EXPECT MORE
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, – Ephesians 3:20
Before we start off, let’s define how God is able to do more than you can ask or imagine and then let’s pray.
The Greek for IMMEASURABLY more is;
5238b. huperekperissou
from huper, ek and perissos
superabundantly
Transliteration: perissos
Phonetic Spelling: (per-is-sos’)
Short Definition: abundant, greater, vehemently, advantage
Definition: more, greater, excessive, abundant, exceedingly, vehemently; noun: preeminence, advantage.
Webster’s Definition of SUPERABUNDANT : excessive
You can see that the LORD IS ABLE to do EXCESSIVELY and ABUNDANTLY MORE than you could ASK OR IMAGINE in our lives and the lives of those around us!
So before we begin, let’s pray and ask the Lord for MORE faith, a RADIOACTIVE FAITH, that EXPECTS MORE and BELIEVES that He is ABLE to do More. This will unlock the KEY to MORE in our lives.
There are many people waiting on you TO PRAY THIS PRAYER NOW. They NEED SOMEONE TO APPLY THEIR FAITH AND ASK FOR MORE! Are you ready to be the one who is the conduit for MORE? If so, let’s pray;
“Lord, we believe that you are able to do MORE, so now we come to you, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, through whom we have access into “MORE” GRACE. We ask that you demonstrate IMMEASURABLY MORE for us. We know the Word says it’s more than we can IMAGINE, so we leave the SPECIFICS up to you because we can’t IMAGINE, nor can we possibly ASK, for what we can’t IMAGINE. So we ask you now, to do WHAT WE CAN’T IMAGINE OR ASK FOR in Jesus Name! Amen. We love You Lord and we KNOW You are ABLE! Amen.”
WHY MORE?
Many people think that asking God for MORE is selfish and greedy. Yet the reality of it is, is that we are commanded to ask for MORE. God expects us to come to Him for More and it’s His will to GIVE US MORE. He doesn’t mind us having stuff, however He minds if stuff has us. He doesn’t mind us having money, however He minds if money is has us. It’s the will of God that we ARE A BLESSING and that we BECOME A BLESSING in the lives of EVERYONE around us! We are BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING. He wants to do IMMEASURABLY more in our lives and He not only wants to, but IS ABLE TO DO MORE.
And there are many roadblocks to wanting and desiring more, but I will keep the negativity to a minimum and will address ONLY what GOD SAYS in His Word concerning this topic. I will say this one thing, It is SELFISH not to ask for more! There are people all around the world waiting for you to help them and to be a blessing to them. The only way that you are going to have the greatest impact is to APPREHEND the POWER AND RESOURCES you need, so you can in turn help the AS MANY people as possible. This is achieved BY BELIEVING GOD IS ABLE AND WANTS TO GIVE US MORE!
I’ve also found that most religious thinkers immediately judge THE ‘MORE’ PRINCIPLE of the Gospel, as being selfish and conclude that it’s about money. But the reality of it is, the PRINCIPLE OF ‘MORE’ applies to anything we might receive in the KINGDOM. You can receive MORE family, MORE friends, MORE anointing, MORE of God’s Presence, MORE knowledge, MORE WISDOM, more OF EVERYTHING! In all honesty, everyone of us has something in our lives, or in the Kingdom, that we need more of. So my question to you is, WHAT DO YOU NEED MORE OF?
FINANCIAL GROWTH
Jabez was a man who believed that God was ABLE and desired to GIVE HIM MORE. However, Jabez wasn’t selfish. Rather, he was an HONORABLE MAN that truly desired God more than financial riches. Let’s read his story,
9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. 10 Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. – 1 Chronicles 4:9-10
Many, including myself, have been guilty of thinking that the Jabez’ prayer was for MORE TERRITORY, or more land and wealth. The reality of it is, is that Jabez asked God for MORE BLESSING, MORE LAND, MORE OF GOD’S PRESENCE, MORE SAFETY, AND MORE HEALTH! Jabez believed that God could and would give Him MORE, otherwise he would have never asked for it. And what do you think God’s response was? YES! God loves to BLESS HIS CHILDREN! God loves to GIVE MORE because HE’S A GIVER by NATURE!
