RESTORATION

April 8. 2 Chronicles ch 22-25

NEVER TOO LATE TO…

“Come, let us return to the Lord. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us. He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him. Hosea 6:1‭-‬2 NASB1995

GOOD DAY: When this woman met me years back, she said her life was so damaged it was too late for any restoration or joy to happen in her life again. She listed all her mistakes and to her it was too late for any restoration. Yes I agree with whoever is in this kind of circumstance. The past is bad and the consequences are grave and deep. But the gravity and depth of the consequences can only be as you want it. You cannot do anything about the past but you can do something about now and the future.

To be healed and restored, we have to return to God. How do we do this? It is first by changing our words. It is the word we say that is the God that either wounds or heals us. Say what God says and you get the results of His word. By now, you would have appreciated that we live in two worlds namely the spiritual and the physical. You would have known that the spiritual shapes the physical by the word we speak. No wonder Apostle James said whoever does not sin with his mouth is a perfect man. For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

James 3:2 NASB1995

If you can change your speaking to what God says no matter what you are experiencing in nature, you are on the path to recovery and restoration.

Beat your plowshares into swords And your pruning hooks into spears; Let the weak say, “I am a mighty man.” Joel 3:10 NASB1995

beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

Joel 3:10 KJV

This is because in the spiritual kingdom of God, there are no weak or sick or poor. See and talk of what exists in the spiritual realm of God and stop affirming the physical world of weakness in all its forms. We will see how changing our words leads to change and restoration of our lives tomorrow.
