PROMISE 25 – INCREASE

PROMISE 25 – INCREASE

The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. – Psalm 115:14
In this verse God promises “increase” but doesn’t specify the particular areas. Most likely this divine pledge should be realized in every area of our lives and the lives of our children—ever increasing peace and joy, ever-increasing wisdom and knowledge, ever-increasing intimacy with God and sensitivity to His will, and even ever-increasing material prosperity.
Referring to certain churches under his care, the apostle Paul said, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (1 Cor. 3:6). In like manner parents are called to plant seeds of truth in the lives of their children, then water the seeds with much love, but God is the One who brings forth increase—from “faith to faith” (Rom 1:17), from “strength to strength” (Ps 84:7), and from “glory to glory” (2 cor 3:18)!
PRAYER DECLARATION
Oh Lord of increase and abundance, I pray that You will be mindful of all the seeds of truth I have planted in my son. I pray these seeds will be watered by much love—both mine and Yours—and that they will germinate, grow, and bring forth great increase in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man, so let it be for my child. Yes, I pray, believe, and confess that Joshua will increase “with the increase that is from God”(Col. 2:19). In the name of Jesus, amen (LET IT BE SO)!
