Vs 14. Then Jesus said to them plainly, "Lazarus is dead.
Vs 15. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him."
Vs 20. And Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
Vs 21. Now Martha said to Jesus , "Lord, if you had been here, my brother will rise again."
Vs 22. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
Oh no! Jesus, you came late! That was what Martha was telling the one who holds the key of death and hell! But thank God, SHE DID NOT STOP THERE. Verse 22 declares,
but EVEN NOW, I KNOW THAT WHATEVER YOU ASK OF GOD, GOD WILL GIVE YOU....
The spirit of God is saying to you today: "Don't give up! I am never late. Nothing can get too hopeless for me to reverse. Reversing the irreversible is the eternal duty of my victorious right hand". God is well able to do the impossible and reverse the irreversible ! Jesus told Martha:
Your brother will rise again
In this same spirit of faith, I declare concerning your life, "your womb will come back to life you will be fruitful! Any damaged or lifeless part of your body will work again in Jesus Name! your career and business will be hit by a strong wave of DIVINE FAVOUR again! You will increase on all sides in Jesus Name! What was stagnant will experience UNUSUAL PROMOTION! What was slow will run with NEW SPEED! Every yoke of death is swallowed up by the fire of the Holy Ghost.
No matter how your past has been, EVEN NOW, a new chapter will be opened! No matter how many disappointments you have encountered, EVEN NOW, they are being turned to divine appointments! No matter how terrible your story has been, EVEN NOW , a new story is about to begin! Yes, God can give you a second chance of celebration!
No matter how many people have hurt you or betrayed you, EVEN NOW, forgiveness must be your new song! Oh, Focus On Now And Not Then, Focus On Tomorrow And Not Yesterday! Focus On The Present And Not On The Past! If you can't say goodbye to your past, then you just can't say hello to your future!Refuse to give up.
Close with Kemmy Nola: "Don'y be defined by your past, your past is the tutor of your present and is always preparing you for a new experience. Forget about disappointment or your past mistake that is keeping you from moving forward. It's never too late to begin again ." Martha said, "EVEN NOW", and that must be your slogan no matter how your life has been! Refuse to cry.
