INTRODUCTION:
There comes a time in life when divine timing aligns with human destiny—when the voice of God calls you out of delay, limitation, and obscurity into purpose and manifestation. Such a moment is not random; it is orchestrated by heaven. John 11 reveals the miraculous story of Lazarus, who, though bound by death and buried, responded to a divine call: “Lazarus, come forth!”

When God says “come forth,” no grave can keep you, no stone can hold you, and no force of darkness can resist your rising. That call signals that your time has come—not just for deliverance, but for destiny fulfilment. God is not only concerned about bringing you out but also about bringing you into what He has prepared for you.

This message is a prophetic reminder that your season of delay is over, and your time of divine emergence is here. Whether buried by shame, forgotten by men, or hindered by satanic barriers, the voice of Jesus is calling you forth. Get ready—because your time has come.

1. GOD’S TIMING IS PERFECT
No matter how long the delay, when God’s time comes, nothing can stop His agenda.

a) God Works According to His Set Time (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Every purpose under heaven has an appointed time.

b) Delay Is Not Denial (John 11:6)
Jesus delayed intentionally because the glory was coming later.

c) Divine Timing Commands Divine Attention (Psalm 102:13)
When your set time comes, mercy and favour locate you.

d) Awareness of the Times Awakens Action (Romans 13:11)
Knowing the time helps you rise from spiritual slumber.

Biblical Example: Abraham and Sarah waited long, but at the set time, Isaac was born (Genesis 21:1–2).

2. THE VOICE OF JESUS BREAKS EVERY LIMITATION
When Jesus speaks, boundaries are broken, and the impossible becomes possible.

a) His Voice Awakens the Dead (John 11:43)
Lazarus heard and responded, proving the power in Christ’s word.

b) The Word of God Is Living and Active (Hebrews 4:12)
It pierces, transforms, and brings life where there was death.

c) Nothing Can Resist Divine Command (Psalm 29:4–5)
His voice is powerful—it breaks cedars and shakes wildernesses.

d) God’s Word Never Returns Void (Isaiah 55:11)
When He declares your time has come, it must manifest.

Biblical Example: Ezekiel prophesied to the dry bones and they responded to God’s voice (Ezekiel 37:1–10).

3. YOU MUST RISE AND COME FORTH
Your part is to respond in faith and obedience when God calls.

a) The Call Requires Movement (John 11:44)
Lazarus came out, still bound, but he responded first.

b) Rising Involves Breaking Personal Limitations (Isaiah 60:1)
You must rise from discouragement, sin, and stagnation.

c) Obedience Precedes Total Release (2 Corinthians 6:2)
Now is the time of salvation—respond immediately.

d) Coming Forth Means Leaving the Grave Behind (Colossians 3:1)
Set your mind on things above, not the old things that buried you.

Biblical Example: Bartimaeus threw off his beggar’s garment when Jesus called him (Mark 10:50).

4. DIVINE HELP WILL UNBIND YOU
God will not just call you forth—He will also ensure your total freedom.

a) God Uses People to Help Unwrap You (John 11:44)
Jesus said, “Loose him, and let him go”—you don’t walk alone.

b) Divine Help Is Sent to Finish What God Starts (Philippians 1:6)
He who began a good work will complete it.

c) God Breaks Every Chain Holding You Back (Isaiah 10:27)
The anointing destroys the yoke.

d) After Deliverance Comes Release Into Purpose (Exodus 3:10–12)
Moses was delivered to become a deliverer.

Biblical Example: Peter was loosed from prison by angelic intervention and sent to fulfil purpose (Acts 12:7–11).

CONCLUSION:
Just like Lazarus, many people are alive spiritually but still buried under the weight of life’s circumstances. But when Jesus calls, nothing can resist His command. The voice of resurrection is speaking over you now. It’s not just a call to escape trouble—it’s a call into destiny. You are not just coming out—you are stepping into something glorious.

Your time has come to arise, shine, and take your place. Every force that held you down must give way. As you respond to the call of God, you will experience breakthroughs, deliverance, restoration, and divine acceleration. Don't ignore this moment—come forth, because your time has come!
