Weekly Exhortation (31st August 2026)
Topic: It Is Never Too Late
Key Scriptures: Joel 2:25, Isaiah 43:18–19, Lamentations 3:22–23, 2 Corinthians 5:17
**By Rev. Santigie Koroma, General Overseer, The Wholeman Salvation Ministry, Cline Town, Freetown**
Dear Brethren, I greet you in the mighty name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 🙏🏾
This week, be encouraged: **It is never too late with God.**
Your past mistakes, age, failures, lost opportunities, or present circumstances cannot put you beyond the reach of God's grace. Throughout Scripture, God restored and used people who might have thought their best days were behind them.
**Joel 2:25** declares, *“I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.”* God is able not only to forgive the past but also to restore what appears to have been lost.
**Abraham and Sarah – Never Too Late for God's Promise**
Abraham and Sarah had reached an age when having a child seemed naturally impossible. Yet God fulfilled His promise.
**Romans 4:20–21** tells us that Abraham did not stagger at God's promise through unbelief but remained fully persuaded that God could accomplish what He had promised.
**The lesson:** Human limitations cannot cancel God's promises.
**Moses – Never Too Late for God's Purpose**
Moses had a troubled past and spent many years in the wilderness. Yet at **80 years old**, God called him to lead Israel out of Egypt.
Society might have considered Moses' best years finished. **God considered him ready.**
*The lesson:* Your past mistakes and your age do not automatically disqualify you from God's purpose.
*Jonah – Never Too Late for a Second Chance*
Jonah ran away from God's instruction and suffered the consequences. But after he turned back to God, **Jonah 3:1** says:
*“And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time.”*
What a powerful statement!
**The lesson:** Failure does not have to be the final chapter. God specializes in restoration and redirection.
**The Thief on the Cross – Never Too Late for Salvation**
The thief beside Jesus had almost no time remaining. Yet when he turned to Christ, Jesus promised him paradise (**Luke 23:39–43**).
**The lesson:** No one should believe that they have gone too far for God's mercy.
**God Can Still Do Something New**
**Isaiah 43:18–19** tells us not to remain trapped in former things because God is doing something new.
Perhaps you are saying:
*“I am too old.”*
*“I wasted too many years.”*
*“I made too many mistakes.”*
*“My opportunity has passed.”*
But God can restore, redirect, forgive, renew, and give fresh purpose.
**Weekly Nugget ✨**
**In God's Kingdom, the clock never runs out on mercy. God can reclaim wasted years and give new purpose to people the world considers finished.**
**Prayer for the Week 🙏🏾**
* Lord, restore the years and opportunities I have lost.
* Help me to stop living in regret and start looking forward in faith.
* Give me courage to believe Your promises despite my circumstances.
* Turn my past mistakes into lessons for my future.
* Give me another opportunity where I have failed.
* Renew my purpose and strengthen my faith.
* Let something new begin in my life.
* In Jesus' name, Amen.
**End Blessing for the Week**
I bless your week in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏🏾 May God restore what has been lost, renew what has become weak, and breathe fresh life into your purpose. May your past never imprison your future.
**It is not too late for restoration. It is not too late for purpose. It is not too late for salvation. It is not too late for a new beginning. With God, your story is not over. Amen.** 🙌🏾
