Description: God has the power to destroy every chain of addiction and set His children free.

INTRODUCTION:
Addiction is a form of bondage that holds many people captive, whether through substances, sinful habits, or recurring destructive behaviours. It robs lives of purpose, steals joy, and can even threaten health, finances, and relationships. Despite the strength of these chains, God has the authority to break them completely.

Freedom from addiction is not just external but also spiritual. Jesus came to liberate the captives, heal the brokenhearted, and restore lives to fullness. Understanding God’s ability to break chains empowers believers to seek deliverance with faith and expectation.

This sermon will teach how God breaks every chain, restores what addiction has stolen, and strengthens believers to live in lasting freedom through Christ.

Walking in the Spirit sustains victory over addiction.

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 91:7-10 (KJV)
“A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.” –

Description: God has the power to shield His children and make them untouchable by the schemes of the enemy.

INTRODUCTION:
In life, we face threats, attacks, and challenges that are often beyond human control. These can be spiritual, physical, or emotional, yet God assures His people that He is their refuge and protector. To be declared untouchable by God is to receive supernatural protection over every area of life.

This declaration is not just defensive but also positional. When God declares someone untouchable, they are positioned above every scheme, attack, and plan of the enemy. It brings peace, confidence, and divine security, assuring the believer that no weapon formed against them shall prosper.

Understanding how God makes His children untouchable requires faith, obedience, and an intimate relationship with Him. It assures believers that divine protection is not optional but a reality for those who trust Him.

THE GOD WHO MAKES THE LAST FIRST

THE GOD WHO MAKES THE LAST FIRST

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Mark 10:31
But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.– Mark 10:31

Supporting Texts: Matthew 19:30, Luke 13:30, James 4:10, 1 Corinthians 1:27

Description: God has the power to reverse situations, elevate the overlooked, and promote those considered last.

INTRODUCTION:
Life often presents situations where the humble, the overlooked, or the last in line feel forgotten or undervalued. Yet, the Bible teaches that God’s ways are not like man’s ways. He delights in reversing human expectations and promoting those whom the world has despised.

The principle of God making the last first is rooted in His justice and mercy. It assures the believer that no matter how long they have waited or how unfair life may seem, God is aware and ready to act. His timing is perfect, and His promotion is irreversible.

This message explores how God elevates the last, what attitudes invite His favour, and how to position oneself to receive His divine reversal.

1. GOD SEES THE VALUE IN THE LAST
God does not overlook anyone; He sees potential where others see none.

a) Divine perspective over human ranking – 1 Samuel 16:7
God looks at the heart, not the outward appearance.

b) Humility attracts God’s attention – James 4:10
Those who humble themselves are positioned for exaltation.

c) Faithfulness in small things matters – Luke 16:10
God promotes the faithful regardless of their current status.

d) God’s timing is perfect – Ecclesiastes 3:1
No one is too late for God’s intervention.

Biblical Example: David, the youngest son of Jesse, was overlooked by his family but chosen by God to be king of Israel (1 Samuel 16:1–13).

2. GOD REVERSES EXPECTATIONS
God delights in reversing human circumstances to display His glory.

a) The last shall be first – Mark 10:31

b) He humbles the proud – Luke 1:52
The elevation of the humble is part of God’s plan.

c) Divine reversal restores justice – Psalm 75:6–7
Promotion comes not by might but by the Lord’s decision.

d) God’s ways bring astonishment – Matthew 19:30
People are often surprised by God’s reversal.

Biblical Example: Joseph was sold as a slave and forgotten in prison but became second in command over Egypt (Genesis 41:39–41).

3. GOD PROMOTES THE FAITHFUL
Promotion comes to those who remain steadfast despite challenges.

a) Perseverance is key – Galatians 6:9
Faithful endurance results in divine reward.

b) Obedience invites elevation – 1 Kings 2:19
God rewards those who serve Him consistently.

c) God blesses the diligent – Proverbs 22:29
Skill and diligence in small tasks bring greater responsibilities.

d) Trusting God ensures security in promotion – Philippians 1:6
God who began a good work will complete it in your life.

