OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL-MONDAY-07/03/2016-RECOVER
YOUR STOLEN BLESSINGS -BY PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE
Memorise
Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them that fear
Him. Psalm 103:13
Read
2nd Chronicles 7:12-14,
12 And
the Lord appeared to Solomon by
night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place
to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I
shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the
land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my
people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
KJV
MESSAGE
Time and time again, we have
seen God dealing with us as a father deals with his children. This is because
we are His children and He is our father. God has been so gracious to us on
many occasions. He will not always punish us without showing mercy, even when
it is glaring that we deserve condemnation. There are many of us who have lost
many precious things due to our rebellion, negligence and
carelessness, but our Father is always there to show us mercy and grace. If
things are bad and you want a positive turn around, there are steps you must be
willing to take to recover all your stolen blessings. God does not want His
children to be at the mercy of Satan; the Almighty God is willing and eager to
deliver us. You have to first of all acknowledge the areas in which you have
given room to the devil, find out that specific area in which you have given
room to the devil, find out the specific area you missed it and seek the face
of the Almighty God for restoration. God wants you to recover your lost lands,
your lost status and all the beautiful accomplishments that you have lost to
the devil. The moment you recover these lost grounds, you must say to yourself
that you will never be a victim again. The only way to guarantee this is to
keep in constant touch with your creator and the restorer of your blessings.
You need to love the Lord like never before.
“And thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all they soul, and with all thy
might” Deuteronomy 6:5
You should make up your mind to
obey His voice alone in every area of life. Obedience to the Word of God will
lead you into a life of fruitfulness. There are many people who look for God
when the devil is dealing with them, but as soon as they are fully delivered
from the hands of the devil, they stop doing the will of God. With this kind of
attitude, there cannot be complete restoration of lost blessings; you have to
remain connected to God by serving Him.
“And
thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a
perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and
understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek Him, he will
be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.”
1st
Chronicles 28:9
God has placed conditions for
the restoration of lost blessings and these conditions are not as stringent as
what people go through in the hands of the devil. We are expected to change our
attitudes and actions in order for God to answer our prayers. We are to humble
ourselves before him and be fully obedient to His will; there should be
practical evidence of humility and obedience to His word. I decree in the name
of Jesus, an end has come to those who have been going round in circles. Every
curse over anyone reading this devotional is broken in the name of Jesus. In
the Name that is above every other name you are moving out of the wilderness
and entering into your own land flowing with milk and honey in Jesus’
name.
Prayer Point
Father, let my restoration be permanent in Jesus’ Name.
