Total Recovery – by Apostle Paul Oduneye

“(18)And David recovered all the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. (19) And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.”
1Samuel 30:18-19
Hear the word of God and by the grace of God, the Lord has sent me to deliver this message about Total Recovery.
Restoration is another way of putting these two words together which is the bringing back of what the enemy has taken away from a person.
There is one great enemy, that is the enemy of every human being living on this planet Earth. He is Lucifer (Satan) perennial adversary of all human beings from generation to generation. Even from the time of the Garden of Eden, he (in serpent form) was there.
The Lord Jesus (in John 10:10) says, that he (the devil) is a thief who cometh to steal and destroy making him the antagonist, the bad person who steals away what belongs to people on Earth, treasures and blessings of heaven for the people of God taken away by the enemy.
But it is the will of God to restore everything or whatever was stolen away from you.
I don’t know what you have lost spiritually speaking like you used to practice reading the Bible, praying daily, zealously taking part in the Lord’s service, speaking in tongues, doing many things for God. You remember doing those things with enthusiasm but no longer anymore. The enemy of God must have stolen something very important in you as far as your walk with the Lord is concerned.
Before you finish reading this book, by the grace of God, whatever the enemy has taken away from you, He will restore them for you in the precious name of Jesus!
You recollect some years back, enjoying what we call a clean bill of health. You used to move things using your sturdy body this and that, you used to do things but now, you hardly do a thing or two anymore. Since the sickness came, you have been appare knocked down. Regaining energy on your part seems a useless pursuit.
I am telling you, in the name and by the authority of Jesus, when you hear this declaration, God is bringing restoration of ability and good health to you!
The Bible says God will restore back to you good health. Jeremiah 3:17 says, “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; “
He will gave back for you the strength and the good health which the enemy took away from you. He can also do the same to your job and your business where once you enjoyed monetary abundance as business was on the upswing and financially, investment was rolling well. Suddenly, you lost every investment you had, now you have absolutely nothing. You may have been broken down because of that misfortune.
I am telling you, nothing is impossible with God. He will restore what you have lost and he will bring back in multiple fold that which were taken away, in the name of Jesus!
The job you lost, God is able to bring it back! You might have lost that business, that is not the end of your story. God is able to restore it back! You must have remembered having so much money in your account, enjoying so much blessing from God financially. But now, cash is exhausted. Hear me now, God is filling your account again in the name of Jesus!
He is a God of restoration! He is able to recover what the adversary has taken away from you.
That is why He sent this message to you.
Before I wrap up this message, by the authority of God, your blessings will be left behind by and from the hand of the enemy. Everything will be delivered to you. Your good health will be delivered. Spiritual growth will be delivered. Your divine blessings will be delivered. Your progress, your success will be delivered. Also the joy of your family will be delivered, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. He is a God restoration and He has the capacity to do it.
When the man called David lost many things, through the attack of the enemy, the Scriptures said, “David recovered ALL.” He recovered all, nothing was left behind. If David did recover all, you, too, can recover ALL in the name of Jesus!
You may be in the hospital bed, or lying in bed at home sick, crying the whole time, drowning yourself in sorrow, I am telling you right now, God shall bring back your joy. God will heal you now! You will rise up and walk again. With God’s doings, you will have a testimony that you have overcome that sickness, that you have overcome the problems in the name of Jesus Christ.
It’s your day of restoration. It’s your day of recovery. It’s a day to carry back what has been lost. Satan is in trouble today. Whatever the demons have taken off you, you are getting back! In the precious name of Jesus!
Psalm 126:1 says, “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.” Reading this prophetic word, God sent me to share this word with you and surely it will come to pass in your life.
When God brings everything back that Zion had lost, when he brings the blessings back to Zion, He said it was as if in a dream. There is a reason to be astonished. You must be wondering if you were the same person the enemy has harassed, was made to suffer and has tormented. You may have asked God how will you be able to stand and be blessed again.
Listen, that is going to be your testimony very soon. About that wonderful circumstance in your life, about that new home, about receiving a blessing, about having that happy abode, about having back your blessings. You think as if you are dreaming. God is going to surprise you.
I see the miracle of God coming your way. I see celebration in your life. I see people gather and congratulate you in the name of Jesus Christ!
We were like those who are just dreaming, surprised and in a state of happy disbelief, wondering if you can still have joy (inner happiness), that life hasn’t ended yet for you. You can still have that joy as you have been surprised with. You are wondering if you still can rise again, have that joy again. Obviously, God has just done it for you!
It is called Total Recovery. This will eventually be your testimony in the precious name of Jesus.
God is a God of recovery. God is a God Who will favorably and graciously bring things back to His people. It doesn’t matter how many years have gone by, how many years you have been abandoned, God is about to restore your joy. You will be restored.
The Bible says in Joel 2:25, “And I will restore to you that years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.”
He said I will bring them back, for there will be latter rain and the former rain, and you’ll be surprised and will praise the Lord that dealt wondrously with you, that would be your portion in Jesus name!
This is not just an ordinary message, this is a prophetic word for you. Whatever you lost in the past, God is bringing back in double folds, He will restore back to you.
When God starts working this restoration for you, what will be your role? What will happen? For every release of God’s kingdom, you and I have a role to play. You have to do your part and God will do His part. God is always willing and is always ready to restore back to you. Again, you need to do your part for God to be allowed to restore things.
There are five important steps to take in order to bring every lost glory and blessing and years of joy into restoration. Hear the Word of God, by the authority in the name of Jesus, NONE of your blessings will remain in the care of your enemy.
For the recovery of miracle, blessing and joy,
1.LOCATE YOUR DESTINY-MAKER.
This is the number one step. Jesus Christ, the King of Glory, the Potter of our life, is able to remold and to restore and recover whatever is needed in your life.
It is a pity that when people have problems, upon losing some good and great things which the devil snatched away, they start looking for sly ways in order to recover. They leave behind their Creator and are pursuing their own way to gain back the loss. No devil can deliver you from devil.

