When your season of compensation comes, however, don't have an open mind because God does not have to give you exactly what you were denied of. God can give you something new from a different environment completely and in a different order completely. And that is why you see sometimes people have even been denied of a position and they were compensated not with a position but with money. You know, so your compensation can come in a different kind that is, uh, completely different from the actual thing you were denied of or the thing you lost.

In Genesis 29, verse 31, as we close now, it says, "When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved." I believe the King James Version would say, "And when God saw that Leah was hated." New Living Translation says, "When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, He enabled her to have children." Mercy will speak for someone listening to this message. By the mercy of God, God will come down to compensate you. Your years of rejection, your years of experience of content. God is coming around to taunting around for you, said God. And never had to have children, but Rachel could not conceive.

In Isaiah 61, verse 7, Isaiah 61, verse 7, Easy to Read Version, they say, "In the past, other people shamed you and said bad things to you. You were ashamed much more than any other people. So in your land, you will get two times more than other people. You will get the joy that continues forever." In God's Word Translation, he said, "You will receive a double measure of wealth instead of your shame. Instead of your shame, you will sing about your wealth. Instead of being disgraced, that is why you will have a double measure of wealth in your land. Your season of reproach and shame is over. Those who mocked you will soon have no option but to congratulate you in the name of Jesus." And The Message Bible says, "Because you got a double dose of trouble, a double dose of trouble and more than your share of content, your inheritance in the land will be doubled. Your inheritance in the land will be doubled." Take note of the words being used. They said, "Because." So the reason why you are going to get a double, you are going to get a double measure of compensation is because of the magnitude of suffering, of unfair treatment, of shame, and trouble you were exposed to.
And number five, divine compensation is done in return for your sacrificial gift or seed to God and His kingdom. It is done in return for your sacrificial gift or seed to God and His kingdom. In First Samuel, chapter 2, verse 18 to 21, when the priest was speaking to Hannah and her husband and praying for them, he said, "May the Lord Almighty bless you with many children for this great gift." Great gift that is referring to the gift of service to the temple of God for service for the rest of his life. So may the Lord bless you with many more children for this great gift, great gift that you have given to God.
There was a time that our Lord Jesus Christ was ministering in Luke chapter 7, and the Bible says the Roman officer came into the scene and made the crowd. And then immediately the elders around Jesus recognized him. He did not tell them. They on their own spoke to Jesus on his behalf. They introduced the man to Jesus. "Sir, this man, he loves our nation and built us a synagogue." That man single-handedly built a synagogue and gave it to the church of God, gave it to the house of God. And obviously, when he was doing that, he wasn't expecting anything immediately in return. But a time was coming when there was going to be a pressing issue and need on his hand, and for that reason, he traveled all the way to encounter the help of God. And so when he met Jesus, these people spoke on his behalf, and the Lord Jesus, the Bible says, turned away from the crowd to go with him. And he would have left the crowd to attend him, to him. But the man said, "You don't need to come, sir. I'm a man of authority. I have soldiers under me. I tell them, 'Go,' they go. I tell them, 'Come,' they come. Speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." Remember crossover service. That is a principal message from God to you this year. God has given you the authority in 2022 to make pronouncements. And it says this year, as you make pronouncements, heaven will endorse and enforce them. Say, "Speak the word only," and the man, whom the servant was healed. When he got back, the servant was already healed. He asked him, "Where was he healed?" And they told him the exact hour, and he realized it was the same time that Jesus spoke the word.

