Summary: To reach our goal in life, we need to be determined to be unstoppable. Our God is unlimited in power hence we need to demonstrate faith and confidence in him if we must be unstoppable.
Matthew 15:22-28 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Introduction
To be unstoppable simply means never to allow situations and circumstances to stop you from reaching or achieving your goals. It is good to plan but a deliberate attempt towards goals accompliahment is a major factor in success. Like it is said, quitters don't win. Anyone that runs the race must run to the end to win the price.
A christian Life is about achieving purpose. God has a plan for every of his child.
God said to Jeremiah and indeed to every believer, in
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
That is why God told him clearly in
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
The woman of Canaan recorded in Matthew 15:22-28 did not allow situations or circumstances to stop her. She left her sick daughter and hesded straight for Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith and the healer himself. Jesus said to her, you don't give the children's food to the dogs, she said I know, but the crumbs will do. What a faith this woman demonstrated. She knew the power that our Jesus has.
If only believers know what they carry, they will be unstoppable. The crumbs was enough to heal the sick daughter what about you a child of God feeding on the main food from the main dish daily?
The Bible is full of many examples of those who refused to be stopped, those who made up their minds to be unstoppable: For example
1. The woman with the issue of Blood in Mark 5:22 - 30 was unstoppable by sickness, shame and poverty.
Mark 5:28 says For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole and for sure, that touch made her whole. There is no contact with Jesus, that leaves you the same. Every contact brings in testimonies.
2. Blind Bathemeaus in Mark 10:46-50 was unstoppable.
Mark 10:48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
The crowd shouted him down, but he shouted up. I don't know what discouragement have been stopping you but in the name that is above all names, be lifted in Jesus name. The Lord will hear your voice and answer you in Jesus name. Just sincerely call on Jesus! He hears and he cares.
The Bible says
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
3. Jabez Was unstoppable. 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 says
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Jabez had a very terrible demonic foundation that had limited all members of his family hence he was named sorrow but Jabez said what have limited my family members will not limit me hence he called on the Lord God of Isreal with whom nothing is impossible according to Luke 1:37
4. Esther said if I perish I perish but I am unstoppable.
Esther made up her mind that tradition of men was not going to stop her from actualizing her goal so she broke protocols to get her portion from the King because she had the backing of the King of Kings - Jesus himself. She knew that prayer changes things, she knew that certain things cannot be accomplished except.through fasting and prayers so she said:
