Blessings of God's Double Portion

By Deacon Wilson Shofolahan

In 2nd Kings 2:9-10, Elijah told his servant Elisha, "he has asked a hard thing" from him. You can only give what you have, goes the popular saying.

You cannot go to a petty trader to ask for a $10 million loan, he would look at you thinking you must've missed your way.  Firstly, being human, he cannot give more than his limited portion.

 Secondly, an average human being wants to be the greatest and would shy away from making you their equal, talk less of making you greater.

But James 1:17 says "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above ......." Psalm 75:6-7 says "For promotion cometh neither from the East, nor from the West, nor from the South. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another”

 A double portion of whatever your heart's desire can only be gotten from the Almighty God, who is the Creator of heaven and earth, the owner of silver and gold, Jehovah Jireh, the giver of what money can buy, and what money cannot buy.

However, God's gift or His blessings which does not add sorrow is conditional, Deut 28:1 and Exodus 15:26 emphasized that only if you will hearken diligently to His voice, all the double portion of your heart's desire and good health to go with it can be yours.

Children of God are denied Double Portion of blessings from above because of disobedience says Isaiah 59:1-2. Elisha was obedient to his master Elijah, who was himself a servant of God, and was diligent to the end, and he got the double portion of his master's spirit as desired.  Our God is no respecter of persons Acts 10:34. He can do it for you.

The grace of obedience, God will release into our lives, and the double portion of all our heart's desire shall be given to us today, in Jesus Name

You will have good success this 2017. 
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
