Reclaiming Lost Blessings

Have you ever pondered the possibility of reclaiming lost blessings? I mean those blessings that slipped away due to mistakes, ignorance, rebellion, or a lack of understanding of times and seasons. If such thoughts have brought you here today, be encouraged; the answer is a resounding YES. 

The path to reclaiming lost blessings is a journey marked by faith, humility, and a sincere desire to submit and align with God’s will without reservations. In this journey of restoration, we discover valuable lessons. We learn to rely solely on God’s Word, to trust Him more deeply, and to cultivate an attitude of gratitude while gaining a deeper understanding of His character.

Reclaiming Lost Blessings: How to Get Them Back

Reclaiming lost blessings can be a bother for most Christians. The good news is that it is possible. For us who seek to reclaim lost blessings, practical instructions are readily available within the pages of the Bible.

Cast Your Cares on Him

Casting all your cares upon God, as advised in 1 Peter 5:7, is a transformative step. It helps shed doubt, anxiety, and worry associated with missed opportunities. This process requires humility, a willingness to forsake pride, and a steadfast belief in God’s faithfulness to His promises. Letting go may seem challenging initially, but victory becomes inevitable as you fill your heart with the knowledge of who God is.

Seek His Face Through Prayer

In our Christian journey, some may run swiftly but in the wrong direction, causing missed opportunities due to a lack of awareness of God’s perfect will. Prayer becomes a compass, guiding us away from mistakes and toward God’s intended path. When we submit our visions and plans through prayer, especially when seeking restoration for lost blessings, God reveals the steps to reclaim them. It could be in the form of Thanksgiving, a humble plea for mercy, or earnest intercession for others. Philippians 4:6-7 assures seeking His direction in prayer guards our hearts, and minds with peace.

Knowing the voice of God

Knowing the voice of God is essential, and this knowledge comes by following His commandments, as emphasized in the books of John 10:27 and the diligent study of the Word. The devil often appears as an angel of light with the right words, but it’s coming from the wrong voice, just as satan quoted scriptures to Jesus: the wrong voice was speaking at that moment, so one needs to be very discerning. To reclaim what you have lost, you must learn to know God’s voice, not just the words spoken, because words, if not carefully discerned, can lead to destruction Proverbs 14:12.

Obedience

Obedience is not a mere instruction; it is an expression of our love for God. Partial obedience is still disobedience, as illustrated in the story of King Saul in 1 Samuel 15. Complete obedience to God’s commands, such as those found in Joshua 1:8 and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17, can pave the way for recovering lost blessings. Trust in God’s mercy, for when we align ourselves with His instructions, He redeems times and seasons for our sake.

Trust God’s Timing

Patience, a fruit of the spirit, is crucial in working alongside God. Understanding that there is no rush in His divine plan allows us to strengthen our faith. With patience, we permit God’s perfect work to unfold, as highlighted in James 1:3-4. Waiting on Him for our lost blessings assures us that He is working behind the scenes. In due time, as promised in Joel 2:25-27, God will restore all that was lost because He is faithful to His word.

Conclusion

Reclaiming lost blessings is a reflective journey encompassing prayer, faith, repentance, and trust in God’s perfect timing. Our Heavenly Father stands ready to restore whatever we lost because of His immense love for us, provided we approach Him with a broken and contrite heart. May every step of our life’s journey bring glory to His name, for such is the desire of our Heavenly Father.
