I am using centos7 as my local system. I have installed vagrant vitual box, but by mistake I have deleted a file in the VM. To recover file I was following this link but there are command for remote system. So I by mistake I ran the following command. 

# wall
System is going down to .... please save your work.

Press CTRL+D to send message.

Next use init 1 command to take system to a single user mode:

# init 1

Now every time I ssh into my VM, I get the message "The system is going down to rescue mode NOW!"

How can I restore the previous configuration?

Reset to default

Use again the init command giving a different runlevel as argument (for example init 3).

You can see the default runlevel used by your box looking for the entry initdefault inside /etc/inittab
