RESTORATION BY THE WORD

Who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding ALL THINGS by the WORD of His Power…– Hebrews 1:3a (NKJV)

There is no situation so hopeless or woeful that God’s Word cannot restore. His Word is the Upholder and Restorer of ALL THINGS. To restore a thing means to take it back to the original state, status, or condition. To restore your situation means to take you back to your divinely-appointed destiny ordained for you at creation and by redemption. God has good plans for you; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jer. 29:11). But the devil has hurtful and harmful plans that are contrary to God’s plan; plans “to steal and kill and destroy” (Jh. 10:10a). This is my Word confession: I am a Victor, never a victim. I am more-than-a-Conqueror; I will never be a casualty in life’s battles.

It does not matter how much you have been bruised, broken, dirtied, or messed up in life. Indeed, life’s challenges are myriad: gloomy marriages, lost jobs; failed businesses; wasted investments; collapsed partnerships; abandoned projects; physical, mental, and spiritual afflictions. These often result into discouragement, dejection and depression. For some, everything they touch or try fails; and they lose peace of mind. When things have not gone the way you expect in life, you can use God’s Word to restore your divinely-appointed destiny. You can appropriate the Word to reclaim your destiny.

According to our text, the Word is as eternal as God is. The Word is the very expression of God’s Personality. In John 1:2, the Word is personified: “HE was in the beginning with God.” The Word is the divine Emissary that goes out to perform God’s commands: “HE SENT His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” (Psa.107:20). Based on the nature and function of the Word, He can turn any hopeless condition around, heal, deliver, liberate, and restore life to any dead situation.

The Word is the agency of creation: “All things were made through Him…” (v.3). As the creator, the Word is capable of restoring anything and anyone back to the original creation. God recreates what Satan wrecked. Any situation that Satan ruined, the Word can restore. The Word created and destined abundant life for you. He alone can recreate your situation and restore you to your originally ordained destiny.

“In Him was Life…” (v.4). Only the Author of Life can give life to the lifeless. Since life is in the Word, when the Word is sent forth into any dead situation, the situation will be resuscitated. The Word brings life into dying or dead situations. The Word embodies all that God is. The Word is eternal. The Word is creative. The Word is life-giving. The Word is illuminating. The Word has restorative power. Begin to give the Word His prime place as your restorative and conquering tool. Pray and prophesy the Word for the restoration of your health, career, finances, strength, anointing, and all situations in your life.