Biblical Example: Esther, a humble Jewish girl, was promoted to queen and used by God to save her people (Esther 2:17–20).

4. GOD’S PROMOTION IS IRREVERSIBLE
Once God elevates someone, no force can undo it.

a) God establishes and preserves promotion – Psalm 75:7
It is God who lifts and sets in place.

b) Divine elevation silences opposition – Daniel 6:27
God’s favour protects the promoted from their enemies.

c) His promotion brings lasting fruit – Psalm 115:15–16
Those He lifts are set for blessing and influence.

d) Trust in God overcomes fear of delay – Isaiah 60:22
No one is too late for God’s appointed time.

CONCLUSION:
God’s principle of making the last first assures every believer that position and circumstance do not limit divine favour. Those overlooked today will rise in His perfect timing.

Faithfulness, humility, and trust in God position you for promotion. Receive His reversal in your life today, and walk boldly knowing that the last shall indeed become first in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, elevate me from my current position to the place of Your favour.

THE GOD WHO SHUTS THE MOUTH OF DEVOURERS

THE GOD WHO SHUTS THE MOUTH OF DEVOURERS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Malachi 3:10-11

Key Verse: “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.” – Malachi 3:11

Supporting Texts: Joel 2:25-26, Haggai 1:6, John 10:10, Philippians 4:19, Psalm 23:1

Description: God has the power to silence every devourer and preserve the blessings of His children.

INTRODUCTION:
There are forces described in Scripture as devourers—agents that waste resources, frustrate efforts, and swallow harvests. These devourers manifest in diverse ways: sickness that consumes finances, spiritual attacks that bring setbacks, unending struggles that swallow progress, and unexplainable losses that drain joy. But God is not only a Provider; He is also the One who protects His children from these destructive forces.

In Malachi 3:11, God promises to rebuke the devourer for His people. This means the battle against devourers is not ours to fight; it is God Himself who rises to silence them. When God shuts the mouth of devourers, no power can consume what He has blessed us with. He secures our harvest, protects our increase, and ensures our labour is not wasted.

This teaching will help us understand how God shuts the mouth of devourers, how to walk in His covenant protection, and how to enjoy lasting fruitfulness in Christ.

1. GOD REBUKES THE DEVOURER FOR OUR SAKE
God personally takes responsibility for silencing the devourer when we walk in obedience to Him.

a) The authority of God over devourers – Psalm 24:1
God owns the earth and everything in it; no devourer can override His power.

b) God’s rebuke silences destruction – Isaiah 17:13
When He speaks, the enemy loses strength and flees.

c) Covenant obedience triggers divine rebuke – Malachi 3:10-11
Through faithful giving, we place ourselves under God’s covenant of preservation.

d) God’s word is final over the devourer – Psalm 106:9
Just as He rebuked the Red Sea, He silences every force that seeks to waste His people.

Biblical Example: In Exodus 10:12-20, God rebuked the locusts that devoured Egypt, but Israel was preserved because of His covering.

2. GOD RESTORES WHAT THE DEVOURER HAS STOLEN
Even when the devourer has caused damage, God has the power to restore fully.

a) God restores lost years – Joel 2:25
No time, opportunity, or blessing lost is beyond His ability to recover.

b) Restoration brings abundance and joy – Joel 2:26
God ensures that satisfaction replaces loss.

c) No loss is permanent with God – Job 42:10
He turns captivity into double blessings.

d) Restoration testifies of God’s faithfulness – Psalm 126:1-2
When God restores, it becomes a testimony to all.

Biblical Example: Job lost everything to devourers, but God restored him with twice as much as he had before (Job 42:12).

3. GOD PROTECTS OUR HARVEST AND INCREASE
The protection of God ensures that the fruits of our labour are not wasted.

a) The Lord is our Shepherd – Psalm 23:1
His provision comes with divine preservation.

b) Without His covering, labour is wasted – Haggai 1:6
Without God, one gathers little no matter how much effort is invested.

c) God preserves our lives and blessings – Psalm 121:7
He protects us from evil that devours destiny.

d) God establishes lasting fruitfulness – John 15:16
What He gives remains preserved by His power.

