DIVINE RESTORATION

DIVINE RESTORATION

BIBLE TEXT: 2 Kings 8: 1-6

Key Verse 6 “And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now”.

Divine restoration is the act of repaying or giving back to the rightful owner that which was taken from him/her forcefully as a result of God’s order or intervention.
From our lead text in 2Kings 8:1-6, the woman who had earlier experienced a joyous encounter of a dead son restored to life, is now faced with a sorrowful situation of a lost home and land , due to famine for seven years. And she hopefully approached a heathen king for aid to reverse the crises, at this point, God intervened and her pleas were granted.
No matter the length of time or kind of loss we have experienced, God is still fulfilling His words of restoring the years that the locust , the cankerworm, the caterpillar, and the palmerworm hath eaten (Joel 2:25), so that we can find rest for our troubled soul. He keeps repeating same daily in our lives just as he did in the Bible days, so we can remain focused on Him, despite the pain we are facing.
For Example:
1. God made Abimelech to restored Abraham’s wife Sarah and their troubled marriage had peace (Gen. 20: 1-18)
2. The Chief Butler’s job was restored after being fired and imprisoned by Pharaoh (Gen. 40:1-21)
3. Jairus dead daughter was restored to life by an encounter with Jesus Christ (Mark 5:21-43)
4. Jesus Christ restored the troubled health of the woman with an issue of blood for twelve years (Mark 5:25-34)
5. God restores rights e.g. birthright, kingship, land, business, opportunities , e.t.c (Ezekiel 21:27)
Beloved , God’s words are true, real and living (John 6:63). Whatever He did in the past to change hopeless situations , He can still do same today and forever.
Keep studying His words, listening to them to build your faith, praying to Him and believing that He is able to restore all that has been lost , and He shall do same to His Glory in Jesus Christ Name, Amen.
God bless You!

WISDOM FROM A FATHER

  Proverbs 4:1 KJV 'Hear ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding'. 25 Quotes By Archbishop Benson Idahosa 1. A lifestyle change isn't required for God to accept people. All He asks for is a 'heart change.' 2. If you have a vision and you do not act on it, it will die. A vision not actioned is auctioned! 3. What did God tell Moses to do? To speak to the rock. And what was going to happen? Water was going to come out. In fact until Moses carried out the instruction and spoke, nothing would have happened. But there are many rocks in your life which need only your speaking to them to release their stored contents. Why has the water not come out? Because you are looking at the rock as a stone, but God is seeing it as a reservoir. 4. Christians can face heavy trails of the enemy. We can be knocked down but we can never be knocked out. 5. The keys to success and prosperity are grace, faith and hardwork. 6. A vital key to success is that a...

Forsaken, yet remembered Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.” (Ruth 1:6). Family and friends can forsake you for having a challenge,lifestyle or weakness, but God always remembers one ,no matter the state at which we find ourselves, Keep trusting Him. Perhaps you have been abandoned by friends and loved ones because of your circumstances, and you felt deserted, dejected and disregarded? Never mind, for your maker and loving Father still have you in His thoughts (Jeremiah 29:11). Naomi with her family left Judah for Moab because it was plague with severe famine(Ruth 1:1). Later, same group returned, because God visited Judah and rolled away their reproach. If God can remember Judah with bread, He can still turn your own situations around for good and make you a centre of supply. Keep praying, hoping, working ,and t...
