12 is used with significance all through The Scripture, and I believe 2012 has greatness in store. The 12th son received more than all the rest in Genesis 45:22 “To each of them he gave new clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.”. One set was given to all the rest, but Benjamin received five. I am ready for God’s Benjamin blessing in my life and ministry this year. I have built a bigger closet, and bigger vision for all God has for me in 2012…what about you?
I leave you with some good preaching material on the #12…