People will look at your life history later on, and they will recognize that everything changed in 2022. Everything changed in 2022, in the name of Jesus Christ, in the name of Jesus Christ. Those who still feel in your family that it does not pay to serve God, this year God will give you evidence to show them in the name of Jesus Christ.
And number six, which is the last one, it is done in return for your consistent good deeds to people, for your consistent good deeds to people. In Galatians 6:9-10, Galatians 6:9-10, it says, "And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time, in due time and at the appointed season." That's the season of compensation. "And at the appointed season, we shall reap if we do not lose him and relax our courage and faith." Contemporary English Version, verse 9, he says, "Don't get tired of helping others. You will be rewarded when the time is right. When the time is right, if you don't give up." So please, if you're almost giving up, resume now because a season of your divine reward has finally come. Good News Translation, verse 9, it says, "So let us not become tired of doing good, for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest."
And then in Luke 6:38, Luke 6:38, Amplified Bible says, "Give, and gifts will be given to you. What comes from compensation will always be more than what the seed that was sown. Give, and gifts will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. If you pour into the pouch formed by the bottom of your robe and used as a bag, with the measure you deal with, with the measure you use when you comfort benefits on others, it will be measured back to you." The Message Bible says, "Don't condemn those who are down. That hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people. Be easy on people. You will find life a lot easier. Give away your life, and you will find life giving back, but not merely giving by giving back with bonus and blessing." The season of compensation is a season of bonus. It's a season of special blessing. Getting, not getting, is the way generosity begets generosity. For those of you who have been so generous over time, God is about to touch the heart of certain people to show you an unprecedented measure of generosity. What would have taken 40 years to put together, God is going to use one man to make it happen in your life. Can that woman or man say better amen? And Good News Translation says, "The measure you use for others is a measure that God will use for you."
Talk to your neighbor and say, "Neighbor, welcome to your year and your season of divine compensation." Hold on Jesus with a clap offering. Rise on your feet. Rise on your feet. Rise on your feet. Have you heard something from the Lord this morning? Lift up your voice and appreciate the Lord for His word. Lift up your voice and give Him thanks for His word. I appreciate Him for His word. Appreciate Him for His work. When God gives the word, then the word needs to be broken, broken down for better insight, better understanding, so everyone can have a clear perspective of what to expect and what to do in response to the word God is bringing forth. Lift up your voice and give Him thanks. Just give Him praise. Give Him all the glory. I appreciate Him for the work. You had even in the course of this message, beyond the message that came generally, the Spirit of the Lord gave you witness concerning something that was spoken. I appreciate Him for that specific word that the Spirit of the Lord gave to you through today's message. It will come to pass. It will surely come to pass. Surely come to pass.

I appreciate Him. I appreciate Him.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Please lift up both hands as we pray. Our Father and our God, we thank You.

Your word tells us that there will always be a due season, and that season will be a time of divine reward. Your word tells us that that due season is an appointed time that is decided by God and not by man. Lord, You have visited us in different dimensions over the years, and for the first time as a ministry, You are visiting us with a promise of divine compensation. Lord, we pray that at this appointed time, remember, Lord, all the good seeds that Your sons and daughters have sown. Lord, in every way they have been a blessing, starting from the home front, starting from the family perspective. Lord, we pray that in this season of divine compensation, You will especially remember and reward them. Lord, many of them have been consistent in doing good in different ways, in different dimensions, as You have given them the opportunity. Conditional obedience, faithfulness, and loyalty to You. Father, we pray that as You did for Hannah, as You did for Mary, as You did for Abraham, as You said for David, Lord, in this appointed time, You will especially reward their persistent and unconditional obedience. Reward their faithfulness. Reward their loyalty in the name of Jesus. Lord, we lift up everyone that has been unfairly treated. We lift up everyone that has been victims of injustice at whatever level. Father, we pray that at this season, You will arise on their behalf. Whatever, Lord, they were denied of, Father, give them multiple portions this new season in the name of Jesus. As we go into 21 days of prayer and fasting from tomorrow, Father, we pray that You release upon Your sons and daughters the grace to wait upon You, grace to pray, grace to fast, and grace to hear Your voice correctly. Let that grace be released. Father, make each of these 21 days 21 days of testimony. Thank You, Heavenly Father. In Jesus' name, we have received.
