MY SEASON OF LAUGHTER HAS COME

Sermon Title: MY SEASON OF LAUGHTER HAS COME

By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Supporting Texts: Psalm 126:1-3, Isaiah 61:7, Job 8:21

INTRODUCTION:
Laughter is often a sign of joy, celebration, and victory. When Sarah gave birth to Isaac, she declared, "God has made me laugh, and everyone who hears will laugh with me" (Genesis 21:6). This was not just a physical laughter, but a testimony of God's faithfulness and fulfilment of His promise. Today, God is ready to bring you into your own season of laughter—a time when all your tears will be wiped away and your joy will be restored. No matter how long the delay has been, God can turn your sorrow into laughter.

1. GOD TURNS IMPOSSIBILITIES INTO LAUGHTER

a) Sarah’s laughter was born from an impossible situation; she was barren and old, yet God fulfilled His promise.

b) When God steps into your situation, impossibilities bow to Him. What seems impossible in the eyes of man becomes possible with God.

c) Divine laughter comes after long seasons of waiting or suffering.

d) It doesn't matter how long you've waited—God's timing is perfect, and He will bring your laughter at the appointed time.

e) Biblical Example: Sarah laughed when Isaac was born because God turned her impossible situation into a testimony (Genesis 21:6-7).

2. YOUR TEARS WILL TURN TO JOY

a) Psalm 126:5-6 says, “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.” God promises to turn every tear you’ve shed into joy and laughter.

b) No tear is wasted in the eyes of God; He sees and remembers every moment of sorrow.

c) What you’re passing through today is only temporary. God is working behind the scenes to bring you to your season of laughter.

d) The same people who saw you in pain will witness your joy and laughter.

e) Biblical Example: When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, the people declared, "Our mouths were filled with laughter" (Psalm 126:1-3).

3. A SEASON OF RESTORATION BRINGS LAUGHTER

a) Laughter often comes when God restores what has been lost or stolen.

b) Job, after losing everything, was restored and blessed twice as much as before. God filled his mouth with laughter again (Job 42:10, Job 8:21).

c) Restoration brings joy and laughter because it is a reminder that God is faithful to His promises.

d) Every season of loss, pain, and disappointment will be replaced by a season of restoration and divine laughter.

e) Biblical Example: Job’s restoration was so complete that God filled his mouth with laughter and joy after his trials (Job 8:21).

4. PROPHETIC LAUGHTER BREAKS THE YOKE OF SORROW

a) Just as God promised Sarah laughter, He has also promised you a season of divine joy.

b) Your laughter is not just for you—it will be a testimony to others of God’s goodness and power.

c) When laughter comes, it brings healing, joy, and a release from the yokes of sorrow and pain.

d) Even in the face of challenges, prophetic laughter is a sign of victory and expectation of God’s goodness.

e) Biblical Example: Sarah’s laughter was not just for her but for everyone who heard of her miracle, showing God’s power (Genesis 21:6).

5. YOUR SEASON OF LAUGHTER WILL BRING GLORY TO GOD

a) God uses laughter as a tool to glorify Himself through your life.

b) The blessings and breakthroughs that bring you joy will be a testimony to others about God’s faithfulness.

c) God wants to use your life as a sign of His goodness—He wants others to hear of your joy and laugh with you.

d) This season of laughter is not only a reward for your patience but a testimony that will draw others to God.

e) Biblical Example: Sarah's laughter brought glory to God as others witnessed His power and faithfulness in her life (Genesis 21:6).

CONCLUSION:
Your season of laughter has come. Just as God turned Sarah’s sorrow into joy and filled her mouth with laughter, He is about to do the same for you. Your tears, your waiting, and your trials are about to be replaced with joy, laughter, and testimonies. In this season, expect to laugh like never before as God shows His faithfulness in your life. What seemed impossible is now possible because God has declared your season of laughter!

