MY MONTH OF UNSTOPPABLE PROGRESS

Title: MY MONTH OF UNSTOPPABLE PROGRESS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Philippians 1:6 
Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:19, Genesis 26:12-14, Proverbs 4:18

INTRODUCTION 
Unstoppable progress means moving forward despite obstacles and challenges. It’s the kind of progress that no man, situation, or enemy can halt. In life, we all desire to make progress in our spiritual walk, career, family, and ministry. The good news is that God has ordained His children to experience progress that is unstoppable, where barriers are broken, and divine favour opens new doors.

This month is your season for unstoppable progress. As long as God is involved, nothing can hold back your advancement. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that "He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion." God's purpose in your life will not be delayed or disrupted. This is the time to walk in confidence, knowing that your progress is assured in Christ.

1. PROGRESS IS GOD'S PLAN FOR YOU 

a) God’s Will is Progress, Not Stagnation
The will of God for His children is that we keep moving forward. Progress is a kingdom principle, and God delights in seeing us grow and expand in every area of life. Proverbs 4:18 says, "The path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day." This means our lives are meant to experience continuous advancement and improvement.

b) Spiritual and Physical Progress 
Unstoppable progress applies to both spiritual and physical areas. As we grow in our relationship with God, we experience spiritual maturity. This in turn leads to progress in our daily lives, whether in career, business, family, or ministry. In Genesis 26:12-14, Isaac experienced significant progress even in a time of famine because the hand of God was upon him.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s Unstoppable Progress 
Despite being sold into slavery and imprisoned, Joseph experienced unstoppable progress. No matter how many setbacks he faced, God continued to move him forward until he became the prime minister of Egypt. This shows that God's purpose for your life cannot be stopped by any opposition or challenge.

2. OVERCOMING OBSTACLES TO PROGRESS 

a) Challenges Are Temporary 
Progress doesn’t come without challenges, but the good news is that every challenge is temporary. Isaiah 43:19 declares, "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." God is able to turn impossible situations around and cause you to progress even in difficult times.

b) Persistence in Faith
Unstoppable progress requires persistence. We must keep pushing forward, even when the enemy tries to throw obstacles in our path. Hebrews 10:36 reminds us, "For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise." Your progress is certain when you continue to walk in faith, trusting God to see you through.

Biblical Example: Nehemiah’s Unstoppable Progress 
When Nehemiah set out to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, he faced severe opposition from enemies. Yet, he persisted in faith and prayer, and the walls were completed despite the challenges. This shows that when God is with you, no opposition can stop your progress.

3. KEYS TO EXPERIENCING UNSTOPPABLE PROGRESS 

a) Stay Connected to God 
True progress comes from God. To experience unstoppable progress, we must stay connected to the source of all success—God. John 15:5 says, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." Continuous connection to God through prayer, worship, and obedience will guarantee your progress.

b) Walk in Obedience
Obedience is key to experiencing divine progress. Every time you obey God’s instructions, you position yourself for breakthrough and advancement. In Genesis 12:1-4, when Abraham obeyed God’s call to leave his homeland, he began to experience unstoppable progress, and his descendants inherited the Promised Land.

Biblical Example: Peter's Obedience Leading to Progress (Luke 5:1-7) 
Peter had toiled all night without catching anything, but at Jesus’ command, he cast his net again and experienced a miraculous catch of fish. Obedience to God’s word turned Peter's situation around and led to significant progress. This teaches us that obedience brings results, and through it, we experience unstoppable progress.

4. THE RESULTS OF UNSTOPPABLE PROGRESS 

a) Multiplication and Fruitfulness
Unstoppable progress leads to multiplication and fruitfulness. When God’s hand is upon you, your efforts are multiplied, and you begin to bear more fruit. Genesis 26:12-14 tells us how Isaac sowed and reaped a hundredfold because the Lord blessed him. Fruitfulness is the evidence of divine progress.

b) Greater Influence and Impact 
Unstoppable progress also increases your influence and impact in the kingdom of God. As you continue to move forward, God expands your territory and gives you a greater platform to fulfil His purpose. In Acts 2:47, as the early church continued in obedience, God added to their numbers daily, and their influence spread across regions.

Biblical Example:  Solomon's Unstoppable Progress (1 Kings 10:23-25) 
Solomon's wisdom and wealth continued to grow, and kings and leaders from all over the world came to hear his wisdom. His progress in wisdom and wealth was unstoppable because God's favour was upon him. This shows that divine favour can lead to unprecedented progress and impact.

CONCLUSION 
This month is your month of unstoppable progress. God has ordained that you will break barriers and experience advancement in every area of your life. No opposition or challenge can stop the work that God is doing in you. As you stay connected to God, walk in obedience, and persist in faith, you will see unprecedented progress that brings glory to God.

PRAYER POINTS 
1. Father, I thank You for Your plan of unstoppable progress in my life. 

