MONTH OF SUPERNATURAL SHIFT

TITLE: OCTOBER: MY MONTH OF SUPERNATURAL SHIFT

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 2 Samuel 6:10-12 
Supporting Texts: 1 Chronicles 13:13-14, Psalm 84:11, Deuteronomy 28:1-2

INTRODUCTION 
As we step into the month of October, we declare it to be our month of Supernatural Shift. This is a season where God’s hand will move mightily in our lives, bringing about a sudden and divine change, just like He did for Obededom. In 2 Samuel 6, the Ark of God was brought into Obededom’s house, and within three months, his life experienced a dramatic turnaround. The same Ark that caused Uzzah’s death became the source of life-changing blessings for Obededom and his entire household. His testimony became so remarkable that it spread across the nation.

This month of October, we are believing God for a supernatural shift that will bring us out of obscurity into the spotlight, out of lack into abundance, and out of stagnation into supernatural progress. Just as Obededom prospered within three months, may this last quarter of the year bring about the supernatural shift we have been waiting for.

1. THE SHIFT IN OBEDIEDOM’S LIFE 

a) The Unexpected Turnaround 
Obededom was not a man of influence or prestige, but when the Ark of God came to his house, everything changed. The Ark represented the presence of God, and wherever God’s presence is, transformation is inevitable. In just three months, Obededom’s life was completely transformed from obscurity to prosperity (2 Samuel 6:11).

b) The Power of Hosting God’s Presence 
Obededom’s blessing did not come because of who he was, but because of God’s presence in his house. When we welcome the presence of God into our lives, everything changes. Psalm 84:11 says, "For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favour and honour; no good thing does He withhold from those whose walk is blameless." When we align ourselves with God’s presence, we position ourselves for supernatural blessings and breakthroughs.

Biblical Example:
The Ark of the Covenant was a symbol of God’s presence and power, just as the presence of God turned Obededom’s life around, we see a similar divine shift in the life of Joseph. In one day, Joseph was promoted from a prisoner to the second-in-command in Egypt (Genesis 41). This is the power of God’s favour and divine presence.

2. THREE MONTHS OF SUPERNATURAL SHIFT 

a) The Time Frame for Transformation 
Obededom’s story highlights the fact that God doesn’t need a long time to turn your life around. In just three months, his entire household experienced an outpouring of divine blessings. God specializes in doing the miraculous in a short amount of time. This month of October, we are declaring a supernatural shift that will take place in the last three months of this year, bringing about rapid change, breakthrough, and advancement.

b) Visible and Unstoppable Progress
The blessings on Obededom’s house were so noticeable that King David heard about it (2 Samuel 6:12). When God moves in your life, the results are undeniable. Your progress becomes evident to all, and it becomes a testimony that draws others to the goodness of God. The shift that is coming will be so profound that everyone around you will see it.

Biblical Example: 
In the book of Nehemiah, the walls of Jerusalem were rebuilt in 52 days (Nehemiah 6:15). What had been in ruins for years was restored in a supernatural time frame because of God’s divine intervention. Just as Nehemiah experienced rapid progress, so shall we see supernatural shifts in this season.

3. WHAT OTHERS FEARED BECAME A BLESSING 

a) God Turns Fear into Favour
The Ark of God had caused Uzzah’s death, and many might have thought it would bring harm to Obededom’s house as well. However, God had a different plan. What others feared brought life-changing blessings to Obededom. This is a reminder that God can turn what others reject, fear, or discard into a source of blessing for you. Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose."

b) God Uses What Seems Impossible
God has the power to use what seems impossible or fearful to others as the very tool of blessing in your life. This month of October, we declare that what others fear will become a source of testimony and blessing for us. The same way the Ark brought prosperity to Obededom, God will use what seems challenging to usher in supernatural breakthroughs.

Biblical Example: 
In Genesis 50:20, Joseph told his brothers, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." God turned a difficult situation into a divine setup for Joseph’s elevation. In the same way, God can turn every difficult situation in your life into a stepping stone for your divine shift.

4. POSITIONING YOURSELF FOR THE SUPERNATURAL SHIFT

a) Make Room for God’s Presence
The key to Obededom’s blessings was the presence of God. To experience your supernatural shift this October, you need to intentionally invite God’s presence into every area of your life. Just as Obededom hosted the Ark, host God in your life through worship, prayer, and obedience. Psalm 91:1 says, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Living in God’s presence is the key to unlocking divine favour and transformation.

b) Align Your Faith and Confession 
Faith is essential for experiencing a supernatural shift. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that "without faith it is impossible to please God." Speak in alignment with God’s promises, and expect His miraculous intervention. Declare that October will be your month of divine change and supernatural increase.

Biblical Example: 
In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Jabez prayed for God to bless him and enlarge his territory, and God granted his request. Jabez positioned himself for a supernatural shift by calling on God in faith. In the same way, we must call on God and believe that He will bring about a shift in our lives.

CONCLUSION 
As we enter this month of October, let us declare it to be a month of Supernatural Shift. Like Obededom, whose life was radically transformed in three months, we are trusting God to bring about a divine turnaround in the last quarter of this year. It doesn’t matter what has happened in the past nine months—God can shift everything in an instant. His presence, power, and favour will bring about rapid, visible progress in every area of your life. You will end this year with a testimony of supernatural increase and breakthrough, and the world will see what God has done in your life.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Lord, I invite Your presence into my life for a divine turnaround this October. 

2. Father, I declare that October will be a month of supernatural shift and breakthrough. 

3. Lord, let what others fear become a source of blessing and testimony in my life. 

4. Father, turn every challenge and setback in my life into a stepping stone for progress.

8. Father, I decree that the last quarter of this year will bring supernatural increase and abundance. 

9. Lord, position me for a divine shift in my career, family, and ministry. 

10. Father, thank You for the supernatural testimonies that will manifest in my life this month.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS

7. Your testimony of supernatural shift will be the talk of your city, just like Obededom’s. 

8. I prophesy that the last three months of this year will bring more blessings than the first nine months combined. 

9. You will end this year with more than enough, and God’s presence will be evident in your life. 

10. I declare that your supernatural shift is now, and no power can stop what God is about to do in your life!

OCTOBER: MY MONTH OF DIVINE ENLARGEMENT AND INCREASE

TITLE: OCTOBER: MY MONTH OF DIVINE ENLARGEMENT AND INCREASE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 71:21 
Supporting Texts: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Isaiah 54:2-3, Genesis 26:12-13, Job 8:7

INTRODUCTION 
Divine enlargement and increase are expressions of God's blessings in a believer's life. When God decides to enlarge your territory and increase your capacity, it transcends human ability and intervention. It’s the manifestation of His favour and grace, moving you from limitation to expansion, from small beginnings to greatness. October is a season where God is set to enlarge and increase you in every area of your life—spiritually, financially, physically, and emotionally.

Psalm 71:21 speaks about God’s power to increase and comfort His people. Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 understood this, and his prayer for enlargement led to a divine transformation in his life. This is your month to cry out for divine enlargement and expect supernatural increase.

1. THE PRAYER FOR DIVINE ENLARGEMENT 

a) The Story of Jabez – A Cry for Increase
Jabez was born into pain, but he refused to let his background determine his future. His prayer in 1 Chronicles 4:10 was a desperate cry for enlargement and blessing. He asked God to bless him indeed and expand his territory, to remove pain and sorrow, and grant him peace. His cry was heard, and God granted his request, bringing about a significant shift in his life.

b) Enlargement Requires Desire and Prayer 
For divine enlargement, you must first desire more from God. Jabez’s story teaches us that our background, pain, or limitations cannot stop God from enlarging us if we ask in faith. James 4:2 reminds us that we do not have because we do not ask. October is the month to ask God for divine enlargement.

Biblical Example: The Widow's Oil (2 Kings 4:1-7) 
The widow cried out to Elisha in her moment of lack, and by following prophetic instructions, her small jar of oil was multiplied. As a result, she experienced supernatural increase. Her obedience to God’s word led to divine enlargement, allowing her to pay her debts and live off the surplus.

2. THE BLESSING OF INCREASE 

a) Increase is God’s Promise to His People
Throughout the Bible, God promises to bless His people with increase. Psalm 115:14 says, “The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.” This increase is not just in material possessions but in every area of life—spiritual, relational, emotional, and financial. God desires His children to prosper and live in abundance.

b) The Importance of Fruitfulness and Multiplication 
Genesis 1:28 commands us to be fruitful and multiply. This is the first blessing God gave to humanity, and it is still His will today. When you align yourself with God’s will, you will experience supernatural multiplication in your endeavours.

