Enforcing your breakthrough

“And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.” Genesis 32:28

Most times, both physical and spiritual efforts are needed to enforce your breakthroughs. You must not give up in prayer, neither should you give up putting efforts towards your goal. Jacob in Genesis 32 was on the verge of a major breakthrough. He knew what he wanted. An Angel appeared in the form of a man and wrestled with him. Jacob held tightly onto him earnestly demanding for the blessing. In the process, the Angel dislocated his joints, but Jacob would not let go. The Angel finally gave him what he wanted declaring that he had prevailed with God and with men.

“And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.” Genesis 32:25.

“And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.” Exodus 17:11

You will need to pray through to experience a breakthrough, but you will also need to act physically. You must be prepared to do what you need to do until you get the desired results. In their first battle against the Amalekites. Moses was doing the praying while Joshua was doing the physical battle. Moses'' hand must be held up for them to prevail. I want to add also that Joshua must also do the fighting. If he should run away from the battle despite the fact that Moses' hand was held up, they would still lose the battle.

May God give you the grace to follow-through both spiritually and physically for your breakthrough in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: I receive the power to prevail for a turnaround breakthrough in my life in Jesus name.
