UNSTOPPABLE FAITH IN DIFFICULT TIMES

UNSTOPPABLE FAITH IN DIFFICULT TIMES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Hebrews 11:1-6
Supporting Texts: Romans 4:17-21; Mark 11:22-24; Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; James 1:2-4

INTRODUCTION:
Faith is the foundation of the Christian life. It is the invisible force that connects us to the power of God and sustains us through the storms of life. Unstoppable faith is not ordinary belief; it is a resolute confidence in God even when circumstances do not make sense.

In difficult times—when money fails, health deteriorates, people disappoint, and all earthly hope fades—unstoppable faith clings to the promises of God. It says like Job, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him” (Job 13:15). This kind of faith refuses to quit, refuses to fear, and refuses to back down.

We are in a generation that needs this rugged, undying faith—faith that doesn’t die in trials but grows stronger. As we study this topic, may your faith rise above the challenges confronting you and bring victory in Jesus' name.

1. UNSTOPPABLE FAITH STANDS ON GOD’S WORD

a) God’s Word is the Anchor
Faith becomes unshakable when it is rooted in the unfailing Word of God (Matthew 24:35).

b) God’s Promises are Trustworthy
We must believe that what God has said, He will surely perform (Numbers 23:19).

c) The Word Builds Strong Faith
Faith grows through hearing and meditating on the Word of God (Romans 10:17).

d) Declare the Word Boldly
Faith speaks. The mouth must agree with what the heart believes (2 Corinthians 4:13).

Biblical Example: Abraham’s Faith in God’s Promise (Romans 4:20-21)
Abraham did not stagger at God’s promise but was fully persuaded that God would do what He said.

2. UNSTOPPABLE FAITH SEES BEYOND PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES

a) Faith is Vision-Driven
It sees possibilities where others see impossibility (2 Corinthians 4:18).

b) Faith Looks with Spiritual Eyes
We walk by faith, not by what we can physically see (2 Corinthians 5:7).

c) Faith Defies Natural Logic
It doesn’t rely on human calculation but on divine revelation (Proverbs 3:5-6).

d) Faith Celebrates in Advance
True faith thanks God before the manifestation (Mark 11:24).

Biblical Example: Elisha and the Servant (2 Kings 6:16-17)
Elisha prayed for his servant’s eyes to open to see the spiritual reality—those who were with them were more.

3. UNSTOPPABLE FAITH PERSEVERES THROUGH TRIALS

a) Trials Are the Testing Ground of Faith
Without trials, faith cannot grow or be proven (1 Peter 1:7).

b) Endurance Produces Maturity
Faith that endures builds patience and spiritual growth (James 1:2-4).

c) Never Quit on God
Even when prayers are not answered quickly, faith remains steadfast (Luke 18:1).

d) Challenges Refine Your Faith
Like gold refined in fire, trials purify your trust in God (Malachi 3:3).

Biblical Example: The Woman with the Issue of Blood (Mark 5:25-34)
Despite twelve years of suffering, she kept believing until she received her healing.

4. UNSTOPPABLE FAITH REQUIRES TOTAL TRUST IN GOD

a) Trust is the Heart of Faith
Faith is not passive belief but active trust (Psalm 125:1).

b) Surrender Brings Stability
Trusting God means resting in His plan and timing (Isaiah 26:3-4).

c) Faith Works Even When You Don’t Understand
God doesn’t owe us explanations—just directions (Proverbs 16:9).

d) Trust Makes You Unshakeable
When you truly trust God, storms don’t move you (Psalm 112:7).

Biblical Example: Daniel in the Lions’ Den (Daniel 6:10-23)
Daniel trusted God fully, even when his life was threatened—and God shut the lions’ mouths.

5. UNSTOPPABLE FAITH MOVES THE HAND OF GOD

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

b) Faith Invokes the Supernatural
Miracles follow those who dare to believe (Matthew 17:20).

c) Faith Draws Divine Attention
God honours those who believe Him absolutely (Luke 7:9).

d) Faith Activates the Power of God
Through faith, mountains are moved, and barriers fall (Mark 11:23).

Biblical Example: The Centurion’s Faith (Matthew 8:5-13)
Jesus marvelled at his great faith and granted his request instantly.

CONCLUSION:
Unstoppable faith is not wishful thinking; it is a determined, unwavering confidence in God and His Word. It does not crumble in hardship or give up in silence—it keeps pressing forward until victory is won.

Let your faith be rooted in God's promises, be bold to speak His Word, and refuse to quit no matter what. As you do, God will move mountains for you and honour your faith with visible results.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, increase my faith to believe You against all odds.
2. I receive grace to stand firm in times of difficulty.
3. Father, help me to hold on to Your promises without wavering.
4. Let my eyes be opened to see divine realities beyond my challenges.

8. Let my faith provoke supernatural answers from heaven.

DIVINE HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

DIVINE HELP IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 46:1

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 41:10, Hebrews 4:16, 2 Chronicles 14:11, Psalm 121:1-2

INTRODUCTION:
Life is filled with seasons of trials, uncertainties, and storms. No one is immune to trouble, whether spiritual, financial, emotional, or physical. In these seasons, our greatest need is not human assistance but divine help. God's help transcends human limitations and shows up when all other sources fail.

The Bible assures us that God is a “very present help in trouble” (Psalm 46:1). This means He is not distant or indifferent. He is ready to step into our situations with power and grace. Trusting in divine help means we lean not on our understanding but on God’s promises and ability to deliver.

Our study today explores the dynamics of divine help—how it manifests, what triggers it, and how to align ourselves to receive it in our times of need.

1. GOD IS OUR CONSTANT SOURCE OF HELP

a) God is ever-present in our trials (Psalm 46:1)
He is not far away; He is right there when we call upon Him.

b) Human help is limited, but divine help is limitless (Psalm 60:11)
Man may fail or abandon, but God is unfailing.

c) God watches over us continuously (Psalm 121:4-5)
He neither slumbers nor sleeps; His help is uninterrupted.

d) God’s help is rooted in His covenant love (Isaiah 41:13)
He helps us because of His loving commitment to us.

Biblical Example: King Asa sought divine help in battle (2 Chronicles 14:11)
Asa recognised that victory comes from the Lord and not by numbers.

2. HOW TO ACCESS DIVINE HELP

a) Call upon God in faith and humility (Psalm 50:15)
Help is guaranteed when we call sincerely and trust Him.

b) Maintain a consistent walk with God (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Divine help flows naturally to those who walk in alignment with God.

c) Be sensitive to divine instruction (2 Kings 4:1-7)
Sometimes divine help comes through unusual instructions.

d) Avoid alternatives that dishonour God (Isaiah 31:1)
Seeking help from Egypt (the world) is rejecting divine help.

Biblical Example: Jehoshaphat received help through worship (2 Chronicles 20:21-22)
His trust and praise opened the heavens for divine intervention.

3. CHARACTERISTICS OF DIVINE HELP

a) It is timely and never late (Habakkuk 2:3)
God's help arrives at the exact moment it is most needed.

b) It is supernatural and undeniable (Exodus 14:21-31)
Divine help defies natural laws to bring deliverance.

c) It brings glory to God alone (John 11:4)
When God helps, He ensures the glory is not shared with man.

d) It silences the enemy and strengthens the believer (Psalm 118:13-14)
The enemy’s assault is halted, and faith is reinforced.

