Praise the Lord!
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Welcome to Morning Glow, welcome to another time in the presence of the Lord. Welcome to a time of refreshing, renewing, receiving from God. Welcome to a time of encounter with the Holy Spirit. I trust the Lord that this morning you will be blessed, God will minister to you, you will have reasons to magnify His name.
We must first give honour and glory, praise and adoration to the One who kept us all through the night, who kept us by His mighty power; the One who blessed us with His strength.
Heavenly Father, how great you are! We magnify You this day, we celebrate Your goodness, Your greatness, Your power. We make great Your name from the rising of the sun to the going down of it. Church Gist. You are God from beginning to the end, there is no place for argument. There is no god like You, there is no one who deserves our praise, our worship like You.
Meet with Your people at the point of their needs today. Let the outstretching of Your hand be for healing, for deliverance, for favour, for breakthrough, for testimony. Let somebody’s breakthrough and testimony be connected to them this morning. We give You praise. We know You will exceed our prayer in Jesus name.
Amen!
Wherever you have joined us from this morning, welcome to Morning Glow one more time. I trust the Lord that this morning, you will have reasons to magnify the Lord, you will have reasons to glorify God, you will have reasons to say thank You Lord for bringing me to the place of the Morning Glow.
Again today we continue that, it is time for increase. For somebody who is on this platform today, I will like you to know that it is time for increase. God is about to bring an uncommon increase into your life, a supernatural kind of increase, a dimension kind of increase that is beyond the natural. Church Gist. I want you to know that God wants to do something that no man can do, something that no one can fix for you; a supernatural increase that will bring glory to His name, a supernatural increase that will bring testimony to your life, a supernatural increase that will make you to know that great is our God and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness, beautiful for situation. He is the joy of the whole earth, mount Zion on the side of the north.
I trust the Lord that from this morning’s Morning Glow, something will happen in your life that will bring you into a season of uncommon increase and your life will be a testimony, you will go out and testify of how the Lord has brought increase on your life in the name of Jesus.
I want you to know we celebrate you, we welcome you from around the world, wherever you have joined us from. Some of you really do sacrifice, you join us from places like the United States, which means you have to stay till early hours of the morning. Some of you join us from 1:00 clock so that you can be part of what God is going to do. Church Gist. All of you I want you to know that God will not overlook the steps you have taken, the sacrifice you have made and He is going to proof Himself mighty in your life in the name of Jesus. You will increase on every side, you will be blessed on every side. God will cause your increase to come and God will cause your enlargement to follow, people will see it and they will agree with you that this is the hand of the Lord and it is marvellous and it is awesome.
This morning I will like to encourage you, to let you know that; look, God desires your increase, He desires your favour, He desires your blessings, He desires that you will increase on every side, that you will overcome. The Scripture make us to know that God wants you to increase, He wants you to breakthrough. He wants an increase of favour on your life, an increase of grace on your life, an increase of blessing on your life, an increase of the supernatural in your life. God wants an increase that is beyond the ordinary in your life.
The Bible says in the days of Isaac that there was famine and Isaac wanted to do what everyone will do regularly and God told him, hey, don’t move, don’t join the crowd. Church Gist. So when you need an increase from God, you must not lean on the arm of the flesh, God will be your source. God told him; do not move, stay in the land and I will show you what to do, I will tell you what to do. Whenever you need a supernatural increase, you must realise that man can promote you, men can give you money but the kind of increase we are talking about this morning comes from the Lord.
So God was saying to Isaac, if you obey my voice, if you stay where I told you to stay, you will experience what I want you to experience and somebody is on this altar this morning, God is about to tear down the boundaries that have held you for a long time, there may have been resistance by hell but it will have no choice but shift for the power of God in the name of Jesus.
I want you to know that God will bring your increase and increase here means to be empowered to prosper. Increase means to be empowered to multiply. Increase means to be empowered to excel. Increase means to be empowered to handle more. So God said to Isaac, I will bless you, I will empower you, I will increase you even in the midst of this famine. Don’t you know the God you serve? The famine does not control the economy of heaven and you are connected to the economy of heaven, I hope you get that!
Isaac was connected to a system different from the one around him. Many Christians don’t just know how to realize that. Church Gist. Your must powerful roots are not into the culture of where you are working or living, or the culture of where you were born or raised. Now that you are born again, your root should be connected and drawing from the Kingdom of God.
I’ve told you before, the stature of liberty in New York; when there was a power outage in the whole of New York, there was light in the stature of liberty and they couldn’t figure out how the whole city, the big apple was in darkness but the lady with the lamp truly had light and they began to search only to find out that it wasn’t witchcraft, it was rather that the cables for power supplied to the stature of liberty was not connected to the grade of New York that surrounded her, it was connected to the grade of another state.
