater things in the Lord.
This is the scripture that the Lord has been
highlighting to me in the course of writing this
book...

You can do all things through Christ who
strengthens you

42 | P a g e


No one probably expected me at the age of 19 to
host my own ministry broadcast on the most
listened to radio station in the British Virgin
Islands. I could barely make ends meet. Sure, I
paid off the first 3 or so broadcasts on time, but
without a job it would seem impossible to do so,
but I did so through Christ who strengthened me.

Then when I got a job, even though the hassles
weren’t over I was able to use the Wisdom and the
Faith that the Lord had equipped me with to make
greater strides in Him.

No one expected me to have an online ministry,
but it was what God had called me to, and He
equips His children as they abide in Him!
So, here’s what I’m saying to you...

Let go and let God be in control of your life.

He has great plans for you.
(Jeremiah 29:11) I know the plans that I have for
you, says the Lord; plans for your good and not for
your evil; to give you a future with an expected
end.

I didn’t get here over night. That’s not the way that
God works. He does things step upon step; precept
upon precept so that when you get to the place He
has promised you that you’ll be able to stand in the
full weight and authority of that position and say,

Look what my God has done.
The ‘secret’ (so to speak) is to trust in God and
obey!
You have to Let go and let God!

Gather by Labour and You Shall Increase!
"God, you've promised to never leave me or
forsake me."

This chapter is going to be short but powerful,
so pay close attention
I’d like to share with you a quick story and then
I’m going to really bring this breakthrough
principle home. Is that okay with you? Good.

Let’s imagine this for a moment. You’re a movie
producer. You’re a Christian movie producer. And
up until the time that the Lord sent you into
Hollywood, there have been no movies or
productions on the level or scale that you’ve been
producing.

No other movie, presents the Gospel message
boldly and without reproach but yours. You’ve had
two of these brilliant movies, and lives have been,
changed. Hearts have been touched. Many have
received the gift of God-salvation.
You’ve been announcing your new release since
January.

It’s now 5:00pm Saturday morning in April.
People all over the world are wondering why you
haven’t produced the film that they had been
praying about. People all over the world are
wondering why you haven’t produced the film that
they were planning to bring their unsaved loved
ones to watch.

People all over the world are wondering why you
haven’t put your film into theatres when you’ve
promised to do so in February, 2 months ago.
People all over the world don’t know how they’re
going to tell their grandchildren when they ask
about the movie that the whole family was going
to watch.
46 | P a g e


But you’re in your office complaining about what
should have happened. You’re in your office
praying to God when He’s already told you that
He’ll handle it, and that you need to work to bring
things through. You’re in your office thinking
about what you could do had you been given the
chance.

And the thing is: you do! You have that chance
right now. But you don’t want to do the work that
God has called you to do.

You say, “Sit down and right a book?” That’s too
much Lord. Just send someone with the money.
The Lord says, You said you wanted me to use
you. I do Lord but send the money. And the Lord
replies and says “Seek first My Kingdom and my
righteousness and all these things shall be added
unto you as well.”

And you say, “Let’s try something else.”

The problem in the Church today
The problem in the Church today is not that
people don’t have enough faith for things. The
problem is, their faith is dead. Because they’re not
willing to work for the things that they have faith
for.

Ask any successful Christian. It doesn’t matter
what they do. It doesn’t matter if they’re a
business coach, apostle, healing evangelist, public
speaker or janitor. They’ll all tell you this- Faith
without works is dead.

Even miracles have to be worked. Yes, God gives
you the power to do it, but you’ve got to apply the
power to the place that God has called you to
apply it through labour as His Holy Spirit leads
you, through work in order to receive it. No one
47 | P a g e


pays attention to the healing evangelist when
he/she has to get the conference hall booked, and
the pressure that goes along with that.

No one sees her she has to work and earn a living
to afford the things that she needs. And no one sees
the hours of prayer, and acting in faith that she has
to do every night before during and after the
healing conference or crusade. No one sees the
struggle. But we look on the television, and we see
the healing evangelist and we say, that looks good.
I would love to have a ministry like that.” You can.
Ask for it and it shall be yours in Jesus Name. But
are you willing to put your hand to the plough and
never look back. Are you willing to face the
demonic spirits that will try to shut down your
work in the Lord when you go out on stage every
night? Are you willing to work to earn the money
that is needed.