You see, if God granted Jabez’s request, what makes you think he won’t grant yours too! God is waiting and ready for HIS CHILDREN TO ASK FOR MORE! That’s why the word say;
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! – Matthew 7:7
God is a GIVER OF GOOD GIFTS! This is HIS WILL and THIS IS WHO HE IS! Jabez KNEW this and he came to God in Faith, asking HIM WHO IS ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE! As a result, God honored his request. Now if God did it for HIM HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU! Why? Do you think it’s because Jabez was more honorable than all his brothers, or do you think it was on account of HIS FAITH? Scripture says, “Without faith it’s impossible to please God, and those that come to Him MUST BELIEVE that he is a REWARDER of MORE, MORE AND MORE.
Are you ready to start asking for more? Well let’s continue to work on our FAITH, so that way, you can ask with the fullness of FAITH. This chapter has JUST BEGUN! MORE REVELATION is coming! Let’s dig deeper.
29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times MORE in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” – Mark 10:29-31
You see here in Mark 10, that no one who has LEFT homes, family, or fields for the gospel, will fail to RECEIVE 100 x MORE! MORE WHAT? More family, homes, and fields! In other words, what you give to God HE will NOT FAIL TO GIVE YOU BACK 100X MORE. You CANNOT OUT GIVE GOD! Whatever you give HIM, HE WILL GIVE BACK ALL THE MORE! God is the God of MULTIPLICATION AND THE GOD OF MORE!
But notice that it says, “IN THIS PRESENT AGE.” That means that you can expect it in this life and not just in the sweet by and by, or when you get to heaven! God not only desires that you have MORE, BUT IT’S HIS DESIRE THAT YOU HAVE MORE NOW! He CARES ABOUT your needs and the needs of those SUFFERING on this earth from the CURSE OF LACK! Lack is not the will of God, however MORE THAN ENOUGH, AND IMMEASURABLY MORE IS!!!
Also notice that that scripture says, “along with persecutions.” In other words, HATERS! When you start RECEIVING MORE, along with MORE of the BLESSINGS of God, will eventually come MORE PERSECUTIONS from the enemy through religious people. But that’s okay because God will give you MORE CONFIDENCE AND POWER over them! For every word of hate, God will send 2 words of love! God is FAITHFUL to His children and HE GIVES MORE GIFTS, MORE ANOINTING, MORE POWER, MORE SPIRIT, AND MORE PROTECTION!
Now you can’t breeze over the fact that in this scripture, it does mention fields and homes. That mean’s FINANCES and PROPERTY. It’s the will of God that you have MORE HOMES AND FIELDS. It doesn’t say home, but in fact home(s), which is plural. Many believe that God is asking from them, BUT THE TRUTH IS, God is looking and desiring to GIVE THEM MORE! He understands HIS OWN PRINCIPLES and is unlocking them, especially now to those of you who are reading! You just have to believe that when you GIVE, GOD WILL GIVE MORE! Now, let’s start EXPECTING EVEN MORE! Amen!
God is not looking to take from us, but to GIVE US MORE. HIS KINGDOM FINANCIAL SYSTEM is based on a 100 FOLD RETURN. This is why he teaches us HIS principles of SOWING AND REAPING. HE knows the SECRETS TO MORE and HE REVEALS them in HIS word. He DOES NOT LEAVE US IN DARKNESS WONDERING what His will is for our lives, but He blesses us with REVELATIONS that MAKE US EXCITED about GIVING, ALL WHILE KEEPING US EXPECTING MORE AND BETTER OUT OF LIFE! Say with me now, “Lord I know you are able and willing to do more.”
MORE REVELATION
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. – John 16:12
Besides homes, fields, family, territory, blessing, and his hand upon us (the anointing), God wants to give you MORE REVELATION! Yes, in fact, it’s the heart of God to empower you with more truth and more divine revelation about life and His will for your life. He wants to give you everything that you HAVE CAPACITY FOR, by Faith! So we should be asking ourselves for MORE CAPACITY for MORE. Lord, grow us from the INSIDE OUT, so that we can CARRY MORE.
You see, the Lord WANTED TO GIVE THEM MORE, however THEY COULDN’T BEAR IT! You can’t take GEOMETRY without first taking ALGEBRA, and you can’t take TRIGONOMETRY without taking GEOMETRY and you can’t take CALCULUS without taking TRIGONOMETRY and so on and so forth. Revelation is compounded.
Or let’s use another example from scripture. Jesus is the cornerstone and the apostles revelations were the foundation. The revelations upon those are the house and the walls and the roof, etc. In other words, REVELATION begets REVELATION and there are some foundational truths that MUST be learned first, in order to understand the greater truths. But this is not our point! Our point is THAT GOD DESIRES TO GIVE YOU AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BEAR! HALLELUJAH!
