Psalms 66:9-12 Who put and kept us among the living, and has not allowed our feet to slip. For You, O God, have proved us; You have tried us as silver is tried, refined, and purified. You brought us into the net (the prison fortress, the dungeon); You laid a heavy burden upon our loins. You caused men to ride over our heads [when we were prostrate]; we went through fire and through water, but You brought us out into a broad, moist place [to abundance and refreshment and the open air].

For you are my chosen.

Zechariah 8:11-13 But now [in this period since you began to build] I am not to the remnant of this people as in the former days, says the Lord of hosts. For there shall the seed produce peace and prosperity; the vine shall yield her fruit and the ground shall give its increase and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit and possess all these things. And as you have been a curse and a byword among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong and hardened.

The fruit of prosperity appears before you.

And you shall be a blessing.

For this is your assignment.

This is your allocated portion.

This is your allotted portion.

This is your double portion.

For your cup shall overflow.

Ps “say to your neighbour – Go!”
