DIVINE STRATEGY TO BREAKTROUGH

Ruth 3v1- 6  And Naomi her mother –in –law said unto her my daughter shall I not seek rest
unto thee that it might be well with thee and now is not Boas of our kindred of whom thou
maidens thou hart, behold he winnoweth barley tonight  in the threshing floor, wash thyself
therefore and anoint thee and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee thou to the floor, but
make not thyself known unto he shall have done eating and drinking and It shall be when he
lieth down that thou shall mark the place where he lieth and thou shall go in and uncover his
feet and lay thee down and he will tell thee what thou shall do, she said unto her all that
thou sayest unto me I will do and she went down to the floor and did according to all that
her mother in law bade her.
To move to a new level of breakthroughs, you need certain things,
1. Good counsel because the bible says, every purpose is established by counsel, so you
must hear good counsel and then you must accept the good counsel, because the
bible says he that harkeneth to counsel is wise and not only must you accept the
counsel you must do as you are advised, you must not be a here only but you must be
doer of the word.
Counsel of Naomi to Ruth. the counsel of Naomi to Ruth was
a. wash be clean and we said that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanse us from all sins,
b. anoint yourself, that means seek the anointing that comes from the holy spirit.
c. dress up, which could mean put off the old man and put on the new. It could also
mean put on the whole amour of God. It could also mean wear righteousness as a
garment.
d. Observe where he lays down, we said this means that we must note where our future
husband Jesus Christ is, we said Jesus Christ is the word of God, we must worship
where we can hear the word of God is been preached, where God speaks not man
speaking, where every sermon will be related to the word of God; Where we will be
discussing the bible, and not human philosophy.
e. You must approach him only after he has eaten, and we said we must offer the Lord
Jesus Christ his kind of food; which is winning souls.
f. You must approach him only after he has taken some drink; and that the wine that
Jesus loves is praise and then he said after you have done all these, lay at his feet, we
said we must learn to stay at the feet of Jesus Christ to learn from him. Come to the
foot of the cross to be washed by his blood, we said all these things are the advice
that Naomi gave to Ruth to bring her to a new level of Breakthrough.
Though doors might be open but there will be obstacles to overcome for us to be able to
walk into the open doors into our breakthrough and if there is anything the story of Ruth
tells us is that there is a strategy into going into your breakthrough and we see here the
importance of strategies.
Proverb 24 v 6 the bible says with counsel make thy war. Breaking through to your
next level is going to require some struggle but the struggle will be easy if you go about it
strategically.
Eccl.7 v19 made it clear that one wise man is stronger than ten mighty men. The
elders have a saying that the one who is strong but has no wisdom, Is like a lazy man. The
wisdom to break through to the next level, I pray that the Almighty God will release it to you
tonight in the name of Jesus. Eccl. 9v16 says that wisdom is better than strength.
Eccl.9 V 18, the bible say wisdom is better than weapons of war. Wisdom is what we
need this year more than ever before, for us to be able to breakthrough to the next level, so
that before this year ends our colleagues will be wondering how you did it, so shall it be in
Jesus name.
Eccl. 10 v10 the bible says if you are cutting a wood and the axe is blunt, then you
have to apply more strength, in other words if you will only be wise and sharpen your axe,
then it will become easier for you to cut down the tree.
I am praying that the wisdom you need so that not only will you breakthrough to the next
level but you will do easily, the Almighty God will give it to you today.
“divine strategy to breakthrough to the next level”.
Human strategy can fail, the Almighty God has ways to do it that human wisdom can be
render useless, you know the story of Ahithophel, in 2 Samuel15 v 31. 
An interesting thing about the strategies of God is that they may not make sense. When God
says this is the way I want you to do it. (Isaiah 55 v 8-9) God said my ways are not your
ways…
If you look at what Naomi said to Ruth you will say wait a minute what is this woman trying
to do? You are sending your daughter in law to go and lie down at the feet of another man at
night, have you forgotten in Israel when a woman is cut in adultery she will be stone to
death? How will Ruth be able to prove that she is not a harlot? When you see a man sleeping
and you went and open his legs and you lay down there. What are you trying to do mother
in law? But it was God guiding Naomi.
One other thing you need to know about God’s strategies before I tell you is that they
always work. When you try to do it your way you fail. When you do it God’s way it is
impossible to fail. (Joshua 7v1-5, Joshua 6 v 1-5.
