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

Nahum 2:1-6
Restoration means putting something back to its original state, i.e. repair or return to how it was previously. God promised to restore His children in our text to their former state of excellence after they had suffered in the hands of their emptiers.
The devil is the one who empties people of their worth and value; he ruins people’s character and personalities. He destroys homes and takes away the peace, unity and sometimes the lives therein. He empties young people of their dreams, destinies, courage, confidence, talents and even time. He is described as the thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy; that in fact is his ‘method of operation.’
So whenever you see traces of the operations of the devil in your life, rise up vehemently and resist him; don’t be deceived to think that maybe God wants to teach you a lesson by allowing those things in your life. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil so He couldn’t possibly endorse the work of the one He came to destroy.
God’s plans has always been and will continue to be, total-life prosperity for His children. He is our Restorer, and He will restore to us double portions of whatever the emptiers stole from us as He did for His children in times past in Jesus name.
May this Thursday signal the beginning of an era of TRANSFORMATION for you!
