FROM BARRIERS TO BREAKTHROUGH — DIDI-OMAH AUGUSTINE CHINAZAEKPERE

Moving from obstacle to greatness, according to Bishop David Oyedepo, “no one excels without paying the price for excellence”.

Looking at Psalms 71 vs. 20-21 (KJV):

“Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.”

In every greatness achieve by a man, there is a great chapter of pain and troubles. No greatness achieve that does not a chapter of troubles. Failure is part of the journey to greatness. 

Isaiah 51:1-3 (KJV):

“Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.”

The good news is that, there is a place at the top for you. You must seek God first, and obey his commandments — similar to Jesus Christ's teaching in (Matthew 6 vs. 33); about seeking first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and everything will be added to you.

Moving from barriers to breakthrough, you must walk with Adonay in obedience and by faith. The moment you get tired of obeying, that is the moment you get tired of keep going higher in life and in your field.

Focus on your field, your strength and leverage on other people, put gate keepers at your weakness, focus on your strength, improving and ultilizing your potentials — stop copying and competiting.

Copying and competition, loss of identity: Do not copy others, and stop competiting with people — don't lose your identity in the line, focus on improving yourself and in your field.

What makes you unique, creative and known? Is your identity — maintain your identity, keep yourself updated, raise men!

Deuteronomy 28:1-3 (KJV)

“And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.”

According to (Deuteronomy 28 vs. 1—3), if you want to be at the top, moving up from greatness to greatness, keep obeying.

From barriers to breakthrough, is possible, pursue excellence and you will excel.
