DIVINE RESTORATION
Memorise:
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. .. Joel 2:25

Message
While I was a lecturer at one of the universities in Nigeria, there was a man who was not promoted for 12 years because somebody hid his file. When God was going to restore all this man had lost, the head of his department was changed, and his replacement asked to see the files of all staff in the department. They searched for this man's file until they dug it out from where it had been hidden. When his file was opened, they discovered that he should have been promoted at least twice, so they gave him a double promotion.
God can restore all the years you seem to have lost. He can reverse the irreversible and bring back the opportunities you missed in the past. In today's Bible reading, Jesus entered the temple and found a man with a withered hand. Before Jesus left the temple that day, He ensured that the man's withered hand received life and was divinely restored. In the name that is above every other name, if there is anything that is withered in your life, it will receive an instant restoration today.
Some Christians' walk with God can also be described as withered. For example, when a Christian who used to spend hours in God's presence can hardly spend up to thirty minutes with Him in prayer, such a Christian's walk with God is withered. Some Christians could heal the sick and cast out demons in Jesus' name in the past, but now,they have become victims of sicknesses and demonic oppression. If you are reading this devotional and your walk with God has withered, I pray that you will experience a divine restoration today, in Jesus' name. The Lord will breathe afresh into you and cause you to experience a greater realm of glory than the former days(Haggai 2:9).
Job said that no matter how badly a tree has been cut, as long as its stump is in the ground and it can perceive the scent of water, there is hope for it (Job 14:7-9). Beloved,since you are still alive to read this today, it means that there is hope for you concerning any withered situation that might exist in your life. All you have to do is submit completely to the Great Restorer and seek His face fol help. He will step into your situation and restore all that you might have lost, in Jesus' name.

Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour

As long as there is still breath in you, God can fully restore everything you have lost,
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour
Saviour, Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling.
Do not pass me by.
