"Breakthroughs" Nehemiah 8:1-12
A picture of a breakthrough can empower us to pursue a burden.
1. Breakthroughs have no limits.
- Breakthroughs aren’t limited to certain people, past, or place.
- “The remnant there in the province who had survived the
exile is in great trouble and shame….” (Neh. 1:3).
- precincts of the temple, so that none might be barred from attending…” They made space for a breakthrough to take place.
2. Breakthroughs happen through a hunger for God’s Word.
Jer. 15:16,
Your words were found, and I ate them,
and your words became to me a joy
and the delight of my heart,
for I am called by your name,
O Lord, God of hosts.
Ezekiel 3:2-3
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, feed
your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was
in my mouth as sweet as honey.
when he ate the Word and it became sweet as honey.
3. Breakthroughs heighten by the joy of the Lord
- 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Heb. 12:2)
