"Wisdom," in the Bible, "is knowing the greatest goal in any situation, and the best way to achieve that goal.
Wisdom sees the big picture, in focus, each part in its proper relationship to rest. Double portion means two fold, twice as much, a supernatural increase.
Double portion cannot happen outside of God. It is being in God that gives us godly desires and ultimately godly results.
The Bible says that it is He that gives us the power both to will and act Phil 2:13. Its therefore very important to understand Gods wisdom on double portion in our lives.
It is not the will of God for his children to struggle in any aspect of their lives. Our experiences as children of God should be completely different from the rest. There is a preserve for God's children that opens up doors for double portion, for increase.
It is this preserve that made Elisha stick to Elijah as seen in 2nd Kings 2, it is this preserve that made Ruth cling to Naomi on her return to Bethlehem Ruth 1 and also made Jacob wrestle the angel of God till dawn Genesis 32: 22-32.
This preserve is called the WISDOM of God. James 1:5 tells us to ask for wisdom if we lack it for Gods gives liberally. Gods wisdom is given to provide glory in our lives.
If we are not walking In glory in any aspect of our lives, Gods wisdom is required. If we are not experiencing a double portion in our finances, health, careers, marriages, happiness etc, we need Gods wisdom.
The Lord shower upon us His wisdom, in Jesus Name.
You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

Receiving Double Portion
From Our Pastor's Desk
Near the end of Elijah’s time on earth, he offered his assistant Elisha a gift: “What can I do for you before I am taken from you?”
Elisha answered, “Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me” – 2nd Kings 2:9. Elisha received a double portion from Elijah. Elisha received because of his faithfulness, amongst other virtues.
Even though Elijah and the sons of the prophets both seemed to try to dissuade Elisha from following, he was faithful. He was not going to be dissuaded. A faithful Christian will not be pulled away from serving the Lord by a whim or by some unimportant, irrelevant, trivial reason.
A lot of people are simply sitting, waiting for something to fall out of Heaven. You need to commit to a good local church and do your part to help make it a great church. Join up and then show up! Many of us are just involved in the ministry (nonchalantly, waiting to be told before they do, and unreliable).
Few are just committed (but when push comes to shove, they have alternatives). Only a few are really faithful, tending towards loyalty. 2 Timothy 2:2 – “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also” 1 Corinthians 4:2 – “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” Elisha knew how to serve.
Do you want the double portion anointing? Get involved in church or a ministry and start serving. When you serve you are sowing your life as seed for an anointing that one day will be yours.
Double portion is available, for those who are faithful, committed, humble servant leaders. You will then see yourself scaling new heights supernaturally and breaking new grounds; accomplishing new things that eyes have not seen nor ears heard.
You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.

The Elisha Generation
By Pastor 'Deji Adewale
Near the end of Elijah’s time on earth, he offered his assistant Elisha a gift: “What can I do for you before I am taken from you?”
Elisha answered, “Please let there be a double portion of your spirit on me” – 2nd Kings 2:9. Elisha’s request was to be considered the successor of Elijah and to be “doubly blessed” with power in the prophetic office.
Through-out 2nd Kings, the many miracles Elisha per-formed confirm that he had indeed been grant-ed a double portion. In the whole of the Bible, specific references are made to a “double portion.”
When someone receives a double portion, it means he gets a gift twice as much as that given to others. Elisha received a double portion from Elijah. Many people pray like Elisha, "Lord, give me a double portion of your anointing." Yet they do not realize the preparation that is involved for such a miraculous thing to occur.
The Elisha Generation is the generation of believers who desire, seek, receive and walk in the double anointing. They are faithful, dependable, humble, respectful and know how to serve. Elisha knew how to serve.
Do you want the double portion anointing? Get involved in church or a ministry and start serving. When you serve you are sowing your life as seed for an anointing that one day, sooner than later, will be yours. Glory Hallelujah!
You will have good success this 2017.
Remain blessed. Shalom.
