If Everything Is Going Wrong In Your Life Right Now by Rev. Sam Oye: MP3 Download & Sermon Notes

One of the things that the Lord has spoken to us about is that we've entered into the season where stories must change. It can't be what it has always been. If it's bad, it's got to be good. If it's good, it can become great. If it's been great, it can become greater. The Bible says that the man began to prosper, continued prospering until he became prosperous. There was no stopping him. The story kept on changing until the fullness of the glory of God was made evident and evidenced in his own life.

In the sixth month, the angel of the Lord Gabriel showed up in the city of Nazareth, which is in Galilee. And Nazareth happens to be a place where they say nothing good comes out of such a place. Can anything good come out of Nazareth?

This is not a motivational speaking — this is prophetic. I'm here to let you know by the spirit of God that good is coming out of your Nazareth. Not just good — Jesus was not just good, Jesus was the greatest of all times, and the greatest of all times came out of the worst of all places. Don't write yourself off.

There is a God who is always drawn to the ignored. When the Lord saw that Leah was ignored and despised, God said, "I'm about to show you that I'm the God of the despised." And God made it so that Leah — the one that was considered to be the worst of the two, the one that is not loved, the one that is not considered to be of any value to Jacob — that was the same person that God decided to bless miraculously. By the time Rachel was dead, Leah was still alive. Don't let anyone write you off.

If you are still breathing, if you are still living, God still has a plan for your life. Don't let their attitude make you put a full stop on your life or make you make conclusions about your story. Their attitude is not God's disposition. How they think of you, what they say about you, is not God's opinion or God's verdict concerning your life.

Yesterday is not the final prediction of what your future will look like. The failures and the falls of yesterday by no means make any sense in terms of conclusion about what tomorrow is going to look like. It only just meant you failed yesterday. And some of the most successful people in life have had to come from several falls to become all that God has made them to be.

In one day, I trusted a young man into limelight. In one day, I made him become the second in command of an Egyptian country. I made Esther become a queen in one night of appearance, I trusted her into the position of glory. Can a nation be born in a day? With God, all things are possible.

I'm decreeing and declaring — jobs you've never thought will ever come to you, contracts, positions. They don't want to give you the job, but they will end up giving it to you. They don't want you in that office, but they're going to end up putting you in the same office. They've tried to skip you out, but they're going to find you in — because we serve a God who has the capacity to put in us what men hold back from us, give to us what men keep back from us.
