‘But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.’ John 1:16 (AMP)

Beloved, seek the Lord today and keep Him in the forefront of your heart and mind.

He longs to bless you and reward you. If you’d only let him.

You believe that He exists, that is good and well. But your heavenly Father wants to be more than just an idea, or a figurehead.

He wishes to be an intimate part of your life.

So by grace, through faith, let Jesus be your Saviour today.

Let Him save you from your sins.

Let Him save you from your troubles.

Let Him save you from strife.

Guard your heart. Fill it with the Peace of Jesus.

Whatever troubles you, whatever worries you, place them in God’s hands.

He’ll take care of it.

Your job is to seek Him.

When your heart’s full of joy and your spirit’s overflowing with peace, you’ll know that you’ve found Him.

You’ll know that all is well.

And you’ll know that He has bountiful rewards waiting for you.

For He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Be Greatly Blessed!

Prayer:

Father, thank you for your peace, your Word, and your love.

Help me to keep you in the forefront of my heart and mind.

Simply being with you nourishes my soul and blesses my spirit.

May all nations and tribes ask, seek and knock to discover your wonderful grace.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name,

AMEN!

The LORD sees our heart, and knows us better than we could ever begin to understand.

He knows when we are sincere in “seeking” Him.

He knows if we are in fact, sincere in our hearts when we say, “we love Him”.

He knows our very thoughts, and our very desires, before we even know them, or speak them.

“Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” Matthew 6:8

Before our thoughts are formed in our head, He knows.

He knows what we have need of, what we are going through, and who we are.

He knows each and every single one of us, and calls us by name.

He knows how many hairs we have on our head.

He knows all about us.

Seek Him, while He can be found.

For when we seek Him, with a genuine heart, and in supplication of faith and love, He is pleased, and He rewards us beyond comprehension.

He is the reason for living and the life we live should be according to His will and purpose.

When we reach the level of intimacy with the LORD, in which we seek Him for all that we do, all things will be added unto us, as our cup will overflow with His grace.

Speak to the LORD from your heart of hearts.

When we speak from the heart, that is prayer, that is obedience, and that is love for the Father.

Effective prayer is not “magic” and it is certainly not about the repetition of some “man’s word”.

It’s about GOD and His Word, and about your relationship with Him.

Ask Him, and it shall be answered, Seek Him and you shall find Him, knock and it shall be opened. (Matthew 7:7)

The Lord of Breakthroughs

by David Cerullo

Friend, if you are seeking a breakthrough in some area of your life today, I have very good news: The closer you get to God, the closer you will be to your breakthrough.

How do I know this? Because the Bible describes Him as “the Lord of Breakthroughs” or “the Lord who bursts through” (1 Chronicles 14:10-11 NLT).

Too often, people seek a breakthrough of some kind without first seeking the Lord.

They need a turnaround in their finances, their health, their family, or their emotions, but they’re seeking the breakthrough by their own strength and ingenuity.

This approach nearly always results in frustration — not because God doesn’t want you to have a breakthrough, but because He wants you to receive it from HIM.

King David and other Biblical heroes discovered that God was their Source of every blessing and breakthrough.

As a shepherd, David understood that sheep cannot survive very long on their own — they need a shepherd, both to lead them to provision and to rescue them from danger.

That’s why he joyfully proclaimed, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1).

But David also recognized that he had a role to play in seeking the Lord as his Provider and as the Lord of his breakthroughs.

He wrote that “those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing” (Psalm 34:10).

He saw that whatever breakthrough he needed, his REAL need was to “seek the Lord.”

Today the Lord of Breakthroughs is beckoning you to draw near to Him.

When you do, He promises to also draw near to you: “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8).

And when you come boldly to His throne, He says you will “find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

What resources do you need from Heaven today? More love? More power? More peace? More provision?

All of this — and much more — is available when you draw near to the Lord of Breakthroughs today.

Battles on the Way to Breakthrough

Never forget this important truth: Breakthroughs seldom come without a battle.

In fact, the word “breakthrough” was first used as a military term to signify an offensive thrust past the defensive lines of warfare.

The word entered the realm of common speech during the technological age, often used to describe a sudden discovery or invention.

God is first revealed in the Bible as the Lord of Breakthroughs in a military context involving King David.

Years earlier, he had conquered the Philistine giant Goliath.

But later he was preparing for battle again, facing the Philistine army not far from the site of his famous encounter with the giant.

This time, the Philistines waged their attack in the Valley of Rephaim, which means “the Valley of Giants” or “the Valley of Trouble.”

Recognizing his need for God’s guidance and favor, David paused to pray, asking God for His marching orders:

David asked God, “Should I go out to fight the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” 

The Lord replied, “Yes, go ahead. I will hand them over to you.” 

"So David and his troops went up to Baal-perazim and defeated the Philistines there."

“God did it!” David exclaimed. “He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood!”

So they named that place Baal-perazim (which means “the Lord who bursts through”) (1 Chronicles 14:10-11 NLT).

The Philistines abandoned their gods and fled, but they returned again to raid the valley one more time.

Even with the memory of the first victory still fresh in his mind, David prayed again and listened for the Lord’s strategy:

Once again David asked God what to do. “Do not attack them straight on,” God replied.

“Instead, circle around behind and attack them near the poplar trees. When you hear a sound like marching feet in the tops of the poplar trees, go out and attack! That will be the signal that God is moving ahead of you to strike down the Philistine army.”

“So David did what God commanded, and they struck down the Philistine army all the way from Gibeon to Gezer. So David’s fame spread everywhere, and the Lord caused all the nations to fear David” (1 Chronicles 14:14-17 NLT).

Notice that David did several crucial things here: He actively sought God’s instructions… he listened for what the Lord would say to him… and then “David DID what God commanded.” 

And it’s a good thing David was listening, for God’s strategy this time required a very different approach than before.

New Strategies, New Strength

As you seek the Lord of Breakthroughs and obey His instructions, your “Valley of Trouble” can become the very place where you have a fresh encounter with the One “who always leads us in triumph” (2 Corinthians 2:14). 

He will not only give you new strategies, but He will ALSO give you new strength to carry out those strategies (Isaiah 40:31).

Don’t despair if your victory doesn’t come right away, nor be discouraged if you encounter a difficult battle before your breakthrough.

And if you’re struggling to shake off the memories of past failures, remember what God’s Word says: “Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again” (Proverbs 24:16 NIV).

No matter how far, or how often, you may have fallen, the Lord of Breakthroughs will lift you up and give you victory!

I am praying this will be the month when God breaks through to give you the miracle you need.
