OUTSTANDING TESTIMONIES

OUTSTANDING TESTIMONIES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 126:1-3

Supporting Texts: Revelation 12:11, Isaiah 43:18-19, Mark 5:25-34, John 11:40, Hebrews 11:1

INTRODUCTION:
Testimonies are more than personal stories—they are divine evidence of God's power at work in the lives of His people. When God turns around a situation, He does so in a way that leaves no doubt it was His hand. Outstanding testimonies are those that cause others to marvel, and even unbelievers to acknowledge the reality of God. They lift our faith, silence our accusers, and usher in new dimensions of glory.

Psalm 126 reveals the joy and wonder of God’s people when He brought them out of captivity. Their testimony was so profound that even the heathen said, “The Lord has done great things for them.” This is the kind of testimony God desires to give you—not something ordinary or explainable by logic, but something extraordinary that draws attention to His greatness.

God still gives outstanding testimonies today. He delights in surprising His children and making their lives a wonder to others. This sermon encourages you to position yourself in faith and obedience, for your story is about to change, and your testimony will be a loud announcement of God’s glory.

1. OUTSTANDING TESTIMONIES BEGIN WITH DIVINE INTERVENTION
Outstanding testimonies happen when God steps into a hopeless or humanly impossible situation. His intervention brings dramatic and undeniable change.

a) God specialises in impossible cases (Luke 1:37): When man’s ability ends, God’s power begins.

b) Divine encounters change destinies (Exodus 3:1-10): One moment with God can rewrite your entire story.

c) God's power nullifies natural limitations (Romans 4:19-21): He doesn't need favourable conditions to act.

d) His timing is perfect for maximum impact (Ecclesiastes 3:11): God shows up when it will bring the greatest glory to His name.

Biblical Example: Lazarus was dead for four days, but when Jesus came, the testimony shocked the community (John 11:43-45).

2. FAITH ACTIVATES OUTSTANDING TESTIMONIES
Faith is the bridge between your present and the miraculous. It is the fuel that moves the hand of God to perform wonders in your life.

a) Faith sees what is not yet visible (Hebrews 11:1): It believes the promise before the evidence shows.

b) Faith provokes divine attention (Mark 10:47-52): Blind Bartimaeus' cry of faith stopped Jesus in His tracks.

c) Faith breaks protocols (Mark 5:27-29): The woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd to touch Jesus.

d) Faith speaks boldly and acts expectantly (2 Corinthians 4:13): It does not wait for signs; it speaks them into existence.

Biblical Example: The centurion’s faith caused Jesus to declare, “I have not found such great faith in Israel” (Matthew 8:5-13).

3. OBEDIENCE POSITIONS YOU FOR OUTSTANDING TESTIMONIES
God honours obedience because it is a sign of trust and surrender. Miracles are often on the other side of a step of obedience.

a) Obedience opens the door for divine direction (Isaiah 1:19): Willing and obedient hearts eat the best of the land.

b) Instructions are often keys to manifestation (John 2:5): The miracle of water into wine began with simple obedience.

c) Partial obedience delays testimonies (1 Samuel 15:22-23): God requires total obedience, not selective compliance.

d) Obedience often requires sacrifice (Genesis 22:2-14): Abraham’s willingness to offer Isaac unlocked generational blessings.

Biblical Example: Naaman’s obedience to Elisha’s instruction—even when it seemed foolish—brought a dramatic testimony of healing (2 Kings 5:1-14).

4. GOD GIVES TESTIMONIES THAT SILENCE MOCKERS
When God moves, He makes a public statement through your life that shuts the mouths of those who ridiculed you.

a) God uses your testimony as a weapon (Revelation 12:11): It defeats the accuser and strengthens the brethren.

b) Mockery is often a sign that a testimony is near (1 Samuel 1:6-7): Hannah was mocked before her miracle.

c) God turns shame into celebration (Isaiah 61:7): For every insult, He gives a double honour.

d) Testimonies are divine answers to human questions (John 9:1-3): When people question your situation, your testimony will be God's reply.

Biblical Example: Sarah’s laughter turned from mockery to joy when she bore Isaac, and she said, “God has made me to laugh” (Genesis 21:6-7).

5. OUTSTANDING TESTIMONIES GLORIFY GOD AND ENCOURAGE OTHERS
The ultimate purpose of testimonies is to glorify God and build the faith of others. When God lifts you, it’s not just for you—it’s for His name and His people.

a) Testimonies reveal God’s faithfulness (Psalm 105:1-5): They are reminders that God keeps His word.

b) Testimonies inspire others to believe (Revelation 19:10): The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy—it can happen again.

c) God uses your story to draw others to Him (John 4:39): The woman at the well became a soul-winner through her testimony.

d) You become a living epistle of God's power (2 Corinthians 3:2-3): Your life tells a story of what God can do.

Biblical Example: The man healed at the Beautiful Gate walked, leapt, and praised God, causing others to glorify God (Acts 3:8-10).

CONCLUSION:
God is not finished with your story. No matter what has happened in the past, He is able to give you a testimony so outstanding that it will make your mouth fill with laughter and your eyes with tears of joy. There is no situation too dead, no pain too deep, and no delay too long that God cannot turn around.

Get ready, because your outstanding testimony is on the way. All God requires is your faith, your obedience, and your willingness to give Him glory. When God steps in, even your enemies will testify that the Lord has done great things for you. Amen!

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, step into my situation and give me an outstanding testimony.
2. Father, let my life glorify You through undeniable miracles.
3. Every power blocking my testimony, be destroyed in Jesus' name.
4. Lord, increase my faith to believe You for the impossible.
5. Give me divine instructions and grace to obey them.
6. Turn every mockery in my life into a miracle.
7. Announce Your glory in my life through supernatural breakthroughs.
8. I receive a testimony that will encourage others.
9. Let my story change for the better, starting today.
10. My season of outstanding testimonies has begun in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You will testify in a way that will shock your generation.
2. Your story is changing from pain to praise.
3. Every closed door is opening for your testimony to manifest.
4. Those who mocked you will congratulate you.
5. You are stepping into a new season of divine turnarounds.
6. Your faith will produce results beyond expectations.
7. The Lord will use your life as proof of His power.
8. God is putting laughter in your mouth and a song in your heart.
9. You will not miss your moment of divine visitation.
10. Your testimony will be outstanding, undeniable, and unforgettable.

FROM STRUGGLING TO OVERFLOW

FROM STRUGGLING TO OVERFLOW

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Luke 5:1-7

Supporting Texts: Psalm 126:1-6, Joel 2:25-27, Deuteronomy 28:11-12, John 21:3-6

INTRODUCTION:
Struggling can wear a person down—not just physically but also mentally and spiritually. Many sincere believers find themselves in situations where they are putting in all the effort, yet seeing no reward. They labour tirelessly, invest their time and energy, and pour out their hearts, but nothing seems to yield fruit. This was the case with Peter, a professional fisherman, who had toiled all night without catching a single fish. But something changed the moment Jesus stepped into his boat.

When Jesus becomes the centre of your efforts—your career, ministry, business, or personal life—everything changes. His presence brings direction, favour, and abundance. Struggles cease when Jesus takes the lead. This message is an invitation to surrender your empty nets to Him and receive divine overflow.

1. ACKNOWLEDGE THE FRUSTRATION OF STRUGGLING

There must be a recognition of the weariness that struggling brings before one can experience a turnaround.

a) Struggling brings weariness – Prolonged effort without visible results can be draining. Peter had laboured all night and was physically exhausted (Luke 5:5). Like Peter, many are washing their nets today—cleaning up after another fruitless attempt at life’s pursuits.

b) Struggling without results affects faith – Repeated failure begins to erode confidence. Over time, it can make you question your calling, your competence, or even God’s promises. Faith begins to waver when success seems elusive.

c) Struggling in isolation is dangerous – Before Jesus arrived, Peter was alone in his frustration. Isolation during seasons of struggle can breed discouragement and despair. It’s in such moments that the enemy whispers lies.

d) Struggling without God leads to futility – Any effort that lacks God’s guidance and blessing is bound to be unproductive. Psalm 127:1 declares, “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.” Human effort, no matter how intense, is limited without divine involvement.

Biblical Example: The Israelites in Egypt were subjected to hard labour and bitter bondage, but their struggle only ended when God intervened with a mighty hand (Exodus 1:13-14; Exodus 3:7-8).

2. INVITE JESUS INTO YOUR BOAT

Transformation begins the moment we allow Jesus into the centre of our efforts.

a) Jesus brings direction and clarity – He told Peter exactly where and how to fish (Luke 5:4). Divine guidance replaces guesswork when Jesus is in the boat. Confusion gives way to clarity when He takes control.

b) Jesus brings divine favour – His presence alone makes the difference. With Jesus in your boat, doors open that were once closed. Like Joseph, who prospered because “the Lord was with him” (Genesis 39:2), divine presence guarantees success.

c) Obedience to His word releases miracles – Peter didn’t argue. He responded, “Nevertheless at thy word…” (Luke 5:5). That simple act of obedience unlocked a miracle. Many remain in struggle simply because they haven’t obeyed His voice.

d) Jesus turns ordinary efforts into extraordinary results – Peter used the same net, the same boat, and the same waters—but the results were different because Jesus was involved. God doesn’t always change the tools, He anoints them.

