There are limitations everywhere. Many are the things out there that want to limit you as a youth and a child of God. Just as we established it in part one of this message; the world system has been structured in such a way that many children of God (Christians) will have to struggle to achieve their purpose and this is because, if you want to do things in the way that suits the system of the world, you will have to go against the instructions and commandments of God. The world system does not believe in God and if you must move at the speed of the world, you must bend the rules and law of God.

Glory to God because there is an avenue for you to move in the speed of the light which is faster, enduring and lasting than the speed of the world. Hitherto, you might have been following the instructions God has given you and the result you are expecting has not shown up, you just need to relax because by the time the result will show up, you will not be the one that will announce the arrival, the result will announce itself.

In the book of Genesis 26 that we read in the first part of this message, if you read further from verses 26-33, you will understand better. People that said Isaac should leave their city for them had to come back to beg him when they saw results. They confirmed the result with their own mouths in verses twenty-eight; “and they said, we saw certainly that the Lord was with thee: and we said, let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee”.

You will break every limit as a youth and a child of God if you seek the face of God on all issues; if you follow the instructions given to you by God and if you remain focused without the distractions that the devil and the world system will throw at you.

Apart from the three points mentioned in the first part of this message, what are the other things that you need to know if you must live above limitations in life?

  1. Holy living: Many have said living Holy in this world is not possible but I want to tell you that it is possible to live holy with determination and the grace of God (Romans 12 vs 12).

The boy Joseph chose to live holy in the strange land, even when his master’s wife gave him the master key to have access to her body, a gesture many youths of this generation will jump at because they will believe it is a free meal. Joseph said no, he said to her; “how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God” (Genesis 39 vs 7 – 10). Joseph feared God and he lived in purity before the purpose and promise of God could come to pass in his life.

 

Daniel in the book of Daniel 1 vs 8 - 21 chose not to defile himself with the king’s choice meal. That is, Daniel and his friends decided not to lower the standard of God, they chose not to bend or amend the instructions and the law of God; the testimony given of them in verses twenty of that bible passage is that in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm. Holiness and righteous living is another great key to living above limitations in life. 

  1. Prayer: A man that cannot pray will become a prey. King David in the bible understood the importance of prayer. That was why he had to cry unto God in that book of Psalms 54 vs 1 -end. As powerful as king David was, he ran to God and said; “save me oh God, strangers are attacking me. Ruthless men seek my life, men without regard for God”. King David prayed, you too need to pray because as you progress in life, ruthless men and strangers will push attack against you, the attack will come from any angle to you and the only weapon you have is your prayer.

Prayer is a master key to living above every form of limitation that may and will come against you in the journey of life. If you cannot pray, enemies of progress will delay your progress in life. Pray continually until something supernaturally happens (1 Thessalonians 5 vs 17). Pray always, do not give up on prayers (Luke 18 vs 1, Ephesians 6 vs 18, and Colossians 4 vs 2 – 4). 

  1. Dedication to service: This is another thing that is difficult for the youths of my generation to do. Many youths are not ready to serve; they want to become the boss overnight.

You have to be dedicated to serving God and man if you must live above limitations. Elisha was dedicated to his master Elijah that was why he could receive the double portion of the anointing upon Elijah (2kings 1 vs 1 – 16). Because of dedication to service, Elisha received that anointing that made sons of the prophets bow down for him and they said; “we are your servants” because they saw what dedication to service had given to him. They were mocking him when he was doing master’s dog (Boy) but when he received the breakthrough (Power and anointing), they changed the song without anyone preaching to them. Elisha became an automatic master because of his dedication to service.

Gehazi should have been another person to receive that grace to live above limitations; that is, double portion of the double portion that Elisha received from Elijah but because he was not dedicated and not faithful to service, he missed it. Instead of receiving blessings and power, he received leprosy (2kings 5 vs 8 - 27).

Due to Gehazi’s negligence to service, his master Elisha was the only one in the Bible whose dead body raised (brought back to life) another dead body; all because the person that should have received the grace from him was not faithful to service (His Master) and there was no room for transfer of power till the death of his master.

Jesus Christ is the Master of all masters, if you dedicate your life to him, serve him and do his will, the sky will be your starting point and not your limit. Jesus said; “without me (Jesus Christ) ye can do nothing”. You have to be rooted in Christ Jesus if you must live above limitations in this world of sins (John 15 vs 1 – 8).  If you have not known Christ Jesus, today is another day, surrender your life and will to him, follow all the instructions that he will start giving to you and you will be flying above every limitation in life. God bless you.