Divine strategy from God is always easy to follow, step by step, line upon, precept upon
precept, So that even a fool can follow. Now if you play your part, God will do the rest. Play
your part, follow his instructions, I can guarantee you God will do the rest. In 1Samuel
17 v 45-51 David said to Goliath he said the battle is the Lord’s and He will hand you over to
me, but then David did his own part he let go the stone from the sling, as a matter of fact he
ran to battle and I want to let some people to know who are here tonight, if you are not here
last night for the holy communion service try and get the tape.
Opportunities are coming your way this year but you have to run to grab them. Many
opportunities will come, run to get them. It is the one who is quick who will get most of
them.
God will anoint your feet so that you will be able to run and grab this opportunities. David
ran to battle, he released the stone, it hit the head of Goliath and Goliath fell down. Now
David did not wait to find out whether he fainted or not he ran further grabbed his sword
and cut off his head, now that the head is gone, this man is truly dead. I have good news for
someone here tonight, all the opportunities you have lost, God will restore them and this
time around you will cease them in Jesus name.
The Almighty God will help you do what you cannot do, but that which you can do; he will
not help you to do it that is important.
When Jesus got to the tomb of Lazarus in John11v 39 – 44 Lazarus was dead, he has been
dead for four days, he couldn’t help himself. Jesus said to the men there, roll away the
stones, Lazarus was not the one who rolled away the stone, it is God who got someone to do
it.
Every stone that is blocking your way to breakthrough, God will send people who will roll it
away.
Then God spoke, he sent his word, the word entered into the grave yard and resurrected
Lazarus. God has already spoken to someone tonight; He said your project that is dying will
have revival. I believe that is already done, God has spoken to someone tonight, He said he
will give you a complete body over haul, I believe that is already done.
Then Lazarus came back to life. Do you know Jesus did not send anybody to bring him out?
He will do for you what you cannot do for yourself and if Lazarus did not come out of the
grave he would have died again of hunger, God will open doors for you, he will send help for
you but he will not do for you what you can do for yourself.
Naomi didn’t say to Ruth, go into the bathroom wait for me there I will come and wash you,
no she said wash yourself. She didn’t say when you have finish washing come to me so that I
can anoint you, no, no she said anoint yourself. She didn’t say come and I would dress you,
she said dress yourself. Everything that you can do for yourself, God will not do for you. I am
assuring you that God would open doors for you this year, but do you know that means get
ready for hard work? If you can work hard I can guarantee you if you that the Lord will visit
you, how many of you are ready for hard work this year? Get ready for prosperity, do I hear
you say amen loud and clear!
I want to share with you only three strategy of God; number one what do I do so that all my
prayers will be answered. Will not be beautiful brethren if all our prayers are answered. If I
know that every prayers I pray will be answered that will be good.
There is a strategy, Divine strategy,
Mattew11v12 he says from the day of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of God
suffers violence and the violent take it by force.
From the days of John the Baptist until now, until 2008, the kingdom suffers violent, not the
lazy, not the casual, not the look warm have taken it by force. Now we are on going to the
next level, in fact we are on the next level, but there level and there are levels. New Levels,
New Devils
1. Your praise must be violent praise, the time for casual praise is gone, the time they
have to beg you before you shout halleluiah is gone and I thank the Almighty God,
violent praise will break every yoke and open every prison door. you know Act16 v
25 – 34  Many of us are prisoners without knowing it, we are held captive financially.
Prisoners can’t go where he wants to go, there are many of us who would want to go
abroad, where I the money for the ticket. Anybody who can’t do what he wants to do
when he wants to it is a prisoner and you are coming out of the prison tonight,
because from now on you will begin to praise God violently.
I have told you the story of a man, the doctors said he is going to die, he couldn’t even move
anymore, but one day he said alright, he said if I am going to die I will die praising God, so
when everybody at home didn’t notice, he sneak out of the house and there was a tree
behind the house, he crawled there he said I am going to praise you God till I die here, he laid
on the floor and he begin to praise God, initially it was a whisper , but as he was praising
God, strength began to come, and little by little, he was able to lift his hand a little and his
voice began to rise, before he knew it he was standing on his feet, his hand raise up and
people who were are two miles away were hearing his voice , that was the end of the
sickness, if you don’t mind why don’t you shout and shout  big halleluiah! Shake away the
yoke of the devil.
