INTRODUCTION
God’s remembrance is more than memory; it is a deliberate act that produces visible results in your life. When He remembers, obstacles vanish, opportunities appear, and your life begins to align with His purpose. Divine remembrance transforms ordinary seasons into extraordinary testimonies.

The lives of Zechariah, Elizabeth, Hannah, Sarah, Rachel, Joseph, Mordecai, and others reveal patterns that you can identify today. Recognising these patterns helps you respond in faith, prepare for manifestation, and position yourself for God’s timing.

This teaching uncovers more signs that confirm God has remembered you. By recognising these, you can anticipate breakthroughs, supernatural favour, accelerated destiny, and divine alignment for your life.

Divine remembrance is always accompanied by signs that are visible, tangible, and unmistakable. When God decides to remember you, He orchestrates situations, people, and events to confirm His intervention. These signs are confirmations that heaven has activated a new season in your life.

SIGNS THAT GOD HAS REMEMBERED YOU

SIGNS THAT GOD HAS REMEMBERED YOU

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Luke 1:5-25

Key Verse: “And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.” — Genesis 21:1

Supporting Texts: Genesis 30:22; Psalm 115:12; Isaiah 49:15-16; Psalm 102:13; 1 Samuel 1:19-20

Description: This teaching unveils the undeniable signs that appear when God turns His attention toward a person and releases long-awaited answers.

INTRODUCTION:
When God remembers a person, it is not because He forgot them; rather, it is the moment when He decides to manifest what He had ordained long before. Divine remembrance is a visitation from God that turns long-standing prayers into living testimonies. It is the shift of seasons that brings an end to stagnation, reproach, delay, and silence.

The stories of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Hannah, Sarah, and Rachel all illustrate that God’s remembrance comes with undeniable proofs: proofs that transform sorrow into joy, silence into celebration, and impossibility into glorious fulfilment. Divine remembrance is always intentional, timely, and redemptive.

This sermon reveals the clear indicators that a person has entered the season of divine remembrance. When these signs begin to unfold, nothing can stop your elevation, promotion, or manifestation.

1. OPEN HEAVENS AND DIVINE VISITATION
When God remembers a person, the heavens open and divine encounters begin to take place. God begins to send angelic help, divine direction, and supernatural messages that shift a destiny forward.

a) A season of divine encountersLuke 1:11
When Zechariah was remembered, an angel appeared. God announces new seasons through encounters.

b) Fear turns into divine assuranceLuke 1:13
The first word was “Fear not.” Divine remembrance removes fear and brings supernatural peace.

c) Long-standing prayers suddenly gain attentionRevelation 8:3-4
God begins to act on prayers you have prayed for years; nothing prayed in faith is ever lost.

d) God speaks with clarity and directionIsaiah 30:21
In seasons of remembrance, God begins to guide your steps and confirm His will unmistakably.

Biblical Example:  Abraham encountered God repeatedly before Isaac came, and each encounter brought the promise closer until it manifested (Genesis 18:1-10).

2. SUPERNATURAL LIFTING AND REMOVAL OF REPROACH
One of the clearest signs that God has remembered you is the breaking of reproach, shame, and longstanding limitations. God replaces your tears with honour.

a) Reproach is taken awayLuke 1:25
Elizabeth said, “The Lord hath taken away my reproach.” Divine remembrance removes shame publicly.

b) Closed chapters suddenly openPsalm 126:1–2
When God remembers you, forgotten doors swing open.

c) Honour replaces years of humiliationIsaiah 61:7
Where there was shame, God brings double honour.

d) Long-term delays come to an end1 Samuel 1:19-20
Hannah conceived after years of delay; divine remembrance puts an end to waiting.

Biblical Example:  Joseph — after years in prison, God remembered him and lifted him from the dungeon to the palace in one day (Genesis 41:14-16).

3. SUPERNATURAL FRUITFULNESS AND PERFORMANCE OF PROPHECY
When God remembers a person, what was barren becomes fruitful and what was empty begins to produce results.

a) Barriers to fruitfulness are brokenGenesis 30:22
And God remembered Rachel…” Her womb, previously closed, opened immediately.

b) Prophecies begin to manifestLuke 1:20
Once remembrance comes, there will be “performance” of the things spoken by the Lord.

c) Human limitations are overruledRomans 4:19-21
Age, background, and impossibility cannot stop the move of God.

d) Results multiply beyond expectationEphesians 3:20
God does not just answer; He exceeds expectations.

Biblical Example:  Sarah — God remembered her and fulfilled the promise when it was naturally impossible (Genesis 21:1-7).

4. DIVINE ALIGNMENT AND SUPERNATURAL FAVOUR
Divine remembrance often comes with favour, alignment, and accelerated destiny pathways. God begins to orchestrate events that position you for manifestation.

a) Favour begins to speak for youPsalm 102:13
The set time to favour you has come.

b) Destiny connections and helpers appearIsaiah 49:23
Kings and queens arise to help you when God remembers you.

c) Divine instructions lead to breakthroughs2 Kings 4:3-7
God begins to give clear strategies for abundance and victory.

d) Acceleration replaces stagnationAmos 9:13
Things begin to happen fast; testimonies come in quick succession.

Biblical Example:  Mordecai — in one night, the king remembered him, and favour moved him from the gate to the throne (Esther 6:1-11).

CONCLUSION:
When God remembers a person, everything changes slowly at first, then suddenly. You step into a season of divine encounters, open heavens, favour, fruitfulness, answered prayers, and the removal of long-standing shame. Delays collapse, impossibilities bow, and prophecies begin to manifest with power and precision.

The same God who remembered Zechariah, Elizabeth, Hannah, Sarah, Rachel, Joseph, and Mordecai will remember you. Your life is entering a new chapter. Your tears, prayers, sacrifices, and faith have been recorded in heaven. Your season of remembrance has come, and nothing will stop what God has begun.

GOD HAS REMEMBERED YOU

GOD HAS REMEMBERED YOU

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Luke 1:5-25

Key Verse: “Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son.” — Luke 1:13

Supporting Texts: Genesis 30:22; Psalm 115:12; Isaiah 49:15-16; 1 Samuel 1:19-20; Malachi 3:16

Description: This teaching reveals the mystery of divine remembrance and how God turns long-standing delays into glorious testimonies.

INTRODUCTION
The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth is a classic demonstration of what happens when heaven decides to remember a person. Though they were described as righteous and blameless before God, they lived with a painful and prolonged delay; years of unanswered prayer, years of mockery, and years of waiting for a child. Yet their waiting was not in vain, because with God, no delay is wasted. When the fullness of time came, He visited them with an unforgettable miracle.

To be remembered by God does not mean God once forgot you. It means He decides to activate what He has already ordained for your life. Divine remembrance refers to the moment when God brings your name, your tears, your service, and your prayers into manifestation. It is the season when heaven speaks on your behalf and long-awaited promises begin to unfold.

Every child of God has a season when grace steps in, destiny shifts, and the years of silence are overturned. When God remembers you, no barrier can stand, no delay can continue, and no impossibility can remain. This message assures you that your season of divine remembrance has come.

1. GOD REMEMBERS THE RIGHTEOUS EVEN IN SEASONS OF DELAY
Even when it seems nothing is changing, God is watching over the righteous. Your labour, faithfulness, and tears are never forgotten. Divine remembrance comes at God’s appointed time.

a) God Pays Attention to Righteous Living — Luke 1:6
Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous before God. God sees your integrity, your sacrifice, and every silent act of obedience.

b) Delay Does Not Mean God Has Forgotten — Psalm 115:12
Though their barrenness lasted many years, God had not forgotten. Heaven remembers every prayer and stores it up.

c) Divine Timing Overrules Human Limitations — Romans 4:19-21
Even old age could not stop God’s plan. His timing is greater than biological, social, or medical limitations.

d) Faithfulness in Service Provokes Remembrance — Hebrews 6:10
Zechariah continued serving despite unanswered prayers. Service positions you for divine remembrance.

