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 that I knew about 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 tell 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!