Biblical Example: Daniel in the lion’s den received divine help (Daniel 6:22)
God shut the lions’ mouths, delivering Daniel without injury.

4. HINDRANCES TO DIVINE HELP

a) Unconfessed sin breaks divine connection (Isaiah 59:1-2)
Sin is a barrier to receiving help from above.

b) Doubt and unbelief restrict divine action (James 1:6-7)
Without faith, it’s impossible to receive from God.

c) Pride resists God’s help (James 4:6)
The proud rely on self, but God helps the humble.

d) Ingratitude blocks future help (Luke 17:17-18)
When we forget to thank God for past help, we miss future help.

Biblical Example: King Saul lost divine help due to disobedience (1 Samuel 15:22-23)
Saul’s rebellion led to divine rejection and loss of help.

5. BENEFITS OF DIVINE HELP

a) Brings peace in the midst of storms (Philippians 4:7)
God’s help calms anxiety and confusion.

b) Lifts burdens and yokes (Matthew 11:28-30)
His help brings rest and refreshment to our souls.

c) Opens closed doors (Revelation 3:7-8)
Divine help makes a way where there seems to be none.

d) Promotes and establishes destiny (Psalm 75:6-7)
Without divine help, there’s no true elevation.

Biblical Example: The lame man at the Beautiful Gate received divine help (Acts 3:1-8)
His life was transformed in a moment by divine intervention.

CONCLUSION:
In a world where challenges abound, divine help is our lifeline. No matter the nature or size of the trouble, God is able and willing to help those who trust in Him. His help brings transformation, deliverance, and testimonies.

We must position ourselves by faith, obedience, and humility to receive His help. God is never late, and His help is always the best. As we lift our eyes to the hills, our help shall come from the Lord.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, I receive Your divine help in every area of my life.
2. Father, in my times of trouble, arise and defend me.
3. O Lord, let every barrier to divine help in my life be broken.
4. I reject every alternative source of help outside of God.
5. My faith will not fail in the day of adversity.
6. Lord, deliver me from pride and teach me to depend on You.
7. By divine help, I receive victory over every battle I face.
8. Let my life attract Your supernatural intervention continually.
9. I receive the grace to walk in obedience and humility.
10. Father, make me a channel of divine help to others.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You will never lack divine help in the day of trouble!
2. The Lord shall arise for you and fight your battles!
3. Every delay in your life is giving way to divine intervention!
4. From today, God’s help will be evident in all you do!
5. Where others are stranded, divine help will locate you!
6. You will not miss your moment of divine visitation!
7. The Lord will send destiny helpers your way this season!
8. No obstacle will be able to stop your advancement again!
9. You are stepping into a season of supernatural breakthroughs!
10. Your testimony will be that of divine help and victory!

VICTORY IN THE VALLEY

VICTORY IN THE VALLEY

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 23:4

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:2; 2 Corinthians 4:8-9; Romans 8:37; Micah 7:8; Job 14:7-9

INTRODUCTION:
Life is filled with mountaintop experiences and valley moments. The valley seasons often represent trials, pain, loss, or deep discouragement. Yet, the Scriptures affirm that God is not only the God of the mountains but also the God of the valleys. David testified that even in the valley of the shadow of death, he feared no evil because God was with him.

The valley is not a place of abandonment but of revelation. Many believers tend to interpret valley seasons as punishment or failure, yet the valley is often where God's greatest works take place. Just as lush greenery often flourishes in the valley, so do spiritual growth, endurance, and faith flourish in the hard times of life.

Victory in the valley is not the absence of battle, but the presence of God in the midst of it. It is in the valley that we learn to trust Him more deeply, see His rod and staff bring comfort, and witness His power to bring us out stronger than before.

1. GOD IS PRESENT IN YOUR DARKEST VALLEY

a) Divine presence brings peace
Even in life’s darkest moments, God assures us of His abiding presence (Isaiah 43:2).

b) God walks with us through the valley
You are never alone; His rod and staff guide and comfort (Psalm 23:4).

c) Fear flees where faith is strong
Faith in God’s presence silences the voice of fear (2 Timothy 1:7).

d) The valley is temporary
Valleys are not destinations—they are pathways to promotion (1 Peter 5:10).

Biblical Example: Joseph in the pit and prison before the palace (Genesis 37:24–Genesis 41:40)

2. GOD USES THE VALLEY TO STRENGTHEN YOUR FAITH

a) Trials produce endurance
God allows valleys to refine and strengthen our character (James 1:2-4).

b) Your valley becomes your training ground
Spiritual muscles are built through resistance and pressure (Romans 5:3-5).

c) Faith grows in adversity
Challenges teach us to depend solely on God (2 Corinthians 4:8-9).

d) You will emerge stronger than before
After the valley, you come out refined like gold (Job 23:10).

Biblical Example: David’s courage in facing Goliath was developed in the valley (1 Samuel 17:1-50)

3. THE VALLEY PRECEDES YOUR ELEVATION

a) Before the crown, there is a cross
Glory often follows the most painful experiences (Romans 8:18).

b) God uses pain to prepare you for purpose
The valley aligns us for divine assignments (Jeremiah 18:4-6).

c) Divine turnaround begins in the low places
God specialises in lifting those who are downcast (Psalm 40:2).

d) Your story becomes a testimony
What tried to destroy you becomes a message of victory (Revelation 12:11).

Biblical Example: Job’s restoration after the valley of loss (Job 42:10-17)

4. WORSHIP THROUGH THE VALLEY PRODUCES VICTORY

a) Worship shifts your perspective
Worship helps you see God above your problems (Acts 16:25-26).

b) Praise invites divine intervention
God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3).

c) The valley is the altar of surrender
True worship is often born in brokenness (John 4:23-24).

d) Your sound in the valley determines your outcome
Silence prolongs the valley, but praise accelerates breakthrough (2 Chronicles 20:22).

Biblical Example: Jehoshaphat's victory through praise (2 Chronicles 20:1-30)

5. YOUR VICTORY IS GUARANTEED BY GOD’S PROMISE

a) You are more than a conqueror
Victory is your heritage in Christ (Romans 8:37).

b) God’s word is your weapon in the valley
His promises give you strength to stand (Isaiah 55:11).

c) What God started, He will finish
He is faithful to complete what He began in you (Philippians 1:6).

d) Your enemies will witness your rising
God will prepare a table before you in their presence (Psalm 23:5).

Biblical Example: The Israelites crossing the Red Sea—victory in a seeming trap (Exodus 14:1-31)

CONCLUSION:
God does not promise to keep us from the valley, but He promises to be with us in it. The valley is not a sign of defeat but a passage to your next level. Every dark place can become a birthing ground for glory when God is with you.

No matter how deep the valley or how heavy the burden, you are destined to rise. You will not be buried in your trials. Let your heart be encouraged: victory is certain because God is faithful.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Father, thank You for being with me in every valley.

