THE BREAKTHROUGH, Part 6b - WHO WILL SCORE A TOUCHDOWN FOR GOD?
The watching sons of the prophets who observed Elisha receiving the anointing of Elijah never got a breakthrough (2 Kings 2:14, 14). They were contented to observe the passion and desperation of Elisha but did not push in for themselves.
There are too many who are satisfied to be by-standers and observers of those who really press into God to obtain the breakthrough into the miraculous.
It’s so easy to talk to others who have broken through, who have disciplined themselves, and obtained the victor’s crown. One only need tune into any sports channel and listen to those who wax eloquent as they commentate of the various teams and their star players.
In the same way, many Christians are content to wax eloquent in what others achieve but they themselves never have a breakthrough with God into the supernatural realm. They are contented to be called “the sons of the prophets” but they themselves are not the prophets.
Paul confessed: “I dare not boast about anything except what Christ has done through me” (Romans 15:18).
The world does not need “sons of the prophets” as much as it needs prophets.
At the great Super Bowl there are very few who are out on the field compared to the multitudes who are in the grandstands or glued to their TV sets.
Who are the true heroes? Our churches are full of those who want to entertain, or be entertained, but fail to be the people who breakthrough. This world is desperate for Christians who experience the breakthroughs out of every squashing, squelching, confining, negative, limiting bondage to the Pharaohs that continually seek to stop us from experiencing breakthroughs with God.
Who will rise and score another touchdown for God?
Be encouraged.
