Recover Your Losses By The Power Of God
Recover Your Losses By The Power Of God
Peter I. O
This book is written to quicken your mortal body, stair up your spirit, and encourage you to stand to your feet and recover all that Satan and his cohorts have stolen from you. You can’t afford to allow the Devil to retain the things he has stolen from you and continue stealing from you. There is a popular saying that; “every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner.” I don’t know how long the enemy has been stealing from you; it is time to recover and reclaim your losses.

Many people lose one thing or the other every day because Satan steals every day. As God gives us daily benefits, so Satan gives us daily problems. Unfortunately, the majority of these set of people who had lost great riches and virtues to Satan, are making little or no effort to recover their belongings from the Devil.
In John 10:10 Jesus said;
”The thief does not come except to steal, and kill, and destroy”
Many people are conversant with this scripture, yet they ignore this divine alarm. In this scripture, Jesus informed us that Satan is a thief and he comes to steal. It is the nature of Satan to steal. If he succeeds in stealing, it becomes easier for him to kill and destroy. This menace of Satan and his cohorts have reduced the potency of the virtues which God deposited in the lives of His people, and also render the destiny of many people useless. Satan has robbed many people of their salvation, gifts, talents, marriages, jobs, businesses, properties, and even their lives.
There are certain facts about a thief you should know;
A thief comes without notification.
A thief comes to rob you of your goods and belongings.
A thief can do anything to get what he wants, even if it means killing someone.
A thief is cruel and wicked.
A thief sees stealing as a business and not an act of evil.
A thief comes each time he noticed that something good has come into someone's life.
A thief is not mindful of your loss. He is mindful of his gain. Etc.
These ungodly characteristics of a thief should call for your attention, and also awaken you into realizing the damages the Devil might have done in the lives of many people, and the destruction he may still cause if you slumber in sleep and merry in relaxation without praying down the mighty hand of God to put an end to these evil operations of the Devil. You must be mindful of whatever the Devil has stolen from you and quickly seek for recovery through divine intervention.
In the same John 10:10 where Jesus informed us about evil plans of the Devil against us, Jesus also told us what He (Jesus) has come to do for us;
”I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly”
Satan came to steal, but Jesus came to recover and restore. Do you want to recover your losses? Then read this book meditatively and pray the prayers in it, and it will amaze you how God will miraculously recover your losses.
In this book, you will gain the following revelation knowledge:
UNDERSTANDING ”DIVINE WORKS OF RECOVERY”
HOW SATAN STEAL FROM PEOPLE
HOW GOD RECOVER AND RESTORE OUR LOSSES
OUR ROLES IN THE ”DIVINE WORKS OF RECOVERY”
HOW TO RETAIN WHAT WE HAVE RECOVERED
No one enjoys losing something good. A pregnant woman is never happy when she experiences miscarriage during pregnancy, or loses her child after birth. Businessmen and women feel so sad whenever they fail in any business venture. In sports, no team feels happy whenever they lose a match or tournament to their opponent. This is a general and natural feeling in all ramifications of life.
This book will enlighten you and equally help you to avoid those things which make Satan have the edge over you and steal from you. Avoid any form of distraction while reading this book and invite the Holy Spirit to conduct “Divine works of recovery” in your life.
Study this book with adequate devotion. Pray the prayers in this book, and you will see God recover your losses.

Chapter 1
UNDERSTANDING DIVINE WORKS OF RECOVERY
Two little boys of about ten years old were playing football on the street. Suddenly, the ball fell inside a hole that contains water in it. The little boys tried to get the ball out of the hole with a stick, but all their efforts proved abortive because the water in the hole keeps making the ball to revolve instead of coming out of the hole. When the little boys could not get the ball out of the hole, they sat on the ground and began to cry. While they were crying, a passerby stopped and compassionately asked them why they were crying. The little boys narrated to the man how their ball fell inside the hole, and they could not get it out of the hole despite all their efforts. Upon hearing the cause of their sorrows, the passerby took a long stick, brought out the ball from the hole, and handed it over to them. When the little boys saw the ball, they stood up and began to rejoice, and immediately resumed their play. The joy and happiness of the little boys were restored when they recovered the ball they lost.