But not only does He desire to GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN BEAR, but He WILL TELL YOU OF “MORE” TO COME, before it even comes! Notice how Jesus said, “I have MUCH more to say…”. Why did he tell them HE HAD MUCH MORE TO SAY? He told them, BECAUSE HE WANTED TO CREATE INSIDE OF THEM AN EXPECTANCY FOR MORE! He wanted them to be longing for and waiting on HIS PROMISE FOR MORE because Jesus knew that the seed of faith was the very CATALYST to receiving that for which HE WAS PROMISING! Jesus was Promising MORE REVELATION! How awesome is that! Let’s move on AND KEEP GROWING IN FAITH, UNTIL IT BECOMES RADIOACTIVE FOR “MORE.”
MORE SOULS
Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number. -Acts 5:14
It’s the will of God that your spiritual family grows! It’s the will of God that you grow in numbers and that MORE AND MORE souls are saved through you and through the lives of those around you. It’s God’s will to increase you to LEAD MORE people. The Lord wants to see MORE people brought into the Kingdom of God, but He needs somebody to stand up in faith and say Lord, I want MORE! Do you want more? Or do you just want a little? Let it be according to your faith! If you desire MORE, God will prepare you for it and will give you the capacity to HANDLE IT.
MORE SPIRIT
If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much MORE will your Father in heaven give of the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” – Luke 11:13
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much MORE will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! – Matthew 7:11
There is MORE ANOINTING and MORE OF GOD’S’ PRESENCE through the Holy Spirit to those who HAVE RADIOACTIVE FAITH. Who will believe God at HIS WORD and be bold enough TO ASK FOR THE FULLNESS OF WHAT GOD PROMISED? The Holy Spirit is a gift and HE IS A GIFT THAT GIVES GIFTS. The Holy Spirit comes ultimately from the Father and was given to Jesus. Now through and by Jesus, he is poured out on us! Jesus is the one who pours out the Spirit on all flesh! Jesus breathed on the disciples for the indwelling of the Spirit, then POURED OUT THE GIFT, which is MORE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. You can see the first portion given to the disciples in the book of John;
And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” – John 20:22
Then after they received the indwelling, after the resurrection but before the ascension, Jesus then gave them ONE LAST FINAL COMMAND before ascending into heaven, he said;
“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. Acts 1:4
The Lord said, “But wait for the GIFT MY FATHER PROMISED.” MORE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT is a PROMISE to you and to every believer EVERYWHERE. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK and you WILL RECEIVE! So then Jesus ascended into heaven, immediately after giving this command, and then 10 days later, the Holy Spirit came “upon” every believer in the upper-room. He filled them to the overflow! Hallelujah! Peter then explained what had happened by the Spirit, he said;
Exalted to the right hand of God, he (Jesus) has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and (Jesus) has poured out what you now see and hear. – Acts 2:33 (parenthesis added)
You see, it was through Jesus that MORE of the Holy Spirit was given. The moral of the story is that YOU CAN ASK FOR MORE and there is MORE TO BE HAD! The Father wants to give you ACCESS to MORE of the Holy Spirit’s Power and Presence. However, that only comes through Jesus Christ. Follow and place your faith in Father God, through Jesus, AND YOU QUALIFY for MORE, MORE, MORE of the Holy Spirit. He is waiting, EVEN NOW, for you to ASK FOR MORE!
And every good gift is from our Father who loves us! You might be saying, “Are you sure I can ask for more gifts?” The answer is YES and you can also desire the GREATER GIFTS, otherwise Paul wouldn’t have said, by the Holy Spirit;
Now eagerly desire the greater gifts. – 1 Corinthians 12:31
Therefore, you can receive more of the Holy Spirit who is the Gift and HE will then, in turn, give you more spiritual gifts and power. HE (The Holy Spirit) is the Gift that keeps on giving good gifts! More of Himself and More gifts, as He wills;
All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and HE distributes them to each one, just as he determines. – 1 Corinthians 12:11
Now this is the Radioactive Faith that you need in order to pull on the PROMISES OF GOD. The ULTIMATE PROMISE is God himself, who then in turn continues to bring the Promises! Therefore, the PROMISE fulfills HIS Promises, but the first PROMISE He fulfills is the PROMISE of HIMSELF. That is, HIS PRESENCE in your life! You can have MORE! Ask Him now as He is waiting to POUR HIMSELF OUT UPON YOU AND YOUR LIFE, in Jesus’s Name! Amen.
