INCREASE, GOD’S WAY.

By Dr. (Mrs) Akunna Adejuwon

“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”

Gen 1:28

God has always had increase in His heart for us His children. Starting from creation, after He made man, He gave him a command to “Be fruitful and multiply” It has been the plan from the beginning! 

Notice that also there were some rules that He gave Adam to abide by as he was in the garden of Eden which as long as he abided by those rules he would always increase or be fruitful in his dealings in life. 

Adam disobeyed God and committed high treason, that particular action set man up to some consequences that affected the Blessing! He couldn’t go beyond God’s best for him. Looking through the Old Testament to the New Testament, God’s will for his children to have and enjoy the best in life is clearly seen. Increase is always seen in any of his children that followed his status and worked closely with Him. We can see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, etc all of them experienced increase in their lives by following Him.

In this church age, God has given us His Word to work with. All that we need to experience His increase is in His Word!!

Obeying and willingly doing God’s command will set us up on the path of God’s increase or fruitfulness. When we constantly don’t do His Word, His Word won’t produce for us. Willingness and Obedience is the key to enjoy all of God’s promises. Isaiah 1:19

Attending to His Word daily and making it a priority in our lives will cause us to succeed in this life! 

Joshua 1:8 says (KJV)

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” 

Message translation says:

“And don’t for a minute let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re going; then you’ll succeed”.

YOU will make YOUR way prosperous and YOU will have good success( get where you are going).You obeying His Word is a determining factor to Increase in God’s way!