10. You will testify of God’s power even in your lowest seasons!

YOU SHALL RECOVER ALL

YOU SHALL RECOVER ALL

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 1 Samuel 30:1-8

Supporting Texts: Joel 2:25-27; John 10:10; Psalm 126:1-6; Job 42:10; Isaiah 61:7

INTRODUCTION:
There are seasons in life when it seems as though the enemy has stolen what belongs to us—our peace, joy, health, opportunities, finances, or relationships. In such moments, it feels like all hope is lost, but God's Word offers us assurance of restoration and recovery. When we walk with God, no loss is ever final.

David and his men returned to Ziklag only to find their homes burned and their families taken. It was a moment of despair, but David sought the Lord. God not only promised recovery, but He ensured they recovered all. This is the confidence we have in God—He does not just restore; He makes us whole again.

This message is for everyone who has experienced delay, disappointment, or loss. There is a divine assurance that if you pursue by faith, you shall recover all. This is your season of divine restoration.

1. GOD IS A RESTORER OF ALL THINGS

a) God specialises in restoring lost years
(Joel 2:25) – He promises to restore even the years the locust has eaten.

(Job 42:10) – God gave Job twice as much as he lost.

c) Divine restoration brings glory to God
(Isaiah 61:7) – Instead of shame, God gives double honour.

d) God never allows His children to end in loss
(Romans 8:28) – All things work together for good.

Biblical Example: The restoration of Naaman’s skin after obedience (2 Kings 5:14)

2. RECOVERY BEGINS WITH ENQUIRING FROM GOD

a) Direction is key to recovery
(1 Samuel 30:8) – David inquired of the Lord and received divine direction.

b) God responds when we seek Him diligently
(Jeremiah 33:3) – Call upon Me, and I will answer.

c) Prayer opens the way for divine intervention
(James 5:16) – The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much.

d) Divine instruction guarantees success
(Isaiah 48:17) – He teaches us to profit and leads us in the way to go.

Biblical Example: Jehoshaphat sought God and recovered victory (2 Chronicles 20:3-25)

3. DIVINE RECOVERY INVOLVES PURSUIT AND ACTION

a) Faith without action is dead
(James 2:17) – Faith must be followed by corresponding action.

b) God blesses intentional and courageous moves
(Joshua 1:9) – Be strong and courageous.

c) You must refuse to give up
(Galatians 6:9) – Do not be weary in doing good.

d) Divine speed accompanies divine pursuit
(1 Kings 18:46) – The hand of the Lord gives supernatural acceleration.

Biblical Example: Four lepers took action and entered divine breakthrough (2 Kings 7:3-8)

4. WHEN GOD RESTORES, HE MULTIPLIES

a) God doesn’t just return what was lost; He adds more
(Zechariah 9:12) – He will render double to you.

b) Restoration brings joy unspeakable
(Psalm 126:1-2) – They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

c) God uses your loss as a platform for greater testimony
(Genesis 50:20) – What the enemy meant for evil, God turns for good.

d) Restoration reflects the character of God's mercy
(Lamentations 3:22-23) – His mercies are new every morning.

Biblical Example: The Shunammite woman’s full land and income restored (2 Kings 8:1-6)

5. YOUR FAITH AND PRAISE SPEED UP RESTORATION

a) Faith is the victory that overcomes delay and destruction
(1 John 5:4) – This is the victory that overcomes the world—our faith.

b) Praising God in the face of loss shows trust in His power
(Acts 16:25-26) – Paul and Silas praised and experienced supernatural release.

c) Thanksgiving is a weapon of restoration
(Philippians 4:6) – With thanksgiving, make your requests known.

d) Restored people always have a song
(Isaiah 12:1-6) – With joy you shall draw water from the wells of salvation.

Biblical Example: The leper who returned to give thanks was made whole (Luke 17:15-19)

CONCLUSION:
God is committed to restoring all that you have lost. He is not a God of partial recovery; He ensures full and complete restoration. No matter what the enemy has stolen—your joy, health, time, finances, or relationships—God has the power to restore it and give you even more.

The key is to seek God, obey His instructions, and pursue in faith. Recovery is not automatic; it requires your spiritual engagement, prayers, action, and unshakable trust in God. The same God who restored David shall restore you completely.

NO LIMITS, NO BOUNDARIES

NO LIMITS, NO BOUNDARIES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 54:2-3

Supporting Texts: Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 4:13; Genesis 13:14-17; Psalm 18:29

INTRODUCTION:
Many live within self-imposed limits, unaware that God has created them for boundless impact. The believer is called to live without fear, without walls, and without ceilings, because we serve a limitless God. God’s plan for you is expansion, dominion, and influence. Your potential in Christ is not confined by your past, your background, or human estimation.

God’s command in Isaiah 54:2-3 is a call to step out of smallness and stretch into greatness. You are not meant to merely survive; you are designed to thrive, break boundaries, and possess new territories. The power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you — that power makes you unstoppable.

This sermon is a prophetic call to arise, break out of containment, and take possession of everything God has destined for you. Let faith rise as you receive this charge to live with No Limits, No Boundaries.

1. YOU SERVE A LIMITLESS GOD

a) God has no boundaries
God's power and wisdom are infinite, and He cannot be contained by natural limitations (Job 36:26).

b) You are created in His image
Being made in the image of God means you carry the DNA of potential, dominion, and capacity (Genesis 1:26-28).

c) God's promises are boundless
Every promise of God opens you to a life without limits (2 Peter 1:3-4).

d) Faith connects you to the unlimited
Faith breaks the natural barriers and ushers you into divine possibilities (Mark 9:23).

Biblical Example: Abraham's Expansion
God told Abraham to lift up his eyes and look in every direction, promising him a land without borders (Genesis 13:14-17).

2. BREAKING OUT OF SELF-IMPOSED LIMITATIONS

a) Limiting beliefs hinder destiny
Thoughts like "I'm not good enough" or "I can't" block you from God's plan (Proverbs 23:7).

b) Past failures can build mental walls
Dwelling on past mistakes imprisons you mentally and spiritually (Philippians 3:13-14).

c) God has given you a new identity
In Christ, you are more than a conqueror; your identity is one of victory and dominion (Romans 8:37).

d) The Holy Spirit empowers you to rise
The Spirit helps you transcend every internal limitation and walk in victory (Acts 1:8).

Biblical Example: Gideon's Transformation
From a fearful man to a mighty deliverer, Gideon broke his internal limits through divine encounter (Judges 6:11-16).

3. DESTROYING EXTERNAL BARRIERS

a) God gives supernatural strength
When opposition rises, God empowers you to leap over walls (Psalm 18:29).

b) No enemy can stop God's plan
Those who oppose you cannot prevail when you walk in divine authority (Isaiah 54:17).

c) Every closed door can be opened
God opens doors no man can shut — walk in that boldness (Revelation 3:7-8).

d) Your environment cannot define you
Where you started doesn’t determine where you’ll end — God lifts from the dust to the throne (1 Samuel 2:8).

Biblical Example: Joseph in Egypt
Despite being sold into slavery and imprisoned, Joseph rose beyond his external limitations to reign (Genesis 41:39-44).

4. ENLARGING YOUR CAPACITY FOR MORE

a) Stretch your faith
Don’t settle for small — dare to believe God for more (Isaiah 54:2).

b) Make room for growth
Prepare for increase by enlarging your mindset, vision, and expectation (2 Kings 3:16-17).

c) Upgrade your associations
Surround yourself with people who challenge and inspire you to break boundaries (Proverbs 27:17).

d) Speak and act like one without limits
Your words and actions must reflect your belief in a boundless God (2 Corinthians 4:13).

