The Double Blessing!

Isaiah 61:7


God is a God who blesses.
The gospel is a gospel of blessing.
We cannot talk about the love of God and the goodness of God without considering His ability to bless.
God blesses because He is good and He is the blessed One.
1 Timothy 6:15

Not only does God bless, He can also give double blessings.
A double blessing is a blessing that gives significantly more to an individual or people over others.

Elisha the prophet received significantly more than the sons of the prophet.
He received a double portion blessing in the form of double of Elijah's spirit.
Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob/Israel received much more gifts and also food at Joseph's table over his older siblings. The double portion of God's blessing was at work for Benjamin.
Rebecca was compensated with twins (two sons) after a season of being barren. That is a double portion blessing.

There is nothing wrong with wanting more or having more.
The blessing manifests as more or double when God favors.
If you have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ you are a righteous person in God's sight.
Those who are righteous are entitled to God's favor.
Psalm 5:12

Every true child of God should be a beneficiary of God's favor.
God's people are called to be blessed and called to spread the blessing of the kingdom.
Every child of God has an inheritance in Christ.
Your inheritance is what God has prepared for you that pertains to life and godliness.
2 Peter 1:3
When God's favor is on a specific child of God, double blessings can show up in the inheritance of that son/daughter of God.
Isaiah 61:7
This is God's will for you.

A child of God should not be cursed but blessed.
When the blessing is upon your life, every curse released in your direction should turn into a blessing.
The blessing was upon the nation of Israel but an insecure enemy king wanted them cursed.
The blessed God turned what should have been curses into blessings for the Israelites.
Numbers 23:11

The idea of the blessing is from God and He is the one who truly blesses.
The first word Adam heard was a word of blessing.
Genesis 1:28
The double portion blessing can come when God chooses to compensate His child for every trouble he experienced.
Job 42:10

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