This is exactly what happens when we recover what Satan has stolen from us.
Loss is painful, but Recovery is gainful and joyful. The height of loss which Satan has caused the affairs of humanity have reached the Almighty God in heaven. God in His infinite mercy and supremacy has seen the need to intervene in the affairs of humankind for total recovering and restoration of whatsoever the Devil has stolen from the people. Many people think and believe that the perpetration of stealing, which happens to be the major work of the Devil, ended after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, that is not the truth. Satan made the majority of people in the world believe this lies so that he can keep them in total ignorance of his evil devices. It is clearly stated in the Bible that Satan takes advantage of those who are ignorant of his evil works and activities.
“Lest Satan should take advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his devices” (2 Corinthians 2:11).
Apostle Paul understood the dangers of being unknowledgeable about the schemes of Satan, and he ensured he defeated the plans of the Devil by being spiritually alert and physically vigilant. There is nothing like "Satan or Demon emeritus”. Satan and his cohorts did not retire; neither did they relent after the triumphant of Jesus Christ over them at the cross of Calvary. Instead, Satan reinforced and regrouped with his spiritual and physical agents to unleash more afflictions and troubles against the creatures and children of God. Therefore, we need to be spiritually sensitive concerning the proceedings of our efforts in life, to ensure that the dockets of Satan do not limit us in any way. Indeed, Jesus Christ has defeated the Devil forever through His death and resurrection. But while the earth remains, Satan still believes he can cause great harm to humanity, and lead many people to Hell before his final damnation.
Jesus Christ admonished and encouraged us to hold firm what we have, lest we lose them (Revelation 2:25, Revelation 3:11). As long as the Devil exists and still performs his evil works and activities, someone can lose what he or she has if it is not firmly held in Christ Jesus. One of the necessary things we need in our lives is to recover the things we lost both in the physical and spiritual. This is because, one of the major works of the Devil (the adversary of the children of God), is to steal the good things that God is releasing to His children. Every creature of God depends on God for supernatural supplies, and God generously provides for all His creatures daily.
The Bible says in Psalms 68:19; "Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits". And in Psalms 19:1-2 the Bible also says,
"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork, day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge."
It is the will of God that we achieve profit and have sufficient benefits in every good and godly thing we do in life. In Matthew 6:11, Jesus Christ admonished us to ask for daily bread during our prayers; "Give us this day our daily bread." Our “daily bread” means our daily needs. Jesus said so because God is always willing and ready to supply our needs. God takes care of His creatures; He feeds us, cloths us, provides for us, gives us wisdom, reveals knowledge to us, and also protects our lives and belongings. Isn't it amazing that God does all these things for us? Unfortunately, these daily blessings and benefits elude many people, while the majority of people lose these benefits even after they have received them.
In the book of John chapter ten, verse ten, the Bible says, "The thief does not come except to steal and to kill, and to destroy."
There are specific facts about thieves that we should know;
1) A thief comes without notification.
2) A thief comes to rob you of your goods and belongings.
3) A thief can do anything to get what he wants, even if it means killing someone.
4) A thief is cruel and wicked.
5) A thief sees stealing as a business and not an act of evil.
6) A thief comes each time he noticed that something good has come into someone's life.
7) A thief is not mindful of your loss. He is mindful of his gain. Etc.
These ungodly characteristics of a thief or thieves should call for your attention, and equally awaken you into realizing the damages the Devil might have done in the lives of many people, and the destructions he may still cause if you slumber in sleep and merry in relaxation without praying down the mighty hand of God to put an end to these evil operations of the Devil.
