After Revival Comes Restoration

After a period of revival, restoration is inevitable. Those who had backslidden will certainly be brought back to a right relationship with the Lord. Not only will the backsliders be restored, there will also be a massive conversion of sinners.

^{__Micah 4 :6-13__6.In that day, says the Lord, I will assemble the lame, and I will gather those who have been driven away and those whom I have afflicted.
7.And I will make the lame a remnant, and those who were cast off a strong nation; and the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion from this time forth and forever.
8.And you, O tower of the flock, the hill and stronghold of the Daughter of Zion, unto you the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the Daughter of Jerusalem.
9.Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken you like a woman in labor?
10.Writhe in pain and labor to bring forth, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth; for now you shall go forth out of the city and you shall live in the open country. You shall go to Babylon; there you shall be rescued. There the Lord shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11.Now many nations are assembled against you, saying, Let her be profaned and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.
12.But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, neither do they understand His plan, for He shall gather them as the sheaves to the threshing floor.
13.Arise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion! For I will make your horn iron and I will make your hoofs bronze; you shall beat in pieces many peoples, and I will devote their gain to the Lord and their treasure to the Lord of all the earth.}

Prophet Micah assured the nation of Israel that even though they willbe taken to Babylon because of their sins, the Lord will certainly rescue them and bring them back. The nations do not understand the plans that God had for His people, so they thought He had forsaken them. Israel will again have complete victory over her enemies when God restores her fortunes.

The Church in Nigeria will likewise live in complete victory over sin when God restores her. The Church leaders and members alike will no longer bring reproach to the name of Christ, and Christ will reign as Lord over His Church forevermore. When God restores the Church, the economy of the country will also be affected positively. The riches of other nations will be transferred to our country, not through fraudulent means but by commerce. The key players will be the Church members who will use these riches for God's kingdom and His gospel.

^{Prayer : Lord, restore your church to a right relationship with you so that you can reign over your people in righteousness}
