UNCOMMON INCREASE | DAY 18/40 | THURSDAY 16-02-2023
Isaiah 54:3 For you shall break forth (INCREASE) on the right hand and on the left; and your seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabit1ed.
STEP 1 | We serve the God Of Uncommon Increase.
Isaiah 51:2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
Jeremiah 30:19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
1 Corinthians 3:6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
STEP 2- UNCOMMON INCREASE IS GOD'S PROMISE FOR YOU NOT ONLY TO INCREASE YOU BUT ALSO TO INCREASE YOU MORE AND MORE ... BELIEVE IT IS FOR YOU ...
Psalm 115:14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
Isaiah 54:3 For YOU shall break forth (INCREASE) on the right hand and on the left; and YOUR seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
The biblical word for increase, “auzano,” means to grow, to increase, to enlarge, and it refers to the growth of that which is alive, naturally or spiritually.
Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, ‘Lo, I come (in the volume of the Book it is written of Me) to do Thy will, O God.’"
- It is you who shall break forth
- It is your seed that shall inherit the gentiles
- It is you to appropriate it
- It is you to own it
- It is you to personalize it
- It is you to possess it
- It is you to make it your own
- It is is you to declare ... I shall break forth /increase on the right hand and on the left; and my seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
- It is about you to say IT IS MINE. IT IS MY SEASON OF UNCOMMON INCREASE ON EVERY SIDE
- No one will ever do it for you
STEP 3 - UNCOMMON INCREASE IS ABOUT YOU PARTNERING WITH GOD TO ENLARGE, GROW, EXPAND YOU ON EVERYSIDE.
God is the Covenant Keeping God. He will never do what you are called to God, And you will never do what He is called to do.
It is your responsibility to plant and to water. And it is the responsibility of God to give the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:5 "Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?"
1 Corinthians 3:6 "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase".
LESSON 1 | For God to give the increase, A seed must be planted. The seed planted must be watered. Then God will give the increase.
LESSON 2 | If nothing is planted. If what is planted is not watered, God will not give the increase.
LESSON 3 | No matter how much you plant and how much you water, if God is not the center of the deal, planting and watering will just end up to be futile, vain, useless ...
Psalm 127:1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
I like the part of "... But God..." or "...Except the Lord..."
STEP 4 | UNCOMMON INCREASE IS ABOUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY THAT ANYTHING HOLDING YOU BACK MUST BE BROKEN FOR YOU TO BREAK FORTH.
Zechariah 2:1 I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Zechariah 2:2 Then said I, Where go you? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
Zechariah 2:3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Zechariah 2:4 And said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
Zechariah 2:5 For I, said the LORD, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the middle of her.
What is holding you back? Is it your past? Is it fear? Is it inferiority complex? Is it lack of confidence?
God wants to be himself your limits. You are called to be a city without walls. You should not live below your God-given potential. Like this man in Zechariah 2, do not put / draw limits around you while God sees you as a city without walls
STEP 5 | FILL THE CLOUD AND GOD WILL SEND THE RAIN
LESSON 1 | Uncommon increase happens when God decides that what you carry within you / what you have planted / what you have sowed burst out to impact many.
Ecclesiastes 11:3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
The upper room experience is a beautiful illustration of that uncommon increase.
They were only 12 when they started with Jesus. When Jesus died, resurrected and ascended, they were left 120. But from 120, they shifted to 3120. From 3120, 5000 were added. Then great multiplication took place as we can read from the Scriptures below
Act 1:15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
Act 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Act 4:4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
Act 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.
What have they done? What were the keys for such an uncommon increase? They filled the cloud.
KEY 1- They waited at the place Jesus ordained for them to stay.
Waiting is not wasting. Waiting is saving.
Acts 1:12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
Act 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
KEY 2- They were continuously in prayer, in supplication, in agreement and in the company of faith.
Act 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
KEY 3- THEN, THEIR DAY OF INCREASE AME SUDDENLY ...
Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
STEP 6 : FOR THE UNCOMMON INCREASE TO BE CONTINUOUS
Covenant Responsibility 1 | Enlarge the place of your tent
Ephesians 3:20 KJV Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
The problem is not with the tent. The problem is with the place of the tent. The smaller the place, The smaller the tent. The place is in your mind.
Your mind is your womb. An empty mind is a barren mind. A small mind can never handle great blessings. Your thoughts are prayers. God is not able to do anything beyond the size of your mind
Don't ask one thing and think otherwise. Whatever you ask or expect from God, think likewise. Think possibility not impossibility. Think positivity not negativity. Think success not failure. Think prosperity not poverty. Think great not small
Covenant Responsibility 2 | Stretch your curtains (Curtains are coverings of the tent)
2 Kings 4:6 NKJV Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not another vessel." So THE OIL CEASED.
Revelation 3:17 AMP Because you say, "I am rich, and have prospered and grown wealthy, and HAVE NEED OF NOTHING," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked [without hope and in great need],
PROFILE OF A SELF-SUFFICENT BELIEVER
1- He doesn't thirst for God anymore.
2- He doesn't hunger for God anymore.
3- He doesn't thirst for teachings anymore.
4- He becomes full of himself
5- He doesn't attend a session or the service but he is not feeling like he missed the session or the service.
DANGER OF BECOMING SELF-SUFFICENT
1- God stops blessing
2- The anointing stops to flow
3- Dryness
WHAT LEADS TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY
1st Source - Beware of pride and self-sufficiency.
2nd Source - Beware of familiarity with God and with the things of God.
Stop lowering your standard to please people. Raise the bar higher and keep raising it higher and let those who are interested to join you there. Don't settle for less. Fight familiarity because it leads to disrecpect and to carelessness. Fight self-sufficiency
Thirst and hunger for more of God, more of his presence, more of his anointing, more of his power, more of his grace, more of his love
Covenant Responsibility 3 | Lengthen your cords and strenghten your stakes
Cords are used to fasten, strengthen and keep the different parts of the tent together. Stakes are pieces of wood or timber sharpened at one end and set in the ground to support the tent. Called also tent peg.
Mind who you associate with. Walk with people close to your purpose. Walk with peole close to your passion. Walk with people close to your principles of life.
