THOSE WHO LOST THE IRREPLACEABLE - Taken From Your Head Series 001
Genesis 24:67, KJV
"And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."
If you have lost the irreplaceable, you may need to speak with Isaac. He knows what it means to lose the irreplaceable. Losing the irreplaceable here isn't the loss of someone due to one's carelessness or cause. It is when death claims the life of someone who's of immense value to you/in your life.
One major thing that happens when people are taken over our head suddenly by death is that there's a vacuum. That gap is created because they are no longer around let alone available to meet certain needs they've been consistently meeting in our lives. Irreplaceable people in our lives may be parents, spouses or siblings. It may even be a fellow who's not related by blood or marriage but who's very close. Such disappearance is nothing short of calamity.
When Sarah, Isaac's mother passed away, Isaac was alone. Apart from being emotionally disturbed for having lost a valued one in his life, he could have missed all the kinds of help the mother used to render. That could range from being a counsellor, encourager, cook etc.
But the Bible records that he got a replacement in Rebekah. A better replacement for that matter. His mother couldn't give him sex but Rebekah even went on to comfort or give him that added ministration.
Genesis 24:67, KJV
"And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."
Isaac brought her into her mother's tent. I don't think this is the culture back then but Isaac could have done this because that tent was available or because of his closeness to his mum or because he wanted some continuity where the mother had left it. You know, because he hoped to have someone who'll continue in her mother's stead. For that reason, she brought Rebekah into her mother's tent. That act is not without a reason anyway.
Rebekah became his wife and he loved her. Afterwards, he was comforted! What I'm praying for each and every one of you who have lost an irreplaceable one is that you'll find a replacement and be comforted. Children who have lost parents need those who'll adopt them. We all know that. Else, they may not be properly raised and comforted.
An irreplaceable one looks irreplaceable because of their great value or contributions to our life. However, God can give you another helper who'll do likewise or surpass them even in deeds. And as far as God is concerned, He wants your tomorrow to be greater than today. What He does is to keep equalizing us with the better. The path of the just is as the shining light which shines more and more unto the perfect day. God's thought for us is of good and of evil to give us a hope and a future. You can't diminish in your journey with God. He achieves that by finding you better persons and graces that can make you better. God won't allow you to retrogress or fail because of certain ministrations you couldn't receive into your life again. No! Death might have cut it off unplanned but whenever the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift a standard against him (Isa.59:19). That standard can be an act in the replacement God will give you so that you can be comforted, equalized and even win the situation on ground.
I pray for you, "you shall be comforted! Anything that can end your mourning and bring soothing comfort into your life, receive it now in Jesus' name! May God give you persons where you've lost one (except for a spouse since that concerns marriage). You'll only need a man or a woman to bring back those good memories. So shall it be.
PRAYER: The Restorer and Master Aider restores my comfort and joy. I am aided by the right person.