You have to see that when your understanding comes to that place where you see that you are connected to the grade of heaven, there is going to be an uncommon increase in your life and this morning, as you go into work, as you go into the things you want to do, God is going to bring you into that increase, into that favour, into that testimony, into that turnaround. God is going to bring you into that season where things work out beyond your imagination, beyond your dream in the name of Jesus.
Infact, one of the things God did was to tell Isaac that in the midst of that famine, for him to know that he is not connected to the system of where he lives, when it comes to his increase, he should sow seeds, wow! Genesis 26:12, then Isaac sowed in the land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold and the Lord blessed him. Church Gist. I’m sure those who passed by His farm when he was farming must have thought; is there anyone foolish than this? Who sow when there is no rain? The heat of the sun will beat the seed, it will die in the soil and it will not grow. It is the death of the seed and the rain that falls that makes the cotyledon of the seed to open up and the law of gravity pulls the root down and another force pushes the plant up.
Listen to me this morning, they may mock you and think you are doing the wrong thing but someone is connected this morning, God is bringing you into a season of increase, it is time for increase.
Isaac obeyed, he grew richer, he had more possessions, he had flocks in abundance, herds in abundance, servants in abundance until the people he met in the land envied him because he was now the one supplying them water to drink, he has his own bottling company, shall we call it that way. Church Gist. He was the one supplying them protein, he had flock. He was the one supplying them grains, he planted and he had hundred folds return. He was the one supplying them fodder for those who still have sheep.
- Somebody connected to this morning, God is going to raise you by a peculiar hand and He is going to make you a message, a parable to your generation in the name of Jesus.
It was a great harvest. The Philistines stood on one side of his farm and envied him. They had no crops, he had crops. They had zero , he had hundredfold. The Bible clearly says hundredfold return. So look at two farms, zero fold return on this farm because it is the Philistines who is not connected to Jehovah El-Shaddai and this farm belonging to Mr Isaac, who is connected to Jehovah El-Shaddai and he didn’t get 40% return. During a famine, if there are some rain that later fell, you will get some results, Isaac got 100% because the river of God never dries, the source of God never dries. God was with him but the Philistines serve another god. Isaac served the Jehovah, even if he sowed in that land without God being with them, they couldn’t have experience the kind of blessing he experienced. That was why they kept taking wells from him and when they took the well, the couldn’t find water.
When God breaths on your work, increase follows, blessing follows. Church Gist. What was the secret? Isaac took God at His word and he sowed in spite of the famine. We sing that song;
“Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at His word.
Just to rest upon His promise, just to know thus sayest the Lord.
Jesus, Jesus how I trust Him, how I’ve proved Him over and over.
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus, oh for grace to trust Him more”
Listen, if it happened to Isaac, increase can happen to you. I repeat, if it happened to Isaac, increase can happen to you. How do I know?
Romans 15:4 beautifully paint a picture, it says for whatever things were written, were written for our learning that we through patience and comfort of the Scripture might have hope. That we will be able to say Isaac had increase, I can have increase.
- I declare in this day that you are going to walk in supernatural increase, the Heavens will breath upon your life and give you uncommon testimony.
So if you read the story in Genesis 26 without learning anything from it, then you don’t know the Scriptures. Church Gist. The Bible makes us to understand that we can experience increase but what will be the basis for that increase? OBEDIENCE.
Isaac did not debate. Isaac did not analyse. Analysis paralysis is killing a lot of people. They did not realize that the Bible makes it clear, we walk by faith and not by sight. You got to learn how to take God at His word and rely on God’s word and know that it is impossible for Him to lie.
Another translation of that Romans 15:4, the New Living Translation says; such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. They give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled. Church Gist. This means that what we read about Isaac was written to give us hope and to give us assurance that if He did it before, He can do it again.
Another passage in Scriptures says this things happened to them for examples, they are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the earth is come (1 Corinthians 10:6-7, 11). So they were written to encourage us. If He did it before, He can do it again. There’s a testimony that God had done it before and it didn’t says it end at that time. Glory to God!
If it happened to them, not only will it happen for you, better way, better manifestation, that’s exactly how Hebrews 8:6 put it. Hebrews 8:6 gives us the understanding that you and I are under a better convenant because the Old Testament was sealed with the blood of animals, the New Testament is seal with the blood of the Lamb of God Himself. Glory to God!
So get ready for increase. The day of smallness will be over. The day of tinyness will be over. God is an about to lift you to levels you’ve never been (Job 8:7).
