THE WILL OF GOD IN INCREASE CONCLUSION

It is very important to note  that it is not our efforts, hard work or good deeds that bring us   the increase: God is the one that brings the increase to all we do.

1 Corinthians 3: 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

1  Corinthians 3:7
So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

2  Corinthians 9:10
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.

Job  8:7
though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

“Church, we must renew our minds to the truth that God wants us to Increase! A wave of increase is coming so we must prepare ourselves for it and have a balanced approach to it so that it will be a blessing to us and our generations. These last days God is pouring out His increase like never before upon His Church so we can be able to make impact and influence the lives of people in the World to The Word of his Power. We cannot make any impact when we are compromising our values or standards or when we are walking in less than God intended for us to walk in.

God wants us to increase in all things in righteousness because we are the remnant that will show the world that one can increase in God without compromising or selling out one’s soul to the devil.

Zechariah 8:12 For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

Psalm 85:12
Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase.

Psalm 105:24
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

Remember walking in love is the anointing and mantle for increase upon whatever we lay our hands upon to do  and the reason the devil always attack our love walk is to keep us from increasing and abounding in all God wants us to. Walking in  the Truth of God’s finished works on The Cross is what brings freedom and release from the devils’ strong holds and  bondage . Let us rejoice and be glad for Jesus is coming back  for a Glorious Church without blemish or wrinkles and we win in all and at all times.

The Will of God in Increase 6b

Beware of Pride as you go about your journey in life as God increase you.This vice is why  we have to make a  conscious effort on not shifting our focus away from God and God alone.Once our heart is not gavitating away from God,   our hearts will not become proud  and  when we can  begin to see and experience increase in every area of our lives without sharing the glory of the happenings in our lives and this will make us give all the due credit to the Giver;God. Pride is one of the tools of the devil and it  subtly leads to destruction .Pride is the root of selfishness; the root of all evil and it is not from God.  This made the devil lose his position in heaven Isaiah 14:12-14, and Ezekiel 28:12-18.

 Another example of someone   that God increased but became proud and had to be humbled after falling from pride is Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4:29-37:

‘Twelve months later he was taking a walk on the flat roof of the royal palace in Babylon.  As he looked out across the city, he said, ‘Look at this great city of Babylon! By my own mighty power, I have built this beautiful city as my royal residence to display my majestic splendor. ‘While these words were still in his mouth, a voice called down from heaven, ‘O King Nebuchadnezzar, this message is for you! You are no longer ruler of this kingdom.  You will be driven from human society. You will live in the fields with the wild animals, and you will eat grass like a cow. Seven periods of time will pass while you live this way, until you learn that the Most High rules over the kingdoms of the world and gives them to anyone he chooses.’

 “That same hour the judgment was fulfilled, and Nebuchadnezzar was driven from human society. He ate grass like a cow, and he was drenched with the dew of heaven. He lived this way until his hair was as long as eagles’ feathers and his nails were like birds’ claws.

Nebuchadnezzar Praises God

“After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever.

His rule is everlasting,
    and his kingdom is eternal.
 All the people of the earth
    are nothing compared to him.
He does as he pleases
    among the angels of heaven
    and among the people of the earth.
No one can stop him or say to him,
    ‘What do you mean by doing these things?’

 “When my sanity returned to me, so did my honor and glory and kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored as head of my kingdom, with even greater honor than before.

 “Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.”

Prov 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

Ezekiel 28:5
by your great skill in trading you have increased your wealth, and because of your wealth your heart has grown proud.

Psalm  62:10
do not trust in extortion or put vain hope in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.

Proverbs 23:5 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.

Luke 12:15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.”

All the earthly things we see and possess are temporal and the things that count for eternity are eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

 2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our  be lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

May all our focus be on God and God alone and may our lives be equipped for every good work in Jesus name. Amen

Enjoy a great new day.

THE WILL OF GOD IN INCREASE 6a

 In our quest for increase, we should strive to increase in our faith as faith are in levels;little, no , small, big, great and exceedingly great faith.Whatever level, we choose is what determines our levels of increase.Also ,we should seek to increase in not just good things but God things because not all good things are God’s things .
If our focus and attention is not in the right source which is God,  and God’s ways, we could be tempted to seek alternatives ways of getting increases in  good things that are not God’s things .This is one of the reasons, some people seek wealth and increase in fetish ways . When we seek increase in God’s ways we become godly and our wealth and increases come over time with long lasting patience , generational wealth, blessings and longevity  . Whilst those who  seek wealth /increase in worldly ways end up increasing  in ungodliness, sudden wealth with no longevity or generational impact. As a believer ,we should strive to be increasing in godliness and faith that will last to generational blessings.

