INCREASE! – PART 1– INTRODUCTION!..

 

 

 

Our God is interested in increase. He made this known very early in creation, as seen from Gen 1:26-28, embedding it with the dominion mandate: “26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 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.” KJV

To increase means to become or make greater in size, amount or degree. It is to grow, enlarge, expand, multiply, rise, improve, strengthen or stretch. We thank God for the privilege of crossing over to 2026. His prophetic word for this year is INCREASE. As seen through Scripture, God is in the business of increase - spiritually, physically and materially. The Psalmist declared a pray of increase in Psalm 115:14-15 “May the Lord give you increase, you and your children! May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth!”

And according to Isaiah 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.” The ministry of the apostles of Jesus prospered in the early church because God increased it: Acts 2: 46-47 “With one accord they continued to meet daily in the temple courts and to break bread from house to house, sharing their meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” Apostle Paul states as much in 1 Cor. 3:6 “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.”

God has made the provision for increase this year. But it would require faith and preparedness to receive and manifest this divine supply. Isaiah 54:2, challenges us to prepare: “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.” The theme of our four-part series for the month of January, “Increase!”; will explore the various facets of increase and how we can receive same. Join us this and every Sunday, on-line or in person, as we explore the theme.