Biblical Example: Isaac’s Increase (Genesis 26:12-13) 
Isaac sowed in a time of famine, and God caused him to reap a hundredfold in the same year. His obedience led to divine increase, and the Bible says, “The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous.” This month, as you obey God’s instructions, you too will experience a hundredfold increase.

3. PREPARING FOR DIVINE ENLARGEMENT 

a) Enlarge Your Capacity 
Isaiah 54:2-3 commands us to enlarge the place of our tent, stretch out our curtains, and lengthen our cords. For God to bring divine enlargement, you must prepare yourself to receive it. This involves stretching your faith, expanding your vision, and being ready to step into new territories that God is opening for you.

b) Faith and Obedience Are Key 
To walk in divine enlargement and increase, you must trust God completely. Faith is the key that unlocks the door to your increase. Hebrews 11:6 tells us that without faith, it is impossible to please God. In addition to faith, obedience to God’s word is essential. When you act on divine instructions, you position yourself for supernatural enlargement.

Biblical Example: Peter’s Obedience (Luke 5:1-7) 
Peter and his companions had fished all night and caught nothing, but when Jesus told them to cast their nets again, they obeyed. The result was a miraculous catch that caused their nets to break and their boats to overflow. This was divine enlargement, and it came as a result of obedience to Jesus’ command.

4. ENLARGEMENT THROUGH DIVINE GRACE 

a) It Is Not by Power or Might
Zechariah 4:6 reminds us that increase and enlargement do not come by human effort alone but by the Spirit of God. Divine enlargement is a work of grace. It is not dependent on your strength, background, or connections, but on God’s favour and empowerment.

b) Grace for Expansion 
In Psalm 71:21, David declares that God will increase his greatness and comfort him on every side. This increase comes through God’s grace and divine favour. As you walk in faith this month, trust in the grace of God to enlarge your territory and cause you to increase in all areas of your life.

Biblical Example: The Church in Acts (Acts 2:41-47) 
After the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the early church experienced rapid growth and expansion. The grace of God was upon them, and they increased in number daily. This kind of divine enlargement comes when God’s favour and grace rest upon His people.

CONCLUSION 
October is your month of divine enlargement and increase. Just as God enlarged the territory of Jabez, increased the harvest of Isaac, and multiplied the oil of the widow, He will do the same for you. This month, expect supernatural expansion in every area of your life. Prepare your heart, enlarge your vision, and position yourself for God’s divine favour.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Father, I thank You for this new month of divine enlargement and increase. 

2. Lord, enlarge my territory and cause me to experience supernatural growth. 

3. Father, let every limitation in my life be broken in Jesus’ name. 

4. Lord, increase the works of my hands and multiply my efforts. 

5. Father, by Your grace, take me to new levels of greatness this month. 

6. Lord, grant me the faith and obedience to step into my season of increase. 

7. Father, open doors of favour and opportunity for me in October. 

8. Lord, let the works of my enemies against my increase be destroyed. 

9. Father, empower me to walk in divine grace and favour this month. 

10. Lord, I receive the hundredfold blessing that comes from Your hand.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS 
1. I declare that this October, you will experience divine enlargement and increase! 

2. Your territory is expanding, and every limitation in your life is being broken. 

3. I decree that God will enlarge the works of your hands and multiply your harvest. 

4. The same God who blessed Jabez will bless you this month with supernatural increase. 

5. I declare that every effort you make this month will produce a hundredfold return. 

6. You will step into new territories of favour and opportunity in Jesus’ name! 

7. I decree that grace for enlargement and increase is upon you this month. 

8. Your vision is expanding, and you will walk in greater levels of faith and obedience. 

9. I declare that divine favour is opening doors of opportunity for you this October. 

10. God will increase your greatness and comfort you on every side in Jesus’ name!

OCTOBER: MY MONTH OF MIRACULOUS CHANGE

TITLE: OCTOBER: MY MONTH OF MIRACULOUS CHANGE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 43:19 
Supporting Texts: 2 Corinthians 5:17, Job 14:14, Genesis 41:14-16, Psalm 126:1-3

INTRODUCTION 
Change is inevitable, but miraculous change is God-ordained. This kind of change is sudden, supernatural, and life-transforming. It takes you from a place of limitation to a place of overflow, from despair to joy. The Bible is full of instances where God brought about miraculous change in the lives of His people, causing them to experience dramatic turnarounds.

As we enter into October, a new season of divine intervention is upon us. It is a month where God is set to turn around impossible situations, break longstanding barriers, and usher us into a season of miraculous change.

1. THE GOD WHO MAKES ALL THINGS NEW 

a) God’s Power to Transform Lives
Isaiah 43:19 tells us that God is doing a new thing. He has the ability to bring about change that we cannot even imagine. He is always at work, making ways where there seem to be no ways and creating new paths in the wilderness.

b) A New Creation in Christ
One of the most miraculous changes God brings is when a person is transformed by His power. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" Miraculous change begins with a new identity in Christ.

Biblical Example: The Life of Joseph (Genesis 41:14-16) 
Joseph experienced a miraculous change when he was taken from the prison to the palace. In one day, his life changed from being a forgotten prisoner to becoming the second most powerful man in Egypt. This is the kind of change God is able to bring into our lives.

2. SEASONS OF CHANGE AND DIVINE TURNAROUNDS

a) Every Situation Has a Season
Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that there is a time for everything under the sun. There is a season for struggle, and there is a season for breakthrough. Job 14:14 asks, "If someone dies, will they live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come." Job understood that even in hardship, change was inevitable.

b) God Specialises in Turning Mourning into Dancing 
Psalm 30:11 says, "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy." God has the power to turn around any situation, no matter how dire it seems. This month, expect God to turn your mourning into dancing.

Biblical Example: The Restoration of Job (Job 42:10-16) 
Job suffered great losses, but when God intervened, his story changed. Job’s end was far more glorious than his beginning, and the same God who restored Job is still in the business of miraculous change today.

3. MIRACULOUS CHANGE COMES THROUGH FAITH AND EXPECTATION 

a) Faith is Key to Experiencing Change
Hebrews 11:1 tells us that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." To experience miraculous change, we must first believe that God is able to do what He has promised. It is through faith that we unlock the doors to the miraculous.

b) Expectation Prepares the Way for the Miraculous 
When we expect God to move, we align ourselves with His promises. Psalm 62:5 says, "My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him." October is a month to raise our expectations and believe that God is ready to perform a miracle in our lives.

Biblical Example: The Woman with the Issue of Blood (Mark 5:25-34) 
This woman had suffered for twelve years, but when she reached out to Jesus in faith, her life was changed instantly. Her miraculous healing was a direct result of her faith and expectation. This October, as you reach out in faith, expect God to change your story.

4. MIRACULOUS CHANGE IS OFTEN SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED 

a) God Moves in His Own Time 
God’s timing is perfect, and when He moves, change often comes suddenly. Isaiah 60:22 says, "When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen." Miraculous change does not always come gradually; sometimes it happens in an instant.

b) God’s Miraculous Interventions Are Always Beyond Human Comprehension
Ephesians 3:20 declares that God is able to do "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." He specialises in surprising His children with miraculous outcomes that far exceed their expectations.

Biblical Example: The Crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-22) 
The Israelites faced an impossible situation at the Red Sea. Yet, God made a way where there was no way, changing their fate in an instant and delivering them from the hands of the Egyptians. This is the kind of miraculous change that God will bring to your life this month.

CONCLUSION 
October is a month of miraculous change. No matter what you are facing, God is able to bring a sudden turnaround. As you enter this month, keep your faith alive, your expectations high, and your heart open to the miraculous. Just as He did for Joseph, Job, the woman with the issue of blood, and the Israelites, God is ready to turn your situation around and bring you into a new season of divine change.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, I thank You for the promise of miraculous change in my life this month. 

2. Lord, I believe that this is my season of divine turnaround. 

3. Father, open doors of miraculous change in every area of my life. 

4. Lord, bring an end to every stagnation and delay in my life. 

5. Father, I declare that my story is changing for the better this October. 

6. Lord, give me the grace to trust in Your timing for my breakthrough. 

7. Father, let miraculous change locate my family this month. 

8. Lord, release the power for a sudden turnaround in my finances, health, and ministry. 

9. Father, I receive the faith to expect great things from You this month. 

10. Lord, let Your miraculous power transform every difficult situation in my life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS 
1. I declare that this October, you will experience miraculous change! 

