THE GOD WHO CALLS THINGS INTO BEING

THE GOD WHO CALLS THINGS INTO BEING

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Romans 4:17
As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” (Romans 4:17)

Supporting Texts: Genesis 1:1-3, Hebrews 11:3, Psalm 33:6, Isaiah 55:11, John 1:3

Description: God, by the power of His word, brings into existence what is not, transforming the invisible into the visible.

INTRODUCTION:
One of the most profound revelations of God in Scripture is His power to call things into being. This creative dimension of God shows us that He does not need raw materials to produce results. Where there is nothing, His word alone creates everything. His voice carries life, power, and authority.

From the very beginning of the world, we see that creation was birthed by the spoken word of God. In Genesis 1, when the earth was without form and void, God simply said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. This divine attribute reveals a God who is unlimited by time, space, or matter. He speaks, and His word materialises.

This truth is not only a historical reality but also a present assurance for every believer. The God who called the universe into being is still speaking today. He can call forth your blessings, your healing, your restoration, and your opportunities. His word remains eternal, unshaken, and full of power to bring into existence what you need in life.

1. GOD SPEAKS CREATION INTO EXISTENCE
The creative power of God is manifested in His ability to bring the invisible into reality by His spoken word.

a) God created the world by His word (Genesis 1:3). At creation, He declared, “Let there be,” and it was so.

b) The universe was framed by faith through His word (Hebrews 11:3). Things seen were made from things unseen.

c) The heavens and earth came by the breath of His mouth (Psalm 33:6). His word is living and creative.

d) God’s word cannot return void (Isaiah 55:11). Every word He speaks achieves its purpose.

Biblical Example: At creation, God spoke the world into existence, and everything came alive out of nothing (Genesis 1:1-31).

2. GOD CALLS LIFE OUT OF DEADNESS
When situations appear dead and hopeless, God’s word has the power to quicken and bring them back to life.

a) God quickens the dead (Romans 4:17). He has power to revive what is dead.

b) Jesus raised Lazarus by His word (John 11:43-44). The dead obey the command of His voice.

c) God gives life to dry bones (Ezekiel 37:4-10). By prophecy, the dry bones became a living army.

d) Christ gives abundant life (John 10:10). He calls forth life where the enemy has brought destruction.

Biblical Example: Lazarus was dead for four days, but at the word of Jesus, he came out of the grave alive (John 11:43-44).

3. GOD BRINGS HOPE OUT OF IMPOSSIBILITIES
Where human reasoning ends, God’s word begins to create possibilities. He calls into being what no man can see.

a) Abraham believed God for the impossible (Romans 4:18-20). Though his body was as good as dead, God fulfilled His promise.

b) Nothing is too hard for God (Jeremiah 32:27). He makes impossibilities possible.

c) God makes a way in the wilderness (Isaiah 43:19). He calls rivers to flow where there is dryness.

d) Faith connects you to divine possibilities (Mark 9:23). To him that believes, all things are possible.

Biblical Example: Abraham and Sarah, though old and barren, received the miracle of Isaac because God called forth life from their impossible situation (Genesis 21:1-3).

4. BELIEVERS MUST ALIGN WITH GOD’S CREATIVE WORD
To see God’s creative power manifest, believers must believe, confess, and act upon His word.

a) Faith is the key to receiving God’s word (Hebrews 11:6). Without faith, we cannot please Him or experience His power.

b) The word of faith must be confessed (Romans 10:9-10). Speaking God’s promises activates divine reality.

c) Prayer releases God’s creative authority (James 5:16-18). Elijah prayed, and creation responded.

d) Obedience enforces manifestation (Deuteronomy 28:1). When we obey, His word produces results in our lives.

Biblical Example: The centurion in Matthew 8:8-10 believed in the authority of Jesus’ word, and his servant was healed at that very hour.

CONCLUSION:
Our God is the Creator who calls things into being that do not exist. He speaks life into deadness, possibilities into impossibilities, and hope into hopelessness. His word remains eternally powerful, reliable, and creative.

As believers, we must learn to believe His word, speak His word, and obey His word. When we align ourselves with the God who calls things into being, we will see His creative power at work in every area of our lives.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank You Lord for being the God who calls things into being.
2. Father, speak Your creative word into my life in Jesus’ name.
3. Lord, call forth life in every dead area of my destiny.
4. O God, bring into existence every blessing that is not yet manifest in my life.
5. Father, turn every impossibility in my life into possibility.
6. Lord, let every dry bone in my life live again.
7. By Your word, let every delay be turned into acceleration.
8. Father, release new opportunities into my life by Your spoken word.
9. Lord, align my heart and my tongue with Your word of faith.
10. O God, make my life a testimony of Your creative power.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall see God call forth blessings into your life.
2. You shall experience life in every area that was once dead.
3. You shall step into divine possibilities in Jesus’ name.
4. You shall no longer be limited by human reasoning.

8. You shall see rivers in your wilderness and pathways in your desert.
9. You shall declare God’s word and it shall manifest speedily.
10. You shall be a living testimony of the God who calls things into being.

THE GOD WHO RESTORES LOST OPPORTUNITIES

THE GOD WHO RESTORES LOST OPPORTUNITIES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Joel 2:25-26

Key Verse: “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” (Joel 2:25)

Supporting Texts: Job 42:10-12, Isaiah 61:7, Jeremiah 30:17, John 10:10, 1 Samuel 30:8

Description: God is able to recover wasted years and bring back missed opportunities in a greater and more glorious measure.

INTRODUCTION:
Life is a journey of seasons and opportunities, and sometimes, people lose valuable chances due to mistakes, negligence, ignorance, or satanic attacks. Such losses can bring pain, regret, and stagnation, making people believe that their time is over. But with God, no loss is final, and no season is irredeemable.

The Bible shows us a God who specialises in restoring lost grounds. He is not limited by time, age, or circumstances. Where man says it is too late, God says it is just the beginning. His power reaches into the past to redeem what was lost, while His grace projects into the future to give new beginnings.

This message is a call to faith in the God of restoration. If you have lost years, blessings, or divine opportunities, God is able to bring them back in fullness, and even greater than they were before. What was wasted can be recovered, and what was stolen can be restored.

1. GOD IS THE RESTORER OF WASTED YEARS
When men waste opportunities, God has the power to redeem time and restore the years that have been lost.

a) God redeems lost time (Joel 2:25). He is able to bring back what has been wasted and compensate His people

b) God restores fortunes (Job 42:10). Job’s end was more glorious than his beginning, for God gave him double.

c) God restores health and honour (Jeremiah 30:17). Where shame was experienced, God restores dignity.

d) God restores joy and peace (Isaiah 61:7). Instead of shame, His people receive a double portion of rejoicing.

Biblical Example: The Israelites were restored after seventy years of Babylonian captivity (Ezra 1:1-4).

2. GOD TURNS LOSSES INTO GREATER BLESSINGS
With God, no loss is permanent. He is able to convert what the enemy meant for evil into a testimony of His glory.

a) God makes all things work together for good (Romans 8:28). Even losses are turned into blessings.

b) The thief must restore sevenfold (Proverbs 6:31). What the enemy stole must be returned in greater measure.

c) God brings beauty from ashes (Isaiah 61:3). He replaces sorrow with celebration.

d) God gives a fresh beginning after failure (Micah 7:8). Falling is not the end if you rise again in God.

Biblical Example: Joseph (Genesis 50:20). What his brothers meant for evil, God used to exalt him in Egypt.

3. DIVINE RESTORATION IS GREATER THAN WHAT WAS LOST
When God restores, He does not return things in the same measure; He always multiplies and makes them better.

a) Christ came to give abundant life (John 10:10). Restoration brings fullness and overflow.

b) The latter end is greater (Job 42:12). God’s restoration outshines former experiences.

c) God’s restoration is perfect and complete (Philippians 1:6). He finishes the good work He begins.

d) Restoration makes you forget past pain (Genesis 41:51). God gives peace that erases past sorrows.

Biblical Example: Ruth (Ruth 4:13-17). From widowhood and loss, she was restored with honour and became part of the lineage of Christ.

4. KEYS TO EXPERIENCING DIVINE RESTORATION
For restoration to manifest, believers must align with God’s will and apply His principles.

a) Repentance opens the door for restoration (Acts 3:19-21). Turning to God brings refreshing seasons.

b) Faith is required to recover what was lost (Mark 9:23). Faith positions us to receive restoration.

c) Prayer provokes supernatural recovery (1 Samuel 30:8). Through prayer, David recovered all at Ziklag.

d) Obedience positions you for restoration (Deuteronomy 28:1). Obedience guarantees divine intervention.

