Praise the Lord!
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Welcome to morning glow. Church Gist. Welcome to another time in the presence of the Lord. Trusting the Lord that you will be blessed, you will be favoured, the hand of the Lord will touch you, your life will never, never be the same.
Wherever you have joined from around the world, get ready to be blessed of the Lord, get ready to be imparted. Get ready for the Word of the Lord to really touch you and to really minister to you in the name of Jesus.
This season, I feel very strongly as we are in a period of fasting and praying and many of you are really crying for a change in your life. I want to start from this morning on the fact that it’s time for increase. It is time for increase and I am trusting the Lord that you will be increased on every side, you will be favoured on every side, you will be blessed on every side, it is time for increase to follow you in the name of Jesus.
Let me share with you seven manifestations of increased favour. When you don’t just get increased but it is an increase of the favour of God.
- Supernatural increase and promotion. The Bible says in the book of Genesis 39:21, but the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. Church Gist. So in this season of your life, God is going to give you supernatural increase and promotion, I say again, God will give you increase and promotion. Joseph was lifted by God, in the land of slavery, God increased him, God showed him mercy, God gave him promotion. I am believing God that when the increase of God comes upon your life, where people thought you will be down, you will rather be up, you will be above not under. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
- God is about to show you uncommon increase and promotion in the name of Jesus.
- As you are waiting on God in this season, God will open the Heavens, He will prove Himself as the mighty God in Jesus name.
- You will experience supernatural increase and supernatural favour. Glory to God!
Listen, when God’s hand is on your life, nobody can stop what He is ready to do for you. No one can stop what He is ready to bring on your life, supernatural increase and supernatural favour.
- Honour in the midst of adversaries. So when God decides to manifest increased favour, the second thing that will follow is honour in the midst of adversaries. In Exodus 11:3, the Bible says and the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants and in the sight of the people. Church Gist. So it is not the law of religion nor the principles of morality that defines our highways and pathways to increase, it is the hand of God.
So when God decides that you are going to experience increased favour, because even though we want to pray that it is time for increase, one of the greatest thing that should increase in your life is the favour of God.
When favour increases in your life, there will be such amazing outstretching hand of God in your life and it is only by grace and by the grace of God alone would you experience this dimension of blessing, honour in the midst of adversaries. So that in the very place where you should have been destroyed, God lifts you up. In the very place where they should have attacked your life, God lift you up. In the very place where you should have been put down, God lifts you up. In the very place where you should have been down, God lift you up. Church Gist. In the place where you should have been above only, never under, God decides to lift you up, honour in the midst of the adversaries. This is going to be one of your increased favours.
The first one again, supernatural increase and promotion. When God wants to increase your favour, He will give you supernatural increase and promotion. When God wants to increase your favour number two, He will give you honour in the midst of the adversaries so that the people who do not like you, the people who have said things about you, right in the midst of them, while they are still beholding, God lifts you up.
- You will not die before your time and even the enemy too will not die. They will live to see you lifted!
David said thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies. So it is His grace that conquer a multitude of flops and in that grace, there is only favour.
Favour is not achieved, favour is received, may you receive it. It is time for you to increase. I tell you, I don’t just want financial increase, I want an increase of favour because if favour is in your life, then the finance will come. I don’t just want any increase, I want an increase of the favour of God. Church Gist. The manifestation of the increased favour, the first one again, supernatural increase and promotion, the second one again in this season, honour in the midst of adversaries. When the enemy is increasing, God is lifting you up. Oh wow, wow, wow, you ruling in the midst of the enemy, glory to God!
- Restoration of everything the enemy has taken (Exodus 3:21). This kind of increase is when God causes a restoration of everything that the enemy took from you.
- Someone is at this altar this morning, the promotion God is about to bring to you is that the things that were stolen, the things that were taken will be restored to you.
- God will make your blessings come back. He will make your favour come back. He will make your breakthrough come back. The people who stole from you will have to restore. The Bible says a thief when he is caught will have to pay it back seven times, so get ready.