The enemy has attacked your health and you start looking for the native (or quack) doctor to give you cure. You are now seeking help from these fake people, the agents of the enemy to help you in recovery. Doing that, you are just entering from frying pan to fire. When the enemy is in this kind of devouring spree, do not put your trust in human beings for restoration.
You immediately have to return to your Creator to bring recovery.

Life, as you experienced it, has been very profitable to you before. Things were fine as you keep up being a good Christian (following Him, walking in the ways of the Lord) suddenly, along the way, you diverted and have become disobedient, carried away by the lust of this world. The friends that you keep and the fleshly tendencies have made you forget the ways of the Lord as a result. You lost many things like your job, prosperity and God’s favor. It seems you can no longer rise again having lost God in the equation.

This is the good news I have for you. This is the best time to return to the Creator of your life. Locate Him again. We have always heard the Bible story of the prodigal son. The Word said, the son lost everything he inherited. But when he came to his senses and realized that instead of letting himself struggle, he’d rather return to his father’s fold.

The Bible said, when he went back to his father, they celebrated the restoration because wayward son gained back his sonship.

Listen! God is a good God. He is never happy when you experience challenges caused by your disobedience to Him. Jesus is looking at you as the person whom He sacrificed His blood for redemption and not the person who keeps facing problems and wallowing in sin, unprepared and unwilling yet to come back to the Father’s flock.

God is calling you, saying “My son, My daughter, you can come back home. I am willing to receive you, I am willing to remold you and I am willing to restore back what the adversary has stolen away from you.”

It is not yet late. This is the best time for you to make a decision: to locate your Creator again.

Matthew 8:2-3 says, “(2) And behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. (3) And Jesus put forth His hand, and touching him saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately, His leprosy was cleansed.”

The Bible recounted lepers discovered Jesus went to the land, one of them “wisened up”, he went straight to the Creator whom he considered can mold him, who can make a change in him and who can restore his well-being which the enemy has destroyed. He came to Jesus and said, “Jesus, if you would be willing, make me healed.” The Bible said, Jesus stretched His hand, touched the man and immediately the leprosy disappeared.

You need to locate the right way. You have tried all efforts to recover, you’ve been to many hospitals and there’s no cure, there’s no way out even if you have tried all kinds of medicines. You have trusted human beings, but they betrayed you, let you down. I have a good news, there’s someone who can never fail you, there’s somebody who loves you no matter how big the problems, no matter how insurmountable they are. There is God that is bigger than those problems, that is your Creator. You just need to restore yourself and your relationship back to Him. Just come back to Him, locate Him and your blessing will be restored.