Biblical Example: David recovered all that was stolen by the Amalekites at Ziklag through prayer and obedience (1 Samuel 30:18-19).

CONCLUSION:
Our God is the Restorer of wasted years, lost blessings, and stolen opportunities. No matter how much time has passed or how impossible the situation looks, He is able to restore in a greater and more glorious way.

Trust Him, obey His word, and remain steadfast in faith. Whatever you have lost in the past shall be restored, and your future shall be far more glorious than your past. With God, your lost opportunities are never truly lost.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank You Lord for being the Restorer of my life.
2. Father, restore every wasted year in my life in Jesus’ name.
3. O Lord, let every stolen opportunity be divinely recovered.
4. I receive double honour for every shame I have suffered.
5. Father, reverse every loss in my life and turn it into gain.
6. Lord, let beauty arise from every ash of my life.
7. O God of restoration, bring back every blessing the enemy has stolen.
8. By Your mercy, let my latter days be greater than my former.

THE GOD WHO SETS A TABLE BEFORE ENEMIES

THE GOD WHO SETS A TABLE BEFORE ENEMIES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 23:5
“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” — Psalm 23:5 (KJV)

Supporting Texts: Psalm 92:11, Isaiah 54:17, Exodus 14:13-14, Romans 8:31, Daniel 6:22

Description: God delights in honouring His children publicly, even in the face of their enemies, proving His sovereignty and faithfulness.

INTRODUCTION:
One of the most comforting truths of Scripture is that God does not wait until our enemies are gone before He blesses us. Instead, He chooses to set a table before them, turning their expectations of our downfall into a display of His goodness and faithfulness. To “set a table” is to provide abundantly, to honour, and to elevate in a way that cannot be hidden.

This is a revelation of divine boldness. God does not need to remove enemies to showcase His glory. He prepares His children for celebration right in front of those who wished them evil. This act reveals His sovereignty and shows that no enemy has the power to stop His plan.

As believers, we must learn to rest in this truth. Even in the midst of battles, we can eat at God’s table with peace, joy, and confidence. The God who sets a table before enemies is a God of defence, honour, abundance, and vindication.

1. GOD DEFENDS HIS CHILDREN AGAINST ENEMIES
God’s people are never left helpless before their adversaries, for He Himself rises to defend them.

a) God fights for His people (Exodus 14:13-14)
The Lord Himself assures us that He will fight while we hold our peace.

b) God frustrates the weapons of the wicked (Isaiah 54:17)
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue shall be condemned.

c) God reveals His power through opposition (2 Chronicles 20:15)
The battle belongs to Him, not to us.

d) God turns enemies into powerless spectators (Psalm 27:2)
They stumble and fall when they rise against the righteous.

Biblical Example: At the Red Sea, Pharaoh and his army pursued Israel, but God defended His children by parting the sea, then destroyed their enemies in the waters (Exodus 14:21-28).

2. GOD HONOURS HIS CHILDREN PUBLICLY
The table symbolises honour and vindication granted in full view of adversaries.

a) God exalts the humble in due season (1 Peter 5:6)
Promotion comes not from men but from God.

b) God vindicates His children before their enemies (Psalm 92:11)
He causes His people to witness the defeat of their adversaries.

c) God’s blessings cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14-16)
His glory upon His children shines openly before all men.

d) God’s honour cannot be reversed (Numbers 23:20)
Whatever He blesses cannot be cursed.

Biblical Example: Mordecai was honoured before Haman. The man who plotted his downfall was made to announce his exaltation publicly (Esther 6:10-11).

3. GOD PROVIDES ABUNDANCE IN THE MIDST OF OPPOSITION
The table is not ordinary provision; it is abundance, sufficiency, and overflowing blessings.

a) God supplies every need in spite of adversaries (Philippians 4:19)
His riches in glory are inexhaustible.

b) God sustains His children in times of famine (Psalm 37:19)
The righteous are not forsaken in the days of scarcity.

c) God does exceedingly beyond our expectations (Ephesians 3:20)
His provision always surpasses human imagination.

d) God uses His blessings to silence adversaries (Psalm 34:5)
Those who look to Him are radiant and never ashamed.

Biblical Example: Elijah was fed during famine. While others lacked, God sent ravens to feed him and later provided through a widow (1 Kings 17:6, 15-16).

4. GOD MAKES ENEMIES WITNESSES OF YOUR RISING
God’s greatness is displayed when those who oppose you are forced to witness your elevation.

a) God showcases His glory through enemies (Romans 9:17)
Pharaoh’s resistance only magnified God’s power.

b) God positions blessings in the presence of adversaries (Psalm 23:5)
The banquet is set before those who opposed you.

c) God ensures no enemy can stop His plan (Romans 8:31)
If God is for us, who can be against us?

d) God preserves enemies alive to witness His wonders (Psalm 118:23)
What He does becomes marvellous in the eyes of all.

Biblical Example: Daniel’s enemies conspired against him, but when he was delivered from the lions, they were forced to see his vindication while they themselves perished (Daniel 6:22-24).

CONCLUSION:
The God who sets a table before enemies is the God of divine defence, public honour, abundance, and vindication. He does not remove the presence of opposition but demonstrates His sovereignty by blessing His children in front of their adversaries.

As you walk with Him, trust His timing and rest at His table. No enemy can cancel what God has ordained for you. Your role is to stay faithful, obedient, and confident in His unfailing promises.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, thank You for being my Shepherd and defender.
2. Father, fight every battle confronting my destiny.
3. O Lord, silence every adversary rising against my progress.
4. Father, prepare a table of abundance for me this season.
5. Lord, lift me up in the presence of those who despised me.
6. O Lord, let Your blessings upon my life silence my enemies.
7. Father, make my life a public testimony of Your glory.
8. Lord, frustrate the plans of those who plot evil against me.
9. Father, cause me to enjoy overflowing blessings that cannot be hidden.
10. O Lord, let my enemies live to see Your goodness in my life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall feast at God’s table while your enemies watch in silence.
2. You shall be lifted above every opposition.
3. You shall walk in abundance even in the midst of scarcity.
4. You shall receive public honour where you were once despised.
5. You shall see your enemies stumble and fall before you.
6. You shall enjoy divine vindication in every area of your life.
7. You shall overflow with blessings that cannot be hidden.
8. You shall rise to the top and no power shall bring you down.
9. You shall laugh last over those who plotted your downfall.
10. You shall live as a testimony of God’s faithfulness all your days.

THE GOD WHO DESTROYS EVIL ALTARS

THE GOD WHO DESTROYS EVIL ALTARS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Judges 6:25-32

Key Verse: “That night the LORD said to him, ‘Take your father’s bull, the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it.’” (Judges 6:25)

Supporting Texts: 1 Kings 18:30-39; 2 Kings 23:24; Exodus 34:13; Deuteronomy 7:5; Colossians 2:14-15

Description: God has power to destroy every evil altar raised against your life, family, or destiny, and to establish His altar of righteousness.

INTRODUCTION:
Throughout Scripture, altars represent a place of spiritual exchange, covenant, and power. An altar can either be dedicated to God or raised in honour of idols and demonic powers. Evil altars empower curses, bondages, and spiritual oppression, but the Almighty God is greater than them all.

The Bible shows that God is not passive about evil altars. He commands His people to tear them down, break their hold, and replace them with altars of worship to Him. Gideon, Elijah, and Josiah were instruments God used to overthrow evil altars and establish His presence among His people.

Today, evil altars may not always be physical shrines; they can also be invisible—ancestral covenants, satanic patterns, occult practices, or even sinful lifestyles that empower the enemy. But we serve a God who destroys evil altars and sets His children free to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

1. GOD COMMANDS THE DESTRUCTION OF EVIL ALTARS
Evil altars are not to be tolerated but destroyed because they oppose God’s authority in our lives.

a) God’s jealousy for worship (Exodus 34:13)
God is a jealous God and will not share His glory with idols. He commands His people to destroy altars of strange gods.

b) Altars represent covenants (Deuteronomy 7:5)
Evil altars are places where satanic agreements are enacted. Destroying them breaks the covenant power behind them.

c) Disobedience empowers evil (Judges 2:2-3)
When Israel failed to destroy pagan altars, they became snares that led to oppression. Failure to obey God keeps evil altars active.

d) God’s word is final (Isaiah 14:27)
When God commands the destruction of evil altars, no power can resist His decree. His command brings total victory.

Biblical Example: Gideon was commanded by God to pull down his father’s altar to Baal and replace it with an altar to the Lord (Judges 6:25-32).

2. GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS POWER OVER EVIL ALTARS
God does not only command their destruction; He demonstrates His power by proving that no evil altar can withstand Him.

a) Fire of God proves His supremacy (1 Kings 18:38)
At Mount Carmel, God answered Elijah by fire, proving that the altar of the Lord is greater than Baal’s.

b) God’s presence nullifies evil (Psalm 97:5)
Mountains melt before Him; no altar can stand when God shows up in His power and glory.

c) Jesus disarmed principalities (Colossians 2:15)
At the cross, Christ triumphed over evil powers, destroying their altars of accusation.

d) Signs and wonders follow God’s altar (Mark 16:17-18)
Miracles, deliverance, and healing are proofs that God’s altar is alive and powerful.

Biblical Example: Elijah confronted and destroyed the prophets of Baal, proving God’s supremacy at Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:30-39).

3. GOD DELIVERS HIS PEOPLE FROM THE POWER OF EVIL ALTARS
When evil altars are destroyed, God’s people experience liberty, restoration, and dominion.

a) Deliverance from generational bondage (Exodus 20:5-6)
Evil altars often perpetuate generational curses, but God delivers His people through His covenant of mercy.

b) Restoration of God’s covenant (Jeremiah 31:33)
Destroying evil altars restores the covenant relationship between God and His people.

c) Freedom from demonic oppression (Luke 13:16)
Those bound by Satan through evil covenants are loosed when the altar is destroyed.

d) Establishment of a new beginning (2 Corinthians 5:17)
In Christ, all old things—including evil altars—are destroyed, and a new life begins.

Biblical Example: King Josiah destroyed the altars of idols in Judah, leading the nation back to God (2 Kings 23:24).

4. GOD ESTABLISHES HIS OWN ALTAR OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
God does not just destroy evil altars; He establishes His altar where His presence dwells and blessings flow.

a) God’s altar brings His presence (Exodus 20:24)
Wherever His altar is raised, God promises to meet His people and bless them.

b) God’s altar is built by obedience (Genesis 12:7-8)
Abraham built altars in obedience, and each altar marked God’s covenant promises.

c) The altar of Christ is supreme (Hebrews 13:10)
The cross is the ultimate altar where Christ gave Himself for our eternal redemption.

d) The altar of prayer sustains victory (Acts 16:25-26)
Building a lifestyle of prayer establishes God’s altar in our lives, shaking evil foundations.

Biblical Example: Abraham consistently built altars unto God wherever he went, and God established His covenant with him (Genesis 12:7-8).

CONCLUSION:
God is the one who destroys evil altars and establishes His own altar of righteousness in the lives of His children. He commands us not to tolerate evil altars but to confront and pull them down in His name.

As believers, we must rise in faith and obedience, knowing that through Christ, every evil altar raised against our lives, families, or destinies has been destroyed. Today, God calls us to raise His altar in our hearts, our homes, and our nations.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, thank You for the power to destroy every evil altar.
2. Every evil altar raised against my life, be destroyed by fire in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, deliver me from every generational covenant speaking against my destiny.
4. Lord, let Your altar of righteousness be established in my life and family.
5. Every satanic altar resisting my progress, be uprooted now in Jesus’ name.
6. Father, silence every evil priest ministering against me at satanic altars.
7. I break every covenant of sickness, poverty, and failure tied to evil altars.
8. Lord, release Your fire upon every altar of witchcraft attacking my destiny.
9. Establish Your altar of prayer, worship, and obedience in my heart.
10. Lord, let my life continually reflect Your covenant of victory and blessing.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall rise above every evil altar raised against you!
2. Every evil covenant working against your destiny is broken today!
3. You will walk in freedom from generational bondages!
4. The altar of God’s blessing shall speak for you and your family!
5. The fire of God will consume every altar of witchcraft in your life!
6. You shall see the power of God demonstrated against your enemies!
7. No evil priest will prevail against your destiny!
8. The altar of Christ will continually cover you in victory!
9. Your family will be established in God’s covenant blessings!
10. You shall testify of total deliverance and victory in Jesus’ name!

THE GOD WHO HEARS EVEN THE SILENT TEAR

THE GOD WHO HEARS EVEN THE SILENT TEAR

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 56:8
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” — Psalm 56:8 (NLT)

Supporting Texts: Exodus 3:7, 1 Samuel 1:10-11, Psalm 34:15, Psalm 126:5-6, Revelation 21:4

Description: God is so compassionate that even the silent, unspoken cries of His children are heard, remembered, and answered by Him.

INTRODUCTION:
Life is filled with moments of deep struggles, hidden pains, and silent battles. Many times, people may never know the intensity of what someone else is going through because the pain is expressed not in words but in tears. Yet, there is a God who sees beyond words and hears even the silent tear.

When men overlook us and our pain goes unnoticed, God never ignores us. The Bible makes it clear that He keeps record of every tear. Our tears are not forgotten; they are prayers written in the language of sorrow and hope. He hears them, He values them, and He responds to them.

This message is to encourage us that our weeping is not in vain. God hears, God remembers, and God will wipe away every tear. If we remain steadfast, those tears will give way to joy and testimonies.

1. GOD VALUES EVERY TEAR
Tears are not wasted before God; they are treasures that He gathers and records.

a) God collects tears as prayers (Psalm 56:8)
Even when words fail, tears become a prayer that rises to God’s throne.

b) God interprets the language of sorrow (Romans 8:26)
The Spirit helps translate groanings and tears into divine petitions.

c) God never forgets tears shed in faith (Malachi 3:16)
Every act of faith, including tears, is written in His book of remembrance.

d) God promises to wipe away tears (Isaiah 25:8)
The same God who records tears also wipes them away with comfort and restoration.

Biblical Example: Hezekiah wept before God in his sickbed, and God added 15 more years to his life (Isaiah 38:5).

2. GOD RESPONDS TO THE TEARS OF HIS PEOPLE
Tears are not only recorded but also provoke divine action when they are shed in faith.

a) Tears move God to deliver (Exodus 3:7)
God heard the cry of Israel in Egypt and came down to deliver them.

b) Tears bring divine intervention (1 Samuel 1:10-11)
Hannah’s bitter tears before God opened the womb that was shut.

c) Tears invite God’s attention (Psalm 34:15)
The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are attentive to their cry.

d) Tears produce joy in the end (Psalm 126:5-6)
Those who sow in tears shall surely reap in joy.

Biblical Example: Hannah’s tears in Shiloh turned her barrenness into fruitfulness when Samuel was born (1 Samuel 1:19-20).

3. GOD TURNS TEARS INTO TESTIMONIES
The tears we shed in His presence will never end in shame but in glory and testimony.

a) God transforms sorrow into singing (Psalm 30:5)
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

b) God replaces mourning with gladness (Isaiah 61:3)
He gives beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and praise for heaviness.

c) God brings restoration after pain (Job 42:10)
After tears of suffering, Job received double of all he had lost.

d) God promises eternal comfort (Revelation 21:4)
One day, God will wipe away all tears forever.

Biblical Example: The tears of the widow of Nain moved Jesus to raise her son from the dead (Luke 7:13-15).

4. HOW TO POSITION YOURSELF FOR GOD’S RESPONSE TO TEARS
For God to hear and respond to our tears, we must approach Him rightly.

a) Cry out to Him in faith (Mark 9:23)
Tears must be accompanied with faith in God’s power to answer.

b) Pour out your soul in prayer (1 Samuel 1:15)
God responds to sincere, heartfelt prayers.

c) Remain steadfast in righteousness (Psalm 34:15)
God hears the cry of the righteous, not the rebellious.

d) Trust His timing and promises (Habakkuk 2:3)
Though it tarries, His answer will not fail.

Biblical Example: The Israelites cried to God in slavery, and at the appointed time, He sent Moses as their deliverer (Exodus 3:7-10).

CONCLUSION:
God is not indifferent to our silent tears. He records them, responds to them, and transforms them into testimonies. No matter how hidden or silent your pain may be, God sees and will answer.

Therefore, let us continue to seek Him in prayer and faith, knowing that every tear shed before Him will produce joy and breakthrough. He is the God who hears even the silent tear.

THE GOD WHO MAKES NOBODIES SOMEBODIES

THE GOD WHO MAKES NOBODIES SOMEBODIES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 1 Samuel 16:11-13

Key Verse: “He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.” (Psalm 113:7-8)

Supporting Texts: 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, Jeremiah 1:5, Genesis 41:38-41, Luke 1:48

Description: God delights in lifting the lowly, rewriting destinies, and transforming ordinary lives into extraordinary testimonies.