Biblical Example: At the wedding in Cana, Jesus transformed water into wine only after He was invited. What was about to be an embarrassing moment turned into a glorious celebration because Jesus was present (John 2:1-11).

3. FOLLOW DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS EVEN WHEN IT DEFIES LOGIC

Divine instructions often seem irrational to the natural mind, but they carry the power for breakthrough.

a) Divine instructions may not make sense – Peter, an experienced fisherman, knew it was pointless to fish in the daytime. Yet, Jesus told him to launch out then. Obedience sometimes requires doing what seems illogical.

b) Obedience activates the supernatural – The moment Peter obeyed, a miraculous catch occurred. When we act on God’s word, even without full understanding, heaven responds with power.

c) Faith requires humility – Peter had to lay aside his professional knowledge and yield to the command of a carpenter. Faith often means trusting God beyond your experience and expertise.

d) God uses foolish things to confound the wise – What appears foolish or unreasonable to man often becomes the stage for God’s greatest works (1 Corinthians 1:27). Trusting divine wisdom over human logic is the key to victory.

Biblical Example: Naaman was a respected military commander, but his healing came through a strange command—dipping seven times in the Jordan River. Though it seemed foolish, it worked because it was divine (2 Kings 5:10-14).

4. GOD TURNS STRUGGLING INTO OVERFLOW

God not only delivers us from struggle—He ushers us into an overwhelming abundance.

a) The result of obedience is abundance – Peter’s net could not contain the catch. His obedience brought him into a realm of more than enough (Luke 5:6).

b) God specialises in sudden turnarounds – In one moment, Peter went from empty nets to overflowing boats. Your turnaround may not take years—it could be just one word away.

c) Overflow becomes a testimony to others – Peter had to call his partners to help. When God blesses you, it overflows into the lives of others. Your miracle becomes someone else’s encouragement.

d) God turns your place of shame into a platform for glory – The very boat that once carried disappointment became the pulpit for a miracle. God uses what once brought you pain to bring you honour.

Biblical Example: Ruth arrived in Bethlehem as a poor widow gleaning leftover grain, but by divine arrangement, she became the owner of the field through Boaz. Her story moved from survival to significance (Ruth 4:13-17).

CONCLUSION:
There comes a divine moment when struggling must cease. For Peter, it was when Jesus stepped into his boat. The same Jesus is still stepping into lives today, bringing rest, clarity, and overflow. The struggles of yesterday don’t have to continue into today. You don’t have to live in frustration when abundance is God’s will for your life.

If you will acknowledge your struggle, invite Jesus in, obey His instructions—even when they defy logic—then prepare yourself for a miracle of overflow. Your season of struggle is ending, and a new season of supernatural abundance is beginning!

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Lord, I surrender every area of struggle in my life to You.

2.  Jesus, step into my boat and take control of my efforts.

3.  I reject fruitless labour and cycles of failure in my destiny.

4.  Let Your divine instructions guide me to breakthrough and prosperity.

5.  Father, turn my frustration into fulfilment and joy.

6.  Open doors of abundance and close every gate of scarcity.

7.  Break every generational curse of stagnation and delay.

8.  I receive divine favour in my work, family, and ministry.

9.  Let my life become a testimony of supernatural turnaround.

10. Thank You, Lord, for shifting me from struggling to overflowing!

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:

1.  Your season of fruitless labour is permanently over!

2.  Jesus is taking control of your boat—your efforts will now yield results.

3.  What did not work before will begin to work by divine instruction.

4.  You shall experience net-breaking, boat-sinking miracles this season.

5.  Helpers will rush to support the harvest God is bringing into your hands.

6.  Your shame is being replaced by honour and supernatural testimony.

7.  You will no longer labour in vain or bring forth for trouble.

8.  The power of divine favour will multiply your results.

9.  Where you struggled before, you will now flourish beyond expectation.

10.  Overflow is your portion from today onward in Jesus’ name!

OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL WEAKNESS

OVERCOMING SPIRITUAL WEAKNESS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 40:31

Supporting Texts: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, Romans 8:26, Ephesians 6:10, Hebrews 12:12-13, Psalm 73:26

INTRODUCTION:
Spiritual weakness is a condition that every believer encounters at different stages in their walk with God. It is not necessarily a sign of sin, but often a result of prolonged trials, discouragement, weariness in battle, unanswered prayers, or lack of spiritual nourishment. Even the strongest Christians have moments when their spiritual energy seems depleted, their fire burns low, and they feel unable to go forward.

Isaiah 40:31 gives us hope: "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength..." This is a divine promise that spiritual weakness is not final. God provides renewal for those who seek Him. Through prayer, the Word, worship, and waiting on God, our inner man can be strengthened again. The power of God becomes most visible when we admit our weakness and lean on Him completely.

Today’s message will teach us how to recognise spiritual weakness, its causes, and, most importantly, how to overcome it through God’s provision, grace, and power. Victory is possible when we connect with the divine source of strength.

1. RECOGNISE THE SIGNS OF SPIRITUAL WEAKNESS

a) Loss of spiritual appetite (Amos 8:11)
When the desire for God’s Word fades, it's often a symptom of inner weakness and spiritual hunger.

b) Inconsistent prayer life (Luke 18:1)
A struggling prayer life often reflects a disconnect from the power source—God.

c) Discouragement and weariness (Galatians 6:9)
Spiritual weakness leads to emotional and mental fatigue, which can make you feel like giving up.

d) Struggling with sin and temptation (Romans 7:19-24)
When you are spiritually weak, temptation seems stronger and more difficult to resist.

Biblical Example: Elijah, after great victory on Mount Carmel, felt weak and depressed, even asking God to take his life (1 Kings 19:1-4).

2. RELY ON GOD’S STRENGTH, NOT YOURS

a) God’s strength is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9)
When you admit your weakness, you invite God’s power into your situation.

b) Human strength fails, but God’s doesn’t (Psalm 73:26)
No matter how strong you are physically or emotionally, only God's strength sustains spiritually.

c) Waiting on God renews your strength (Isaiah 40:31)
Those who learn to tarry in God's presence will be divinely recharged.

d) The Holy Spirit helps our infirmities (Romans 8:26)
When you don’t know what to pray, the Spirit intercedes for you.

Biblical Example: Paul overcame spiritual and physical challenges by relying fully on God's grace and strength (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

3. FEED DAILY ON GOD’S WORD

a) God’s Word is food for the soul (Matthew 4:4)
Just as the body needs food, the spirit needs God’s Word to stay strong.

b) Meditation brings strength and stability (Psalm 1:2-3)
Regular reflection on Scripture empowers and strengthens the inner man.

c) God’s promises build faith (Romans 10:17)
Reading the Word fuels your faith to overcome weakness and fear.

d) The Word is a sword against the enemy (Ephesians 6:17)
When spiritually weak, wielding the Word is your defence and offence.

Biblical Example: Jesus overcame temptation in the wilderness by declaring the written Word (Matthew 4:1-11).

4. ENGAGE IN FERVENT PRAYER AND WORSHIP

a) Prayer strengthens your spirit (Jude 1:20)
Praying in the Holy Ghost builds up your inner strength and resistance to spiritual fatigue.

b) Worship renews and uplifts the soul (Isaiah 61:3)
Praise replaces heaviness with joy and fresh strength from God.

c) Prayer connects you to divine help (Hebrews 4:16)
When weak, approach the throne of grace to find mercy and strength in time of need.

d) Prayer releases power for victory (James 5:16b)
Fervent prayers are powerful tools that restore spiritual fire.

Biblical Example: Hannah, though bitter in soul, regained strength through heartfelt prayer (1 Samuel 1:9-18).

5. FELLOWSHIP AND ACCOUNTABILITY ARE KEY

a) Fellowship provides encouragement (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Being around other believers stirs up your faith and spiritual zeal.

b) Accountability strengthens resolve (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)
You are less likely to fall when someone walks with you and lifts you up.

c) Isolation increases weakness (Proverbs 18:1)
Spiritual weakness grows in loneliness, but strength multiplies in fellowship.

d) Corporate worship brings fresh fire (Acts 4:31)
When believers gather and pray, strength and boldness are renewed.

Biblical Example: The early church remained strong by meeting often, praying together, and sharing in unity (Acts 2:42-47).

CONCLUSION:
Spiritual weakness is not a sign of failure but a call to return to the source of our strength—God. Even the greatest saints faced moments of spiritual weariness, but they overcame by trusting in the Lord. When we choose to wait upon the Lord, feed on His Word, pray with passion, worship in truth, and stay connected with the body of Christ, we will soar again like eagles.

Do not accept weakness as your permanent condition. God has made provision for your renewal. Rise up, rekindle your spiritual fire, and walk in the strength that only God can provide. Your strength shall be renewed in Jesus' name!

