God says in His Word that you will
receive double for your trouble. If the devil has given you one trouble,
then for that one trouble you can expect to receive a double-portion
blessing! And if that trouble has caused you to experience shame, God’s
promise to you is this: “Instead of your shame you shall have double
honor”. God wants to give you a double-portion blessing for every
trouble you go through! |

And don’t think that God is behind
your troubles. The devil is the real culprit. Sometimes, it could be the
one you see in the mirror every morning! But the moment you respond to
God in faith, He gets involved in your restoration. And He does not
restore to you the same amount that you have lost. You always get more
than before, if not in quantity, then in quality. You will be at a
higher place than before. You will be stronger, healthier, wealthier,
wiser or more at peace! |

This was the case with Job. Satan was
behind Job’s troubles, but when Job responded in faith, God took it upon
Himself to restore to Job all that he had lost. The Bible tells us that
Job received double in terms of quantity — from 7,000 sheep to 14,000
sheep, 3,000 camels to 6,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen to 1,000 yoke of
oxen and 500 female donkeys to 1,000 female donkeys. And for the
children he had lost, God restored in terms of quality — his daughters
were the fairest in all the land. (Job 1:2–3, 13–19; 42:12–15) |

If Job, who was not under the new
covenant, could be blessed with double for his troubles, how much more
we who are under the new covenant! In fact, God will not only restore
double but triple, fivefold or even sevenfold! |

My friend, for everything that you
have lost, get ready for God’s restoration. Expect to receive double and
even more for every trouble! |
