BREAKING PROTOCOLS BY DIVINE POWER
By Rev. Samuel Arimoro
Main Text: Esther 5:1-3
Supporting Texts: Daniel 6:10-23, Genesis 41:14, Acts 12:6-10, Matthew 8:2-3, Isaiah 45:2
INTRODUCTION:
There are times when divine intervention suspends earthly systems and bypasses natural limitations. Protocols are man-made rules, procedures, or systems designed to maintain order—but when God decides to lift a person, those systems must give way. Divine power has the capacity to override human expectations, laws, or processes to favour His chosen vessels.
In the story of Esther, it was against Persian law to approach the king uninvited. Yet by divine orchestration, Esther found favour, and the law was broken on her behalf. Likewise, many destinies are hindered because of existing protocols—medical reports, financial conditions, societal barriers—but when God steps in, protocols bow.
Today, God is set to break protocols for your lifting, deliverance, and breakthrough. When divine power steps in, even the most rigid laws must be revised.
1. DIVINE POWER CANCELS HUMAN RESTRICTIONS
a) Human protocols are limited (Matthew 8:2-3):
The leper was not supposed to be touched, yet Jesus broke that rule to heal him. Divine compassion overrules man-made restrictions.
b) God has authority over all earthly systems (Psalm 24:1):
The earth and its systems belong to God. When He speaks, everything aligns to His will.
c) What is impossible with man is possible with God (Luke 1:37):
Divine power specialises in reversing the irreversible and breaking limitations.
d) No law can hinder God's agenda (Isaiah 14:27):
When God has determined to bless, no protocol can stop it.
Biblical Example: Jesus healed on the Sabbath, overriding religious laws (Mark 3:1-6).
2. DIVINE POWER GRANTS ACCESS TO UNREACHABLE PLACES
a) Esther gained access to the throne room without invitation (Esther 5:2):
When God favours you, you are welcomed where others are rejected.
b) Divine favour opens doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8):
Favour grants entrance to strategic places regardless of opposition.
c) Divine power silences voices of disqualification (Romans 8:33):
Even if you’re not qualified by man’s standard, God qualifies you.
d) Protocols bend when God’s agenda is at stake (Isaiah 45:2):
God breaks gates of brass to give you access.
Biblical Example: Joseph was brought out of prison straight into the palace (Genesis 41:14).
3. DIVINE POWER RELEASES MIRACLES WITHOUT NATURAL PROCESS
a) God doesn't need a process to perform (John 5:8-9):
The man at the pool was healed without entering the water.
b) Divine intervention bypasses protocol to produce results (Luke 5:1-6):
Peter caught a net-breaking harvest at an unlikely time by divine instruction.
c) When God acts, speed replaces delay (1 Kings 18:46):
Elijah outran Ahab's chariot because of divine empowerment.
d) Divine power causes sudden turnarounds (Psalm 126:1):
What should take years can happen in a moment.
Biblical Example: The prison gate opened on its own for Peter (Acts 12:10).
4. DIVINE POWER PRESERVES DESTINIES AMIDST OPPOSITION
a) Divine preservation overrides plots of destruction (Esther 4:14):
Esther risked her life, but God preserved her for a purpose.
b) When God backs you, no harm can touch you (Isaiah 54:17):
The protection of the Lord breaks through traps and attacks.
c) The protocols of death and destruction can be cancelled (Psalm 91:10-11):
Angels are assigned to ensure your safety beyond natural defence.
d) God makes kings favour His children (Proverbs 21:1):
The heart of kings is turned in your favour by divine force.
Biblical Example: Daniel was preserved from the lions by divine power (Daniel 6:22-23).
5. DIVINE POWER BREAKS LIMITATIONS FOR KINGDOM PURPOSE
a) Protocols are suspended for kingdom advancement (Esther 4:16):
Esther’s boldness was for a divine cause—to save the Jews.
b) God lifts people for His purpose (Deuteronomy 8:18):
Abundance and promotion come when you align with God's mission.
c) Divine power gives boldness to confront limitations (2 Timothy 1:7):
You are empowered to take steps others fear.
d) God breaks protocols to make your life a testimony (Psalm 40:3):
He does the unusual so others may see and glorify Him.
Biblical Example: Ruth, a Moabite, became part of Jesus' lineage (Ruth 4:13-17; Matthew 1:5).
CONCLUSION:
God is not subject to man-made systems—He controls all things and can override them to fulfil His will in your life. When divine power steps in, delay is cancelled, closed doors open, and disqualification is nullified. Just as Esther received favour before the king without protocol, so shall you receive favour beyond the usual process.
God is about to break protocols for you. Be sensitive, be obedient, and be ready to step into the place He’s opening for you.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. Lord, break every protocol hindering my advancement.
2. Let divine power overrule every man-made restriction in my life.
3. Father, give me favour that opens impossible doors.
4. Let every system standing against my breakthrough collapse.