It is the nature of Satan to steal. If he succeeds in stealing, it becomes easier for him to kill and destroy. This menace of Satan and his cohorts have reduced the potency of the virtues which God deposited in the lives of His people, and also render the destiny of many people useless. Satan has robbed many people of their salvation, gifts, talents, marriages, jobs, businesses, properties, and even their lives. It is not by accident that someone who used to be good, suddenly becomes evil. There is a high rate of divorce in the world today because the Devil has stolen the love of many marriages. Many spiritually active people suddenly became spiritually down because Satan has stolen their spiritual strength and effectiveness. God thinks and plans good for us, and He is always good to His creatures. But Satan vowed to steal and destroy this divine generosity given to humanity, and he is determined to continue these wicked acts with great aggravation. Therefore, you must be mindful of whatsoever the Devil has stolen from you and quickly seek recovery through divine intervention. Jesus Christ has purchased the redemption and restoration power for us. Therefore, we have to make of this divine power effectively in active exercises, both in prayer and works to enable us to recover all that we have lost.
No one enjoys losing something good. A pregnant woman is never happy when she experiences a miscarriage during pregnancy or loses her child after birth. Businessmen and women feel so sad whenever they fail in any business venture. In sports, no team feels happy whenever they lose a match or tournament to their opponent. In Luke 8:43-48, the Bible recorded the story of a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years. Because of her painful condition, she was so restless and unhappy that she had to sneak through the crowd and touched the hem of the garment of Jesus Christ so she could be healed and be free from her infirmities. The question here is, "Why did this woman take such drastic decision, even when she knew she could be rebuked by the people around Jesus Christ, and her action could be seen as encroachment?” The truth is that this woman had lost so much in life, and she didn’t want to continue loosing. In the past twelve years, she had lost so much blood, so much money, many friends and relatives. These are quite enough for someone to be distressed about, and that was how much virtues and blessings Satan stole from this woman before she encountered Jesus Christ.
Generally, we set goals and targets virtually in everything we do in life, and whenever we experience loss instead of gain, we feel so sad. The Bible says that "God loads us with daily benefits." We are destined to be the beneficiaries of God's goodness and not losers in any of our good and godly quests. We are encouraged to make more efforts when our works yield profit. But when we keep losing and losing despite our commitments towards our goals and visions, it makes one feel like quitting even when the future is very bright. Satan understood how frustrating it could be to lose what you suppose to get, that is why he chose "stealing" as one of his major schemes, and he is wickedly executing this evil plans in the lives of many people without any thought to relent.
The hope we have irrespective of what we have lost in life is that we have the potent power of God and also reserve the right to recover the things we have lost, no matter how far, how big, and how expensive it may be. God is still in the business of recovery and restoration, even unto the end of the earth. If you have lost any precious thing and it looks as if you won’t succeed in life, don't be down-casted, there is hope for you.
DIVINE WORKS OF RECOVERY IN THE LIFE OF JOSEPH
The story of Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, is an excellent example of how God recovers and restores our losses. It is an exciting biblical event that contains intriguing revelation knowledge of how God recover and restore His people. Joseph was a man whom God revealed the greatness of his destiny. Out of excitement, he related his dreams to his parents and his siblings, thinking they would rejoice with him. To his amazement, his parents and his siblings did not regard his dreams. The dreams which God revealed to Joseph sounded so fascinating in the ears of his brethren. Therefore, they doubted the possibility of such dreams coming to fulfilment. Joseph's family members came against him instead of encouraging him. As a result of this maltreatment, Joseph lost many things in the journey of his life because he was antagonized by his biological family members who supposed to be a source of encouragement to him.
Let's consider the things Joseph lost in the journey of his life.
1) Joseph lost parental love and care (Genesis 37:31-34)
2) Joseph lost his relationship with his brothers (Genesis 37:35)
3) Joseph lost his good health (Genesis 37:24)
4) Joseph lost his garment of many colours (Genesis 37:23)
5) Joseph lost his friends (Genesis 37:2)
6) Joseph lost his first job in his father's house (Genesis 37:2)
7) Joseph lost his second job in Potiphar's house as a governor (Genesis 39:3-6)
8) Joseph lost his garment of governorship in Potiphar's house (Genesis 39:10-16)
9) Joseph lost his freedom of movement because he was put in prison (Genesis 39:20-21)
10) Joseph "temporally" lost his value as a great man (Genesis 39:20).
