Hi and welcome to the Walk with me, masi Gwanyalke. Today I'll be sharing with you something I read in the Bible and it clicked and it was just very interesting for me to understand. It was regarding recompense. What is recompense? Recompense is to repay, reward or restore, and many a times many of us have lost things our long life. So you've lost time in terms of an education you probably wanted to take, but you never had the resources, so you had to forgo one thing or another. We have compromised things in our lives as we've gone by, and so many a times we've lost opportunities, chances and time.
Speaker 1:
But I'm here to encourage you today and to tell you that there is the Lord of recompense, the Lord who repays. And as I was reading in Jeremiah 51 and verse 56, which says and I will read from the MKJV version because the plunderer comes against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of his bow is broken. For the Lord is the God of recompense, he will surely repay. And there are other versions that say for the Lord is a God of retribution. And in a season and a time where you feel like, how can I even gain time? How can I buy time. You've lost so many opportunities. How will I be able to get this repaid?
Speaker 1:
I'm here to encourage you and to tell you that the Lord, the God of recompense, is the one who repays you, he is the one who is able to restore you, he is the one who is able to return everything back to full. And I also got to understand, and according to the Hebrew word, that God means L and recompense means gemual. So there is L gemual. So when you pray, you call upon L gemual, the Lord of recompense, who will repay you and repay everything that you desire to be returned back to you. And God is a God who restores, and when he restores he doesn't go back in time and begin to wonder how to restore. It is in his nature and the fullness of time to restore your life back to normal.
Speaker 1:
So, are you seeking a restoration in one area or another? Indeed cry unto Thay to compensate you or retribute you back that which was stolen by the enemy and restore you back. So let's pray and let's call upon L gemual that he who hears, he who answers and at his own time, he will be able to restore everything back to full. Let's pray, our Lord and our God, we come before you this day. Indeed, you are the God of recompense, the God who restores and repays.
Speaker 1:
Father, we thank you for this word, oh God, and indeed we are calling upon your name, the name that is above every other name, the name of Jesus, to call upon you, to ask that you will restore every area of our life that has been stolen by the enemy, that has been eaten up by the conker worms, that has been destroyed. And many times we wonder when will we ever be able to repay, when will we be able to reach at par, when will we be able to reach a certain level in life? And so, father, we call upon you, oh God, god of recompense, begin to restore, begin to return that which the enemy has stolen from us. For we pray all this, believing and trusting in Jesus name. Amen.