Violent praise that will tell the devil, do your worst I will praise God.
2. every prayer you pray from now on must be violent prayer, the way some of us pray
shows Good that we are telling God, if you like answer if you don’t like don’t answer.
If you are push to the wall, you will learn to pray and pray violently. Genesis 32 v 24
– 30 when Jacob knew that death was coming the following day, he didn’t pray a
gentle man prayer.
3. Your faith must be violent. In Mark 5 v 2 – 34 the story of the woman with the issue
of blood, hers was a violent faith, if I can touch the helm of His garment, I will be
made whole, she pushed her way through and touched the helm of the garment of
Jesus, violent faith, she didn’t ask Jesus to lay hand on her, no, no she said I just want
to touch the helm of the garment.
I have told you the story of a woman, the doctor told the daughter to take her home, nothing
we can do to help her and one day she said to the daughters, take me to the church, the
daughters said to her it is not service day, nobody will be there, she said who told you I want
to see somebody, take me to the church so they taught  she wanted to go and die in the
church, she said just carry me inside, take me close to the pillar, because I know if I can touch
one of the pillars, I will be healed, they took her in, she touched one of the pillars at the
church in Ebute-metta, instantly she was healed.
There some of you who will say unless the G.O prays for me…  that is when I can be heal,
whereas there people who say if I can just get to the camp ground I will be heal, who is going
to get the breakthrough first?
You remember the story of a woman, she testified over there the old auditorium, she went
abroad to take care of her children and she suffers stroke, so she told her people I am going
home, they told her that those who suffers stroke at home come over here for treatment,
she said she is going home, they asked her why, she said because I know that the head
quarter of God is at the Redemption Camp.
If I can get to redemption camp I know I will be well, she came from London to Redemption
camp to receive her healing, of course as soon as she get to the Redemption camp she was
made whole.
Where is your faith? Why don’t you tell yourself because I am already on the camp ground
before I leave today, I will get my miracle.
You know the story of the man who was mad, chain, leg, hands and feet and they were
taking him to the physiatrist hospital, he said to the police men, please take me to the
redemption ground, if my feet can touch that redemption camp I know I will be well, he was
mad but God gave him an insight, he has a little faith left in him, they bought him they saw
me there it was in our first auditorium, they say are you the man in charge here I said yes,
they say this mad man here said we should bring him here he said if his feet touched the
ground he will be made whole. Well if he said so, what are you waiting for, let him come
down, he is very wide, I said lose him, they said will you be responsible for him, I said lose
him; they loosed him he jump down that was the end of the problem. Violent faith!
Number four, violent giving, in 2Chronicle 1v 6-12 the things that made Solomon the
greatest king of all the kings in Israel in; wisdom, in prosperity, in good health, in peace, is
nothing other than violent giving. He is the one who gave as nobody has ever giving before.
That caused God to say there will be no king before you, there will be no king after you.
The Lord said there is someone here he said I should tell you just don’t forget that I love you.
He said the fellow concerned will understand.
Violent giving will cause you to excel, it will bring you to a level that nobody will be able to
touch you and when they asked God but we started together, God will say that is true but
what you sow is what you reap.
Violent giving will give you violent breakthrough.
I told you the story when we were building the second auditorium, I had deposited money
for wood, in what use to be called Bendel Sate and for one reason of the other, the board in
charge of forestry closed down all the saw mills. What am I going to do Lord, convention is
near and all those who pledge to bring me money are not even bringing more money. What
am I going to do? I was walking up and down there in the bush; suddenly God spoke to and
said, “What do you know about the kingdom”? Father it is not the kingdom of God am
talking about now, it is how I am going to finish the auditorium. I know you must be born
again to enter into the kingdom of God, I know the kingdom of God is not food and drink,
etc, and he kept on saying yes! finally I say since the day of John the Baptist, the kingdom of
God suffers violent ant the violent has taken it by force, you want the auditorium finished? I
said yes, he said give me a violent offering, I sad Lord I have never heard that before, he said
a violent offering is the offering you want to give and you hand refuses to give. The
following Sunday I told my children at Ebute-metta, this is what God want m to do, those of
you who wants to join me, join me, that was on Sunday on Monday the military government
dissolve the board and appointed a new one and the new one open all the saw mill, Tuesday
somebody came and say daddy I have no money but I have trailers to go and get the wood.