MORE SALVATION
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how MUCH MORE shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how MUCH MORE, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! – Romans 5:9
This means that JUSTIFICATION and RECONCILIATION was only the START and that God HAS MORE! Notice how it says, “HOW MUCH MORE SHALL WE BE SAVED FROM GOD’S’ WRATH…”. Salvation doesn’t just start and then not finish! No! Absolutely not! Salvation is a COMPLETE WORK, from BEGINNING TO END! CHRIST will save you not just to justify you and reconcile you to let you fail and fall, but HE WILL GIVE YOU MORE GRACE! He will save you MORE. That’s why scripture says,
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. -Hebrews 7:25
Don’t let anyone fool you by telling you that you can lose your salvation! Hogwash! Christ is ABLE TO SAVE YOU COMPLETELY! Either you are going to believe that or not! If they don’t want to believe it, then LET THEM! But don’t let them nullify your faith in the FINISHED work of Christ and THE POWER OF THE CROSS, which will ultimately put your salvation in your works! Salvation is a gift, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST! So, you might be saying, “What shall I do to be saved?” And the answer is the same every time, just believe! Keep on believing! Amen. Believe that CHRIST IS ALWAYS ABLE TO DO MORE in your life and begin EXPECTING IT because HE PROMISED YOU MORE SALVATION AND DELIVERANCE! Amen!
I can feel your faith arising! Don’t stop now, just let it soak in and let’s keep RADIATING our Faith.
MORE THAN ENOUGH GRACE
The law was brought in so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the MORE… – Romans 5:20
Whatever you are dealing with, no matter what the addiction is, if you are in Christ Jesus, then THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH GRACE for that sin! Whatever you are struggling with and no matter how strong it may seem to be getting, I WANT YOU TO KNOW AND TRUST RIGHT NOW, that there is MORE GRACE to free you from that sin! There’s MORE GRACE to cleanse and wash you clean! There’s MORE forgiveness to cleanse your conscience! Sin is no match for God’s grace! In fact, scripture says;
5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that HE JEALOUSLY LONGS for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? 6 But HE GIVES US MORE GRACE. – James 4:5-7
You see, God JEALOUSLY LONGS to be with you! And He will do anything to be with you, INCLUDING GIVE YOU MORE GRACE! HE will climb walls, travel high and low to bring you back into the fold! He desires nothing MORE than to spend time with you! HE WANTS TO give you MORE GRACE over every sin and over every bondage! He will empower you and transform your mind, so that you STAY IN RELATIONSHIP! There is MORE GRACE! Are you ready to ask Him now? Go ahead and ask HIM. HE IS WAITING. HE loves you so much, HE is jealous over you!
Now, I must say before we go on so that you aren’t left disillusioned, that Grace is a funny thing. What’s funny about the Grace of God is that it’s not always the answer we are expecting. There was a season when jail was MORE GRACE for me. There was a season when HANDCUFFS was MORE GRACE for me. There was a season when CORRECTION AND REBUKE was MORE GRACE for me! This for which I am thankful for the FULLNESS of God’s GRACE, HIS PROVISION AND PROMISES OF MORE GRACE! HE has a tool and weapon fit for EVERY WORK! That tool is called, “MORE GRACE!” Amen.
MORE BLESSED
Deuteronomy 7:13-15
13 He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—your grain, new wine and olive oil—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you. 14 You will be blessed MORE THAN any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young. 15 The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt…
Notice how it says, ” HE WILL LOVE YOU and INCREASE YOUR NUMBERS.” HE wants you to have MORE FAMILY, MORE OF HIS LOVE and more BLESSING. HE wants to bless you, “MORE THAN ANY OTHER PEOPLE.” HE wants to see you shine like the stars! He wants HIS children to look and feel good and BE BLESSED; too blessed to be stressed! This is HIS DESIRE for you! He WILL LOVE YOU! Since HE desires to love you MORE, out of that love, HE IS GOING TO SHOW HIS LOVE to you by BLESSING YOU!
And this will manifest IN EVERY area of your life! Don’t believe me? Read the above scripture again. It says, “fruit of your womb, crops of your land, your grain, your oil, your livestock, your family, and even your health!” This means every ASPECT of your life! We should be EXPECTING our children to PROSPER, expecting our finances to PROSPER, and expecting our health to be getting better. Now that you KNOW THIS IS HIS WILL, then START ASKING RIGHT NOW! Lord, BLESS US MORE! Begin EXPECTING the manifestations of all of THESE BLESSINGS to come UPON YOU! HALLELUJAH!
