SCRIPTURE: And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:10.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you remain consistent in serving God despite your persistent challenging situation, you secure His attention and intervention.
It is very important to know that in every possibility, there are responsibilities to take. Where there is no effort, there cannot be effect. There must be a price to pay to win a prize.
In the same way, Divine breakthroughs are products of human efforts. For example, for Jacob to experience Divine intervention, he had to wrestle with the angel.
In our study today, I will highlight a few things to do to secure breakthrough from God.
i). Standing in the gap on the behalf of others.
Job 42:10 says,
And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Job stood in the gap for his friends, praying for them, and God turned his own captivity.
When you pray for others, when you reach out for the salvation and the deliverance of others, you secure Divine breakthroughs in your own life. When you make effort to bring someone to the knowledge of God; when you stand in the gap for people at the place of prayer, you secure heaven’s attention and intervention.
ii). Standing consistently in the service of God.
Service provokes Divine breakthrough.
When you have some challenging issues that require Divine intervention, service is a major way to provoke such interventions.
When you serve God, you provoke His attention.
In Luke 1:5-13, we understand that Zachariah was a righteous priest, but he had no child. He continued serving in the house of God, making sacrifices and burning incense. Then one day, an angel of the Lord appeared to him and told him that his wife, Elizabeth, would give birth to a son, and he should call his name, John.
When you remain consistent in serving God despite your persistent challenging situation, you secure His attention and intervention.
Remember this: When you remain consistent in serving God despite your persistent challenging situation, you secure His attention and intervention.

AMAZING FACT: Pine trees can tell if it’s about to rain. Next time you see a pine cone, take a close look. If it’s closed, that’s because the air is humid, which can indicate rain is on its way.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): The grace to serve and also stand in the gap for others is released for you now, in Jesus’ Name.
