The Point of Breaking Forth

by Pastor Nyasha Tabaiwa

Just walking around in our country the words that are on almost everyone's lips are that things are hard. No one is still sure whether our country will come back again to its original position let alone the improvement of people's personal lives. One wise man once said a person is a sum total of their decisions. Why is it that our decisions are not determining our lives? Many have gone to school but still nothing changes, some have adequately planned for their lives but it seems as if everything continuously falls apart. In many people's lives most questions still remain unanswered.

In the pursuit of trying to understand the process of success I realised that success comes gradually and sometimes instantly in rare occasions. However there is a phase that success is highly noticeable and that is the point of Breaking Forth. This is the point where one begins to shift and realise their worth in material terms. These are the times where it seems as if the forces that were pulling you back have let go and you have been catapulted into success. You find yourself plunged into victory and usually it happens when you are least expecting, tired and about to give up.

One thing that I want us not to be ignorant of is that God is the author of our success. All the worries and challenges that we have are an opportunity for Him to demonstrate His power and being. As I sat down on a particular afternoon I began to realise that all life's questions and worries can be solved by a simple sense of understanding and a decision. Many times our problem is not asking questions but it is asking the wrong questions. We need to come to a point where we understand that there is no gain without pain. In real life there is no sweet thing that comes without sweat. In the Christian walk and even in the world at large for one to have a testimony they need to go through a test. Even for one to have a message to tell they need to go through some challenges.

The question that always crosses everyone's mind is "but why has this happened?" Instead we need to change it to the question "how can we overcome it?" Everyone has a creative force and power inside that is God breathed which most of the time is underutilised. The desire that God has is for man to realise his potential and fully exercise it. We have the chance of walking into our desires and dreams under the wings of God. No matter how hard the economy and surroundings are you and I can make it. Today make a decision to abide by God's word and change yourself into a person that all will marvel at.

The problem that today's generation has is that they want what they don't have and can't have. When you ask and not receive you ought not to curse the giver but figure out why it was so. The reason why one doesn't receive when they ask even after times of prayer and fasting or hardworking is because of a definite cause. Instead of cursing and giving up change your way of asking and your focus. Abide by the desires of the giver and always work hard. If your 'why' question keeps on giving you wrong results throw in the 'how' question. One once mentioned that "if you see your relationship with God no longer the same ask yourself who moved, for God doesn't change." The same applies if questions, objectives and prayers seem not to be fulfilled, it should cause one to ponder what the real problem is. If others are making it how can you fail to make it as well? In life there are three simple rules that ensure the principle of receiving;

First if one doesn't go after what they want they will never have it.

Secondly if we don't ask for something the answer will always be NO because nothing will come without asking for it.

Lastly if one doesn't take step forward they will always be in the same place and even end up being behind for everything will go ahead and leave them behind.

In order for one to go to the next level it's necessary to create momentum for themselves and push towards what they desire. One who needs to have change and experience elevation and transformation in his or her life should live by choice not by chance. Make changes not excuses, be motivated and be not manipulated.

It is up to you to make yourself useful and not used, choose to excel not compete, have high self-esteem not self-pity. Rather listen to the inner voice than to random opinions, the criticisms of others and the situations of the world. We all have the power of unleashing what lies inside us. However the power that lies inside one can only be exploited by its possessor. Therefore asking the right question will ensure getting the right answer. Unleashing a break forth in your life or breaking through is not just a constant thing but is a gradual change. Breaking forth needs one to be aware of the following steps if they need to succeed:

a. Believe in yourself
b. Prepare for the challenge and hardships
c. Plunge yourself into action
d. Never give up even if you fail at times
e. At times changing strategy is necessary
f. Always work hard


Why is it I am so confident that you and I can make it? This is all because of choosing to focus on God for He clearly says "enlarge the place of thy tent for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left" Isaiah 54:3 (NIV)