MORE POWERFUL
2 Samuel 5:9-11
9 David then took up residence in the fortress and called it the City of David. He built up the area around it, from the terrace inward. 10 And he became MORE AND MORE powerful, because the Lord God Almighty was with him.
You see, when God is with you, HE CAUSES YOU to become MORE AND MORE POWERFUL. Why? Because this is HIS WILL FOR your life! His will is that you have MORE AUTHORITY, MORE DOMINION, and MORE INFLUENCE! The Lord is looking for those who would FOLLOW by FAITH and then begin EXPECTING HIM to do MORE IN THEIR LIVES. You might be saying, “That sounds selfish.” Not at all! The more influence you have, the MORE LIVES YOU CAN TOUCH! God wants to put you in a place of INFLUENCE, so that you can lead HIS PEOPLE faithfully! Do you want more? Then ask HIM FOR MORE! This is His will, that you be MORE POWERFUL! Amen.
GOD’S ATTITUDE ABOUT MORE
2 Samuel 12:8
I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wives into your arms. I gave you all Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU EVEN MORE.
You can see here that this is the heart and will of God, to GIVE US MORE. HE said, “And if all this had been too little…” Notice how HE let David decide what was too little and what was too much! This is the attitude of God. HIS ATTITUDE is IF YOU think what you have is too little, then HE WILL GIVE YOU MORE!
What do you need to do to receive it? Ask in Faith, believing that this is HIS WILL, this is HIS ATTITUDE, and this is HIS DESIRE! You should have the fullness of faith for MORE by now! The Lord God is setting you up, even right now, to ASK FOR MORE and is giving you MORE FAITH to ask! You see, God has even given you this book to fulfill his scripture;
“We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing MORE AND MORE, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing (MORE AND MORE!).” – 2 Thessalonians 1:3
Not only are you growing in Faith, but also in the LOVE OF GOD! How can you not fall in LOVE WITH A GOD whose ultimate desire is to spend time with you and to shower you with MORE! He’s the best Father and Friend that anyone can have! HE LOVES YOU and can’t wait to see you get MORE! You don’t believe me? Check this out! The Father is like that dad that is so excited about giving you your Christmas gifts. He can’t wait until you open the Christmas gifts on Christmas day, so he tells you what you are getting beforehand! This is our Father! Don’t believe me, then let’s look at this scripture again;
4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” – Acts 1 :4-5
The Father, through Jesus, promised the GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Yet, He was so EXCITED about them receiving it, HE COULDN’T WAIT to surprise them that HE TOLD THEM BEFOREHAND what they were getting! Why else do you think He did this? The answer is clear. Because He wanted THEM TO EXPECT MORE and to have a RADIOACTIVE FAITH that EXPECTS MORE. Ultimately, so that they could receive the MORE PROMISE of their MORE FAITH! God is that good! Not only will He PROMISE YOU A GIFT, but He will BUILD YOUR FAITH to the level it needs to be TO RECEIVE THE GIFT! Hallelujah! He IS EXCITED TO GIVE YOU MORE! Amen. Let’s go on. The Lord God also says;
Matthew 13:12
Whoever has will be given MORE, and they will have an ABUNDANCE. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
You see, there is a principle at work here. It’s the MORE PRINCIPLE! As you keep growing, you will BE GIVEN MORE! That’s why it says, word for word, “Whoever has will be GIVEN MORE.” How much more? Until you have an ABUNDANCE of all that you need! Until you ABOUND unto every good work! Until you are overflowing with all of God’s BLESSING. But especially NOT UNTIL YOU CAN BE SO BLESSED, THAT YOU BECOME A BLESSING! God’s desire for your MORE IS MORE FOR OTHERS TOO! HE wants you to be a conduit FOR MORE of HIM in this life! Let’s continue revealing the attitude of God concerning giving US MORE;
1 Kings 3:12-14
12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.”
The above scripture is about Solomon. Solomon asked God for wisdom to rule the Kingdom. Now let’s look at the response of God to Solomon. God says, “I will do what you have asked. MOREOVER, I will GIVE YOU WHAT YOU HAVE NOT ASKED FOR!” OMG! Both wealth and honor! God’s LOVE AND DESIRE for us is to give us what we ASK HIM FOR, but also WHAT WE DON’T ASK HIM FOR! This is the HEART OF GOD! Do you receive HIS HEART? Isn’t HE AMAZING? If He did it for Solomon, HE WILL AND CAN DO IT FOR YOU! Why? Cause this is HIS WILL, HIS HEART AND HIS ATTITUDE CONCERNING “MORE!” So believe it, accept it, and receive it! In Jesus Name, Amen.
