DIVINE RESTORATION

Zechariah 1:7-21

DIVINE RESTORATION

   

    Our meditation yesterday reminded us of God's displeasure with the remnants who survived the Babylonian captivity. He was angry with the Israelites because of their evil ways. But now that they had turned to Him with a pleasant heart, He had repented of what he purposed to do and promised to restore all their lost fortunes. The Bible say: 

"Therefore, thus says the Lord, 'I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it says the Lord of hosts, And a surveyor's line shall be stretched our over Jerusalem... again comfort Zion and will again choose Jerusalem" (v.16-17).

    Beloved, if you also can turn to the Lord today with a broken and contrite heart, He will turn to you and grant you mercy, prosperity and comfort. He has promised you everything that makes life enjoyable - peace of mind, joy, breakthroughs, victory over Satan and his cohorts (v.18-21). All of these can be enjoyed only if you can secure God's attention by holy living and purity of heart. When David confessed his sin before God, his joy of salvation was restored to him (Psalm 51;12). What have you lost to the devil as a result of your sin? Turn to the Lord today and your lost glory - the joy of your marriage, peace of mind and joy of your salvation will be restored to you.

PRAYER:    O Lord, restore unto me today all my lost fortunes, in Jesus Name. Amen