2. Every long-standing problem in your life is receiving divine intervention. 

3. The God who turned Joseph’s story around will turn your story into a testimony. 

4. Your season of waiting is over; step into your season of miraculous change! 

5. I decree that doors of favour and breakthrough are opening for you this month. 

6. Your mourning is turning into dancing, and your tears are turning into joy. 

7. I declare that every impossibility in your life is becoming possible. 

8. This October, you will testify of the Lord’s goodness in your life.

9. Your faith will produce supernatural results this month.
 
10. God will do more than you ask or imagine, in Jesus’ name!

MY MONTH OF UNUSUAL LAUGHTER

TITLE: MY MONTH OF UNUSUAL LAUGHTER
 
By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text:  Psalm 126:1-2 
Supporting Texts: Genesis 21:1-6, Job 8:21, Luke 1:57-58

INTRODUCTION 
There are seasons in life when sorrow, frustration, and disappointment seem to dominate. However, God specializes in turning mourning into dancing and sorrow into joy. This is what is meant by "unusual laughter"—a deep, joyful response that comes from experiencing God's miraculous intervention. Unusual laughter is not just ordinary joy; it is a divine breakthrough that causes you to laugh at the impossibilities that once held you back.

In this month, God is ready to cause laughter to spring forth from your heart, regardless of the difficulties you may have faced. He is the God of turnaround, and just as He did for Sarah, Job, and others in the Bible, He will do the same for you.

1. THE GOD WHO TURNS CAPTIVITY INTO LAUGHTER 

a) God’s Ability to Reverse Difficult Situations
Psalm 126:1-2 speaks of a time when God turned the captivity of Zion. Their response was overwhelming joy and laughter. God is a specialist in reversing difficult circumstances and bringing joy out of sorrow.

b) Laughter as a Sign of Victory 
When God steps into a situation, He brings such dramatic change that all you can do is laugh. What was once impossible becomes possible, and what once caused pain now brings joy. Job 8:21 says, "He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy."

Biblical Example: Sarah’s Laughter (Genesis 21:1-6) 
Sarah waited for years to have a child, and when Isaac was born, she said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.” God turned Sarah's barrenness into fruitfulness, causing her to laugh with joy.

2. UNUSUAL LAUGHTER COMES AFTER A SEASON OF TESTING 

a) A Season of Waiting and Tears
Before the breakthrough of unusual laughter, there is often a season of waiting, trials, or disappointment. This is where faith is tested, but it’s important to hold on because joy is on the way. Psalm 30:5 reminds us, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”

b) Divine Timing Brings Unusual Laughter
God's timing is perfect. While it may seem delayed, His plan is always right on time. The unusual laughter that comes from God arrives at the moment when all hope seems lost. Luke 1:57-58 speaks of Elizabeth, who also bore a child after a long wait. Her neighbours rejoiced with her, as God had shown great mercy.

Biblical Example: The Birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:57-58) 
Elizabeth, like Sarah, had waited long for a child. When John was born, her neighbours and relatives shared in her joy. Her season of barrenness was turned into a season of rejoicing, demonstrating how God’s timing can turn sorrow into laughter.

3. LAUGHTER IN THE MIDST OF ENEMIES 

a) God Will Cause Your Enemies to Be Confounded
When God brings unusual laughter into your life, it not only lifts your spirit but also confounds those who opposed you. Those who mocked or doubted you will be silenced by the visible evidence of God’s blessing.

b) Your Victory Will Provoke Laughter
God’s intervention brings about such a dramatic change that even those who witnessed your trials will marvel. Like the lame man at the temple gate who leapt and praised God after his healing (Acts 3:1-10), your victory will cause others to rejoice with you.

Biblical Example: The Four Lepers Who Brought Good News (2 Kings 7:3-9) 
The four lepers were outcasts, but God used them to bring the good news of deliverance and abundance to a starving nation. Their transformation from death to life brought laughter and rejoicing throughout the land, showing how God can use the least likely to bring forth breakthrough.

4. EXPECTING UNUSUAL LAUGHTER 

a) Maintain an Attitude of Faith
Faith is essential when believing for unusual laughter. Even when circumstances seem dire, hold fast to God’s promises. Hebrews 11:11 says that Sarah received the power to conceive because she considered God faithful.

b) Declare Your Laughter Before It Happens
There is power in your words. Begin to speak and declare that this is your month of unusual laughter. Confession brings possession. Just as Abraham and Sarah had to hold on to the promise of Isaac, we must also declare our victory before it manifests.

Biblical Example: Job’s Restoration (Job 42:10-17) 
Job lost everything but held on to his faith in God. In the end, God restored him and gave him double for his trouble. Job’s story turned from sorrow to laughter, illustrating that God’s restoration brings joy.

CONCLUSION 
This month, expect God to move in ways that will cause you to laugh. Just as He turned the captivity of Zion, gave Sarah a child, and restored Job’s fortunes, He is more than able to turn your situation around. Prepare for unusual laughter as you step into a season of divine intervention, where sorrow is replaced with joy, and impossibilities are transformed into testimonies.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Father, I thank You for turning my sorrow into joy. 

2. Lord, cause me to experience unusual laughter this month in every area of my life. 

3. Father, I declare that this is my month of breakthrough and divine turnaround. 

4. Lord, silence every enemy that has mocked my situation. 

5. Father, let Your perfect timing bring joy into my life. 

6. Lord, I receive the grace to hold on to Your promises until my joy is full. 

7. Father, remove every barrier standing between me and my breakthrough.

8. Lord, fill my mouth with laughter and my lips with shouts of joy. 

9. Father, let my testimony bring rejoicing to all who hear it. 

10. Lord, I declare that unusual laughter will follow every trial in my life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS 
1. I declare that this is your month of unusual laughter! 

2. Every sorrow in your life is turning to joy in Jesus' name. 

3. I decree that the enemies who mocked you will witness your victory. 

4. You will laugh where you once wept, for God is turning your situation around. 

5. Uncommon testimonies are coming your way this month! 

6. Every delay is being turned into divine acceleration for your breakthrough. 

7. I declare that your laughter will be heard by all those around you. 

8. Every barrier to your breakthrough is coming down in Jesus' name. 

9. Your joy will be full, and your heart will overflow with thanksgiving. 

10. God will fill your mouth with laughter and your life with testimonies!

MONTH OF TOTAL DOMINION

TITLE: MONTH OF TOTAL DOMINION

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 8:6 
Supporting Texts: Genesis 1:26-28, Luke 10:19, Romans 6:14

INTRODUCTION 
Dominion is a key aspect of God's original plan for humanity. From the beginning, God gave man authority and control over all creation. He bestowed upon us the mandate to rule and reign over the works of His hands. However, due to the fall of man, this dominion was compromised. But through Christ, total dominion is restored, and we are called to walk in this authority.

This month, God is calling us to step into total dominion—dominion over sin, over circumstances, over the powers of darkness, and in every area of life. The time to reign has come, and it is important to understand how to activate and walk in this dominion.

---

1. UNDERSTANDING DOMINION 

a) Dominion is God’s Mandate for Mankind 
From the beginning, God created us to have dominion. Genesis 1:26-28 says, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth...” This is a divine mandate to govern the earth under God's authority.

b) Dominion Through Christ 
Sin interrupted humanity’s authority, but Jesus came to restore our dominion. In Luke 10:19, Jesus said, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.” This means through Christ, we are empowered to walk in authority over all opposition.

Biblical Example: Adam’s Lost Dominion Restored by Jesus 
While Adam’s disobedience led to the loss of dominion, Jesus’ obedience through His death and resurrection restored the power and authority that was lost (Romans 5:17). This restoration allows believers to reign in life through Christ.

2. AREAS OF TOTAL DOMINION 

a) Dominion Over Sin
Sin no longer has dominion over us. Romans 6:14 declares, "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace." Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can live above sin and overcome every temptation.

b) Dominion Over Circumstances 
We are called to exercise dominion over the situations and challenges of life. The Bible says that all things are under our feet (Psalm 8:6). No matter what we face—be it financial, health, or relational issues—God has given us the authority to overcome.

