THE BREAKTHROUGH, Part 2

God can take the simple things that we have in our hands to perform miracles and bring forth breakthroughs for His people.

In Exodus 4:3, 4 God tells Moses to cast his rod on the ground. “And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it. And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand.”

This miracle was to be the first breakthrough sign to Pharaoh and his magicians to persuade Pharaoh to let God’s people go.

In so many ways, God’s people are still in bondage to the Pharaohs of this world. Considering what Jesus Christ has done for us at the cross, why are we still in bondage to the world, the flesh, and the devil? The trouble is, we fail to recognize the significance of what God has already put in our hands.

A rod is a very simple and insignificant thing. No one would give a second thought to a rod but with God’s anointing and power He used that simple rod to bring miraculous breakthroughs.

President Donald Trump has been raised up by God to use his hand to restore America’s greatness in the natural. But what’s the point of natural greatness if its not accompanied by spiritual greatness? If the talents and gifts God has put in our president’s hands can restore the greatness of America’s wealth, then surely God is saying to His people today, “What is in thy hand? Cast it down before Me and see what I can miraculously do with it to bring about great spiritual breakthroughs in your life, your family’s lives, and in the United States.”

That same rod that turned into a frightening snake out on the back side of Mt. Sinai would later be thrown on the ground before Pharaoh and his magicians. Although the magicians turned their rods into snakes, Moses’ snake devoured up all their snakes. Moses got his rod back but not the magicians!

Prayer is a rod in our hands. Do you recognize its significance? Have you got a prayer life in your hand? To break through, lift up holy hands in prayer and worship.

The Scriptures are a powerful rod which God has placed in our hands. Do you know them, and do you use them? Is the Bible in your hands daily? Keep it before your eyes and heart to get a breakthrough.

What about the unique gifts and talents God has put in your hands? Are you using them for your own benefit, or for breakthroughs in the lives of those around you? Consecrate them to God for a breakthrough. Many members of our families desperately need spiritual breakthroughs.

To be continued.

Be encouraged.
