Will culminate today. The Resurrection Day is quite significant. I will believe that the power of His resurrection, He's going to bring forth divine restoration, divine compensation, divine healing, divine deliverance, divine provision, divine solution, and a new beginning for many of you listening to God's Word today.
A Father, now God, we thank You. We appreciate Your faithfulness in our lives. You are a great Restorer. You are the Builder. Well, thank You for Your word has been coming. Evil in the preceding sessions. And Lord, as we receive Your word in this closing part of these series of messages on the trials of the righteous, we pray, Lord, that the entrance, the entrance of Your word will bring forth light and understanding onto Your sons and daughters. Even as we listen, we pray, Lord Almighty, that Your word would bring healing, Lord, bring deliverance, let Your word bring hope, let Your word bring direction, let Your word bring a great restoration, and let You open the door for a new beginning onto everyone looking up to You at this point in time. In summary, all of their lives, or the life of a very dear one, in Jesus' name. Amen.
So once again, we welcome to the presence of the Lord. And today, by the grace of God, we shall do a recap.
[Music]
On a series of teachings on the trials of the righteous. And in the last three sessions, we have looked at different lessons. I will be able to highlight six of them. And today, in the closing part, in this closing part, we shall share with you the seventh lesson in the trials of the righteous.
The first lesson told us that the trials are always foreseen by God long before they happen. A second lesson, we learned that some trials are not avoidable. They are not avoidable. Another third lesson, we learned that there is always a purpose for which trials are allowed to happen. And we, this issue of purposes, is quite important. And so for that reason, we had to give some illustrations and insight on some of these common purposes for which God allows an innocent person to go through trials, go through affliction, sometimes for very prolonged period of time, or to very, very extensive magnitudes.
The first purpose we identified is that some trials are allowed to happen in order to examine the degree of your faith, obedience, and commitment to God. The second purpose we identified is that to achieve or receive greater things, we may sometimes have to pay a great price or pass a great test. Another third purpose why God allows His children or even arranges His trials to come is that your level of strength and maturity will be tested through the process of your trials. And then the fourth purpose is that some trials are actually a blessing in disguise. Yes, some trials are actually a blessing in disguise. And then the fifth purpose is that trials are sometimes meant to push you into your optimum potentials or to move you forward into the next plan of God for you. And then a sixth purpose why God permits trials is that sometimes God will decide to make a particular person a living proof or evidence of His ability to do something that is naturally impossible.
And then the lesson number four, we learned that sometimes the durations of such trials are intentionally selected by God. And then lesson number five is that trials of the righteous always have an end. And that is good news for you, good news for your family, good news for your nation, good news for that platform now you are connected to. The trials of the righteous are never forever. Most divinely permitted trials are predetermined to aim at a particular point in time. And then the sixth lesson was that there's right and wrong ways of handling trials. There are right and wrong ways of handling trials.
So today, by the special grace of God, we are looking at the seventh lesson. And the seventh lesson tells us that most of the time, the trials of the righteous always end with restoration, compensation, and promotion. This is good news. This is good news. Most of the time, the trials of the righteous always end with restoration. Can I hear you say "Restoration"? It always ends with compensation. It always ends with promotion.
Please quickly look at what God says, what the Scriptures tells us in Romans chapter 8 verse 28. Romans 8 verse 28. And I will be using speaking from the amplified Bible. And he says, "And we know with great confidence that God, who is deeply concerned about us, causes all things, all things to work together as a plan for good." So what was initially a trial, painful experience, terrible experience, God saw ahead, permitted it for a purpose, and He will deliberately inflame the way things will go. Then at the end of the day, everything will be for your good. I need to end in a testimony for those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose.
