Main Point
The term breakthrough was a word that was first used a military term to signify an offensive thrust which successfully broke past an enemy’s resistance. Breakthroughs in any endeavor requires perseverance strategy. Victory is attainable but usually comes only after many failed attempts. This is especially the case in our own lives. Our God is the God of breakthroughs! No matter what the situation is or was, we can have confidence in knowing that a faithful and powerful God can bring breakthrough in our lives. And He can do it in ways that we would least expect it.

And she said, “What a breach you have made for yourself!” Therefore his name was called Perez.30 Afterward his brother came out with the scarlet thread on his hand, and his name was called Zerah.
