Through it all
I. SON OF MAN, where are you? What are you doing? Are you in a wilderness? Are you appearing before a wicked judge? We must understand that life has seasons. There are mountain-top seasons of praise, and there are valley seasons of pain. There are days of clarity and days where we ask, “God, where are You? Difficulties are part of life in a fallen world. Jesus never lied to us about suffering. The Christian life is not defined by whether we go through difficulties. It is defined by who we go through them with. Today, I exhort you: don't lose hope in the storm, and don't keep quiet in the testimony. But beloved, we must understand that it is “", not around it. Not over it. But get through it. But must resonate in our spirit that we need to go through it because God does not always deliver us from the fire, but He promises to walk with us through the fire. Therefore, beloved, hold on to hope while you are going , and speak out your testimony when you come out of it.
II. DAUGHTER OF ZION, in John 16:33 Jesus Christ assures us that “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” The storm is temporary. God is eternal. God is walking right now with you through that valley. In Psalm 23:4 we are encouraged that “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” David didn’t say “sit in the valley” or “die in the valley". He said, "Walk through the valley.” Thank God that you are just going through it. Let me assure you that God is working with you through the trial. In Romans 5:3-4, “We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” , God is shaping you. God is using the pressure to produce in you perseverance, character, and a hope that does not disappoint. Gold is purified through fire, not by avoiding it. And as you go , when you get to where you cannot walk, God will carry you. Isaiah 43:2: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you." When you walk through the fire, you will be unharmed; the flames will not set you ablaze.
III. MY BELOVED SISTERS, God’s promise is not “no waters". His promise is “you will not drown". His promise is not “no fire". His promise is “you will not be consumed". Beloved, through job loss, through sickness, through grief, through betrayal, through depression... do not lose hope. Anchor your soul, for God is with you . Hebrews 6:19 reminds us that "we have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. "Beloved, your valley was not just for you. Your victory is a voice for someone else. God comforts us to comfort others. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” , God never comforts you just to make you feel better. He comforts you to make you become a healer. Your story of “how God brought you through” is someone else’s survival guide. So stand firm . Revelation 12:11 reminds us that “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” You can only get testimonies .
IV. MY DEAR BROTHERS, the enemy hates your testimony because it proves that God is still faithful and got you out of it. When you say, “I was sick, but , God healed me. I was broke, but God provided. I wanted to give up at a point through it, but God held me. "You are preaching the gospel without a pulpit. You are encouraging someone with your testimonies. Psalm 107:2 “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.” Have you been delivered? Have you gone ? Are you going ? You have a testimony to share to strengthen the brethren. The children of Israel built altars and erected stones of remembrance after they had gone through the Jordan. Joshua 4:6-7 Don’t go through your Red Sea and stay silent. Tell your children, tell your church, tell the world: “This is what the Lord did for me.” This is a DIVINE NEW DAY PROPHETIC WORD of encouragement sent forth through the authority and power of Christ Jesus and delivered to the brethren through God's vessel, Francis Ameyibor. Yes! Joseph: Sold, jailed, forgotten... but _, God made him a prime minister to save nations.
V. 2026 IS OUR YEAR AND SEASON TO BE LIFTED UP—Job: Lost everything... but he said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” Paul: Shipwrecks, beatings, prison... but he wrote, “I have learnt to be content whatever the circumstances.” Jesus: The ultimate “". Through the cross, through the grave... to resurrection and glory.
