INCREASE MORE AND MOREDate: 04-02-2010
Speaker: Sis. Stella Dhinakaran Gist: It is faith that gives us victory in this world
God will increase you more and more! Following is a beautiful promise which says, “May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children.” (Psalm 115:14). Claiming this promise verse daily, all the members of the family should ask God to bless them and lead them as He led Cornelius (Acts 10:2). Through this prayer, God will save you and protect you even if people rise against you vigorously to defeat and harm you in anyway. Our God who promised us is unchanging.
Particularly those couples who have no children, those women who have lost all hopes of conceiving, those women who conceive but cannot deliver and those who have lost hope in life are sure to be blessed if they look up to God like Sarah and Abraham with indomitable faith in God. If you continue to hold fast to this promise and pray to Him at all times, God will surely strengthen you in faith and remember you at times of trouble and bless you abundantly (Romans 4:20-22).
A certain couple was barren for many years. The parents of the man casually commented, “Son! She is barren! It is better we arrange another marriage for you. We would love to see our descendants through you.” Upon hearing these words which pierced her heart like thousand arrows, the woman begged her husband to have mercy upon her for some more time. Once while reading the Bible diligently, her eyes fell on this promise verse. May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children (Psalm 115:14). Fresh faith filled her heart and she placed her trust in God with without any reservation. She fasted and prayed with all sincerity whenever privileged with an opportunity. Soon, God blessed her womb and she conceived. God surprisingly shut all the mouths that mocked her. Besides filling her heart with divine joy and peace He made others rejoice as well. God who fulfills His promises enabled her to lead a happy and blessed family life.
Dear Friend! Today, you and your family may suffer facing many troubles by carrying unbearable burden since you lack certain blessings. You need not grow weary on account of this. Just as Jesus Christ had compassion and blessed the woman in the above incident, He will also make you increase a thousand times in your life. It is faith that gives us victory in this world (1 John 5:4). Accordingly have complete faith and confidence in God and bring before Him all your needs and those of your dear ones (Psalm 55:22). He would surely sustain you and increase you in life.
Prayer:
Precious Redeemer!
I suffer a lot because I lack so many things in this world From the above promise verse, now I know that you can take away all our insufficiency and bless us abundantly. Today, You please bless my life and make me increase in all my family matters. I thank You for doing so.
In the blessed name of our Lord Jesus I pray.
Amen. |