Biblical Example:  Hannah prayed, served, and waited for years, but when God remembered her, her barrenness ended, and Samuel became a generational prophet (1 Samuel 1:19-20).

2. WHEN GOD REMEMBERS YOU, HE SENDS A DIVINE VISITATION
When God decides to remember you, He does not move quietly, He moves with power, visitation, and supernatural intervention.

a) Divine Remembrance Brings Angelic Intervention — Luke 1:11
The angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah. God often sends supernatural help when remembrance is activated.

b) God Removes Fear and Releases Assurance — Luke 1:13
The first thing the angel said was, “Fear not.” God replaces fear with prophetic assurance.

c) Your Long-standing Prayers Are Never Lost — Revelation 8:3-4
The angel referenced an old prayer they prayed decades ago. God stores prayers until the right moment.

d) God’s Answers Come with Precision and Purpose — Jeremiah 1:5
The child to be born was not ordinary. Divine answers come with assignment and destiny.

Biblical Example:  Rachel was remembered after years of delay, and God opened her womb at His appointed time (Genesis 30:22).

3. GOD’S REMEMBRANCE BRINGS A TESTIMONY GREATER THAN WHAT YOU PRAYED FOR
God does not just answer prayers; He exceeds expectations. His remembrance produces testimonies that outgrow your request.

a) God Gives More Than What You Asked For — Luke 1:15-17
Zechariah and Elizabeth wanted a child; God gave a prophet and a forerunner of Christ.

b) Your Testimony Will Birth Joy for Others — Luke 1:14
Many rejoiced at John’s birth. True divine remembrance affects more than one person.

c) Your Testimony Becomes a Prophetic Sign — Luke 1:16-17
John’s birth signalled a new season in Israel. Some miracles are generational markers.

d) God Turns Impossible Situations into Glory Platforms — Luke 1:18-20
Their old age became proof of God’s power and timing.

Biblical Example:  Sarah received Isaac after years of barrenness, and her laughter became a generational testimony (Genesis 21:6-7).

4. DIVINE REMEMBRANCE REQUIRES BELIEF AND ALIGNMENT WITH GOD’S WORD
Divine remembrance is activated by faith. Even when God moves, man must align with Him.

a) Unbelief Can Delay or Hinder Manifestation — Luke 1:18-20
Zechariah doubted the angel’s message. Faith is required for the performance of prophecy.

b) God’s Promise Is Stronger Than Human Weakness — Luke 1:20
Despite Zechariah’s unbelief, God still fulfilled His word. God’s faithfulness prevails.

c) Prophetic Words Must Be Received with Faith — Luke 1:34-38
Mary believed the prophecy immediately. The heart’s posture determines manifestation.

d) Divine Silence Sometimes Protects Your Miracle — Luke 1:20
God shut Zechariah’s mouth so he wouldn’t speak doubt. Sometimes God blocks negative voices around you.

Biblical Example: The Shunammite Woman received a prophecy from Elisha, believed it, and carried a miracle child (2 Kings 4:16-17).

CONCLUSION
The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth mirrors many believers today: faithful, prayerful, dedicated, yet living with long-standing unanswered prayers. But divine remembrance changes everything. When heaven decides to remember a person, delays break, impossibilities bow, and testimonies emerge overnight.

God has not forgotten you. Your prayers have been heard, and your season of remembrance has arrived. The God who remembered Zechariah, Elizabeth, Hannah, and Rachel will remember you. Expect divine visitation, supernatural restoration, and an overflow of testimonies.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Father, thank You for remembering me and my household in this season.
2. O Lord, let every long-standing prayer in my life receive divine attention now.
3. My Father, visit me the way You visited Zechariah and Elizabeth.
4. I break every delay and stagnation resisting my destiny.
5. O Lord, give me a testimony greater than my expectations.
6. Every negative voice speaking against my miracle—be silenced now.
7. Holy Spirit, align my heart with faith for manifestation.
8. O Lord, let my testimony bring joy to many around me.
9. Father, open every closed chapter of my life and restore my joy.
10. O Lord, let my season of remembrance manifest speedily.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS
1. You shall be remembered in this season of divine visitation.
2. Your long-awaited prayers shall receive answers from heaven.
3. Every delay in your life is broken permanently.
4. God will grant you a testimony that surpasses your requests.
5. Your miracle shall bring joy to many around you.
6. You shall not miss your divine visitation.
7. Your mouth shall testify of God’s goodness.
8. What was impossible before shall become possible for you now.
9. Every reproach in your life is rolled away forever.
10. You shall carry a generational blessing like John the Baptist.

MY EAGLE WILL RISE AGAIN

MY EAGLE WILL RISE AGAIN

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Isaiah 40:28-31

Key Verse: “But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” — Isaiah 40:31

Supporting Texts: Micah 7:8; Job 14:7-9; Psalm 3:3; Psalm 37:23-24; Hosea 6:1-3

Description: This message reveals God's power to restore, renew, and cause every weary or fallen destiny to rise again like the eagle.

INTRODUCTION
Life’s battles, disappointments, delays, and spiritual storms can weaken even the strongest believer. There are seasons when the pressures of life weigh heavily on the wings of our faith, causing what once soared to suddenly lose height. Many today feel like their “eagle”:  their vision, strength, favour, or destiny has grown weak or fallen. But the Word of the Lord assures us that no matter what has brought us down, God has the power to cause our eagle to rise again.

The eagle is a symbol of renewal, strength, resilience, and unstoppable ascension. When an eagle grows weary, it retreats to a place of renewal, sheds its old feathers, and emerges stronger with renewed wings. This powerful imagery reflects what God does for His children. No matter how low life has pushed you, God can renew your strength, heal your wounds, restore your glory, and launch you into higher realms.

Every believer goes through seasons of rising and falling, but the promise of God guarantees that falling is not the end. Your story will not end in defeat. God is committed to raising you again, restoring what was lost, and lifting you above every limitation. Your eagle shall rise again, by the power of the Almighty.

1. GOD IS THE RESTORER OF LOST STRENGTH
When strength fails and hope weakens, God steps in as the One who renews, restores, and empowers. He never abandons His own in weakness.

a) God Renews the WearyIsaiah 40:29
He gives power to the faint and strength to the powerless. When your own strength is gone, God becomes your strength.

b) God Heals Broken WingsPsalm 147:3
The Lord binds wounds and restores broken hearts. Whatever has crushed your spirit can be healed by His touch.

c) God Revives Fading VisionHabakkuk 2:3
Delays cannot destroy divine vision. God restores clarity and brings visions back to life.

d) God Lifts the FallenPsalm 37:24
Even if you fall, you shall not be utterly cast down. God will uphold you with His hand and lift you again.

Biblical Example: Samson lost his strength, but as his hair began to grow again, God restored his power and gave him a final victory that was greater than all before (Judges 16:22-30).

2. GOD RAISES HIS PEOPLE AFTER EVERY FALL
Falling does not end your destiny. God specialises in rewriting stories and lifting His children from the lowest places.

a) Falling Is Not the EndMicah 7:8
Though you fall, you will rise. Darkness cannot bury a destiny that God has determined to lift.

b) God Sets the Steps of His ChildrenPsalm 37:23
Even when missteps occur, God orders the journey and ensures restoration.

c) God Delivers From the PitPsalm 40:2
He brings His people out of deep pits and sets their feet on solid ground.

d) God Restores Lost GloryJob 22:23
He rebuilds broken destinies and restores dignity and honour to His people.

Biblical Example: Peter fell by denying Jesus, but Jesus restored him and raised him as a mighty apostle who shook nations (John 21:15-19; Acts 2:14-41).

