Dearly beloved, God will remove the hindrances from your life and grant the double portion of His blessing to you. Before the Israelites could enter the promised land, the Lord made them to cross the Jordan river. As soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap and the Israelites crossed over (Joshua 3:10-17). The Lord miraculously opened a way for them. When the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal to the Jordan river. Fifty men of the company of the prophets were watching them (II Kings 2:7). They were discouraging Elisha. They asked him, “Do you know that the Lord is going to take your master from you today?” He replied, “Yes I know, but do not speak of it.” Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water was parted to the one side and to the other (II Kings 2:8). Elisha did not listen to the discouraging words of those men. His attention was fully on God. Thus the water divided and they could cross over the river. As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” (II Kings 2:11,12). It was at that time the spirit of Elijah came upon Elisha in double measure. Immediately, Elisha became a totally new person. Dear friend, sometimes, you may also face hindrances through such people. They may try to discourage you. But the Lord who does miracles will be with you and help you. Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army, was sent to the Jordan river in order to be cleansed from his leprosy (II Kings 5:14). It was in the very same river Lord Jesus got baptized before He began His ministry (Matthew 3:13). The same Holy Spirit who came upon Him on the shores of the Jordan will also come upon you. When that happens, you will be transformed into His likeness (II Corinthians 3:18). Lord Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” (John 14:12). The Holy Spirit is willing to transform you into the image of Lord of Jesus. He will make the people of this world to see Him in you. He is waiting to grant you the double portion of His blessing. So sanctify yourself today. Start praying for your friends and those who despise you. Then He will certainly bless you in double measure and use you mightily for His glory. Prayer: Loving Lord Jesus, You are the Lord who does mighty miracles. I trust in You at all times. Remove the hindrances to my blessings. Let the double portion of your anointing come upon me and transform me into your likeness. Display your power and glory through my life. May I receive twofold blessing. In Your matchless name I pray
