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 made 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 an unexpected promotion to a senior position in the company. It was
unexpected because the norm to qualify for such a promotion in the company was
four years.
He was also named the recipient of a privileged stock award worth a five-figure
sum, 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 significant contributions to the company. And only an even smaller per cent
of their worldwide employees had ever received this prestigious award. He was
only the second recipient, besides his boss, in the Singapore office to receive it.
This church member literally inherited a double portion because he put his
trust in the Lord and His Word.
Beloved, believe God when He says that His people will receive a double
portion. This double portion includes blessings of favor, fruitfulness, success 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!
