INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Friday, September 19, 2025 Topic: MIRACULOUS TURNAROUND ( Part 2)! Memory Verse: "When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream" - Psalms 126:1 NKJV Bible Text: Zephaniah 3:20 NKJV 20. At that time I will bring you back, even at the time I gather you; for I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I return your captives before your eyes,” says the Lord. INSPIRATION: Divine turnarounds are miracles that surpass our expectations, and leave us in a dreamland (Ps. 126:1)! God has a fixed time for your affliction to end. At the appointed time, He will bring you back (Zeph. 3:20). What this implies is, He'd restore you. Restoration, in simple terms is, bringing you back to the state you were before things went wrong. Even so, there's another dimension to restoration, which takes you beyond your initial status before your fall to ensuring you're paid in arrears all you were due but denied while under the bondage of affliction. Hallelujah! A lot of us are so familiar with Joel 2: 25, "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you." Yet only a few pay attention to the next verse, which explains the reason for the restoration: "And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed" (Joel 2:26 KJV). The turnaround is to satisfy you so you can praise God. While at it, He ensures your shame is permanently removed. Glory to God! TODAY'S TAKE HOME: God intends for your turnaround to be a tool that evokes genuine praise to His name. God is not only fearful in praise, He's jealous for the lack of adequate praise on our part. PRAYER: O Lord, please give me the miracle of a total restoration in every area of my life where I had incured a loss; satisfy me early and show me Your salvation so that I can offer you worthy praise that is devoid of shame, in Jesus name.