Yesterday I was musing upon the goodness of God; when I finished Bible school and I spent a month praying and fasting before I now came to submit myself to the denomination where I served and when they eventually took me as a pastor, I took over the room which they have rented for the previous assisting pastor and he packed all his load. I didn’t have anything there except a small mattress to sleep on. But I told them I have my load in the city where I was praying before I came to take over as pastor. So they were waiting, they gave me a vehicle to go and bring the load. Lo and behold, all I had was three chairs, a two and half feet bed, very narrow, infact you must not turn too much, for your next turn will be on the floor and that was all I had in the room. So I had to quickly buy some buckets and it’s a one room kind of house. You had one room, other tenants had one, one room and I have to go and buy bucket, I have to buy this thing we call the boiling ring. Somebody cooked for me but sometimes when I needed to quickly cook something, this boiling ring was for boiling water; we use it to boil anything, taking some dangerous steps.
One day, a brother came into my room and say; yeah, I heard that they are going to bring your load. Is this the load? I said yes. He looked at me like; so much for a load. But you see, though your beginning be small, your later end shall be exceedingly great. Church Gist. He probably measured my life by whatever was in that 12 feet by 10 feet room. He didn’t know that my furniture was inside me awaiting manifestation, awaiting the season of my increase.
- I prophecy on someone this morning, you will end up better than ever in the name of Jesus.
- Your future will be exceedingly great in the name of Jesus.
- God is going to lift you in a way you’ve never been lifted before.
- God will give you favour like you’ve never been given before.
- In the name of Jesus, increase, increase, increase, increase like you have never known, like you have never seen in the name of Jesus.
- For someone who is at the altar today, your increase begins with the restoration of lost years, with the restoration of lost favours, with the restoration of lost opportunities, with the restoration of lost glory, lost grace, lost joy!
The Bible tells us in Job 42:10-17, when his increase came after he had lost everything. One time in the palace, now he is sitting on the rubbles of what used to be the house. He had children but he had buried all of them, seven boys and three girls. He had so many children, all buried. He had houses, seven thousand sheep, all died in one day but then in the day of his restoration and increase, Job 42:10-17, and the Lord restore Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends.
- I speak into your life today, a restoration of lost year, lost ground, lost opportunities, lost favours.
Indeed the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had.
- God will increase you beyond your imagination, it will be more than twice of what you had before. Church Gist. God will increase you and double you on every side, favour you on every side, bless you on every side. He will increase you and stop the hand of the enemy.
- God is increasing you. Your joy is been restored, your glory is been restored, your favour is been restored, your dignity is been restored. God will increase your dignity, increase your joy.
- I speak into your life today, an unusual kind of increase, the kind of increase that will make men and women you don’t even know to come and bless you. The picture is changing. Your mourning is over, celebration is coming. Increase, increase, increase.
- A dimension of increase like you have never known is coming to your life. Unusual increase is coming to your life. Supernatural increase is coming to your life.
- Increase is coming to your life. Testimony is coming to your life. Blessing beyond your measure is coming to your life.
- I declare and decree this morning and I say to you, the increase that will silence the enemy is coming to your life.
- I speak into your life today that you will not live a life of survival, you will live a life of increase, supernatural increase. God will breath on what is in your hand. God will breath on your life. God will distinguish you. God will increase you. With the kind of asset God will put into your hand, God will distinguish you in Jesus name.
- God will increase you with a kind of distinction that have never been seen before. Receive, receive, receive!
- Receive double for all your days of pain. receive double for all the seasons of challenges you’ve been through. Increase, increase, increase.
Don’t let the devil lie to you that you are okay. You need the increase so you can bless your generation, so you can have a comfortable life.
- Increase on a dimension beyond your imagination, increase that make you do as occasion demands, receive in Jesus name!
United Kingdom has one of the best medical systems in the world and that is free for tax payers and yet I don’t wait for it when I want to do my annual checks. I just go to my private doctor, if I want to do it with the national health service of the UK, I may have to wait for one month, two month, three month, I am not even sure they do annual checkup for people. But with my doctor as I call, they just look at the diary, it could be 24 hours, it could be within 48 hours and when I went, I was too excited when I began to hear the report. Church Gist. When I saw the benefits of intense exercise and shedding off all the baggage I was carrying, I found out that my body now has the metabolic age 54, not 69. My body is now metabolic age of 54. My oxygen circulation is 98%.
- I declare into your life today, an increase of the favour of God, an increase of health, an increase of wealth, an increase of wisdom; healthy, wealthy, wise. May you be healthy, may you be wealthy, may you be wise in the name of Jesus!
- This day I speak increase, unusual, uncommon, supernatural increase. Increase in your age in the name of Jesus!
