Recently we were in a small village preaching the gospel. The pastor’s family hosted us at their home for the four days we had to stay there. Most of the people in this village were farmers and they cultivated bananas. On the last day before the meetings there was strong wind and heavy rain. 

The pastor told me that the farmers would be suffering a heavy loss if the strong winds continued. As a young boy he had been helping his dad with his fields and had good knowledge of farming. He told me that the farmers worked hard for almost a year and if during the harvest such a thing happened a whole year’s labour would be lost.

Sometimes we go through such experiences, before you realise what you had worked hard for is gone. Probably, it looks like you’ve wasted many years. We all have wasted years; the years that we spent in the world before coming to Christ are definitely wasted years. But do not be disheartened; you’ve entered into a season where God is going to restore to you all that you have lost. Your time, joy, anointing and all that you could have earned is going to be restored many fold. Cheer Up!