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, renew my strength and set my heart on fire again.
2. Father, deliver me from spiritual dryness and weakness.
3. Restore my hunger for Your Word and Your presence.
4. Help me to wait patiently in Your presence and not grow weary.
5. Fill me with fresh grace to overcome temptation.
6. Let my prayer life be revived by the power of the Holy Spirit.
7. Father, remove every spirit of discouragement from my life.
8. Surround me with godly fellowship that will strengthen me.
9. Let Your joy become my strength in every area of life.
10. I receive divine strength to finish my race strong in Jesus’ name.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You will rise again with new strength and spiritual fire.
2. Every area of weakness in your life is turning into strength.
3. The Holy Spirit will quicken your spirit afresh.
4. Your prayer altar will burn with fresh passion.
5. You will no longer walk in weariness but in divine energy.
6. The joy of the Lord will be your strength daily.
7. You are overcoming every battle that tried to drain you.
8. You will soar above limitations like the eagle.
9. Your inner man is being fortified by God’s grace.
10. You are strong, empowered, and unstoppable in Jesus’ name!

JUNE: MONTH OF SUPERNATURAL RESULTS

JUNE: MONTH OF SUPERNATURAL RESULTS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Luke 5:1-7

Supporting Texts: Matthew 19:26, John 15:5, Philippians 4:13, Isaiah 41:10

INTRODUCTION:
As we enter the month of June, God is declaring that this shall be a month of Supernatural Results. Supernatural results are not the outcome of human effort alone, but the visible manifestation of God's power, favour, and intervention in our affairs. It is when what was once impossible becomes possible, when toiling gives way to triumph, and when delays are converted to divine speed.

In Luke 5, Peter had toiled all night and caught nothing. Yet at the word of Jesus, he experienced an overflow that broke his nets. This is what happens when God steps into our situation. The natural becomes supernatural, and what has defied human solution bows to divine instruction.

This month, God wants to show forth His glory in your life in ways you have never seen. Get ready to witness supernatural answers, breakthroughs, restorations, and turnarounds. Let’s consider how to position ourselves for supernatural results.

1. OBEDIENCE TO DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS

a) Divine instructions override logic (Luke 5:4):
Jesus told Peter to launch into the deep, even when it made no sense to a seasoned fisherman.

b) Partial obedience hinders supernatural release (1 Samuel 15:22):
God honours full obedience, not selective compliance.

c) God's word carries creative power (Isaiah 55:11):
When you act on God’s word, it never returns void.

d) Obedience activates divine involvement (Deuteronomy 28:1-2):
When you obey, heaven backs your actions with power.

Biblical Example: Naaman’s healing came through simple but complete obedience to Elisha’s instructions (2 Kings 5:10-14).

2. PARTNERSHIP WITH JESUS

a) Supernatural results begin with surrender (Luke 5:3):
Peter gave Jesus his boat—his business. Surrender invites Jesus in.

b) Jesus must be the centre of your life (John 15:5):
Without Him, we can do nothing. With Him, fruitfulness is assured.

c) Divine partnership brings divine direction (Proverbs 3:5-6):
Acknowledging God leads to right paths and open doors.

d) God blesses what is placed in His hands (Exodus 4:2-3):
When we give God what we have, He multiplies it supernaturally.

Biblical Example: The boy’s five loaves and two fish fed thousands when surrendered to Jesus (John 6:9-13).

3. PERSISTENCE IN FAITH AND EXPECTATION

a) Do not give up because of past failures (Luke 5:5):
Peter initially had nothing to show, but still said, "Nevertheless at Your word."

b) Faith looks beyond the natural (Hebrews 11:1):
Faith sees the invisible and expects the impossible.

c) Expectation is the womb of manifestation (Proverbs 23:18):
Your strong expectation pulls divine manifestation into reality.

d) Delay is not denial (Habakkuk 2:3):
What God has promised, He will bring to pass at the appointed time.

Biblical Example: The woman with the issue of blood persisted in faith and got her miracle (Mark 5:25-34).

4. CAPACITY TO RECEIVE ABUNDANCE

a) Prepare for what you are praying for (Isaiah 54:2-3):
Enlarge your tent and make room for the blessing.

b) God blesses according to your capacity (2 Kings 4:3-6):
The oil stopped flowing when there were no more vessels.

c) Supernatural increase requires wise stewardship (Luke 16:10):
God promotes those who are faithful with little.

d) Expect overflow, not just survival (Ephesians 3:20):
God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above what we ask or imagine.

Biblical Example: The widow in 1 Kings 17 received a supply that never ran out because she made room for the prophet.

CONCLUSION:
This month, God is set to do extraordinary things in your life. But supernatural results do not come by chance—they come by positioning yourself through obedience, surrender, faith, and preparation. Refuse to settle for a life of spiritual dryness or fruitless labour.

As you yield to God, expect an avalanche of results that will glorify His name. The God who turned Peter’s empty nets into overflowing ones will turn your story around this month. Declare it boldly: “June is my month of Supernatural Results!”

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, I surrender every area of my life to You this month.
2. Father, help me to obey Your instructions without hesitation.
3. Let every area of fruitlessness in my life become fruitful.
4. I receive divine direction and clarity this month.
5. Every delay in my life is turned into divine speed.
6. Lord, enlarge my capacity to receive Your blessings.
7. Connect me with the right opportunities this month.
8. Let supernatural doors open for me in unexpected places.
9. Lord, multiply the works of my hands with divine favour.
10. I receive the grace to walk in supernatural results all month.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. This month, you will experience what no effort could give you.
2. Your empty places are turning into overflow zones.
3. The Lord will open rivers in your dry land.
4. You will testify of divine turnarounds in Jesus’ name.
5. You will walk in uncommon favour and fruitfulness.
6. Doors of supernatural results are opening before you.
7. Everything you touch this month shall prosper.
8. You will not labour in vain anymore.
9. God will shock your enemies with undeniable results.
10. June shall answer to you with testimonies of abundance!

THE MIRACLE OF GOD'S UNSEEN PATHWAYS

THE MIRACLE OF GOD'S UNSEEN PATHWAYS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 43:19

Supporting Texts: Exodus 14:21-22, Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 77:19, 2 Kings 7:3-9

INTRODUCTION:
God specialises in making a way where there seems to be no way. His pathways are often hidden from human understanding, but they are sure, miraculous, and full of power. When man sees impossibility, God sees an opportunity to reveal His sovereignty. Many times, we do not understand how God will do it, but we are called to trust that He will do it.

From the Red Sea to the wilderness, from the prison to the palace, God has always demonstrated His power by opening invisible doors and paving divine paths for His people. What seems like an end to man is often the beginning of God’s intervention.

This message reminds us that no matter how closed off or impossible your situation seems, God has unseen pathways that lead to deliverance, favour, and supernatural breakthroughs.

1. GOD MAKES A WAY WHERE THERE IS NO WAY
Even when you cannot see a route forward, God already has a plan in motion.

a) God opened the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21): What was a wall of water became a dry path for the Israelites.

b) God creates pathways in the wilderness (Isaiah 43:19): Even barren places can become channels of life.

c) Nothing limits God’s ability to deliver (Jeremiah 32:27): What is hard for man is easy for God.

d) God turns obstacles into miracles (Zechariah 4:7): Mountains become plains before Him.

Biblical Example: At the Red Sea, God parted the waters to provide an unseen escape for His people (Exodus 14:21-22).

2. GOD’S PATHWAYS REQUIRE TRUST, NOT EXPLANATION
His ways are higher than our ways and demand total reliance.

a) Trust in the Lord with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5): Don’t rely on what you see or understand.

b) Faith walks beyond sight (2 Corinthians 5:7): God’s leading often defies human logic.

c) Delay is not denial (Habakkuk 2:3): God’s timing is part of His path.

d) Obedience opens divine directions (Genesis 22:18): Abraham's obedience led to divine provision.

Biblical Example: Abraham followed God’s call without knowing where he was going and walked into divine purpose (Hebrews 11:8).

3. GOD USES UNUSUAL METHODS FOR SUPERNATURAL RESULTS
God’s ways may appear foolish to men, but they bring divine results.

a) God's methods are not predictable (Isaiah 55:8-9): He works in ways we cannot anticipate.

b) Divine instructions carry miraculous outcomes (John 2:5-10): Obeying God’s word leads to wonders.

c) God uses the least expected (1 Corinthians 1:27): The unlikely are His chosen vessels.

d) The supernatural often hides in the ordinary (2 Kings 4:2): A small jar of oil can birth abundance.

Biblical Example: God used four lepers to bring deliverance to an entire city (2 Kings 7:3-9).

4. GOD’S PATHWAYS BRING GLORY TO HIS NAME
Every miraculous path God creates is for His glory and your testimony.

a) God’s deliverance causes others to fear Him (Exodus 15:14-16): His acts are unforgettable.

b) Your testimony is someone else’s faith booster (Revelation 12:11): God glorifies Himself through your story.

c) When God steps in, man steps back (Psalm 115:1): The glory goes to God alone.

d) Divine intervention is a sign of God’s presence (Joshua 3:7): Miracles prove He is with you.