2 Timothy 2:16
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

God does not want us to seek increase in power from the devil, for God is the source of Power.God created the devil so he can never be as powerful as God.

God desires for  us to increase in the knowledge of His own power that He has already deposited in every believer, so we can begin to walk in defeat against the enemy’s wiles and tricks.

Psalms  62:11One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard : “Power belongs to you, God.

1 Corinthians  24-25 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.  For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

Job 12:13 To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.

THE WILL OF GOD IN INCREASE 5

God wants us to individually  increase in our prayer life, in our spiritual life :our faith and in the Word of God then  we the “Church”  can be more effective witnesses, more souls will be saved and God’s  Will  be done on earth.

Acts 6:7
and the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

Acts 16:5
and so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

We are not supposed to be in one position; we have to be moving from one level of Glory to another, if we are not, it is not God’s fault but ours. We have to be the one pursuing for more of whatever we may be lacking is it wisdom, love or actions by looking in His Word and by the Help of The Holy Spirit in us whenever we are willing to yield to Him. God always want us to be willing and obedient and He always rewards our obedience.

Isaiah 1:19

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.

2 Corinthians 3:18  But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

He has already given us all we will need for life and godliness, but we have to reach out by faith, desire increase and be expectant to receive the increase at His appointed time.

Ephesians 3:20 God is able to do much more than we can ask or think, but we have to do our own part in believing ,  putting into corresponding actions of  works and then the  power in us will bring us our desired increase.

God also want us to increase in our maturity in the things of God. He wants us to be students of The Holy Bible for life. That is our manual for success in this world we live in. The only way we can be spiritual is through and by the Word of God. Our understanding of the Word of God  will help us embrace the one that is the source of all our increase , prevent us  from falling away with false or fake doctrines that is contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ and remove  from us any  feeling of guilt for achieving  increase and/or  promotions.

Hebrews 6:1 therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God.

 Finally, God wants us to increase in his strength, anointing and power, so his signs and wonders can show forth though us.

Isaiah 40:29
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Acts 9:22
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

The Will of God in Increase 4

God commands us to increase in our love for one another, so we can become more like him and His blessings can be seen in our lives. Love is the secret law and the spiritual way to increase that's why the devil always want to attack us in our love walk with one another .Whenever we walk in love, the anointing and mantle for increase is poured upon all we do.

1 Thessalonians 3:12 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you.

God wants to increase us through the works of our hands, home and business.
Deuteronomy 16:15
Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

When we are blessed financially after giving God his dues, he wants us to bless the poor and the needy.

Prov 28:27 Those who give to the poor will lack nothing,
    but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.

Prov 19:17 Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord,
    and he will reward them for what they have done.
God   wants us to increase in our giving so we can receive more and be a blessing to others.

Luke 6:38 "Give and it shall be given you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over," This is fullness and abundance.

When we increase in material blessings, the Grace of God is seen in our lives and every reproach of lack will be removed from our lives.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.
The Grace of God is also released unto everyone that gives with the right attitude and every time we sow in faith to increase the propagation of God’s works in His kingdom. The ultimate we can reach for giving is the place of total abundance and no more debts.
Deuteronomy 28:12
The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

Ezekiel 36:30

I will increase the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field, so that you will no longer suffer disgrace among the nations because of famine.

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Have a great Day.

The Will of God in Increase 3

As surely as God‘s will is  for us to increase, increase also comes with a lot of responsibilities and God rewards us by the  increase when they come. For example,the man with the one talent that hid it in the Parable of the Talents: God took the one talent from him and gave it to the one that traded with his own. Matt 25;14-30.
We also reward one another by our increase, the worker that puts in more effort at a job /hardworking is the one that get promoted not the lazy one.

Anything that is not growing will either wither away or die eventually. Anything that is not increasing is definitely decreasing.

Jer  29:6 b Increase in number there; do not decrease.

Whenever we increase in our finances, God wants us to honor him with our increase. He expects an increase in our tithes and offerings too.

Prov 3:9
Honor the LORD with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase.

Deut 14:22
Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed that the field bringeth forth year by year.

 Remember whenever we want an increase; God wants our first focus to be on him and the next   focus on whatever area we are seeking increase in. For example to increase in money, focus on God, his principles and methods regarding money   and learn all these then your money can increase. To increase in love and friendship, study about friends and love, invest your time in friendship, and learn about love from Love himself which is God then you will increase in them.  To increase in wisdom, go, get and treasure wisdom.

Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Prov 3:13 Blessed are those who find wisdom those who gain understanding.

Prov 4:7-9 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get   wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.

The Will of God in Increase 2

Increase comes upon our lives as a result of our obedience to God's principles and laws; this is why a hardworking, diligent, unbeliever that sows can reap financial increase in their business. When the increase come to us from Him, God doesn't want us to forget Him; Our First love.

Deuteronomy 8 :18 And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 

Deuteronomy 30:16

 For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

Deuteronomy 8:11

“But that is the time to be careful! Beware that in your plenty you do not forget the Lord your God and disobey his commands, regulations, and decrees that I am giving you today.

Deuteronomy 6:3

Hear, Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

Deuteronomy 8:1
[Do Not Forget the LORD] Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors.

God desires for us to increase in our spirit, soul and body. And he is the one that puts the desire for more in us .The Bible is a book of increase. Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well, He can give her water and she will thirst no more for life. Luke 4

God’s promise for us is to increase more and more.

Psalm 115:14
The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

God can want us to increase our knowledge, wisdom through the Word of God. He wants us to engage and increase in wise relationship and mentor-ship  with our mentors  and with  the Holy Spirit.

Whatever we want to increase in, God wants our first focus to be on him and then on what He will lead us to do  in that  area we are seeking increase in. For example to increase in money, focus on God, his principles and methods regarding money   and learn all these then your money can increase. To increase in love and friendship, study about friends and love, invest your time in friendship, and learn about love from Love himself which is God then you will increase in them.  To increase in wisdom, go, get and treasure wisdom.

Proverbs 3:13 Blessed are those who find wisdom those who gain understanding.

Proverbs 4:7-9 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get   wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Cherish her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will give you a garland to grace your head and present you with a glorious crown.”

Wisdom Nuggets on The Will of God is Increase 1

The Will of God is for us to increase in every area of our lives and the truth is  that God is interested in our growth, increase and abundance.

3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

Some attribute the source of increase to the devil, some attribute the source of increase to God, some don't want to get increase because they think its evil and some  others are just complacent about increase.  Even though God wants us to increase in every area of our lives  much more He wants us to seek him the Giver of the gift much more than  the gifts.These nuggets will bring light and will expose the truth in God's Word about increase, where , how and in what areas He wants us to increase in. I believe that knowledge is power and nobody can take away from us what we know. For the next few days , I will be posting these empowering nuggets on increase. Enjoy and get renewed in your mind on God's position for us regarding Increase.

 Increase means:

1. To become greater or larger.

2. To multiply; reproduce.

3. To make greater or larger.

Gen 48 :16 The Angel who has delivered me from all harm —may he bless these boys. May they be called by my name and the names of my father’s Abraham and Isaac, and may they increase greatly on the earth.”

Exo  23:30 Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land.

Lev 19:25 But in the fifth year you may eat its fruit. In this way your harvest will be increased. I am the LORD your God.

Lev 25 :16 When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price, because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops.

 Deut 7:13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

Deut 8:13 And when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied.

Deut 16 :15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

Ps 67 :6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us

Ps 71 :21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.

Ps  107:38 He blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let their herds diminish.

Ps 107 :41 But he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased their families like flocks.

Prov 13 :11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labor shall increase.

Prov 28 :8 Whoever increases wealth by taking interest or profit from the poor amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor.

 Eze 36 :11 I will increase the number of people and animals living on you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

Increase is from God and not the devil. God does not want us to seek  increase by going to the devil or compromising our faith /values in order to increase. God is not unhappy for our desires to increase, because He puts them there but He is concerned about our focus and ways that we are seeking the increase. God desire and wants our attention/focus to be on Him and Him alone.

Increase was given as a command from the foundation of the earth for mankind before Satan ever existed.

God desires us to increase in our procreation in the context of marriage between a man and woman. Marriage was not man or devil’s idea but God’s.

Gen 1:27- 28 So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground 

Gen 9:1  [God’s Covenant with Noah] Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.

Gen 24 :60 And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “Our sister, may you increase to thousands upon thousands; may your offspring possess the cities of their enemies.”

Jer 29:6  Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease.

God wants us to increase in our joy. The joy of the Lord is our strength, 

Neh 8:10. We are not to allow any situation, or circumstances or any one steal our joy.

Isa 9:3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.

 Isa 29:19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

To be continued.