Biblical Example: Joshua’s Victory Over Jericho (Joshua 6:1-20) 
Joshua and the Israelites exercised dominion over the strong city of Jericho by following God’s instructions. Despite the fortified walls, they took control of the city through faith and obedience, demonstrating God's power to give victory over circumstances.

3. WALKING IN TOTAL DOMINION 

a) Knowing Your Identity in Christ 
To walk in dominion, you must first know who you are in Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” Your new identity in Christ gives you access to the authority and dominion that comes from Him.

b) Exercising Faith and Boldness
Faith is a key to walking in dominion. Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that without faith, it is impossible to please God. We must believe that God has given us the authority to trample upon every power of the enemy and act boldly in that authority.

Biblical Example: David’s Dominion Over Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-50) 
David exercised dominion over Goliath not because of his physical strength but because of his confidence in God’s power. He declared victory over the giant before the battle even began. This shows the importance of speaking and acting in faith to take dominion.

4. ACTIVATING DOMINION THROUGH PRAYER AND DECLARATION 

a) The Power of Declarations 
Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that the power of life and death is in the tongue. To walk in dominion, we must speak what God says about us. As we declare the Word of God, we align ourselves with His will and activate His power in our lives.

b) Praying with Authority 
Prayer is one of the most powerful tools to exercise dominion. In Matthew 18:18, Jesus said, "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." This means we have the authority to bind the works of the enemy and release God's will into our situations.

Biblical Example: Elijah’s Prayer for Rain (1 Kings 18:41-45)
Elijah exercised dominion through prayer when he called for rain after a long drought. His prayer of faith brought a shift in the natural environment, demonstrating the power of prayer to change situations.

CONCLUSION 
Total dominion is God's will for every believer. It is not reserved for a few but is a divine mandate for all who are in Christ. As we step into this month of total dominion, let us remember that we have been equipped with the authority to overcome every obstacle, every challenge, and every opposition. Let us walk boldly in the authority Christ has given us and experience His dominion in every area of our lives.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Father, thank You for giving me dominion over the works of Your hands. 

2. Lord, help me to walk in the authority You have given me through Christ. 

3. Father, I take dominion over every circumstance in my life that is contrary to Your will.

MONTH OF DIVINE INCREASE

TITLE: MONTH OF DIVINE INCREASE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 115:14-15 
Supporting Texts: Deuteronomy 1:11, 2 Corinthians 9:10, Isaiah 54:2-3

INTRODUCTION 
Divine increase refers to God’s supernatural multiplication and expansion in all aspects of life. It is the manifestation of God's blessing that causes us to grow, prosper, and thrive beyond natural limitations. As we step into the month of divine increase, it is important to understand the principles that trigger this divine multiplication. God delights in the prosperity of His children and desires to bring increase in all areas of our lives, be it spiritually, financially, or relationally.

1. UNDERSTANDING DIVINE INCREASE 

a) The Nature of God is to Increase 
God is a God of increase. From the beginning of creation, He commanded growth and multiplication. In Genesis 1:28, God blessed Adam and Eve and commanded them to "be fruitful and multiply." This shows that God’s desire for us is to increase and expand in every area of life.

b) Increase Beyond Human Effort
Divine increase is not limited to human effort but comes as a result of God's supernatural hand at work. In Deuteronomy 1:11, Moses declared a blessing over the Israelites, saying, "May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times and bless you as He has promised!" This blessing is a reflection of God’s limitless ability to multiply beyond what we can imagine or achieve by ourselves.

Biblical Example: The Feeding of the Five Thousand (Matthew 14:17-21) 
Jesus took five loaves and two fish and multiplied them to feed over five thousand people. This was a supernatural increase that defied human reasoning and limitations.

2. KEYS TO EXPERIENCING DIVINE INCREASE 

a) Obedience to God’s Word 
One key to experiencing divine increase is obedience. When we obey God’s instructions, we position ourselves for His blessings. In Deuteronomy 28:1-2, God promises to bless and increase those who diligently obey His commands.

b) Faith and Expectation 
Faith plays a crucial role in receiving divine increase. We must have faith that God can and will multiply what we place in His hands. Just as the widow of Zarephath trusted God’s word through Elijah, resulting in her oil and flour not running out (1 Kings 17:13-16), so too must we trust God for increase.

Biblical Example: Isaac's Increase in Famine (Genesis 26:12-14) 
Isaac sowed in a land of famine and reaped a hundredfold because of God’s blessing. His faith and obedience to stay in the land as God instructed positioned him for divine increase.

3. AREAS OF DIVINE INCREASE 

a) Spiritual Increase 
God desires that we grow spiritually, increasing in wisdom, faith, and knowledge of His Word. Colossians 1:10 encourages us to "grow in the knowledge of God." As we seek Him, our spiritual capacity will expand, allowing us to experience deeper dimensions of His presence.

b) Financial and Material Increase
God is also concerned with our material well-being. He promises to bless the work of our hands and cause us to prosper (Deuteronomy 28:12). Divine increase in our finances enables us to fulfil God's purpose and become a blessing to others.

Biblical Example: The Early Church's Financial Growth (Acts 4:34-35) 
The early Church experienced divine increase to the point where there was no one in need among them. This financial increase allowed the believers to share their resources and meet the needs of the community.

4. ENLARGING YOUR CAPACITY FOR INCREASE 

a) Preparation for Expansion 
To experience divine increase, we must prepare ourselves for the blessing. In Isaiah 54:2, God instructs His people to "enlarge the place of your tent" in preparation for the increase He is about to bring. This means we must enlarge our capacity, vision, and faith to receive more from God.

b) Declaring God’s Promises 
The power of our confession plays a role in receiving divine increase. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. As we declare God’s promises of increase, we activate the supernatural in our lives.

Biblical Example: Jabez’s Prayer for Increase (1 Chronicles 4:9-10) 
Jabez prayed for God to bless him and enlarge his territory, and God granted his request. This shows the power of asking and declaring for increase in faith.

CONCLUSION 
As we enter this month of divine increase, we must remember that God's plan is to prosper us, not just in one area but in every aspect of our lives. Whether it is spiritual growth, financial prosperity, or relational success, God’s desire is to see us thrive and multiply. Let us trust Him for supernatural increase, obey His Word, and prepare ourselves to receive the overflow of His blessings.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Father, I thank You for this month of divine increase. 

2. Lord, enlarge my capacity to receive more of Your blessings.
 
3. Father, I declare supernatural increase in every area of my life. 

4. Lord, give me the grace to obey Your instructions that lead to increase. 

5. Father, break every limitation that hinders my progress and expansion. 

6. Lord, I decree a financial breakthrough in my life this month. 

7. Father, increase my faith and trust in Your ability to multiply what I have. 

8. Lord, I ask for spiritual growth and a deeper relationship with You. 

9. Father, bless the work of my hands and cause me to prosper. 

10. Lord, let me experience supernatural favour and open doors this month.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS 
1. I declare that this is your month of supernatural increase! 

2. The Lord will enlarge your territory and bless you abundantly. 

3. Every seed you have sown will produce a hundredfold harvest. 

4. I declare that no limitation will hinder your progress this month.
 
5. Your finances, business, and career will experience divine multiplication. 

6. The grace for spiritual growth and maturity is released upon you. 

7. I prophesy that every closed door is opened in the name of Jesus. 

8. You will experience breakthroughs in areas where you have struggled. 

9. Your life will be a testimony of God’s increase and provision. 

10. I declare that you are walking into a season of overflow and abundance.

THE PERSON AND THE PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST

THE PERSON AND THE PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST 

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text:  Philippians 3:10 
Supporting Texts: John 1:1, 14; Colossians 2:9; Proverbs 11:24-25; Galatians 6:7; Luke 6:38; James 2:14-17

INTRODUCTION

The Christian walk is not only about knowing Christ personally but also about following His teachings and principles. Many believers focus solely on prayer and spirituality, neglecting the practical application of biblical principles like giving, stewardship, and kindness. On the other hand, some may follow these principles without a relationship with Christ, missing the essence of salvation. This sermon explores the balance between knowing the **Person of Christ** and obeying the **Principles of Christ** and how this balance impacts our spiritual and material lives.

1. KNOWING THE PERSON OF CHRIST

**a) Jesus as Fully God and Fully Man** 
John 1:1, 14 - "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us."
Colossians 2:9 – "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form."

To know the Person of Christ is to acknowledge Him as the eternal God who came in the flesh to redeem humanity. It is through His person that we find salvation and eternal life. Jesus is not merely a great teacher; He is the Saviour, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

b) A Personal Relationship with Christ
Philippians 3:10– "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection."