3. GOD GIVES NEW WINGS FOR A HIGHER RISE
When God restores, He restores in a greater dimension. He does not just return what was lost — He empowers for higher heights.

a) Renewal Comes Through Waiting on GodIsaiah 40:31
Waiting is not wasting. It is the process where God re-feathers your wings for a greater rise.

b) New Strength for New HeightsPsalm 84:7
God moves His people from strength to strength. Your next rise will be stronger than your former heights.

c) Divine Empowerment for SoaringActs 1:8
The Holy Spirit empowers believers to rise beyond natural limitations and soar in divine strength.

d) God Opens New Realms of BreakthroughRevelation 3:8
When old doors close, God opens new ones, leading His children into greater opportunities.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s destiny fell repeatedly, yet every rise was higher than the last — from the pit to Potiphar’s house, from prison to the palace (Genesis 41:40-44).

4. GOD MAKES YOUR RISING UNSTOPPABLE
When God rises for you, no force can hold you down. Your lifting becomes permanent, undeniable, and unstoppable.

a) God Is the Glory and the Lifter of Your HeadPsalm 3:3
He lifts your head from shame, delay, and stagnation, making your rising visible to all.

b) No Weapon Can Stop Your RisingIsaiah 54:17
Every satanic resistance to your elevation is destroyed by divine authority.

c) God Commands Light to Shine AgainIsaiah 60:1
Even after seasons of darkness, God causes your light to rise and shine again.

d) Divine Vengeance Clears the Way for RisingIsaiah 49:25-26
God fights for you, removing every force that tries to keep your destiny grounded.

Biblical Example: David was rejected, hunted, and forced into caves, yet God lifted him again until he sat on the throne of Israel in glory (2 Samuel 5:1-5).

CONCLUSION
Your eagle may have fallen, your strength may have dried up, and your vision may have faded, but God is not finished with you. He is the Restorer, the Lifter, and the One who causes the weak to rise again. Every fall you have experienced is becoming the platform for your rise. God will rewrite your story and breathe new strength into your wings.

As you wait upon the Lord and trust in His restoring power, your eagle will rise again. Your life will ascend into higher heights, your glory will be restored, and your destiny will soar far beyond every limitation. The God who raised Joseph, restored Peter, and empowered Samson is about to lift you into a new season of victory and visibility.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, renew my strength and cause my eagle to rise again.

RICH GENEROSITY

RICH GENEROSITY

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: 2 Corinthians 8:2-3

Key Verse: “For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves.” — 2 Corinthians 8:3

Supporting Texts: Acts 20:35; Proverbs 11:24-25; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6-8

Description: This teaching reveals how true giving flows from a willing, joyful, and sacrificial heart empowered by God.

INTRODUCTION
Generosity is not measured by the size of what we give, but by the depth of our love and willingness behind the gift. The Macedonian churches demonstrated this truth when they gave not out of abundance but out of deep poverty, yet their giving overflowed in rich generosity. Their consecrated giving became a model for the entire early church and remains a model for believers today.

In every generation, God raises men and women whose hearts are so transformed by grace that giving becomes their joy, not their burden. These are people who understand that generosity is a spiritual posture, not a financial status. Rich generosity begins inside before it manifests outside; it is birthed in a heart filled with gratitude, compassion, humility, and obedience.

The call to rich generosity is a call to partner with God in blessing lives, advancing His kingdom, and reflecting His character. When we give willingly and sacrificially, we align ourselves with the nature of God, who gave His only Son for our redemption. This message challenges us to allow grace to enlarge our hearts so we can give the way God desires.

1. RICH GENEROSITY BEGINS IN THE HEART
True biblical generosity starts internally before it expresses itself materially. A generous heart is moved by compassion, gratitude, and grace.

a) A Willing HeartExodus 35:5
God desires offerings that come willingly. A willing heart gives joyfully, not under pressure or manipulation. The Macedonians first surrendered their hearts to God, making their giving natural.

b) A Heart Transformed by Grace2 Corinthians 8:1
Generosity is the fruit of grace at work in the heart. When grace fills a person, giving becomes effortless, cheerful, and abundant.

c) A Heart Filled With Love1 John 3:17
Love compels a believer to act; love refuses to ignore the needs of others. A generous heart is always a loving heart.

d) A Heart That Trusts God’s SupplyPhilippians 4:19
Fear stops giving, but trust releases generosity. Those who believe God will provide are never afraid to give sacrificially.

Biblical Example: The widow of Zarephath gave Elijah her last meal because her heart trusted God’s promise of provision, and she entered supernatural abundance (1 Kings 17:8-16).

2. RICH GENEROSITY IS OFTEN BIRTHED IN DIFFICULTY
Generosity shines brightest in seasons of adversity, revealing genuine love and faith.

a) Giving in Hardship2 Corinthians 8:2
The Macedonians gave out of “great trial of affliction.” Hardship did not stop their generosity; it magnified it.

b) Joyful SacrificeHebrews 13:16
Biblical generosity carries joy, even when it costs something. God is pleased when giving stretches us.

c) Giving Beyond One’s Ability2 Samuel 24:24
David refused to give God what cost him nothing. True generosity involves sacrificial giving that honours God.

d) Trusting God in ScarcityPsalm 37:19
Scarcity is not an excuse for withholding; it is an opportunity to trust God’s divine supply.

Biblical Example: The poor widow who gave two mites gave from her poverty, and Jesus declared that she gave more than everyone else (Mark 12:41-44).

3. RICH GENEROSITY BRINGS SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL BLESSINGS
Generosity is a seed that guarantees a harvest in multiple dimensions.

a) God Multiplies the Giver’s Seed2 Corinthians 9:6
Sowing sparingly brings little, but sowing generously brings great increase.

b) Generosity Opens the Door to Divine FavourPsalm 112:5
The generous man enjoys stability, favour, and divine lifting.

c) Generosity Attracts Supernatural ProvisionProverbs 3:9-10
Honouring God with your substance triggers overflowing blessings.

d) Generosity Enriches the SoulProverbs 11:25
The generous person becomes spiritually refreshed, empowered, and fulfilled.

Biblical Example: The Shunammite woman experienced miraculous provision, restoration, and divine remembrance because of her generosity toward Elisha (2 Kings 4:8-17; 2 Kings 8:1-6).

4. RICH GENEROSITY ADVANCES THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Generosity fuels the work of God on earth and becomes a channel through which God touches lives.

a) Supporting God’s WorkPhilippians 4:15-17
Giving becomes a sweet-smelling sacrifice that pleases God and advances His mission.

b) Meeting the Needs of OthersActs 4:34-35
Early believers shared their resources so no one lacked. Kingdom generosity lifts burdens and transforms communities.

c) Empowering Missions and MinistryRomans 10:14-15
Gospel expansion requires financial support. Generosity sends labourers into the harvest field.

d) Reflecting God’s CharacterJames 1:17
God is the giver of every good gift. When we give generously, we mirror His nature to the world.

Biblical Example: The believers in Philippi supported Paul’s missionary journeys consistently, becoming partners in the Gospel and beneficiaries of divine blessings (Philippians 4:15-19).

CONCLUSION
Rich generosity is not about the size of one’s resources but the state of one’s heart. When grace transforms the heart, giving becomes easy, joyful, sacrificial, and abundant. God calls every believer to grow in generosity as a mark of genuine discipleship and spiritual maturity.

As you embrace the spirit of rich generosity, God will enlarge your capacity to give and also multiply every seed you sow. Your life, resources, and influence will become channels of blessing, honouring God and touching lives for His glory.

2. Father, let Your grace empower me to give willingly and joyfully.
3. Lord, break every fear that limits my generosity.
4. Father, supply all my needs as I give sacrificially.
5. Lord, use me as a channel of blessing to others.
6. Father, transform my heart to reflect Your giving nature.