Biblical Example: After the Red Sea miracle, Pharaoh's army was destroyed, and Israel glorified God in song (Exodus 15:1-21).

CONCLUSION:
The miracle of God’s unseen pathways teaches us to trust Him when there is no visible option. He works behind the scenes, beyond human logic, and outside natural limitations. Don’t be discouraged by what you cannot see. Believe that God is already at work, carving out a path for your breakthrough. His miracles will bring glory to His name and establish His purpose in your life.

Even when the doors seem closed and the road is blocked, remember that your God walks through seas and makes rivers in deserts. Look up, trust Him, and walk forward in faith—His unseen pathway will soon be revealed.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, open my eyes to see the paths You’ve prepared for me.
2. Father, make a way for me where there seems to be no way.
3. I receive grace to trust You fully, even in uncertainty.
4. Every Red Sea before me, part by the power of God.
5. Let every obstacle become a miracle in my life.
6. Teach me to walk in obedience and faith.
7. Lord, bring divine surprises that exceed my expectations.
8. Use my life as a testimony of Your power and wisdom.
9. Deliver me from the fear of the unknown.
10. Let Your glory be revealed through every step I take.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You will walk through every impossibility with divine ease.
2. The God of miracles will surprise you with unseen breakthroughs.

THE GOD WHO SPECIALIZES IN MAKING A WAY

THE GOD WHO SPECIALIZES IN MAKING A WAY

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 43:16-19

Supporting Texts: Exodus 14:21-22, John 14:6, Romans 8:28, Psalm 77:19

INTRODUCTION:
Life often presents us with what seem to be impossible situations—moments when there appears to be no solution, no escape, and no future. In those times, we are reminded that we serve a God who specialises in making a way where there seems to be none. He does not need human logic or natural possibilities to act; He operates in the supernatural realm and always shows up in His power and glory.

Isaiah 43 reminds us that God is the One who makes a way in the sea and a path in the mighty waters. He is not intimidated by closed doors, dry seasons, or barren lands. Instead, He uses them as platforms to reveal His faithfulness and might. When men say it is over, God says, “I am doing a new thing.”

Today’s message is to inspire hope and renew faith in the God who still makes a way. No matter what obstacle stands before you, believe that God is already working behind the scenes to create a path for your breakthrough.

1. GOD MAKES A WAY IN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS
God’s specialty is showing up when all hope seems lost.

a) God opened the Red Sea for Israel (Exodus 14:21-22):
He created a dry path through the sea to deliver His people from bondage.

b) Nothing is too hard for God (Jeremiah 32:27):
There is no situation too complex or hopeless for Him to solve.

c) He brings water from the rock (Exodus 17:6):
Even in the wilderness, He provides in supernatural ways.

d) He turns closed doors into divine access (Revelation 3:8):
When God opens a door, no one can shut it.

Biblical Example: At the Red Sea, Israel saw no escape from Pharaoh’s army—yet God parted the waters and made a way (Exodus 14:13-22).

2. GOD MAKES A WAY THROUGH HIS SON JESUS
Jesus is not just a teacher or miracle worker—He is the Way Himself.

a) Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6):
Salvation and every lasting answer is found in Him.

b) He reconciles us to the Father (2 Corinthians 5:18):
Through Jesus, we are brought into right standing with God.

c) He makes a way for victory over sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:57):
Christ triumphed over death so we could walk in freedom.

d) Through Christ, we have access to grace and mercy (Hebrews 4:16):
We approach God boldly and find help in time of need.

Biblical Example: The death and resurrection of Jesus removed every barrier between man and God, becoming the new and living way (Hebrews 10:19-20).

3. GOD MAKES A WAY THROUGH DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS
Sometimes the miracle is hidden in an instruction.

a) Obedience unlocks divine direction (Isaiah 30:21):
When we obey, God leads us on the right path.

b) Divine instructions may seem foolish but lead to wonders (2 Kings 5:10):
Naaman almost missed his healing because the instruction seemed too simple.

c) God’s ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9):
His plans often surpass our understanding.

d) He reveals the way to those who seek Him (Proverbs 3:5-6):
Trusting God leads to the right direction in life.

Biblical Example: Jesus told Peter to cast the net on the right side of the boat, and it brought a great catch (John 21:6).

4. GOD MAKES A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS OF LIFE
Even in desolate and dry seasons, God shows His power.

a) He provides in the wilderness (Deuteronomy 2:7):
God sustained the Israelites for 40 years in the desert.

b) He brings streams in the desert (Isaiah 43:19):
New things emerge when God steps in.

c) Trials are opportunities for divine intervention (Romans 8:28):
God works all things for good to those who love Him.

d) He does not abandon His people (Psalm 94:14):
His presence is our comfort in difficult times.

Biblical Example: Hagar found a well in the wilderness when she thought all hope was lost (Genesis 21:15-19).

CONCLUSION:
Whatever roadblock, wilderness, or impossibility you may be facing, remember that God is not limited by your circumstances. He has the power, the wisdom, and the resources to make a way where there is no way. Trust in His timing, follow His leading, and rest in His promises.

He has done it before, and He will do it again. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No matter how difficult the path ahead seems, there is a way—because God is the Way-Maker.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, make a way for me where there seems to be no way.
2. Father, part every Red Sea before me and bring me into my breakthrough.

THE WAY MAKER NEVER FAILS

THE WAY MAKER NEVER FAILS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 43:16-19

Supporting Texts: Exodus 14:13-31, Psalm 77:19, John 14:6, Hebrews 10:23

INTRODUCTION:
Our God is not just a way maker; He is The Way Maker—the One who creates paths where there are none. Life sometimes presents situations where it seems like every door is shut and every road is blocked. At such moments, we must remember that God specialises in making a way even through impossibilities.

From Genesis to Revelation, we see the consistent truth: God has never failed and will never fail. His track record of deliverance, breakthrough, and provision reveals a God who is faithful, dependable, and consistent. When we face our Red Seas, Jericho walls, or wilderness seasons, He steps in with divine power to make a way.

Today’s message is a prophetic reminder that regardless of the difficulty you may be facing, the Way Maker is already working. He is never late, never confused, and never fails. He will show up for you!

1. GOD MAKES A WAY IN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS

a) He parts the sea for His children (Exodus 14:21-22):
God opened the Red Sea for Israel when there was no natural way forward.

b) He brings water out of the rock (Exodus 17:6):
In the wilderness, He made water flow from an impossible place.

c) He feeds multitudes supernaturally (Matthew 14:19-21):
Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed over five thousand.

d) He breaks prison doors for His servants (Acts 16:25-26):
Even prison walls cannot stop Him from making a way.

Biblical Example: When the Israelites were trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea, God made a highway through the waters (Exodus 14:13-31).

2. GOD'S WAYS ARE BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING

a) He works in mysterious ways (Isaiah 55:8-9):
His thoughts and ways are higher than ours.

b) He uses unlikely people and methods (1 Samuel 17:49-50):
A shepherd boy defeated a giant with a sling.

c) He makes delays become testimonies (John 11:43-44):
What looked like a delay in Lazarus’ case became a resurrection story.

d) He opens doors no one can shut (Revelation 3:8):
His authority cannot be challenged by any man.

Biblical Example: The fall of Jericho came not by war but by a divine strategy of marching and shouting (Joshua 6:1-20).

3. GOD’S FAITHFULNESS IS EVERLASTING

a) His promises never fail (Hebrews 10:23):
He who promised is faithful and true.

b) He keeps covenant to all generations (Deuteronomy 7:9):
He remembers His Word to your children and grandchildren.

c) He sustains in every season (Psalm 37:25):
David testified that he had never seen the righteous forsaken.

d) He completes what He starts (Philippians 1:6):
God is committed to finishing the good work He began in you.

Biblical Example: God promised Abraham a son, and though delayed, He fulfilled it at the appointed time (Genesis 21:1-3).

4. THE WAY MAKER IS ALWAYS ON TIME

a) He comes through at the appointed time (Ecclesiastes 3:11):
God makes all things beautiful in His time.

b) He is never too early or too late (John 2:1-11):
At the wedding in Cana, Jesus showed up just in time.

c) He uses time to build our faith (Romans 8:28):
Delays are divine setups for a greater testimony.

d) He strengthens us while we wait (Isaiah 40:31):
Waiting on God renews our strength and positions us for breakthrough.

Biblical Example: The lame man at the Beautiful Gate waited for years, but when his time came, healing came suddenly (Acts 3:1-10).

5. TRUSTING THE WAY MAKER BRINGS VICTORY

a) Faith activates divine intervention (Hebrews 11:6):
Without faith, it is impossible to please God.

b) Trust turns obstacles into testimonies (Proverbs 3:5-6):
When we trust God completely, He directs our paths.

c) Dependence on God releases supernatural help (Psalm 121:1-2):
Our help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.

d) Believers who trust God cannot be put to shame (Romans 10:11):
Those who put their confidence in Him will never be disappointed.