Paul emphasizes the need to know Christ personally. Salvation is found in a relationship with Jesus, not just in following religious rules or traditions. We must seek to grow deeper in intimacy with Him daily, learning to walk in His presence and power.

2. OBEYING THE PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST

a) The Principle of Giving
Proverbs 11:24-25 – "One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."
Luke 6:38 – "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap."

The principles of God work universally, regardless of whether one is a believer or not. The principle of giving brings about material and spiritual prosperity. Those who are generous experience abundance, while those who withhold struggle with lack. Unbelievers often prosper because they apply this principle, even though they may not know the Person of Christ.

Biblical Example
- The widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:8-16) gave her last meal to the prophet Elijah and experienced miraculous provision during a time of famine. Her act of giving opened the door to God's supernatural supply.

b) The Principle of Sowing and Reaping
Galatians 6:7 – "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows."

This principle operates in every area of life—what we sow, we will reap. If we sow kindness, generosity, and diligence, we will reap blessings. If we fail to follow God’s principles, even as prayer warriors, we may not experience the full blessings God has in store for us.

**c) Faith Without Works** 
- **James 2:14-17** – "What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds?...Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

Prayer is essential, but it must be accompanied by action. Some believers pray fervently but neglect to act on God's principles. Faith and works must go hand in hand. We need both spiritual discipline and practical obedience to experience holistic blessings.

Biblical Example:
- The parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30) shows that those who faithfully stewarded what they were given were rewarded, while the servant who did nothing lost everything. The principle here is that God rewards both faith and responsible action.

3. WHY BOTH THE PERSON AND THE PRINCIPLES ARE IMPORTANT

a) The Person of Christ Brings Salvation 
John 14:6 – "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Without knowing Christ, we cannot receive salvation. Salvation is found in Him alone. Obeying principles without knowing Christ may bring temporary success, but eternal life can only be obtained through a relationship with Him.

b) The Principles of Christ Bring Blessings 
James 1:25 – "But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do."

Knowing Christ opens the door to eternal life, but following His principles allows us to live a blessed and fruitful life here on earth. When we combine both, we experience the fullness of God’s will for our lives.

CONCLUSION

To live a victorious Christian life, we must embrace both the **Person of Christ** and the **Principles of Christ**. Knowing Christ personally is foundational for our salvation, while obeying His principles ensures that we walk in the fullness of His blessings. Let us strive for both, seeking intimacy with Christ and aligning our lives with His teachings, so that we may prosper spiritually and materially.

PRAYER POINTS

1. Lord, help me to know You deeply and personally.

2. Father, teach me to follow Your principles and walk in Your blessings.

3. I reject the spirit of poverty and disobedience in my life.

4. Lord, empower me to combine faith with action.

5. Let my giving open doors of abundance for me in Jesus' name.

6. Lord, prosper the work of my hands as I obey Your principles.

7. I declare that I will sow good seeds and reap bountiful harvests.

8. Father, increase my generosity and help me to give cheerfully.

9. Lord, let my relationship with You grow stronger every day.

10. I declare that I will walk in both spiritual and material prosperity.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS

1. I declare that you will know Christ intimately and experience His power.

2. Your life will reflect the principles of Christ, and you will prosper on every side.

3. As you give, abundance will flow into your life.

4. You will not just be a hearer but a doer of the Word.

5. Every area of your life where you have sown good seeds, you will reap a great harvest.

6. I decree that poverty will have no place in your life as you walk in obedience.

7. Your faith will not be barren but will produce great results.

8. Every financial struggle in your life will be overturned by God’s supernatural provision.

9. You are blessed in your going out and coming in, as you follow Christ and His principles.

10. I declare that you will flourish in all areas of life—spiritually, materially, and emotionally.

WHO SHALL DWELL IN GOD'S PRESENCE

TITLE: WHO SHALL DWELL IN GOD'S PRESENCE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 15 
Supporting Texts: Psalm 24:3-4, Isaiah 33:14-16, 1 Peter 1:15-16, Matthew 5:8

INTRODUCTION 
Psalm 15 poses an important question: "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?" It is a question that goes to the heart of what it means to live a life that pleases God and to dwell continually in His presence. The tabernacle and holy hill represent places of intimate fellowship with God, and this Psalm outlines the characteristics of those who are qualified to dwell in His presence. In a world filled with distractions and temptations, this message explores how we can live in a manner that draws us closer to God and sustains our fellowship with Him.

1. WALKING IN INTEGRITY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS 

a) The Call to Integrity 
Psalm 15:2 says that the one who may dwell in God’s presence "walks uprightly." Integrity is essential for those who desire to have a close relationship with God. It means living with honesty, transparency, and moral uprightness, both in public and private. Integrity is doing what is right, even when no one is watching.

b) Practicing Righteousness 
Righteousness is not just a matter of belief but also of action. The one who dwells in God's presence practices righteousness, living in accordance with God's standards. This involves not only avoiding sin but actively doing what is just and right. 1 Peter 1:15-16 reminds us to "be holy in all manner of conversation," for God Himself is holy.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s Integrity (Genesis 39:6-12) 
Joseph, though faced with temptation in Potiphar's house, maintained his integrity by fleeing from sin. His uprightness, even in the face of persecution, eventually led to his elevation and deeper relationship with God. His life demonstrates that integrity invites God’s favour and presence.

2. SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE 

a) Truthfulness and Honesty 
Psalm 15:2 also emphasizes that the one who may dwell in God’s presence "speaks the truth in his heart." God values truthfulness, both in our speech and in our hearts. To dwell in God's presence, we must reject deceit and falsehood. Lying lips are an abomination to God (Proverbs 12:22), but He delights in those who speak truth.

b) Speaking the Truth in Love 
Truth must be spoken in love (Ephesians 4:15). Even when correcting or confronting others, our words should build up and not tear down. Gossip, slander, and harsh words have no place in the life of someone who seeks to dwell with God.

Biblical Example: Nathan Confronting David (2 Samuel 12:1-7) 
The prophet Nathan spoke the truth to King David concerning his sin with Bathsheba. He did so with wisdom, speaking in love but without compromising the truth. As a result, David repented, and his relationship with God was restored. Speaking truth in love leads to healing and restoration.

3. DOING NO EVIL TO OTHERS 

a) Loving Your Neighbour 
Psalm 15:3 declares, "He that does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbour." The person who desires to dwell in God’s presence must treat others with love and respect. Jesus summarized the law by saying we must love our neighbour as ourselves (Matthew 22:39). Those who harm others, whether by word or action, cannot experience the fullness of God's presence.

b) Rejecting Gossip and Malice
Gossip, slander, and malicious behaviour are destructive forces that drive away the presence of God. The one who desires God’s fellowship must refrain from spreading false information, speaking negatively about others, or engaging in harmful behaviour.

Biblical Example: The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) 
The Good Samaritan, unlike the priest and the Levite, showed compassion and kindness to a stranger in need. His actions reflected a heart that sought to do good and not harm. As a result, he embodied the love of God, demonstrating what it means to love your neighbour.

4. HONOURING THE GODLY AND REJECTING WICKEDNESS 

a) Valuing the Righteous
Psalm 15:4 teaches that those who dwell in God's presence "honour them that fear the Lord." This means valuing and respecting those who live righteously and aligning ourselves with godly influences. Fellowship with those who honour God helps us remain in His presence.

b) Rejecting the Influence of the Wicked 
At the same time, those who seek God's presence must not be influenced by or align themselves with evil. Psalm 1:1-2 warns us not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly, but to delight in the law of the Lord. Our associations must reflect our commitment to God's standards.

Biblical Example: Daniel and His Friends (Daniel 3:16-18) 
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow to King Nebuchadnezzar’s idol, choosing instead to honour God. Their faithfulness, even under the threat of death, resulted in God’s presence being manifested in the fiery furnace. Their story reminds us that honouring God brings us into His presence.

5. KEEPING YOUR WORD AND TRUSTING GOD 

a) Faithfulness to Commitments 
Psalm 15:4 also emphasizes keeping promises, even when it is difficult. Those who desire to dwell in God's presence must be people of their word. When we make commitments, whether to God or to others, we must be faithful to follow through, even if it costs us something.

b) Trusting God’s Promises 
God Himself is faithful to His word, and we are called to trust Him fully. Psalm 15:5 says that those who will dwell with God do not put their trust in money or bribes, but in God alone. Our reliance must be on God's provision, not worldly means.