INTRODUCTION:
God is a destiny changer. He specialises in taking those whom the world considers insignificant and making them significant. Throughout Scripture, we see that God is not limited by human qualifications, status, or background. He does not choose as men choose; instead, He looks deeper, into the heart, and calls forth greatness from unexpected places.

The Bible shows us that men often despise and reject those who appear weak, poor, or unqualified, but God has a way of choosing such people to confound the wise and the mighty. What people call “nobody,” God calls “somebody.” He is the One who takes the stone that builders reject and makes it the cornerstone.

This message is meant to encourage us that no matter where we are or how insignificant we may feel, God has the power to lift us, transform us, and set us in places of honor. When God decides to raise you, no man, no power, and no circumstance can stop Him.

1. GOD SEES VALUE WHERE MEN SEE NOTHING
Men often judge by outward appearance, but God sees potential, greatness, and destiny inside every life He created.

a) God looks at the heart, not the outward appearance – “For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7). God’s choice is never based on physical appearance or status.

b) Men may reject, but God accepts – Even if people abandon you, God counts you worthy of His calling (Psalm 27:10).

c) Your background does not define your future – God’s plan overrides human limitations (Jeremiah 29:11).

d) God uses the despised to shame the mighty – He deliberately chooses the weak to confound the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27-28).

Biblical Example: David was ignored by his father and brothers when Samuel came to anoint a king, but God saw in him a king and lifted him above his brothers (1 Samuel 16:11-13).

2. GOD TRANSFORMS LIVES BY HIS POWER
When God’s power comes upon a person, their story changes completely and they rise from obscurity into relevance.

a) God’s Spirit brings transformation – The anointing breaks yokes and changes destinies (Isaiah 61:1).

b) God changes names and identities – He called Abram “Abraham” and turned him into a father of nations (Genesis 17:5).

c) God opens doors no man can shut – His favor lifts the rejected into places of prominence (Revelation 3:7-8).

d) God restores lost dignity – He crowns the lowly with honor and glory (Psalm 8:5).

Biblical Example: Joseph was a slave and prisoner, but by God’s power, he was lifted to become governor in Egypt (Genesis 41:38-41).

3. GOD LIFTS THE HUMBLE INTO GREATNESS
Humility attracts the lifting hand of God; pride pushes people away from divine promotion.

a) God gives grace to the humble – He resists the proud but exalts the lowly (James 4:6).

b) God notices the lowly – His eyes are upon those who are broken and contrite in heart (Isaiah 66:2).

c) God delights in raising the poor – He takes the needy from the dust and seats them with princes (Psalm 113:7-8).

d) God honors those who honor Him – Those who live to glorify God are lifted into greatness (1 Samuel 2:30).

Biblical Example: Mary, the mother of Jesus, described herself as lowly, but God chose her to carry the Savior of the world (Luke 1:48).

4. GOD’S CHOICE CANNOT BE OVERRULED BY MAN
When God chooses to lift a person, no man, no system, and no enemy can stop His agenda.

a) God’s choice is sovereign – He has mercy on whom He will have mercy (Romans 9:15).

b) God’s word prevails – What He has spoken concerning you must surely come to pass (Isaiah 55:11).

c) God defends His chosen ones – He fights battles on behalf of those He lifts (Isaiah 41:10-11).

d) God’s favor overrides opposition – His favor opens doors even in hostile environments (Psalm 5:12).

Biblical Example: Esther, an orphan and foreigner, was chosen as queen in a foreign land despite opposition, because God’s hand was upon her (Esther 2:17).

CONCLUSION:
God is the destiny lifter. He takes those who are written off by men and writes them into greatness. He delights in making nobodies into somebodies so that His glory alone is revealed. No matter how insignificant you may appear before men, you are significant before God.

Therefore, do not despise yourself or allow others to despise you. Submit to God’s plan, walk humbly with Him, and trust His power. In His time, He will lift you, transform you, and establish you as a testimony to the world.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, I thank You for being the lifter of the lowly.
2. Father, open my eyes to see my value in You.
3. O Lord, turn every rejection in my life into acceptance.
4. Father, let Your power transform my life and destiny.
5. O Lord, rewrite my story for Your glory.
6. Father, lift me from obscurity into relevance by Your mercy.
7. Lord, let Your favor open doors of greatness for me.
8. Father, silence every voice that despises or looks down on me.
9. O Lord, establish me among princes and people of influence.
10. Father, make my life a testimony of Your lifting power.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall rise from obscurity into divine relevance.
2. The hand of God shall lift you above your limitations.
3. You shall be celebrated where you were once rejected.
4. Every label of “nobody” upon your life is erased by God’s power.
5. You shall sit with princes and be honored among great men.
6. God shall turn your story into glory.
7. You shall receive divine favor that no man can resist.
8. You shall become a testimony of God’s lifting power.
9. Those who once mocked you shall see God’s greatness in your life.
10. You shall be transformed from ordinary to extraordinary in Jesus’ name.

THE GOD WHO TEACHES HANDS TO WAR

THE GOD WHO TEACHES HANDS TO WAR

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 144:1
“Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.”

Supporting Texts: 2 Samuel 22:35, Exodus 15:3, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, Ephesians 6:10-12

Description: God equips His children with divine strength and strategies to fight and win life’s battles.

INTRODUCTION:
The Christian life is not a playground but a battleground. From the moment we are saved, we are enlisted into the army of the Lord. We are not fighting against men, but against principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). For this reason, every believer must be trained and equipped by God Himself to confront and overcome the battles of life.

David, a man of war, did not boast in his natural ability or his military training. Instead, he declared that it was God who taught his hands to war and his fingers to fight (Psalm 144:1). This means that divine training is essential for victory. Without God’s training, we are vulnerable and easily defeated. With God’s training, however, victory becomes our portion.

God is not only the One who gives strength, but He also gives strategies, wisdom, and courage. Life’s battles are inevitable, but with the Lord as our strength and trainer, we are assured of victory. This study reveals how God trains His children and ensures their triumph in every battle.

1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF OUR STRENGTH FOR WAR
Before any battle is fought, God strengthens His children and equips them to stand firm against the enemy.

a) God is our strength – Without Him we can do nothing (Psalm 18:32). He empowers us to withstand spiritual attacks.

b) God renews our strength – Those who wait upon Him mount up with wings as eagles (Isaiah 40:31).

c) God’s strength makes us unshakable – He makes our feet like hinds’ feet to stand in difficult places (Habakkuk 3:19).

d) God strengthens us inwardly – We are fortified in the inner man by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 3:16).

Biblical Example: Samson’s supernatural strength came from God (Judges 15:14-15). Each time the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, he was unstoppable.

2. GOD TRAINS HIS CHILDREN FOR SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Training is necessary for victory, and God personally trains His people to fight and win battles.

a) God teaches through His Word – The Word is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17).

b) God trains us through experience – Battles we face are opportunities for growth (Judges 3:1-2).

c) God disciplines us for readiness – Like soldiers, we are shaped through discipline (Hebrews 12:11).

d) God instructs us in prayer – Prayer sharpens our sensitivity to spiritual warfare (Luke 18:1).

Biblical Example: David was trained through his experiences with lions and bears before he faced Goliath (1 Samuel 17:34-36).

3. THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE DIVINELY EMPOWERED
God does not send us into battle without equipping us with powerful spiritual weapons.

a) The Word of God – It pierces and destroys the enemy’s lies (Hebrews 4:12).

b) The Blood of Jesus – It secures victory over Satan (Revelation 12:11).

c) The Name of Jesus – At His name, every knee must bow (Philippians 2:10).

d) Prayer and Fasting – These release extraordinary power against stubborn battles (Matthew 17:21).

Biblical Example: Jehoshaphat and Judah won a mighty battle not with weapons but with praise (2 Chronicles 20:21-22).

4. GOD’S PRESENCE GUARANTEES OUR VICTORY
Victory in warfare does not come from skill alone but from the abiding presence of God.

a) God fights for His people – The battle belongs to the Lord (1 Samuel 17:47).

b) God confuses the enemy – He scatters the devices of the wicked (Psalm 68:1).

c) God’s presence brings assurance – Fear is destroyed when God is with us (Isaiah 41:10).

d) God ensures lasting victory – His presence establishes dominion and peace (Romans 8:31).

Biblical Example: At the Red Sea, Moses declared, “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace” (Exodus 14:14).

