ALWAYS RECOVERING - Our Travelogue & Travails Series 004
Acts 28:6, KJV
"Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god."
May you always recover. Comebacks will be your testimony. That place says, "however, they looked when he should have swollen or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god".
This will be your perpetual testimony. You will always recover to make comebacks. What does the Bible say about the righteous falling and coming back? "For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again" (Proverbs 24:16, KJV). I pray for you today that salvation will be near your house. Comebacks in your to and fro and in any trouble you might enter into.
What you must know is that as long as we live on earth, we can't but enter into troubles. We don't have to be the cause as you'll testify but life can't but happen. However, if you'll survive and continue to live on, what you must always have is recovery, a comeback or what the Bible succinctly calls salvation.
Psalms 91:16, KJV
"With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."
If you're denied God's salvation when you're in trouble, you'll sink, get choked and might pass out. It is salvation that draws you out of the miry clay or many waters, setting your feet on solid ground. If not, the quick sand had swallowed you up. That's why the Bible guarantees long life for anyone who keeps getting saved from his troubles. That'll always be consequential. It says, "with long life will I satisfy you and show you my salvation". Long life doesn't become an experience except salvation - saving from trouble is first of all activated. The man of God, Sunday Adelaja, the pastor of the largest church in Europe said he was called and labelled a lot of things when he began ministry and God began to move things for him. He said he was likened to North Korea dictator's leader and that many national and international newspapers spread rumours about him as being a cult leader who hypnotizes people. Moreso, being a Nigerian born leader, they called him a drug lord. He even confesses CIA monitored him for three years to discover nothing. It was when all was revealed that he knew. He said in that audio message of his I listened to that he dreaded what next would be published about him each day. His members had cried for him testifying about his integrity. He also had locked himself up to pray 10-15 hours once a week asking God for all the help He could muster for him. At the end, the victory came and he was recognized as a godly influencer and a rare African who's a gift to Europe and all the world.
You see, that was salvation that worked for him. If not, he could have died - ceased because of the many cases filed against him. He could have been falsely sentenced! Imagine a minister appearing in court like money appears in your hands. You yourself would have thought there was an iota of truth in the accusation levied against him. You'd say, is he the only minister in town and why are they coming after him only? But God preserved him by granting him salvation from all his troubles. This leads to the long life and the present life he's still enjoying. I even watched a video where he testified of how he escaped from Ukraine when the war began as he was a major target. He left with nothing. Scarcely could they pick toothbrushes. But look, God granted him salvation and he yet live. Thank God for his salvation and recovery from all our present troubles.
Paul got bitten by a snake and he could have died from it. However, recovery answered. As a matter of fact, those who knew the process of things and how long it takes for the poison to choke waits for him to yield up the ghost. But when they looked that he should have swollen or fallen down dead, yet nothing happens, they had to change their minds. Look, I proclaim recovery over you, your health, family, finances, business. I'm picking there's someone whose child is sickly unto death there. I proclaim recovery. Let God's salvation draw him or her out of the many waters of sickness. Salvation! Salvation! Salvation!
The king Darius rushed to the lion's den where Daniel has been sealed to die. He cried, "Daniel, the servant of the living God. Has your God whom you serve continually being able to save you or not?" Daniel replied, "O king, recovery has answered! Salvation has worked for me!" Look at how he puts it to the king.
Daniel 6:21-22, KJV
"21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. 6:22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt."
Did you see that? Yesterday, I was ruminating on the expression, "where there's no doctor". I know there's a book like that. Then, the Holy Spirit said to me, "where there's no doctor, you can pray!" Therefore, where the charmer can't charm today, God is ready to help. Over all situations that are dilapidated and are already collapsing, I declare, begin to experience recovery. Recover! Know God's salvation and amend from that corrupted state to the perfect model. Everything, anything that has being spoilt, plundered, dispersed is being gathered back now. Paul recovered, Daniel was recovered, Adelaja was recovered, you're recovering also. I heard something now. "Recovery from every wound, especially wound of the head". Anyone wounded on the head, be healed. Let your leadership power be restored. Salvation is walking and surging your highways now. Amendment is being done. Yes, amendment. All our missionaries are saved. What they'll experience at every juncture is God's salvation!
PRAYER: Father, I enjoy recovery, salvation and amendment. I see the end of all arguments and I last.
