In spite of the many predictions of doom and gloom that you hear in the year 2019 (e.g. the coming economic recession, the coming political turbulence, or increasing natural disasters), I heard the Lord speak these words for His people: "This is a year of recovery and greater blessings for God's people."
Let's begin with the definition of this word 'recovery'. It can mean 'the action or process of regaining possession of something stolen (or lost)'. Yes, be it in your health, finance, relationships, ministry, or career (vocation). In the context of your personal walk with God, it can mean a return to what the Lord has planned and purposed for your life.
Like Joseph in the book of Genesis, after being thrown into a pit, sold as a slave, being falsely accused by the wife of Potiphar, being thrown into prison, and being forgotten after doing a good deed for the chief butler, the time for his recovery finally came! And this recovery led to greater blessings in his life (and through his life)! Joseph never looked back since then.
People of God, get ready for such recovery in the year 2019! Your time has come! Like Joseph who had a change of clothing - from wearing a prisoner's clothing to wearing a provider's clothing, so shall you be! Genesis 41:14-15 says, 'Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it."'
You know what? The moment of breakthrough came for Joseph - after years in the doldrums! Indeed, Joseph turned from a prisoner to a provider! He used his gift (of interpreting dreams) to the fullest effect, and turned provider of wisdom to the king! Not only that, when famine finally arrived, he turned provider of physical food that brought much hope to the land (and even to the lands afar off)! So much so his own brothers (who had sold him as slave) came looking to him, not knowing this provider was their own brother!
People of God, what are your spiritual gifts and talents (that you have long forgotten through the years)? How about the plans and purposes of God in your life? By faith, declare that 2019 is a year of your recovery and breakthrough! And after a time of recovery, comes greater blessings! Joseph got back on track (at that juncture of his life), and he went on to fulfill all that God had spoken to him till the very end. Let it be so in your life too - as you cross into the year 2019. Hallelujah!
