God Can Make Up for Lost Time

Time is one of the most precious gifts we have, yet many people live with the regret of wasted years—decisions they wish they had made sooner, opportunities they feel have slipped away, or setbacks that have delayed their progress. If you have ever felt like you are running behind in life, I have good news for you: God can make up for lost time!


One of the most powerful promises in Scripture is found in Joel 2:25, where God declares, “I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten.” This means that no matter how much time seems to have been lost, God has the ability to restore and redeem it. What took others years to accomplish, God can make happen for you in moments. He is not limited by human timelines—He is the author of time itself!


Many times, we equate delays with failure, but in God’s plan, a delay is not a denial. Look at Joseph—he spent years in slavery and prison for a crime he didn’t commit, yet in one day, God lifted him from the prison to the palace (Genesis 41:14). What seemed like wasted years were actually a divine setup for his ultimate purpose.


When God steps into your situation, He can accelerate your progress beyond human explanation. Sarah gave birth to Isaac at 90 years old (Genesis 21:1-2), proving that age and time do not limit what God can do. Even if you feel like you’ve missed your moment, God can create new opportunities that surpass anything you’ve lost.


God’s restoration doesn’t come by wishful thinking—it comes through faith and obedience. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that “those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” Waiting on God is not passive; it’s an active trust that keeps moving forward in faith, believing that He will bring His promises to pass.


The enemy wants you to believe that it’s too late, but God says otherwise. If He could restore Job’s fortunes and give him double for his losses (Job 42:10), He can do the same for you. No matter what you’ve lost—time, opportunities, relationships, or even years of wandering—God is able to restore and reposition you for greatness.


So, take heart. You are not behind. You are right where God needs you to be, and He is more than able to make up for lost time.


Trust Him, keep moving forward, and watch Him restore all that seemed lost.

I believe in you!

Are you an eagle in a cage?

September 8, 2025
Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