8. Father, open doors of opportunities and favour through generosity.
9. Lord, preserve and enlarge the works of my hands as I give faithfully.

EXCEEDING EXPECTATION

EXCEEDING EXPECTATION

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Ephesians 3:20

Key Verse: “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” — Ephesians 3:20 (KJV)

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 55:8-9, Psalm 126:1-3, 1 Corinthians 2:9, Luke 1:37

Description:
A revelation of God’s ability to surpass human expectations and perform wonders beyond imagination.

INTRODUCTION
God is a God who specialises in surpassing the expectations of His people. Throughout Scripture, we see that whenever God intervenes in human situations, He does not merely meet needs, He exceeds them. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His ways are far above our ways. What seems impossible to man is natural in the realm of God. When we walk with Him, we must expect divine surprises and supernatural manifestations beyond our calculations.

Too often believers limit God by their experiences, backgrounds, fears, or what they have seen others go through. But the God we serve operates outside human boundaries. He does not depend on earthly resources, and He is not confined to human logic. Where man sees limitation, God sees opportunity. Where man sees the end, God sees a new beginning. God delights in showing Himself mighty by doing more than we ask, think, or imagine.

As we embrace the revelation of a God who exceeds expectations, our faith is strengthened, our hope is renewed, and our confidence in divine intervention grows. God wants His children to anticipate miracles, breakthroughs, and blessings that will shock them and silence every doubter. When you walk with the God of exceeding expectations, you will testify of wonders that only heaven could orchestrate.

1. GOD’S NATURE IS TO DO MORE THAN WE EXPECT
God’s character is rooted in abundance, greatness, and limitless power. He operates in a dimension far above human expectations, performing wonders that exceed what we ask for or imagine.

a) God acts beyond human reasoning (Isaiah 55:8-9)
God’s thoughts and ways surpass human understanding, making His interventions far more powerful than human expectations.

b) God provides beyond the need (John 6:11-13)
Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish until the crowd was more than satisfied, showing divine excess.

c) God’s goodness is richer than we can comprehend (Psalm 31:19)
The goodness of God is stored up for His children and surpasses human comprehension.

d) God’s blessings overflow beyond measure (Malachi 3:10)
When God releases blessing, there is no room to contain it, proving that His supply surpasses expectation.

Biblical Example:
When Solomon asked for wisdom, God gave him wisdom, wealth, honour, and glory beyond what he requested (1 Kings 3:11-13). God exceeded his expectation.

2. FAITH POSITIONS US TO RECEIVE BEYOND EXPECTATION
Expectation is the womb of manifestation. When faith rises in the heart, heaven finds a vessel through which exceeding blessings can flow.

a) Faith believes the impossible (Luke 1:37)
Nothing is beyond God’s reach when faith is active, enabling Him to exceed human limitations.

b) Faith enlarges capacity (2 Kings 4:3-6)
The widow’s jars determined the miracle she received; faith expands what we are able to receive.

c) Faith moves God into action (Mark 10:51-52)
Bartimaeus’ expectation for healing pulled a miracle out of Jesus.

d) Faith celebrates before the answer (Hebrews 11:1)
Grateful expectation transforms desires into visible realities.

Biblical Example:
The woman with the issue of blood believed for healing but received not only healing; she received restoration, honour, and public affirmation (Mark 5:25–34). God exceeded her expectation.

3. DIVINE POWER MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE
God works by His power, not by human strength. His power breaks barriers, overturns limitations, and brings forth miraculous results that human effort cannot achieve.

a) God’s power breaks natural laws (Joshua 10:12-14)
The sun stood still because supernatural power overruled nature’s boundaries.

b) God’s power restores what seemed lost (Joel 2:25)
Years of destruction can be reversed in a moment of divine intervention.

c) God’s power opens strange doors (Revelation 3:7-8)
When He opens a door, no power can shut it, even when expectations are low.

d) God’s power silences the enemy (Exodus 14:13-14)
When God fights for His people, the battles they expected to lose become testimonies of victory.

Biblical Example:
Lazarus had been dead four days; all hope was gone. Yet Jesus brought him back to life, exceeding every expectation (John 11:41-44).

4. GOD EXCEEDS EXPECTATION TO BRING GLORY TO HIS NAME
God’s purpose for exceeding expectation is not only to bless His people but also to reveal His glory and power to the world around them.

a) God performs wonders to reveal His greatness (Psalm 126:1-3)
When God turned the captivity of Zion, the nations marvelled at His wondrous works.

b) God exceeds expectation to strengthen our faith (John 2:7-11)
The miracle at Cana deepened the disciples’ belief in Jesus.

c) God’s exceeding blessings become testimonies (Psalm 40:3)
God gives His people new songs that provoke awe in those who hear.

d) God’s works silence mockery and opposition (Micah 7:10)
Those who doubted you will witness divine intervention that exceeds expectation.

Biblical Example:
When Peter was released from prison by an angel, the church praying for him was shocked. They expected safety, but God gave immediate deliverance (Acts 12:6-16). God exceeded their expectation.

CONCLUSION
The God we serve is not limited by human thinking or conditions. His nature is to exceed expectation, multiply blessings, and overturn impossible situations with His power. When you walk with God, you must prepare your heart for divine surprises, supernatural speed, and abundant manifestations.

As you position yourself in faith and maintain a heart of expectation, God will lift you beyond your predictions, silence your enemies, and do wonders that will make nations rejoice with you. Prepare for testimonies that will cause you to marvel at the greatness of your God.

PRAYER POINTS
1. O Lord, increase my faith to believe You for things that exceed my expectations.
2. Father, do in my life what only Your divine power can accomplish.
3. Lord, destroy every barrier limiting my expectation and manifestation.
4. Father, perform wonders in my life that will shock the world around me.
5. O God, open doors for me that no man can shut.
6. Father, turn every area of impossibility in my life into testimonies.
7. Lord, enlarge my capacity to receive exceeding blessings.
8. O God, speak for me where my strength cannot reach.
9. Father, perfect every miracle You have begun in my life.
10. Lord, let my life continually reflect Your greatness and glory.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS
1. You shall receive blessings that exceed every expectation!
2. You shall witness divine surprises that will silence your enemies!
3. Situations that looked impossible shall turn in your favour!
4. You shall walk in miracles that your mind cannot fully comprehend!
5. Doors you never imagined will open for you supernaturally!
6. The goodness of God shall overflow in every area of your life!
7. You shall see divine intervention that will astonish everyone around you!
8. You shall move from limitation to divine abundance!
9. You shall testify of wonders that only God could have done!
10. You shall finish this year with exceeding joy and enter the next with overflowing testimonies!

BEWARE OF LITTLE FOXES

BEWARE OF LITTLE FOXES: How Small Compromises Destroy Great Destinies

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Songs of Solomon 2:15
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.” (KJV)

INTRODUCTION
Life, in its truest essence, is a vineyard planted and nurtured by God. Every believer is like a tender vine, carefully watched over by the Gardener of our souls. God plants His word, His grace, His purpose, and His promises within us so that we may bear fruit to His glory. Yet, there are enemies of fruitfulness: subtle, silent, and often unnoticed called little foxes.

The writer of the Song of Solomon understood this danger and gave a divine warning: “Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines.” The “little foxes” are not giant destroyers that storm the vineyard with noise; they are small, seemingly harmless creatures that slip in quietly and cause devastation from within.

In the same way, the spiritual life of a believer is rarely destroyed by one great fall. It is usually eroded by a series of small compromises, neglected disciplines, tolerated weaknesses, and unconfessed sins. These small foxes creep into the vineyard of our hearts, gnaw at the tender vines of our virtues, and gradually destroy what God is cultivating in us.