Biblical Example: Elisha and the Widow's Oil
The more vessels she brought, the more the oil flowed — her capacity determined her overflow (2 Kings 4:1-7).

5. LIVING THE UNSTOPPABLE LIFE

a) You were born to overcome
Victory is your birthright in Christ — live from that identity (1 John 5:4).

b) Obstacles are platforms for testimony
God turns trials into triumphs and setbacks into set-ups (Romans 8:28).

c) The anointing makes you unstoppable
It’s not by might nor power but by the Spirit of God (Zechariah 4:6-7).

d) Keep pressing forward
Even when resisted, press on; your persistence provokes divine breakthroughs (Luke 18:1-8).

Biblical Example: Apostle Paul’s Resilience
Despite beatings, shipwrecks, and imprisonment, Paul kept moving and fulfilling purpose (2 Corinthians 11:23-28).

CONCLUSION:
You were never meant to live a limited life. God is calling you higher — to a place of expansion, dominion, and great exploits. Refuse to be boxed in by fear, the opinions of men, or the failures of the past. Your future is massive because your God is limitless.

It’s time to stretch, expand, and enter into your inheritance. Rise above every limitation and walk boldly into the season of No Limits, No Boundaries. You are unstoppable, untouchable, and uncontainable through Christ!

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, break every mental and spiritual limitation in my life.
2. Father, enlarge my capacity for greater influence and impact.
3. I reject every boundary set by fear and failure.
4. Lord, let Your power make me unstoppable in my generation.
5. Every voice speaking limitation into my destiny, be silenced now!
6. I receive grace to expand on every side in Jesus' name.
7. Father, break every inherited limitation from my foundation.
8. I declare my mind, vision, and dreams are enlarged.
9. No enemy shall succeed in caging my destiny.
10. I walk in dominion, without boundaries, by the Spirit of God.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You are breaking forth into new territories without limits!
2. Every wall that caged your potential is shattered today!
3. You shall rise above every opposition and obstacle!
4. No boundary shall hold you back from destiny fulfilment!
5. Your capacity is enlarged for greater glory!
6. The Spirit of God empowers you to live the unstoppable life!
7. Your destiny shall not be confined or delayed any longer!
8. Every limit is broken — go and flourish!
9. You are entering a season of boundless possibilities!
10. You will live and walk in the reality of No Limits, No Boundaries!

Every child of God carries the divine DNA of victory. We were not created to live defeated lives but to rise above obstacles and conquer every territory the enemy has tried to claim. The Bible clearly shows us that in Christ, we are more than conquerors. Rising and conquering is not just a possibility—it is our spiritual heritage.

The believer’s journey is marked by seasons of warfare and triumph, but our confidence lies in the finished work of Christ. We do not fight for victory; we fight from victory. God has already given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Therefore, we must reject defeat and step into our place of dominion.

In this sermon, we shall explore how God equips, empowers, and positions His children to rise above limitations and conquer all battles of life. You are born not to remain on the ground but to rise and win for God's glory.

1. YOU HAVE A CONQUEROR'S IDENTITY

a) Your Identity is in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)
When you gave your life to Christ, your identity changed—you became a new creature with a victorious nature.

b) You are Born of God (1 John 5:4)
Everyone born of God overcomes the world. The DNA of God in you guarantees victory.

c) You Are Seated with Christ (Ephesians 2:6)
Your position in Christ is far above principalities and powers. You rule from a place of spiritual authority.

d) You Are More Than a Conqueror (Romans 8:37)
You don't just survive trials—you thrive and triumph in them through the love of Christ.

Biblical Example: David’s Victory Over Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-50)
David understood his identity in God and refused to see himself as a weakling, even when facing a giant.

2. YOU MUST RISE ABOVE LIMITATIONS

a) Refuse to Be Caged by the Past (Philippians 3:13-14)
Your past failures or setbacks must not define your future; press forward toward your calling.

b) Break Free from Fear (2 Timothy 1:7)
Fear paralyses, but God has given you a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind.

c) Challenge Every Limiting Belief (Proverbs 23:7)
What you think about yourself determines how far you will go. Think like a conqueror.

d) Step Out in Faith (Hebrews 11:6)
Rising requires action. You must move even when you feel unqualified.

Biblical Example: The Four Lepers at the Gate (2 Kings 7:3-9)
They chose to rise instead of die in their limitation and walked into unexpected abundance.

3. YOU MUST CONQUER YOUR TERRITORY

a) Take Authority in Prayer (Luke 10:19)
Spiritual conquest begins in the place of prayer. Exercise your God-given dominion.

b) Possess Your Possessions (Obadiah 1:17)
Your spiritual inheritance must be claimed through intentional pursuit and spiritual warfare.

c) Walk in Boldness (Proverbs 28:1)
The righteous are as bold as a lion. Take bold steps towards your destiny.

d) Defeat Your Goliaths (1 Samuel 17:26)
Conquering involves facing and defeating the giants that stand in your way.

Biblical Example: Joshua Conquering Jericho (Joshua 6:1-20)
By faith and obedience, Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho and claimed the city for God.

4. YOU MUST RISE TO INFLUENCE OTHERS

a) Your Light Must Shine (Matthew 5:14-16)
You are called to rise so that others can see the glory of God through you.

b) Be a Source of Encouragement (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
As you conquer, help others rise from their own ashes of defeat.

c) Multiply Your Impact (2 Timothy 2:2)
Conquerors raise other conquerors. Reproduce the grace upon your life.

d) Reflect Christ in Your Victories (Galatians 2:20)
Let your success point people to Jesus, not yourself.

Biblical Example: Esther’s Rise Saved a Nation (Esther 4:13-16)
Her rise to royalty positioned her to influence and deliver her people.

5. YOU MUST CONQUER UNTIL THE END

a) Victory is a Lifelong Pursuit (Philippians 3:12)
Keep pressing forward, never settling for less than God's best.

b) Resist the Enemy Daily (James 4:7)
Conquering is not a one-time event. It requires constant resistance and submission to God.

c) Endure Hardship (2 Timothy 2:3)
Challenges are part of the journey, but the conqueror endures and overcomes.

d) Keep the Faith (2 Timothy 4:7-8)
A true conqueror finishes strong, keeping faith alive till the end.

Biblical Example: Apostle Paul’s Life of Victory (2 Timothy 4:7)
Paul conquered to the end and laid hold on the crown of righteousness.

CONCLUSION:
You were not born to live a life of defeat. God created you to rise above mediocrity, trials, and spiritual opposition. Every child of God has a divine assignment to take territory, walk in dominion, and be a reflection of God’s victory on earth.

Your rising is not optional; it is necessary for kingdom advancement. Your conquest is not for self-glory but for the glory of Christ. Stand firm, rise boldly, and conquer fearlessly. The world is waiting for your manifestation as a son of God!

INTRODUCTION:
Life comes with oppositions, resistance, and hindrances, especially for those destined for greatness. However, for the believer in Christ, no obstacle can ultimately prevail against God’s plan. The enemy may try, but he cannot succeed when God is for you.

