*THEME: THE UNLIMITED GOD II*
*MEMORISE:*
Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Genesis 18:14.
*BIBLE READING: EZEKIEL 37:1-10*
1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.
5 Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
*MESSAGE:*
God is not only unlimited when it comes to opposition; He also cannot be limited by circumstances.
In Genesis 18:9-14, when He said that a 90-year-old woman would become pregnant, the woman laughed because, humanly speaking, she had a good cause to laugh. She had reached menopause, and her husband was almost 100 years old, yet God said, "Nine months from now, you will have a baby boy." When she laughed, God had to call her to order by saying, "Do you think anything can be too hard for me to do?" No case is too difficult for God to solve or too hopeless for Him to turn around.
The Bible doesn't tell us how long Manoah and his wife waited to have a child, but their waiting season ended after God sent an angel to visit them (Judges 13:2-24). Humanly speaking, Zachariah and Elisabeth were too old to have children. In fact, the Bible says that they were stricken in years, meaning they were old and feeble. Yet, their old and frail nature didn't stop God from giving them a child (Luke 1:5-25). When God is ready to bring forth life, no deadness can limit Him.
In today's Bible reading, Ezekiel saw a valley that was full of dry bones in a vision. Dry bones are associated with people or animals that have been dead for long. When Ezekiel was taken to this valley that was full of dry bones, God asked him if the bones could live again.
The man of God immediately realised that he had come face to face with a situation that his faith could not handle. "Lord, only You can tell," he replied wisely. Then, God said to him, "Prophesy to these bones and say, Dry bones, hear God's word and come together, every bone to its bone as it was originally."
Naturally speaking, it is impossible for dry bones to hear anything, but when the Unlimited God steps on the scene, dry bones not only hear, but they come alive, locate the parts they were joined to, and become a mighty army! I pray that every dry and dead situation in your life will hear the voice of the Unlimited God and come alive again, in Jesus' name! Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones as the Unlimited God commanded him to.
Beloved, when you're faced with situations that seem hopeless, you must speak God's word over them. Declare what God has said into seemingly hopeless situations, and nothing will be impossible unto you.
*KEY POINT*
Speak God's word into situations that seem to be dead around you, and you will experience the wonders of the Unlimited God.

*HYMN 27 - WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS*
1 What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
2 Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Do your friends despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
Good Morning.
Reflecting on the theme of the Unlimited God, I’ve often found that faith is not just a belief but a powerful force that activates change against all odds. The story from Ezekiel 37:1-10 about the valley of dry bones has always struck me deeply because it symbolizes hope in the most desperate circumstances. I remember facing a personal challenge where everything seemed dead and lifeless, much like those dry bones. At that time, I chose to speak words of faith over my situation daily, much like Ezekiel was commanded to prophesy to the bones. It wasn’t an immediate transformation, but gradually I noticed shifts — small signs of revival and strength returning. This personal experience affirmed the message that no situation is beyond God’s power to restore and resurrect. The biblical examples of Sarah, Manoah’s wife, and Elisabeth illustrate perfectly that human limitations don't confine God’s miraculous works. Another key takeaway from this devotional is the importance of persistent prayer. The hymn "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" beautifully captures the peace found when we bring all our worries and burdens to God in prayer. In my spiritual journey, I have learned that trusting God’s timing and speaking His promises out loud can turn despair into hope. For those who might feel overwhelmed by circumstances—whether it’s health, relationships, or spiritual dryness—this devotional encourages us to keep declaring God’s word over those situations. Sometimes, the breakthrough comes simply because we refuse to give up and continue to trust in God’s unlimited power. Let this message inspire you to see beyond the impossible and to speak life where everything seems still and dead. The breath of God can revive all things, and indeed, nothing is too hard for the Lord.