ITHE SYMBOLISM OF THE LITTLE FOXES
In biblical imagery, a vineyard represents the believer’s relationship with God: a place of intimacy, fruitfulness, and divine cultivation. The vines symbolise our faith, character, and spiritual progress, while the tender grapes represent the early fruits of righteousness, obedience, and service.

Foxes, on the other hand, are crafty and destructive animals known for burrowing into vineyards and feeding on young grapes before they ripen. They spoil the fruit not by eating it completely but by damaging the plant itself. This mirrors the spiritual truth that sin often destroys not by overwhelming us instantly but by weakening the roots of our faith.

The “little” foxes refer to small sins: those we justify, overlook, or consider harmless. They include small lies, secret pride, hidden resentment, lustful thoughts, laziness in prayer, or the neglect of the Word. These are not the great moral failures that make headlines; they are the silent termites that eat away at our foundation.

In the eyes of God, no sin is little. Every sin, no matter how minor it appears, carries the potential to separate us from His presence if unrepented. That is why the Holy Spirit often convicts us about small things: our tone, our thoughts, our motives, and our attitudes, because He knows what we excuse today can enslave us tomorrow.

IITHE NATURE OF SMALL COMPROMISES

1. They Appear Harmless.
Small compromises often begin as harmless choices. They whisper, “It’s not that bad,” or “Everyone does it.” The devil rarely tempts a believer with open rebellion; instead, he plants seeds of tolerance toward what displeases God. Eve did not fall instantly, it began with a conversation. She only “looked” and “considered” before she “took” and “ate.”

2. They Are Progressive.
Sin grows in stages. A tolerated weakness soon becomes a habit, and a habit becomes bondage. King David’s fall began with a simple decision to stay home instead of going to war (2 Samuel 11:1). What looked like rest became the foundation for moral ruin.

3. They Attack the Roots.
Little foxes do not destroy the fruit first; they destroy the roots and stems. Spiritually, small compromises weaken conviction, dull spiritual sensitivity, and erode the fear of God. You may still sing, preach, or serve, but your passion for holiness begins to fade.

4. They Hide Behind Excuses.
One of the most dangerous attitudes in the Christian journey is self-justification. We often excuse sin by saying, “God understands,” or “I’m not perfect.” These statements may sound humble, but they are spiritual traps that make room for compromise.

5. They Multiply Quickly.
When one fox enters the vineyard, others follow. One lie invites another, one compromise leads to another, until the entire life becomes overrun. That is why small sins must be dealt with immediately before they multiply.

III.   BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF LITTLE FOXES

1. Samson – The Fox of Carelessness.
Samson’s strength was divine, but his downfall began with small acts of carelessness. He broke his Nazarite vow by touching a dead carcass and taking honey from it (Judges 14:8-9). Later, he toyed with sin, thinking he could handle it. Eventually, he lost his anointing in Delilah’s lap. A mighty destiny was destroyed by “little” disobedience.

2. David – The Fox of Idleness.
David’s sin with Bathsheba began when he stayed home while kings went to battle. His first mistake was not adultery but idleness (2 Samuel 11:1). That small decision led to lust, deceit, and murder. One neglected duty became a doorway to destruction.

3. Saul – The Fox of Partial Obedience.
King Saul obeyed God partially by sparing Agag and the best of the Amalekite spoil. He thought he could please God with selective obedience. Samuel’s rebuke was clear: “To obey is better than sacrifice.” (1 Samuel 15:22). Saul’s kingdom was torn away because of a “small” compromise.

4. Judas – The Fox of Greed.
Judas did not suddenly betray Jesus. His heart had been nurturing the fox of greed long before. John 12:6 reveals that he was stealing from the money bag. What began as small theft grew into betrayal for thirty pieces of silver.

5. Ananias and Sapphira – The Fox of Deception.
This couple wanted recognition in the early church and pretended to give all they had while secretly keeping a portion. Their deceit looked small, but it cost them their lives (Acts 5:1-10). Little foxes can have fatal consequences.

IV.   THE CONSEQUENCES OF SMALL COMPROMISES

1. Loss of Spiritual Sensitivity.
When small sins are tolerated, the heart becomes numb to conviction. The voice of the Holy Spirit grows faint, and spiritual discernment fades. Samson did not know that the Spirit of the Lord had departed from him (Judges 16:20).

2. Gradual Erosion of Character.
Character is like a wall;  built one brick at a time and destroyed one crack at a time. Every small compromise weakens moral integrity until the entire structure collapses.

3. Hindrance to Prayer and Fellowship.
Psalm 66:18 says, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.” Little sins, though hidden from men, block communion with God. They create distance between us and our Maker.

4. Loss of Power and Anointing.
The Holy Spirit cannot thrive in an atmosphere of tolerated sin. Anointing and power are sustained by purity. When the foxes of lust, pride, or deceit creep in, the oil begins to dry up.

5. Destruction of Destiny.
Ultimately, small compromises destroy great destinies. Many gifted believers have lost ministries, marriages, and callings because they ignored small issues that later became uncontrollable. The devil needs only one open door to enter and ruin a vineyard.

V.   HOW TO OVERCOME THE LITTLE FOXES

1. Stay Close to the Word.
The Word of God is the mirror that exposes foxes hiding in the heart. Regular study and meditation keep the conscience tender. Psalm 119:11 says, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”

2. Be Sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit convicts, warns, and guides. A believer must listen to those quiet nudges of the Spirit that say, “Don’t do it,” or “Apologise.” Ignoring these small whispers often leads to major falls.

3. Maintain Daily Fellowship with God.
Prayer, worship, and the Word are divine fences around your vineyard. The more time you spend with God, the less space the foxes have to thrive.

4. Confess and Repent Quickly.
Don’t wait until sin grows. The moment the Holy Spirit convicts you, confess and repent. Genuine repentance uproots the foxes before they multiply.

5. Build Accountability.
Every believer needs godly friends, mentors, or leaders who can lovingly correct and guide them. Isolation is dangerous; it allows foxes to breed unchecked.

6. Guard Your Eyes and Thoughts.
The eyes and the mind are gateways. What you feed on shapes your desires. Job declared, “I made a covenant with mine eyes” (Job 31:1). We must do the same.

7. Stay Watchful.
1 Peter 5:8 reminds us to “be sober, be vigilant.” Constant watchfulness is the price of sustained victory.

VI.   A REFLECTION FOR THE BELIEVER
The vineyard God has given you: your salvation, ministry, family, and purpose  is precious. It must be guarded with all diligence. The enemy is subtle; he rarely attacks openly. He prefers to plant small compromises in the soil of your heart, knowing they will bear the fruit of destruction if left unchecked.

Perhaps your vineyard once flourished, but lately, you notice dryness, loss of zeal, or guilt within. It may be that small foxes have entered: small lies, hidden pride, envy, or distraction. The solution is not despair but repentance and restoration. God’s grace is sufficient to cleanse and renew.

Let the prayer of your heart be, “Search me, O God, and know my heart… and lead me in the way everlasting.” (Psalm 139:23-24).

CONCLUSION
Every great destiny is delicate, and every small compromise is dangerous. The tragedy of many lives in Scripture was not sudden sin but gradual tolerance. What we call “little” may be large in God’s sight. Therefore, we must constantly inspect our vineyards and take out the foxes while the grapes are still tender.

May the Lord grant us the grace to walk in daily purity, to guard our hearts from subtle evils, and to preserve our fruit until the day of His appearing. For the crown of destiny belongs to those who are faithful in little things.

A GRATEFUL HEART

A GRATEFUL HEART

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 103:1-5

Key Verse: “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”  1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV)

Supporting Texts: Psalm 100:4, Colossians 3:15-17, Luke 17:11-19, Hebrews 13:15

Description:
A call to cultivate a lifestyle of gratitude that honours God, strengthens faith, and attracts continuous blessings.