Abraham, in his absolute obedience to the will and the instructions of God, went forth and took this footstep to be God. And at the end of the test, in Genesis 22:16-18, you could see what eventually happened. You could see how his test ended. Read from the Living Bible, Genesis 22:16-18. He says, "I, the Lord, have sworn that by myself, that because you have obeyed me and have not withheld even your beloved son from me, that was a test. That was a test. I will bless you with what incredible blessings." This is how your trial will end. This is how your test will end. This is how the adversity you have been exposed to will end. It is going to end now with God releasing incredible blessings upon you, incredible blessings upon your family, incredible blessings upon your ministry, in the name of Jesus. Let the Lord hear your voice this morning as you say louder, "Amen." He says, "What I will bless you with incredible blessings and multiply your descendants into countless thousands and millions like the stars above in the sky and like the suns along the seashore. They will conquer their enemies, and your offspring will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth." All because you have obeyed me. Many times, your own test is going to come with God prompting you to do something that many others will not obey. But if only you will obey God, I can assure you that that exposure to that test is going to end with a big blessing.
Another classic example is found in Philippians chapter 2, verse 5 to 11. After all that Jesus had gone through for our sake and for the sake of humanity, at the end of the trials that Jesus suffered, in Philippians chapter 2, 5 to 11, read from the Living Bible. He says, "Your attitude should be the act, the kind I was shown by Jesus Christ. Who, though He was God, did not demand and cling to His rights as God, but laid aside His mighty power and glory, taking the disguise of His slave and becoming like men. And He humbled Himself even further, going so far as actually to die a criminal's death on the cross." That was a trial. That was a climax of the trial. And then see what happened. Verse 9, "Yet it was because of these that God raised Him up." God is about to raise you up in your spiritual life, in ministry, in your marital life, in your career, in your business, in your area of major calling in life. God is about to raise you up. Lord, hear you say, "Amen." "It was because of these that God raised Him up to the heights of heaven and gave Him something will be given to you, something will be handed over, something will be bestowed. Hold on. You haven't passed the test. And gave Him a name which is above every other name. There at the name of Jesus, every knee, every knee, every knee, irrespective of their status, every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Praise Lord. Hallelujah. This is awesome.
So have it in mind that the trials of the righteous are never allowed to happen just for the pain or just for the damage. God won't just allow all that allow you to go through all of what you've gone through just for the pain, just for the damage. That is not the ultimate plan of God. Something so today, by the special grace of God, we are looking at the seventh lesson. And the seventh lesson tells us that most of the time, the trials of the righteous always end with restoration, compensation, and promotion. This is good news. This is good news. Most of the time, the trials of the righteous always end with restoration. Can I hear you say "Restoration"? It always ends with compensation. It always ends with promotion.

So what was initially a trial, painful experience, terrible experience, God saw ahead, permitted it for a purpose, and He will deliberately inflame the way things will go. Then at the end of the day, everything will be for your good. I need to end in a testimony for those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose.

It is going to end now with God releasing incredible blessings upon you, incredible blessings upon your family, incredible blessings upon your ministry, in the name of Jesus. Let the Lord hear your voice this morning as you say louder, "Amen." He says, "What I will bless you with incredible blessings and multiply your descendants into countless thousands and millions like the stars above in the sky and like the suns along the seashore.

Verse 9, "Yet it was because of these that God raised Him up." God is about to raise you up in your spiritual life, in ministry, in your marital life, in your career, in your business, in your area of major calling in life. God is about to raise you up. Lord, hear you say, "Amen."
Something good is going to ultimately happen. Every godly instance, every godly vessel that remained bearing for over ten years, some fifteen years, some twenty years, some like Elizabeth, forty years, like Sarah, for so many years, we read in the Bible, we are all later blessed to children of great destinies. So it's like for the long period you have waited, there is a divine compensation. For the Lord's people you have waited, there is a real big divine compensation. Now, what you will ultimately get, which you should have received earlier from Him, when it finally comes, it's something extraordinary, something special, something better than the common. And so God is about to release to you. I perceive in my spirit, God speaking to a couple right now that has been waiting on the Lord for the fruit of the womb. God is about to give to you the blessings of the fruit of the womb that would birth children of a great destiny. Come on, children that God's hand of greatness will be upon right from this very beginning, in the name of Jesus.
