Double for All your Troubles
Sunday 25th January , 2015
Ref : Isaiah 61:7; 40:2
Zechariah 9:12, 2Cor 4:7-9
Pastor E. O. T Peter ..

Isaiah 61:7……….For your shame ye shall have double and for your confusion they shall rejoice in their portion . therefore in their land they shall possess the DOUBLE : everlasting joy shall be unto them .


Your life's past doesn't determine your life pattern, your Pact with God does .
What you've been through doesn't really matter , even what you're going through doesn't determine where you are going.
God can give you Double for all your troubles
Gain for all your Pain
Fame for your Shame
Glory for your Story
Job 42: 10 ,… and the lord turned the captivity of Job ……..,,!and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before .

A preacher once said , 'God sometimes takes us to troubled waters , not to drown us but to cleanse us ' meaning we sometimes go through pain , shame , ridicule , and the troubles of life not to depress , break or destroy us but to Rebuild and Refine us.

Remember , Gold in its raw state is relatively invaluable , so are we in our unrefined state ; that's why we go through the bending , hammering , and remoulding process to bring out the best in us.

Sometimes we confuse the refining process with drowning . we drown when our ship can no longer stay afloat , that is maintain its equilibrium on life's sea and that's as a result of sin.
When sin creeps in , drowning starts

And Finally , whatever it is you might have been through , it doesn't matter how bad things might seem to be at the moment , All things will be well cos with Christ, all things are Possible
You might be bent but you are not broken
You might be persecuted but not abandoned
You might have been struck down but not destroyed
You might be shaken but not shattered
You might be perplexed but not in despair ……..
So Your Tomorrow is colorful ,
There is light at the end of the tunnel remember Gods not done with you yet………….He's working it all out ….

In His Service
