Good day Clite, I bring to you the third principle of breakthrough for our increment in 2017.
Principle #3: Break your rust.
In case you missed out on the first 2 principles, you have them here: Principle #1 and Principle #2. 

Taking this post in another dimension, I will first break down the words that make up this phrase:

-          Break: Terminate – ruin completely
-          Rust(verb): become destroyed by water, air or a corrosive such as a acid

(Noun): a red/brown oxide coating on iron/steel caused by   the action of oxygen and moisture.

·         Water, Air, Oxygen = Necessities of Life.      
·         Corrosive e.g. an acid =Negativity (Sour properties/harsh feelings)
·         Brown OxideBrown: of a colour similar to the wood/earth,
·         Oxide: a compound of oxygen (necessity) e.g. a luxury
·         Coating: a thin layer covering something (the layer = the veil Jesus came to break)
·         Iron: A heavy ductile magnetic metallic element.

In the course of this study the Iron here is referring to You and I.
Even the scriptures acknowledge this saying:  Iron sharpeneth Iron, so a man sharpen the countenance of his friends (Proverbs 27:17, KJV)
Do take note that the magnetic feature of an iron(you) is the place of countenance – the human face/ appearance conveyed by a person’s face.

Going into the word for today: I’ll like to remind you of our focal word:
 ‘If only you’ll breakthrough will there be increment!’

The aim of this topic I’ll reveal with a quote:
If people do not break your trust, you will not break your rust!

You must be wondering how trust and rust relates if not as rhymes.... (smiling) but the basis is this: Rusts results from the interaction of Iron and (Water, Iron, Oxygen, Acids, Oxide ... etc)

Rust is therefore an action whereby the necessities of life (Water, Air, Oxygen) causes a a coating on your persons or a situation where corrosives (Negativity of Life) causes a reddish brown-oxide(Sinful, Earthly) reaction on us that leads to death.  [Not necessarily the loss of our life, but the loss of our person - virtues] -

The world's system is so killing that what it fights really is your ability to influence positively. Remember; Rusts make an Iron dead!

As Iron (You and I) are made to build (sharpening), to influence (ductility), to attract (magnetism) and Interact (conduct heat/electricity = metallic). You are made to sharpen the countenance of your friends but rusts will not permit you to do all this. It covers your eyes of understanding with a veil thereby making your countenance dull.

Therefore, in 2017: Break your veil to breakthrough your vain!

You trust your processes just because like everyone else trust their activities. Even the scriptures pointed it out saying...... there is a way that seems right to a man and appear straight before him, but at the end of it is the way of death ( Proverbs 16:25, 14:12 KJV)

Your interest and love for rust agents (necessities of life, etc) seem pleasing to you but they only lead to destruction. Not to say necessities are sinful, they are the essence/need of life but when over craved and not properly channeled to build others, influence, attract and interact it becomes a coating – a veil in your eyes.

Therefore, the people you surround yourself with break your trust unconsciously for you to break your rusts!
-          She had to leave you (break up) because you needed to learn self control
-          He had to leave you because you need to learn independence
-          Your parent (Father/Mother) had to disappoint you, to learn not to trust in a man..... and many more you can think of.

The Unexpected happens for the Next-expected to look like it’s expected.

Why wait till you hurt again in 2017?
Why don’t you break your rust before they break your trust.

Enough of the hurts from times till now.
In 2017, breakthrough – pick yourself, break your rusts and become a better lady, a better guy, a better friend, lover, spouse, father, mother, sibling, coach, mentor, pastor.......... and a better You.
