BIBLE IN A YEAR: 1 Chron 1-3

THAT LOSS IS RECOVERABLE

MEMORIZE: "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer worm, my great army which I sent among you" (Joel 2:25)

READ: Revelation 3:7-8

When life’s situations and circumstances are becoming too impossible, it’s time to look up. In Psalms 121:1, David says, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help”. Whenever you get to your wits end and there appears to be no way out, look up to the One who made the heavens and the earth. He will create one for you! A very good natured and lovable sister had a ‘but’ in her life. It was her son who suffered epileptic fits. Living with neighbors was cordial and pleasant until the boy suffered a crisis. As a result she was asked to move out of the house. They could not stand it. This continued for several years until one day. She was on her way to the market with her son when he suffered another crisis. Being a public place, people saw what happened and fled, but she held the boy, stood him on his feet and cried to the Helper of the helpless: “Oh God, I may be alone at the moment but I know you are present: help me”. That was how the child was miraculously healed.

Are you going through a situation that you cannot disclose to your friends or spouse? The Lord will intervene today. Another reason you should look up to God is because whatever you have lost may be out of your reach, but within the reach of the Almighty God. Have the enemies buried your star, blessings and entitlements in an unknown place? The Lord who sees everything, whose hands are not short, will locate and release them to you in Jesus’ Name. This is why He promised to restore lost years that your enemies thought are forever gone (Joel 2:25). They are not gone! Have you worked for months or years without being paid? The Lord will restore your pay. Have you patiently labored for the Lord and your colleagues have overtaken you and appear more successful than you? Relax. Rejoice in the Lord. The Lord is faithful and He will restore what you have lost. The Lord will make it up to you. The door the enemy has shut will open today. Revelation 3:7 talks of a divine Master key called the key of David. Whatever is locked by this key can never be reopened; and whatever is opened by this key can never be shut. The Lord Jesus has this key with Him and He has given it to us. Today, the Lord will lock out every evil thing from your life and family, and open every door of blessing to you.

ACTIONPOINT: Use the name of Jesus to lock out any undesirable situation and to open the doors of your desires.