Every stolen joy, stolen blessing, for 430 years, the Egyptians plundered the Israelites but in one season, within a short period of Moses stepping into that place, there was a restoration by way of bombarding them with gold and silver and abundance and God knows what He is doing. He prospered His people with so much silver and gold because you wondered the people who are about to travel, who will be in the wilderness, what do they need the gold for, who are they going to show off to? But they needed it because later in the wilderness, there will be a need to use it to build the temple of God and so God prospered them with the gold, with the silver. When you go through the book of Leviticus, you will find out a lot of things in the house of God was built with gold and silver. If they had not plundered the Egyptians, they wouldn’t have the gold, the silver to make it happen. So for those who think why should I prosper, am being okay? It’s not just about you, it’s also about the house of God. It’s about the ministry, it’s about serving God. So God made them to prosper so that they too can become instruments in making the vision of the house of God a reality.
So get ready, it’s time for increase. God is about to increase you to a dimension you’ve never been. He is about to put in your hands the kind of favour you’ve never seen. Church Gist. He is about to put in your hand the kind of blessing you’ve never seen.
- I declare and decree in this season of your life that you will walk in the blessing like you have never known before, in the favour like you have never known before and it will be obvious, it will be manifest to everyone who knows you in the mighty name of Jesus.
- It’s time for increase and you will be the evidence in the name of Jesus.
- Victory in the midst of impossibilities. Oh wow! Let’s take it one by one again. It’s time for increase and God wants to give you seven manifestations of increased favour. First one, supernatural increase and promotion.
- As you are waiting on God in fasting and praying in this season, supernatural increase and promotion will follow you. No man will be able to stop you (Genesis 39:21).
Number two, honour in the midst of adversaries. In the midst of the adversaries, enemies, whether they like it or not, God is lifting you so they don’t know what to do. The rose, as beautiful as it is, grows on the stalk full of thorns. The stalk could not stop the beauty of the rose. So in the midst of the enemies, in the midst of the thorns shall come forth your beautiful petals of glory and the adversaries will not be able to stop you in the name of Jesus.
Number three, restoration of everything the enemy has stolen. Get ready, increased favour is coming and this is the kind of favour on another level, new level, increased favour. Exodus 3:21 – the favour was too much, slaves went to the Aristocrat of Egypt, the highly placed and say, hey, hand me over your gold, your silver and they were handing it over. But number four, victory in the midst of impossibilities. It looks impossible but God will give you victory .
Joshua 11:20 – so suddenly an enemy rose to fight the people of God but God had a plan. He wanted to destroy these people who are had risen against Israel and God gave these ex slaves called the Israelites, He gave them victory, it was awesome. God gave them an amazing victory. It looks impossible, in fact God showed forth for them that He made the movement of the earth around the axis of the sun to change that day. The sun stood still. I hope you get the message. You see our planet is the fastest car, we are in the fastest car. Earth is traveling 32,000 miles per hour and yet it does a 24-hour circle around the earth. God stopped it, no movement until Joshua won. That movement, the car came stand still for the first time. This is impossible because of the gravitational pull of the earth to make it continue but God suspended the gravitational pull, God suspended everything in order to make the victory of His people possible.
- God will go out of His way to make your victory possible, your testimony possible, the hand of the Lord possible in your life.
- Right this moment I prophecy to somebody’s life today, what looks impossible, God is turning it round right now as you are in this season of fasting and prayer.
- Some people are rejoicing that they’ve already won over you, they’ve already conquered, I prophecy right now a change, victory in the midst of the impossible!
Most of the key buildings God has given KICC has often been victory in the midst of the impossible. When we are to buy what was known as water dam road, an eighty-nine hectares site, we have to compete with one of the biggest PLC, we were David, they were Goliath but God gave us victory in the midst of the impossible.
When we were to buy Prayer City, it just didn’t look possible. We didn’t have enough money and the bank refused to give a mortgage but victory in the midst of the impossible. Church Gist. Your history is an indication of your destiny many times. God is making us take on giants because He knows we are capable. Don’t be afraid, your testimony is about to manifest fully, your glory is about to manifest fully in the name that is above all names.
- I release an atomic power into your situations so that God gives you victory in the midst of the impossible and He is silencing the voice that says you will not have your testimony in the name of Jesus.
