The New Easter Message 

1. When the time that God has set for your breakthrough comes, you will break through your problems. 

When the three days that Jesus had said had passed, and the time for Him to leave the tomb arrived, He left the tomb despite it being sealed and guarded.

What matters is that when your God-set time for a breakthrough comes, no one and nothing can hinder the purposes of God because it is He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens. (Revelations 3:7)

2. It does not matter what measures have been taken to harm your life, health, finances, marriage, ministry or career because when the God-set time for restoration comes, all will be restored.
Let your carry home message from this Easter  be that the God of the crucifixion on Good Friday is also the God of the resurrection on Easter Sunday and He will get you out just as He got Jesus out of the tomb and Joseph out of jail.

3. God Himself will help you if you are helpless.
Therefore, know without a shadow of doubt that when the time that God has determined for your deliverance arrives, it does not matter if you and all your family and friends are too weak physically or financially to get you out of your tomb situation because God himself can get you out.

He can cause earthquakes to destroy the obstacles or send angels to roll away impediments or to kill 185,000 of your enemies in one night (2 Kings 19:35) or cause your enemies to destroy each other (2 Chronicles 20:23) or cause Pharaoh dream a dream like the one that got Joseph out of jail or use any other method.

Therefore let this New Easter Message encourage you and ask yourself this one question, “Has the Lord’s arm been shortened?” (Numbers 11:23)

And the answer is, “The Lord’s hand is not shortened that it cannot save.” (Isaiah 59:1)