Sure brother, I hear you. But people give
donations to the work of the Lord. Oh yes they
do. And I’m not counting that out. But you have
to do work if you’re going to add something to
advance the Kingdom of God in all the earth. If
you’re not willing to do the work, what will others
add money to? If you’re not giving of that which
God has given to you in the way that He tells you,
then how can the Lord add to your slothfulness,
and laziness?

If you’re not doing the work that God has called
you to do, then you’re not seeking first His
Kingdom and His righteousness, and the other
things that will help you to fulfil your call won’t
be added unto you because you’ve not been doing
what God has called you to do. And until you do,
the promises that He has given to you will not be
apparent in your life to the benefit of others.

48 | P a g e


For it is only when you shine your light before
men that they’ll be able to see your good works
and glorify your Father in heaven. The Church
today is full of a lot of slothful thinking that
sounds right, but it is far from what God has said
in His word.

There are those who say that if God wants it to
happen it will. And the answer is yes. It will. He’s
sovereign, but He will move upon the hearts of
men to do so. The talent was taken from the
slothful, lazy man to the one who had 10 talents-
the one who sought first the Kingdom of his Lord
and to be in right standing with him.
God’s purpose will prevail, but He co-labours
with His people.
7
So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he
who waters, but God who gives the increase. 8
Now he who plants and he who waters are one,
and each one will receive his own reward
according to his own labor.
9
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s
field, you are God’s building.(1 Corinthians 3:7-9)
You have a part to play. You have to start
ploughing the fields in prayer. You have to start
getting things rolling.

If you look at all the miracles and healings that
Jesus did, you would notice that none of them
were done for people who didn’t add works to
their faith or add works to their faith on behalf
of someone else.

You see God didn’t give you His Holy Spirit, for
nothing.
The problem is: too many in the Church are living
as if it's not going to take work, sweat and possibly
some tears to get there. But, nothing could be
further from the truth!
49 | P a g e


It’s going to take work on your part.

Jesus says in Matthew 6:33
33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His
righteousness, and all these things shall be added
to you

This means that if you seek His Kingdom, if you
seek to be in righteousness, joy and peace in the
Holy Spirit(Romans 14:17) and with that you seek
to be in right relationship with Him, doing as He
says, and being led by Him, then the "all these
things" will be added to you.

This means that you don't start and then stop. It
means that you should seek, and not just look. It
means that you get involved with Him and what
He has going for your life, and He'll get involved
in your life.

So if you see a brother or sister getting along well,
don't just bless them, join them in their hard work,
because it is hard and diligent work, led by the
Holy Spirit that will bring you to that place that
God has been showing you all the time.

Let me end with this... stop just looking... and start
seeking. Do the work!

Gather by Labour and You Shall Increase!

"God, I know you know what's best for me, so

Breakthrough Principle #9-
Live by God’s Word and not by feelings and
false beliefs.
Too often what holds us back are false thoughts
and beliefs that the devil has tried to keep us
victim to in order to steal, kill and destroy God’s
plan and purpose for our lives in Christ. But, I’ve
got great news. Jesus came that you may have life
and life more abundantly.

So for this Breakthrough Principle I want us to
take a look at how destructive false beliefs can be
to fulfilling the call that God has on your life. Then
we’ll be looking at some common false beliefs that
limit growth in the Lord so as to replace them with
the Word of God.

To jumpstart our look at Breakthrough Principle
let’s look at the life of Moses.
1
1) Then Moses answered and said, “But
suppose they will not believe me or listen to my
voice; suppose they say, ‘The LORD has not
appeared to you.’(Exodus 4:1)”

Have you ever taken the time out to sit down and
wonder whether or not people would believe you
when you tell them that God sent you to preach
His Word, or sing, or heal the sick, or write a
book?

Well, if you’re like I was and how many people
are, you think about this often. Maybe you think
about how many people will believe you all the
time. Do you get the feeling that they’ll just think
that you’re joking, or you’re not good enough for
God to send you?

52 | P a g e


Moses, got similar thoughts. He didn’t think that
people would believe him, or pay him any
attention. Moses probably thought that people
would dismiss him as outright crazy. But before
you think that Moses’ thoughts had no backing, I
want you to think about what actually took place
when Moses went out and did what God had called
Him to do.

