THE POWER OF INCREASE

He rescues me from my enemies; he lifts me up high and keeps me out of reach, far from the grasp of my violent foe.

Psalms 18:48 TPT

An airplane stays in the air if the thrust force from the engine is greater than the force of gravity. Proverbs 14:34 NKJV says, “ Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a reproach to any people.” Sin brought about decays, death , and decrease in all things. While righteousness counteracts it causing increase in all things. Through grace, we are born righteous, whenever sin increases, grace outweighs it, giving increases through righteousness.

Romans 5:21 NIV says, “so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” For “ if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. “ (Romans 8:10 NIV)

OUR new life is a life of increase since we are under grace. For we are dead to a life of decrease and alive to the life of increase.(1 Peter 2:24) That does not mean we will not encounter moments of decrease in this fallen world. However, our power of increase depends on if we are conscious of grace and His gift of righteousness that brings increases or sin that brings decrease. Romans 8:6 NKJV says, “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.”

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO SET OUR EYES ON INCREASE AND NOT DECREASE IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
