The Season of Recovery

1Samuel 30:8

June 24, 2010

By Rev. Anika M. Collins

 

"1Sam 30:8 "And David inquired at the Lord saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them and without fail recover all "

 

After David and his men went out to war, the Amalekites invaded their city, burnt it and took their wives and children captive. David and all the men began to weep and feel distressed. But...David encouraged himself in the Lord. He asked God should I go after them? Will I overtake them?

 

We have been through some tough times and went through some really scary situations. It seemed everything was lost and it couldn't get worse. But God is saying you shall recover. God is going to restore everything you thought you lost. It might sound cliche but everything the devil did to you God is saying He will restore it double because of your faithfulness. Remember Job, despite everything he went through, sickness, poverty, accusations, loss of family and friends he remained faithful to God. And because of his faithfulness God rewarded him, he came out better than he went in. ("Job 42:12." )

 

God said to David, Go, because you will without fail recover all.

 

Recover: regain something, return to former state or return to right position.

 

This is the season to take back some things and take your rightful position as sons and daughters of God, step into your purpose and divine destiny. Satan is there hoping you will cry and hang your head in defeat but know your identity ("St John1:14." ). You are a child of God and if earthly fathers' know how to give good gifts what about our heavenly Father, ("Matthew 7:11." ). You are a miracle waiting to happen, you are a charged, anointed time bomb waiting to explode and the devil cannot stop it because there is power in your hand, upon your tongue and in your spirit.

 

This is the season of recovery, when we take back what God had predestined from the existence of creation. God said to go for you shall without fail recover all because He will go with you.

 

God bless you.
