IT IS NEVER TOO LATE

Regardless of the magnitude of your challenges God says it is never, never, too late. You may be forty years and heading towards forty five yet no one had propose to you, you feel so discourage and the enemy whispers to your ears and tells you it is too late but God says it is not too late.

You have been in incarceration for a long time and now that you have been released all your dream and aspiration are shattered and the enemy sits on your shoulder and says it is too late but I came to tell you as a servant of the Most High that in the hope of the resurrection it can never be late for you.

Maybe you are sick and moved from one physician to the other and the report is not good they are telling you your health situation is hopeless and it is too late but I came here to give you a fresh report concerning your health that according to the word of God the things that seem impossible to men are possible to God, it’s never too late.

Our character chapter on this theme is John 11 and the supporting scriptures are:
 Matthew 19:26
“Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” 
Mark 10:26
“Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” 
Luke 1:37
“For no word from God will ever fail.” 

We find it repeated in scripture that all things that are impossible to man are possible to God. We find a peace talk between Jesus, Mary and Martha in the New Testament in John 11:5.

Note that from the passage the love of Jesus for Lazarus was unquestionable. This is a story about a whole family. It was believed that anytime Jesus is going to Jerusalem, he spends the night with this family before he continues his journey the next day in a nut shell they were family friends and one will expect Jesus to behave as such.

The Bible says Lazarus was sick to the point of dead and Mary and Martha sent message to Jesus beyond the Jordan. The word came to Jesus that his good friend is sick unto dead. When Jesus heard this he said “This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God’s glory so that God’s Son may be glorified through it.”

He stays two more days because of the love that he had for the family. Naturally one will expect he will rush to the scene but on the contrary he stayed two more days because of his love for them.

How many Christians have forsaken Jesus because he stayed two more days or two more years, the devil sits on your shoulder and says he has stayed two more days, two more years, 10 more years, he does not love you but remember that is a lie from the bottomless pit of the enemy to frustrate your faith. 

You are praying to God to do something in your life, you expect a miracle from God so you pray and fast about the situation believing God for a miracle and yet because God loves you he stays another year or two. It does not mean He has forgotten about you, neither has He forsaken you. He wants your miracle to be spectacular, not an ordinary miracle for God is not limited by time for He is in no hurry, for the things that seems impossible to man are possible to him.

The Bible say after two days he started the journey to Bethany and “When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed at home.  “Lord,” Martha said to Jesus, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.” 

We see a discourage heart, in other words Martha was saying it is too late though we appreciate your coming for he has been in the grave for four days and there is nothing you can do but Jesus looked at her and said “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 

God is telling you to only believe, if only you will hang in there you will see the Glory of the Lord manifestation. It is never too late don’t you ever give up, do not be discourage it’s going to happen. 

At the tomb Jesus had divine compassion flowing out of his bowels “Jesus wept. Then the Jews said, “See how he loved him!” As Jesus looked on he cried, I want you to understand you are not alone in that situation, the Lord is fully aware of all your grievances and he is moved and touched by it. 

He is touched by your trials, infirmities, weaknesses and disappointments. Hebrews says “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need”. Some of us we groan and cry our hearts out at night thinking we are alone but he is standing right there with us in our grieve.

Jesus said roll the stone away and they disputed with him and the onlookers will be saying what is this that the carpenters’ son wants to do by exhuming a dead body against tradition?

All indications point to the fact that it will not happen but the word of God does the difference. Jesus prevailed over them and they roll out the stone, all the doubting mourners were present, the fact is they need to be there to see your glorification. Jesus called unto his father Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face”. 

Someone you will be loosed from whatever is hindering your progress, there are some of us we take two steps forward and 10 steps backwards you are retrogressing in your life for the enemy had bound you with chains and fetters but by the anointing you are being released and success, progress and victory will be yours.

You have to roll the stone of bitterness, grunginess, doubt, stinginess and allow God to come into the situation for you to see your miracle. Remember the things that seems impossible to men is possible to God, It’s never too late with God what God has purpose to accomplish in your life will surely come to pass.

Are you discourages, going through a situation that you feel it’s over, your dream and aspirations are shattered, God is able to help you put the broken pieces together again.

The race is not for the swift or the strong and promotion cometh from God. The Bible says it is the Lord that gives power to make rich and unless the Lord watched they labor in vain they that watch and the psalmist says it is God that prosper me and give me hope to succeed.

My brother, my sister, what is your situation?! It’s like never going to happen, there is no hope, I am here to tell you it is never too late, it will come to past if only you believe like Job who said though he slay me yet will I trust him. Though things may be falling apart in your life still have faith with the little strength in you.

I pray that every yoke will be broken by the authority of the word of God. I speak answers and solution into your life. Once he has spoken he watches over his word to perform, once it’s written about you not a single word will fall to the ground because he is not man, any blockage we destroy and come out of the tomb claiming our freedom.

GOD BLESS.
