God Will Restore What You Have Lost
Acts 3:21 says, ‘Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.’
This verse speaks about Jesus. There are over 250 titles for Jesus and you find the most in the Book of Revelation. One name that stands out is Jesus the ‘Redeemer or Restorer’. Jesus is able to restore whatever we have lost. He can recycle or restore the beauty of things that have become useless or marred.
After resurrection, Jesus has restored many things. In his second coming, Jesus will restore everything which is a huge mega redemption project. In Jesus, there is the power of restoration and by extension we receive the same. Through Jesus we are given the blessing of restoration. We read about an incident in 2 Kings 6:5-7, where an iron axe head fell into the water, Prophet Elisha made it float on water using a wooden stick. Elisha restored a lost iron tool with the anointing upon him.
Jesus will restore that which was lost, be it your career, your business, your relationship be it anything, he has the power to restore. Believe that Jesus will restore what you lost.
Joel 2:19 says, ‘The Lord replied to them: “I am sending you grain, new wine and olive oil, enough to satisfy you fully; never again will I make you an object of scorn to the nations.
When God restores us, it will satisfy us fully.
20 “I will drive the northern horde far from you, pushing it into a parched and barren land; its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea. And its stench will go up; its smell will rise.” Surely he has done great things!
God protects us from great attacks . We must stand up and testify to the great things God does for us.
21 Do not be afraid, land of Judah; be glad and rejoice. Surely the Lord has done great things! 22 Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green. The trees are bearing their fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their riches.
God will wipe away the curse of fruitlessness.
23 Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
Showers are a blessing from God.
24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain; the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
God’s blessings are like a harvest. We must picture it on our mental canvas.
25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten— the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm — my great army that I sent among you.
God had told the Israelites that they would receive blessings if they obeyed and curses if they disobeyed. They went through these phases of blessings and curses but now God promises to restore back to them what they lost when they were disobedient. He will bless you abundantly and restore your lost years and when he does he will give you plenty and you will enjoy abundance.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed.27 Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the Lord your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed.’
Many times, we see in the Book of Joel, that God’s people will not be shamed as they look to Him. We must receive it and live a blessed life.