The phrase “You Can’t Be Stopped” is not a boast in the flesh but a declaration of divine backing. It’s a realisation that with God on your side, every barrier becomes a stepping stone, every delay a setup for divine acceleration.

This sermon aims to stir your faith and remind you that you are unstoppable—not by your power, but by the God who works in and through you.

When God is for you, no force in heaven or on earth can stand against you (Romans 8:31).

You don’t have to fight in your strength; the battle belongs to the Lord (2 Chronicles 20:15).

In all these things, we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37).

4. FAITH MAKES YOU UNSTOPPABLE

With faith, mountains move and impossibilities bow (Matthew 17:20).

You are seated with Christ above all powers (Ephesians 2:6).

INTRODUCTION:
Life is full of transitions—seasons when we feel trapped or stagnant, and others where progress is swift. But God’s design for His children is never to remain stuck. When we align with His will and power, we move from stagnation to acceleration.

Being stuck could mean spiritual dryness, emotional weariness, financial hardship, or even repeated failure. But no matter where you are, God has the power to lift you out of the pit and place your feet on solid ground.

To move from stuck to unstoppable, you must believe that your present condition is not your final destination. This message is a call to rise, shake off the dust, and walk in your God-ordained path with boldness and determination.

a) Acknowledge the delay or stagnation (Psalm 40:1)
You cannot overcome what you refuse to admit. Recognition is the first step to freedom.

c) Faith speaks breakthrough (2 Corinthians 4:13)
What you say in faith determines where you go in life.

Faith without works is dead—start moving by faith!

Her faith pushed her out of 12 years of being stuck into immediate healing.

4. TAKE PROPHETIC ACTION

a) Break your routine and obey divine instructions (John 2:5)
Miracles begin with obedience, even if it doesn’t make sense.

b) Prophetic acts unlock divine shifts (2 Kings 4:3-6)

Though proud at first, his action of dipping in the Jordan brought total healing.

5. WALK IN YOUR NEW SEASON BOLDLY

a) Embrace your new beginning (Isaiah 43:18-19)
God is doing a new thing—walk in it with faith.

b) Shake off past disappointments (Philippians 3:13-14)
Don’t let your history hinder your destiny.

c) Stay focused on your assignment (Hebrews 12:1-2)
Keep your eyes on Jesus, not on distractions.

d) Refuse to look back (Genesis 19:26)
Looking back at the past can make you miss your future.

Biblical Example: The lepers who stepped forward (2 Kings 7:3-9)
As they moved, God magnified their steps and brought about victory.

ACTIVATING THE WINNER WITHIN

ACTIVATING THE WINNER WITHIN

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 1 John 5:4

Supporting Texts: Romans 8:37; Philippians 4:13; Proverbs 24:16; Judges 6:11-16; 2 Timothy 1:6-7

INTRODUCTION:
Many believers live below their potential because they have not awakened the power of God within them. Every child of God has the seed of victory embedded in them. The moment you gave your life to Christ, a winner was born within you—created to overcome, dominate and prevail.

The battles of life may be fierce, but the assurance of victory is guaranteed because you carry within you the presence and power of the Most High. Life may throw challenges your way, but they are not meant to stop you—they are platforms to activate the greatness within.

In this teaching, we will explore how to stir up the winner within, walk in divine authority, and manifest your God-ordained dominion over every opposition. You are not a victim; you are a victor.

1. YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO OVERCOME

a) Spiritual Birth Determines Destiny (1 John 5:4)
Everyone born of God is born to overcome the world. Your new birth transferred you into a victorious lineage.

b) You Carry the DNA of a Winner (Romans 8:37)
You are more than a conqueror through Christ. There’s no defeat in your spiritual identity.

c) Your Victory Is Not Dependent on Feelings (2 Corinthians 5:7)
Even when you don’t feel strong, your faith keeps you anchored in victory.

d) God Has Declared You an Overcomer (Isaiah 54:17)
No weapon formed against you shall prosper—this is your heritage as God’s child.

Biblical Example: David Defeating Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-50)
David’s victory was not in size or weapons, but in his awareness of the winner within.

2. STIRRING UP THE POWER OF GOD IN YOU

a) You Have God’s Power Inside You (2 Timothy 1:6-7)
The Spirit of power, love and sound mind is already in you—stir it up through prayer and faith.

b) Don’t Let Fear Silence Your Potential (Judges 6:12-14)
Like Gideon, you must rise beyond fear to discover your inner champion.

c) Your Boldness Activates God’s Strength (Proverbs 28:1)
The righteous are as bold as a lion—boldness draws out inner power.

d) Neglecting Your Spiritual Gift Weakens Your Victory (1 Timothy 4:14)
When you ignore the grace within you, the winner within remains dormant.

Biblical Example: Paul Stirring Timothy’s Gift (2 Timothy 1:6)
Paul reminded Timothy that greatness requires activation through deliberate action.

3. OVERCOMING THROUGH A RENEWED MIND

a) Mind Transformation Unlocks Victory (Romans 12:2)
You win from the inside out. Change your thoughts and you change your outcome.

b) Defeat Starts in the Mind (Proverbs 23:7)
If you see yourself as defeated, you cannot rise to victory.

c) Speak and Think Like a Winner (Philippians 4:8)
Focus on truth, nobility, purity and victory. Think it, speak it, live it.

d) Refuse to Be Conformed to Limiting Patterns (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
Cast down every imagination that contradicts your God-given identity.

Biblical Example: The Ten Spies vs. Joshua and Caleb (Numbers 13:30–33)
The majority saw defeat, but Caleb saw victory. His mindset separated him.

4. FAITH: THE TRIGGER FOR THE WINNER WITHIN

a) Faith is the Victory Link (1 John 5:4)
Faith connects you to the overcoming power of God.

b) Winners Walk by Faith, Not Sight (Hebrews 11:1)
You may not see the outcome, but faith assures you of it.

c) Speak the Language of Faith (Mark 11:23)
Don’t confess defeat—declare victory even in adversity.

d) Faith Requires Action (James 2:17)
Believing alone is not enough; you must act like a winner to win.

Biblical Example: The Woman with the Issue of Blood (Mark 5:25-34)
Her faith activated her healing when she touched Jesus in belief.

5. THE WINNER WITHIN NEEDS CONSISTENT FEEDING

a) Feed Your Spirit with God’s Word (Matthew 4:4)
Your inner man grows stronger when nourished by the Word.

b) Prayer Keeps You in Tune with Victory (Luke 18:1)
Consistent communion with God sharpens your inner strength.

c) Fellowship with Other Winners (Proverbs 27:17)
Iron sharpens iron—connect with others who live victoriously.

d) Starving Your Spirit Weakens Your Power (Galatians 5:16-17)
Feed your spirit more than your flesh to stay in command.

Biblical Example: Jesus in the Wilderness (Luke 4:1-14)
Through fasting and feeding on God’s Word, Jesus overcame temptation and emerged in power.

CONCLUSION:
You are not weak, you are not defeated, and you are not a victim. You are a child of God empowered by the Holy Spirit to win. The seed of greatness lies within you. It’s time to activate the winner inside and walk in dominion over every obstacle.

