INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG


When an artist decides to make a painting, he "conceives" a picture. He then takes out the canvas, brushes and paint.

Yet, this time the Lord was once again saying it is time for the double portion... Therefore, on the night of the 23rd of December after receiving multiple confirmation through signs that this was the season of double portion, I looked up double portion in the bible and the first scripture that came up was 1 Samuel. Although I have received this word from the Lord more than once in my life, this time I saw something different which I haven't seen before... Hannah could not have children and was provoked by Peninnah (Elkanah's 2nd wife) but Hannah was deeply loved by Elkanah and because he loved her, he would give her a double portion of the sacrificial meat every year.
