Increase & Multiplication

Exponential Increase is not something that we have to wait for. It’s something we simply need to activate by our faith!

3 IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT GOD'S BLESSING! - Psalm 115: 9-15

1. His Blessing is For You! – Psalm 115:12

MINDFUL – 'to mark something or someone for future purposes, specifically for recognition!'

People might be impressed with your performance but God is impressed with your obedience!

FEAR - 'to reverence to the point of obedience'  When you passionately put God first, it marks your life with blessing!

2. His Blessing Is For Now! – Psalm 115:15

God's blessing is not for someday; it's for today! It's more than just having stuff.  We are connected to an almighty God.  Sometimes we get distracted by what's happening around us and we get stressed.  We need to confess: I’m Not Stressed – I’m Blessed!

In John 10:10 Jesus said, "I have come to give you life to the full!"  When we confess stress, we loose our peace.  When we confess we are blessed, we don't allow stress to steal our peace.

3. His Blessing is for Increase! – Psalm 115:15

BLESSED – 'divine or supremely favoured by God'  You may know someone who has great connections, but when you are blessed of the Lord, you have the best connection in the world - God!  You can call in a favour any time when you have God's favour on your life!

This specific word BLESSED is always connected with increase and multiplication!  Reflect on these scriptures on increase: Genesis 12:2; Genesis 22:17; Psalm 67:6.  Get ready for increase and multiplication in every area of your life.

Isaiah 51:2 says, “Look unto Abraham.... for I called him and blessed him, and increased him”.  The word 'called' means  'set apart'; the word 'blessed' means 'God’s favour on your life';  the word 'increased' means 'every part of your life prospers'.  The first area God wants to increase us is spiritually! Matthew 6:33

CHALLENGE: In a society as busy as ours, it is so easy to get distracted.  If you get distracted, it can be very stressful.  In the year of Increase, it is important that you focus on the blessings of the Lord and not allow stress to distract you.  Meditate on today's word and ask the Lord to help you to stay focussed on His blessings so that you can experience increase & multiplication in all you do.

CONFESSION:
His blessing is for me, for now, for increase!  God has called me - I am set apart to obey God; God has blessed me - His favour is on my life; God has increased me - Every part of my life prospers; I am marked for blessing!
