Restoration

Monday 6 March
READ: Job 42: 10 - 17
MORE LESSON: Joel 2: 25

There is nothing more devastating than to become impotent in a place where one has been potent before. When man begins to fail in the place where he succeeded before, the shame becomes unbearable. When a student that was on top in his class begins to fail and struggle academically, the pain becomes great and people start saying all kinds of things. When a man that was rich becomes so poor that he begins to walk around begging, the pain of his present situation becomes amplified by the shame of remembering his previous position. In fact, people have opined that it is better not to have tasted wealth at all than to taste wealth and become poor after that. God's will is for you to be successful and to continue in it till the end.
God delights to restore all men that are languishing in the shame of loss. Job lost all he had and was covered with dust in shame but God still restored him. God gave job more than twice all he had before the enemy attacked him with losses. I pray that all you have lost will be restored, in Jesus’ name.
There was a young man that I met when I was in the university during one of the evangelistic outreaches. He was the only child of his parents who went into fornication and contacted a sexually transmitted disease that rendered him impotent for life. He couldn't tell his old parents because he knew they might just commit suicide. He was the only hope of the continuity of the family and he had lost his potency as a man. After we met, he gave his life to Christ and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost. We prayed for him and the Lord restored him; today he is married with children.
A man was also rushed to me one day who after shaking hands with somebody lost his manhood. He was in panic and even ran to the police station but the police could not help him. The police told him that even if they caught the offender, there was no evidence to use against him. It was then that he knew he needed God and came to me. We prayed and told him to go back home. He ran back to me the next morning to testify that Lord had restored back to him that which was lost.
There are many areas of life where men lose potency. It could be in the spiritual; may be you were vibrant and operated in the grace of God but now you have lost it. It could be in your finances, career, academics or family. Today, I announce to you that wherever you have lost potency, there is restoration for you, in Jesus’ name. If Job could be restored despite all that he went through, you too can be restored. Keep alive, stand in righteousness, remind God of His promises and your tree will blossom and bear fruits again. God is on your side.

Prayer/Action
* In the mighty name Jesus, I will not end as a loser.
* By the mercy of God, I command a restoration of all that has ever brought me joy, in Jesus’ name.

TODAY'S PROPHETIC PRAYER
Today, I disconnect my destiny and endeavors from the foundation of gracelessness, in the name of Jesus.
