Road of Restitution | Giles Stevens | Mar. 16, 2025


Listen Later

God is not just a God of restoration but of

restitution—He doesn’t just bring things back to how

they were but makes them better than before. In

Christ, we don’t merely regain what was lost; we

receive double for our trouble (Job 42:10). This is

the heart of the gospel: Adam walked with God, but

through Jesus, God now dwells within us. The fall

of man set the stage for a greater revelation of God's

grace and love, proving that all things work

together for good (Romans 8:28).

Key principles to walk in restitution:

1. Victory is already won. God told Joshua,

“See, I have given Jericho into your hand”

(Joshua 6:2). Our battle is not to gain victory,

but to stand in the victory already secured

through Christ.

2. It’s a matter of God’s timing. Just as

Joshua marched for seven days, patience and

faith are required. “Those who have faith and

patience inherit the promises” (Hebrews 6:12).

Delayed blessings often mean greater

breakthroughs.

3. Proclaim the gospel. The priests blew the

ram’s horn, symbolizing the preaching of

Christ’s victory. When we declare the gospel,

faith arises and walls fall.

4. Keep Christ at the center. The Ark was in

the midst of the people, reminding us to fix

our eyes on Jesus(Hebrews 12:2) rather than

focusing on ourselves or our circumstances.

5. Declare victory with a great shout! The

Israelites saw the walls fall after they shouted

in faith (Joshua 6:20). Similarly, our

declarations of faith open the doors for God’s

power to manifest.

God’s promise of restitution means you are not

defined by past losses. Whatever you’ve endured,

your story is not over! Just as Job received double,

God is preparing more than what was taken. He is

not just restoring; He is upgrading. Shout your

victory!

Key Scriptures:

• Job 42:10 – “And the Lord restored the

fortunes of Job, when he had prayed for

his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice

as much as he had before.”

• Isaiah 61:7 – “Instead of your shame you

shall have double honor, and instead of

confusion they shall rejoice in their

portion. Therefore in their land they shall

possess double; everlasting joy shall be

theirs.”

• Joshua 6:20 – “When the people heard

the sound of the trumpet, and the

people shouted with a great shout, the

wall fell down flat.”

Challenge for the Week: Declare this aloud

each morning:

“I receive God’s restitution in my life.

What was lost will be returned greater

than before. I stand in victory through

Jesus Christ!” Amen . I believe it!