Biblical Example: Hannah’s Faithfulness to Her Vow (1 Samuel 1:9-11, 24-28) 
Hannah made a vow to God that if He gave her a son, she would dedicate him to the Lord. When God answered her prayer, she kept her vow and presented Samuel at the temple. Her faithfulness to her word and trust in God's timing brought her into a deeper fellowship with Him.

CONCLUSION 
To dwell in God's presence is the greatest privilege for any believer. Psalm 15 outlines the characteristics of those who may experience this close fellowship with God—integrity, truthfulness, love for others, honouring the righteous, rejecting evil, and faithfulness to commitments. As we strive to live according to these principles, we draw closer to God and enjoy the fullness of His presence. Let us examine our hearts and lives, ensuring that we live in a way that allows us to abide in the holy hill of the Lord.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Lord, help me to walk in integrity and righteousness, reflecting Your character in my life. 

2. Father, give me the grace to speak the truth in love, and let my words always be pleasing to You.
 
3. Lord, remove every form of malice, gossip, and evil speaking from my life. 

4. Father, help me to love my neighbour as myself and do no harm to anyone. 

5. Lord, give me the wisdom to honour those who fear You and reject wickedness in every form. 

6. Father, help me to be faithful to my commitments, even when it is difficult. 

7. Lord, strengthen my faith in Your promises, knowing that You are faithful and unchanging. 

8. Father, let Your presence dwell with me continually, as I seek to live a life that pleases You. 

9. Lord, cleanse my heart and make me fit to dwell in Your holy hill. 

10. Father, let my life be a reflection of Your holiness and righteousness, drawing others to You.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS 
1. You will walk in integrity and righteousness, and the presence of God will dwell with you always. 

2. Every deceitful and malicious word spoken against you will be silenced by the power of God. 

3. The grace to speak the truth in love will rest upon you, and your words will bring healing and restoration. 

4. You will be known as one who does no harm, and your love for others will open doors of divine favour. 

5. You will honour the godly and reject wickedness, and God will honour you in return. 

6. Every commitment you make will be fulfilled with God’s strength, and your faithfulness will be rewarded. 

7. You will not be moved by worldly pressures, but your trust will be in God alone. 

8. The Lord will surround you with His presence, and you will dwell in His holy hill all the days of your life. 

9. Your life will shine as a beacon of righteousness, drawing others into God’s presence. 

10. You will live a life that is pleasing to God, and His presence will never depart from you.

START WITH THE LITTLE YOU HAVE

TITLE: START WITH THE LITTLE YOU HAVE
 
By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 2 Kings 4:1-7 
Supporting Texts: Matthew 14:17-21, Luke 16:10, Zechariah 4:10

INTRODUCTION 
Many times, we feel inadequate because we do not seem to have enough resources, talent, or ability to accomplish what God has placed in our hearts. However, God has a pattern of using what seems small and insignificant to bring about mighty results. In 2 Kings 4:1-7, we see a widow who was in desperate need, but through the little she had—a small jar of oil—God brought an overflow of provision. This sermon explores how God multiplies the little we have when we step out in faith, trust Him, and take action.

1. RECOGNIZE WHAT YOU HAVE 

a) See the Potential in What Seems Small 
Often, we focus on what we lack and overlook what we have. The widow initially only saw the small jar of oil, not realizing its potential. It’s easy to despise small beginnings or see them as insignificant, but God can use the little we have to accomplish great things. Zechariah 4:10 says, "Do not despise the day of small beginnings."

b) Faithfulness with the Little 
In Luke 16:10, Jesus said, "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much." God is looking for faithfulness, even in the small things. When we honour and use what we have, God opens doors for greater opportunities and increases.

Biblical Example: The Feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14:17-21) 
When Jesus was faced with feeding 5,000 people, the disciples only had five loaves and two fish. While it seemed too small, Jesus took it, blessed it, and multiplied it to feed the multitude. What seemed insufficient became more than enough in the hands of Jesus.

2. TAKE ACTION WITH WHAT YOU HAVE 

a) Step Out in Faith
The widow in 2 Kings 4 obeyed the instructions of Elisha. Even though the oil seemed too little, she began to pour it out in faith. Faith requires action, even when what we have seems small. When we step out in faith, trusting God to work, He multiplies our efforts.

b) God Multiplies What You Use
God blesses what is placed in His hands, but He can only multiply what is used. The widow poured out her oil into jars, and as long as there were jars to fill, the oil continued to flow. The miracle of multiplication happened as she acted. Similarly, God can multiply our gifts, talents, and resources when we use them for His glory.

Biblical Example: The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) 
In this parable, the servant who was given five talents and the one with two talents used them and saw multiplication. However, the servant who did nothing with his one talent lost it. The key is to use what you have, trusting that God will bring the increase.

3. TRUST GOD FOR THE INCREASE 

a) God Is the Source of Increase
The widow’s little jar of oil did not multiply by her own power, but by God’s divine intervention. We must remember that God is the source of all increase. He is able to take our little and do exceedingly, abundantly more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).

b) Stay in Obedience to God’s Word
God’s multiplication comes when we walk in obedience. The widow followed Elisha’s instructions precisely, and as a result, her debt was paid, and she had more than enough to live on. Obedience positions us to receive God’s blessings and provision.

Biblical Example: The Widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:8-16) 
During a famine, Elijah asked the widow of Zarephath to make him a small cake from her last bit of flour and oil. Though it seemed too little, she obeyed, and her resources were supernaturally multiplied, lasting throughout the famine.

4. SMALL BEGINNINGS LEAD TO GREAT BLESSINGS 

a) Do Not Despise Small Beginnings 
Great things often start small. Whether it is a small business, a small ministry, or a small amount of resources, God is able to bring increase and turn it into something great. The little you have today may be the seed for a great harvest tomorrow.

b) Trust God’s Timing 
Sometimes, it takes time to see the full fruit of what we have started. Like the widow who gathered many jars before the oil started flowing, we need to prepare and be patient as God brings the increase in His time.

Biblical Example: David’s Small Beginning as a Shepherd (1 Samuel 16:11-13) 
David was a young shepherd, seemingly insignificant, but God saw his heart and anointed him to be king. His small beginning as a shepherd prepared him for the greatness God had in store for him. In the same way, God uses small beginnings to prepare us for greater things.

CONCLUSION 
No matter how small or insignificant what you have may seem, God can use it for great exploits. Like the widow in 2 Kings 4, recognize what you have, take action in faith, and trust God for the increase. God delights in turning small beginnings into great blessings. Do not despise the little you have, for in God’s hands, it can be multiplied beyond measure.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Lord, help me to recognize the potential in what You have given me. 

2. Father, give me the faith to act on what I have, trusting You for increase. 

3. Lord, remove every spirit of fear and doubt that hinders me from using my gifts. 

4. Father, multiply the little I have and turn it into an overflow. 

5. Lord, help me to be obedient to Your Word in all things. 

6. Father, bless the works of my hands and let them produce great results. 

7. Lord, teach me not to despise small beginnings but to trust Your process. 

8. Father, position me for supernatural increase and breakthroughs. 

9. Lord, let my faith and obedience bring about generational blessings. 

10. Father, open my eyes to the opportunities You have placed before me.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS 
1. I declare that the little you have will be multiplied in God’s hands.
 
2. You will not despise small beginnings, for God is preparing you for great things. 

3. Every gift, talent, and resource you possess will be used mightily for God’s glory. 

4. The season of supernatural increase is upon you, and you will not lack. 

5. The Lord will turn your little into an overflow, and you will testify of His abundance. 

6. You will step out in faith and see the hand of God multiply your efforts. 

7. Your obedience will open doors for divine provision and breakthroughs. 

8. God will use what seems insignificant to bring about great blessings in your life. 

9. The oil of grace will never run dry in your life; it will continue to flow. 

10. In this season, you will experience divine multiplication and favour in Jesus' name.

Go forth with confidence, knowing that the little you have is enough for God to work mighty miracles!

REDEEMING THE TIME BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL

TITLE: REDEEMING THE TIME BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Ephesians 5:15-16 
Supporting Texts: Colossians 4:5, Psalm 90:12, Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

INTRODUCTION 
The Bible warns us that we live in evil days, and as believers, we are called to redeem the time. In Ephesians 5:16, Paul urges Christians to "make the most of every opportunity," recognizing that time is a precious commodity and the days are filled with challenges, temptations, and spiritual battles. Redeeming the time means living with intentionality, purpose, and urgency, knowing that our time on earth is short, and we must fulfill God’s will for our lives.

