Greetings in the name of the Lord. The promise word for the month of
June 2021 is Losses Restored
Yes, those wasted years over which we moan, groan or murmur shall be restored to us. Almighty can give us such plentiful grace that our overwhelming thoughts that appear in our mind be it thoughts, questions will be some recompense for those years of unfruitful days for which we need to be renewed in heart and mind or reborn in spirit and need to be humble waiting at God's feet.
It's very important to understand that lost years cannot be restored literally. Time once lost is also forever. No man should misunderstand the bible verse or misinterpret it as under any notion that the flying hour will ever wing its way back. Don’t imagine that the years gone can be restored.
When we read the bible keenly, God told Moses to stretch out his hand over the land of Egypt to bring a plague of locusts. The locusts covered the face of the land and swallowed up every crop and all the fruits of the trees. Afterwards there was nothing green in the trees, and all the crops in the fields had been destroyed.
So it’s evident that the locusts did not eat the years; the locusts ate the fruits of the year's labor - the harvest of the fields which means the restoration of the years must be restoration of those fruits and those harvests. We can never ever have our time back.
But there is an unusual or peculiar way in which God can give us back the wasted blessings, the unripened fruits of years over.
Matthew 19:26 says,
With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible
So according to this bible verse, all things are possible to him that believes. No man by his wisdom or power can do it. God alone does what seems impossible for man. So the consequence is when people repent for their mistakes people can harvest larger than the natural yield. This locust may be our sins which takes away all the good that comes to us which is given back to us by his divine grace in the present and in the future. Jehovah is a God of wonders and in the kingdom of his grace; miracles are ordinary.
Lets understand first and darkest of all, there are years of sin, of reprobation, impenitence and unbelief. The years without God are as without life to spiritual things!
Some people have passed through this unpleasant state for a number of years.
Some people are Atheist and thus they have an unfruitful life but some know God but are disobedient, unrenewed.These years are like people plowed and sowed and watched their crops but their labour is futile or all in vain. All human beings are slaves of lust, pleasure which leads to misery.
For example, when we take the life of many who are just living for meat and alcohol, making the life of their wives and children miserable, perhaps the poor wife and children would be more comfortable without them than with them. All of them are a burden to the earth like clouds without rain, wells without water. But some people are decent, respectable and do good but in reality the good that is done is not useful or worthy. This is a drawback in this world.
We've all heard it numerous times: "Why would a God who is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful allow bad things to happen to good people?" We can also turn the question around: "Why would an all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful God allow good things to happen to bad people?" After all, while seeing good people suffer is horrible, it's not much fun seeing evil people having fun either.
It has to be said, though, that this question is sometimes asked in innocence by people with a genuine desire to understand what seems impossible to understand. Other times it's asked by people who have suffered or whose loved ones have known grief and loss
Romans 2:6, says, God will repay each person according to what they have done
And, Ecclesiastes 8:14 says
There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless.
This is a contradictory passage from bible but the answer to this is Proverbs 11:30
Verse Concepts, The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who is wise wins souls.
Whenever we encounter people with great sorrow, depression and disappointment it's only because they are away from God. Some good people also fall for sin and lose hope and confidence. We should be wise enough to discern.
So when God touches a sinner who repents spiritually although he may be sick in body but restored in spirit, their captivity ends. We don’t realise the fact that our religion has no practical power.
For example; if the parents are christian doesn't mean the child is also god fearing because salvation is not by works. It is received through faith and once that happens that man works for the Lord.
God's children should not waste their life by idleness, worldliness, or frivolous amusement. Instead understand our purpose on this earth and make ourselves worthy of calling.
Revelation 3:15
Because you are lukewarm–neither hot nor cold–I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
God knows our deeds and expects us to be one either. Otherwise we are of no use to him.
Serve up religion hot; or not at all! If it grows lukewarm, neither God nor man will have it. For Jesus, who is both God and Man, has said, "I will spit you out of My mouth." He cannot endure it, who is the most patient of all beings.
The wasted years, by a miracle of love, can be restored. Does it seem too great a boon? Let us believe for it and live for it, and we may yet realize it, even as Peter became all the more useful a man after his presumption was cured by his discovered weakness. Lord, aid us by Thy grace.
Amen!