Biblical Example: In Genesis 26:12-14, Isaac sowed in famine, but God preserved his harvest and multiplied him until he became very great.

4. GOD DESTROYS THE INFLUENCE OF DEVOURERS COMPLETELY
God does not only silence devourers temporarily, He brings their power to an end.

a) The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy – John 10:10a
Devourers are satanic agents of waste.

b) Christ came to give abundant life – John 10:10b
Devourers cannot thrive in the presence of divine abundance.

c) The blood of Jesus gives victory – Revelation 12:11
Through the blood, we overcome every devourer’s influence.

d) Victory over devourers is permanent in Christ – Romans 8:37
We are more than conquerors over every force of waste and destruction.

Biblical Example: In Daniel 6:22, God shut the mouth of the lions, proving His power to silence devourers completely.

CONCLUSION:
The devourer is a thief, a destroyer, and a waster of blessings. But the good news is that God has committed Himself to rebuke them for our sake. He restores what is lost, protects our harvests, and destroys their influence completely.

Therefore, we must trust Him, obey His covenant instructions, and walk in the assurance that devourers have no power over our lives. From today, the mouth of every devourer against your destiny shall be shut forever in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, thank You for being my shield against devourers.
2. Father, rebuke every devourer working against my life and destiny.
3. Lord, restore every blessing and opportunity I have lost.

10. Father, shut the mouth of devourers permanently in my life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. Every devourer in your life is silenced today!
2. You shall no longer labour in vain in Jesus’ name!
3. Every wasted opportunity in your life is divinely restored!
4. Your harvest shall be preserved and multiplied!
5. No devourer shall touch your finances again!
6. The blood of Jesus shall cover your family and destiny!
7. From now, your efforts shall yield lasting results!
8. Every lion sent against your destiny is shut down by God!
9. You will eat in plenty and be satisfied!
10. The influence of devourers over your life is permanently destroyed!

Main Text: Isaiah 40:28-31

Description: God is ever present to strengthen the weak, renew the weary, and empower His children to keep moving forward.

INTRODUCTION:
In the journey of life, moments of weariness are inevitable. Human strength is limited, and challenges can sap our energy, leaving us feeling drained and overwhelmed. It is in such moments that the sustaining power of God becomes most evident, for He is the One who strengthens the faint-hearted and empowers those who have no might.

The Scriptures remind us that God never grows weary, and His strength is limitless. When we turn to Him in faith, He infuses us with fresh grace to endure, overcome, and rise above our struggles. His strength is made perfect in our weakness, revealing His glory in our insufficiency.

This truth is deeply relevant for every believer today. In a world filled with stress, trials, and disappointments, we must learn to depend on God’s unfailing strength. As we do, we will find renewal, hope, and the courage to keep pressing forward no matter the obstacles we face.

2.  GOD GIVES STRENGTH TO THOSE WHO WAIT ON HIM

Those who know their God receive strength to accomplish the impossible.

God enables His children to remain steadfast to the end of their race.

Biblical Example: Elijah, weary and ready to give up, was strengthened by God with supernatural food to continue his journey (1 Kings 19:5-8).

CONCLUSION:
Our God is the inexhaustible source of strength. No matter how weary we become in life’s journey, His strength is available for renewal, refreshing, and victory. He never abandons the weak; rather, He delights in lifting them up and granting them power to soar like eagles.

THE GOD WHO CAUSES MEN TO FAVOUR YOU

THE GOD WHO CAUSES MEN TO FAVOUR YOU

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 102:13

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

Supporting Texts: Exodus 3:21, Proverbs 16:7, Luke 2:52, Esther 2:15-17, Genesis 39:21

Description: God in His sovereignty can touch the hearts of men to show you uncommon favour for your upliftment, success, and destiny fulfilment.

INTRODUCTION:
Favour is one of the greatest blessings a man can receive from God. When God causes men to favour you, doors that have been shut for years suddenly open. Opportunities that seemed unreachable become accessible. Divine favour goes beyond human connections; it is God’s supernatural hand directing the hearts of people to bless and support you.