Despite all this quantum of losses which were painful experiences in the life of Joseph, he had two things that upheld him and helped him to fulfil his dreams;
1) God
2) Life
Even if you lose everything in life, don't lose the presence of God. If God be with you and you have your breath in you, there is a divine assurance that you will recover all and even more. In the book of Job 2:6, Before Job was tested, God made a pronouncement, which assured that Job would recover whatsoever he may lose in the supernatural adventure.
"And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life."
Though unknown to Job, God preserved his life so He could restore his losses when the sore temptations are over. The two things Joseph had, which were “God and Life” that enabled him to fulfil his destiny, were the same things Job had, which guaranteed his recovery and restoration. The experience of Job was not an easy one because it was a combination of “Test from God and Temptation from Satan.” The questions I have for you are; "Do you have these two things? Do you have God and breathe of life in you?” If your answer to these questions is, “yes”, then there is adequate hope for divine recovery in your life irrespective of what you may have lost.
God chose to identify Himself as "I AM THAT I AM" to reveal to us that He is ever the same from ages to ages, and from generation to generation. The things He did thousands of years ago, He can still repeat them over and over again. If God could preserve Joseph and fulfil the dreams He showed him despite all his challenges; then God can also recover and restore all your losses.
As stated earlier, in this book, you will learn and gain the revelation knowledge on How Satan steals from the people, How God Almighty recover our losses, Our roles in the Divine works of recovery, and How to retain what we have recovered. Are you ready to acquire this life-changing knowledge? If you are ready, then continue reading.

Chapter 1
UNDERSTANDING DIVINE WORKS OF RECOVERY
Two little boys of about ten years old were playing football on the street. Suddenly, the ball fell inside a hole that contains water in it. The little boys tried to get the ball out of the hole with a stick, but all their efforts proved abortive because the water in the hole keeps making the ball to revolve instead of coming out of the hole. When the little boys could not get the ball out of the hole, they sat on the ground and began to cry. While they were crying, a passerby stopped and compassionately asked them why they were crying. The little boys narrated to the man how their ball fell inside the hole, and they could not get it out of the hole despite all their efforts. Upon hearing the cause of their sorrows, the passerby took a long stick, brought out the ball from the hole, and handed it over to them. When the little boys saw the ball, they stood up and began to rejoice, and immediately resumed their play. The joy and happiness of the little boys were restored when they recovered the ball they lost.
This is exactly what happens when we recover what Satan has stolen from us.
Loss is painful, but Recovery is gainful and joyful. The height of loss which Satan has caused the affairs of humanity have reached the Almighty God in heaven. God in His infinite mercy and supremacy has seen the need to intervene in the affairs of humankind for total recovering and restoration of whatsoever the Devil has stolen from the people. Many people think and believe that the perpetration of stealing, which happens to be the major work of the Devil, ended after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, that is not the truth. Satan made the majority of people in the world believe this lies so that he can keep them in total ignorance of his evil devices. It is clearly stated in the Bible that Satan takes advantage of those who are ignorant of his evil works and activities.
“Lest Satan should take advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of his devices” (2 Corinthians 2:11).
Apostle Paul understood the dangers of being unknowledgeable about the schemes of Satan, and he ensured he defeated the plans of the Devil by being spiritually alert and physically vigilant. There is nothing like "Satan or Demon emeritus”. Satan and his cohorts did not retire; neither did they relent after the triumphant of Jesus Christ over them at the cross of Calvary. Instead, Satan reinforced and regrouped with his spiritual and physical agents to unleash more afflictions and troubles against the creatures and children of God. Therefore, we need to be spiritually sensitive concerning the proceedings of our efforts in life, to ensure that the dockets of Satan do not limit us in any way. Indeed, Jesus Christ has defeated the Devil forever through His death and resurrection. But while the earth remains, Satan still believes he can cause great harm to humanity, and lead many people to Hell before his final damnation.
