God is Restoring the Nations 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Restoration, repentance, holy living, prosperity, Jeremiah, Ezra, Haggai, Zechariah, nations, peoples, families, individuals, communities can be healed and restored if people return to God, repent of their sins and focus on what God wants them to do in life.

In the absence of knowledge, darkness prevails. Darkness is death; loss, problems, challenges, lacking understanding, falsehood, sorrow and pain. Darkness limits, restricts, imprisons, and is a precursor to bitter labor, unprofitable labor, forced labor, wandering and instability. In situations of darkness, people do things because people are doing things that way irrespective of whether what they are doing is right or not. Darkness wins when the knowledge of God is not there. Unfortunately, a number of nations and a great number of peoples are living in darkness, darkness borne out of ignorance of God and the knowledge of the Word of God. Such ignorance breeds rebellion against the word of God, depisement of the counsel of the most High God as well as outright rejection of God. Psalm 107 verse 11. This is what the Bible refers to as spiritual blindness.

However, when knowledge is present, the true knowledge of God and His word, darkness disappears. This implies that one of the ways God heals nations is to take the veil of spiritual blindness out of the eyes of the spiritually blind so that they can see Jesus and His glorious light for the healing of the nations. It is called the opening of the eyes of the blind. Please see Psalm 146 verse 8, Luke Chapters 4 verse 18, 24 verses 31, 45, Isaiah Chapters 35 verses 4 to 5, 42 verses 1 to 7, 16, 29 verse 18, 9 verse 2, 2 verse 5; John Chapters 1 verses 1 to 9, 12 verses 35 to 36, 46, 8 verse 12, 10 verse 21; Matthew Chapter 4 verses 13 to 16, Micah Chapter 7 verse 8.

God is Restoring the Nations 1

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

When the Lord restored the fortunes of[a] Zion,    we were like those who dreamed.  Our mouths were filled with laughter,    our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations,    “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us,    and we are filled with joy.  Restore our fortunes, Lord,    like streams in the Negev. Those who sow with tears    will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping,    carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy,    carrying sheaves with them. Psalm 126 verses 1 to 6.

I am restoring the years you have sown in tears is a line in a song I love so much more so when the Bible corroborates this in several passages of Scripture. Please see Joel Chapter 2 verses 18 to 29, Jeremiah Chapter 32 verses 36 to 44, Ezekiel Chapters 36, 37.

There is more to God than the Savior. He is also the Healer, Provider, Defender, Strength, Protector, Guide, etc. He is also the Restorer Who brings about restoration to His people. God’s restoration is usually multi-dimensional and spans the spiritual, physical, material, marital, financial, intellectual and in as many other areas that you can think of. This implies that God brings about restoration in every area of life. Significantly, His restoration often doubles; triples, quadruples and compounds whatever losses were suffered in the past.

Joseph is a classic example – the years of servitude and being a prisoner in Egypt paid off as Prime Minister in Egypt. That is why he named his first son Manasseh, meaning that God made him forget the toils, shame and indignity of slavery he suffered for almost twenty three years of his life.

Jabez got double blessings from God for the reproach he suffered on account of the name his mother gave him. Jabez’ blessings are what you could describe as an indeed blessing, the type of blessing that showcases a person, family, communities and nations. Such blessings also bring about uncommon favor, sustainable generational wealth, speed and increase on every side.