INTRODUCTION
A grateful heart is one of the greatest assets a believer can possess. Gratitude is more than a polite expression of thanks; it is a spiritual posture that acknowledges God as the source of all blessings. When thanksgiving becomes a lifestyle, it shapes our attitude, deepens our faith, and opens the door to supernatural encounters. In a world filled with challenges, pressures, and shifting priorities, gratitude becomes an anchor of stability that keeps the believer focused on God’s goodness.

Gratitude is not dependent on circumstances but on revelation. The more a person understands the nature of God, the easier it becomes to be thankful in all seasons. A grateful heart sees beyond the temporary struggles and recognises the continuous mercies of God. It remembers His benefits and celebrates His faithfulness, even in the face of adversity. Thanksgiving is the voice of faith, the language of humility, and the atmosphere in which miracles thrive.

When a believer chooses to live daily with a grateful heart, they attract the presence of God, experience renewed strength, and maintain a victorious perspective. Gratitude unlocks joy, fuels spiritual growth, and positions the believer for greater manifestations of God’s power. A grateful heart is not just an attitude, it is a lifestyle of worship that elevates a person into deeper dimensions of divine favour.

1. A GRATEFUL HEART REMEMBERS GOD’S BENEFITS
A grateful person does not forget what God has done. They intentionally recall His mercies and recognise His hand in every achievement, deliverance, and blessing. To remember is to remain humble and dependent on God.

a) Gratitude remembers mercy (Psalm 103:2-4)
A grateful heart constantly reflects on divine forgiveness, healing, protection, and redemption, acknowledging that no blessing is accidental.

b) Gratitude acknowledges God as the source (James 1:17)
Every good thing in life traces its origin to God; thanksgiving keeps this truth alive in the believer’s mind.

c) Gratitude keeps the heart humble (Deuteronomy 8:10-14)
When people forget what God has done, pride rises; but gratitude keeps the heart tender and obedient.

d) Gratitude deepens faith (Psalm 77:11-12)
Remembering God’s past works strengthens expectation and stirs confidence for future miracles.

Biblical Example:
David continually remembered the benefits of God. In Psalm 103 he rehearsed God’s goodness: His forgiveness, healing, redemption, and lovingkindness; proving that gratitude flows from a heart that remembers.

2. A GRATEFUL HEART ATTRACTS GOD’S PRESENCE
God is drawn to a thankful person. Gratitude opens spiritual gates, unlocks divine favour, and creates an atmosphere where God delights to dwell.

a) Thanksgiving grants access (Psalm 100:4)
Gratitude is the key that opens the door to divine presence and ushers the believer into God’s courts.

b) Gratitude invites divine intervention (Psalm 22:3)
God inhabits the praises of His people, meaning He responds actively where gratitude is present.

c) Gratitude brings peace (Colossians 3:15)
A thankful heart becomes a dwelling place for divine peace that surpasses human understanding.

d) Gratitude fuels worship (Hebrews 13:15)
A grateful person offers continuous sacrifices of praise, creating an environment where God manifests Himself.

Biblical Example:
Paul and Silas filled their midnight hour with thanksgiving and praise. Their grateful expressions invited the presence of God so strongly that prison doors opened and chains broke (Acts 16:25-26).

3. A GRATEFUL HEART PRODUCES MULTIPLICATION
Thanksgiving does not just appreciate what God has done; it multiplies what is already in your hands. Gratitude is a spiritual catalyst that transforms little into abundance.

a) Thanksgiving multiplies resources (John 6:11-13)
When Jesus gave thanks for the five loaves and two fish, what was insufficient became more than enough.

b) Gratitude unlocks answered prayers (Philippians 4:6-7)
When petitions are mixed with thanksgiving, results manifest with divine peace.

c) Gratitude breaks stagnation (Jeremiah 30:19)
Out of thanksgiving arises increase, enlargement, and divine multiplication.

d) Gratitude activates divine favour (Psalm 67:5-7)
When people praise God, the earth responds with increase, and God blesses them beyond measure.

Biblical Example:
Jesus thanked God at Lazarus’ tomb before the miracle happened. His gratitude preceded resurrection power, proving that thanksgiving releases the supernatural (John 11:41-44).

4. A GRATEFUL HEART BRINGS WHOLENESS AND PROMOTION
Many receive blessings but only a few return to give thanks. Gratitude elevates people, completes their miracles, and opens doors to new realms of glory.

a) Gratitude brings complete restoration (Luke 17:15-19)
Only the one leper who returned in gratitude was made completely whole. Gratitude perfects miracles.

b) Gratitude positions for greater blessings (Psalm 92:1-4,10)
A thankful person experiences fresh oil, divine strength, and supernatural elevation.

c) Gratitude makes one distinguished (Daniel 6:10)
Daniel’s lifestyle of thanksgiving separated him and brought him to a place of honour.

d) Gratitude secures future victories (1 Samuel 7:12)
Samuel raised an altar of remembrance to thank God, and that act preserved Israel from future defeat.

Biblical Example:
Mordecai remained faithful and grateful to God even when unrewarded. In due time, gratitude and faithfulness moved him from the gate to the palace (Esther 6:1-11).

CONCLUSION
Gratitude is not a seasonal attitude but a spiritual discipline that transforms the life of a believer. A grateful heart remembers God’s goodness, invites His presence, multiplies His blessings, and attracts continuous promotion. When gratitude becomes a lifestyle, the believer walks in strength, joy, peace, and supernatural favour.

As you cultivate a grateful heart, you position yourself under open heavens, and you create an atmosphere where God delights to reveal His glory. Gratitude is the key that unlocks tomorrow’s miracles. Therefore, choose thankfulness in all things and watch God move mightily on your behalf.

THAT SAME GOD WILL DO IT AGAIN

THAT SAME GOD WILL DO IT AGAIN

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Hebrews 13:8
Key Verse: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” — Hebrews 13:8 (KJV)

Supporting Texts: Malachi 3:6, Psalm 77:11-14, Isaiah 43:13, Lamentations 3:22-23, Romans 15:4

Description:
A powerful reminder that the God who performed wonders in the past still does miracles today and will do them again for His people.

INTRODUCTION
One of the greatest assurances the believer carries is the unchanging nature of God. Circumstances may shift, seasons may turn, people may change, and challenges may rise, but God remains eternally consistent. His character does not fluctuate, and His power does not diminish. What He did before, He is still able and willing to do again.

Throughout the Scriptures, God invites us to remember His past deeds so that our faith might be strengthened. The testimonies of yesterday are not merely historical records; they are faith-building evidence that God is still at work. Every miracle of old is a prophecy of what God can repeat in your life when you trust Him wholeheartedly.

As we stand at the edge of new seasons and face different kinds of challenges, the Spirit of God calls us to look back and recall the wonders He has done. The same God who healed before will heal again. The same God who opened doors before will open them again. The same God who lifted, restored, defended, and delivered before—that same God will do it again in your life.

1. GOD DOES NOT CHANGE, AND HIS POWER DOES NOT DIMINISH
God remains eternally the same in power, mercy, character, and ability. What He did before He can reproduce in any generation.
God’s unchanging nature is the foundation of our confidence. Because He does not change, His works and wonders remain dependable from age to age.

a) God’s nature is constant (Malachi 3:6)
His character cannot be altered by circumstances, time, or human failures; He remains faithful to His word.

b) God’s power is everlasting (Isaiah 26:4)
Divine strength does not weaken or run out; the God who worked wonders generations ago still operates in the same capacity.

c) God’s compassion is renewed daily (Lamentations 3:22-23)
His mercies are not restricted to the past; they unfold freshly every morning for those who trust Him.

d) God’s promises are timeless (2 Corinthians 1:20)
Every promise He made is still valid; not one has expired or become irrelevant.

