The Finishing Generation consists of these breakthrough believers who have these clear distinctive characteristics in them. Their unique features allow them to be singled out from the masses. (Below are my thoughts to papa's points featured in the book)
1. Moved ahead to pioneer a new move of God.
We as breakthrough believer we are meant to move ahead and pioneer as we are the leaders carrying the future in us. We must realize that we are not to be on par or behind others but we are meant to be AHEAD! WE ARE DESTINED TO BE AHEAD!!
We are ahead because we are there to pioneer God's standard, His ways in solving issues and etc. All these is because we are the future and carry it within us that why we are always ahead. It is because we are the future, we are ahead therefore we would be able to see and encounter the limitations, trials, challenges and boundaries that's before us. It's when we begin to rise to break and prevail against all these that we could set His standard and advance His kingdom.
We are meant to be ahead to pioneer therefore we should never fear or be frustrated by every trials, problems, challenges, limitation and boundaries as God has put within us the seed which is the "ability" to break and rise above all these.
We must begin to realize that we carry this very powerful see in us. This seed carries the" very ability" to just rise and begin to break every limitation and boundaries that's before us. Seeds are powerful even though they are small in size yet it's strong and is able to reproduce its own kind which are bigger in size.
John 12:24 says"I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."
I'm amazed at how small the size of the seeds are. For example, the tomato seeds are so tiny yet when you let it fall into the ground and die, it is able to rise and grow into a plant that is able to bear many of its fruit and carry/sustain its very weight. It is amazing just to know that the seed itself carry such power and ability within itself.
Just with one seed it's able to reproduce many of it's own kind. Just with one life, it can reproduce so many more lives. This seed is very powerful. This seed carries the "ability" to rise and prevail against whatever limitations and boundaries. This seed "ability" is within me, now!
Just like the natural it would just grow and rise and bear fruit natural once it comes in contact with the ground. Likewise in the same manner, the seed"ability" within me is just waiting to come into contact with limitation, boundaries, challenges or problems so that it can begin to just break out naturally with all it's force, strength and power to rise above it all.
That's why as breakthrough believer we would no longer be like the previous generation that cry out asking for God's help whenever they encounter problems or trails as they would just thrive on all these because the seed "ability" is within them just waiting to break out with all its force and power to prevail against all these. Besides, You are always there with us and You have put this in us therefore how can we still cry out to You to help us. It would be like a student asking for the teacher to sit for his/her exams on their behalf. That's not right!
All the we need is within us already! That's why breakthrough believers just thrive for limitations and boundaries as they know they would breakthrough it naturally and easily because of the seed "ability" within them.
That's why breakthrough believers are not just looking forward towards the future but are living it out now! They are landscaping everything around them as to the every future they are seeing within them. Breakthrough believers no longer fear of the boundaries and limitations that's in the future as we are meant to be ahead as we would be breaking every limitations and boundaries that's before us!!
WE ARE DESTINED TO BE AHEAD TO PIONEER A NEW MOVE OF GOD!!
GOD"S STANDARD AND WAYS ARE HERE STAY!!
