WHY YOUR INCREASE MUST LEAD TO POSSESSION
INCREASE MUST LEAD TO POSSESSION
As important as increase is, it is not an end in itself. Increase is supposed to lead to possession. Any form of increase, should be directed at possessing something. A sphere of influence, an area of the market, an aspect of business, influence, etc. No matter where you are involved with, your increase must have a purpose. Your increase needs to lead to some form of possession or the other.
Going back to the book of Genesis 1:28;
“Then God blessed them, and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
From the scripture above, God has so much interest in us increasing that He actually blessed us to increase. In his blessing however, a close examination reveals that God’s desire does not end in the increase or multiplication of his children. He goes ahead to expatiate on his blessings to us. Our multiplication must increase till it fills the earth. That right there, is possession!
Ladies and gentlemen, where are you involved in? Are you in business? According to this passage, God himself is interested in you being blessed. His interest however goes beyond your blessing. For too often, we seem to get satisfied that we are blessed. God wants you to look beyond your blessings. He wants you to begin to plan for increase. Increase must become your natural desire. But even when you can testify that you have some amount of increase or the other, God still doesn’t want you to get satisfied.
Right now, the voice of God is coming to you that you should begin to strategize, plan, draw out tactics, methodologies, of how your business would take over that particular sphere of business where you are. You were placed there by God for a reason. You need to possess the land for the glory of the KING! There is no possession without increase. Every increase must lead to possessions.
Do you have an idea? What are your dreams and aspirations concerning that idea? Do you just want to see it increase? Or you are glad, if it is simply blessed? God’s aspiration however goes far beyond that. As you are increasing, you are supposed to be believing God that this idea that he has given to you, will increase until it gets to a state of full possession of the land, city or nation, where God has planted you. Every increase has purpose. That purpose is possession!