PRAYER POINTS:

1. Lord, turn my sorrow into joy and fill my mouth with laughter.

2. Father, let my season of laughter begin now, in Jesus' name.

3. Lord, every impossibility in my life, let it turn into a testimony of Your faithfulness.

ITS YOUR TURN TO LAUGH

IT’S YOUR TURN TO LAUGH
Text: John 20: 11-16

God ask me to tell someone that your season of laughter has begun. After today, those who laughed at you will laugh with you.
You might have been weeping before, but now it is your turn to laugh.
It doesn't matter how things may look now, when God says yes, no man can say no. It is now your turn. Life is turn by turn. Today is marking a special turn around in someone's life.

According to our major text, Mary was weeping and hopeless, but Jesus came into the scene saying: I’m the one you are looking for, why are you weeping. 

This year, in the name of Jesus you will see what you are looking for!
Are you looking for a baby? You will dance.
Are you looking for job? You will come here with your appointment letter.
Are you looking for husband? You will do thanksgiving here.
Are you looking for a wife, not just a lady? Not all ladies are wife material, this year you will find a wife.
Are you looking for a way?, this year God will make a way and you will see it.
Are you looking for admission into higher institution, you will get your admission letter.
Are you looking for business opportunity, you will get that opportunity.
Are you looking for breakthrough, you will get a breakthrough.
It’s not strange to cry / weep , but it is strange when your tears are not wiped. 

Why are you weeping?
Today God will address some issues in your life that made you weep in the past. It is now your own turn to laugh. It is your turn for a divine turnaround.

*  Haggai wept in Gen. 21: 16 because her child was dying of thirst in the wilderness. Forsaken and forgotten child was dying as a result of her personal mistakes. 
Your child may be your business, health, work, marriage, career, education,  etc.
In verses 17 – 19 The Lord (not the Pastor / Uncle) opened her eyes. 
Now it’s your turn to SEE your way. 
My God will open your eyes and you will see new things and your tears will be wiped off

* In  Gen 27:38 Esau cried because he lost his birthright through carelessness and covetousness.But thank God:though no one will pray to be like Esau, he still became wealthy and powerful in his own right (Chapter 36)

* In 1Sam 1:9-10 Hannah wept because she was barren.

* Why are you weeping? Is your life barren? Were you barren in the year past? I’m here as the Priest of the Most High God, go home, your prayers are answered. God who answered Hannah is around.

* In 2 Sam 15:30 King David broke the law of royalty and wept because his throne is being stolen.
Is somebody about to displace you, Push you out of your position, push you out of your husband’s place, God wiped away the tears of David. The supernatural collided with natural; bush began to fight a living man! And at the end he was victorious.

 2 Sam.18:9-10. That which is carrying your enemy around and giving him fake confidence will disappoint him!

 *  2Kings 8: 10 -12 The servant of God wept because of a bad revelation of coming suffering. What bad dream are you having. God can overthrow it.

* In 2Kings 20:1-3  Hezekiah wept sore because he was about to die.  Is premature death looming?. Do you have a disease that kills? God who added 15years to Hezekiah; he will add 51years to your own.

* According to Ps. 137:1.  Israel wept because they were in bondage. They remembered the days of old when thing were working well.  Why are you weeping?  Did you remember the good old days, when things were working, when you did eat and have surplus? God will turn back your captivity. I see a divine turnaround.

* Neh. 5:1-5. The people wept because of debt.  In verse 12  of the same chapter their debt was cancelled!

* In Rev.5:3-4 John wept because the book of fulfillment of prophecy could not be opened. 
Are you weeping because your book of success appears closed? 
Are you weeping because you have no one to assist you? Now, weep not. Jesus has prevailed. It’s not the time to weep; it’s your turn to laugh!
Rev. 21:1-4 Last year is your first heaven on earth. This  is your New Jerusalem – no weeping / crying / no more pain.
Former thing are gone.
It’s time to laugh! And all that hear will laugh with you. 

ILL.  A lady (39years ) had this story.  She attended a birthday party at 15 and was distributing cake. A man took 1,2,3. and when he was challenged, he became angry and  said you will marry me or no one will.  By39,  she was still single! After a while God turned the table and she laughed!

In the name of Jesus you will laugh.
