I declare that "I will restore double to you," says the Lord in Zechariah 9:12. This is God’s promise for you. My friend, perhaps everything feels destroyed in your life. Perhaps you feel your holiness has fallen, that you've lost your finances, lost family members, lost your job, your home, your honour, or even your good name. You may feel like Job, who lost everything. His children were gone, his home was in ruins, his property was taken, his health was broken, and he was left in shame. Once an honourable and prosperous man, Job found himself sitting in the dust, scratching his sores, and facing humiliation in front of all. Everything vanished in an instant due to the enemy’s attack, and Job even felt the absence of God’s presence. The same God who had once been so close now seemed far away, leaving Job crying out, “If only someone could tell me where I can find God.”
Maybe you’re experiencing such a season of brokenness. But God says, “I will restore double to you. I will lift you from your brokenness, make you stand strong, and fill you with a double portion.” Everything will return in double measure! This is what Jesus paid for on the cross—for you to receive a double portion. You may feel like Job today, but remember, you are a partner with Jesus, standing with us in prayer for others just as Job prayed, and God will restore double to you.
Let me share this testimony. Sis. Vanita, married in 1995, spent 19 long years with no children. She endured such torment. No treatment helped, despite spending 10 lakhs. Both she and her husband had given up all hope. It was then they came to the Bethesda Prayer Center in Coimbatore. Her sister enrolled her and the child to be born in faith in the Young Partners Plan, even before she had conceived. Sis. Vanita fasted and prayed fervently in the Bethesda Meditation Center, in the prayer dome. She prayed, “Lord, next time I return, I will come with a child.” She also sponsored a Jesus Calls TV programme, and I prayed for her on that program. God be praised! The very next month, she conceived. The doctor announced she was expecting twins. Praise God! She later gave birth to a daughter and a son—double measure!
God will bless you also in double measure. Jesus paid the price for this blessing. You have lived righteously and prayed for others through Jesus Calls Ministry. God will surely give you a double portion.
PRAYER:
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You in faith, trusting in Your promise of restoration. Lord, You see every broken part of my life, every loss and every tear. I ask that You fill these empty spaces with Your double portion of blessing and healing. Lift me from my brokenness and restore my strength. Let everything that was lost be returned in double measure, just as You have promised. Jesus, I thank You for paying the price for this blessing, for securing this hope for me. Help me stand firm in Your love and faithfulness. Let Your restoration pour over my life as I continue to seek You and lift others in prayer. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
