I am so excited to welcome everyone into the final month of the year 2022. It has been a long one and we cannot deny the fact that God has been good to us. Even as we draw to the close of the year, I want us to look at this theme.

December will be a month of double portion for us. Amen! In So many places in the scriptures we see God talk about giving more than what we can ask for, this means that God is always ready to give to us more than what we even want.

“Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top!
‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭38a‬ ‭TPT‬‬
The above scripture even makes us understand that God will give us overflowing measures when we give, He does not manage His things, He is a God of abundance, a God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you ask, think or imagine,He is always more than ready to give us a double portion whenever we ask Him for anything, that’s the kind of God we serve.

“And the Lord turned the captivity of Job and restored his fortunes, when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. [Deut. 30:1-3; Ps. 126:1, 2.]”
‭‭Job‬ ‭42‬:‭10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬
From the story of Job in the Bible, we can see that the Lord gave Job a double portion of what he had before, he gave him twice as much without even asking. I’m trying to make us understand at least to an extent the generosity of God. Our God is a generous God, He is not stingy, He loves to give even to the extent of giving His only begotten son. That’s how much of a giver our God is .

Now, what God is saying to us is this

“Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭61‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Whatever it is you might have been asking God for, whatever it is you might have been thinking about or imagining according to His perfect will for you, God will give you in double folds. He won’t just answer your prayers but He will supersede what you have been asking Him for, He will do exceeding abundantly much more for you in Jesus name. For every tears you might have cried, for every shame and pain you might have gone through in the previous months of this year, God will answer your desperate requests in an overflowing measure this month and beyond in Jesus name.

There is also a mystery of prayer I want us to be reminded about;The mystery of asking. When you do not relent in your prayers and keep on asking, God will give unto you the desires of your heart. He is a faithful God and He is more ready to answer your requests than you are even willing to ask for them.

“Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened. Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬-‭11‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Welcome to your month of double portion!