And when the trials are finally over, God will ensure now you never remain the same. I see one of the good things that happens with the trials, with God-fearing men and women. Good shoe is that there is transformation. For some people, at the end of your trials, you are no longer fearful. You are no more fearful. Like Peter, Peter went through his season of trials, you know, when he was being persecuted along with Jesus, and at the time he denied Jesus three times. That was the process. He who still went through a little more of it. But when that process was over, it was, we saw a different man. We now saw a fearless man who was bold enough to preach the gospel anywhere, in the midst of strength and intimidation. So when your trial, when the trials are over, many come out of it, and they are no more fearful. You become bolder because you have seen, you have gone through something. You become bolder. Some of you become stronger. But some of you, you become fortified. You become fortified. You become fortified. You become fortified because in the process of your trials, you now have to go into a deeper level of prayer, deeper level of intercession, deeper level of spiritual warfare. In the process of your trials, in the process of the battle you faced with during your trials, you went through all that, and in the process of going through that, you entered into a higher level of spiritual fortification.
[Music]
It is quite instructive that before Jesus went on the field in ministry, He was deliberately taken into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by Satan for 40 days. So by the time He was done in a one-on-one encounter with Satan himself, there was definitely no principality, no power, no spiritual wickedness in high places. There was no witch or wizard, no occultist, there was no spirit of peralta stronghold or human entity anywhere that would have been bold enough or strong enough to give Him a greater resistance in ministry than what He had already encountered in the 40-day encounter He started with against Satan.
I want to declare to you this morning, but when the season of the end of your, the end of your trials comes, one thing you have in mind is to expect divine restoration. And I'm here this morning, I'm here right now declaring by the Spirit of God the big killing of the commencement, the beginning of the season of your moment of divine restoration. And if that is what you are about to receive, then it is good for me to throw some light on what the various duration is made up of. In Ezekiel chapter 37, verse 1 to 14, as Ezekiel 37, 1 to 47, things come out of that encounter. A prophet Ezekiel, God, nothing is too hard for God to restore. I don't know what has happened so far, but I'm telling you by the Spirit of God that nothing is ever too hard for God to restore. Secondly, nothing is too late for God to restore. It is never too late for God to restore. And then of course, nothing is too big for God to restore. Nothing is too big. So when He decides, and when the time comes for Him to begin to restore things, He's able to restore things back to the original size. He's able to restore things back to the original number.
And talking about numbers, it's quite instructive. The truth during his trials lost ten children on the same day to satanic attacks. And it's quite instructive that when God restored him, God gave him another ten children. And all the other things that he lost, God gave him even twice the number, twice the portion. So what should you expect? When Joseph had been elevated by God in Egypt, and his brothers had really gone to Egypt and met him, and he sent word to his father, and the father heard that your son, your son, your son, your son that you thought all these years was dead, is alive. It was an incredible, an incredible news. I declare to someone listening to me right now that within a short time from today, the lot of mighty will cause you to hear an incredible news, a great testimony will come forth on your behalf, in the name of Jesus.
And so immediately, the spirit of Jacob was restored, was revived. To all these years, his spirit was down. Doesn't mean that all those years Jacob was in laughing, he wasn't smiling, but the truth was that even though he was smiling publicly, he was laughing publicly, his spirit was down for so many years. But God did something, and in one day, in one day, by reason of an act of God, the spirit of that man that had been down for so many years was revived. May the Most High God revive your spirit. May the Most High God revive the spirit of that loved one that has been depressed, discouraged for such a long time. Can the Lord hear you say "Amen"?
And Psalm 103 verse 5, he said, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." And verse 11, he said, "The Lord has turned my mourning into dancing." Verse 5, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning." So your, your season, your moment of weeping, I don't know how long, but it cannot be forever. And at the end, it won't just end, it's going to end for joy, with a new season of joy, a new season of happiness. And the Lord Almighty will turn your mourning into dancing. Praise ye the Lord.