But as with Moses God will never you leave nor
forsake you. God doesn’t want you to keep things
on hold. Don’t doubt Him. Have Faith in Him,
because He will bring it to pass. That’s why the
Holy Spirit is here with you and in you. Praise The
Lord Jesus Christ.

He’s here to comfort you and to empower you to
burst through the barriers of limitations that you
and others have put on you, and show forth the
praises of God who has called you out of darkness
into His marvellous light. As you’ll soon see, God
will not leave you powerless!

Back to Moses- Exodus 4:1-5
1
Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose
they will not believe me or listen to my voice;
suppose they say, ‘The LORD has not appeared to
you.’”
2
So the LORD said to him, “What is that in your
hand?”
He said, “A rod.”
3
And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast
it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and
Moses fled from it. 4 Then the LORD said to
Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the
tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it,
and it became a rod in his hand), 5 “that they may
believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the
God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
Jacob, has appeared to you.”

53 | P a g e


Glory to God! In the earlier part of the passage we
see Moses trying to get all the sureties out of the
way. But, look at what the Lord said to him- What
is in your hand? God didn’t look at things the way
Moses did.

Moses was looking at what he didn’t have. God
looked at what He had given to Moses, and what
He could do with what Moses had been given.
Then we see the Lord telling Moses to cast it to the
ground. When Moses cast it to the ground it
became a serpent. We see two things here:

a) Moses first had to cast the rod to the
ground.

This is the time when many pack up and say, this
is crazy! But, God wants you to know that you will
never go there alone, you’ve got Him to back you
up. So Yes, Moses had to swallow his pride so to
speak, and cast a lowly, old, tired rod to the
ground. No power in the rod. By the sights of
things, things don’t look to promising, but adding
the power of God by His Spoken word, the
harmless rod, becomes a serpent.

b) God will use the foolish things of this
world to confound the wise.
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! Thinking back on all
the things that The Lord has brought me through,
my spirit leaps with joy and expectancy in writing
this for it is when we’re weak that we’re made
strong. For without Him we can do nothing. But
with Jesus, in Jesus and through Jesus Christ we
can do all things for He strengthens us!

Moses had to throw the rod on the ground. That’s
the foolish thing. You starting that business that the
Lord has been talking to you about in a world-
wide recession- that’s the foolish thing. You-

54 | P a g e


laying hands on the sick for them to recover- that’s
the foolish thing.

You- shouting out the name of Jesus in a busy
market-square- that’s the foolish thing. You
believing that you can do all things through Christ
who strengthens you – the world sees this as
foolish. But we know different!

Moses threw down the rod and it became a
serpent. When you trust in the Lord and throw
down your rod it will become like that serpent,
able to strike fear in the hearts of the enemy- the
devil- and witness to the fact that the Lord is with
you.
God’s not only going to give you His Word, but
He’s going to confirm His Word with power.

So instead of worrying about whether or not
people will receive you or believe you, focus your
eyes on Jesus knowing that He will never leave
you or forsake you; knowing that He will empower
you to go forth and shine your light for people to
see your good works and glorify your Father who
is in heaven.

I’m reminded by the Lord of a powerful verse of
scripture. I’ll leave you to meditate on these words
as we continue on our look at this principle. Here
it is:
“20
For the kingdom of God is not in word but in
power.(1Corinthians 4:20)

Here are some false beliefs that we should
dispel right now.
Ready?

1) If I do what God asked me to do then those
around me will forsake me.
-NOT TRUE- The Lord may move upon their
hearts or they may fall away, but always think “but
55 | P a g e


as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
You house includes all those that you come in
contact with. Your conviction should be all of us-
all my friends, co-workers, and family will serve
the Lord.