Jesus Christ admonished and encouraged us to hold firm what we have, lest we lose them (Revelation 2:25, Revelation 3:11). As long as the Devil exists and still performs his evil works and activities, someone can lose what he or she has if it is not firmly held in Christ Jesus. One of the necessary things we need in our lives is to recover the things we lost both in the physical and spiritual. This is because, one of the major works of the Devil (the adversary of the children of God), is to steal the good things that God is releasing to His children. Every creature of God depends on God for supernatural supplies, and God generously provides for all His creatures daily.
The Bible says in Psalms 68:19; "Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits". And in Psalms 19:1-2 the Bible also says,
"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork, day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge."
It is the will of God that we achieve profit and have sufficient benefits in every good and godly thing we do in life. In Matthew 6:11, Jesus Christ admonished us to ask for daily bread during our prayers; "Give us this day our daily bread." Our “daily bread” means our daily needs. Jesus said so because God is always willing and ready to supply our needs. God takes care of His creatures; He feeds us, cloths us, provides for us, gives us wisdom, reveals knowledge to us, and also protects our lives and belongings. Isn't it amazing that God does all these things for us? Unfortunately, these daily blessings and benefits elude many people, while the majority of people lose these benefits even after they have received them.
In the book of John chapter ten, verse ten, the Bible says, "The thief does not come except to steal and to kill, and to destroy."
There are specific facts about thieves that we should know;
1) A thief comes without notification.
2) A thief comes to rob you of your goods and belongings.
3) A thief can do anything to get what he wants, even if it means killing someone.
4) A thief is cruel and wicked.
5) A thief sees stealing as a business and not an act of evil.
6) A thief comes each time he noticed that something good has come into someone's life.
7) A thief is not mindful of your loss. He is mindful of his gain. Etc.
These ungodly characteristics of a thief or thieves should call for your attention, and equally awaken you into realizing the damages the Devil might have done in the lives of many people, and the destructions he may still cause if you slumber in sleep and merry in relaxation without praying down the mighty hand of God to put an end to these evil operations of the Devil.
It is the nature of Satan to steal. If he succeeds in stealing, it becomes easier for him to kill and destroy. This menace of Satan and his cohorts have reduced the potency of the virtues which God deposited in the lives of His people, and also render the destiny of many people useless. Satan has robbed many people of their salvation, gifts, talents, marriages, jobs, businesses, properties, and even their lives. It is not by accident that someone who used to be good, suddenly becomes evil. There is a high rate of divorce in the world today because the Devil has stolen the love of many marriages. Many spiritually active people suddenly became spiritually down because Satan has stolen their spiritual strength and effectiveness. God thinks and plans good for us, and He is always good to His creatures. But Satan vowed to steal and destroy this divine generosity given to humanity, and he is determined to continue these wicked acts with great aggravation. Therefore, you must be mindful of whatsoever the Devil has stolen from you and quickly seek recovery through divine intervention. Jesus Christ has purchased the redemption and restoration power for us. Therefore, we have to make of this divine power effectively in active exercises, both in prayer and works to enable us to recover all that we have lost.
No one enjoys losing something good. A pregnant woman is never happy when she experiences a miscarriage during pregnancy or loses her child after birth. Businessmen and women feel so sad whenever they fail in any business venture. In sports, no team feels happy whenever they lose a match or tournament to their opponent. In Luke 8:43-48, the Bible recorded the story of a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years. Because of her painful condition, she was so restless and unhappy that she had to sneak through the crowd and touched the hem of the garment of Jesus Christ so she could be healed and be free from her infirmities. The question here is, "Why did this woman take such drastic decision, even when she knew she could be rebuked by the people around Jesus Christ, and her action could be seen as encroachment?” The truth is that this woman had lost so much in life, and she didn’t want to continue loosing. In the past twelve years, she had lost so much blood, so much money, many friends and relatives. These are quite enough for someone to be distressed about, and that was how much virtues and blessings Satan stole from this woman before she encountered Jesus Christ.
Generally, we set goals and targets virtually in everything we do in life, and whenever we experience loss instead of gain, we feel so sad. The Bible says that "God loads us with daily benefits." We are destined to be the beneficiaries of God's goodness and not losers in any of our good and godly quests. We are encouraged to make more efforts when our works yield profit. But when we keep losing and losing despite our commitments towards our goals and visions, it makes one feel like quitting even when the future is very bright. Satan understood how frustrating it could be to lose what you suppose to get, that is why he chose "stealing" as one of his major schemes, and he is wickedly executing this evil plans in the lives of many people without any thought to relent.