Just make a decision. “Jesus, I’m ready,” He is ever kind. He is a merciful God. He will surely embrace you and He will bring back what you have been trying to collect back from the enemy yourself. Your ability is not enough, He will bring it back to you.

Today, I see you receiving back your blessings in the mighty name of Jesus.

If you want God to recover your lost blessings for you, if you want the miracles back to you, to regain those years of enjoyment, God is still in the business of restoration, of recovery in the life of His people. He can do it for you, only follow His rules.

2.It Takes Discovery to Recover.
For you to recover what the enemy took away, you need discovery that will open recovery’s door. If you don’t discover it, you may not be able to recover it as a result. By discovery, it’s easy to possess it.

2Kings 6:6-8 says, “(6) And the man of God said, where fell it? And he shewd him the place. And he cut down a stick and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.(7) Therefore said he, take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it (8) Then the King of Syria warred against Israel and took council with his servants saying, in such and such a place shall be my camp.”

When the people, the sons of the prophet, decided to construct a new building, for expansion for betterment in life, the Bible said they borrowed an axe and started cutting the trees in the riverside. Unfortunately, the axe was removed and fell into the river.

As an act or symbol of returning to the Creator, the people cried to the prophet of God when they were in trouble (saying we just borrowed this, this is a loan, we loaned this for the capital of a business, everything is a last resort, we borrowed from our neighbor and it has fallen into the river), what shall they do? The prophet of God answered, “Where did the axe fall?”

That is discovery.

Before the recovery of your blessings, you need God to open your eyes to the way of recovering back. So you need to understand that your prayer must not only be comprised by asking God to bless you and do things for you. Another component to be included in your prayer must be for God to teach you how to get it back. Pray God to show so that you can get it back, to show you how and where to get it back.

Sometimes, there are circumstances that you lost blessings in the business and that God allowed it just get your attention, to change your location, to do your business in a newer or better way, to bring restoration (on what you lost) about.
Never dwell on the loss of, say, a spouse and never keep crying tears of sorrow and yet do nothing. Satan now has the chances to fill your life with more sorrow than you can handle. God will never recover for you until you return back to Him to search what’s next in your life.
Before the restoration, before recovery of your blessings happens, you need to make up your mind: to ask God for the discovery of the next episode of your life. Stop dwelling in your past.
There are many greater things for you than the ones you have lost. He wants to recover the things the devil took away from your life. You need to open your mind to discovering what’s next in the agenda of God for you.

The Bible says David lost all that he owned, the enemy fled with those, they took them away. David and his team cried over their great loss. The Bible stressed that they continue weeping over their plight until it exhausted their strength. Yet, nothing happened.
In your case, the situation of loss pinned you down sitting, feeling sorry and doing nothing new, and not taking a step again. Nothing of these decisions can bring back recovery of the purpose of God for you.
You need to open up, enlighten your mind with the new things of God for you. As for David, he strengthened himself (1Samuel 13:8). He moved to God and inquire of the Lord.
This is called “discovery.”
God can I ever get it back?
Can I pursue them?
Will I be able to succeed if ever I take this step?
God revealed to David that he can get them back, that he can pursue and do successfully.

When you get information from God, there will be easy recovery of what the adversary took away. If truly you want to get back your blessings and your treasures, you need to recognize discovery of the revelation or the guidance of the Almighty God. Ask Him to show you how to acquire back, to repossess your blessings. Ask the Lord to prove HIs word, to reveal to you. If these are all part of your supplication, you are on your way to recover everything.
This is because God knows everything and He had known what the enemy has been up doing. God is also in the know how to get them back.

3.Be Kind in Recovering it.
Human nature drives people to change character when they lose something or when they gripped by sad situations. They have a change of attitude because of the loss or because of discouragement. They become an enemy to everyone around them. They no longer want to see anybody because of their feelings.
Do not allow your feelings to deprive yourself of what God is going to do in your life. God wants to do new things in your life. To be able to get new things, one of the habits you need to possess is kindness. Be kind to people, show them kindness. Why do you need to be kind? You may never know whom God will use as instrument for the recovery of your lost blessings. God can use anyone. Besides, nobody can fulfill his destiny alone. You and I need somebody. Usually, God sends the right people to the direction of His own people.
God loves to work things out, connecting you to the right people but, somehow, (God in His ways) we may never see these people as the right ones.

