Elder Peter Elemi presenting the Word

CONCLUSION:
Though man may as well be born with limitations (Psalms 103:14), and at times manipulated by the evil ones or darkness, God also made a way out for him as long as man depends on Him. Thus, that limitation is automatically removed.
Isaiah 45:1 tells us in summary that when God holds a man’s hand all his limitations are taken care of.
Finally, there are heights the strength of man can never attain but God can. Indeed, breaking limitations only occurs when our hand is held by God Almighty. The one taking us to our destination, goes before us and makes all the crooked ways straight. Brings water in the desert and also makes way in the wilderness. Moves one:
*From zero to hero
*From being a failure to being favoured
*From rejection to acceptance
*From pain to gain
*From scarcity to surplus
*From prison to palace
*From ill-health to wealth
TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
Emphasizing the Word further Prophet Obi defined
Breaking Limitations as “Overcoming obstacles, barriers, restrictions, circumstances that hinder people from fulfilling God’s purpose on their lives.”
It also means
“Living beyond what appears impossible through faith in God.”
Furthermore, he said, Limitation is something that does not allow you to move forward or do variety of things. For instance a lady denied promotion for 3 years because a man in her office who was in charge, would withhold the documents each time she was due. Reason being that she turned down his sexual advances.
Barrier or Barricade: something meant to slow down and intercept what is meant for you.
Examples are military checkpoints mounted on highways with sandbags and sand filled drums.
Restriction: something preventing or restricting you spiritually not to get to desired goal of yours. e.g your intention to source for loan from your office being thwarted by a sudden counter policy. That leads to limitation.
“Circumstances around you could make you become limited. These circumstances which are beyond your control and would not let you achieve your goal, he said”.
All these are barriers which would hinder you from fulfilling God’s purposes for your life if not checked. They only hinder you when you succumb to them hence constituting barriers to limitations.
To overcome Hindrances you need faith in God, obedience to God and and His word, prayers, wisdom and perseverance.
The following, he said, engender limitations
1) Weak faith, doubt, lack of spiritual growth, negativity, negative thoughts.
2) Mutual Limitations like inadequacy, thinking you are not capable.
3) Physical Challenges as disease, sickness, disability.
4a)Financial Limitations like poverty.
b) Lack of Resources or economic hardship.
5) Social Limitations: rejection or underestimation by others of your God given potentials.
6) Situational Limitations being difficult circumstances, closed doors or something you see as impossible.
Ways out of Limitations:
It is only natural to face challenges but God has made a way of escape for His elect.