Now, another interesting theme that happens at the end of trials is that damage and losses from the trial will be divinely restored. Whatever damage, whatever loss you have suffered, divine including devastating losses, it's never too much. It's never so much for God to restore. All the damage and losses from the trials will be divinely restored. You will enjoy total restoration at the end. In Job chapter 42, verse 10, you can see the testimony of how it ended for Job. God restored him, and not only restored him, gave him twice all of those material things that he had lost. The lost time will be recovered. Your lost time will be recovered. Your wasted years will be recovered.
Also, another interesting thing that will happen in this season is that it will be your time, your season to experience God's mercy. Though here is going to be your season to experience God's mercy. You may have God's Word in some one or two, verse 13, "Thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Zion, for the time to favor her, yea, the set time has come." In the New Living Translation, Psalm 102:13, "You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem. Now is the time to pity her." God will show compassion on you, show compassion on your loved ones, show compassion on that nation, the people of that nation going through a prolonged period of oppression and bad leadership. Now is the time. You promised to help. So when this time finally comes, it usually, some things will happen when you enter into the end of your trials, when you, the set time, the set time comes, and your trial ended, and it's now time for God to prove Himself faithful. It's usually a time of vindication. Psalm 105:19, for some people, it would be a time of vindication. All those who thought God had left you will be compelled to swallow their words. All those who felt that God was no longer with you will be compelled to swallow their words. It would be a time of vindication. Those who told you that your vision was a fake one, your dream was never from God, because they had not seen the fulfillment. But those prophecies you had heard concerning a particular promise of God were not genuine prophecies. Everyone will be shocked because finally you'll be vindicated.
It's also a time of harvest of delayed blessings. Galatians 6:9 is a time of harvest of delayed blessings. Oh yes, it's a due season. The new season, the new season, the new season is a time where certain things have been predetermined to be given to you, to be done for you, to be done on your behalf. They were just waiting for that point in time. That is what it looks like when you come to the end of your trial. It's also a time of restoration. We've shared a few themes on that a few moments ago. And for some people, the end of trials is the time of unknown divine honor. First Peter chapter 5, verse 6. First Peter number 5, verse 6. God will honor you big time. God will honor you big time. In the name of Jesus. And for some of you, for some people too, it's been the end of trials marks a moment of the event promotion. Can I hear you say "Promotion"? If you are sure that is coming your way, say "Promotion." As such, chapter 6, verse 1 to 2, is the time of divine promotion. And then for some people, when the end of trials comes, it's a time of rejoicing. A time of rejoicing. Psalm 30 verse 11, "God has turned my mourning into dancing." Mourning into dancing. The end of trials is a time of restoration, the time of harvest, is a time of promotion, is a time of honor, especially for those who continue to obey God despite great odds. Many people told you to stop judging, stop praying, stop whatever dimensions of commitment you were expressing towards God and His kingdom, but you, you ignored their words and you held on to your convictions. At the end of your season of trial, it will be a time of restoration, harvest, promotion, and honor. You won't miss your divine promotion. It's a time when those who have sincerely followed God's Word and direction are finally vindicated. Whether or not you claim you did in obedience to divine linen, whether or not God truly spoke, will be vindicated at the end of a season, at the particular time.
The trials of the righteous always have an end. I want to reassure you today. Have it in mind, the trials of the righteous always have an end. Ecclesiastes chapter 3, verse 4, "For everything on heaven, there is a time and there is a season." Trials also have their own time. The trials of the righteous are never forever. And you see, most of them are predetermined to aim at a particular point in time. Sometimes the duration of your trials will be based on time or space of time. For instance, Israel was to be in Egypt for 400 years. God told Abraham in Genesis 15:13-14. And then sometimes the duration could also be based on a particular limit of what God would permit you to be exposed to in the circumstance of your trial. And that is why you see God reassuring us by His word in 1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13. I read some versions and did we bring it out clearly to you. First Corinthians chapter 10 verse 13, The Message Bible. It says, "No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the cost of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down. God will never let you down. He will never let you be pushed past your limit." So there is a limit, and when it gets to that limit, then your season, that trial must stop, and all these promises of what happens at the end of trial will begin to play out on behalf of those who pass the test.
