Wisdom for Increase 2
Genesis 30:27-30, Proverbs 24:6 (TPT)
…Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake. …Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me. For it was little …before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming… *Wise strategy is necessary to wage war, and with many astute advisers you’ll see the path to victory more clearly.
The blessing of God upon Jacob’s life found expression through divine wisdom. Laban’s flock was little before Jacob came to work for him but before Jacob left Laban, his flock became a multitude, (Gen.30:27-30). Child of God, I declare unto you that you shall have great testimonies of how God shall increase and also use you to bring great increase into the lives of others. Now, despite the fact that Jacob served Laban with all his heart, Laban tried to cheat Jacob ten different times, (Gen.31:6-7). However, by the wisdom of God, Jacob kept experiencing increase and abundance. The Bible said that Jacob had great increase in different animals and in servants, (Gen.30:43). You shall experience great increase in various dimensions and ramifications of your life. The Bible shows an example of the divine wisdom that God gave Jacob while working with Laban. Jacob took rods from some trees and cut shapes into them. By putting this rods in front of the animals while they were feeding, he was able to influence the colour of the offspring of these animals in a way that favoured him; based on his agreement with Laban, (Gen.30:31-43).
I declare to you that nobody will be able to stop the increase and abundance that God is bringing into your life. By the wisdom of God, you will prevail and you will make the right decisions even in tough situations. The Bible says, ” A wise man is strong; yes, a man of knowledge increaseth strength,” and “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small,” (Prov.24:5 & 10). No situation will make you faint. By the wisdom of God, you will be strong and you will prevail over situation. As you ask God, He will fill you with His wisdom, (James 1:5). The wisdom of God will keep being stirred up and overflowing from your life.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, please fill me with your wisdom and cause your wisdom to continuously overflow from my life.
