All of us are looking for breakthroughs in every aspects of our lives. I have been personally thinking about this matter for the past few months and was wondering how we can attain the breakthroughs that we are all dreaming of. Many questions came into my mind: Why are we not having the breakthroughs we want? What are the hindrances that is stopping us from achieving it? Is getting a breakthrough that difficult?
After pondering and reflecting on my own life, I came to a few conclusions. Everyone needs and wants a breakthrough in their lives. It can be in their career, families, relationships, studies, faith and walk in God and etc. In fact, many even fast and pray seeking God for breakthroughs in their life. Praying and seeking God for a breakthrough is certainly very important. However, other than God playing his role, we too need to play our own role.
What then is our role? The first thing that we need to ask ourself is: What specific area of breakthrough do I want? Many times, we are just being too general about it. We know we want a breakthrough, but we are not even sure what specific area we need a breakthrough in. We just want a breakthrough for the sake of wanting one. Identifying the specific area of breakthrough is indeed important. When you know what you want, then only will you be able to move on.
Breakthroughs many times involve us stepping out of our comfort zone. For us to experience any form of breakthroughs in life, leaving our comfort zone - the way we see things, the way we do things, the way we live our life is a must. Unless we are willing to leave our comfort zone, the breakthroughs we want will not become a reality.
Change....change....change......Is the only permanent element in our lives. But, it's also a very scary thing for many of us. Many people do not like changes. However, if we don't accept changes, how can we move ahead to attain the breakthroughs we want? Change is inevitable. We must learn to accept good changes and be willing to change. Change may not be as scary as you think it is. In fact, it's one of the keys to unlock the door that leads to the breakthrough you so desperately need.
Once you have identified the specific area of breakthrough, ready to step out of your comfort zone and make some changes, you need to be fearless. Scriptures tells us that God did not give us a spirit of fear..We need to receive God's boldness and courage to grab hold of our breakthroughs. Be fearless to analyze and accept the reason why you are not having a breakthrough in the specific area, spot the changes that is needed to be made. Take time to plan-the little steps that you can take to move towards making the breakthrough possible. Determine to take fearless steps and walk out of your comfort zone.
Having breakthroughs in life is possible. As long as we obey and seek God daily and be intentional about wanting the breakthrough, His grace is sufficient and He will surely make our footsteps as sure footed as the deer.
Let's be intentional, let's be specific, let's step out, let's change, let's be fearless, let's move ahead together and attain our breakthrough!
