INSTRUCTION RESCUES
Memorise:
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from
their destructions.
Psalm 107:20
Read: Proverbs 19:20-21
20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest
be wise in thy latter end.
21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless
the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.
Message
If you experience a loss at any point in life, know that it's a
time to stay calm and not a time to lose heart. If you can
wait to receive specific instructions from the Lord, it will
expedite the recovery of your loss. The reason why many
losses of God's children have not been recovered is
because they have not found time to seek the face of God
on the matter. As you seek God's face concerning those
good things you have lost, the Lord will give you a word that
will lead to their recovery.
Many years ago, while we were building the first big
auditorium at the Redemption Camp, we needed a lot of
wood. We paid the government board in charge of sawmills
in Edo state, Nigeria, to have this wood supplied to us. A
few weeks to our convention, this government board
decided to shut down all sawmills in the state. While pacing
up and down asking God what to do, the Lord asked me
what I knew about the Kingdom of God. To me, this
question was irrelevant and I wanted to say so, but I
cautioned myself and began to say what I knew about the
Kingdom of God. I said "You must be born again to enter
into the Kingdom of God". He concurred. Then I said "The
Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness,
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost". He agreed. This continued
until I exhausted all I could remember on the subject
matter. Eventually, I said "Since the days of John the
Baptist, the Kingdom of God suffereth violence, and the
violent taketh it by force." Then He replied, "That is where
we are going.
Do you want your wood? Give me a violent offering." That
was on a Saturday; on Sunday, I shared this with my
children and we gave a violent offering. On Monday, the
governor of Edo state dissolved this government Board and
reconstituted another one, which immediately reopened all
sawmills. On Tuesday, someone who had no money to give
brought his trailer for us to use as long as we wanted. On
Wednesday, someone came to give us bags of nails.
Several other people also brought materials for the building.
Within two weeks, the auditorium was ready; all because I
received an instruction from the Lord. The instruction that
will lead to a full recovery of your losses shall be given to
you this season. When you seek God's face and He tells you
what to do, don't argue with Him; go ahead and obey the
Lord and you will recover your losses. It is your recovery
period this season!
Key Point:
For every loss, there is a recovery strategy which can be
found with the Great Restorer - Jesus Christ.
