February, the second month of the year, represents a season of multiplication, restoration, and divine favour. As we reflect on the theme of double honour, we are reminded that God honours His faithful servants by lifting them up, restoring their dignity, and granting them greater visibility. Double honour is a promise from God for those who have faced shame, rejection, or dishonour. This month, God is releasing a double portion of honour to His children, elevating them to places of recognition, blessing, and divine favour.