The hope we have irrespective of what we have lost in life is that we have the potent power of God and also reserve the right to recover the things we have lost, no matter how far, how big, and how expensive it may be. God is still in the business of recovery and restoration, even unto the end of the earth. If you have lost any precious thing and it looks as if you won’t succeed in life, don't be down-casted, there is hope for you.
DIVINE WORKS OF RECOVERY IN THE LIFE OF JOSEPH
The story of Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob, is an excellent example of how God recovers and restores our losses. It is an exciting biblical event that contains intriguing revelation knowledge of how God recover and restore His people. Joseph was a man whom God revealed the greatness of his destiny. Out of excitement, he related his dreams to his parents and his siblings, thinking they would rejoice with him. To his amazement, his parents and his siblings did not regard his dreams. The dreams which God revealed to Joseph sounded so fascinating in the ears of his brethren. Therefore, they doubted the possibility of such dreams coming to fulfilment. Joseph's family members came against him instead of encouraging him. As a result of this maltreatment, Joseph lost many things in the journey of his life because he was antagonized by his biological family members who supposed to be a source of encouragement to him.
Let's consider the things Joseph lost in the journey of his life.
1) Joseph lost parental love and care (Genesis 37:31-34)
2) Joseph lost his relationship with his brothers (Genesis 37:35)
3) Joseph lost his good health (Genesis 37:24)
4) Joseph lost his garment of many colours (Genesis 37:23)
5) Joseph lost his friends (Genesis 37:2)
6) Joseph lost his first job in his father's house (Genesis 37:2)
7) Joseph lost his second job in Potiphar's house as a governor (Genesis 39:3-6)
8) Joseph lost his garment of governorship in Potiphar's house (Genesis 39:10-16)
9) Joseph lost his freedom of movement because he was put in prison (Genesis 39:20-21)
10) Joseph "temporally" lost his value as a great man (Genesis 39:20).
Despite all this quantum of losses which were painful experiences in the life of Joseph, he had two things that upheld him and helped him to fulfil his dreams;
1) God
2) Life
Even if you lose everything in life, don't lose the presence of God. If God be with you and you have your breath in you, there is a divine assurance that you will recover all and even more. In the book of Job 2:6, Before Job was tested, God made a pronouncement, which assured that Job would recover whatsoever he may lose in the supernatural adventure.
"And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life."
Though unknown to Job, God preserved his life so He could restore his losses when the sore temptations are over. The two things Joseph had, which were “God and Life” that enabled him to fulfil his destiny, were the same things Job had, which guaranteed his recovery and restoration. The experience of Job was not an easy one because it was a combination of “Test from God and Temptation from Satan.” The questions I have for you are; "Do you have these two things? Do you have God and breathe of life in you?” If your answer to these questions is, “yes”, then there is adequate hope for divine recovery in your life irrespective of what you may have lost.
God chose to identify Himself as "I AM THAT I AM" to reveal to us that He is ever the same from ages to ages, and from generation to generation. The things He did thousands of years ago, He can still repeat them over and over again. If God could preserve Joseph and fulfil the dreams He showed him despite all his challenges; then God can also recover and restore all your losses.
As stated earlier, in this book, you will learn and gain the revelation knowledge on How Satan steals from the people, How God Almighty recover our losses, Our roles in the Divine works of recovery, and How to retain what we have recovered. Are you ready to acquire this life-changing knowledge? If you are ready, then continue reading.

О книге: This book is written to quicken your mortal body, stair up your spirit, and encourage you to stand to your feet and recover all that Satan and his cohorts have stolen from you. You can’t afford to allow the Devil to retain the things he has stolen from you and continue stealing from you. There is a popular saying that; “every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner.” I don’t know how long the enemy has been stealing from you; it is time to recover and reclaim your losses.
