God Restores

“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you” (Joel 2:25).

At times we may feel that our lives are just wasting away, we serve a God who not only preserves us but He also restores. God has promised not only to restore what the various worms have eaten, but He will also restore years, times, seasons that may have been wasted in the past.

“And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for his friends. And the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.”(Job 42:10)

Beloved, whatever we feel that we have lost or wasted, instead of being discouraged we must believe that God will restore. God will restore our lives, relationship, health, years, and finances; and bring us to a bigger, better, and brighter place.

“Then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.”(Deut 30:3)

God is Able

“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” ( Eph 3:20)

God is able to do…

• ·         Exceedingly to go beyond any request
• ·         Abundantly – to do more than enough
• ·         Above: to go over and above, beyond any need
• ·         All that we ask-request
• ·         All we can think- Imagine

“God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”(2 Cor 9:8)

“Therefore He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them.”(Heb 7:25)

Beloved, like the three Hebrew boys declared, “If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand.”(Dan 3:17) let us take the limits off and unleash our faith in the ability of God.

God Knows

“Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.” “John 6:5-7)

When Jesus saw the multitude He decided to ask Philip a question in order to test him.  Phillip failed the test, because he was looking to human reasoning for answers, he calculated how much money they had to supply bread but he was too blind to see the BREAD OF LIFE right in front of him. Jesus knew what he was going to do all along. Jesus is the All Knowing God. When faced with a question like Ezekiel when ask 

‘’Can these dry bones live?” he responded” Lord You know” (Ezekiel 37:3)

 Beloved we don’t have to look to ourselves for answers when we serve an Omniscient.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,” (Jer 29:11)

Pray, Pray, Pray

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Pray, Pray,Pray

 We pray that, the eyes of our understanding being enlightened; that we may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints (Eph 1:18)
