You are called
“priests of the Lord” because Jesus has cleansed you with His blood and made
you kings and priests to God (see 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
in 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!
