THE CHARGE TO BREAK THE GROWTH BARRIER

Rev. Michael Onyegbu Season 1 Episode 1

Say Hi

To grow and increase is not merely man’s desire. It is actually first and foremost the pleasure of God. The first charge God gave to man was to increase! God said, be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, and have dominion Genesis 1:26-28. Even after the fall of man, and the destruction of the then world, God restarted a new world through Noah and still left him withthe charge to increase and spread Genesis 9:1-3. God repeated the same with the patriarchs Genesis 17:1-8; 26:1-4, 12-14, 22-24. God’s intention may seem to tilt towards establishing a perfect and eternal order for growth and increase. So, whenever there is a challenge to growth and a restriction to the same, the default reaction is to break it. We see the prophets do that in the days of Elisha 2 Kings 6:1-7. Therefore, the mind of God for His church is to grow and whenever growth is challenged, there must be a committed divine passion to break the barrier.