Dwelling in your past, allowing past encounters to breed hatred in you rendering you unkind or turning you hateful, may never get you the right people who can help you.

David (in 1Samuel 30:11) took a step together with his troop on the way to looking for the possession, and getting them back. Along the way, they found one person in the wilderness. An Egyptian who was left behind by the team responsible for the attack. He had been in the wilderness for three days without food and was weak. God did not allow him to die. When God wants to do restoration for His people, the person God will use, He doesn’t allow them to die, because He knows they have something to do with your life.

When David found this man (one of those who took his things away), it was natural that he would react because of what he previously did. David had all the right to take revenge or kill that person. But David didn’t do that. The Bible mentioned, David gave him food and water to drink. In the process, the man’s strength came back, he regained his memory and David had the chance to interrogate him about what happened and about the troop. The man was able to explain the incident.
Sometimes, when God wants to restore your success, being kind or kindness is highly required. Nobody really knows, one act of kindness gets you the right person who will be of help someday.

A man looking for a job for so long has been going to big companies to land a job and hasn’t got any. One day, on his way out, he saw a woman standing beside her car which broke down. She was in a desperate need for assistance getting her tire replaced. The man accosted the woman and offered his help. The woman was more than glad to accept the offer. She got her tire replaced with the help of this jobless man. Once done, he bode the lady goodbye. The lady thanked him and left him a business card. He was told by the woman to come meet her one day at her office. He looked at the woman and left.
On the following day, the brother paid the woman a visit, and to his surprise, the woman he lent a hand to was with many staff in the office, she looked blessed to him. After a few exchange, they got acquainted to each other, the woman finding out his qualifications, offered him a job that day.
That man has been looking for a job and his one act of kindness (helping the woman with her car) opened a door for his recovery.
You don’t know whom you are extending help today that will bring recovery of your blessings. Who knows if God would lead you to help a widow, orphans or just any person. From there, God will bring a restoration of what you have lost for a long time.
If you aim to recover, maintain a good attitude. Be kind. You may be meeting human angels from God they may appear like a beggar, a slave or somebody insignificant or unwanted.
Never allow any circumstance or appearance take away your kindness. Don’t allow your present situation change your character.
David took good care of that Egyptian and from there, like the jobless man, got information how to get back his blessings. Getting blessings recovered is not just by chance or by accident or by your ability. You need God for this to guide you. The recovery has a process, there are things God will lead you to do that can open doors for the quick restoration of the things you have lost.
You wont miss the opportunity in Jesus name. So, be kind. Take care of that Egyptian today, for you do not know what tomorrow will bring. May the Lord bless you, hallelujah!

4.Fight For It.
Nobody gets into a house of a strong man and get his things without first binding the strong man of the house. Getting the things the enemy got from you entails a move: to get to the enemy, to go to their camp. You don’t get to the camp with all gentleness. If you want to get things back because they were snatched from you, engage yourself in the good fight of faith. You need to engage yourself in what we call a spiritual warfare.
Stand in the Spirit, enter the camp of the adversary and take back your stolen possessions. Deal with the devil actively not passively, certainly because Satan is a bad man. It is serious dealing with him. And he would never understand any of your gentle moves or words with him. Satan will only understand or entertain people who are enforcing the authority of the Lord Jesus.
You need to stand up and say “No, that is my rightful blessing, I claim it back in the name of Jesus. Devil, you have no authority over it. Devil, you now have to give up!”
Say these words to the enemy with authority and force. It is entering into the spiritual fight which means you are getting back everything by speed.
No act of gentleness in spirit or in the warfare can bring recovery to your miracle. If you want recovery, enter the enemy’s camp with the authority of the Lord Jesus, meaning with force. Enter the camp of the enemy with a prayer, destroy and break every yoke, and bring out what belongs to you. Then God will bring it to you in the name of Jesus. You need to fight it.

1Samuel 30:17 says, “And David smote them from the quick light even into the evening. In the next day, David was fighting them”.

David engaged himself in a warfare with them and there escaped not a man of them. Not one of the enemy escaped.
From today, none of your enemies will escape.
From today, those that escape with your blessing before, I see God arresting them for you and you will receive your blessing in the name of Jesus, amen.

