YOUR CONDITION IS NOT YOUR CONCLUSION

YOUR CONDITION IS NOT YOUR CONCLUSION

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Job 14:7-9

Supporting Texts: Jeremiah 29:11, Psalm 30:5, Micah 7:8, 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

INTRODUCTION:
Life often presents us with situations that appear final, hopeless, and unchangeable. Many people mistake their current condition for their final destination. They assume that what they are going through now will determine how their story ends. But our God is a God of turnaround, restoration, and new beginnings.

Job’s life is a clear testimony of this truth. He lost everything—his wealth, his health, his children, and even the support of his wife and friends. Yet, Job 42:12 declares that “the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.” This is evidence that your condition is not your conclusion.

God is not done with you yet! Where people expect to see your end, God will begin a new chapter. Where the enemy thought he had the final say, God will rewrite your story with glory. Your pain is not permanent, your struggle is not your full stop, and your present crisis is not your conclusion.

1. YOUR PRESENT CHALLENGE IS TEMPORARY

a) Trials do not last forever (2 Corinthians 4:17)
Your affliction is for a moment; it is producing an eternal weight of glory.

b) God works in seasons (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
Every season has an expiry date, and no trouble lasts beyond its appointed time.

c) Darkness gives way to light (Psalm 30:5)
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

d) The valley is not permanent (Psalm 23:4)
Even though you walk through the valley, you are not meant to dwell there.

Biblical Example: Joseph’s pit and prison did not stop his palace destiny (Genesis 41:41-43).

2. GOD’S PURPOSE IS GREATER THAN YOUR PROBLEM

a) God has thoughts of peace towards you (Jeremiah 29:11)
His plans are higher than your present struggles.

b) Problems do not cancel God’s promises (Numbers 23:19)
What He has spoken concerning you will surely come to pass.

c) God turns evil into good (Genesis 50:20)
What the enemy meant for harm, God uses for your elevation.

d) Purpose gives meaning to pain (Romans 8:28)
Everything is working together for your good because you love God.

Biblical Example: Esther was once an orphan, but God’s purpose made her a queen and deliverer (Esther 4:14).

3. YOUR STORY IS NOT FINISHED YET

a) God is the Author and Finisher (Hebrews 12:2)
If He began with you, He will perfect it.

b) What looks like an end is often a bend (Isaiah 43:19)
God specialises in making a way in the wilderness.

c) Your latter days will be better (Haggai 2:9)
The glory of the latter house shall surpass the former.

d) Restoration is part of God’s agenda (Joel 2:25-26)
He restores wasted years and gives satisfaction.

Biblical Example: Naomi thought her life was over, but God gave her a new testimony through Ruth (Ruth 4:13-17).

4. YOUR FAITH DETERMINES YOUR FUTURE

a) Faith speaks life, not death (2 Corinthians 4:13)
What you believe and confess shapes your tomorrow.

b) Without faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6)
Faith is the currency for divine change.

c) Faith refuses to quit (Micah 7:8)
When you fall, you will rise again because faith keeps you standing.

d) Faith moves mountains (Mark 11:23-24)
What looks impossible bows to the power of believing prayer.

Biblical Example: The woman with the issue of blood changed her conclusion by faith (Mark 5:25-34).

5. GOD SPECIALISES IN CHANGING CONCLUSIONS

a) God has the final say (Lamentations 3:37)
No man or situation can overrule His verdict.

b) He turns mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11)
God changes sorrow into celebration.

c) He gives beauty for ashes (Isaiah 61:3)
Out of brokenness, God brings forth glory.

d) He raises the poor from the dust (1 Samuel 2:8)
God changes positions in a way no man can.

Biblical Example: Lazarus was dead four days, yet Jesus reversed his conclusion (John 11:43-44).

CONCLUSION:
Beloved, your current condition is not the final chapter of your life. Where people see a full stop, God places a comma. Where men say it is over, God declares it is just beginning. Job rose again, Joseph ruled again, Naomi rejoiced again, and Lazarus lived again.

Your story is still being written, and with God, the end will be glorious. Hold on in faith, for your condition is not your conclusion.

PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, thank You because my present condition is not my conclusion.
2. Father, frustrate every agenda of the enemy concerning my destiny.
3. O Lord, give me faith that sees beyond my present trials.
4. Father, turn my shame into glory in the name of Jesus.
5. Lord, let every dead situation in my life receive resurrection power.
6. My Father, restore every wasted year in my life.
7. Lord, silence every voice mocking my present condition.
8. Father, let my latter glory be greater than my former.
9. Lord, rewrite my story with Your mercy and favour.
10. Father, bring me into my glorious conclusion in Jesus’ name.