The Scriptures reveal that favour is not just an accident—it is orchestrated by God. Joseph found favour in Egypt, Esther found favour in the sight of the king, and even Jesus grew in favour with God and man. This shows that favour is both divine and human, but the root is always God’s intervention.

Beloved, when God decides to favour you, even your enemies will be compelled to bless you. Favour breaks protocols, cancels struggles, and positions you for greatness. Let us consider how the God we serve causes men to favour us.

1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF ALL FAVOUR
Before men can favour you, God must first release His favour upon you.

a) Favour flows from God’s mercy (Psalm 5:12)
God surrounds the righteous with His favour like a shield.

It is not by effort but by the mercy of God.

c) God controls the hearts of men (Proverbs 21:1)
He turns hearts in your favour as He wills.

d) Without God, human favour is empty (John 3:27)
Nothing good comes without Heaven’s release.

Biblical Example: Joseph in Potiphar’s house found favour because God was with him (Genesis 39:21).

2. FAVOUR BRINGS SUPERNATURAL LIFTING
When God favours you, no barrier can limit your rising.

a) Favour changes your status suddenly (Exodus 3:21)
The Israelites left Egypt with wealth because of favour.

b) Favour brings access to great opportunities (Revelation 3:8)
God opens doors no man can shut.

c) Favour distinguishes you from the crowd (Esther 2:17)
Esther was preferred above all others.

d) Favour lifts you beyond qualification (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
It is not by skill but by divine favour.

Biblical Example: Esther found favour before the king and became queen (Esther 2:15-17).

3. FAVOUR ATTRACTS DIVINE HELPERS
God causes men to rise and help you in your journey.

a) Favour connects you to destiny helpers (Isaiah 60:10)
Strangers shall build your walls.

b) Favour makes people willing to assist you (Exodus 12:36)
Egyptians gave the Israelites what they asked for.

c) Favour brings the right people into your life (Proverbs 18:22)
God aligns you with supportive relationships.

d) Favour turns hearts of kings towards you (Nehemiah 2:4-5)
The king granted Nehemiah’s request to rebuild Jerusalem.

Biblical Example: Nehemiah found favour before the king to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

4. FAVOUR PRESERVES AND DEFENDS YOU
The favour of God shields you from harm.

a) Favour makes you untouchable to enemies (Psalm 105:15)
“Touch not mine anointed.”

b) Favour brings deliverance from danger (Psalm 41:11)
The enemy cannot triumph over you.

c) Favour ensures divine protection (Psalm 30:5)
His favour is life.

d) Favour keeps you standing in tough seasons (Isaiah 41:10)

THE GOD WHO PROSPERS THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS

THE GOD WHO PROSPERS THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Deuteronomy 28:8-12

Key Verse :“The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.” (Deuteronomy 28:12)

Supporting Texts: Psalm 90:17; Proverbs 10:22; 3 John 1:2; Genesis 39:2-3; Joshua 1:8

Description: God delights in prospering His children, and He blesses the work of their hands when they walk in obedience to His Word.

INTRODUCTION:
Prosperity is not just about wealth or riches, but about God’s blessing resting upon a person’s life, producing fruitfulness, favour, and success. The Bible makes it clear that God prospers the work of the hands of those who trust Him.

From Genesis, when God placed Adam in the garden to tend it, we see that man is called to work and be productive. Work is not a curse, but fruitless labour is. Without God’s blessing, the work of our hands becomes toil, but with His blessing, it yields increase and brings satisfaction.

This message reveals the God who prospers the work of our hands. He is interested in our businesses, careers, ministries, and skills. When we align with His covenant, He takes what we do and breathes on it, making it fruitful and prosperous.

1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF PROSPERITY
Before prosperity can manifest, we must understand that God alone is the true source of success and blessing.

a) God blesses and establishes (Deuteronomy 8:18)
It is God who gives power to get wealth, confirming His covenant with His people.

b) The blessing of the Lord makes rich (Proverbs 10:22)
True prosperity comes without sorrow because it is rooted in God’s blessing.

c) God delights in the prosperity of His people (Psalm 35:27)
It pleases God when His children prosper in all they do.

d) Prosperity flows from His presence (Genesis 39:2-3)
Joseph prospered because the Lord was with him in all his endeavours.

