INTRODUCTION:
In the affairs of life and destiny, many voices try to influence the direction of a man’s journey. There are those who may say “no” to your progress, opportunities, or breakthroughs, but when God has already said “yes,” their words and opposition become powerless. The sovereignty of God ensures that His decisions stand regardless of human opinion, satanic resistance, or circumstantial limitations.

God’s “yes” is not merely an expression of approval; it is a declaration backed by His unchanging nature and omnipotent power. When He speaks, His word is final. Heaven and earth may pass away, but not a single promise from His mouth will fail. This truth should fill the believer’s heart with confidence, knowing that no man, no system, and no demon can reverse His decree.

This message reminds us that our faith must rest in the authority of the One who holds the keys of David — the One who opens doors and no one can shut, and who shuts doors that no one can open. When God says yes to your destiny, success, promotion, or breakthrough, it is eternally settled.

1. GOD’S YES IS BASED ON HIS SOVEREIGN WILL
When God says yes, it is not subject to human approval or earthly systems because His decisions are rooted in His absolute authority as the Sovereign King.

a) God’s authority is supreme – Psalm 115:3 reminds us that “Our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases Him.” No earthly force can override His decisions.

b) God’s counsel cannot be overturned – Proverbs 19:21 says “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”

c) God’s yes is irreversible – Numbers 23:20 shows that once God has blessed, it cannot be undone.

d) God is consistent in His decisions – James 1:17 tells us He does not change like shifting shadows.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s elevation in Egypt (Genesis 41:38-44). Despite betrayal, slavery, and false accusation, when God said yes to his destiny, no one could stop it.

2. GOD’S YES NULLIFIES EVERY OPPOSITION
When God says yes, every power resisting you loses its strength and authority.

a) Opposition is rendered powerless – Romans 8:31 says, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”

b) God frustrates the plans of the wicked – Psalm 33:10 shows how He thwarts the purposes of nations.

c) God makes a way where there is no way – Isaiah 43:16 reminds us He makes a path through the mighty waters.

d) God gives favour before men – Proverbs 16:7 says when a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies live at peace with him.

Biblical Example: Nehemiah rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 6:15-16). Despite intense opposition from Sanballat and Tobiah, God’s yes made the work unstoppable.

3. GOD’S YES BRINGS DIVINE ACCESS AND OPEN DOORS
When God says yes, He grants you opportunities that no one can close.

a) God holds the keys of David – Revelation 3:7 says He opens and no one can shut.

b) Divine opportunities cannot be stolen – Job 42:2 says no purpose of God can be thwarted.

c) God’s yes overrides protocols – Esther 5:2 shows how the king received Esther despite strict royal laws.

d) God’s yes promotes the humble – Psalm 75:6-7 declares that promotion comes from God alone.

Biblical Example: David’s enthronement as king (2 Samuel 5:1-4). Despite years of pursuit by Saul, God’s yes led to David’s coronation.

4. GOD’S YES GUARANTEES FINAL VICTORY
No matter the battle, God’s yes means your victory is already secured.

a) God fights for His people – Exodus 14:14 says the Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.

b) Victory belongs to the Lord – Proverbs 21:31 reminds us that the horse is prepared for the day of battle, but the victory rests with the Lord.

c) God’s yes ends in testimony – Psalm 126:3 declares that the Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

d) God’s yes silences the enemy – Micah 7:8 says, “Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise.”

Biblical Example: The Israelites’ victory at the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-30). God’s yes opened the sea for His people and closed it upon their enemies.

CONCLUSION:
When God says yes, no man, power, or circumstance can say no. His yes is backed by His sovereign authority, divine favour, unstoppable power, and eternal promises. As children of God, we must learn to trust His verdict above the opinions of men or the threats of the enemy.

No matter the delay, resistance, or opposition, the “yes” of God concerning your life will surely manifest. Stand firm in faith, live in obedience, and watch God fulfil His promises because His yes is final and irreversible.
