Your Double-Portion Inheritance!

Isaiah 61:6-7, NIV
6And you will be called priests of the Lord... You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. 7Instead of their shame My people will receive a double portion... they will inherit a double portion in their land..

You are called "priests of the Lord" because Jesus has cleansed you with His blood and make you kings and priests to God (Revelation 1:5-6). And as priests of the Lord, God says to you, "You will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast. "And you will" inherit a double portion in their land."

This promise came true for a church member who received his double portion while working for one of the top American companies in Singapore. Within a short time, he received two pay increments. And within just two years, he received and unexpected promotion to a senior post in the company. It was unexpected because the norm to qualify for such a promotion in the company was four years, but God shortened it to two years for him!

He was also name the recipient of a privileged stock award worth a five-figure sum, but the net value of which was likely to double, judging by the then prevailing bullish stock market. He acknowledged that it was certainly God's favor because past awardees were a very small number of top management personnel who had made significants contributions to the company. And only a small percent of their worldwide employees received this prestigious award. He was the second recipient, beside his boss, in the Singapore office to receive it!

This church member literally inherited a double portion - two pay increments, a promotion within two years and a stock award which was likely to double in value. Indeed, he was feeding on the wealth of the nations and boasting in their riches!

Beloved, God promises you that "My people will receive a double portion". This double portion includes your blessings of favor, fruitfulness, success, riches, and health. In fact, the people around you will look at you and your descendants, and acknowledge that you are a people that the Lord has blessed!
