Instead of your shame you will receive a double
portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will
be yours.
عوضا عن خزيكم ضعفان وعوضا عن
الخجل يبتهجون بنصيبهم. لذلك يرثون في ارضهم ضعفين. بهجة ابدية تكون لهم.
Isaiah 61:7
God sent
these promises and words of encouragement to His people when they were going
through a very difficult time in the Old Testament.
The question
I asked myself was: do these words apply to us; the believers in His Son and
our Redeemer; today? Do they apply to the Christians who are persecuted for
their faith all over the world today? Do they apply to my country of origin,
Egypt, where Christians are persecuted and killed and churches being burned? Do
these words apply today to any Christian believer who is facing personal
challenges?
I believe
they do because our Lord is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. God is
always faithful to His Word. Let us rejoice then because our God will give us
restoration and make all things better above and beyond our expectations. “We know that all
things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the
called according to His purpose.” Romans
8:28
28 ونحن نعلم ان كل الاشياء تعمل معا للخير للذين يحبون الله الذين هم
مدعوون حسب قصده.
I invite you to repeat the
following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings. Thank You for Your faithfulness
and wisdom. Abba, please strengthen my faith and help me to stay obedient to
You so that I can receive what You promised as a double portion of blessings
for my challenges in every area of my life. O’Lord guide and direct my steps to
Your everlasting joy. Lord I pray for all The Christian Believers in the world
who are suffering because of their faith. Let all things work together for good
for them and grant them a double portion of peace and joy. I pray in the Holy
Name of Jesus. To
Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus Loves youIn Him,
Wagdi Henein