- Recognition even when you seem likely the least to receive it. Recognition, even when you seem likely the least to been given recognition, God elevates you, that is something that will increase for someone during this fasting and prayer.
1 Samuel 16:22 – this was before David came to do anything. He was invited to the palace to come and play the guitar and to sing to suit the oppression of the demonic on Saul’s life. David did not know that God was beginning to prepare him, so the king sent for David to bring him to the palace he would take over one day. There was a recognition of the gifting on this 17-year old boy even when he seems the least likely to receive it.
What God is about to do in your life, it has nothing to do with having degrees or Oxford certification. God is going to lift you up, a recognition is going to come on your work, come on your future, come on your destiny, come on your business. Church Gist. There is going to be a promotion that man did not ochestrate, receive it, receive it, receive it in this season and in the seasons remaining in this year, there is going to be a recognition even when you seem the least likely.
“I saw in my spirit right now that there is somebody on this platform, God is going to give you the kind of business, I think it’s real estate, that when people hear the breakthrough you have, it exceeds the image they’ve built about you. God is so going to explode a business, a business, a blessing in your hand. You will be the one sought after by your family, by your friends, by people because you will be the one God lifts up in what He is about to do in your life in the name of Jesus.”
- Prominence and prefertial treatments.
- Increase is coming on your life, increase is coming to your house, increase is coming to your family, increase is coming to your destiny. You will not wait in vain. You will not pray in vain. You will not fast in vain. You will not cry out to the Lord in vain.
Esther 2:17, the king loved Esther more than all the other women and she obtain grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins, so he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Vashti is a daughter of the soil, Esther is a slave, born in slave quarters. Vashti was raised clean and proper, Esther wore slave’s clothes. Vashti was raised possibly among her kind of family and they must have sought for her to be married to the king, Esther was raised by an uncle, not even her parent, her parent died when she was young. Vashti ate the best meal in the world, wine and dine with the best people on the earth, Esther ate the ration meant for slaves, the food given to slaves. But when the hand of the Lord comes upon you for supernatural increase, God will give you prominence, God will grace you for preferential treatment.
- Somebody is at this altar this morning, the time has come for you to be brought into prominence in a way that will honour the Lord, prominence that will bring glory to God, prominence that will bring testimony, a change in the name of Jesus.
Grace and favour are two sister word, meaning almost the same thing. Grace is a blessing you do not merit, favour is a grace and blessing and abundance you did not qualify for. Church Gist. So it’s like God gave Esther double, double in the sight of the king more than everyone else and the royal crown of an empire was placed on her head.
- This day, the hand of God for preferential treatment comes on your life, changes your story. You will walk in increase, it is time for your increase !
- If somebody has to leave the place for your prominence to come, receive in the name of Jesus.
- If somebody has to make a mistake for you to be recognised, receive in the name of Jesus.
- If somebody have to get out of the way for your glory to shine, receive in the name of Jesus.
- If somebody have to take a step they shouldn’t have taken because God wants to bring an increase to your life, receive in the name of Jesus
- Battles won which you won’t fight. This is a level of increase (Psalm 44)
- Battles won which you won’t fight, God will fight them for you!
- Battles won which you didn’t have to fight, God will fight them for you in Jesus name.
- Today I prophecy into your life that the issues that you are facing, the battle that seems to look like you need someone to help you take charge, someone to help you fight, I declare and decree this day that the Lord himself, He goes ahead of you as a mighty warrior, as a great warrior. He takes on your fight, He wins the battles for you in Jesus name!
Psalm 71:21
There are some among the believers who behaved like, oh Christians are not called to greatness, you are called to just be sober, to be humble, to put ourselves down, He said if you put yourself down, He will exalt you in due course. Hey, didn’t you hear that if you humble yourself, He will increase you, He will promote you.
God is not against your greatness, He just didn’t want you to be carried away by the greatness or to worship the greatness but to realize that when God lifts you to be great, it is with the purpose to make a change, to make a difference, to make an impact, to change your world.
- I speak into your life today that there will be an increase of greatness!
