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 and killed because of their faith all over the world today? 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.
Romans 8:28
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and deep
inseparable love. 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. Abba
Father, 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. In Jesus’ name I pray. To
Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion
forever and ever, Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
