Breakthrough is in YouSample

Have you ever thought about Peter walking on water? Other than the Lord Jesus Christ, Peter was the only person to ever walk on water; there is no record of anyone even attempting to do that. Peter could not look at anybody or recall anybody ever having done that before. He was the first one. He was in the boat with the other disciples, surrounded by water. Imagine him thinking to himself: You know what? I think I am going to walk on the water. No one has ever done this before; it is not recorded anywhere. I have not heard this; I have not seen this. It is not on YouTube; there is no “Walking on Water for Dummies” book. Yet, I believe it is possible. I can do it! So, he ended up doing what nobody had ever done in history—he walked on water! 

In your life and in the lives of those you lead, doors will open, and opportunities will present themselves. When that happens, do not be afraid to go first. Seize the opportunity and refuse to let the fear of going first keep you in the boat of limitation. Be the one people look to—the one people recall! 

You have to understand that the people who come in first are not afraid of being first! You have to believe—without a shadow of a doubt—that you deserve to be first, that you are supposed to win, be a champion, overcome, and break through. And you must encourage others to believe it too!

When I say that we must believe that we are supposed to break through or deserve to be first, this is not based on us. It is not based on our qualifications or lack thereof. It is based on the fact that Jesus already made a way for us to win. It is because of what He has done for us—you, me, and people who look to us—that we deserve to win. It is simply His grace paving the way.