The Voice version of the Bible, First Corinthians 10 verse 13, it says, "Any temptation you face will be nothing new. So please be encouraged. Don't engage and indulge in self-pity. It is nothing new. Others have gone through it, and you are not the first, and you will not be the last. Say, but God is faithful and He will not let you to be tempted beyond what you can handle. Beyond what you can handle." There are responsibilities that you can handle. There are burdens you can handle. But there are, there are measures of responsibilities and burdens that can break a man, break a woman, and sometimes even take the life of that man or take the life of that woman. And the Bible is telling us here that God knows the limit you can handle, the limit you can handle. So He would not allow to go beyond that point. The body will always provide a way of escape so that you'll be able to endure and keep moving forward. You will keep moving forward.
Then the Easy-to-Read version, First Corinthians 10 verse 13, Easy-to-Read version. He says, "The only temptation that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can't trust God. And I can confirm that you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can be, more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation, then you'll be able to endure it." Then the New Life translation, New Life fashion of First Corinthians 10 verse 13. He said, "You have never been tempted to sin in any different way than other people. God is faithful. He will not allow you to be tempted more than you can take. More than you can take." The way in which you are tempted, He will make a way for you to keep from falling into sin. And the New Living Translation, New Living Translation, First Corinthians 10 verse 13. He says, "The temptations in your life are not different from what others experience. And God is faithful. God is faithful. He would not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand."
So sometimes you hear people say, "I can't bear it anymore. I can't take it anymore. I can't stand this anymore." And when you hear that consistently from someone who was initially very patient in handling that same issue, most of the time it is a sign that that person has come to the breaking point. And our God is faithful. At that breaking point, something would definitely give way, shall divine influence and intervention, and it will end in your favor. Let the Lord hear you say "Amen." It will end in your favor.
So your current trial would soon come to an end. I declare to you this day that your current trial will soon be over, and you will have a testimony. The days of your trials are not bad. Although you may not know the exact time, the exact month, week, or day that a trial will end, but the days are numbered. For instance, although Jesus was in the grave for two days, the grave was only a temporary experience. So whatever trial you are going through today is only a phase, only a temporary experience. Joseph was in the prison, it was only for some time. Are you lonely today? It's only for some time. Without children? It's only for some time. Overwhelmed with the measure of debt you can cope with? It's only for it. God is going to show mercy, and you are coming out of those financial challenges.
And then Psalm 126, verse 1 to 3. Psalm 126, verse 1 to 3. The New Living Translation. He says, "When the Lord brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream. We were filled with laughter and we sang for joy." God will fill you with laughter. I see you singing for joy, singing with great happiness and joy. Can I hear you say "Amen"? And the nation said, "What amazing things the Lord has done for them." Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us. What joy! And then the Message Bible, Psalm 126, verse 1 to 3. The Message Bible. He says, "It seemed like a dream. Watch out, watch out, too. Watch out for what is coming. Watch out for what is about to happen. Watch out for what God is about to do. It seemed like a dream, too good to be true, but it is true. This is not a fake one. This is for real. Too good to be true." When God returns Zion's exiles, sometimes you hear some prophecies and it looks like, "Can this really happen?" "Can this really happen?" But we've seen them happen, and sometimes even greater and better than how it was even prophesied. He said, "We laughed, we sang, we couldn't believe our good fortune. We had a talk of it." You will so become the talk of the town this time for good. Do you know that at a time people sat down to jest and talk about Elizabeth and came to acquaint where many of such people started describing her as the barren woman to the essence that when an angel who stands in the presence of God, the angel Gabriel came down to the earth, was delivering a message to Mary, the mother of Jesus, he said, "Your cousin Elizabeth, she that was called barren." So even heaven was aware of the negative identity that the trials of Elizabeth had brought upon her. But it will interest you to note that this same Elizabeth subsequently became the talk of the town. He says in Psalm 126, "We will be the talk of the nations." Very soon, your testimony will be flying around on social media to the glory of God, to the glory of God. Preachers, pastors, ministers will be preaching in different locations using your story as a great testimony to back up the truth that is hidden in the Word of God. Can I hear that man, that woman, can I hear that family, that couple, say "Loud Amen"? Wherever you are, get ready. Something great is coming.