And it may very well start with you stepping out
and shining your light for men to see your good
works and glorify your Father in heaven. You may
not be a pulpit preacher but with the vision that
God has given to you for your life you can be sure
of this- You'll be a making a significant and lasting
impact on the lives of others to the honor and glory
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

2) If people don’t like everything that I do, then
I’m failing God.
-NOT TRUE- Serve God, and He’ll take care of
the rest. He who wants to be the greatest in the
Kingdom of heaven must be the servant of all.
Very often as you serve, the darkness will put up a
fight, but it has no match for the Light, for the
Light will always overcome darkness. Greater is
He that is in you than He that is in the world. Read
what our Lord and Saviour says.
18
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated
me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would
love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to
the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
That is why the world hates you. 20Remember the
words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than
his master.'[b] If they persecuted me, they will
persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching,
they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this
way because of my name, for they do not know the
One who sent me. 22If I had not come and spoken
to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now,
however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23He
who hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had
not done among them what no one else did, they
56 | P a g e


would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen
these miracles, and yet they have hated both me
and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is
written in their Law: 'They hated me without
reason. (John15:18-25)

If I fail then I fail all together.
-NOT TRUE- God has the final say. You know it’s
not easy trying to do everything in your own
power- actually you can do NOTHING in your
own power. But as you let Jesus take over, and let
Him be the captain of your ship, let Him calm the
stormy seas, let Him be LORD and KING of your
life, then the difficulty will subside. You may fall
down, but He’ll pick you back up again. Jesus is
there to comfort you and to empower you to do the
impossible. Even what may seem as failure in
man’s eyes, God looks at it, as a stepping block for
He makes all things work together for the good of
them who love the Lord and are called according
to His purpose. Remember Philippians 4:13. You
can do all things through Christ who strengthens
you.

What people say determine how good I’ve done
in ministry
-NOT TRUE- It’s what God says. Can darkness
dictate what light is supposed to be? Of course
not! But can LIGHT, dictate what light is supposed
to be? Of course! In the same way it is God, our
Father, who is the Father of lights (1James17-18),
that should be the One that you aim to please. And
you do this by exercising the Faith that He has
given you in the Love that He has shed abroad in
your hearts by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Why would you doubt God when He speaks to
you? You know it, because it’s the same voice
that called you to Him.

57 | P a g e


At times, we are faced with difficult situations,
situations that seem to want to arrest our whole
attention. But we must know that we have not been
called to bondage to the things of this world, for
where the Spirit of the Lord is there is
Liberty(2Corinthinas 3:17). The Spirit of the Lord,
the Holy Spirit is within you, making sure that you
walk in the peace and liberty that Jesus died and
rose to give you. He does this by speaking to you,
declaring what belongs to our Lord Jesus Christ to
you, guiding you into all truth. And it is in these
times that the storms of life arise that God says,
“Peace be still. I am with you.” That’s all we need
to know. The Lord is with us. Come hail or high
water, sun or rain, the Lord is with us! AND He’ll
never ever leave us or forsake us.

Why doubt the Lord Jesus Christ, when going
through trials when the going gets tough? The
same way you have received Him- by grace
through faith, is the same way that you receive
Him to take control of your life’s situations and
to bring you out safely on the other side.

Did we have to prove ourselves worthy before God
in order to receive salvation? No! We simply had
to receive the gift that the Lord had called us to.

We don’t have to work, and strive and get
ourselves all worked up to receive from God, all
we’ve got to do is exactly what He has called us to
do- nothing more and nothing less.

This is to say that you don't work, but God works
in and through you by His grace
10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His
grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored
more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the
grace of God which was with me (1 Corinthians
15:10)
58 | P a g e


That’s why Our Lord Jesus Christ says, seek ye
first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness
and all these things shall be added unto you.

It’s because as we seek the righteousness, and joy
and peace in the Holy Spirit, in whose presence
there’s liberty (2 Corinthians3:17), we’ll have the
deep assurance and hope that the Lord has given
us everything that pertains to life and godliness.

“His divine power has given us everything we
need for life and godliness through our knowledge
of him who called us by his own glory and
goodness.”(2 Peter 1:3)

When we receive of God by grace through faith
we eliminate the need to strive for things that He
has not called us to and we come to know what the
psalmist David knew when inspired by the Holy
Spirit said,
” 25 I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendants begging bread.
(Psalm37:25)

Breakthrough Principle#10
You can do all things through Christ who
strengthens you.
"Jesus I will trust you. You'll never leave me or
forsake me"

Let's talk about someone you should know- the
Apostle Paul
Who was the Apostle Paul? The Apostle Paul is
the man who by the inspiration of God was led by
the Holy Spirit to write about two-thirds of our
New Testament. So, many of the books that you
see in the Word of God have been written by the
inspiration of God, by Apostle Paul.

