Revelation of the Word:

THEME: DOUBLE PORTION

1 Samuel 1:4-5 NIV

“Whenever the day came for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters. But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the Lord had closed her womb.”

INSIGHT

-Elkanah was a diligent man and went up three times a year as it was the requirement for every Israelite male to offer sacrifices at Shiloh. Hannah’s husband offered a double portion because of his love for her since she could not have children. Due to Elkanah’s great love for her then the Lord closed her womb. Elkanah gave an extra portion of meat for her as if she already had children or to draw God’s attention to his wife Hannah. When Job lost his children and resources, he was later restored double what he had before when he prayed for his friends (Job 42:10). Our God is gracious and kind. He is able to give us what we require including children, and restore us double for the time lost, opportunities, resources etc.

PRAYER

Yahweh Sabaoth our God and King, Creator of all the universe and Ruler of the armies in heaven. You created the heavens and the earth and everything that is in them. Lord Your power is infinite and power extends to all the universe and all generations. Lord we thank You for Your love for us. Lord we repent for the sins we have done and all our iniquities. May You forgive us and wash us with the blood of Jesus. We pray that You shall meet us in all our needs according to Your mercies and riches in glory. May You release a double portion to us for the sake of Your love towards us. May You restore unto us all the years we have lost and all that the locust and cankerworms have eaten from us, in Jesus Name. May You hear the prayers of those who are waiting on You for marriages and answer them dear loving Father. May You grant all those married couples that are seeking You like Hannah the precious gift of children, and fill up their quivers. We trust in You Jesus and we know that You are able. We pray all this in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
