Today we will be dealing with 20 bible verses on Repentance and Restoration. Sin hinders blessings from being accomplished, it Hinders a man from accomplishing greatness. Sin also delays the promises of God from coming into fulfillment in the life of a believer. But genuine repentance brings reconciliation between man and God. When a man repents from his sin, the distorted relationship between him and God will be mended. And When a man is reunited with God through repentance, there will be a restoration of lost blessings, hindered breakthroughs, and missed opportunities from God.
Joel 2:25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. The eyes of the Lord are not too heavy to see our situation, neither are his hands too heavy to save us. But it is our sin that has created a barrier between us and Him. When we repent from our sin, our salvation is restored. And we take back the position we once lost in God. When this happens, the covenant of restoration will begin to work in lives.
The moment Isreal fell into sin, the covenant of God over their life came to a halt. The people of God that were meant to be leaders became laborers. They were meant to live in abundance yet, they are living in penury. Until Isreal repented from their evil ways and went back to God that was when things began to change for them. The God who has the power to restore everything brought back His covenant for their lives as people and as a nation.
