Great Increase in Him

 

Text: Genesis 26:13 (KJV)

And the man waxed great, and went forward and grew until he became very great.

The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy (NIV)

Friends, the outcome of a walk of obedience with God is a life of great increase. We can see from the scripture above that the result of God’s blessing on Isaac’s life was that he became very wealthy. His faithfulness and obedience led not only to multiplication in his fields which we saw hundredfold blessings that brought envy but also to personal growth and influence. He became great in wealth and reputation. Deuteronomy 8:18 - But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth that he may establish his covenant. This shows us that God gives you the power to get blessings, and it affects every dimension of our lives - spiritual, personal, family, and even material. Therefore, true greatness is not achieved by human effort alone; it is as a result of God’s favour combined with diligence and obedience. This is what makes us to become great and continue to grow greatly. Psalm 115:14–15 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.

Interestingly, as believers, when we honour God, trust Him, and remain faithful, He positions us to grow beyond our natural capacity. It is important we delight in Him as we are like that tree planted by the riverside. Proverbs 10:22 - The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it. Remember, growth may come in different forms like resources, opportunities, influence, or wisdom. But let’s be encouraged to always glorify God in our increase as He takes us to the mountain top and we shall also benefits others in Jesus name.

Prayer Points:

1. Father, let Your blessing increase my life in every area and bring influence for Your glory in Jesus name.
2. Lord, help me to remain faithful and humble as You make me great in Your sight in Jesus name.

Action Quote: Remember, God’s blessing doesn’t just multiply resources; it multiplies your capacity and impact.