Now Paul didn’t come to this place of being a
great teacher, or of being a great apostle without
going through his own struggles, without going
through his difficulties, without going through
tough and testing times just as you do.

Question
What is your greatest struggle today?
_________________________________________

60 | P a g e


What’s the difficulty or problem that you go to bed
thinking about?
_________________________________________
_________________________________________
______________________________________
What’s that one thing that makes you feel boxed in
and helpless?
_________________________________________
_________________________________________
______________________________________
(It’s very important that you answer these
questions . These will help you grab a hold of
what’s contained in the following passages.)

________________________________________
Now, what was Paul’s background? Let’s see
Paul’s background. Paul as we know was among
the religious people there in the time. He was one
of the people that were persecuting the church. (at
this time he was also called Saul) He was a
persecutor of the very thing that God had called
him to later on in his life.

Those who were with him, do you think that
they thought much of Paul? Well, yes and no.

Yes in terms of what he could do in the religious
society and those who at that time were not being
led by the Spirit of God.

Yes, in the world system.

Yes, he could move like everyone else in the
group.

Yes, he could persecute.

Yes, he could tackle the Christians like every one
else in the group.

61 | P a g e


They probably thought that he would always be
like them in the world’s system. They probably
saw him to be in their comfort zone- somebody
that they could associate with.

Even though Paul was a very learned man, Paul
was a part of that system.

They probably didn’t believe that he would
encourage them or provoke them to do good works
through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and
glorify God.

They probably thought that he would continue
with them in persecuting the church-in persecuting
those who are acting by faith to do the will of God.

They probably thought that he would rather be like
them, that he would forever persecute the church
and persecute those who were going after what
God had called them to do.

Have you ever been thought of like this?
These men who were Paul's peers probably though
that the man would continually be like them and
not glorify God, not launch-out by faith and not do
something different.

They probably thought that he would stay in their
mould- that he would stay in their comfort zone.
That’s probably what they thought. But like we all
have, Paul had the Damascus road experience that
changed everything.

After the scales fell off from his eyes, we see Paul
go out and do something different. We see Paul go
out and glorify God.
The question is, have your scales falling off your
eyes? I believe so. You are here reading this
book.

62 | P a g e


I believe that God has called you and I know that
you know that God has called you.

You are going to face struggles and you are
going to face tough times, but know this, that
you shall overcome in Jesus' Name.

Now, knowing that you shall overcome; knowing
and seeing with your eyes open and your scales
off, what will you do about that? What will you do
with the call and purpose of God for your life
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?

What did Paul do? He went about preaching the
gospel. He went about being a fisher of men. He
went about preaching and healing the sick. He
went about doing the things that God had called
him to do.

Was he faced with opposition?

Did he have struggles like you and I?

Yes, he did. I want you to see one of the struggles
that Paul had to face. And it’s a struggle that many
of us can relate it to. It's that struggle where we
feel almost as if we're in a box and we can't get
out.

In this box, we try so hard to break through but
with the little release, after a while everything
seems to fall down flat and we're in the prison of
this box of limitations. It is as if everything that we
do seems to be ineffective. Things seem as though
they're not working, but Paul in his life reveals to
us the "formula" to our breakthrough.

The Word of God in Paul's account shows us a
missing leg to the victory to the problems that
we face. Yes, our victory is through faith, but then
there is something that builds faith.
63 | P a g e


There is something that builds faith and when we
come in to that communion and that relationship
with God our faith is built.

When we come to the place that Paul came to,
where we are feeling as if we are in a box and we
can’t get out, God has given us a solution and we
will see it in the Word today. And so to do that I
want you to turn with me to Acts chapter 16.
25
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and
singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners
were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such
a violent earthquake that the foundations of the
prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors
flew open, and everybody's chains came loose.
27
The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison
doors open, he drew his sword and was about to
kill himself because he thought the prisoners had
escaped. 28But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself!
We are all here!" (Acts 16:25-28)
We see two things here- Prayer and Praise. Prayer
and Praise- two things that the religious people in
the society don’t do, because it causes a shaking, it
causes a rumbling, it causes a stirring up, it causes
a revealing of the power of God. But most
importantly, fervent prayer and praise indicate
Who You Trust, and who's hands you have placed
your life into.

