TEXT: “And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry” (Luke 15:21-24).
Do you need the God of Restoration to work in your life this month? Are you in a situation now in which you have lost your way or feel you have just totally messed things up? Perhaps you have broken relationships with your spouse, children, or other family members. Maybe you have lost your job or your health has taken a negative turn?
We serve the God of restoration!
Whatever life has taken from you, the God of restoration will restore it to you this month. Even if what you are going through is as a result of your disobedience to God and His instructions, if you will repent this moment, He will reinstate you to a place of blessing. Or are you saying: “But what about the time I have wasted, the opportunities I have missed, and the mess I have made of my life, can God still reach me after all my mistakes?” Yes, God can reach you no matter how far you think you have gone.
The Bible says: “Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear” (Isaiah 59:1).
The prodigal son in our anchor scripture today after wasting all that he had inherited from his father, returned home broke and embarrassed. All he wanted was three square meals and a job as a servant. But the moment he said, father, forgive me, his father called for the best robe, the fattest cow, the newest shoes, and a ring of son-ship restoring him to his rightful place as a member of the family.
Even under the Old Testament law, God said: “If a man steals an ox or a sheep…he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep” (Ex 22:1). Hey! If God would do that for those who lived under the Law, how much more will He do for those He has redeemed?
I want you to keep hope alive, knowing He is the God of restoration. He is set to restore you if you will allow Him.
PRAYER: I decree all round restoration for you this season, in Jesus name.
DAILY CONFESSION:
This year 2024, I am advancing in adversity because I’ve been redeemed to flourish in hard times therefore my life shall be full of wonders. Amen and amen.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: “Anything that is lost or missing can be restored as long as God is involved.”