This sermon will explore the significance of redeeming the time, how to effectively use our time for God’s glory, and the dangers of wasted opportunities.

1. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO REDEEM THE TIME? 

a) Living with a Sense of Urgency
To redeem the time means to live with an understanding that time is limited and must be used wisely. Every day presents opportunities to serve God, grow in faith, and impact the world for Christ. We cannot afford to waste time on trivial pursuits or sinful distractions, but instead, we must prioritize the things that matter eternally. Psalm 90:12 says, "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

b) Making the Most of Every Opportunity
Redeeming the time also means seizing every opportunity that comes our way to do good, share the gospel, and fulfill God’s purpose. The world is full of evil, and there is much work to be done. Colossians 4:5 advises us to "walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time."

Biblical Example: Nehemiah's Focus on Rebuilding the Walls (Nehemiah 4:1-6) 
Despite opposition and threats, Nehemiah and his team remained focused on their task to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. They worked diligently, redeeming the time to complete the work in record time. Nehemiah did not allow distractions or fear to derail the mission God had given him.

2. WHY MUST WE REDEEM THE TIME? 

a) The Days are Evil 
Ephesians 5:16 emphasizes that the days are evil, meaning that we live in a world filled with sin, corruption, and opposition to God's truth. As the end times draw near, evil and darkness will continue to increase (2 Timothy 3:1-5). This is why it is crucial for believers to walk circumspectly, not allowing the evil of the world to influence or derail them.

b) Time is a Limited Resource 
Time is one of the most valuable resources we have, but it is finite. Once time is gone, we can never get it back. James 4:14 reminds us that life is "a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." Because of this, we must use our time wisely and live purposefully for God.

Biblical Example: The Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) 
In the parable of the ten virgins, five were wise and prepared for the coming of the bridegroom, while the other five were foolish and wasted time. When the bridegroom arrived, only those who had redeemed the time were able to enter the banquet. This parable teaches the importance of being ready and not squandering the time we are given.

3. HOW TO REDEEM THE TIME
 
a) Prioritize Your Relationship with God
The first step to redeeming the time is to prioritize your relationship with God. This means making time for prayer, Bible study, and worship. Jesus taught in Matthew 6:33, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." When we put God first, everything else falls into place.

b) Live with Purpose and Focus 
To redeem the time, we must live purposefully, avoiding distractions and focusing on God’s call for our lives. Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us that "to everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." Knowing your purpose in life helps you focus on what really matters and avoid time-wasting activities.

c) Avoid Procrastination and Laziness 
Procrastination is one of the greatest enemies of redeeming the time. Proverbs 6:9-11 warns against laziness, saying, "How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?" We must be diligent and proactive in doing God’s work and fulfilling our responsibilities.

Biblical Example: Apostle Paul’s Urgency in Ministry (Acts 20:24) 
Paul was a man who understood the importance of redeeming the time. He lived with a sense of urgency, declaring, "I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me." Paul worked tirelessly, traveling and preaching the gospel, knowing that his time on earth was short.

4. THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT REDEEMING THE TIME 

a) Missed Opportunities 
When we fail to redeem the time, we miss opportunities to serve God, grow in our faith, and impact others for Christ. Once a moment is gone, we cannot get it back. Revelation 3:11 warns, "Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown." We must be vigilant to not miss divine opportunities.

b) Spiritual Decline and Stagnation 
Failure to redeem the time can lead to spiritual stagnation. When we waste time on worldly pursuits and neglect our spiritual responsibilities, we hinder our growth in Christ. Ephesians 4:14 warns against being immature and "tossed to and fro by the waves." Redeeming the time helps us stay grounded in our faith.

Biblical Example: Lot’s Wife (Genesis 19:15-26) 
When Lot and his family were warned to flee Sodom and Gomorrah, they were given specific instructions not to look back. Lot’s wife, however, disobeyed and looked back, leading to her destruction. This story illustrates the consequences of not redeeming the time and failing to heed God’s instructions.

CONCLUSION 
We are living in perilous times, and the urgency to redeem the time has never been greater. As believers, we must be intentional about how we use our time, focusing on fulfilling God's will and advancing His kingdom. Let us seek God daily, live purposefully, and seize every opportunity to do good, knowing that the days are evil.

DON'T COME TO GOD EMPTY-HANDED

TITLE: DON'T COME TO GOD EMPTY-HANDED

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Deuteronomy 16:16-17 
Supporting Texts: Proverbs 3:9-10, 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, Malachi 3:10

INTRODUCTION 
In the Scriptures, God commands His people not to come before Him empty-handed. This principle reflects God’s desire for His children to approach Him with a heart of gratitude, faith, and worship through giving. Whether in the form of tithes, offerings, or our time and talents, coming to God with something in hand shows our acknowledgment of His Lordship and provision in our lives. This message explores why we should never approach God empty-handed, the blessings that come from giving, and how it reflects our relationship with God.

1. THE PRINCIPLE OF GIVING TO GOD 

a) Honour the Lord with Your Substance
Proverbs 3:9-10 tells us to honour the Lord with our wealth and the firstfruits of all our crops. Giving is a way of honouring God, showing that we trust Him as our provider. When we come before God with our offerings, we are declaring that He is the source of all that we have.

b) God Requires Sacrifice, Not Emptiness 
In Deuteronomy 16:16-17, God commanded that no one should appear before Him empty-handed. This principle is seen throughout Scripture, where God’s people are instructed to bring offerings as an act of worship and acknowledgment of His blessings. Bringing something to God is a reflection of our faith and recognition of His sovereignty.

Biblical Example: Abel's Offering (Genesis 4:3-5) 
Abel brought the firstborn of his flock, giving the best to God, while Cain brought an offering from the fruit of the ground. Abel’s offering was accepted because it reflected a heart of faith and sacrifice. God is pleased when we bring our best to Him, just as Abel did.

2. WHY YOU MUST NOT COME EMPTY-HANDED 

a) Gratitude for God's Blessings 
Everything we have is from God. Coming to Him with an offering is an expression of gratitude for His provisions. Whether it’s our finances, time, or talents, when we give back to God, we are acknowledging that He has blessed us first. We must recognize that God blesses us so we can be a blessing.

b) Faith and Trust in God's Provision 
When you come to God with something in your hand, it shows your faith in His ability to provide. It takes faith to give, especially when you have little. However, God honors that faith by multiplying what you give. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 reminds us that whoever sows generously will also reap generously.

Biblical Example: The Widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:8-16) 
Despite her dire circumstances, the widow of Zarephath gave the little she had to the prophet Elijah. Her obedience and faith resulted in God miraculously multiplying her resources, ensuring she and her son did not go hungry. Her story reminds us that even when we have little, God can multiply our seed when we give in faith.

3. THE BLESSINGS OF COMING WITH AN OFFERING 

a) Divine Multiplication 
God multiplies what we bring to Him. Just as Jesus multiplied the five loaves and two fish brought by the boy (John 6:9-13), God takes the little we bring and turns it into abundance. When we offer what we have to God, He blesses it beyond what we could imagine.

b) Open Heavens and Overflowing Blessings 
Malachi 3:10 assures us that when we bring our tithes and offerings, God opens the windows of heaven and pours out blessings that we will not have room enough to receive. Our giving releases divine favor and provision over our lives. When we refuse to come empty-handed, God responds with supernatural blessings.

Biblical Example: Solomon’s Sacrifice (1 Kings 3:4-13) 
When Solomon became king, he offered a thousand burnt offerings to God. That night, God appeared to him and asked, “What do you want?” Solomon’s extravagant offering unlocked an unprecedented blessing, and God gave him wisdom, wealth, and honor. Giving to God unlocks divine encounters and breakthroughs.

4. PRACTICAL WAYS TO GIVE TO GOD 

a) Offerings and Tithes 
Bring your offerings and tithes regularly to God’s house. This is a foundational way to honor God and support His work. Malachi 3:10 reminds us that giving our tithes and offerings brings blessings and rebukes the devourer in our lives.

b) Giving of Your Time and Talents
Apart from financial giving, God also desires that we give our time and talents. Serving in His house, using our skills for His kingdom, and dedicating time to minister to others are ways we can give back to God.

