The Bible tells us that our habits within our everyday lives is not easy and that it is worthwhile to put our efforts into them; as Colossians 3:23 states, “whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord
My brothers and sisters, because I am human, I too have dreams, allow me, and I will tell you what I am yearning for! Like Simeon the righteous.
A day is coming
When the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Adonai covenant name, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
What are the characteristics of the knowledge of God?
The omniscient God knows everything, including everything about us. Psalm 147:5 says, Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
Omnipotent: God has unlimited power.
There’s absolutely nothing he can’t do.
Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me? “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Jeremiah 32:17
You don’t have to chase the blessing Chase God and the blessing will chase after you.
Don’t be hesitant to receive the blessings of even if you are the first person in your family to experience unmerited favor.
Saul did not think that he could be king because he did not come from a very important tribe or family. Saul did not think that he could be king because he did not come from a very important tribe or family.
Saul had to prophecy, and he had to rule
He stripped off his robes and prophesied in Samuel’s presence – box ticket.
However when Samuel called the people together to the Lord at Mizpah to crown him king, Saul was in hiding because he didn’t know how to be a king. He was scarred of the Philistines, Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, Moabites Canaanites and God knows the Chi-lites
Saul’s fear, disobedience and pride made him the worst king but also the first king. During Forty days of favor God is preparing you to be the first king in your tribe. You have the God-given right to receive and use God’s power that flows from the indwelling Holy Spirit Acts 1:8
A double portion is a concept in the Bible that refers to a double blessing or gift. It appears in the Bible six times and is first mentioned in the Law of Moses in Deuteronomy 21:17.
He did so by officially “adopting” Joseph’s sons as his own. Each son, Manasseh and Ephraim, received a portion of Jacob’s inheritance; thus, Joseph’s family received a double portion. In a sense, it wasn’t totally out of line since Joseph was the firstborn of Jacob’s intended wife.
The birthright
The firstborn son received a double portion of his father’s inheritance and the right of succession.
And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
The idea of a double portion was not to ask for twice as much as Elijah had, but to ask for the portion that went to the firstborn son, as in Deuteronomy 21:17.
Elisha asked for the right to be regarded as the successor of Elijah, as his firstborn son regarding your ministry.
Why did Joseph get a double portion when he was not the first born of Jacob?
Leah was Jacob’s first wife, and the older sister of his second (and favored) wife Rachel.
The bible equates the image of God with being the firstborn of creation. All humans, because of their responsibility to bear God’s image, are meant to live as firstborn heirs over creation.
When we are saved, we are all first-born. Colossians 1:15
Most of the prominent leaders in the Bible who received a double portion are younger siblings: Joseph. Moses, Samuel, David, and Solomon, to name a few.
How do you and I qualify for a double portion or favor.
God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
