Given a Double Portion!
Genesis 48:17-22
Jacob as Israel was praying a blessing on both Manasseh, and Ephraim and on the generations to come from them. God was going to bless them, as part of the twelve tribes, as adopted sons and give to them a double portion which goes usually to the first born (Gen 48:22). They would receive it after they came into the promise land which took place over 400 years later (Josh 17:17-18). Disciple Principle: Christ has adopted us as children of God, and He is giving to us the blessing here on earth but is also going to bless us with the blessing that is reserved for the first born (Luke 15:11-32). We will receive a double portion and it comes by faith in Christ. He blesses us both now and when we come into Christ Heaven Kingdom (Matt 8:11). Remember: that through faith in Christ, we will receive the double portion which Christ is preparing for us even right now (John 14:2).
