BREAKING BARRIERS TO FULFIL DESTINY

BREAKING BARRIERS TO FULFIL DESTINY

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Zechariah 4:6–7
Supporting Texts: Isaiah 45:2, Micah 2:13, Psalm 18:29, Jeremiah 1:19

INTRODUCTION:

Life is filled with all kinds of visible and invisible barriers that often attempt to hinder men and women from reaching their full potential in Christ. These barriers may come in the form of human opposition, demonic resistance, emotional limitations, financial challenges, or environmental constraints. But God's will is that nothing should stop His children from fulfilling their divine destiny.

Every great destiny will be contested. Even Jesus faced opposition at every point of His mission, but He remained unstoppable. The path to fulfilment is not always smooth, but those who walk with God can be confident that every mountain shall be levelled and every crooked path made straight.

In this teaching, we will uncover the scriptural principles that empower us to break through every barrier and fulfil destiny. The power of the Spirit, the authority of the Word, and the backing of Heaven are available to all who believe. You will not be stopped!

1. BARRIERS ARE REAL BUT NOT FINAL

Barriers may exist, but they are not the end of the journey for the child of God.

  • a) Barriers test the strength of your conviction
    God allows obstacles to reveal how serious you are about your assignment (James 1:2–4).

  • b) Barriers are often signs of proximity to breakthroughs
    The enemy fights hardest when your change is near (1 Corinthians 16:9).

  • c) God uses barriers as stepping stones to higher ground
    What blocks others becomes a launch pad for you if you trust God (Romans 8:28).

  • d) Many who quit at barriers miss their divine timing
    Giving up too early can abort a glorious destiny (Hebrews 10:35–36).

  • Biblical Example: The walls of Jericho were real, but by obedience and faith, they came down for Israel (Joshua 6:1–20).

2. THE ANOINTING BREAKS EVERY YOKE

There is no barrier that the anointing of God cannot break or dissolve.

  • a) The anointing removes burdens and destroys yokes
    God's power crushes what human effort cannot break (Isaiah 10:27).

  • b) God has anointed you to prevail over resistance
    Every believer is empowered to conquer (2 Corinthians 1:21).

  • c) You must stir up the anointing within you
    The Holy Spirit responds to faith and spiritual hunger (2 Timothy 1:6–7).

  • d) Barriers cannot stand before a Spirit-filled believer
    The Spirit empowers you to move mountains (Acts 1:8).

  • Biblical Example: Samson broke through the cords and enemies by the anointing upon him (Judges 15:14–15).

3. GOD GOES AHEAD TO LEVEL EVERY MOUNTAIN

Our God does not only walk with us—He also goes ahead to prepare the way.

  • a) God is the Breaker who opens gates before you
    He leads the way and breaks barriers ahead of you (Micah 2:13).

  • b) He makes the crooked paths straight
    Divine guidance leads to open doors (Isaiah 45:2).

  • c) No gate can resist when the King of Glory enters
    His presence scatters every opposition (Psalm 24:7–10).

  • d) When God is with you, you will walk through walls
    Impossible things become possible by divine intervention (Luke 1:37).

  • Biblical Example: God went ahead of the Israelites and parted the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21–22).

4. FAITH IS YOUR LIFELINE TO BREAKTHROUGH

Every barrier bows to unwavering faith in God and His promises.

  • a) Faith sees beyond the wall and believes in the outcome
    Faith focuses on what God said, not what is seen (2 Corinthians 5:7).

  • b) Speaking faith-filled words breaks down resistance
    Your confession must align with God’s promise (Mark 11:23).

  • c) Faith requires corresponding action
    It is not enough to believe—take steps (James 2:17).

  • d) Every faith journey ends in testimony
    No one ever regrets trusting God (Hebrews 11:33–34).

  • Biblical Example: The woman with the issue of blood broke through the crowd by faith and got her miracle (Mark 5:25–34).

5. REFUSE TO QUIT—DESTINY IS WAITING

The greatest barrier to destiny is giving up too soon.

  • a) Winners are those who refuse to surrender
    Persistence wears out resistance (Galatians 6:9).

  • b) You carry too much purpose to die in failure
    Your destiny is too loaded to waste (Jeremiah 29:11).

  • c) The fire you feel now is preparing you for the throne
    Your pain has a purpose (1 Peter 5:10).

  • d) God never starts what He won’t finish
    He will perfect what He began in you (Philippians 1:6).

  • Biblical Example: Joseph refused to quit despite betrayal and imprisonment and became a prime minister (Genesis 41:38–44).

CONCLUSION:

Barriers are not meant to stop you; they are platforms for the power of God to be displayed. Every limitation you face is an opportunity for Heaven to intervene. When you understand your covenant with God, you will no longer bow to what others fear.

God is committed to your destiny. As long as you hold on, He will break the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron in sunder. Nothing can stop a man or woman whose life is anchored in Christ and who walks in obedience and faith.