Biblical Example:
When God told Moses to stretch his rod over the Red Sea, He showed His power. But He repeated that same wonder when Joshua faced the Jordan. The waters parted again, proving that His power never diminishes (Exodus 14:21; Joshua 3:15-17).

2. GOD REPEATS HIS WONDERS WHEN HIS PEOPLE REMEMBER HIS WORKS
God expects His people to remember His past miracles because remembrance fuels expectation and invites divine intervention.
When you recall what God has done, you strengthen your faith to receive what He is about to do. Testimonies are reminders that God is still alive and active.

a) Remembering fuels faith (Psalm 77:11-12)
Meditating on past miracles stirs confidence that God can act again.

b) Testimonies are spiritual seeds (Revelation 12:11)
They become instruments of victory when spoken and believed.

c) Forgetfulness hinders miracles (Psalm 78:41-42)
Israel limited God because they forgot His works; a forgetful believer weakens divine manifestation.

d) Remembrance attracts divine action (Psalm 105:5)
When we bring God’s deeds to memory, we align our hearts with His faithfulness.

Biblical Example:
David remembered how God delivered him from the lion and the bear. That remembrance empowered him to face Goliath, believing God would do it again. And indeed, God did (1 Samuel 17:34-37).

3. GOD REPEATS HIS WONDERS WHEN HIS PEOPLE WALK IN OBEDIENCE AND FAITH
Obedience and faith are keys that unlock repeated miracles. God responds to trust and submission from His children.
Every time God performed wonders in Scripture, He required faith and obedience. He still looks for these qualities today before repeating His acts.

a) Faith moves the hand of God (Mark 9:23)
Nothing limits God except unbelief; faith makes the impossible possible.

b) Obedience triggers divine intervention (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)
When God’s people act on His instruction, miracles follow.

c) Doubt blocks divine repetition (James 1:6-7)
A doubting heart will struggle to experience the power of God.

d) God honours consistent trust (Hebrews 10:35-36)
Those who endure in faith always see God act again on their behalf.

Biblical Example:
Peter obeyed Jesus’ instruction to cast his net again, even after an unproductive night. Because of his faith-filled obedience, Jesus repeated the miracle of abundance, and the nets overflowed (Luke 5:4-7).

4. GOD WILL DO IT AGAIN TO REVEAL HIS GLORY AND ESTABLISH HIS PURPOSE
Every repeated miracle reveals God’s glory and advances His divine agenda in our lives.
God does not repeat wonders merely to impress; He does it to glorify His name, promote His kingdom, and align our destinies to His will.

a) God repeats miracles to glorify His name (John 11:4)
His wonders reveal His supremacy and draw men to Him.

b) God repeats miracles to confirm His Word (Isaiah 55:11)
Whenever He acts again, it validates what He has spoken.

c) God repeats miracles to establish destiny (Jeremiah 29:11)
His acts position His children where He wants them to be.

d) God repeats miracles to silence adversaries (Psalm 92:11)
Each divine intervention puts the enemy to shame.

Biblical Example:
God delivered Daniel from the lions’ den, and later delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from the fiery furnace. By repeating His wonders in Babylon, He revealed His glory and silenced the adversaries (Daniel 3 & 6).

CONCLUSION
The God you serve is not a God of one-time miracles. He is a God who repeats His wonders in every generation and in every life that believes in Him. What He did in the Scriptures, in the lives of saints, and in your own past, He is ready and willing to do again.

As you trust Him, walk in faith, obey His voice, and remember His works, you position yourself for repeated manifestations of His power. No matter the challenge before you today, let your heart be assure: that same God will do it again.

THE MYSTERY OF DIVINE VENGEANCE

THE MYSTERY OF DIVINE VENGEANCE

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Romans 12:17-21

Key Verse: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” — Romans 12:19 (KJV)

Supporting Texts: Psalm 94:1-3, Isaiah 63:4, Psalm 35:1-8, Nahum 1:2-3, 2 Thessalonians 1:6

Description:
This teaching unveils how God executes justice on behalf of His children and fights the battles they cannot fight for themselves.

INTRODUCTION
The concept of divine vengeance is often misunderstood, yet it stands as one of the ways God establishes justice, delivers His people, and restores righteousness. When the Bible speaks of vengeance, it does not endorse personal revenge; rather, it points to God’s holy intervention on behalf of His own.

All through Scripture, God reveals Himself as the Righteous Judge who sees every injustice, every oppression, and every affliction committed against His children. He assures His people that He will not allow wickedness to triumph indefinitely. Where human strength fails and human systems fall short, divine vengeance steps in as a supernatural equaliser.

In this month and season, God is unveiling Himself as the One who fights battles, silences adversaries, and repays wickedness. As believers walk in purity, obedience, and trust, they position themselves to experience the mystery of divine vengeance manifesting powerfully in their lives.

1. DIVINE VENGEANCE IS GOD’S PREROGATIVE
Before any battle is fought, God wants His people to understand that vengeance does not belong to man, it belongs absolutely to Him. God fights differently, thoroughly, and righteously.

a) God alone is the Righteous Judge (Psalm 94:1-2)
God sits as the supreme Judge of heaven and earth, ensuring no injustice goes unnoticed and no righteous person is forgotten.

b) God repays injustices in His own time (Nahum 1:2-3)
His vengeance is never late; it arrives with precision, purpose, and perfect timing.

c) Human revenge creates more damage (Romans 12:17)
When humans try to avenge themselves, they escalate battles, but when they allow God to fight, peace and justice follow.

d) God’s vengeance preserves the righteous (Psalm 37:28)
Divine vengeance is not destruction for its own sake; it is preservation for the sake of His people.

Biblical Example:
God fought for Israel against Egypt. The Israelites could not avenge themselves against Pharaoh, but God stepped in with ten plagues, broke the pride of a king, and drowned an army in the Red Sea (Exodus 7-14).

2. DIVINE VENGEANCE BRINGS DELIVERANCE TO GOD’S PEOPLE
Whenever God rises in vengeance, His people are delivered, rescued, and set free from oppression and captivity.

a) God avenges to break yokes (Isaiah 10:27)
His vengeance destroys the burdens and demonic oppressions that hold people down.

b) God avenges to silence adversaries (Psalm 18:44-45)
When God fights, enemies surrender without negotiation.

c) God avenges to reverse wickedness (Psalm 35:1-4)
What the enemy intended is turned around by the hand of the Lord.

d) God avenges to restore peace (Isaiah 32:17)
True peace flows only after God crushes the forces troubling His children.

Biblical Example:
In the days of Esther, Haman plotted to exterminate the Jews. When God rose in vengeance, Haman was hanged on the same gallows he built for Mordecai, and the Jews obtained deliverance (Esther 7-9).

3. DIVINE VENGEANCE RESTORES WHAT WAS LOST
God’s vengeance is not only reactionary; it is restorative. He repays losses, rebuilds destinies, and establishes compensation for every injustice.

a) God restores wasted years (Joel 2:25)
Whatever the enemy stole through oppression, God returns in multiplied measure.

b) God pays back the wickedness of the wicked (Proverbs 11:21)
No evil deed goes unpunished; God ensures that wickedness receives its due reward.

c) God compensates His children (Isaiah 61:7)
When God executes vengeance, shame is replaced with double honour.

d) God restores destinies after battle (Psalm 126:1-3)
Divine vengeance often ushers in a season of testimony and turnaround.

Biblical Example:
When the Philistines captured the Ark and oppressed Israel, God struck their cities with plagues until they returned the Ark with gifts and restitution (1 Samuel 5-6).

