“The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the LORD at their head.”
— Micah 2:13 NIV
Humanity needs someone to break open a way through the captivity of Satan, his demonic henchmen, and the people of earth that they influence and control. Who will that someone be? It is the “One,” the “King,” the “Lord,” of our verse for today. That someone, of course, is the Messiah. It is Jesus Christ. He initially broke open the way before us and He will continue to break open every gate that remains in Satan’s prison. Wherever there is righteousness and healing, wherever there is goodness and freedom, wherever there is wealth and justice, Jesus Christ has led a breakthrough. Apart from His leadership, the people of earth would know nothing other than Satan’s prison.
Jesus led the breakthrough when He was born of a virgin, lived a righteous life, paid the penalty for our sin at the cross, and was raised to the throne of heaven. From there He rules and reigns over the earth. No more does Satan monopolize the earth. No more does he stand unchallenged as the “prince of this world” (John 16:11). Wherever the knowledge of Jesus Christ is spread abroad, breakthroughs begin to happen.
Maybe you need a breakthrough today. Maybe Satan still has his clutches on you in some area of your life. It’s like a gate that keeps you locked up. If so, then take heart! There’s a leader able to break open a way before you. There’s a leader who can break through the gate and set you free.
Look for Him. He’s there, just ahead of you – leading the way to your breakthrough.