2. Lord, let every obstacle to my progress be removed in Jesus' name. 

3. Father, give me the grace to stay connected to You and follow Your lead. 

4. Lord, help me to walk in obedience and align myself with Your will. 

5. Father, I decree unstoppable progress over my career, family, and ministry. 

6. Lord, make me fruitful and multiply the works of my hands.
 
7. Father, expand my influence and impact in this season. 

8. Lord, I declare that no opposition will stop my progress in Jesus' name. 

9. Father, let Your favour propel me into new levels of success.

Supporting Texts:  Deuteronomy 15:13-14, Joel 2:25-26, Psalm 126:1-3

INTRODUCTION 
The story of Israel’s deliverance from Egypt is not just a historical account but a powerful message of God’s provision, restoration, and abundance. In Exodus 3:20-22, God declared to Moses that the Israelites would not leave Egypt empty-handed but would be given favour in the eyes of the Egyptians. This promise reveals a divine principle: When God delivers His people, He ensures that they leave with more than they had before. This sermon explores the promise of abundance and favour, declaring that you shall not go empty in any area of your life.

1. GOD’S PROMISE OF RESTORATION AND ABUNDANCE 

a) God Restores What Has Been Lost 
For over 400 years, the Israelites had served as slaves in Egypt, suffering and labouring without proper reward. But when God decided to bring them out, He made sure they would not leave empty. He declared that they would receive silver, gold, and clothing from their oppressors. This demonstrates that God not only delivers His people but also restores what they have lost in the process. Joel 2:25-26 assures us that God will restore the years the locust has eaten.

b) Divine Favour Unlocks Abundance
In Exodus 3:21, God said, "I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians." It was God’s favour that caused their enemies to willingly give them treasures. Favour from God opens doors that human effort cannot. It is through divine favour that you will not go empty in your season of breakthrough.

Biblical Example: The Israelites Leaving Egypt (Exodus 12:35-36) 
When the time came for the Israelites to leave, the Egyptians gave them whatever they asked for—silver, gold, and clothing. This was a fulfilment of God’s promise. It is a powerful reminder that when God is involved, even your enemies will contribute to your success and prosperity.

2. YOU SHALL NOT GO EMPTY IN TIMES OF TRANSITION 

a) God Provides in Every Season
In times of transition, whether it’s a new job, a new season in life, or a spiritual shift, the fear of lack often creeps in. But God reassures His people that they will not go empty. Deuteronomy 15:13-14 commands that when a servant is set free, they must not be sent away empty but provided for generously. God ensures that His children are equipped for every new phase of life.

b) Abundance in the Midst of Challenge 
Even in times of hardship, God’s provision is sure. The Israelites were in bondage for many years, but their departure from Egypt marked a season of abundance. Your current challenge is not the end; God has a plan to bless you beyond your expectations. You will not leave this season empty-handed.

Biblical Example:  Ruth and Naomi (Ruth 1:20-22, Ruth 4:13-17) 
Naomi returned to Bethlehem bitter and empty after losing her husband and sons. However, through Ruth’s marriage to Boaz, Naomi’s life was restored. She went from empty to full, as her family line was restored and blessed. In the same way, God will turn your emptiness into fullness.

3. THE POWER OF DIVINE RESTORATION 

a) Fullness After Emptiness
God specializes in bringing fullness where there once was emptiness. Psalm 126:1-3 speaks of the joy of the Israelites when the Lord restored their fortunes. God is not just interested in delivering you from your past but in blessing you abundantly. Whatever you have lost in the process of your trials, God promises to restore in double measure.

b) Your Season of Overflow
You may have experienced seasons of barrenness, but God declares that you shall not remain empty. In fact, He promises an overflow. As seen in Deuteronomy 28:12, "The Lord will open to you His good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands." You will not just receive enough; you will experience overflow.

Biblical Example: The Widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17:8-16) 
The widow of Zarephath had very little—just a handful of flour and a little oil. Yet, through her obedience to Elijah’s word, God multiplied what she had, and her jar of flour and jug of oil did not run dry. This is a testimony of how God takes the little we have and brings abundance. Even in what seems like a season of lack, God will ensure that you do not go empty.

4. WHAT TO DO TO NOT GO EMPTY 

a) Seek God in Times of Need
Hezekiah sought God when he faced death (Isaiah 38:1-5), and God extended his life. When you seek God in times of need, He will not only provide but will also bless you abundantly. You must cry out to God and trust Him for His provision in your situation.

b) Exercise Faith and Obedience
It takes faith to believe that God will fill your emptiness. Just as the widow of Zarephath trusted the word of the Lord, you must exercise faith even when circumstances seem bleak. Obedience to God’s instructions is key to unlocking His favour and provision.

Biblical Example: Peter and the Great Catch of Fish (Luke 5:1-7) 
Peter had fished all night and caught nothing, but at Jesus' word, he let down his nets again. The result was an overwhelming catch of fish. Peter's obedience, despite his previous failure, led to a miraculous provision. In the same way, as you obey God’s word, He will fill your life with abundance.

CONCLUSION 
God’s promise to His people is that they shall not go empty. Just as the Israelites left Egypt with silver, gold, and clothing, God will cause you to leave every challenging season of your life with more than you had before. The key is to trust God, seek Him in prayer, and exercise faith in His promises. God is a God of restoration, and He will ensure that you do not go empty.

2. Father, restore everything that has been lost in my life and give me double. 

3. Lord, grant me divine favour in the sight of men that will bring abundance into my life.

But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified."