Everything that has been shut before began to flood in.
There is someone here every door that has been shut against you will be force open in Jesus
name.
Violent praise, violent prayer, violent faith, violent giving.
Number five, violent intercession. The breakthrough many of us are looking for is the
salvation of the soul of some of our relatives, some of us don’t have problem physically,
some of us has no problem spiritually, some of us have no problem financially, but we have
problem with children, husband, and wife, relative.
We need violent intercession to get them save. In Mattew15 v 21- 28 a woman came to
Jesus and said my daughter is grievously vexed of the devil come and help her, Jesus didn’t
answer her, she kept on shouting to Jesus, Jesus call her a  dog, she agreed, but she kept on
crying, until she got her breakthrough. Violent intercession, some of us has taken the issue
of our relative likely; don’t let them go to hell. Intercede for them violently, with fasting with
prayer, with vigil; I pray for all of you here tonight, not a single member of your family will go
to hell.
Number six, violent decree, in2King 2 v 23 – 24 when some people were mocking Elisha and
he turn and cursed them in the name of the Lord, it was a decree it wasn’t a prayer, it was a
violent decree and the mockers were silent. One of the prayers you are going to pray
tonight, we have prayed it once , you are going to pray it again, is that all those who are
mocking you, all those who are saying where is your God, this year God must silence them
and it is not a prayer you will, pray gently.
You need violent prayer to move obstacles out of your way in Act13 v 6 -12 when Paul was
preaching and a sorcerer was blocking his way he said that he should become blind for a
while and he became blind and he was moved out of the way. It is not wrong to command
that all the witches in your family should relocate. All those who say you will not reach your
goal  be relocated, there is nothing wrong with that and I am going to agree with you, that all
those who say you will not get to the next level, the Almighty God will relocate them.
Finally violent obedience, many at times when God asked you to do something you find it
hard to obey, you have to learn to obey God violently. In 1king17v8-16
Thank you Lord, the Lord said there is someone here, he said you have waited, you have
fasted, you have prayed, he asked me to tell you now, you will win.
Daddy says there is someone here he said you will soon discover that I am never too late.
Halleluiah!
Daddy says there is someone here he said the door that had refuse to open he said at your
next knock it will open wide.
Daddy says from now on people will be eager to help you.
In 1king17v 8 -16 when Elijah told the widow of Zarephath to give him her last meal, it
wasn’t easy to obey but she did and she never regretted it. Brethren the strategy that will
move you to a higher level of breakthrough is to remember that the kingdom of God
suffered violent and the violence has taken it by force, beginning from this moment, let your
praise be violent, let your prayer be violent, let your faith be violent, let your giving be
violent, let your intercession be violent, learn to decree violent decree and let your obedient
be violent. The bible says whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. I want
you to turn to the fellow next to you and say thank God I came tonight, I will see you in a
higher level, if you believe that let me hear you say halleluiah!.
Let me conclude, it is one thing to desire, it is another thing t put your desire into action. The
prodigal son said I have suffered enough, I will arise and go to my father, the bible said and
he arose. All I have said tonight will be of no use if you will not act on it. Beginning from this
moment let everybody see that things are different now, that your praise is different now,
your prayer now, your faith is different now, your giving is different now and very soon the
result will begin to show. In fact by the time you come next month you will have violent
testimony.
And as I have been speaking , something within you is saying you better surrender your life
to Jesus but something is saying sit down what will your friends say? They will say so you
are not even a Christian all this while or some of them may be saying; we came here to steal
oh! So don’t disgrace us by saying you are giving your life to Jesus. Take a violent decision
tell the devil “leave me alone, I am going to God, I want to go and surrender my life to Jesus
Christ”. If you want to give your life to Jesus, run forward don’t let the devil hold you down,
the time has come for you to come to Jesus whole heartedly. If you want to surrender your
life to Him begin to come now.
Begin to pray and say Lord save my soul, have mercy on me, save my soul Lord, forgive all
my sin, I don’t want to stay with Satan anymore, have mercy on me Lord, have mercy on me.
I have come for salvation tonight Lord, let your blood wash me clean, I don’t want to stay
with Satan any more have mercy on me, have mercy on me.
