Breaking barriers boldly is not about begging in prayer; it is about taking what is rightfully yours by force. Some of us have become so accustomed to a passive approach that we beg for what already has our name on it. There should be no negotiating; if it has your name on it, you take it by force. 

The word that the lord gave us as a church this year was “All-round Elevation.” The word “elevation” means a lifting.



When the Prophet of God receives a word for the year for the church, it means God is moving. So if God is moving, why haven’t you experienced the move? If God is speaking, why haven’t you heard what he has said? As we are in the second half of the year, the Lord is asking, “How much elevation have you experienced this year?"



Elevation has laws, for us to elevate and be promoted, there are keys and principles that we must put into practice. To experience the lifting and “All-round Elevation” that the Lord has already declared, you must realise that there are conditions to achieving this. 



The laws that you must master to experience elevation are: 




The Law of Obedience
The Law of Strategic Positioning
The Law of Process and Preparation
The Law of Timing
The Law of Sacrifice
The Law of Intimacy
The Law of Humility.  

The building is not the church; it is merely what accommodates the church. The church is the coming together of every single believer. The word "church" in Greek is "Ecclesia," consisting of two words: "Ek," which means to pull out, and "Kaleo," meaning to call. When you combine these two words, it means "the called-out ones." So, the church is the "called-out ones," called out of darkness into the light of Christ.



The church is defined as an interdependent, life-pulsating people indwelled by the presence of a resurrected and reigning Christ. The word "interdependent" signifies that you cannot be the church by yourself. For us to be a church, we must recognise our own deficiencies and understand that our lack can be someone else’s strength. Therefore, we must depend on each other’s strengths so that together we can be strong.



The church is also referred to as the Body of Christ. Christ is the head of the church, and we are the body. The head is already established, waiting for the body to mature. We are growing into the head of Christ; Christ is not growing into our body. Christ, the head, is waiting for the church to reach maturity.

There are different types of prayer: intercessory prayer, warfare prayer, thanksgiving prayer, covenant prayer, and more.



We also have dimensions in prayer, the dimensions that we reach in the place of prayer. For example, we start by praying in our understanding; then the next dimension is praying in tongues, and after that, we begin to groan. Each dimension takes us deeper in prayer. 



But there are also dimensions that we attain in prayer. These are dimensions that we must arrive at, and sit there, governing eternally. These dimensions grant us perpetual victory in life. Once you reach them, you don't need to live there anymore, as you have mastered these dimensions to the point where they become your everyday reality as a believer.



These 7 dimensions that we attain in prayer are: 


Dimension Of Transforamtion 
Dimension Of Light 
Dimension Of Stature 
Dimension Of Attainment 
Dimension Of Legislation 
Dimension Of Warfare 
Dimension Of Power 

Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
