God Will Increase You
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Psalms 115:14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
2 Corinthians 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.
The God that we serve is a God of increase. Promotion and increase comes from Him, Psa. 75:6-7. In 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, Apostle Paul said, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planted anything, neither he that watereth; but God that given the increase.” In every work of your hand and in every endeavour of your life, I see God bringing great increase, growth and fruitfulness. You shall not remain small. In Job 8:7 (AMP) the Bible says, “And though you beginning was small, yet your latter end will greatly increase.”
In the Beginning, when God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply, He was not just giving them an instruction, He was releasing His blessings and grace into their lives for them to be fruitful and multiply. In Christ, God has also blessed you to be fruitful and multiply, Eph. 1:3. Through the finished work of Christ, God has removed everything that may have hindered you from experiencing increase in the past. The revelation of God’s grace will build you up in every area of your life, Acts 20:32. God will restore you in areas where you have experienced loss and He will increase you.
Increase does not come by worrying (Matt. 6:27). It comes by trusting in God and following His leading. Keep your eyes on Jesus and all that He has done for you. God will increase you in your mind, in your family, in your ministry, in your walk with Him, in your education, career and business and in all areas of your life. Your path will shine brighter and brighter unto a perfect day, Prov. 4:18. Your increase is divine and unstoppable. See it and rejoice!
Prayer Focus:
Rejoice in God for the great increase He is bringing into your life. Declare God’s diving increase, growth and fruitfulness into your life.