When we pray and when we praise, the bible says
here that the prisoners heard them.

The bible says that the Lord inhabits the praises of
His people (Psalm 22:3).

We know that some demons only come out by
prayer and fasting and so what I want tell to you, is
that if you are in a place where you you feel boxed
in, pray. Pray fervently and couple that with praise
64 | P a g e


and you will see a rumbling, you will see a
shaking of the very things that are trying to keep
you bound.

And the Bible says in Acts 16 starting at verse 26,
"And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so
that the foundations of the prison were shaken.”

The very things that kept you bound and the very
things that were trying to hold you down are those
things that are going to be shaken- the foundations
of those things.

This means, the root of the problem will be set on
shaky ground. When you pray and praise, the
prison doors that have kept you bound, and the
gates that have kept you bound, or the prison walls
that have kept you bound will be opened in Jesus'
name.

Acts 16:26, "And suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison
were shaken: and immediately all the doors were
opened, and every one's bands were loosed.”

You see, Paul's and Silas' prayers and praise to
God resulted in the loosing of the bands that kept
others in bondage.

You see, when God calls you there is a release that
takes place for others. There is a release of strong
holds that many have been bound to that takes
place- there is a breaking of those bonds. When
you pray and praise God, with everything that is
within you, you will see those things go. You will
start to see them being broken off others who God
has called you to serve, and the chains will also be
broken off you. You will see the very foundations
of that prison shake. You will see it shake in Jesus'
name.

65 | P a g e


Let's pray, right now.
Father, I thank you for your Word. I thank you for
those who are reading. And Father I pray even
now that those things that have kept them bound
will be broken off of them now in Jesus name,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
Father, I thank you for your goodness and I thank
for your power.

Father even now I send the Word, I send the Word
right now and Father I pray that they would
receive it now in Jesus name, that all things are
possible for him who believes, and that they can
do all things through Jesus Christ strengthens
them. Father, I break the prison from over them
and I break the bands of fear from over their lives.
Father, I break every demonic strong hold that has
kept them in prison in Jesus name. Thank You,
Father. Thank You Father and Father I pray even
now that Your will will be done in their lives. I
pray Lord that their faith will be strengthened and
Father I pray they would go forth in power in Jesus
name. Amen.
God bless you. God bless you. God bless you.

Breakthrough Principle #11:
Look Through Eyes of Faith!
"God, Help Me to See Things the way that You
see them."
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid
them not, to come to me: for of such is the
kingdom of heaven.

In a dog-eat-dog world it is very often not easy to
find those who will help you when you’re down. It
at times seems unbearable when you don’t have
the answers to a problem because many times
people are glad for your misfortune.

But God in His Wisdom and providence placed
His children in the world to bring about the culture
of heaven on the earth. “Thy Kingdom come, thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

So what are Christians called to do? Are we
supposed to sit by when our friends and co-
workers, and strangers we meet flounder about
without any help to get over the hurdles they have
faced in life?

Are we supposed to sit by idle as a drunken man in
or midst robs a store and is sentenced to prison?
Should we just say to ourselves, “Well, he do it.
That isn’t any of my business.

I ain’t got nothing to do with that. I just have to
make sure that my children ain’ get themselves
into that mess that those people got themselves
into”? The answer to that is No. We should be
binding up the broken-hearted, preaching
deliverance to those in bondage, and opening blind
eyes both spiritually and physically. And to do this,
we need to be loving, kind and gentle.

68 | P a g e


Do you remember the story that our Lord Jesus
told about the good Samaritan. Let’s just take a
look at it here.

