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.
“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
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, 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 being persecuted because of their faith. Let all things work
together for good for all believers Father God and grant them a double portion
of peace and joy. I thank You God for Your abundant blessings
and for Your deep inseparable love. Thank You Father for Your faithfulness and
wisdom. 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,