Biblical Example: The three Hebrew boys trusted God and walked out of the fire unharmed (Daniel 3:16-30).

CONCLUSION:
The same God who made a way in the Red Sea, brought down the walls of Jericho, fed multitudes, and raised the dead is still making ways today. The Way Maker has not changed, and He will not fail you. Whatever challenge you are facing, place your faith in Him and know that He is already working behind the scenes.

DIVINE ESCAPE ROUTES IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

DIVINE ESCAPE ROUTES IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 1 Corinthians 10:13

Supporting Texts: Psalm 91:1-3, Isaiah 43:2, Psalm 124:7-8, 2 Peter 2:9

INTRODUCTION:
Trouble is an inevitable part of life, but for the believer, trouble does not have the final say. The Bible assures us that God is not only aware of our trials but also makes a way of escape so we are not consumed. Just as He rescued His people in the past, He will do the same today. Our God specialises in creating divine escape routes when the enemy surrounds us and when it seems like there is no way out.

Sometimes, these escape routes are supernatural, and at other times, they come through divine wisdom, direction, or intervention. God does not promise a life without adversity, but He promises to be with us through the fire and through the flood. Our focus in this sermon is to explore how God delivers His children and the pathways He often uses to bring us out safely.

Today, be encouraged: no matter the trouble surrounding you—financial, emotional, spiritual, or physical—there is a divine escape route. You will not be trapped forever. God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

1. GOD PROVIDES SUPERNATURAL DELIVERANCE

God is able to break through any barrier to rescue His people supernaturally.

a) God sends angels to deliver His people (Psalm 34:7): Angels are ministering spirits sent to protect and deliver the righteous.

b) Divine intervention defies natural laws (Exodus 14:21-22): God made a way in the Red Sea where there was none.

c) Supernatural deliverance brings glory to God (Daniel 6:22): When God steps in, His name is glorified.

d) Trouble cannot consume those under divine protection (Isaiah 43:2): Even in the fire, God keeps His own safe.

Biblical Example: God delivered the three Hebrew boys from the fiery furnace without a single burn (Daniel 3:24-27).

2. GOD USES DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS TO BRING ESCAPE

Often, God gives simple instructions that become lifelines in times of crisis.

a) Obedience to divine direction guarantees safety (Genesis 26:1-6): Isaac obeyed and stayed in Gerar, and God preserved him.

b) God's Word is a lamp that guides us through dark times (Psalm 119:105): In confusion, God's Word provides clarity and safety.

c) Instructions may seem foolish, but they carry divine power (2 Kings 5:10): Naaman dipped in Jordan and was healed.

d) Divine guidance saves from traps and destruction (Proverbs 3:5-6): Trusting in God’s leading opens doors of escape.

Biblical Example: Joseph obeyed divine instructions in dreams and preserved his family from famine (Genesis 41:25-40).

3. GOD RAISES HUMAN HELPERS IN STRATEGIC TIMES

God often uses people as His instruments of deliverance and provision.

a) God places people in positions to help in crisis (Esther 4:14): You were born for such a time as this.

b) Helpers are divinely assigned to bring escape (Acts 9:25): Paul escaped danger by being lowered in a basket by his disciples.

c) Divine connections are part of God’s rescue plan (Ruth 2:3): Ruth met Boaz through divine arrangement.

d) Recognising divine helpers brings quick deliverance (1 Samuel 25:32-33): David was spared from bloodshed by Abigail’s wisdom.

Biblical Example: Mordecai and Esther were strategically placed for Israel’s deliverance (Esther 7:10).

4. PRAYER CREATES ESCAPE ROUTES

Persistent prayer unlocks divine intervention and angelic assistance.

a) Prayer invites God’s intervention (Acts 12:5-7): The church prayed and Peter was miraculously delivered from prison.

b) Prayer changes impossible situations (James 5:16): The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much.

c) Prayer strengthens us to endure until the way opens (Luke 22:43): An angel strengthened Jesus during His agony.

d) Through prayer, divine strategies are revealed (Jeremiah 33:3): God reveals secret escape routes in response to prayer.

Biblical Example: Jehoshaphat prayed and fasted, and God gave him a supernatural victory (2 Chronicles 20:1-22).

5. THE BLOOD OF JESUS SECURES OUR ESCAPE

The blood is our covering, our defence, and our divine passport to freedom.

a) The blood marks us for divine exemption (Exodus 12:13): When God sees the blood, destruction passes over.

b) The blood speaks better things than judgment (Hebrews 12:24): It declares mercy, protection, and deliverance.

c) The blood defeats the enemy’s accusations (Revelation 12:11): We overcome by the blood and the word of our testimony.

d) The blood guarantees covenant protection (Zechariah 9:11): Because of the blood covenant, captives are set free.

Biblical Example: The Israelites escaped the plague of death by applying the blood of the lamb (Exodus 12:21-30).

CONCLUSION:
No matter how severe the trouble may be, our God is a God of escape routes. He will not allow His children to be trapped or destroyed. He is faithful and just, always providing a way out. Whether through supernatural intervention, divine instructions, strategic helpers, persistent prayer, or the power of the blood—God always makes a way.

Today, refuse to be overwhelmed by the troubles around you. Trust in the God who delivers. Believe that your divine escape route is being opened right now. You are not alone in the fire—there is a fourth Man with you, and your story will end in victory!

8. I command every prison gate holding me to open now!
9. Father, use my life to showcase Your deliverance power.
10. I declare: I will escape every trouble and emerge victorious!

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You will escape every trap the enemy has set for you.
2. Divine helpers will locate you in your hour of need.
3. The fire will not burn you; the waters will not drown you.
4. Supernatural breakthroughs are locating you now.
5. The blood of Jesus is marking you for divine exemption.
6. Your enemies will watch you escape and be confounded.
7. God will open hidden doors for your deliverance.
8. Every stubborn problem in your life is melting away now.
9. You will sing a new song of victory and testimony.
10. From today, you will walk in divine preservation and peace!

WHEN THERE IS NO MORE WINE, HE MAKES NEW WINE

 WHEN THERE IS NO MORE WINE, HE MAKES NEW WINE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: John 2:1-11

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:19, Joel 2:19, Psalm 104:15, 2 Kings 4:1-7, Revelation 21:5

INTRODUCTION:
Life can sometimes reach moments of emptiness, dryness, or lack—moments when joy runs out, strength is depleted, and hope fades. In the story of the wedding at Cana, we are introduced to such a moment: there was no more wine. In biblical symbolism, wine often represents joy, celebration, and abundance. The absence of wine represented the end of joy and the beginning of shame for the hosts.

But Jesus was there. His presence turned an impending embarrassment into a miracle of abundance. This account is not just about wine at a wedding—it’s about how God steps into human crises and brings new beginnings. It reminds us that when we run out, Jesus still has more to give. Where man ends, God begins.

If your life has lost its “wine”—whether joy, peace, favour, or purpose—Jesus is still the One who makes new wine. He doesn’t just refill what is empty; He transforms what is common into something extraordinary.

1. JESUS KNOWS WHEN THE WINE IS GONE

Even when we do not speak it, Jesus knows the emptiness in our hearts and homes.

a) Jesus is never unaware of our needs (John 2:3):
Mary turned to Jesus when the wine ran out, recognising He was aware of their situation.

b) God is not surprised by your emptiness (Psalm 139:1-4):
He knows your thoughts and needs even before you speak them.

c) Your need is an opportunity for His glory (John 11:4):
What looks like a crisis may be a stage for God's intervention.

d) He responds to those who call upon Him (Jeremiah 33:3):
God reveals great and mighty things when we cry out in faith.

Biblical Example: Hagar in the wilderness thought all was lost, but God saw her and provided water for her and her son (Genesis 21:14-19).

2. NEW WINE COMES THROUGH OBEDIENCE

Miracles are often born out of simple, faith-filled obedience to God's instructions.

a) Jesus gave specific instructions (John 2:7):
“Fill the jars with water.” Though it seemed illogical, the servants obeyed without hesitation.

b) Obedience precedes manifestation (Deuteronomy 28:1-2):
When we heed God's voice, His blessings follow.

c) God uses ordinary vessels for extraordinary miracles (2 Corinthians 4:7):
The stone water jars became vessels of transformation.

d) Partial obedience hinders full results (1 Samuel 15:22):
Obedience is better than sacrifice—it positions us for divine increase.

Biblical Example: Naaman was healed only after he fully obeyed Elisha’s instruction to dip seven times (2 Kings 5:10-14).

3. GOD SAVES THE BEST FOR LAST

With God, the end can be better than the beginning.

a) The master of the feast was surprised by the quality of wine (John 2:10):
God’s miracles are not only timely—they are excellent.

b) God’s timing is perfect (Ecclesiastes 3:11):
He makes everything beautiful in its time.

c) Delayed answers are not denied answers (Habakkuk 2:3):
The vision will come to pass at the appointed time.

d) Divine provision always exceeds human expectation (Ephesians 3:20):
God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or think.