There is something like I shared earlier, we're talking about the end of the time. There is something to learn from a Chinese bamboo tree. In his first year, though we see no visible signs of growth inside, in spite of providing all the things that are required to grow, beyond that level, it remains on the ground. In the second year, there is no growth above the ground. In the third year, no growth above the ground. The fourth year, no growth above the ground. No signs of anything happening. No signs of life. No signs that, you know, there is, there is the life of God in this thing. But then, but then, but then finally, in the fifth year, something amazing happens.
[Music]
Something amazing happens. The Chinese bamboo tree grows 80 feet tall in just six weeks. Six weeks. Eighty feet tall. Our, you know, when that happens, it not only catches up, it overtakes. You will catch up and overtake. Your turning point is coming. Your turning point is here. I want to close by reassuring you that your reward is unstoppable. Can I hear you say it? Confess that and proclaim that boldly, "My reward from God is unstoppable." Say it a second time, "My reward from God is unstoppable." And then say it a third time, "My reward from God is unstoppable." In fact, you are unstoppable in this new season, in the name of Jesus.
Let me tell you something. Nobody prayed for the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, yet God raised Him because a time had come, and all wisdom on the exact day that He had promised He would. Nobody fasted for the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, yet God raised Him from the dead on the specified day. Nobody gave a sacrificial offering to God for the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, yet God raised Him from the dead on the specified day. And now brings us to God's Word in Hebrews chapter 10, verse 36 to 37. Hebrews 10:36 says, "For you have need of patience, we have need of patience, that after we have done the will of God, we might then receive His promises." After we have done the will of God, sometimes between the manifestation of the move of God, the promise of God, and what your billions will be, a period that demands patience. So there will come a time when you would have done all that is expected, and a particular thing that must happen next will be the absolute responsibility of God to make it happen. For Jesus, everything expected from Him was completed when He died on the cross, and it was on such a significant note that He could say, "It is finished." Everything expected from Him, He had on the fulfillment of the promise and prophecy of His resurrection on the third day was not absolutely the responsibility of God. There is something that must happen now in your life. Well, the good news is that you have fulfilled your part, and for that thing to happen, it is now the responsibility of God to demonstrate His power. And God is too awesome when it comes to that point. All that God was waiting for to make this miracle happen with the resurrection of Jesus was just the irreversible time that He had set, which for the resurrection of Jesus was the third day. The promise of God to resurrect Jesus on the third day was irreversible. That was why He couldn't be raised up on the first day, raised up on the second day. The plan of God to carry out the resurrection of Jesus on the third day was unstoppable.
I want to tell you that at this stage, you are now no witch or wizard, no power of darkness, no human entity can stop that which God has ordained for you to happen. The divinely appointed time of God to resurrect Jesus on the third day was inevitable. Oh yes, it was inevitable. The resurrection of Jesus Christ was an inevitable miracle waiting to happen. It was essential and setting as the appearance of day and night. It was as sure and certain as the appearance of night. Morning weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. For Jesus, the day that God will show Himself faithful, show His great power, was Sunday morning. The resurrection morning. And it got filled? No, God did not fail. God did not fail. I declare to you this day that God would not fail you.
Listening to the sound of my voice, just lift up on your hands right now. Lift up your hands. Lift up your hands. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead, the same God that raised Jesus from the dead, says to you right now, "It is a new beginning. It is a new dawn. Things have passed away. Whatever curse, whatever spell has affected you or your family, today that curse is broken. Today the spell is neutralized. Whatever spiritual attacks, breach, or manipulation had been slowing you down in life, today their power is made useless. Their power is nullified and neutralized in the name of Jesus. Whatever has been working against your progress in life and destiny, today that contrary power is terminated from its roots in the name of Jesus. From today, the Lord releases you into a new season. It's a new beginning. In your beginning, a new beginning in your beginning. It's your moment of restoration. It's a moment of compensation. It's your moment of vindication.
