So you need a breakthrough?4

“And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”” 2 Kings 2:9

The question of what do you want looks so simple but if many have been able to answer this question correctly, they would have experienced their breakthrough long time ago. What some people are looking for will not actually change their levels if they eventually obtain it. Take for example the lame man at the beautiful gate of the temple in Acts 3. He was looking for coins from Peter and John. If they had given him the money, he would have returned to the same spot the following day begging again. They, however, gave him the power of God which brought an end to begging in his life.

Jesus asked the obviously blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10:31, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The point is that you may think what you need is money whereas what you really need is a breakthrough idea or divine connection. This similar question was asked Joseph in the desert when a man found him wandering about. The man said to him in Genesis 37:15, “what are you looking for?” The truth is that everyone is looking for something but not everyone is looking for the right thing. One major step for Elisha to experience his breakthrough was the correct answer to the question of what he wanted from Elijah.

My point this morning, if you really desired a remarkable breakthrough, you must desire also a revelation of what you really need to pursue with your life.

May you not pursue the wrong goal this year. May God reveal to you what you really need in your life in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: Oh God reveal to me what you want me to do with my life this year in Jesus name.
