A RESTORER OF THY YEARS - My Sign Series 004
Ruth 4:14 - 15, KJV
"14 And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.15 And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him".
Today, lost signs shall be found and restored again. Today, lost years shall be restored. God shall do something that'll lead to the restoring of your pined away years. I told you yesterday of how Jacob was revived. His soul was already dying and his bones weakened but an energy caused by hope birthed a new life in him when it is broken to him that Joseph yet lives by the same mouths that had lied to him about his death. He therefore was revived. His lost years was restored. He immediately became a youth and was young at heart again. He wanted to live and continue living once again. He immediately agrees to go and see Joseph before he dies. Where does that energy come from? Supplied by that good news and his aroused hope.
Genesis 45:27-28, KJV
"27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: 28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die".
Look, there's a news that brings healing and reviving. Even if you were on the sick bed, it would stand you up and heal you instantly. Such that'll meet your need and fit where you're needy is what the Lord is bringing your way today. What good, reviving and healing news do you need to hear? It's coming your way right now. You'll yet live once again. Life will once more makes sense to you again. You'll no longer despise life but embrace living and that'll be because you shall be restored your lost signs like Jacob was restored his lost son, Joseph.
What happened to Naomi in today's reading? She found her signs - her long gone signs again. How, you'll ask? When Obed is born by Ruth through Boaz (the nearest kinsman redeemer), all the women who heard of that joy gathered together and gossiped saying, "praise the Lord who has provided a redeemer for your family! May this child be famous in Israel. May he restore your youth and care for you in your old age. For he is the son of your daughter in law who loves you and has been better to you than seven sons!"
Did you hear what the women said, "may she restores Naomi's youth?" You may want to ask what happened to Naomi that led to the depreciation and loss of her youth. It's the total loss of her husband, Elimelech and two sons: Mahlon and Chilion. In her words at her return to Israel, she went out full but came back empty. She even told everyone not to call her Naomi but Mara (which means bitter) - Ruth 1:20-21. But the arrival of Obed (the new born baby of Ruth and Boaz) changes the narrative and gives her new hope. It revives Naomi who was a dying at that time. Life was not making sense for her. It seems the memory of the dead (her own husband and her two sons) would forever perish and not be named again. She has been hit severely by that loss and recovery or finding of her signs just seems impossible. However, God who ordains a lamp for David raised a hope for her. She was recovered and revived by the birth of Obed like the women gossiped. Obed becomes a restorer of her years to her. Immediately she heard of the new birth, she adopted the new baby and the Bible records, "16 Naomi took the baby and cuddled him to her breast. And she cared for him as if he were her own. 17 The neighbour women said, "Now at last Naomi has a son again!" And they named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse and the grandfather of David" (NLT).
May you see your signs again. May the lost be seen again. May the lost reoccur again. Did you read what those women testify of Naomi? They said, "a son has been born to Naomi again". Meaning, Naomi has seen her signs again. She once lost two children but this one has become a restorer of her years and a revisitation of God's mercy - causing hope in her again. Her children are what she missed very much and that's what the Lord in Obed brought back to comfort her.
I am hereby solidified that those of you who have lost husbands or children will see your signs again. How? If it's temporary separation occasioned by divorce or stubbornness of heart and not that they are dead, God will eventually causes a reunion between you both. On another ground if the husband is dead, the wife left behind may give birth to a child that'll be a sign alluding to the past sign (the father). There's nothing hidden that won't be declared the Bible says (Luke 12:2). I'm also caused to say there's nothing lost by you that won't be recalled or found. You shall see your signs again. Hope shall testify to you and life shall once more makes sense to live.
PRAYER: Lord, restore my lost, lonely and wasted away years. Cause me to hear joy in my innermost being and let every broken bones rejoice. I receive this joy this new month.