CONCLUSION:
Life’s battles are real, but God has not left His children defenseless. He is both our strength and our Trainer. He equips us with weapons, discipline, and His abiding presence so that no enemy can overcome us. The believer who trusts in God’s training will always end up victorious.

Therefore, do not fear the battles you face. Yield yourself to God’s training, depend on His strength, and use the weapons He has given you. Victory is guaranteed when the Lord teaches your hands to war.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, I thank You for being my strength and my trainer in the battles of life.
2. Father, strengthen me daily to withstand every attack of the enemy.
3. O Lord, teach me divine strategies for victorious living.
4. Lord, equip me with Your Word as a mighty weapon of warfare.
5. By the blood of Jesus, I overcome every satanic opposition in my life.
6. Father, increase my sensitivity to spiritual battles through prayer.
7. O Lord, let Your presence go with me into every battle.
8. I decree that no weapon formed against me shall prosper.
9. Lord, help me to recover every blessing stolen by the enemy.
10. Father, establish me in lasting victory and dominion.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall not be a victim in life’s battles, but a victor in Christ.
2. The Lord shall strengthen your hands for victory.
3. Every enemy standing against you shall fall before you.
4. You shall overcome every Goliath confronting your destiny.
5. The Lord will give you divine strategies for breakthroughs.
6. No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
7. God’s presence will go with you wherever you go.
8. Every battle confronting you shall turn into a testimony.
9. You shall recover everything the enemy has stolen from you.
10. You shall live in victory and possess your divine inheritance.

THE GOD WHO UNLOCKS DIVINE FAVOUR

THE GOD WHO UNLOCKS DIVINE FAVOUR

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 102:13

Key Verse: “Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.” (Psalm 102:13 KJV)

Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:3-4, Esther 2:17, Genesis 39:21, Luke 1:30

Description: Divine favour is a supernatural key that God uses to open doors of opportunity, promotion, and blessings that human effort alone cannot achieve.

INTRODUCTION:
Favour is the supernatural kindness and acceptance that comes from God and positions a person for unusual opportunities, blessings, and breakthroughs. When God unlocks divine favour over a man’s life, protocols are suspended, impossibilities become possible, and closed doors open effortlessly. Divine favour is not based on human qualification or merit; it is the unmerited kindness of God that distinguishes His children from others.

Throughout the Scriptures, we see that divine favour is often the turning point in the lives of God’s people. Joseph, Esther, Mary, and many others rose to great heights not only because of their skills or wisdom but because the favour of God was unlocked over their lives. In this message, we will learn how God unlocks divine favour and positions His children for uncommon testimonies.

1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF DIVINE FAVOUR
Before divine favour can be unlocked, we must understand that God is its ultimate source. He alone determines who receives favour and when it is released.

a) God gives favour according to His will (Romans 9:16) – It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.

b) Favour is God’s gift to His children (Proverbs 3:3-4) – When mercy and truth are bound around our neck, we obtain favour in the sight of God and man.

c) No one can stop the favour of God (Psalm 5:12) – God surrounds the righteous with favour as with a shield, making them untouchable by the enemy.

d) God’s favour is better than man’s approval (Psalm 30:5) – His favour lasts a lifetime and brings joy beyond human recognition.

Biblical Example: Joseph obtained favour from God, and even in prison, God made him find favour in the sight of the keeper (Genesis 39:21).

2. GOD UNLOCKS FAVOUR THROUGH HIS MERCY
Mercy is often the key that unlocks the door of divine favour. Without the mercy of God, favour cannot flow.

a) Mercy qualifies the unqualified (Romans 9:15) – God says He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy.

b) Mercy brings supernatural lifting (1 Samuel 2:8) – God lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among princes.

c) Mercy attracts the compassion of God (Lamentations 3:22-23) – It is of the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, and His compassion never fails.

d) Mercy changes seasons (Psalm 102:13) – Mercy provokes God to arise and release favour at the appointed time.

Biblical Example: Esther obtained mercy before King Ahasuerus, and it unlocked uncommon favour that made her queen (Esther 2:17).

3. GOD UNLOCKS FAVOUR THROUGH RIGHTEOUS LIVING
Living a life that pleases God is a channel through which He releases His favour upon His people.

a) Righteousness attracts divine favour (Proverbs 12:2) – A good man obtains favour from the Lord, but a man of wicked intentions is condemned.

b) Holiness opens the heavens of favour (Psalm 84:11) – The Lord withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly.

c) Integrity secures favour with men (Daniel 6:4) – Daniel’s righteous lifestyle unlocked divine favour before kings.

d) Faithfulness positions us for favour (Matthew 25:21) – The faithful servant is rewarded and promoted to higher levels.

Biblical Example: Daniel lived a righteous life in Babylon, and God gave him favour before kings and rulers (Daniel 1:9).

4. GOD UNLOCKS FAVOUR TO FULFIL DIVINE PURPOSE
God does not release favour randomly; He does it with a purpose—to advance His kingdom and fulfil His plans in our lives.

a) Favour positions us for destiny fulfilment (Jeremiah 29:11) – God’s thoughts are of good to bring us to an expected end.

b) Favour opens doors that cannot be shut (Revelation 3:7-8) – When God opens the door of favour, no man can close it.

c) Favour makes us solution providers (Genesis 41:39-41) – Joseph’s favour lifted him to provide solutions for nations.

d) Favour brings us into places of influence (Proverbs 18:16) – The gift of a man makes room for him and brings him before great men.

Biblical Example: Mary found favour with God and became the chosen vessel to bring forth the Saviour of the world (Luke 1:30-31).

CONCLUSION:
Divine favour is the key that changes destinies, lifts men from obscurity, and opens doors that no human effort can unlock. It is a supernatural endorsement that causes a man to stand out in the midst of many. When God unlocks favour in your life, it will not only bless you but also position you as a blessing to others.

Beloved, position yourself for divine favour by walking in righteousness, seeking the mercy of God, and trusting Him as the only source of favour. As you do this, you will begin to experience divine opportunities, open doors, and supernatural lifting that will testify of the God who unlocks divine favour.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, thank You because You are the source of divine favour.
2. Father, let Your mercy speak for me where my strength cannot.
3. Lord, unlock the doors of divine favour over my life in Jesus’ name.
4. Father, by Your favour, open every closed door in my destiny.
5. Lord, help me to walk in righteousness that attracts Your favour.
6. Father, let my life be a testimony of Your divine favour.
7. Lord, surround me with favour as with a shield.
8. Father, use Your favour to position me for destiny fulfilment.
9. Lord, grant me favour before kings, rulers, and decision-makers.
10. Father, let my set time of favour manifest speedily in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall experience the unlocking of divine favour over your life!
2. The mercy of God will qualify you for blessings you do not deserve!
3. Every closed door before you is opening by the key of favour!
4. You shall walk in divine acceptance everywhere you go!
5. The favour of God will distinguish you among many!
6. Men shall rise to help you because of God’s favour upon your life!
7. Your destiny shall be lifted into fulfilment by divine favour!
8. You will enjoy favour that silences mockery and brings joy!
9. Nations will recognise you because the favour of God is upon you!
10. From today, you shall live continually under open heavens of favour!

THE GOD WHO BLESSES BEYOND MEASURE

THE GOD WHO BLESSES BEYOND MEASURE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Ephesians 3:20

Key Verse: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV)

Supporting Texts: Malachi 3:10, Deuteronomy 28:2-6, Psalm 23:5, 2 Corinthians 9:8

Description: God is not limited in His giving; His blessings overflow far beyond human imagination or expectation.

INTRODUCTION:
One of the greatest attributes of God is His ability to bless His people in ways that surpass human understanding. The blessings of God are not small, ordinary, or restricted; they are always abundant, overflowing, and beyond measure. When God decides to bless a man, He does so in such a way that no one can take the glory but Him alone.

The Bible is full of examples of men and women who experienced blessings that exceeded their prayers, expectations, and even imaginations. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, meaning that His blessings are not measured by our limitations but by His unlimited power. In this sermon, we will see how God blesses beyond measure and how we can position ourselves to receive these blessings.

1. GOD’S NATURE IS TO BLESS ABUNDANTLY
God’s character is rooted in generosity and abundance. He does not bless sparingly but pours out His blessings in great measure.

a) God is the source of every blessing (James 1:17) – Every good and perfect gift comes from Him, and He never withholds His goodness.

b) His blessings are abundant (Psalm 68:19) – Daily, He loads His people with benefits that are more than enough for their needs.

c) God blesses according to His riches (Philippians 4:19) – He does not give according to our capacity but according to His unlimited riches in glory.

d) His blessings overflow (Psalm 23:5) – The psalmist testified that his cup ran over because of God’s abundant provision.