If you observed and you have the feeling that it is not what you were created to be, it is not the real thing that God has destined for you to be, and you have not yet reached the position God has destined you to be in, then, begin to fight in Spirit in prayer.

Declare who you are in God and that the devil has no chance at all to mess with your blessings. Claim back what you had and assert authority over your claim.
Declare that sickness has no chance in your body, claiming that it is the temple of the Holy Spirit, that the disease is in the wrong place and it needs to go back where it came from, declare, “Get out of this body!”
That is how a fighter in the Spirit praise.
Satan sees a passive prayer particularly one that owns a sickness like saying “My diabetes” or “Satan, why bring high blood to this body” or “Let your will be done, Lord.”

Satan enjoys that kind of prayer and eventually will deliver to you the disease you just owned and named. This is so because the enemy will know that your are not a fighter in the Spirit. A fighter in the Spirit prays with “In the name of Jesus” and assertively and authoritatively declare “this body belongs to the Holy Spirit, sickness you have no place in this body, get out, this is not the place for cancer, for Covid 19, neither for high blood pressure.”

The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and the Bible states, (verse 7), “Woe unto anything the defiles the temple of the Holy Spirit” immediately, Satan will flee.

Back to David, the Bible continued “After he killed all of them. They tried to run and killed all of them and verse 18 stated they recovered all the blessings. David fought for the blessing, you also need to fight for it in the Spirit before recovering. As I am declaring this word, I can see a great spiritual warfare going on in the spiritual world. God is fighting the war for you, victory and blessing will be yours. You will regain your possession and the enemy will be a loser.

5.Engage Yourself in Continuous Praise.
The more you praise, the faster the recovery. If truly you want to recover your blessings, you must learn to praise God continuously.
1Chronicles 20:20-25 “after they praised and worship God… they found the blessings.” If you want your blessings, miracles and the wonders of God to continue in your life, always engage yourself in praising Him.

Never praise just once and stop. Continue day by day. You expect the Lord to bring or recover twenty blessings for you, twenty of your possessions and then you have received only two, it is not the time to complain. Out of the five illnesses, only one received healing, and you complained. One received miracle should put you in a festive mode, begin to celebrate and give praise to Jesus.
The more you give praises to Jesus for a miracle, the faster another will jump in and so on. Before you know it, you have total recovery of everything.

Hear me, the great plan of God is to give back all your blessings, all your miracles, all your possessions back to you. He is about to recover that joy for you but you need to engage yourself in praising and worshiping Him even when you don’t see any sign or you don’t understand it anymore.
Keep on praising God. Say, “Lord I give you praise for I will get hold of the double folds of my miracle. I give you praise, the better years, the better days are coming.”
Keep praising Him, celebrate it!

The more you praise Him, the weaker the enemy gets, the faster you will get your miracle and recovery of blessings.
~Apostle Paul Sunday Oduneye

It is your turn in the name of Jesus.
I tell you, something new is coming your way. Laughter is in order because of your joy coming. This is not the time to be complaining. Celebrate Him even for the miracles you have not seen or received yet. He will surprise you.

Prayer: Hallelujah! Jesus you are worthy to be praised. Thank You for Your Word sent to us again, Lord I commit every reader of this message. Save Your people. If there’s anyone here decided to comeback to You again, stretch forth Your right hand and rescue them in the name of Jesus. Let every chain of the enemy be destroyed. Break evey yoke of the enemy. Let the demonic harassment of Your people come to an end in the name of Jesus. From today onward, receive back the restoration of your miracle, the gift you have lost, receive it back. That blessing you have lost, receive it back. They joy of your salvation, receive it back. Power of holiness to do the will of God, to stand against the lies of the devil, receive it in Jesus name. I command whatever blessing the enemy took away from you, in the name and by the authority of Jesus, take it all back now. Receive it all back now. I prophesy your blessings are delivered in the name of Jesus. Receive in the name of Jesus. I see the delivery of your miracle, of your joy, of your promotion. The business comes back to prosperity, you will prosper again, you will succeed again. You will no longer be a failure in Jesus name. That joyful marriage, receive it now. Every joy you have lost, take it back.
Thank you Father, we give you all the glory in Jesus name, Amen and Amen!
