There is an adage that says, that time wasted cannot be regained, yes they may be right, but my Bible tells me that it is in possible with a man, but with God all things are possible.
There are so many of us today, who have written themselves off, and some are even trying to end up this life, and some have even committed suicide because, they fill the have wasted their own time, and life has disappointed them, No! There is still hope that sorpasses that time, which the owner of life has in stock, for those who destined to fulfill popose in life.
The young boy strips off, of his garment here in the picture standing in the midst of his brothers, is the boy the Bible called "JOSEPH THE DREAMER" This boy was the same boy with the coat of many colors, the favorite of his father, but by envy and jealouse, he was sold out of his destiny, to a strange land where he became a slave, and wasted all his Ellie years in slavery and in prison. But there is something you must learn from here, he never give up and does not disconnect from the rightful owner of life, the Bible says that, "God" got the times and seasons in his hands, he call forth light out of dackness, and he don't need a man to be the God he is, and that is why he has also chosen to call you and I His own. And when that God that can restore life visited him, the Bible says that, he became a gorvernor even in a strange land. To some persons, they could have given up and say God have disappointed them, that was God not there when my brothers were selling me into slavery, and where is God when master was putting me into prison, but he didn't, but hold on to the restoral of life. No wonder God restore his wasted years. You have the full restoration story in the Bible book of Genesis chapter number (41:9-40).
Somebody may say, that of JOSEPH, it is because his brothers sold him that is why God intervain and restored to him all his wasted years, NO it is because he connect to the restorer. Now look at what happened in the Bible book of Luke charpter number ( 15:11-32). About the prodigal son, The Bible says that, there a man who has two sons, and the younger one came to the Father and said to him to share his properties and give him his own portion, the Bible says, that the man did not say no, why because it his inheritance and the Bible says that, the Father shared the properties and give to him his portion The Bible says that after some days the young man traveled to a far country and began arrogant life over there, eating and drinking, womanizing and became a big boy of the town and he gadared many friends, who helps to bring him down.
Now listen to this, this young man has forgotten that he has disconnected from the source of supply and restoration, and he was spending until the treasury was empty, and there is no more to spend, and all the friends ran away. There was a musician called Williams Oyenbor. In one of his album, he says that, when the going is smooth and good many many people will be your friend, but when the going is rough and back, many many friends will run away, they will disappear and will never come back, but when they come back, they have come back to heavily knock you down down down down. So this young man was stranded in that city, no even food to eat until he make himself a slave to an indigen in that land, but still, the problems grow worse.
But when he remembered that he has a Father, that the Father have slaves, who have enough to eat and then have reserve he come back to his senses and said to himself, I will arise and go back to my Father, the Bible says that, when he come back to his Father, just to say, I am not worthy to be your son, but make me one of your servant. But the Bible says that, when the Father saw him from afar, he ran to meet him, embrace him and kissed him, even though the young man was appealing to be servant ? The Father was busy commanding his servants to prepare a celebration for his restoration. And that day that young Mans wasted years was fully restored .
Today if only you can return to the maker of life, there is nothing you have lost that is due for you, that he cannot restore back to you in the fullness. Jesus said, come unto me all that are heavy ladened and over Borden, and I will give you rest. In the Bible book of Joel charpter number (2:25-26). And it says, So I will restore to you the years that the swaming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust and chewing locust has eaten, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has done wonderfully with you, and my people shall never be put to shall. " JESUS is calling you today, he is calling you from the life of wasted years. Thank you for reading this my aticle God bless you and be transformed, Jesus loves you so do I.
So elaborative. I must restore wasted years, God being my helper