Biblical Example: Abraham was blessed beyond measure with wealth, cattle, and influence until he became a blessing to nations (Genesis 24:1, Genesis 13:2).

2. GOD BLESSES OBEDIENCE BEYOND MEASURE
When God’s people walk in obedience, He responds with blessings that go beyond human imagination.

a) Obedience attracts blessings (Deuteronomy 28:1–2) – The Lord promises to set His people on high above all nations if they obey Him.

b) God rewards obedience openly (Isaiah 1:19) – The obedient and willing shall eat the good of the land in abundance.

c) Disobedience shuts the door of blessing (Deuteronomy 28:15) – Failure to obey God leads to curses instead of blessings.

d) Partial obedience limits blessings (1 Samuel 15:22) – God desires complete obedience, which provokes His limitless favour.

Biblical Example: Peter experienced a net-breaking catch of fish after obeying the Lord’s command to launch into the deep (Luke 5:4-6).

3. GOD’S BLESSINGS ARE BEYOND HUMAN CALCULATION
The blessings of God cannot be measured by human logic or mathematics; they are divine and immeasurable.

a) God blesses beyond our prayers (Ephesians 3:20) – He exceeds what we ask for and goes beyond what we can imagine.

b) His blessings are pressed down, shaken together, and running over (Luke 6:38) – His giving surpasses human giving standards.

c) God’s blessings silence mockery (Joel 2:26-27) – He blesses in such a way that His people are never put to shame.

d) God multiplies what looks small (John 6:11) – What is little in our hands becomes abundant when surrendered to Him.

Biblical Example: The widow of Zarephath experienced an endless supply of oil and flour that sustained her family through famine (1 Kings 17:14-16).

4. GOD BLESSES TO MAKE US A BLESSING
God’s blessings are not for selfish consumption alone; He blesses His children to be a channel of blessings to others.

a) We are blessed to be a blessing (Genesis 12:2) – God blessed Abraham so that through him all nations of the earth would be blessed.

b) Blessings position us for influence (Proverbs 10:22) – The blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow with it.

c) Blessings establish covenant relationship (Deuteronomy 8:18) – God blesses to confirm His covenant of prosperity with His people.

d) Blessings make us channels of generosity (2 Corinthians 9:8) – God makes all grace abound so that we may abound in every good work.

Biblical Example: Joseph was blessed beyond measure in Egypt and became a blessing to nations during famine (Genesis 41:55-57).

CONCLUSION:
God is not a God of scarcity; He is the God of abundance who blesses His people beyond measure. He is able to exceed our expectations, enlarge our territory, and silence every voice of limitation in our lives. His blessings are not bound by human effort but by His divine mercy and favour.

Beloved, if you want to experience blessings beyond measure, walk in obedience, rely on His Word, surrender your resources to Him, and position yourself as a channel of blessing to others. When God decides to bless you, He will lift you to levels where men will marvel at His goodness in your life.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, thank You because You are the source of every blessing in my life.
2. Father, release upon me blessings that are beyond my imagination.
3. Lord, every power blocking my blessings, let them be destroyed in Jesus’ name.
4. Father, help me to walk in obedience that attracts blessings beyond measure.
5. Lord, enlarge my capacity to receive Your blessings.
6. Father, multiply the little in my hands into an overflow.
7. Lord, make me a channel of blessing to my generation.
8. Father, let Your blessings silence every voice of mockery in my life.
9. Lord, by Your blessings, lift me to levels I cannot reach by my effort.
10. Father, let my cup continually overflow with divine favour.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall experience blessings that are beyond your prayers and expectations!

THE GOD WHO PULLS DOWN STRONGHOLDS

THE GOD WHO PULLS DOWN STRONGHOLDS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

Supporting Texts: Jeremiah 1:10, Psalm 18:2, Judges 6:25-26, Isaiah 54:17

INTRODUCTION:
Life is a battlefield, and every believer is engaged in spiritual warfare whether they realise it or not. Strongholds are not just physical structures; they are spiritual barriers, deeply rooted mindsets, demonic influences, and oppressive powers that try to limit the children of God from fulfilling their divine destiny. These strongholds may take the form of fear, sin, addiction, ancestral bondages, or satanic altars working against destinies. But thanks be to God, He is the Almighty who pulls down every stronghold.

The Scripture declares that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Human wisdom, wealth, or power cannot dismantle satanic barriers. Only the power of the living God can shatter them. In this message, we will see how God reveals Himself as the Mighty Deliverer, pulling down strongholds and granting His people complete victory.

1. GOD IS OUR DIVINE WARRIOR
When we talk about God pulling down strongholds, the first thing we must understand is that He is our Divine Warrior. He is not a passive God; He fights for His children with unmatched power. Every stronghold raised against His people cannot withstand His mighty hand.

a) God fights for His children (Exodus 14:14) – The Lord Himself assures His people that He will fight for them, and they need only to be still. His presence in battle guarantees victory.

b) The Lord is mighty in battle (Psalm 24:8) – He is described as the King of glory, strong and mighty, mighty in battle. No enemy is too powerful for Him to overcome.

c) No stronghold can resist His power (Nahum 1:6) – The fury of God is unstoppable, and no fortress or power can endure His wrath. Every stronghold collapses at His command.

d) God ensures complete victory (Deuteronomy 20:4) – He does not just fight; He ensures that His children experience complete deliverance and salvation from their enemies.

Biblical Example: God fought for Israel against Pharaoh at the Red Sea, pulling down the stronghold of Egyptian bondage and drowning their enemies (Exodus 14:21–28).

2. GOD PULLS DOWN STRONGHOLDS THROUGH HIS WORD
Another way God pulls down strongholds is through His Word. The Word of God is not ordinary; it carries divine authority and power that demolishes lies and ungodly imaginations raised against the knowledge of Christ.

a) The Word exposes hidden strongholds (Hebrews 4:12) – The Word of God is living, active, and sharper than any two-edged sword. It penetrates deep and reveals the hidden operations of darkness.

b) God’s Word brings deliverance (Psalm 107:20) – He sent His Word to heal and deliver His people from destruction. Every satanic hold is broken by the entrance of His Word.

c) The Word renews the mind (Romans 12:2) – Many strongholds exist in the mind. The Word of God transforms our thinking, replacing lies with divine truth and pulling down mental barriers.

d) Confession of the Word releases victory (Joshua 1:8) – When believers meditate on and declare the Word consistently, they activate God’s promises and walk in supernatural success.

Biblical Example: Jesus overcame Satan’s temptations in the wilderness by speaking the Word. Each declaration of “It is written” pulled down the enemy’s attack (Matthew 4:1–11).

3. GOD USES HIS SPIRIT TO DESTROY STRONGHOLDS
God also pulls down strongholds through the power of His Spirit. The Holy Spirit equips, empowers, and anoints believers to rise above every force of darkness that resists their destiny.

a) The Spirit of the Lord brings freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17) – Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Strongholds cannot survive where His Spirit dwells.

b) The Spirit gives power to overcome (Acts 1:8) – Believers receive supernatural power to deal with stubborn enemies and resist every form of satanic oppression.

c) The Spirit breaks yokes (Isaiah 10:27) – By the anointing of the Spirit, every yoke of bondage is destroyed and every heavy burden is lifted.

d) The Spirit equips us for warfare (Ephesians 6:17–18) – The Spirit enables believers to wield the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and to prevail through fervent prayer.

Biblical Example: Gideon, empowered by the Spirit of the Lord, pulled down the altar of Baal and broke the stronghold of idolatry in his father’s house (Judges 6:25–32).

4. GOD PULLS DOWN STRONGHOLDS THROUGH PRAYER AND PRAISE
Prayer and praise are spiritual weapons that activate the power of God to intervene in impossible situations. They are mighty instruments for demolishing satanic strongholds.

a) Prayer moves the hand of God (James 5:16) – The fervent prayer of a righteous person releases divine power that brings visible results and dismantles strongholds.

b) Persistent prayer breaks resistance (Luke 18:1–8) – Through consistent and unrelenting prayer, every opposition of darkness is broken, and breakthroughs are secured.

c) Praise brings down walls (Psalm 22:3) – God inhabits the praises of His people, and His presence in worship causes barriers and limitations to crumble.

d) Prayer and praise bring divine intervention (Acts 16:25–26) – When believers lift up their voices in prayer and songs of praise, heaven responds with deliverance and open doors.

Biblical Example: The walls of Jericho fell flat when Israel combined obedience, faith, and praise, pulling down a stronghold that stood against their inheritance (Joshua 6:1–20).