Biblical Example: The Macedonian Churches (2 Corinthians 8:1-5) 
The churches in Macedonia gave generously, even in their poverty, not only financially but also by dedicating themselves to the Lord’s work. Their willingness to give sacrificially was a testimony of their love for God and trust in His provision.

5. THE CONSEQUENCES OF COMING EMPTY-HANDED 

a) Missed Opportunities for Blessing
When we come to God empty-handed, we miss out on opportunities for divine blessing and multiplication. In Luke 6:38, Jesus said, “Give, and it will be given to you.” Holding back what we should give robs us of the harvest that God has in store for us.

b) Hindering God’s Work 
When we refuse to give, we hinder the advancement of God’s work on earth. Haggai 1:9-11 speaks of a time when the people neglected the temple, and as a result, their harvests were poor. When we prioritize God’s kingdom, He ensures that all our needs are met.

Biblical Example: Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5:1-11) 
Ananias and Sapphira held back part of their offering and lied about it to the apostles. Their actions resulted in severe judgment. While God does not demand what we do not have, He expects honesty, faith, and obedience in our giving.

CONCLUSION 
God is a giver, and He expects us to mirror His character by giving back to Him from the blessings He has bestowed upon us. Coming to God with something in your hand is a reflection of your faith, gratitude, and recognition of His Lordship. Whether it is through tithes, offerings, or service, God promises that when you give, you will not go empty. As you make it a principle to never come before God empty-handed, you will experience the abundant blessings that only He can provide.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Lord, I thank You for the blessings You have given me. 

2. Father, help me to always give willingly and joyfully. 

3. Lord, I reject the spirit of stinginess and withholding from You. 

4. Father, open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings as I give. 

5. Lord, multiply the seed I have sown and increase my harvest. 

6. Father, give me a heart that honours You with my substance. 

7. Lord, let my giving unlock divine favour and open doors in my life. 

8. Father, as I give, let me experience supernatural multiplication in every area. 

9. Lord, help me to give my time, talents, and resources for Your glory. 

10. Father, let my giving bring me closer to Your divine purpose for my life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS 
1. I declare that as you give to God, you will not lack any good thing. 

2. The Lord will open the windows of heaven over your life and pour out abundant blessings. 

3. Every seed you sow will multiply in your hands, and you will reap a bountiful harvest. 

4. The favour of God will rest upon you as you honour Him with your substance. 

5. Your giving will unlock divine encounters and breakthroughs. 

6. As you bring your offerings, the Lord will rebuke every devourer in your life. 

7. You will never come to God empty-handed, and you will always experience overflow. 

8. God will multiply every little you give and turn it into abundance. 

9. You will receive divine favour in the sight of men as you faithfully give to God. 

10. The Lord will cause you to prosper in all areas of your life as you obey His principles of giving.

VICTORY OVER FOUNDATIONAL BATTLES

TITLE: VICTORY OVER FOUNDATIONAL BATTLES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 11:3 
Supporting Texts: 1 Corinthians 3:11, Judges 6:25-27, Ezekiel 18:2-4, Isaiah 54:17

INTRODUCTION 
Foundational battles are spiritual challenges that stem from the roots or beginnings of an individual’s life—often linked to one’s family, upbringing, or background. The Bible says, "If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3). These battles can take many forms, from generational curses to inherited patterns of failure, poverty, or sin. However, through Christ, we have the authority and power to gain victory over every foundational issue that has hindered our progress.

1. UNDERSTANDING FOUNDATIONAL BATTLES 

a) What Are Foundational Battles?
Foundational battles are spiritual struggles rooted in the origins of a person’s life. These issues can be traced to family lineage, where curses, covenants, or ungodly practices have been passed down. These battles manifest as recurring problems that seem impossible to overcome, affecting relationships, finances, health, and spiritual growth.

b) Biblical Foundation and Its Importance 
1 Corinthians 3:11 tells us that no other foundation can be laid except Jesus Christ. If the foundation of a person’s life is faulty due to ancestral practices, it must be addressed. Ezekiel 18:2-4 speaks of the consequences of the fathers’ sins being passed down, but it also declares that each individual is responsible for their own life and can break free through repentance and a new foundation in Christ.

Biblical Example: Gideon (Judges 6:25-27) 
Before God could use Gideon to deliver Israel, he had to destroy the altar of Baal that his father had built. This was a foundational issue in his family that needed to be dealt with before Gideon could walk in his calling. God instructed Gideon to tear down the altar and build a new one to the Lord, symbolising a break from the past and the beginning of a new, godly foundation.

2. SIGNS OF FOUNDATIONAL BATTLES 

a) Repeated Negative Patterns** 
One of the most significant signs of foundational battles is repeated cycles of problems such as poverty, sickness, failure at the edge of success, and marital breakdowns. These issues may occur across multiple generations, indicating a spiritual root that needs to be addressed.

b) Limitations and Stagnation
Many people face invisible barriers that prevent them from moving forward in life. These barriers can be traced to foundational issues that need to be broken through prayer and spiritual warfare. An individual might work hard but never see lasting success due to these battles.

Biblical Example: The Israelites (Exodus 1:11-14) 
The Israelites were in bondage in Egypt for generations, and despite their hard labour, they were oppressed and limited by their foundational issue of being slaves. It wasn’t until God intervened and delivered them that they were able to break free and enter the Promised Land.

3. STEPS TO GAINING VICTORY OVER FOUNDATIONAL BATTLES 

a) Identify and Renounce Foundational Issues
The first step to victory is recognising the foundational issues in your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any ancestral patterns or covenants that may be influencing you. Once identified, renounce them in prayer, declaring your freedom through the blood of Jesus.

b) Repentance and Deliverance 
Repentance is crucial for deliverance from foundational battles. Leviticus 26:40-42 instructs that if we confess the sins of our ancestors and turn back to God, He will remember His covenant with us. Through repentance, you can break the legal rights the enemy has over your life and walk in freedom.

Biblical Example: Jabez (1 Chronicles 4:9-10) 
Jabez’s name meant "pain," reflecting a foundational issue in his life that brought hardship. However, Jabez cried out to God for deliverance, asking Him to bless and enlarge his territory. God granted his request, breaking the curse and giving him victory over his foundational battle.

4. ENGAGING IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE 

a) Break Foundational Curses by the Blood of Jesus
Colossians 2:14-15 tells us that Jesus has cancelled every written code and ordinance that stood against us by nailing it to the cross. By the power of the blood of Jesus, we can cancel every curse, covenant, or legal accusation that stems from our foundation. Declare your victory over every foundational battle by standing on the finished work of Christ.

b) Use the Word of God as a Weapon
Ephesians 6:17 describes the Word of God as the sword of the Spirit. Use the promises of God to dismantle every stronghold and negative foundation in your life. Speak the Word over your situation and watch as God brings you deliverance.

Biblical Example: Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:1-5) 
Hezekiah was given a prophecy of death, but he engaged in spiritual warfare through prayer and reminded God of his faithfulness. God heard his cry and added 15 more years to his life, showing that prayer and the Word can change the outcome of foundational battles.

5. ESTABLISHING A NEW FOUNDATION IN CHRIST 

a) Build Your Life on the Rock (Christ)
Jesus is the solid foundation that cannot be shaken. After breaking free from foundational battles, it is essential to rebuild your life on Christ (Matthew 7:24-25). By living a life of obedience to His Word, you establish a new foundation that will lead to success and stability.

b) Walk in Your Covenant Blessings 
As a believer, you are a partaker of the covenant blessings of Abraham (Galatians 3:13-14). Walk in the knowledge that you are no longer bound by the past but have been set free to enjoy the blessings of God. Claim these blessings through prayer, confession, and living a life that honours God.

Biblical Example: Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) 
When God called Abraham, He broke him free from his past and established a new covenant with him. God promised to bless him and make him a great nation. This shows that once foundational battles are overcome, God’s covenant blessings follow.

CONCLUSION 
Foundational battles are real, but through Christ, we have victory over them. By identifying and renouncing these issues, engaging in repentance and spiritual warfare, and establishing a new foundation in Christ, you can experience freedom and walk in the blessings of God. Just as Gideon, Jabez, and Hezekiah gained victory over their foundational battles, so too can you through faith, prayer, and the power of the blood of Jesus.

1. Father, I repent of any sins of my ancestors that are affecting my life. 

2. By the blood of Jesus, I break every foundational curse over my family and life. 

3. Lord, reveal to me any hidden ancestral strongholds that need to be broken.
