Song:
All over the world,
God’s Spirit is moving –

All over the world,

All over the world,
There is a mighty revelation,
Of the GLORY of the LORD –
As the waters cover the sea!

2. Right here in this place –
God’s Spirit is moving…

🦅 Amen. Welcome to another beautiful Wednesday afternoon: the 23rd Day in the Month of August 2023. 💕

Let me not give you any suspense, but open up a bit on our theme’s resolve:

What is the Four Dimensions of Restoration?

In Christianity we seek Physical, Spiritual, Psychological and Material Restoration.

💕 As you have put your energy into work this day – and the week broke into two successful halves – the Presence of GOD ALMIGHTY will Go with you, every unprofitable labour in your life is uprooted in JESUS’ Name, Amen.

Our THEME for today is: “BE 4-DIMENSIONALLY RESTORED!”

Our TEXT Remains:
Psalm 23: 1-6.

God loves to restore. He restored Job’s fortunes (Job 42), Naaman’s flesh from leprosy (2 Kings 5).
He restored Hezekiah’s life (Is. 38), and David’s soul (Ps. 23) and the joy of David’s salvation!

🦅 In His ministry of reconciliation, God’s goal is to restore every person to His original intent for their life. That’s why we are all targets of God’s restoration. We are all in the process of restoration because God is restoring us all to His original intent for mankind.

🌹 Be assured, God’s original intent was not for you to give the rulership of your life to Jesus Christ – like being saved to be rapturable, even as one remains in poverty – No… In giving your life to Christ Jesus, the Almighty God also wants you to be the best that you can be. Hence, He paved the way for the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, in His plan for your restoration, expecting you – in return – to be genuinely reformed to live in total obedience to Christ’s word, giving peace to your surrounding, and, enjoying His divine provisions all the days of your life! 💕

A Journey into the Underatanding of Restoration.

🦅 Restoration is the act of putting something in its default perfect condition; renewal; resurgence; or re-establishment.

💕 It is the state or fact of being restored.

💕 It is a return of something to a former, original, normal, or unimpaired condition. God created us as GOOD. The influences surrounding our genetics, conditions/ circumstances of life, and other factors, including the kind of knowledge to which we are prone made us so different in personality!

💕 Restoration includes the restitution of something taken away or lost.

💕 Restoration is something that is put back in the original condition, better than renovation (face-lift).

💕 It is also a putting back into a healthier position, dignity, etc.

🦅 Restoration is something that every one of us needs in every area of life.  If we are already perfected and made holy, we would have no need to remain in this earthly turmoil. God is the perfecter of our faith and lives! So, we all need to be restored to God’s original intent for us, which includes:

• to walk and talk with God in person;

• to live, seated with Christ Jesus in heavenly places;

and,

• to demonstrate God’s fullness and abundance on the earth. 💕

🦅 I believe it’s very strange and odious, therefore, that even practising Christians talk about restoration as if it’s something only a few people need:

💕 We talk about restoring marriages–but only those marriages that are broken.

💕 We talk about restoring finances–but only when people have been financially bankrupt.

💕 We talk about restoring leaders–like an apostle/bishop whose wife left him in the midst of a revival, or a televangelist who got divorced – but only when those leaders fail.

🦅 In thinking about restoration as something needed only by those who stumble, we miss out on the full picture. The full picture is that restoration is God’s heart, and God’s plan, for all of us. We are all targets of God’s restoration. We are all in the middle of His restoring work in our lives.

 

Restoration into God’s Standard!

🦅 In order to have “restoration,” there must be a standard that a person is being restored unto. In God’s mind, that standard is not limited to a happy marriage, good neighbourliness, an awe-inspiring financial net worth, or success on a specific job or lifestyle: God’s standard for restoration is much higher.

God’s goal is to restore every person to His original intent for their life! That’s why we are all targets of God’s restoration.

Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the GLORY of God. God made you to be full of His glory, and to worship Him! That was His original intent for your existence. That is why the Bible tells us that the earth will – one day – be restored, and will be full of God’s GLORY as the waters cover the sea!

 

Recognising the Components of Restoration.

🦅 While harmonising these concepts, we emphasize seven main components of successful restoration:

🌹(1) defining correct and meaningful baselines and selecting realistic and appropriate restoration endpoints;

🌹 (2) bringing the Ministry of Reconciliation into our understanding;

This need is now apt – in the Body of Christ – for a heart of restoration: for mercy to triumph over judgment, and about how all of God’s people are continuously being restored to God’s original intent for mankind;

🌹 (3) prayerfully building a Godly people who do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God;

🌹 (4) establishing – in agreement with the scriptures – a humble understanding that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, and that we all need restoration back to God’s original intent;

🌹 (5) addressing the actual ministry of reconciliation:

• what it is;

• why we need it;

and

• the special promise it carries when we birth it in our churches.

🌹 Without missing the opportune timing, let us discuss ministry of reconciliation before moving on…

🌹 The ministry of reconciliation is essential to God’s strategy to bring His Church into alignment with His purposes.

This ministry happens when you add up two components:

• Godly people who do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with their God; PLUS

• A humble understanding that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory, and that we all need restoration back to God’s original intent.

By adding those two thoughts together, you get people – leaders and non-leaders – who are simply willing to be agents of God’s heart on the earth. These people then abandon the evil desire for vengeance and retribution, and they start to minister God’s heart to others. That is the ministry of reconciliation… when God’s people walk in wisdom and use their authority to bring people back to God’s original intent.

 

🌹(6) balancing restoration where it is needed most with where it will most likely to be successful,

🌹(7) ministering unconditional love – as opposed to need-love in the ecclesia.

Or else, how can we fulfil the needs of these components and build a heart of restoration in which mercy shall triumph over judgment?

Without the Agape love, how can we achieve a state where all of God’s people are continuously being restored to God’s original intent for mankind? 💕

🦅 Now, we need to seek God’s mind, and develop a heart that seeks perfect reconciliation with God. 💕

I prophesy into your life, therefore:

🦅 The Lord shall silence every blood-sucking spirit that will hinder your restoration, now, in JESUS’ Name, Amen. 💕

🦅 The holy hand that changes situation for good will change every undesirables laid before you, today, preparing to slow down your progress. The enemy will fail and fall for your sake, in JESUS’ Name Amen. 💕

🦅 I decree and declare that No predicament shall befall you, you will go in peace and come back with joy, in JESUS’ Name. Amen

NOW Please, Pray for yourself with a focus:. 💕

🦅
Isaiah 48:3, Psalm 126:1

🦅 1. Papa in heaven, Create a new, teachable, godly spirit in me – Make me to accept my total restoration in four-dimensions and in a 100 fold, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

🦅 2. A sudden change that will make people feel blessed to pour material gifts that glorify God into my life, let it locate me today, in Jesus’ Name.

🦅 3. Lord, give me a miracle that is so great that it will look like a dream, today, in Jesus’ Name.

🦅 4. Lord, describe me to my divinely-chosen helpers, today, so that they can assist me to possess my possession, in Jesus’ Name.

🦅 5. Lord, remember me from above, and destroy all hinderers to my doing good, in Jesus’ Name.

🦅 6. The good places where I was mocked, maligned and forgotten, Lord, open a book of remembrance for me there, today, in Jesus’ Name.

🦅 7. Lord, make all my helpers to be divinely helped to remember me, immediately, in Jesus’ Name. 💕 🦅

Now, as we close with excitement that God has answered us, I make a declaration:

🦅 I decree and declare safety on you and all your journeys this week, in JESUS’ Name…

The LORD will make your ways prosperous, fruitful and rejoicing-filled, in JESUS’ Name. Amen. 💕

Good evening, have a blessed and glorious midweek. ❣️

AMEN!🦅

Shalom 🙏