Biblical Example: Job’s latter end was more blessed than his beginning (Job 42:10-12).

4. HIS GLORY IS REVEALED IN TIMES OF LACK

God uses our seasons of need to reveal His power and glory.

a) The miracle at Cana manifested Jesus’ glory (John 2:11):
This was the beginning of signs by which His disciples believed in Him.

b) Trials become testimonies when God steps in (Romans 8:28):
All things work together for the good of those who love God.

c) Our weakness is an avenue for His strength (2 Corinthians 12:9):
His power is made perfect in our weakness.

d) His presence changes the atmosphere (Psalm 16:11):
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is fullness of joy.

Biblical Example: The widow of Zarephath was on her last meal, but God turned her lack into supernatural supply through Elijah (1 Kings 17:12-16).

5. HE STILL MAKES NEW WINE TODAY

Jesus is still in the business of renewal, restoration, and transformation.

a) He brings new seasons into our lives (Isaiah 43:19):
Behold, I will do a new thing; it shall spring forth now.

b) God gives beauty for ashes and joy for mourning (Isaiah 61:3):
What you thought was the end is only the beginning.

c) Jesus is the true source of joy (John 15:11):
He gives joy that is full and lasting.

d) In Christ, your best days are still ahead (Philippians 1:6):
He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion.

Biblical Example: Peter, after denying Christ, was restored and empowered for ministry on the day of Pentecost (John 21:15-17, Acts 2:14-41).

CONCLUSION:
When life runs out of joy, strength, or hope—when there is no more wine—Jesus steps in and makes new wine. He is never late, never limited, and never out of options. What you lack, He provides. What you’ve lost, He restores. The miracle at Cana reminds us that our greatest transformation happens when Jesus is present and we obey His word.

No matter the area of lack in your life—be it emotional, spiritual, or financial—God can turn your water into wine. Trust Him, obey Him, and watch Him do the impossible.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, step into every area of lack in my life.
2. Father, restore my joy and fill me with fresh wine.
3. I receive grace to obey Your instructions promptly.
4. Turn every shame in my life into testimony.
5. Do a new thing in my family and destiny.
6. Lord, reveal Your glory in my present situation.
7. Let the wine of my marriage/ministry not run dry.
8. Strengthen my faith in seasons of delay or dryness.
9. Help me to always recognise Your presence.
10. Fill my life with Your overflowing blessings.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. Your wine shall never run dry again!
2. Where there was lack, abundance is coming.
3. God is turning your shame into celebration.
4. You will drink from the new wine of favour.
5. Your obedience will birth supernatural results.
6. The glory of God will be seen upon you.
7. You will testify of divine turnaround.
8. Joy unspeakable is being released into your life.
9. Your latter days shall be greater than the former.
10. The hand of Jesus is making all things new in your life.

WHEN GOD TURNS DEAD ENDS INTO DIVINE DESTINATIONS

WHEN GOD TURNS DEAD ENDS INTO DIVINE DESTINATIONS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Exodus 14:1-31

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:19, Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11, Psalm 37:23-24

INTRODUCTION:
There are moments in life when we find ourselves stuck between impossible situations—like the Israelites trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea. These are the "dead ends" of life, where human wisdom fails, and options seem to vanish. Yet, these moments are not the end for those who trust in God. With Him, a dead end can become a divine platform for His power and glory to be revealed.

God is not limited by what limits us. What looks like a trap to men may actually be a setup for a miracle in God's plan. The path to divine destiny often passes through trials, but those trials are God's instruments to shift us forward. When God steps in, what was once a dead end becomes the very road to destiny.

Today’s message encourages us to see beyond the obstacles and believe that God is working behind the scenes. Even when you feel surrounded and overwhelmed, remember—God specialises in making a way where there seems to be no way.

1. DEAD ENDS ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIVINE INTERVENTION

a) God leads us even when the path seems unclear (Exodus 14:1-2):
Sometimes God directs us into difficult places so He can display His power.

b) Dead ends reveal our need for God (2 Corinthians 1:8-9):
They remind us that our help and hope come from God alone.

c) God allows delays to develop our faith (James 1:2-4):
Trials test our endurance and mature us for future glory.

d) His power is revealed at our lowest points (2 Corinthians 12:9):
When we are weak, His strength shines through us.

Biblical Example: The Red Sea crossing—God parted the waters to show His glory and deliver His people (Exodus 14:21-31).

2. TRUSTING GOD TURNS PANIC INTO PRAISE

a) Fear paralyses, but faith activates miracles (Exodus 14:10-13):
The Israelites were afraid, but Moses reminded them to trust God.

b) Stand still and let God fight your battles (Exodus 14:13-14):
God’s instruction was to be still, not panic.

c) God honours unshaken trust in impossible situations (Psalm 46:10):
Calm confidence in God invites His intervention.

d) Praise shifts the atmosphere from fear to faith (2 Chronicles 20:21-22):
Praising God in adversity invites His presence.

Biblical Example: Paul and Silas praised God in prison, and the chains broke (Acts 16:25-26).

3. DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS OPEN SUPERNATURAL PATHWAYS

a) God gives clear directions in moments of crisis (Exodus 14:15-16):
Moses was told to stretch out his rod—a simple act of obedience.

b) Obedience releases God’s supernatural power (John 2:5-9):
Miracles happen when we act on divine instructions.

c) Every step forward in faith is a step into destiny (Hebrews 11:29):
The Israelites walked through the sea by faith.

d) God uses what you have to perform His wonders (Exodus 4:2):
Moses’ rod became the key to a miracle.

Biblical Example: Naaman obeyed the instruction to dip in the Jordan and received healing (2 Kings 5:10-14).

4. YOUR ENEMIES WILL DROWN WHERE YOU CROSSED ON DRY GROUND

a) God uses your testimony to judge your enemies (Exodus 14:23-28):
What delivered you will destroy what was sent to destroy you.

b) God knows how to bring final judgment to stubborn pursuers (Psalm 7:15-16):
They fall into the traps they set.

c) The battle is not yours—it’s the Lord’s (2 Chronicles 20:15):
He knows how to deliver you completely.

d) Victory comes when we follow God all the way (Philippians 1:6):
He who began a good work will complete it.

Biblical Example: Haman was hanged on the gallows he built for Mordecai (Esther 7:10).

5. DEAD ENDS LEAD TO NEW BEGINNINGS

a) Every Red Sea experience births a new season (Exodus 15:1-2):
The people broke out in praise for the new phase of their journey.

b) Divine deliverance leads to divine direction (Exodus 15:22):
After crossing the sea, God led them into their next assignment.

c) What tried to stop you will become your song (Psalm 40:2-3):
Your testimony will encourage others.

d) God uses obstacles as platforms for elevation (Romans 8:28):
All things work together for the good of His children.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s prison became the path to the palace (Genesis 41:14-41).

CONCLUSION:
You may be at a point in your life where it seems like all options are gone—financially, emotionally, spiritually, or relationally. But remember: dead ends are not dead to God. He sees a path where you see a wall. What looks like the end is often the beginning of something greater in His plan. The God who parted the Red Sea is still working miracles today.

THE WATCHMAN'S CRY

THE WATCHMAN’S CRY

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 62:6-7

Supporting Texts: Ezekiel 3:17, Habakkuk 2:1, Isaiah 21:6, Mark 13:33-37, Acts 20:31

INTRODUCTION:
God has appointed watchmen over His people—spiritual gatekeepers, intercessors, and heralds of warning. These are men and women who are awake in the spirit, positioned to watch, to pray, and to speak for God. The call of a watchman is not a passive one; it is marked by alertness, faithfulness, and unceasing intercession.

In Isaiah 62:6-7, God declares that He has placed watchmen on the walls who will not hold their peace day or night until Jerusalem becomes a praise in the earth. This is a prophetic picture of the church's responsibility to watch and pray until God's will is fully established on earth.

Today, the Holy Spirit is stirring the church to return to this call—to take our place on the walls and cry out to God for revival, protection, and restoration. The cry of the watchman must rise again!

1. THE IDENTITY OF A WATCHMAN
A watchman is more than a title—it is a divine assignment to remain spiritually alert and responsible over people and territories.

a) A watchman is divinely appointed (Ezekiel 3:17):
God Himself sets the watchman over the house of Israel, giving him responsibility for warning His people.

b) A watchman must stay awake (Mark 13:35-37):
The duty of the watchman is to remain vigilant and never be caught sleeping.

c) A watchman is a voice, not an echo (Isaiah 58:1):
They cry aloud and spare not, proclaiming God’s truth without fear or compromise.

d) A watchman guards and warns against danger (Isaiah 21:6):
His job is to see and declare what is coming—whether good or evil.

Biblical Example: Samuel was a watchman-prophet who heard God's voice clearly and guided Israel during transition (1 Samuel 3:10-21).

2. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A WATCHMAN
Being a watchman requires deep commitment, spiritual discipline, and a burden for souls and the destiny of the land.

a) Watchmen must pray without ceasing (Isaiah 62:6):
They give God no rest until He establishes His promise.

b) Watchmen must warn with urgency (Ezekiel 33:6):
If they see danger and fail to warn, they will be held accountable.

c) Watchmen must stand in the gap (Ezekiel 22:30):
They intercede on behalf of a nation to avert judgment.

d) Watchmen must proclaim God’s word faithfully (Jeremiah 1:17):
They must not be afraid of men, but speak all that God commands.

Biblical Example: Noah was a faithful watchman who warned his generation and obeyed God’s instructions (Hebrews 11:7).

3. THE BURDEN OF A WATCHMAN
True watchmen carry a divine burden—they are sensitive to God’s heart and grieved by spiritual decay.

a) A watchman weeps for the city (Lamentations 2:18):
He cries out for revival, repentance, and restoration.

b) A watchman is stirred by divine urgency (Habakkuk 2:1):
He positions himself to hear and respond swiftly.

c) A watchman feels God’s burden deeply (Jeremiah 9:1):
Their hearts break over what breaks God’s heart.

d) A watchman calls for national repentance (Joel 2:17):
They cry between the porch and the altar on behalf of the people.

Biblical Example: Nehemiah mourned for Jerusalem and fasted, carrying a deep burden until restoration came (Nehemiah 1:1-11).

4. THE REWARD OF A FAITHFUL WATCHMAN
Though often unnoticed by men, watchmen are remembered by God and rewarded for their labour in the spirit.

a) Watchmen preserve lives and destinies (Ezekiel 33:7):
Their warnings can save individuals and nations from destruction.

b) Watchmen are vessels of revival (Isaiah 62:7):
They pray until God makes His people a praise in the earth.

c) Watchmen receive divine insight and favour (Daniel 2:19):
They are entrusted with divine secrets and strategies.

d) Watchmen are honoured by heaven (2 Timothy 4:7-8):
God rewards their faithfulness with a crown of righteousness.

Biblical Example: Daniel was a faithful watchman who interceded for his nation and received angelic revelations (Daniel 9:1-23).

CONCLUSION:
The watchman's cry must be heard again in our generation. We cannot afford to be silent while danger looms and spiritual apathy grows. God is calling His church to rise up and take our place on the walls—to watch, to pray, to warn, and to weep until revival breaks forth.

Are you willing to be God's watchman? Will you bear His burden and refuse to rest until His kingdom is established in your family, your church, and your nation?

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, awaken my spirit to be alert and sensitive to Your voice.
2. Father, make me a faithful watchman in my family and community.
3. I repent for times I have neglected my spiritual assignment.
4. Give me a burden for souls and for the condition of the church.
5. Help me to intercede consistently and passionately.
6. Strengthen me to stand in the gap for my nation.
7. Let Your fire burn continually upon my prayer altar.
8. Make me bold to proclaim Your Word without fear.
9. Reveal divine strategies and insights to me as I watch.
10. Raise up more watchmen in this generation with holy fire.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall not be silent in this season—you will be a voice for God.
2. The Lord is placing fire on your altar and power in your prayers.
3. Every spiritual slumber is broken off your life.
4. You will be a faithful intercessor and spiritual gatekeeper.
5. The Lord will reveal divine secrets to you in the place of prayer.
6. Your cry will shake the heavens and release answers.
7. You will protect your family and community through prayer.
8. God will reward you openly for your secret labours.
9. You will see revival because you did not remain silent.
10. The mantle of the watchman is resting upon you now!

POWER AGAINST RETROGESSION

POWER AGAINST RETROGRESSION

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Deuteronomy 1:6

Supporting Texts: Philippians 3:13-14, Isaiah 43:18-19, Luke 5:5-6, Judges 6:1-6

INTRODUCTION:
Retrogression is the condition of going backward instead of forward. It is when progress is hindered and one's life, family, or ministry starts experiencing delay, stagnation, or decline. This is not the will of God for His children. Our God is a God of forward movement, increase, and glory to glory. Retrogression can be spiritual, physical, financial, or emotional, and it often results in frustration, loss of vision, and hopelessness.

In Deuteronomy 1:6, God told the Israelites that they had stayed too long in one place and commanded them to move forward. This word is still relevant today. Retrogression is a demonic agenda to keep people in cycles of delay and repeated struggles. But there is power in God to break that cycle and push us into our divine destiny. The anointing of the Holy Spirit is available to empower us to rise, advance, and fulfil our prophetic purpose.

Today’s message is a call to warfare against the spirit of retrogression. It’s time to rise with boldness, recover lost ground, and declare, “I shall not go backward. I will move forward in Jesus’ name!”

1. RECOGNISE THE SIGNS OF RETROGRESSION

a) Constant cycles of failure and delay (Judges 6:1-6)
When progress is repeatedly interrupted and efforts yield little or nothing.

b) Loss of former glory and opportunities (1 Samuel 4:21)
When things that once worked begin to crumble and former greatness fades.

c) Inability to break out of stagnation (John 5:5-7)
When someone remains in the same condition or position for years.

d) Increasing frustration and hopelessness (Proverbs 13:12)
Hope deferred makes the heart sick and can lead to depression or withdrawal.

Biblical Example: The man at the pool of Bethesda suffered retrogression for 38 years until Jesus intervened (John 5:1-9).

2. UNDERSTAND THE ROOTS OF RETROGRESSION

a) Disobedience to divine instruction (Deuteronomy 28:15)
Failure to follow God’s voice can lead to curses and backwardness.

b) Evil covenants and generational patterns (Lamentations 5:7)
Family altars and ancestral sins can cause delay and repeated struggles.

c) Lack of vision or direction (Proverbs 29:18)
Without clear vision, people perish and wander aimlessly.

d) Satanic manipulation and resistance (Daniel 10:13)
Forces of darkness can hinder movement and progress.

Biblical Example: Jonah experienced retrogression when he disobeyed God’s instruction and was thrown into the sea (Jonah 1:1-15).

3. ENGAGE DIVINE POWER TO BREAK RETROGRESSION

a) Cry out to God in prayer (Psalm 34:17)
The righteous cry and the Lord hears and delivers them from all troubles.

b) Apply the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11)
The blood breaks every curse and silences accusations against your progress.

c) Activate the anointing of the Holy Spirit (Isaiah 10:27)
The yoke of stagnation is broken by the anointing.

d) Declare and enforce your prophetic destiny (Job 22:28)
Decree your advancement and resist every power pulling you backwards.

Biblical Example: Jabez cried to God, broke the curse of pain, and advanced in life (1 Chronicles 4:9-10).

4. MAINTAIN SPIRITUAL MOMENTUM FOR CONTINUOUS PROGRESS

a) Stay obedient to God's instructions (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)
Obedience ensures continuous divine direction and elevation.

b) Cultivate a life of faith and positive confession (2 Corinthians 4:13)
Speak forward-moving words and reject negativity.

c) Stay connected to God’s presence and power (Exodus 33:15)
His presence goes before you and guarantees success.

d) Surround yourself with destiny helpers (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)
People of wisdom and faith can lift you when you fall.

Biblical Example: The early church maintained growth by remaining in prayer, teaching, and fellowship (Acts 2:42-47).

CONCLUSION:
Retrogression is not your portion in Christ. God desires that you move forward in every area of your life. Like the Israelites who were told they had dwelt too long at Mount Horeb, it is time for you to break camp and advance. No more going in circles. No more repeated battles. No more backward movement. The power of God is here to launch you into your next level. Arise and shine, for your light has come!

God is ready to break every chain of stagnation and delay. You must rise in faith, engage divine power, and walk in obedience. The enemy will no longer keep you at the same spot. Your season of progress is here!

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, I thank You because Your plan for me is forward and upward.
2. Lord, deliver me from every form of retrogression in my life.
3. Every evil pattern of delay and stagnation, break by fire!
4. I disconnect from every ancestral covenant of backwardness.
5. Blood of Jesus, speak better things over my destiny.
6. Lord, restore every wasted year and lost opportunity in my life.
7. I receive fresh fire to move forward in my calling and assignment.
8. I refuse to remain in the same spot spiritually and physically.
9. Lord, raise divine helpers to push me forward.
10. Let the anointing for divine acceleration fall upon me now!

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall no longer go round in circles — your season of movement is now!
2. Every hand holding you back is broken in the name of Jesus.
3. You are breaking out of every limitation placed on your life.
4. From today, you will begin to recover all your lost grounds.
5. Your steps will be ordered into progress and prosperity.
6. Divine acceleration is coming upon your family and destiny.
7. Retrogression shall no longer find a place in your life.
8. You are rising from obscurity into divine prominence.
9. What took others ten years, you will achieve in one.
10. Forward ever, backward never — in Jesus’ mighty name!