CONCLUSION:
Strongholds are real, but they are never greater than the Almighty God. The enemy may try to erect barriers against your progress, your family, your ministry, or your destiny, but none of them can withstand the power of God. He is the Mighty Warrior, the Word-Giver, the Spirit-empowerer, and the God who answers by prayer and praise.

Beloved, you do not need to live in bondage to any stronghold. As you hold on to the power of God’s Word, yield to the Holy Spirit, and engage in prayer and praise, every stronghold in your life will be shattered. Victory is your portion because you serve the God who pulls down strongholds.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, thank You because You are the Mighty Warrior who fights my battles.
2. Every stronghold of fear in my life, be pulled down in Jesus’ name.
3. Father, let the power of Your Word expose and destroy every hidden stronghold in me.
4. Holy Spirit, empower me to overcome every form of bondage.
5. Lord, arise and scatter every stronghold of darkness fighting my destiny.
6. Every generational stronghold in my family, break by the fire of the Holy Ghost.
7. By the anointing of the Spirit, let every yoke in my life be destroyed.
8. Lord, as I pray and praise, let every wall of Jericho around me collapse.
9. Father, grant me total and irreversible victory over every battle in my life.
10. I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. Every stronghold holding you captive is broken now in Jesus’ name!
2. You shall walk in freedom and complete victory from today!
3. No power of darkness shall prevail against your destiny!
4. The walls of limitation surrounding your life are falling down now!

9. You will no longer be hindered by ancestral or generational barriers!
10. From today, you will walk continually in the victory of Christ Jesus!

STANDING FIRM IN THE WILL OF GOD

STANDING FIRM IN THE WILL OF GOD

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Romans 12:2 — “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

Supporting Texts: Ephesians 5:17, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Hebrews 10:36, Matthew 7:21, Colossians 1:9

INTRODUCTION:
The will of God is the safest and most glorious place for a believer to be. It is the divine compass that directs our steps and ensures that our journey in life is not wasted. Many believers struggle because they have not aligned themselves fully with God’s will, preferring to follow human desires, cultural pressures, or personal ambitions. Yet, true peace and fulfilment can only be found in standing firm in what God desires.

To stand firm in the will of God means refusing to be shaken by trials, temptations, or worldly enticements. It means choosing obedience over compromise, trust over fear, and faith over doubt. Those who remain steadfast in His will inherit divine guidance, protection, and eternal rewards.

This message calls us to embrace God’s perfect will and to remain unshaken, no matter what life brings. Standing firm in His will is not always easy, but it is always rewarding.

1. UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD
To stand firm, we must first understand what God’s will entails.

a) God’s will is good, acceptable, and perfect (Romans 12:2). His will is never to destroy us but to prosper and establish us.

b) God reveals His will through His Word (Psalm 119:105). The Scriptures are a lamp to guide our path.

c) God’s will is progressive (Proverbs 4:18). He may not show us everything at once, but He leads step by step.

d) God’s will requires total surrender (Luke 22:42). Just as Jesus prayed, “Not my will, but thine be done.”

Biblical Example: Abraham obeyed God’s will by leaving his country and family (Genesis 12:1-4). Though uncertain of the future, he stood firm in faith.

2. HINDRANCES TO STANDING IN GOD’S WILL
There are obstacles that can pull believers away from the will of God.

a) Worldly distractions (1 John 2:15-16). Love for the world and its pleasures can derail God’s purpose.

b) Fear of men (Proverbs 29:25). Many abandon God’s will because they fear rejection, persecution, or mockery.

c) Impatience (Habakkuk 2:3). Some give up on God’s plan because it seems delayed.

d) Carnal desires (James 1:14-15). Yielding to fleshly desires often leads out of the will of God.

Biblical Example: Jonah ran from God’s will due to fear and disobedience (Jonah 1:1-3), but he later discovered the futility of resisting God.

3. BENEFITS OF STANDING FIRM IN THE WILL OF GOD
When we remain steadfast in God’s will, we enjoy divine blessings.

a) Divine protection (Psalm 91:1). Staying in His will keeps us under His covering.

b) Fulfilment of purpose (Jeremiah 29:11). God’s will guarantees an expected end.

c) Supernatural provision (Philippians 4:19). God meets the needs of those who walk in His ways.

d) Eternal reward (2 Timothy 4:7-8). Standing firm ensures a crown of righteousness.

Biblical Example: Daniel stood firm in God’s will, refusing to defile himself with the king’s meat (Daniel 1:8), and God exalted him.

4. HOW TO STAND FIRM IN THE WILL OF GOD
Practical steps are required to remain unshaken in God’s purpose.

a) Renew your mind daily (Romans 12:2). Constantly align your thoughts with God’s Word.

b) Cultivate a life of prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17). Prayer strengthens your resolve against compromise.

c) Walk in obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1). Obedience brings blessings and keeps you in His will.

d) Depend on the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). The Spirit guides into all truth and empowers you to stand

Biblical Example: Jesus stood firm in God’s will even unto death on the cross (Matthew 26:39), and today He is exalted above all.

5. CONSEQUENCES OF NOT STANDING IN THE WILL OF GOD
Refusing to stand firm in His will leads to regret and destruction.

a) Loss of divine covering (Psalm 91:9-10). Stepping out of God’s will exposes a person to danger.

b) Wasted efforts (John 15:5). Anything done outside His will bears no lasting fruit.

c) Spiritual dryness (Amos 8:11). Those who forsake His will experience emptiness and frustration.

d) Eternal loss (Matthew 7:21-23). Many will be rejected because they did not walk in God’s will.

Biblical Example: King Saul lost his throne because he refused to stand in God’s will (1 Samuel 15:22-23).

CONCLUSION:
Standing firm in the will of God requires faith, courage, and endurance. Though challenges may arise, God’s grace sustains those who choose His will above all else. The will of God is not always the easiest path, but it is always the best. As believers, we must reject distractions, embrace obedience, and allow the Holy Spirit to keep us steadfast until the end.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, help me to always discern and follow Your will.
2. Father, remove every distraction pulling me out of Your purpose.
3. Lord, give me the grace to remain steadfast in trials.
4. Father, let Your will be done in my life above my own desires.
5. Lord, destroy every spirit of impatience and compromise in me.
6. Father, shield me from the fear of men and empower me to stand boldly.
7. Lord, fill me with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom.
8. Father, align every area of my life to Your perfect plan.
9. Lord, grant me endurance to wait until Your promises manifest.
10. Father, keep me standing firm in Your will until I see You in glory.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You will not miss the will of God for your life!
2. Every distraction pulling you away from God’s plan is destroyed!
3. You will stand firm and unshaken in the face of trials!
4. God’s perfect will for your destiny shall be fulfilled speedily!
5. No fear of men shall derail your divine purpose!
6. Every delay in your life shall turn into divine acceleration!
7. You will enjoy divine protection as you walk in God’s will!
8. Your obedience will unlock uncommon blessings!
9. You will finish strong and receive your eternal crown!
10. From today, you will walk boldly and steadfastly in the centre of God’s will!

POWER AGAINST SATANIC EXCHANGE

POWER AGAINST SATANIC EXCHANGE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 1 Kings 3:16-28

Supporting Texts: Genesis 30:1-3, Exodus 1:16, Numbers 5:12-31, Isaiah 54:17, Romans 8:37

DESCRIPTION:
This message teaches how to recognise, resist, and overcome satanic exchanges that attempt to steal, swap, or destroy your God-given blessings.

INTRODUCTION:
Satan is a thief and a manipulator who often attempts to exchange your blessings with substitutes that bring loss, shame, or delay. In the natural, this could look like lost opportunities, stolen ideas, or hijacked destinies, but in the spiritual, it is often much more sinister. The Bible reveals that even in the lives of God’s people, satanic forces try to swap the good for the counterfeit.

The story of the two women who came before Solomon illustrates this principle vividly. One woman deliberately exchanged her dead baby with the living child of another woman while she was asleep. She sought to claim what was not hers. However, Solomon, endowed with divine wisdom, discerned the truth and restored the stolen child to its rightful mother.

This sermon will reveal the strategies to combat such satanic exchanges in your life and reclaim your blessings, destiny, and glory.

