For the LORD has a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion. -Isaiah 34:8

Marilyn Hickey’s daughter Sarah had an experience with Jehovah Gmolah, the God of Recompense. She and her daughter talk about such persecution, trial and trouble during her Senior year of high school. They wondered what it was about. She felt such pain for her daughter going through it. But God showed himself in their life as Jehovah Gmolah. The God who remembers. Her first year of college was the complete opposite. She got scholarships, awards, made a lot of new friends and got married. In other words, Father God showed himself faithful to reward their faith in the coming years. As he will do you, if not already.

Jehovah Gmolah – He is a God of Recompense. He doesn’t waste trouble or pain. Not only is it his way to repay those who trouble you with trouble. But he will make it up to you as a reward of your faith. So again, if you’ve been going through a season of trouble, get ready! Stay in faith, keep expecting things to get better. I’ve gathered a few thoughts to encourage you and build your faith to expect RECOMPENSE from your Father God in the coming months in Jesus name.

Now we know God’s recompense for us can happen for either of these anytime during the year or your life. We are launching the GC Podcast Season 5 and prayer focus today with a list of topics we will study and build our faith with for God’s recompense in our lives.…and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.

1. Recompense Jeremiah 51:56 says …God of recompenses, he will surely requite”

2. Restoration.  In the Bible, Joel 2:25 says, “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the canker worm, and the caterpillar, and the Palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you”

3. Replenish or Recovery 1 Samuel 30:4 Then David and the people who were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep.

4. Resurrection. The resurrection of Lazarus is a miracle in the Bible that appears in the Gospel of John 11:1–44. In this story, Jesus raises Lazarus of Bethany from the dead four days after he dies.

5 Renew (Renew Holy Spirit) he washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit are described in the Bible in Titus 3:5-7.

6. Raised – “Promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another”. 

7. Rehearsal – Psalm 103 encourages us to rehearse the good things that God has done for us and respond with passionate thanks. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. 2 Timothy 2:15 ESV

8. Redemption – Psalm 130:7, which says, “For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption”. 

9. Repair – Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes. Isa. 58:12

10. Revive – Psalm 85:6 “Revive us again, O God! I know you will! Give us a fresh start! Then all your people will taste your joy and gladness”.

11. Regeneration – washing of regeneration Titus 3:5: “He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit”. 

    John 3:3: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God”. 

    Ezekiel 36:26: God gives a new heart and spirit through regeneration and the new birth. 

12. Righteousness– 2 Thessalonians 1:6 “Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you”.

    2 Corinthians 5:21 “For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God”. 

In summary, we look forward to the study with you on the layers of God’s Recompense: Recompense, Restoration, Replenish, Resurrection, Renew, Raised, Rehearsal, Redemption, Repair, Revive, Regeneration, Righteousness. I pray and invite you to also pray to ask Father God to meet us during these study times. He always shows up. So we can expect him to confirm his word with signs, wonders and miracles according to Mark 16:20b. -Peace, Pastor Earma