DREAM. DARE. DO

DREAM. DARE. DO

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Genesis 37:5-11

Supporting Texts: Joel 2:28, Proverbs 16:3, Philippians 4:13, Joshua 1:9, Ecclesiastes 11:4-6

INTRODUCTION:
Every great achievement in life begins with a dream. God plants ideas, visions, and aspirations in the hearts of men to lead them into their divine purpose. Dreams are not just fanciful imaginations—they are divine blueprints waiting to be fulfilled by faith and action.

However, dreaming alone is not enough. To fulfil your destiny, you must dare to believe in that dream, regardless of opposition or delay. Daring requires courage, determination, and unwavering faith in God’s promises.

The final step is to do—to take bold steps in line with your dreams, trusting in God’s power to bring them to pass. A man who dreams, dares, and acts cannot be stopped. Your season to rise and take action is now!

1. DREAMING BEYOND THE ORDINARY

a) God gives dreams that align with destiny (Joel 2:28)
God reveals His plans to men through dreams and visions—He gives divine inspiration that transcends natural limitations.

b) Big dreams require big faith (Genesis 37:9-10)
Joseph dreamed beyond his present condition. His dreams provoked jealousy but were divine in origin.

c) Dreamers are often misunderstood (Genesis 37:8)
Not everyone will see or support your vision, but that doesn't make it invalid.

d) Dreams must be nurtured through prayer and patience (Habakkuk 2:3)
Even when delayed, divine dreams will surely come to pass.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s dream led him to rulership despite challenges (Genesis 41:39-44)

2. DARE TO BELIEVE AND TAKE RISKS

a) Fear paralyses dreams, but faith fuels them (2 Timothy 1:7)
You cannot walk in destiny while living in fear. Be bold and courageous.

b) Daring means stepping out of your comfort zone (Matthew 14:29)
Like Peter stepping on water, you must act on your faith.

c) Believing in God’s word keeps you steady (Joshua 1:9)
Courage comes from knowing that God is with you in the journey.

d) The path of the daring may be tough but leads to glory (Romans 8:18)
The trials faced by those who dare are often the stepping stones to greatness.

Biblical Example: Esther dared to approach the king and saved her people (Esther 4:16)

3. DOING IS THE BRIDGE BETWEEN DREAM AND DESTINY

a) Action turns dreams into reality (James 2:17)
Without works, even the most divine dream is lifeless.

b) Excellence in small tasks prepares you for greater opportunities (Luke 16:10)
Faithfulness in little opens doors for much.

c) Procrastination kills progress (Ecclesiastes 11:4)
Waiting for perfect conditions is an enemy to achievement.

d) God blesses the works of your hands, not your thoughts alone (Deuteronomy 28:12)
Doing activates divine assistance.

Biblical Example: Nehemiah not only prayed, he built the wall (Nehemiah 2:18-20)

4. RESILIENCE IS KEY TO FULFILMENT

a) You must endure setbacks and delays (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
Pressing forward despite resistance is the mark of a winner.

b) Obstacles are opportunities in disguise (Romans 8:28)
What tries to stop you may actually push you closer to purpose.

c) God strengthens the heart of those who persist (Psalm 27:14)
Waiting and persistence are part of divine preparation.

d) Winners refuse to quit (Philippians 3:13-14)
Press forward—your best days are ahead.

Biblical Example: Paul endured many trials but fulfilled his divine mission (2 Timothy 4:7)

5. GOD IS COMMITTED TO YOUR SUCCESS

a) Your dream originated from God’s heart (Philippians 2:13)
He works in you to will and to do His good pleasure.

b) His grace empowers your doing (2 Corinthians 9:8)
You are not left to act on your own strength.

c) Divine favour follows divine purpose (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Trusting God will bring guidance and favour in the journey.

d) God finishes what He starts (Philippians 1:6)
If He gave the dream, He will bring it to completion.

Biblical Example: Jesus finished the work He came to do and sat in glory (John 17:4)

CONCLUSION:
You were not born to exist passively—you were created with a divine purpose. The dream in your heart is not an accident. It is a seed from God, and He expects you to nurture it, dare the odds, and do what is required.

When you dream, dare, and do, you partner with Heaven for the fulfilment of destiny. Refuse to settle. Rise up, act on your vision, and you will see divine backing all the way. Your season of manifestation has come.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, ignite every divine dream in my heart with fresh fire.

9. Your hands will produce mighty works for the Kingdom.
10. From this day, you shall dream, dare, and do—in Jesus’ name!

SOARING ABOVE LIMITATIONS

SOARING ABOVE LIMITATIONS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 40:31

Supporting Texts: Philippians 4:13, Romans 8:37, Psalm 18:29, Job 22:29, Micah 7:8

INTRODUCTION:
Life is full of challenges, but believers are not called to dwell in defeat. We are called to rise, to soar, and to overcome by the power of God. Limitations may come in the form of fear, failure, past experiences, or even societal expectations, but with God on our side, we are empowered to rise above them.

The enemy may try to impose boundaries around your destiny, but God has designed you to break barriers and go beyond human limits. His Word assures us that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength and mount up with wings like eagles. The power to soar is not in human ability but in divine empowerment.

This teaching is a prophetic call to break the ceilings that have held you down. As you receive and apply God’s Word, may you gain the divine momentum to soar above every limitation that has kept you stagnant.

1. KNOWING WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST
Understanding your identity in Christ is the starting point for overcoming limitations.

a) You are a new creation in Christ
When you come into Christ, your past no longer defines your future (2 Corinthians 5:17).

b) You are seated in heavenly places
You operate from a place of authority and victory in Christ (Ephesians 2:6).

c) You are chosen and accepted:
You are not a mistake or an accident. God chose you for a purpose (1 Peter 2:9).

d) You are more than a conqueror:
You have been empowered to overcome every obstacle (Romans 8:37).

e) Biblical Example: Gideon (Judges 6:11-16)
Though he saw himself as the least, God called him a mighty man of valour and used him to deliver Israel.

2. BREAKING MENTAL STRONGHOLDS
What limits many is not what is around them but what is within their minds.

a) Renew your mind with God’s Word:
Transformation begins when your thinking aligns with Scripture (Romans 12:2).

b) Reject fear and embrace faith:
Fear is a barrier, but faith is a bridge to breakthrough (2 Timothy 1:7).

c) Refuse to dwell on past failures:
Forgetting the past helps you press forward into God’s purpose (Philippians 3:13-14).

d) Declare God’s promises over your life:
Speaking the Word builds faith and destroys limiting thoughts (Proverbs 18:21).

Biblical Example: The 12 Spies (Numbers 13:26-33)
Ten saw giants and limitations, but two—Joshua and Caleb—believed in God’s ability.

3. RECOGNISING AND CONFRONTING LIMITATIONS
You cannot conquer what you are unwilling to confront.

a) Identify the sources of limitation:
Some limits come from people, habits, background, or even self-imposed ideas (Mark 10:48).

b) Deal with limiting relationships:
Certain relationships keep people stagnant—be intentional about your company (Proverbs 13:20).

c) Uproot generational patterns:
Some barriers are ancestral and must be dealt with spiritually (Lamentations 5:7).

d) Take steps of bold obedience
Many limitations fall when we move in obedience to divine instruction (Joshua 1:9).

