Real Restoration

“For the LORD will restore the excellence of Jacob Like the excellence of Israel, For the emptiers have emptied them out And ruined their vine branches.” ‭‭Nahum‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/nam.2.2.nkjv If favour is equitable and fair, breakthrough in career, family, business, and professional life will be strictly based on brilliant performances. In real world, favouritism is a tool in the hands of corrupt minds in the world’s ivory towers. Oftentimes, the excesses of the emptiers in every human excellence drive is a test of the righteous’ humility and consistency. Like in the deplorable experiences of Jacob and Israel, application for recognition and rewards saps out the juice from the upright’s vine branches. And the pressure to achieve breakthrough attracts compromises and a deviation from the truth, leading to the celebration of transient restoration. However, real restoration comes from the Lord; and His unfailing promises are more reliable. Actually, all emptied inve...

Emptier of Emptiers

"For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob Like the excellence of Israel, For the emptiers have emptied them out And ruined their vine branches". (Nahum 2:2 NKJV) Victims of destruction would not hesitate to respond to the offer to appease the gods, as long as it is believed that they are the emptiers of precious treasures. Although Jacob's gates and the shields of its valiant men are no match to the slightest threat of Nineveh, thousand of sacrifices to any god of Nineveh would not guarantee the desired restoration of peace in Israel. The only sacrifice that matter must seek peace with the Emptier of emptiers - the Almighty God. The restoration power of the Emptier of emptiers is not limited to the prospect to recover whatever the emptiers have emptied, but it extends to the potency of His re-creation. The Emptier of emptiers deserves our unreserved adoration.

Collaborative Confidence

"For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob Like the excellence of Israel, For the emptiers have emptied them out And ruined their vine branches". (Nahum 2:2 NKJV) Irrespective of background and the circumstances surrounding the place of birth, every creature of God represents dominion and excellence. However, the enemy is the emptier of God's purpose in life, subject to man's approval. In spite of the emptier's destructive agenda and like unto Israel or Jacob, God's purpose for man's excellence remains the same. As soon as we are prepared to restore confidence in God's promises, the implementation of heaven's agenda becomes reactivated. Consistent collaboration of human confidence is equal to God's manifestation.
