Restoration

5th September 2022

Scripture Reading: Ezekiel 37: 1-14

Focus

“And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.” (Ezekiel 37: 14)

It is important to observe that in the milieu wherein Ezekiel prophesied, Israel was in captivity. People who had earlier been led into their Promised Land suddenly found themselves in captivity. People who once had their own came to that point in their lives where they simply didn’t have their own anymore. They moved from being in their own land to being in captivity; but God famously promised to bring them into their own land.

Friend, are you at that point where you have been displaced from your place in destiny? Hear me as I hear the Lord: you are coming back to your own land. You are coming back to the things you lost. You are coming back to the greatness that was taken away from you. You are coming back to take your place amongst kings and nobles. You are coming back to the Promised Land you once had. You are coming back to your own place in destiny.

Hear me as I hear the Lord: everything you lost will be restored in seven fold. Every opportunity you lost is coming back bigger than what you lost. You are getting back your lost grounds. You are getting back your lost relevance. You are regaining the favours you lost in time past. You are regaining your lost positions. You are regaining the helpers that walked away from you. The Lord is restoring you back to your own land.

Your days in captivity are over. The chapters of negativity are closed forever. Those that last saw you in tears of shame and pain will soon see you shedding tears of joy and congratulations. Those that already branded you by your current travails will soon return to see that the Lord has turned your captivity around. Those that mocked you in time past will return to celebrate with you. Your story will so change dramatically and remarkably.

Your losses are not final. What you lost is not lost forever. Get set: your time for restoration is now.

Declaration

What I lost in time past is being restored to me, in Jesus’ name!
