INTRODUCTION

You are welcome to the last ‘Word study’ this month of our restoration. Trust you have joyful day at work today.

Last week, we discussed recovering lost tool. What can you rememberand what was your take home point? ……………………………………………………………………………………………………

As we round off this month, let us look at Biblical or God’s concepts/ideas of restoration.

The preacher on Sunday defined the Biblical meaning as receiving back more than has been lost to the point where the final/new state is greater and better than the original.

Restoration is a repeated theme in the Bible. Christ came to human beings that have been so wounded by sins. His mission was to bring complete restoration (Health, Peace and Perfection of character. (Jer.30:17; John 10:10).

God’s concept of restoration is beyond preventing disease, feeling and looking better or living longer. It is about change of lifestyle that connects with God who heals, saves and bigger than health issues. He can create new health amidst suffering. His concept is to completely restore His people in every spheres of life so that we can spend eternity with Him.

How do we connect to and promote lifestyle change in line with the above?

Read Mark 10:46-52

CONCLUSION

For you to be restored to a position where you can reign with Christ at the end of your race, you must know what change is necessary daily (study the Bible for information), desire the needed change (Pray to conform to the information received) and have the tools to achieve and maintain the change (service and witnessing). That is GROW (G = Go to Church regularly, R = Read your Bible daily, O = Obey what you read, W = Witness for Christ)
