Title: BREAKING THE YOKE OF BARRENNESS

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 10:27
Supporting Texts: Deuteronomy 7:14; 2 Kings 4:16-17

INTRODUCTION:
Barrenness is not only the inability to bear children but can also symbolise unfruitfulness in any area of life. God’s plan for His children is fruitfulness, and He has the power to break every yoke of barrenness. Through His anointing, yokes are destroyed, and lives are transformed.

1. GOD’S PROMISE OF FRUITFULNESS

a) God’s covenant of fruitfulness
In Deuteronomy 7:14, God promises that none of His people shall be barren.

b) Fruitfulness is a blessing of obedience
Obedience to God attracts His blessings, including fruitfulness (Deuteronomy 28:1-4).

c) God’s will for His creation
From the beginning, God commanded man to be fruitful (Genesis 1:28).

d) Barrenness is not God’s plan
Barrenness opposes God’s purpose for multiplication and fruitfulness.

Biblical Example: Sarah (Genesis 21:1-2)
God fulfilled His promise of fruitfulness by giving Sarah a son in her old age.

2. THE YOKE OF BARRENNESS

a) Understanding the yoke
A yoke is a burden or limitation that hinders progress. Barrenness is a spiritual yoke.

b) Causes of barrenness
Sin, demonic oppression, and generational curses can cause barrenness.

c) God’s power over yokes
Isaiah 10:27 assures us that the anointing breaks every yoke.

d) The role of faith
Faith activates God’s power to destroy barrenness (Hebrews 11:11).

Biblical Example: Hannah (1 Samuel 1:19-20)
Through fervent prayer and faith, Hannah’s barrenness was broken.

3. KEYS TO BREAKING THE YOKE OF BARRENNESS

a) Faith in God’s promises
Believe in His Word concerning fruitfulness (Mark 11:24).

b) Persistent prayer
Like Hannah, fervent prayer is essential for breakthrough (James 5:16).

c) Prophetic declarations
Declare God’s Word over your life (Job 22:28).

d) Seek divine intervention
Trust in God’s supernatural power to intervene (Psalm 34:17).

Biblical Example: The Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4:16-17)
Her faith and hospitality brought about her miracle of childbirth.

CONCLUSION:
Barrenness is not the end of the story for a child of God. Through faith, prayer, and the power of God, every yoke of barrenness can be broken. Trust in His promises and walk in obedience, knowing that God’s plan for you is fruitfulness.