CONSECRATE YOURSELF FOR TOMORROW

CONSECRATE YOURSELVES FOR TOMORROW

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Joshua 3:5

Supporting Texts: Exodus 19:10-11, 2 Corinthians 6:17-18, Romans 12:1-2, 1 Peter 1:15-16

INTRODUCTION:
God is always ready to move, but He looks for people who are spiritually prepared. In Joshua 3:5, just before the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land, Joshua commanded the people to consecrate themselves, because God was about to do wonders among them. This divine instruction highlights the principle that preparation precedes manifestation.

To "consecrate" means to set oneself apart wholly unto God, to be cleansed, devoted, and ready. God desires vessels that are holy and usable. Before the breakthrough, before the miracle, before the wonder—comes consecration. Many believers desire the blessings of God, but few understand the sanctity required to carry those blessings.

This message challenges every believer to prepare spiritually for the mighty move of God. The level of our consecration determines the depth of His manifestation. Let us examine how we can consecrate ourselves for the “tomorrow” that God has prepared.

1. CONSECRATION INVOLVES SEPARATION UNTO GOD

a) Separate from the unclean (2 Corinthians 6:17):
God commands His people to come out from among ungodly associations and be separate.

b) Let go of idols and distractions (Exodus 20:3):
Anything that takes God's place in your heart must be surrendered.

c) Make a clean break from sinful patterns (Isaiah 1:16):
Consecration means turning away from all forms of defilement.

d) Live a life that is distinctly different (1 Peter 2:9):
God has called us to be a peculiar people, set apart for His glory.

Biblical Example: Moses separated himself on Mount Sinai, and there he encountered the glory of God (Exodus 24:15-18).

2. CONSECRATION REQUIRES INNER PURITY

a) Purify your heart (James 4:8):
A pure heart attracts divine attention and favour.

b) Renew your mind with the Word (Romans 12:2):
Transformation begins when the mind is saturated with truth.

c) Rid yourself of hidden sins (Psalm 139:23-24):
Ask God to reveal and remove every secret impurity.

d) Walk blamelessly before God (Genesis 17:1):
A consecrated life is one of consistent godly living.

Biblical Example: David continually sought a clean heart and right spirit to remain aligned with God (Psalm 51:10).

3. CONSECRATION POSITIONS YOU FOR DIVINE ENCOUNTERS

a) God reveals Himself to the consecrated (Exodus 19:10-11):
Before God came down on Mount Sinai, the people had to be sanctified.

b) Miracles follow preparation (Joshua 3:5):
Tomorrow’s wonders depend on today’s sanctification.

c) God speaks to holy vessels (1 Samuel 3:1-10):
Samuel heard God's voice as he ministered with a pure heart.

d) Consecration releases divine instructions (Acts 13:2):
While the apostles fasted and ministered to the Lord, the Holy Spirit gave direction.

Biblical Example: Cornelius consecrated himself through prayer and fasting, and God sent Peter with a divine message (Acts 10:30-33).

4. CONSECRATION IS A DAILY COMMITMENT

a) Present your body daily as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1):
True consecration is not occasional—it’s a lifestyle.

b) Die to self and flesh (Galatians 2:20):
Living for Christ means crucifying selfish desires.

c) Maintain a life of constant fellowship with God (John 15:4):
Abiding in Him fuels a consecrated life.

d) Stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30):
Don’t grieve the Spirit—He is your guide and strength.

Biblical Example: Daniel maintained a consecrated lifestyle daily, even in Babylon, and God distinguished him (Daniel 6:10).

CONCLUSION:
God is ready to do wonders, but He won’t do it through vessels that are polluted or distracted. Joshua’s call to Israel is the same call to us today: consecrate yourselves. If you want to see God's power tomorrow, you must prepare today. Consecration is not a religious act—it is a spiritual alignment.

Let us strip away every weight, break free from every impurity, and surrender completely to God. As we consecrate ourselves, we position our lives for divine encounters, miracles, and the fulfilment of destiny. Tomorrow belongs to the prepared.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, purify my heart and cleanse me from all unrighteousness.
2. I consecrate myself fully to Your will and purpose.
3. Help me to live a life that is set apart and holy unto You.
4. Remove every idol and distraction from my life.
5. Grant me grace to walk in daily obedience and holiness.
6. Let me be sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
7. Prepare me for the wonders You have planned for my life.
8. Break every sinful habit that hinders my spiritual growth.
9. Fill me with a hunger for righteousness and truth.
10. Let Your glory be revealed in my life as I consecrate myself.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You are stepping into a new season of divine encounters.
2. Every contamination in your life is being purged by fire.
3. God is preparing you for great wonders tomorrow.
4. The power of the Holy Spirit will rest mightily upon you.
5. Your destiny will no longer be delayed by sin or distraction.
6. You shall walk in holiness and divine authority.
7. As you consecrate yourself, God will honour you publicly.
8. The heavens over your life are opened in Jesus’ name.
9. You are marked for distinction and divine favour.
10. Every day from now, you will experience the power of a consecrated life.

AWAKENING TO RIGHTEOUSNESS

AWAKENING TO RIGHTEOUSNESS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 1 Corinthians 15:34

Supporting Texts: Romans 13:11-14, Ephesians 5:14, 1 Peter 1:15-16, 2 Corinthians 6:17-18

INTRODUCTION:
We are living in times when the line between righteousness and unrighteousness is becoming increasingly blurred, even among believers. Many are asleep spiritually—unaware of the dangers of compromise and the urgency of living a holy life. Paul’s cry in 1 Corinthians 15:34 is a clarion call to the Church: “Awake to righteousness, and sin not.” This is a wake-up call for every Christian to arise from spiritual slumber and walk in holiness and purpose.

To awaken to righteousness is to become conscious of our identity in Christ and live in a way that reflects His nature. It is to shake off the apathy and complacency that often accompany spiritual sleep, and to embrace a lifestyle that pleases God. This message challenges us to stop justifying sin, to pursue sanctification, and to stand as lights in a dark world.

Righteousness is not just a theological concept—it is a lifestyle of obedience, purity, and consecration. When the Church awakens to righteousness, revival begins, families are restored, and communities are transformed. This is God’s desire for His people.

1. RECOGNISE YOUR TRUE IDENTITY IN CHRIST

a) You are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17):
In Christ, your old sinful nature has been crucified. You are now a new person with a new purpose—called to reflect God's holiness.

b) You are the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21):
Jesus took our sin so we could become righteous. We must live with the consciousness of this truth.

c) You are called to holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16):
God's command is clear—be holy as He is holy. This is the standard, not an option.

d) You are no longer under condemnation (Romans 8:1):
Your past no longer defines you. Walk boldly in your new identity without shame or guilt.

Biblical Example: The Prodigal Son, after wasting his life in sin, came to himself and returned home to embrace his true identity (Luke 15:17-24).

2. SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM SIN

a) Put off the works of darkness (Romans 13:12):
Remove anything in your life that draws you away from God. You can’t awaken to righteousness while cuddling sin.

b) Flee youthful lusts (2 Timothy 2:22):
Don’t negotiate with temptation—run from it. Righteousness requires active resistance against sin.

c) Do not be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14):
Guard your associations; wrong influences can dull your spiritual senses.

d) Cleanse yourself from all filthiness (2 Corinthians 7:1):
Both inward and outward purity matter. God desires a clean vessel He can use.

Biblical Example: Joseph fled from Potiphar’s wife, choosing righteousness over pleasure (Genesis 39:7-12).

3. STAY SPIRITUALLY ALERT AND SENSITIVE

a) Be sober and vigilant (1 Peter 5:8):
The enemy seeks to exploit your spiritual laziness. Stay watchful and alert.

b) Keep your lamp burning (Matthew 25:1-13):
Like the wise virgins, be prepared and spiritually ready for Christ's return.

c) Walk in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16):
Living by the Spirit empowers you to overcome the flesh and its desires.

d) Abide in God’s Word (Psalm 119:11):
The Word of God keeps you grounded and guards your heart from sin.

Biblical Example: Daniel remained spiritually sensitive through prayer and devotion, even in a corrupt environment (Daniel 6:10).

4. COMMIT TO A LIFE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS DAILY

a) Present your body as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1):
Dedicate every part of your life to God’s service. It’s your reasonable worship.

b) Practice righteousness (1 John 3:7):
True children of God do what is right—not occasionally, but consistently.

c) Let your light shine (Matthew 5:16):
Your righteous lifestyle should glorify God and inspire others to follow Him.

d) Endure in righteousness till the end (Matthew 24:13):
This is not a one-time decision—it’s a daily commitment to please God.

Biblical Example: Noah remained righteous in a corrupt generation and found grace in God's eyes (Genesis 6:8-9).

CONCLUSION:
Awakening to righteousness is a personal decision that requires intentional separation from sin and commitment to godly living. The times demand it, the Spirit calls for it, and our world desperately needs the light of righteous believers.

As we awake from spiritual slumber, may we become vessels of honour in God's hands—burning with holiness, filled with boldness, and shining with His righteousness. Let today mark the beginning of a new season of spiritual alertness and consecration.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, awaken my heart to righteousness and holiness.
2. I renounce every sin and compromise in my life.
