By Rev. Samuel Arimoro

Main Text: Psalm 126:1-4

INTRODUCTION:

There are moments in life when human efforts fail and natural solutions run out. It is in such moments that the God of divine intervention steps in. Divine intervention refers to God's supernatural involvement in human affairs—changing the course of events, reversing outcomes, and bringing about the miraculous.

The Scriptures are filled with stories of people and nations who were at the brink of destruction, stagnation, or disgrace, but God stepped in suddenly and turned the situation around. Divine intervention reveals God’s love, mercy, and power to rescue, restore, and renew.

As believers, we must know that divine intervention is not a myth or religious jargon—it is a reality we can experience. No matter how deep the pit or strong the opposition, God can intervene and bring supernatural change.

1. GOD INTERVENES WHEN THE SITUATION SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE

When the odds are against us, that’s when God shows Himself most powerfully.

a) God Specialises in Hopeless Cases (Luke 7:12-15)

He raised the widow’s son at Nain just as he was being carried out for burial.

b) Impossible Situations Are Opportunities for Divine Glory (John 11:40)

What men consider dead, God can restore to life.

c) God's Intervention Brings Supernatural Reversal (Psalm 126:1-2)

He turns captivity into laughter and sorrow into joy.

d) He Steps In at the Right Time (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

God makes everything beautiful in His time—not too late, not too early.

Biblical Example: The resurrection of Lazarus—Jesus arrived after four days and still reversed death (John 11:1-44).

2. GOD INTERVENES TO RESCUE HIS PEOPLE FROM DANGER

God does not abandon His own. His eyes are always on the righteous.

a) God Delivers from Destruction (Exodus 14:13–14)

He parted the Red Sea and delivered Israel from Pharaoh.

b) His Angels Are Assigned for Rescue (Psalm 91:11)

He gives His angels charge over His children in danger.

c) Divine Intervention Frustrates the Plans of the Wicked (Job 5:12)

God breaks the schemes of the enemy and preserves His own.

d) He Responds to the Cry of His People (Psalm 34:17)

The righteous cry, and the Lord hears and delivers them.

Biblical Example: Peter’s miraculous escape from prison—An angel intervened at night and brought him out (Acts 12:5-10).

3. GOD INTERVENES TO DEFEND HIS NAME AND HIS PURPOSE

God's intervention is not only about us—it’s also about His glory and reputation.

a) God Will Not Let His Word Fail (Isaiah 55:11)

His promises must be fulfilled in our lives.

b) He Rises to Defend His Covenant People (Isaiah 49:25)

He contends with those who contend with us.

c) God Intervenes for the Sake of His Name (Ezekiel 36:22)

He acts to preserve His honour even when we don’t deserve it.

d) Divine Intervention Preserves His Kingdom Agenda (Romans 8:28)

Even trials work together for His greater plan.

Biblical Example: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—God defended His name by delivering them in the fire (Daniel 3:24-25).

4. GOD INTERVENES TO OPEN NEW DOORS OF TESTIMONY

Every intervention of God leads to a new level of glory and impact.

a) Divine Intervention Shifts Seasons (Isaiah 43:19)

God creates new opportunities and new paths where none existed.

b) It Turns Tests into Testimonies (Genesis 50:20)

What the enemy meant for evil, God uses for good.

c) God's Power Establishes His Goodness in Our Lives (Psalm 34:8)

Tasting His intervention causes us to trust Him more.

d) Intervention Opens the Door to a New Beginning (Revelation 3:8)

He opens doors that no man can shut.

Biblical Example: The woman with the issue of blood—After years of affliction, one divine moment changed her story (Mark 5:25-34).

CONCLUSION:

The God we serve is still in the business of divine intervention. No matter how deep your pain, how long your delay, or how impossible your situation looks—God is able and willing to step in. But divine intervention requires faith, prayer, and total surrender to His timing and will.

Don’t give up. Don’t stop praying. Don’t stop believing. Divine help is on the way. You serve a God who hears, sees, and acts swiftly for His children. This is your season of divine intervention!

PRAYER POINTS:

1. O Lord, arise and intervene in every difficult area of my life.

2. Father, let every stubborn situation in my life bow to Your power.

3. God of divine intervention, show up for me where I have no help.

4. Let Your mighty hand deliver me from every snare and trap.

5. O God, intervene and bring joy where there has been sorrow.

6. Father, break protocols and make a way where there is no way.

7. Let my enemies see Your hand in my life and be confounded.