1. RECOGNISING SATANIC EXCHANGE
Satanic exchange occurs when the enemy attempts to replace your blessing with loss, delay, or counterfeit.

a) Exchange through envy (Genesis 30:1-3): Just as Rachel envied Leah’s children, envy can lead to attempts to swap your rightful blessings.

b) Exchange through manipulation (1 Kings 3:23): The woman manipulated circumstances to claim a child that was not hers.

c) Exchange through deceit (Exodus 1:16): Pharaoh sought to swap the blessing of Israel with oppression and death.

d) Exchange through neglect (Numbers 5:12-31): Lack of spiritual vigilance allows the enemy to perform exchanges undetected.

Biblical Example: Solomon discerned the satanic exchange between the two women and restored the child to its rightful mother (1 Kings 3:27).

2. THE STRATEGY OF THE ENEMY
Understanding how the enemy operates is key to resisting exchanges.

a) Deception: The enemy tries to make you accept substitutes (2 Corinthians 11:14).

b) Theft: He steals your blessings and replaces them with loss (John 10:10).

c) Delay: Satan can swap immediate fulfilment with prolonged waiting or frustration (Psalm 37:7).

d) Confusion: He creates conflict to blur your discernment and delay restoration (1 Kings 3:24-25).

Biblical Example: The woman’s attempt to swap the babies was a direct strategy to steal a blessing, but God’s wisdom intervened.

3. DIVINE COUNTERMEASURES AGAINST SATANIC EXCHANGE
You must fight spiritually to reverse satanic exchanges.

a) Prayer for discernment (James 1:5): God’s wisdom exposes hidden manipulations.

b) Confession and obedience (Proverbs 28:13): Walking in righteousness protects against spiritual deception.

c) Prophetic declaration (Isaiah 54:17): “No weapon formed against you shall prosper” ensures stolen blessings are restored.

d) Faith and vigilance (1 Peter 5:8-9): Watchfulness prevents the enemy from hijacking your destiny.

Biblical Example: Solomon’s wisdom delivered the child from a satanic exchange, restoring justice and truth (1 Kings 3:27).

4. RECLAIMING STOLEN BLESSINGS
God’s power restores everything the enemy has attempted to steal.

a) Speak life into stolen destinies (Job 22:28): Authority in your words releases what has been withheld.

b) Reject substitutes (Galatians 1:10): Do not accept what the enemy offers as a replacement.

c) Engage in spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:12-13): Fight principalities seeking to exchange your blessings.

d) Celebrate restoration (Psalm 126:5-6): Praise God when He restores what was lost.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s blessings were preserved despite his brothers’ attempts to replace him with death and slavery (Genesis 50:20).

5. MAINTAINING THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR BLESSINGS
Once restored, your blessings must be protected against further exchanges.

a) Continual prayer (Daniel 6:10): Persistence ensures protection over your destiny.

b) Guarding relationships (Proverbs 13:20): Keep trusted people close to prevent betrayal.

c) Accountability and counsel (Proverbs 11:14): Wise counsel helps maintain the original blessings.

d) Faithfulness in obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1-2): Obedience preserves the integrity of God’s gifts.

Biblical Example: David maintained the blessings God had given him by walking in faith and godly counsel (1 Samuel 16:13).

CONCLUSION:
Satanic exchanges are real, but they are not invincible. God’s wisdom, prayer, and authority can expose, reverse, and destroy them. Just as Solomon discerned the truth and restored the child, God will restore every stolen blessing in your life.

Remain vigilant, walk in holiness, and declare God’s word over your life. Every substitution, loss, or deception orchestrated by the enemy shall be overturned, and your original blessings and destiny shall be fully restored.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, expose every satanic exchange in my life and reverse it.
2. I command every stolen blessing to be restored by fire.
3. Every substitute the enemy has attempted to give me, be rejected in Jesus’ name.
4. Father, give me wisdom to discern every satanic plot.
5. Every evil attempt to swap my destiny, be frustrated now.
6. Lord, restore every stolen glory, favour, and blessing.
7. I break every chain that delays my divine manifestation.
8. O Lord, let justice prevail over every exchange in my life.
9. I decree that every lost opportunity is returned with increase.
10. Father, let Your power deliver me from every satanic exchange.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. Every satanic exchange in your life shall be exposed and reversed!
2. Your original blessings shall be restored double-fold!
3. No substitute shall remain where God’s true blessing belongs!
4. Every hidden enemy plot against your destiny shall fail!
5. Your glory, favour, and honour shall be fully released!
6. The Lord shall protect your blessings from further manipulation!
7. Every stolen assignment shall return to you in abundance!
8. Your destiny shall manifest exactly as God ordained!
9. Every attempt to exchange your God-given life shall be destroyed!
10. From today, your blessings shall shine brightly and cannot be stolen!

MY GLORY MUST BE RELEASED

MY GLORY MUST BE RELEASED

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 60:1 — “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.”

Supporting Texts: Psalm 3:3, Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:18, Haggai 2:9, 1 Peter 5:10

INTRODUCTION:
Glory is the divine deposit of God upon a man’s life. It is the beauty, honour, and splendour that God has ordained for every child of destiny. When a man’s glory is shining, his life commands respect, influence, and divine recognition. However, many destinies are under satanic attack, with their glory buried, covered, or delayed. That is why prayers for the release of one’s glory are crucial.

The enemy fights the glory of men because he knows that once your glory is revealed, your destiny will manifest, and you will walk in divine fulfilment. But in Christ, every hidden glory can be restored, every stolen virtue can be recovered, and every delayed manifestation can be accelerated.

This message comes as a prophetic declaration that no matter what the enemy has done, your glory must be released by the power of God.

1. UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF GLORY
Glory is not ordinary; it is a heavenly deposit upon a man’s life.

a) Glory as divine covering (Exodus 33:18-23): The glory of God clothes a man with honour and protection.

b) Glory as destiny fulfilment (Jeremiah 1:5): Before you were born, God ordained your destiny and glory.

c) Glory as shining light (Matthew 5:14-16): The glory of God manifests as shining light in a dark world.

d) Glory as divine distinction (Genesis 37:5-9): Glory separates you from the crowd and positions you for greatness.

Biblical Example: Joseph carried glory from childhood, but it was delayed and attacked before finally being revealed in Egypt.

2. ENEMIES OF GLORY
Satan deploys several weapons to hinder, cover, or delay glory.

a) Sin (Romans 3:23): Sin disconnects man from the glory of God.

b) Evil altars (Judges 6:25-28): Altars can contend with one’s rising.

c) Household wickedness (Micah 7:6): Household enemies often attack one’s glory.

d) Glory exchangers (Isaiah 61:7): The devil attempts to swap glory with shame.

Biblical Example: Samson was destined for greatness, but sin and disobedience brought his glory down until mercy restored him.

3. KEYS TO THE RELEASE OF GLORY
For glory to be released, certain spiritual steps must be taken.

a) Prayer and warfare (Matthew 11:12): Glory must be enforced by violent prayers.

b) Holiness and obedience (Isaiah 1:19): Walking in obedience secures divine glory.

c) Faith in God’s promises (Hebrews 11:1): Faith pulls glory from the realm of the unseen to reality.

d) Prophetic declarations (Ezekiel 37:7): Prophetic words release hidden glory.

Biblical Example: Hannah travailed in prayer until her glory was released through the birth of Samuel.

4. DIVINE INTERVENTION FOR GLORY RESTORATION
God intervenes to restore lost or delayed glory.

a) God is the lifter of glory (Psalm 3:3): He lifts the heads of His children.

b) God reverses shame into glory (Isaiah 61:7): Where shame once existed, double glory shall manifest.

c) God restores wasted years (Joel 2:25): Whatever the enemy has eaten, God restores.

d) God beautifies His children (Psalm 149:4): He crowns the humble with salvation and glory.

Biblical Example: Job lost everything, but God restored his glory double-fold (Job 42:10).

5. THE MANIFESTATION OF GLORY
When glory is released, it becomes evident to all.

a) Glory brings honour (Proverbs 3:35): The wise inherit glory.

b) Glory brings relevance (Isaiah 60:15): You will no longer be forsaken but called the joy of many generations.

c) Glory brings fruitfulness (John 15:8): God is glorified when His children bear much fruit.

d) Glory brings divine lifting (1 Samuel 2:8): God lifts the poor out of the dust and sets them among princes.

Biblical Example: David’s glory was hidden in the wilderness, but God revealed it and lifted him to the throne of Israel.

CONCLUSION:
Your glory is your divine identity and heavenly investment. It must not remain buried, exchanged, or delayed. As long as God lives, your glory must be released. Through prayer, holiness, faith, and divine intervention, the Lord will cause your glory to shine forth. The time to arise and shine has come because your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for the glory You have deposited in my life.

2. Every power covering my glory, be destroyed by fire in Jesus’ name.