Biblical Example: Joseph in Potiphar’s house prospered in all he did because the Lord was with him (Genesis 39:2-3).

2. OBEDIENCE OPENS THE DOOR TO PROSPERITY
God’s prosperity is tied to obedience, faithfulness, and walking in His covenant.

a) Obedience brings blessing (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)
If we fully obey God, His blessings overtake every aspect of our lives.

b) Meditating on the Word (Joshua 1:8)
Success and prosperity come when we meditate and act on God’s Word daily.

c) Diligence is required (Proverbs 22:29)
A diligent worker stands before kings, not obscure men; prosperity follows diligence.

d) Sin hinders prosperity (Jeremiah 5:25)
Disobedience and sin can shut the heavens and hinder blessings from flowing.

Biblical Example: Isaac prospered in Gerar because he obeyed God’s command not to leave, and God blessed him abundantly (Genesis 26:1-14).

3. GOD PROSPERS THROUGH DIVINE FAVOUR
Prosperity is not just about effort; God releases favour that accelerates success beyond human ability.

a) God surrounds His children with favour (Psalm 5:12)
His favour is a shield that opens doors and grants increase.

b) Favour makes the difference (Exodus 3:21)
Israel did not leave Egypt empty; God gave them favour before the Egyptians.

c) Favour brings divine connections (Esther 2:17)
Favour lifted Esther from obscurity to royalty.

d) Favour establishes prosperity (Nehemiah 2:8)
Nehemiah received resources and support because the good hand of God was upon him.

Biblical Example: Ruth found favour with Boaz, and her life turned from labouring in the fields to becoming the great-grandmother of King David (Ruth 2:10-12).

4. GOD PROSPERS TO MAKE US A BLESSING
Prosperity is never just for self-gratification but for advancing God’s kingdom and blessing others.

a) Prosperity is a covenant tool (Genesis 12:2)
God blesses His children so they can be a blessing to nations.

b) Prosperity establishes His kingdom (Deuteronomy 8:18)
God prospers us to finance His work on earth.

c) Prosperity attracts souls (Zechariah 8:23)
When people see God’s blessing, they are drawn to Him.

d) Prosperity glorifies God (Matthew 5:16)
Our prosperity should shine as a testimony of God’s goodness.

Biblical Example: Solomon was blessed with wisdom and prosperity, and kings from nations came to hear him and honour God (1 Kings 10:23-24).

CONCLUSION:
God prospers the work of our hands, not just for our personal comfort but for His glory and the blessing of others. When we walk in obedience, diligence, and favour, the Lord ensures that the work of our hands bears lasting fruit.

Prosperity is a covenant reality for every believer. As you commit your work to God, He will breathe on it, establish you, and cause you to be a channel of blessing to others.

THE GOD WHO WATERS YOUR DRY LAND

THE GOD WHO WATERS YOUR DRY LAND

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 41:17-20

Key Verses: “When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue fails for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them. I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.” (Isaiah 41:17-18)

Supporting Texts: Deuteronomy 28:12; Joel 2:23; Psalm 65:9-10; John 7:37-38; Ezekiel 34:26

Description: God has the power to turn dryness into fruitfulness, supplying life-giving water to every desert of your life.

INTRODUCTION:
Dry land represents barrenness, lack, delay, and unproductivity. Spiritually, it is a place where life seems stagnant and prayers appear unanswered. Yet God reveals Himself as the One who waters dry lands, making deserts bloom with life again.

From Genesis to Revelation, water symbolises life, the Holy Spirit, and divine provision. Wherever God releases His waters, transformation takes place—dead things come alive, barren places become fruitful, and impossibilities turn into testimonies.

This message assures us that no matter how dry or hopeless a situation may seem, God has promised to water our dry lands. If we trust in Him, He will send His rain, refresh our souls, and turn every desert of our lives into a fertile garden.

