God of All Possibilities: He is Able to Do the Impossible

Introduction

Life often presents us with situations that seem insurmountable. Whether it is financial hardship, health challenges, or personal struggles, we sometimes feel overwhelmed by impossibilities.

Yet, the Bible reveals a powerful truth: God specializes in making the impossible possible.

Genesis 17:1 records God’s promise to Abram when he was ninety-nine years old, reaffirming His power and faithfulness: 

"I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless." (Genesis 17:1 NKJV)

Jeremiah 32:17 further affirms God’s limitless power:  

"Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You." (Jeremiah 32:17 NKJV)

This truth is echoed in Jesus’ words in Matthew 19:26:  

"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

My personal testimony of receiving unexpected financial provision for my Master’s Degree in Theology serves as a reminder that when we trust God, He makes a way even when none seems to exist.

The song “God of All Possibilities” by Dunsin Oyekan beautifully expresses this reality—God opens doors, fights battles, and never lets His people down.  

Here are 5 biblical cases of God turning impossible situations to become possible:

1. Creation: God Brings Something Out of Nothing

God demonstrated His power from the beginning by creating the heavens and the earth out of nothing (Ex Nihilo).

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1 NKJV)

Just as God spoke light into existence, He can transform a life filled with darkness, disappointment, and hopelessness into something beautiful.

Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 4:7 that our potential is found in God, not in ourselves:

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us."

2. Fruitfulness: God Turns Barren Situations Around

Sarah conceived in her old age because God is the giver of life (Genesis 21:1-2). Similarly, Elizabeth, once called barren, bore John the Baptist:  

"For with God nothing will be impossible." (Luke 1:37 NKJV)

God also demonstrated His power in Peter’s fishing experience. After a night of failure, Peter obeyed Jesus and caught so many fish that his nets broke (Luke 5:5-7). 

If you trust God, He will make you fruitful in every area of life—family, career, business, and ministry.  

3. Provision: God Supplies Every Need

When the Israelites lacked food in the wilderness, God provided manna and meat (Exodus 16:3, 11-12). Philippians 4:19 assures us:  

"And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Elijah experienced God’s miraculous provision through ravens. In the same way, God can meet our needs when we depend on Him.  

4. Victory: God Grants Supernatural Triumph

David’s victory over Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-50) and Abraham’s triumph over five armies (Genesis 14) illustrate how God enables His people to overcome mighty enemies.  

When God is in charge, He uses simple means to bring great victories. Just as David defeated Goliath with a sling and a stone, God can empower us to overcome challenges that seem bigger than us.  

5. Overflow: God Provides More Than Enough

Jesus miraculously fed over 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish (Matthew 14:17-21).

This demonstrates that God not only meets our needs but provides in abundance. Proverbs 3:9-10 encourages us to honor God with our resources, promising:  

"So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine."

Conclusion

We serve the God Of All Possibilities—the One who creates from nothing, makes barren lives fruitful, provides abundantly, grants victory, and causes overflow. No situation is beyond His power.  

Therefore, let us trust in Him completely. When we walk by faith, we will witness His miraculous power in our lives. 

As the Bible declares:

"For with God, nothing will be impossible." (Luke 1:37 NKJV)
