GLORIOUS SUNDAY SERMON OF 14TH DECEMBER 2025 LESSON: PSALM 126:1-6 TOPIC: WHAT GOD CAN BIRTH OUT OF BROKE PLACES TEXT: When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream. Psalm 126:1(NKJV) INTRODUCTION: Sometimes a nation feels like clay that has slipped from the potter’s hands. Nigeria knows that feeling too well. Burnt villages. Empty schools. Scarred communities. It’s almost tempting to believe nothing good can rise from this rubble. But Scripture keeps interrupting that hopelessness with stories where God brings life out of cracked soil. Be blessed by the word in Jesus name! EXPOSITION [1] . GOD'S STARTING POINT Broken Places Are Often God’s Starting Points Maybe it sounds strange, but God has a habit of beginning where humans think it’s over. Joseph’s pit became a pathway to destiny. Israel’s exile became a doorway to restoration. In Psalm 147:3 we’re told He “heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Where we see ruins, heaven often sees raw material. [2] . A SEED OF GLOBAL REVIVAL Brokenness Awakens a New Kind of People Pain has a way of shaping courage. Think of Nehemiah. Jerusalem’s ruins didn’t crush him… they commissioned him. Nigeria’s trials can raise believers who pray deeper, think clearer, love stronger. Acts 8 shows how persecution scattered the early church, yet the scattering became a seed of global revival. God uses wounded people to build healed nations. [3] . HE HAS A BLUE PRINT God Never Leaves Ruins Without a Blueprint Even before restoration begins, God already has the map. Isaiah 61:4 speaks of His people “rebuilding the ancient ruins” and “restoring devastated cities.” The brokenness we see now is not the final architecture. God is designing a morning that will make sense of this midnight. We may not see the full picture yet… but He does. CONCLUSION: HE'S NOT FINISHED WITH NIGERIA YET God is not finished with Nigeria. And He is certainly not finished with His people. Out of these broken places, something stronger, purer, and God-shaped will rise. SHORT PRAYER: Father, breathe over the broken places of our nation. Birth healing, birth courage, birth renewal. Raise builders, intercessors, and witnesses. Let beauty rise from our ashes. Amen.

GLORIOUS SUNDAY SERMON OF 7TH DECEMBER 2025 LESSON: Romans 8:35-39 TOPIC: HOPE THAT OUTLIVES THE NIGHT! TEXT: .......Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5b (NKJV). INTRODUCTION: Nigeria feels like a land walking through a valley with bruised feet. Villages emptied. Christians hunted. Families sitting beside shallow graves. And yet, in the middle of this choking darkness, Scripture whispers a stubborn truth: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” It almost feels unfair to say… Yet, it has remained true across generations. Be abundantly blessed by the word in Jesus name! EXPOSITION: [1] THE NIGHT IS REAL, BUT IT IS NOT SOVEREIGN. Sometimes believers feel guilty for admitting pain, but Jesus Himself said, “In this world you will have tribulation” John 16:33. The night is not imaginary. It bleeds. It disrupts. It shakes faith. But it is not sovereign. Darkness does not own the clock. God does. Lamentations 3:22–23 reminds us that His mercies “are new every morning.” Morning is not controlled by terrorists, wicked rulers, or persecutors. Morning is a divine appointment. [2] GOD STORES TEARS, BUT HE NEVER WASTES THEM. David said, “You put my tears into Your bottle” Psalm 56:8. That means God is not indifferent to the agony of Christians in Nigeria. Every widow’s cry. Every displaced family. Every prayer whispered in fear. Pain is never wasted in His hands. Romans 8:28 is not a cliché… “All things work together for good.” It may not look like it now, but God is molding a testimony that will outlive the night. [3] MORNING COMES QUIETLY, BUT IT COMES SURELY Sometimes we expect morning to arrive with fireworks. But God often works like the dawn… slow, steady, impossible to stop. Psalm 46:5 says, “God will help her, and that right early.” Even when the night feels endless, heaven is already shifting things. Deliverance starts long before we see the sun. Nigeria will not remain in this valley. The Church has survived worse through history and always emerged stronger. CONCLUSION: The night we see now is not the prophecy of our end. God’s promise stands taller than our fears. Morning may look delayed, but it cannot be denied. So, in the midst of persecution, hold fast to God's promise—your night of tears is temporary; dawn brings unshakeable, unquenchable, victorious! joy! SHORT PRAYER: Lord, strengthen every persecuted believer in Nigeria. Let Your justice roll like waters. Surround Your people with protection, restore what has been stolen, and let the morning of peace rise over our land. Amen. HAPPY VICTORIOUS SUNDAY HAVE A TRIUMPHANT WEEK. THIS WEEK, YOU ARE A SUPER WINNER! SHALOM. JESUS LOVES YOU; AND, HE TRULY CARES FOR YOU. JOY IN THE MORNING OR NOT! JESUS IS COMING BACK AGAIN!!