Biblical Example: Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
He recognised the limitation his name placed on him and cried to God for a turnaround.

4. ACTIVATING DIVINE STRENGTH AND HELP
You were never meant to fight alone—God is your strength.

a) Draw strength from prayer:
Prayer empowers you to receive divine direction and strength (Luke 18:1).

b) Depend on the Holy Spirit:
The Spirit enables you to do the impossible (Zechariah 4:6).

c) Soak yourself in worship:
Worship lifts your spirit and opens the heavens over you (2 Chronicles 20:21-22).

d) Engage in spiritual warfare:
Limitations are often spiritual battles that must be fought with spiritual weapons (Ephesians 6:12).

e) Biblical Example: Paul and Silas (Acts 16:25-26)
They engaged prayer and praise, and God intervened to break their chains and limitations.

5. SOARING WITH DIVINE PURPOSE
Rising above limitations becomes meaningful when you live for divine purpose.

a) Discover God’s purpose for your life:
You are created for a divine assignment (Jeremiah 1:5).

b) Pursue your purpose passionately:
Purpose gives you focus and strength to press on (Acts 20:24).

c) Serve others with your gift
Your gift is a key to rising in relevance and honour (Proverbs 18:16).

d) Stay connected to divine instructions:
Obedience to divine leading guarantees elevation (Isaiah 48:17).

Biblical Example: Joseph (Genesis 41:37-44)
He rose from prison to palace by aligning with divine purpose and interpreting Pharaoh’s dream.

CONCLUSION:
Limitations are real, but they are not final. In Christ, you are empowered to overcome, rise, and soar. The forces that once held you down will no longer be able to contain your rising. God has equipped you for victory above every limitation.

As you begin to apply these principles—knowing your identity, renewing your mind, confronting barriers, activating divine help, and living purposefully—you will begin to rise above every challenge and soar like the eagle God designed you to be.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, thank You for creating me with divine purpose and potential.
2. I reject every limitation placed upon my life, knowingly or unknowingly.
3. Father, renew my mind and empower me to think like a victor.
4. Every mental stronghold of fear and failure, break now in Jesus’ name.
5. Holy Spirit, empower me to confront and overcome every barrier.
6. Lord, disconnect me from every relationship that limits my progress.
7. I receive grace to walk boldly in obedience to divine instructions.
8. Let every generational limitation in my family line be broken by fire.
9. I declare, I will soar above failure, stagnation, and delay.
10. Father, align me fully with Your divine purpose for my life.

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU TODAY:
1. You will rise above every limitation that has held you down.
2. You are unstoppable, undefeatable, and more than a conqueror.
3. Every wall that has blocked your advancement is coming down.
4. The strength to soar like an eagle is resting upon you now.
5. You will shine where others are buried in obscurity.
6. God will connect you to helpers who will lift your destiny.
7. Every shameful past is turning into a testimony of glory.
8. You are breaking free from every cage of the enemy.
9. The power of the Holy Ghost will catapult you to greatness.
10. You are rising and you will not fall again, in Jesus’ name!

RISING AGAINST ALL ODDS

RISING AGAINST ALL ODDS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Micah 7:8

Supporting Texts: Proverbs 24:16, Romans 8:31, Isaiah 41:10, 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

INTRODUCTION:
Life is full of challenges, disappointments, and moments that try to hold us down. Many people experience setbacks that seem insurmountable, yet God's Word gives assurance that we can rise again, no matter the odds. It is not the absence of problems that defines victory, but the ability to stand again after a fall.

In a world where rejection, betrayal, loss, and failure are common, it is easy to accept defeat. But the believer must never forget that the God we serve specialises in lifting the fallen and restoring what has been lost. He delights in turning stories of shame into testimonies of glory.

The enemy may think it’s over for you, but God says your rising is guaranteed. The power to bounce back is within you through the help of the Holy Spirit. This teaching will empower you to rise again, regardless of the odds stacked against you.

1. YOU MAY FALL, BUT YOU WILL RISE AGAIN
Failure is never final when God is involved. Rising after a fall is proof of grace.

a) God is with you even in your lowest moments
– (Isaiah 43:2) No matter how low you go, God's presence is assured in your valley moments.

b) Falling is not the end of your story
– (Proverbs 24:16) The righteous may fall seven times, but he will rise again.

c) God uses your fall to strengthen your testimony
– (Psalm 40:2-3) He brings you out of the pit to give you a new song.

d) Grace empowers you to stand where you once fell
– (Romans 6:14) Sin and shame shall not have dominion over you.

e) Biblical Example: Peter's denial of Jesus (Luke 22:61-62; John 21:15-17) – He fell, but Jesus restored him and used him mightily.

2. GOD SPECIALISES IN REVERSING IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS
When man says it’s over, God is just getting started.

a) Nothing is too hard for God to change
– (Jeremiah 32:27) He can reverse every negative report.

b) God turns shame into glory
– (Joel 2:25-26) He restores the years the enemy has stolen.

c) What looks dead can live again
– (Ezekiel 37:3-5) Dry bones can rise by the breath of God.

d) Delay is not denial
– (Habakkuk 2:3) God's appointed time will never fail.

Biblical Example: Lazarus (John 11:1-44) – Dead for four days, yet Jesus raised him back to life.

3. GOD'S POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS
Your lowest point is often where God’s greatest strength is revealed.

a) God's strength is released when you admit your weakness
– (2 Corinthians 12:9) His grace is sufficient for your rising.

b) Your struggles can become a platform for God's glory
– (John 9:3) What you suffer can reveal God’s work in your life.

c) Weakness doesn’t disqualify you from rising
– (1 Corinthians 1:27) God chooses the weak to confound the strong.

d) Restoration is part of God's plan
– (1 Peter 5:10) After you suffer a while, God will restore and establish you.

Biblical Example: Gideon (Judges 6:11-16) – From fear and hiding to becoming a mighty deliverer.

4. FAITH IS THE FORCE THAT LIFTS YOU ABOVE LIMITATIONS
You must believe God’s Word over your circumstances.

a) Faith sees beyond the present trouble
– (Hebrews 11:1) It is the evidence of things not seen.

b) Faith gives you boldness to rise again
– (Mark 5:34) Faith makes you whole and restores your identity.

c) Doubt keeps you stuck, but faith moves mountains
– (Matthew 17:20) Even small faith causes great shifts.

d) Speaking in faith activates your rising
– (Romans 10:10) Your confession is tied to your breakthrough.

Biblical Example: The Woman with the Issue of Blood (Mark 5:25-34) – Her faith pushed her to rise above the crowd and receive her healing.

5. YOUR STORY WILL END IN TESTIMONY
What tried to bury you will become a platform for your glory.

a) God writes the final chapter of your life
– (Revelation 1:8) He is the Alpha and Omega.

b) No pain is wasted in God's plan
– (Romans 8:28) All things work together for your good.

c) You are coming out stronger than before
– (Job 42:10) God restores double for your losses.

d) Your rising will glorify God and inspire others
– (Psalm 71:20–21) He will revive you and increase your greatness.

Biblical Example: Joseph (Genesis 50:20) – What was meant for evil became the pathway to destiny.