25 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and
tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to
inherit eternal life?”
26 He said to him, “What is written in the law?
What is your reading of it?”
27 So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the
LORD your God with all your heart, with all your
soul, with all your strength, and with all your
mind,’[h] and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’”[i]
28 And He said to him, “You have answered
rightly; do this and you will live.”
29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus,
“And who is my neighbor?”
30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man
went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell
among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing,
wounded him, and departed, leaving him half
dead. 31 Now by chance a certain priest came
down that road. And when he saw him, he passed
by on the other side. 32 Likewise a Levite, when he
arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed
by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan,
as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he
saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him
and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and
wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought
him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next
day, when he departed,[j] he took out two denarii,
gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take
care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I
come again, I will repay you.’ 36 So which of these
three do you think was neighbor to him who fell
among the thieves?”
37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do
likewise.”(Luke 10:25-37)

69 | P a g e


You see, there were many that were in a position to
help the man that was stripped, beaten, robbed and
left for dead. But those men missed the boat. They
didn’t truly understand what it meant to love their
neighbour. You may be saying to yourself, “But, I
haven’t met anyone who was stripped, beaten,
robbed and left for dead.” But the truth is you
have. Jesus says that the devil, the thief comes
only to steal, kill and to destroy (John 10:10a).

Have you seen anyone being a slave to sin? Have
you seen someone that time after time is being
plagued with sickness? Have you ever seen
someone that no matter what they do they’re
always in a state of worry?

Have you ever met someone who is not saved;
someone who has not received the Lord Jesus
Christ as Lord and Saviour of their lives? Then
you have seen someone stripped, beaten, robbed
and left for dead, because that’s what the devil, the
thief, does.

But before we go on, let’s read the other half of
that verse.
Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life,
and that they may have it more abundantly.
(John10:10b)

Those who do not have Jesus don not have life,
and in addition to that they’re plagued and
controlled by the devil and his tactics.

They’ve been told lies, robbed of their God-given
purpose and destiny, and they’ve been left there to
die by the devil. However, there is good news.
Jesus sends good Samaritans their way.

There is a good Samaritan that is on his/her way;
on his/her way with oil and wine to soothe and
heal those wounds. Jesus sends, “good
70 | P a g e


Samaritans” to hurt and abandoned people to
speak the truth- to tell them that there is One who
loves and cares for them.

He has sent them in His Name to bind up the
broken hearted, sick, worrisome and abandoned,
and to lead them to Him.

Jesus sends “good Samaritans” on their way with
the good news of peace for those who have been
lied to, stolen from, beaten, stripped, and left to
die. You- the born again Christian- go on your way
in His Name, carrying His Holy Spirit with you
wherever you go. You can lead them to Jesus, the
King of kings and the Lord of lords. In His Name
you are sent out as His ambassador to reconcile
every one, to God by accepting and receiving the
gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Praise God!

“15 and He died for all, that those who live should
live no longer for themselves, but for Him who
died for them and rose again.(2Corinthians5:15)”

Glory to God!

Today, look not at those that are troubled as the
priest and the Levite did in the parable of the
Good. But, instead look at those who have been
lied to, robbed, beaten, stripped and left for dead
as Jesus encourages us to- like the Good
Samaritan.

Reach down in love, kindness and gentleness and
pick up your neighbour. Bind up his wounds. As
the Holy Spirit leads, pray for him. Let the Lord
Jesus heal that person’s body, heal their soul and
awaken to life their spirit.

71 | P a g e


Lead that one to the Lord Jesus Christ to receive of
Him that which you have received. Share with
them, The Way and The Truth and The Life, Jesus
Christ! Do it in love, kindness and gentleness
giving all glory to whom it is due, Jesus Christ, our
God and Saviour.

Sow the Word and You’ll Reap the Word

"God, I'm working in the family's vineyard.
What should I do now?"

The Lord gave me a word concerning the Church
and I shared it with my brothers and sisters in
Christ a while back. I want to share it with you. As
we talk about Sowing and Reaping, I want you to
find in your Bible all the passages of scripture that
point to this in the Kingdom of God. When you’re
done that, read on to find out what the Lord shared
with me in Jesus’ Name.

My people have forgotten the art of sowing and
reaping and
so I’ve got to restore this to them.

Too many give up after 1 day of sowing 1 seed.
And yet they are calling me to put them before
kings and nations.

I will do so, and I will get the glory. That’s why
it’s taken so long.

It’s because they want to sow the seed 1
time and expect to feed a nation or nations of
people.

I will give them whatever they ask Me in My
Name, and I will equip them to walk in it. But a
single light that appears dim can’t bring much
glory to me in a room of nations so I’m going to
have you sow the same seed many times and in
many areas.

When you’re tired and worn I’ll give you a seed,
My word, that will comfort and
strengthen you in this row or season of sowing and
73 | P a g e


it will provide you with a more brilliant light for
the time that I’ve shown you.