4. DIVINE VENGEANCE ESTABLISHES GOD’S GLORY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
One of the deepest mysteries of divine vengeance is that God uses it to glorify His name and establish His righteousness on earth.

a) God’s vengeance reveals His holiness (Isaiah 63:4)
It shows He does not tolerate wickedness against His covenant people.

b) God’s vengeance magnifies His power (Psalm 76:7-9)
When God fights, nations tremble and His people rejoice.

c) God’s vengeance proves His covenant faithfulness (Deuteronomy 32:35-36)
He rises because He cannot abandon His own.

d) God’s vengeance aligns destinies with divine purpose (Jeremiah 1:19)
It ensures every attack meant to derail destiny is crushed.

Biblical Example:
When God judged Sennacherib’s army, sending an angel who destroyed 185,000 soldiers in one night, all nations knew that Jehovah alone is God (2 Kings 19:32-37).

CONCLUSION
Divine vengeance is a holy operation of God, executed with justice, mercy, and power. It is God rising in defence of His people, silencing adversaries, settling long-standing battles, and restoring what was lost. Every believer who trusts God, walks in righteousness, and surrenders their battles to Him positions themselves for supernatural intervention.

As you stand firm in faith and avoid personal revenge, you allow the Almighty to take over your battles. And when God fights, the result is always victory, peace, restoration, and undeniable glory.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, arise in Your vengeance and fight every battle confronting my life.
2. Father, expose and judge every hidden work of wickedness against my destiny.
3. O God, repay trouble to those who trouble my life and family.
4. Lord, break every yoke of oppression assigned against me.
5. Father, silence every adversary rising against my peace.
6. Lord, restore everything the enemy has stolen from my life.
7. O God, strengthen me to trust in Your justice and not seek revenge.
8. Father, let Your vengeance bring me deliverance and restoration.
9. Lord, execute judgment upon every stubborn pursuer of my destiny.
10. O God, let Your righteousness and glory be revealed in my life.

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS

2. Every adversary troubling your life shall be judged by the Lord!
3. You shall enjoy divine deliverance from every oppression!
4. Whatever was stolen from you shall be fully restored!
5. You shall walk in victory over every long-standing battle!
6. The Lord shall give you peace in every area of your life!
7. You shall experience divine compensation and honour!
8. No weapon formed against you shall prosper!
9. The hand of the wicked shall not prevail over you!
10. You shall step into a season of divine justice and supernatural breakthroughs!

POWER AGAINST EXTENDED BATTLES

POWER AGAINST EXTENDED BATTLES

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Exodus 14:13-14

Key Verse: “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”  (Exodus 14:14)

Supporting Texts: Isaiah 49:24-26; Psalm 46:10; 2 Chronicles 20:15; Nahum 1:9

Description:
A message revealing God’s power to end long-standing battles and grant total victory.

INTRODUCTION
Some battles in life last longer than expected. They seem to stretch from one season into another, refusing to bow, refusing to shift, and refusing to end. These extended battles drain strength, weaken hope, and make progress difficult. But God has not designed His children to remain in endless warfare; He has provided supernatural power to bring every prolonged battle to an end.

Extended battles often hide behind invisible cycles: patterns of delay, repeated disappointments, financial struggles, family crises, or spiritual oppression. They create a sense that breakthrough is always near but never materialises. Yet throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as the One who steps into longstanding battles and ends them in one moment.

When God arises, battles that lasted years scatter in seconds. Pharaoh pursued Israel for over 400 years, but in one night God ended the fight. The God who drowned Pharaoh is still alive. He specialises in terminating long-term afflictions, breaking generational strongholds, and bringing closure to battles that have lasted too long. Tonight, He will empower you to overcome every extended battle.

1. THE NATURE OF EXTENDED BATTLES
Extended battles are prolonged confrontations that resist natural effort and require divine intervention.

a) Spiritual resistance (Daniel 10:12-13). Some battles linger because spiritual forces resist your breakthrough, delaying answers until divine power intervenes.

b) Cycles and patterns (Judges 2:18-19).  Israel suffered repetitive cycles; extended battles often run in cycles that only God can break.

c) Hidden legal grounds (Lamentations 3:37).  Some battles continue because the enemy finds legal grounds to accuse, delay, or hinder destiny.

d) Weariness and discouragement (Galatians 6:9).  Extended battles drain faith, but God renews strength so His people can rise again.

Biblical Example: The woman with the issue of blood battled sickness for 12 years until Jesus ended the lingering affliction instantly (Mark 5:25-34).

2. GOD’S PROMISE TO END LONG-STANDING WARFARE
God never intends that battles should last forever; He has committed Himself to give rest to His people.

a) God fights for His people (2 Chronicles 20:15).  The battle is not yours; extended battles end when God steps in as the Warrior.

b) God sets an expiration date (Nahum 1:9). Affliction shall not rise a second time, He determines how far battles can go.

c) God breaks the oppressor (Isaiah 49:24-26).  The lawful captive shall be delivered and the prey of the mighty shall be taken away.

d) God gives permanent rest (Joshua 21:44).  When God gives rest, no enemy can rise again to trouble you.

Biblical Example: After years of warfare, God gave David total victory over all his enemies and rest on every side (2 Samuel 7:1).

3. DIVINE WEAPONS FOR TERMINATING EXTENDED BATTLES
God equips believers with spiritual tools to confront and end persistent battles.

a) The weapon of prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). Extended battles often require intensified prayer and fasting to uproot stubborn resistance.

b) The weapon of the Word (Jeremiah 23:29).  The Word of God breaks strongholds like fire and shatters long-standing oppressions like a hammer.

c) The weapon of praise warfare (Acts 16:25-26).  Praise provokes divine intervention; walls and chains fall when God inhabits your praise.

d) The weapon of prophetic decrees (Job 22:28).  Declaring God’s Word enforces divine verdicts and compels stubborn battles to bow.

Biblical Example: Jehoshaphat ended an overwhelming battle through prophetic praise, and God scattered the enemies without a sword (2 Chronicles 20:20-24).

4. DIVINE MERCY AND ANGELIC INTERVENTION IN EXTENDED BATTLES
Extended battles often end through divine mercy and angelic assistance.

a) Mercy overturns ancient battles (Psalm 102:13).  When your “set time” comes, the mercy of God forces every long-standing battle to end.

b) Angels fight on behalf of God’s people (Psalm 34:7).  Angels encamp and engage in warfare, breaking chains and overthrowing enemy forces.

c) God’s presence melts resistance (Psalm 97:5).  Mountains that have stood for years melt like wax before the presence of the Lord.

d) Divine vengeance ends stubborn battles (Isaiah 63:4).  God arises to execute vengeance, ensuring battles that lasted years end permanently.

Biblical Example: In one night, an angel destroyed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, ending a prolonged siege against Israel (2 Kings 19:35).

CONCLUSION
Extended battles are not permanent. No challenge, affliction, delay, or warfare can outlast the power of God. As you engage divine weapons, stand on God’s promises, and trust in His mercy, every prolonged battle will receive divine termination. God has arisen to fight for you, and the battles that lingered for years will end suddenly.

Step into this season with confidence. The Lord is your Warrior, your Defender, and your Deliverer. The years of struggle shall become years of testimony. The storms that lingered shall bow to His authority. You will walk into the new year victorious, free, and empowered by His mighty hand.

PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, arise and fight every prolonged battle in my life.
2. Father, release Your power to destroy every stubborn adversary.
3. Lord, break every cycle of delay operating in my life.
4. Father, overturn every legal ground the enemy is using against me.
5. Lord, melt every long-standing mountain resisting my progress.
6. Father, release angels to wage war on my behalf.
7. Lord, give me strength and wisdom to confront prolonged challenges.
8. Father, let every generational battle expire by Your power.
9. Lord, give me rest from every warfare before this year ends.
10. Father, turn every long-standing battle into a testimony of victory.

2. You shall not carry any prolonged warfare into the new year!
3. You shall walk in divine victory and supernatural rest!
4. Every stubborn opposition against you shall bow to the power of God!