CONCLUSION:
Beloved, the odds may be against you, but God is for you. Rising again is not just possible—it is God’s will. You may have failed, fallen, or been forgotten, but your story is not over. In Christ, there is always a comeback. No opposition can stop what God has ordained.

It’s time to get back up, dust yourself off, and rise again. Let your scars become stories of grace, and let your wounds become weapons of testimony. You are unstoppable because God is unstoppable.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, give me the strength to rise again where I have fallen.
2. Father, reverse every situation in my life that looks impossible.
3. I break every limitation holding me down in Jesus' name.
4. I receive grace to bounce back stronger and better.
5. Let every dead area of my life receive resurrection power.
6. I refuse to stay in the valley; I am rising to the top.
7. O Lord, turn every pain into purpose and every test into testimony.
8. I silence every voice of defeat speaking against my future.
9. Let my rising inspire others to believe in your power.
10. I declare my comeback will glorify the name of the Lord.

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU TODAY:
1. You will rise above every opposition and limitation!
2. Your failure is not final—God is rewriting your story!
3. From the ashes of defeat, your greatness shall emerge!
4. God will lift you from the pit to the palace!
5. Your story will end in praise, not in shame!
6. Divine strength is coming upon you to rise again!
7. Every negative report concerning your destiny is reversed!

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS: INEVITABLE FOR SPIRITUAL WALK WITH GOD

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS: INEVITABLE FOR SPIRITUAL WALK WITH GOD

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Matthew 7:24-27

Supporting Texts: 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, Psalm 11:3, Luke 6:47-49, Ephesians 2:19-22

INTRODUCTION:
Every building that stands the test of time is first established on a solid foundation. In the same way, every believer who desires to walk consistently with God must build their life on the unshakable foundation of Christ. Spiritual foundation is the core of our relationship with God, the root system that feeds our faith, convictions, and stability in the face of life’s storms.

Without a solid spiritual foundation, it is easy to fall away, to compromise, or to be tossed to and fro by doctrines, trials, or temptations. In our spiritual walk with God, what sustains our growth and integrity is not just the activities we do but the depth of our foundation in the Word, prayer, and obedience to Christ.

In this sermon, we shall explore why a strong spiritual foundation is non-negotiable and how to ensure we are building correctly and securely in our walk with God.

1. STRONG FOUNDATIONS DETERMINE STABILITY
A weak foundation leads to collapse when trials come. A strong foundation helps a believer to remain unshaken regardless of external pressures.

a) God expects us to build wisely
God desires that we hear His Word and act on it, like the wise builder (Matthew 7:24). Hearing without doing leads to instability.

b) Life’s storms will surely come
The rains, floods, and winds mentioned by Jesus are symbolic of trials, persecutions, and temptations (1 Peter 4:12). Only a strong foundation can withstand them.

c) The Word is our foundational rock
Building on Christ means being rooted in the Word (Colossians 2:6-7). The Word strengthens our resolve and directs our steps.

d) The wise builder plans ahead
A spiritually wise person builds before the storm arrives, not during it (Proverbs 10:25). Preparation is proof of wisdom.

Biblical Example: The man who built on the rock in Matthew 7:24-25 withstood the storm, while the man who built on sand fell.

2. WITHOUT SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION, FAITH CANNOT GROW
Faith cannot flourish in shallow soil. For growth, there must be depth in the believer’s spiritual life.

a) Shallow roots lead to spiritual dryness
Jesus compared shallow faith to seeds on rocky ground that wither under pressure (Matthew 13:20-21). Growth requires depth.

b) Consistent fellowship with God builds depth
As we commune with God in prayer and study, our foundation deepens (James 4:8). Distance from God weakens the foundation.

c) Faith is established by understanding
Strong faith comes by hearing and understanding the Word (Romans 10:17). When we understand God, we trust Him more.

d) Spiritual discipline is key to strong foundation
Regular prayer, fasting, study, and obedience are tools for digging spiritual depth (1 Timothy 4:7-8).

Biblical Example: The Berean Christians (Acts 17:11) searched the Scriptures daily and developed strong faith and conviction.

3. SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION PROTECTS AGAINST DECEPTION
A strong foundation acts as a shield against false doctrine and deception in these last days.

a) The enemy targets the ignorant
Where there is no firm foundation in truth, Satan can easily sow lies (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

b) Sound doctrine is the believer’s defence
Strong foundations are built on sound teaching, not excitement or emotionalism (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

c) Discernment grows with spiritual maturity
The deeper your foundation, the sharper your ability to discern truth from error (Hebrews 5:14).

d) The Spirit of Truth helps those with solid foundations
The Holy Spirit guides the spiritually grounded (John 16:13), but shallow Christians struggle to hear Him.

Biblical Example: Jesus overcame the devil’s deception by standing on the Word (Matthew 4:1-11). His foundation was unshakable.

4. GOD BUILDS ON A SOLID FOUNDATION
God cannot establish His greater works on faulty or broken foundations.

a) God inspects foundations before promotion
Before God lifts a person, He checks their spiritual depth (Psalm 11:3). Shaky lives cannot carry divine weight.

b) Spiritual gifts rest on character foundation
Anointing without depth can destroy. Character is the base of all lasting ministry (2 Peter 1:5-10).

c) Strong foundations lead to divine assignments
God entrusts great responsibilities to those with strong foundations (1 Corinthians 3:10).

d) Holiness and obedience are non-negotiable
God builds on lives submitted to Him in holiness (Ephesians 2:20-22).

Biblical Example: Paul became a wise master builder because he first had a strong foundation in Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10-11).

5. NEGLECTING FOUNDATION INVITES GREAT FALL
Ignoring foundational truths leads to eventual collapse, even after years of effort.

a) Great fall follows wrong building
Jesus said, “great was the fall of it” (Matthew 7:27), because the foundation was never right.

b) Many fall not because of storms, but lack of foundation
The problem is not the storm—it’s what you’re standing on.

c) Time reveals the strength of foundations
It may not show today, but time and trials will test your foundation (1 Corinthians 3:13).

d) You can’t build foundation during crisis
When the flood has started, it's too late to start building. Now is the time to strengthen your base (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

Biblical Example: Samson lost his spiritual foundation through compromise and fell into disgrace and defeat (Judges 16:20).

CONCLUSION:
The strength of your spiritual life is not in the volume of your activity but in the depth of your foundation. If your root is not in Christ, everything else will eventually crumble. A spiritual walk with God that is not built on prayer, the Word, obedience, and holiness cannot stand.

Now is the time to dig deep, examine your walk with God, and strengthen your foundation. Only those with spiritual depth will survive and thrive in these last days.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, help me to build my life on Christ, the solid rock.
2. Father, deepen my spiritual walk with You daily.
3. I refuse to be a shallow Christian; let my roots grow deep in You.
4. Every crack in my foundation, Lord, repair it with Your mercy.
5. Father, deliver me from deception and establish me in truth.
6. Let my life be rooted and grounded in Your Word.
7. Holy Spirit, be my guide and teacher daily.
8. I reject every distraction pulling me away from my spiritual foundation.
9. Strengthen my spiritual discipline, O Lord.
10. Make me a wise builder, fit for divine assignments.