You’ve asked me for much. And it has been given!
But
remember, for whom much is given, much is
required.

What I have shown you in dreams and visions
shall come to pass. And you will shine more
brilliantly because of the word
that abides in you, and you in that word.

Sow on my child, sow on in the things that I have
called you to do. Some may be big and yet others
small. As you abide in Me as my words abide in
you then you will have before you what you’ve
asked for.

The Lord shared with me that there has been a lot
of teaching out on the intial and final stages of
sowing and reaping, but there is little or no
understanding about the stages that come in
between.

So what I’m going to do for you is briefly tell you
about sowing, and reaping, and then by God’s
grace I’m going to give you some understanding
concerning the whole process. Is that okay with
you? Okay. Good.

74 | P a g e


Watering
Do you know when it’s the best time to water
the seed? *This will help you tremendously with
overcoming procrastination and stubborn fear.

The best time to water the seed (the Word(rhema)
that the Lord has spoken to you) is right after it is
planted. That’s right- you water that seed with the
Holy Spirit led support of the Word of God(logos).
This is where you take out your Bible from in your
pocket and find scriptures that will help you to
water the Word for strong and steady growth. It
becomes even easier when you know the scriptures
by heart because you’d be able to water that seed
even before it goes into the ground 

75 | P a g e


GROWING
What does growing involve?

Growing involves a whole list of things, but the
most prevalent, and the most powerful parts of the
growth stage is Faith working through Love.

If you’re going through a period of heavy shaking,
and storms because you’ve believed the Word of
God(good for you!) then you’re in the growing
stage. This is the point where you’re testing will,
well...

Let’s look at growing some more below.

76 | P a g e


We first start out with a seed, the word of God

The seed bursts open, and the roots go down into
the soil. There in the soil, they must first jut down
into the firm foundation, - the only foundation that
can be laid- The Word of God Himself- Jesus
Christ.

The more that the roots go into the soil( The more
we learn about Jesus, and God’s plan in our lives,
the more we spread our roots. This is the point
where we want more of Jesus.

There comes a time when the root system expands-
this is when you know who you are and who
you’re meant to become, the word, the seed given
to you, begins to open up, and you begin to grow,
as what’s in the soil, which is in the foundation
goes in through the roots and more life, more
abundant life is birthed in the seedling. The higher
you grow the more you have to embed and ground
yourself in the Word of God- Jesus Christ. T

his is why in the growing stage, I said that Faith
working through Love is important. It’s because as
the scripture says, Faith comes by hearing and
hearing by the Word of God (rhema).

Faith is what causes you to grow, and this faith
works through Love in Christ. It’s when you’re
faith is being tested that you gain a deeper
understanding of the Love of God in Christ.

Yes, you’ll never make it to be the great fruit
bearer for the Kingdom in music, song, literature,
athletics or any other ministry without growing up!

It is only when you’re tested that your Faith really
grows and set in motion, bring nutrients to help
you grow in the Lord and harvest the fruits of your
labour in growing.

Guess what happens to the seedling when Faith is
tested or when it’s growth is being hampered by
the strong winds, and the hail, and the storms- it
sends it roots further down into the soil and as a
result into the strong foundation, the only
foundation that can be laid- our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.
This is why James 1:2-4 says this: 2 My brethren,
count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3
knowing that the testing of your faith produces
patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work,
that you may be perfect and complete, lacking
nothing.”(bold font is my emphasis)

Glory to God, in testing you count it all joy
because nothing shall separate you from the Love
of God which is in Christ Jesus. In fact, the more
that you undergo testing, it is the more that you
spread your roots in Jesus Who sends you His
Word(rhema) that brings the nutrients(spiritual
blessings in Christ)you need to grow. Hey- it’s
from Him that you’ll get access to every spiritual
blessing talked about in Ephesians. They’re in
Him.

Here’s the twist!
The more that you get tested on account of the
Word, the more that you abide in Him, the more
you tap into the nutrients that you need to grow(ie-
every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus (Ephesians
1)) and the more that you move and grow in Faith,
because you are in Him, and He is in you! The
devil can’t hold you! You’re going to grow in Faith
regardless.

And this is what you’ll discover from this period
of growing, especially when it gets to be extremely
intense.
