DATE: SATURDAY APRIL 11TH 2026

TOPIC: REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE

MEMORISE:

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. - (Psalm 46:1)

BIBLE READING: EZEKIEL 37:1-10 (KJV)

1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.

4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.

5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

MESSAGE:

God has many attributes. He is called the Almighty (Genesis 17:1), which means that He has all might and power and can do all things. In Jeremiah 32:27, He is called the God of all flesh to whom nothing is too difficult. Isaiah 40:28 tells us that He is the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. Psalm 115:3 says that our God is in the heavens and does as He pleases. In Revelation 1:8, He is called Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. He is also called the One who was, is, and is to come. This means that in Him, the past, the present, and the future come together. He is the Almighty who reverses the irreversible.

A man once had problems with one of his kidneys and was spending #200,000 weekly on dialysis. For a kidney problem like his, the best solution doctors can proffer is a kidney transplant if they can find a suitable donor. Even with such transplants, success is not guaranteed. The man was sitting somewhere in the congregation during one of our services when the Lord said, "Receive your healing." Instantly, he became healed. This is what only the Almighty God can do; He can reverse what men have deemed hopeless. I don't know of any medication that can change an SS blood genotype to AA, but I have heard many testimonies of the Almighty God doing this. He alone can reverse the irreversible. As we read in today's Bible reading, He can make dry bones live again. He alone can turn a completely hopeless situation around for the better.

The story of the dry bones in today's Bible reading also reveals the kind of people who will experience such miracles. The dry bones were completely helpless, but I have discovered, in my little walk with God, that He delights in helping the helpless. My God is the helper of the helpless; He is called the Ever-present Help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).

Beloved, if you are currently in a situation that seems hopeless, turn to God like David did and say, "My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth" (Psalm 121:2). He will step into your situation and help you. I pray that God will reverse any situation that people have considered to be completely hopeless in your life. He will glorify Himself in such situations and give you a wonderful testimony, in Jesus' name. 

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please arise for my help in everything that concerns me, in Jesus' name.

HYMN 22 SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER 

1 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! 

That calls me from a world of care, 

And bids me at my Father's throne 

Make all my wants and wishes known. 

In seasons of distress and grief, 

My soul has often found relief, 

And oft escaped the tempter's snare 

By thy return, sweet hour of prayer! 

2 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! 

The joys I feel, the bliss I share 

Of those whose anxious spirits burn with strong desires for thy return! 

With such I hasten to the place 

Where God my Savior shows His face, 

And gladly take my station there, 

And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer! 

3 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! 

Thy wings shall my petition bear 

To Him whose truth and faithfulness 

Engage the waiting soul to bless. 

And since He bids me seek His face, 

Believe His word, and trust His grace, 

I'll cast on Him my every care, 

And wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer!

God bless you as you share.

TOPIC: PERMANENT MIRACLES

MEMORISE

I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. - (Ecclesiastes 3:14)

READ: John 5:1-14 (KJV)

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

MESSAGE

One of my spiritual sons, who is from a very wealthy home, had cancer of the jawbone. He had access to the best doctors in Europe, but after they had treated him for a while, they told his parents to take him back home to Nigeria because he had just two weeks to live. His parents were devastated. When they arrived in Nigeria, they decided to bring him to Redemption City, and my faith was shaken when I saw him. The boy had trouble eating because of his illness; his head was terribly swollen, and it usually took him about an hour to finish a bottle of soft drink. I pulled myself together, prayed for him as is expected of a pastor, and God healed him. This happened 43 years ago, and to the glory of God, he is still alive today, married with children. God gave him a testimony that is still valid today. I pray that God will give you a permanent miracle, in Jesus' name.

One of the most amazing things that happens when God visits a man is that He brings permanent solutions. Mark 10:46-52 tells the story of a blind man named Bartimaeus. When he was told that Jesus was coming, he knew he would never beg again. That was why he threw his garment - the symbol of his shame, darkness, and blindness - away. I am sure that the moment he received his sight, he never begged again - his testimony was permanent. Some people have had miracles and lost them. Some have received something precious from God but have lost it out of carelessness. In the name that is above every other name, the testimony God will give you will last forever.

Beloved, the only way the miracles and testimonies you receive from God will be permanent is when you flee sin. Today's Bible reading tells us the story of a man who had been sick for 38 years; Jesus healed him, and he was happy. However, when Jesus saw him again, He warned him not to engage in sin anymore because if he did, something worse could happen to him. When someone who has been delivered by God from the path of destruction jumps back into sin, the devil can torment and torture that fellow as he pleases. If you have gone back into sin, return to Jesus today and ask Him to save you. He will graciously restore you when you return to Him wholeheartedly. 

KEY POINT

To make your miracles permanent, never toy with sin.

Now as on Jesus we call!

TOPIC: MULTIPLIED PEACE

MEMORISE

Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them. - (Psalm 199:165)

READ: Daniel 6:25-28 (KJV)

25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.

26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.

27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

28 So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

MESSAGE

In some cultures, kings often greet their subjects by saying "Peace be multiplied unto you." In Daniel 6:25, when King Darius was writing to all his subjects after Daniel had escaped the lions' den unhurt, he started his letter with "Peace be multiplied unto you." Also, in the New Testament, each time Apostle Paul wrote to the various churches, he would start by greeting them, "Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father" (Romans 1:7), (1 Corinthians 1:3), (2 Corinthians 1:2), (Galatians 1:3). Likewise, Peter, in his letters, often wrote, "Peace be multiplied unto you" (1 Peter 1:2) and (2 Peter 1:2). All of these greetings make us understand that peace can increase, and it can be multiplied. Even if you feel that you already have peace and there is nothing to worry about, you should always pray that your peace will be multiplied. If peace can bring so much rest, multiplied peace can bring much more.

Years ago, I was returning from Britain to Nigeria on the same flight as a great man of God and his wife. According to his testimony, which I heard later on, he told his wife during the flight that since Daddy G.O. was on the plane with them, there was absolutely nothing to worry about. When we were halfway through the journey, the plane encountered severe turbulence, and the entire cabin began to shake. According to the man of God, he got up at that moment, looked at where I was seated on the plane, and saw that I was fast asleep. He then returned to his seat and told his wife that there was absolutely nothing to worry about because "Daddy is sleeping." He said that seeing me sleeping at that moment multiplied the peace he already had.

When you experience multiplied peace from God, every form of trouble or fear will be far from you. In John 14:27, Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." I pray that the peace of the Lord will be multiplied unto you today, in Jesus' name.

Beloved, the secret to enjoying multiplied peace from God is revealed in today's memory verse - loving Him and His law. If you indeed want your peace to be multiplied, you must love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:37), and obey His commandments at all times. 

PRAYER POINT

Father, please multiply Your peace in all areas of my life, in Jesus' name. 

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A. ADEBOYE 

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR

2 Samuel 23 - 24

HYMN 29 - WHEN PEACE LIKE A RIVER ATTENDETH MY WAY 

1. When peace, like a river attendeth my way, 

When sorrows, like sea billows roll; 

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to know, 

It is well, it is well with my soul 

CHORUS

It is well, ... With my soul, ... 

It is well, it is well with my soul. 

2. Though Satan should buffet, 

Though trials should come, 

Let this blest assurance control, 

That Christ hath regarded my Helpless estate, 

And hath shed His own blood for my soul. 

3. My sin o, the bliss of this 

glorious thought, 

My sin not in part, but the whole,

Is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more: 

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul. 

4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live! 

If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,

Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul. 

5. But the Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, 

The sky, not the grave, is our goal: 

Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord! 

Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul.

God bless you as you share.
