TEXT: "And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the  Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before" (Job 42:10)

God is committed to restoring us this month (Joel 2:25-26). He is not a man that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent (Num 23:19). He is not moved by how close we are to the end of the month; one week is too much for Him to fulfil His promise of restoration in your life. Today's anchor scripture shows us one of the ways we can provoke our restoration!

1. COMMIT TO PRAYING FOR OTHERS:

Some are too full of "me, I, myself" mentality and it has robbed them of God's intervention. You focus on yourself too much which prevent the Hand of God from reaching you. Until Job shifted his focus from self to his friends, his restoration did not happen. He shifted his focus from his problem to the problems of his friends. Little did Job know that his restoration was tied to his intercession for his friends. That may be true of you today, beloved.

Stop praying for yourself and needs and pray for the needs of others. This is the secret that Job traded. It worked for him, it will work for you too. This means, instead of praying for God to restore your marriage, pray for the unmarried for God to connect them to their ordained spouses. And for you who need a life partner, pray for those who have challenges in their homes. You want a job? Pray for the jobless. Are you waiting for fruit of the womb? Pray for others. What you make do for others God will make do for you. Whatever area you need restoration, look for someone in that line this week and start to pray for him/her. That's how it works!

PRAYER: I see God filling every vacuum in your life as you stand in the gap for others in Jesus name!
