Forward: 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer

DAY 19 OF 21

RECOGNISE THE COMING BREAKTHROUGH

The tallest species of trees in the world can grow up to 110m and live for 1,800 years or more. However, it’s easy to forget that even the biggest of trees grow from the smallest of seeds. What seems magnificent and majestic, actually started from a tiny seed that could fit into a child’s hand. 

God is constantly at work in your life. In Isaiah 43, God reveals Himself as a creative God who is always working behind the scenes. God does not want us to remain stagnant. Instead, He is constantly working in us, leading us into His plans and purposes for our lives. In times that you feel frustrated with the lack of progress or change in your life, don’t give in to doubt! Instead, trust that God is actively working in you, even though you might not see it.

Don’t place a limit on what God can do! In 1 Kings 18, Elijah prayed earnestly for rain after the nation of Israel experienced three years of drought. Even though the first sign of rain came in the form of a small cloud the size of a man’s fist, Elijah knew without a doubt that God had answered his prayer, and that heavy rain would soon come. The great things that God desires to do in us often have small and insignificant beginnings. Don’t despise the small beginnings! Instead, seize the moment and believe that what you see is just a glimpse of all that God will accomplish in your life.

When it feels as though nothing is changing in your life, encourage yourself by recognising that you are a “work-in-progress”! As we allow God to work in us, He brings us from glory to glory, until we experience the fullness of His plans and purpose for our lives. 

Reflect:

  • Is there an area in your life that you desire to see breakthrough in? List down the small victories and wins that you’ve seen in this area and remind yourself that a breakthrough is on the way.
  • What are some reasons that can cause you to stop short of your breakthrough? (e.g. fear of greater commitment, fear of inconvenience)

Prayer:

Dear God, I believe You are the God of breakthroughs, and that You are actively leading me into the plans that You have for my life. Help me to be open to Your leading, knowing that You are walking alongside me to fulfill all that You have prepared for me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