1. GOD IS THE SOURCE OF LIVING WATER
Before any dry land can be watered, we must acknowledge that God alone is the true source of life-giving water.

a) God opens the heavens (Deuteronomy 28:12)
He commands His blessings like rain from above, watering every area of need.

b) Jesus is the living water (John 7:37-38)
He promised rivers of living water to flow out of those who believe in Him.

c) The Holy Spirit is the fountain of refreshment (John 4:14)
Whoever drinks from Christ never thirsts again because the Spirit becomes a well within.

d) God’s supply never runs dry (Psalm 36:9)
With Him is the fountain of life; His abundance is eternal.

Biblical Example: In Exodus 17:6, God brought water out of the rock through Moses, proving He is the unfailing source of living water.

2. GOD WATERS BARREN AND FRUITLESS LANDS
God specialises in turning wastelands into fruitful gardens, restoring hope where there was none.

a) God makes deserts bloom (Isaiah 35:1-2)
The wilderness shall rejoice and blossom abundantly when God waters it.

b) Dry seasons are temporary (Psalm 126:4-5)
God restores fortunes like streams in the Negev, turning tears into joy.

c) Fruitfulness is God’s will (Genesis 1:28)
From creation, God’s mandate is for His children to be fruitful and multiply.

d) God remembers the barren (1 Samuel 2:5)
He makes the barren woman fruitful, overturning every reproach.

Biblical Example: In 2 Kings 3:16-20, God filled dry valleys with water without rain, proving His power to water barren lands.

3. GOD SENDS THE RAIN OF HIS SPIRIT
Beyond physical water, God promises the outpouring of His Spirit to refresh and empower His people.

a) The promise of the latter rain (Joel 2:23)
God pours out His Spirit like rain to bring restoration and harvest.

b) Showers of blessing (Ezekiel 34:26)
God rains His Spirit, favour, and increase upon His children.

c) The Spirit revives the weary (Isaiah 44:3)
God pours water on the thirsty and floods on the dry ground, reviving His people.

d) The Spirit brings transformation (Acts 2:17)
The outpouring of the Holy Spirit brings visions, dreams, and power for exploits.

Biblical Example: On the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), the Holy Spirit was poured out like rain, filling and empowering the disciples.

4. GOD TURNS DRY LAND INTO TESTIMONIES
When God waters a dry land, testimonies overflow, and His name is glorified.

a) Dryness gives way to abundance (Psalm 65:9-10)
God visits the earth and waters it, enriching it with His rivers.

b) Delayed promises become fulfilled (Habakkuk 2:3)
Though it tarries, God’s rain of fulfilment comes at the appointed time.

c) Broken lives are restored (Isaiah 58:11)
God makes His people like a well-watered garden, full of life and strength.

d) The testimony of new beginnings (2 Corinthians 5:17)
Every dry past is replaced by new life in Christ.

Biblical Example: In John 2:1-11, Jesus turned water into wine at Cana, turning a dry moment of shame into a testimony of overflowing joy.

CONCLUSION:
God is faithful to water every dry land in the life of His children. He alone is the source of living water, the One who makes barren lands fruitful, pours out His Spirit, and transforms deserts into gardens.

No dryness is permanent with God. Today, He promises to refresh your life, restore what was lost, and cause you to flourish like a watered garden. All you need is faith in Him, for He is the God who waters your dry land.

THE GOD WHO CALLS THINGS INTO BEING

THE GOD WHO CALLS THINGS INTO BEING

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
1. You shall see God call forth blessings into your life.
2. You shall experience life in every area that was once dead.
3. You shall step into divine possibilities in Jesus’ name.
4. You shall no longer be limited by human reasoning.
5. You shall see new doors open by the word of the Lord.
6. You shall recover every lost blessing as God calls it back into existence.
7. You shall walk in creative miracles and supernatural provision.
8. You shall see rivers in your wilderness and pathways in your desert.
9. You shall declare God’s word and it shall manifest speedily.
10. You shall be a living testimony of the God who calls things into being.

THE GOD WHO RESTORES LOST OPPORTUNITIES

THE GOD WHO RESTORES LOST OPPORTUNITIES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Joel 2:25-26

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Thank You Lord for being the Restorer of my life.
