Jesus had prophesied about it.
Luke 19:41-44. It was the Ro-
man Empire forces under Gen-
eral Titus. Israel is now one na-
tion under one leader. Prior to
their dispersal, we had two
Kingdoms forming Israel (Judah
in the South with Jerusalem as
the Capital and Israel in the
North with Samaria as its Capital City).
Much sin was brewed in the North than in the South. I hope you still remem-
ber King Ahab and the wife Jezebel. This was their base. God send His serv-
ants Prophet Elijah and Elisha to deal with the situation. Righteousness
was restored in the land of Israel. God punished evil people.

Prophet Elijah slew 450 false prophets of Baal. Elisha continued
after Prophet Elijah had been taken by Chariots of horses and fire
to Heaven. 2Kings 2:11

Israel and Judah united as one nation under one leader.
King David remembered the covenant he made with Jonathan
and restored the property that belonged to King Saul to
Mephibosheth (Jonathan’s son). 2 Sam 9:9.
It is painful to lose something you have invested much of your time, re-sources and energy. There are some investors who rush to withdraw their savings from a company they fill is going down. You might be there writhing in pain for losing something you valued. God has a better plan
for your life. What seemed good, but better is superior to the other one that looked good. The later rain is greater than the former. If you are a covenant person, the LORD has promised to re-
store all that you lost. Remember the LORD lifted Job from ashes and gave him double blessings of all that he had lost during his tri-als. Job 42:10. The Bible tells us that God restored Job when he prayed for his friends who had offended through their words. We are called to love people re-gardless of their attitude towards us. It sounds crazy but that is what pleases God.
God declares, "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming lo-cust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you..* Joe 2:25-NKJV
Before Jesus started his earth-
ly ministry, John the Baptist
was sent to prepare people to
receive Him. John preached
forgiveness of sins. Read
Matthew 3. It was confirmed
by Jesus Himself: “And Jesus
answered and said unto
them, Elias truly shall first
come, and restore all things.* Mt 17:11
Apostle enlightened Galatian believers by cautioning them about compla-
cence. He stated, “if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are
spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering
yourself lest you also be tempted.” Gal. 6:1- (NKJV). He understood
our frailty as humans.
If you need your life restored to God, please join
me in this prayer:
Prayer: Dear God, I have heard you word . I confess that I am a sin-
ner. Please forgive me! I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins on
the cross , was buried and on the Third day rose again for my Justifi-
cation. I now accept Him as my Lord and Saviour. Write my name in
the Book of Life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit and Power to witness
your freedom to others. In Jesus’ holy name I pray. Thank you Je-
sus! Amen!