Well you might be saying, I have sinned too much! I have fallen too far! I missed my call! It’s too late! I missed grace! Once again, HOGWASH! Who told you that? That’s not God’s plan for your life! His plans are to prosper you and give you a hope and a future! His desire is to see you GET BACK UP and PROSPER MORE THAN BEFORE! ALWAYS! HE wants you to PROSPER MORE! No matter how far you have fallen, GOD IS ABLE TO MAKE YOU PROSPER MORE THAN BEFORE! Don’t believe me? Good, then just believe God, because he says;
Ezekiel 36:11
I will increase the number of people and animals living on you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and WILL MAKE YOU PROSPER MORE THAN BEFORE. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
“Then you will know I am the Lord!” In other words, you haven’t seen nothing yet! Your latter days SHALL BE MORE GREATER! You don’t even KNOW the Lord until you have seen ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD and God MAKING your mess MORE PROSPEROUS than before you fell! This is that SUPER ABUNDANT GRACE found in JESUS. The bottom line is, that is God;
“…is able to do immeasurably MORE than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,” – Ephesians 3:20
So as you have been asking God for more through this chapter, HE IS THINKING of WHAT YOU HAVEN’T ASKED FOR. HE is looking for ways to BLESS YOU BEYOND what you CAN ASK or IMAGINE! He did it for Solomon and He’ll surely do it for you and yours!
LEGACY OF MORE
In fact, HE WANTS TO LEAVE A LEGACY of MORE in your family and all those you have been assigned to! HE wants your children to be MORE BLESSED than you! HE WANTS them to ACCOMPLISH MORE, HAVE MORE IMPACT, AND TOUCH MORE LIVES than you did. This is HIS WILL and HE WILL DO IT, if you believe it. He will begin CONFESSING IT over your CHILDREN and the lives of everyone around you! Make a decision to begin building their FAITH through your confession and set them up for MORE SUCCESS! Let’s look at scripture;
1 Kings 1:47
Also, the royal officials have come to congratulate our lord King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon’s name MORE famous than yours and his throne MORE GREAT than yours!’ And the king bowed in worship on his bed
You can see here that the royal officials had a MORE attitude, that prayed for MORE, and believed GOD for more in the life of Solomon! Our attitude should be the same, along with that of God’s. That He will make our Children more…(you fill in the blank) than ours! May we serve them and lift them up HIGHER than we could have ever IMAGINED to fly! May God bless our children and even their children MORE. Also, may we leave a LEGACY OF MORE for GENERATIONS TO COME! May this be the ATTITUDE OF OUR FAMILIES foreverMORE! Amen.
MORE ANGELS
2 Kings 6:15-17
15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.
16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are MORE than those who are with them.”
17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
You see, the MORE PRINCIPLE and the MORE ASPECT of the GOSPEL, WILL produce POWER AND FAITH over fear! You see above, Elisha said in verse 16, “Don’t be afraid.” His words are echoing through all the generations that when you serve the ALMIGHTY GOD, the God of the HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, GIVES YOU MORE!
Then Elisha prayed for his servant, that God would, “Open his eyes, so that he may see.” This is my prayer for you and me! That the Lord would open our eyes and give us Grace to receive MORE GRACE and that we would PERCEIVE AND COMPREHEND the POWER AND PROTECTION that is rightfully ours by faith! Ultimately, we have nothing to fear! In fact, there are more angels than demons in the spiritual realm! There are two Good Angels for every 1 Fallen Angel and you can see this in scripture;
“4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.” – Revelation 12:4,9
So you don’t have to focus on more demons and what they are doing, or what evil spirits are doing. JUST KNOW THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU MORE ANGELS to handle those PESKY EVIL SPIRITS and you have MORE THAN ENOUGH TO CONQUER the devil and his host of angels! You not only have MORE ANGELS, but you also HAVE MORE SPIRIT and the Angels serve the Spirit! You can see the Elisha parallel in New Testament scripture when Apostle John said;
“You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” – 1 John 4:4
You see here, and I am going to paraphrase, but the one who is in you is GREATER!, than the devil! In other words, MORE POWERFUL, MORE WITTY, MORE CAPABLE, MORE EVERYTHING! GREATER in every way. The HOLY SPIRIT is MORE than you need TO OVERCOME EVERY OBSTACLE IN YOUR LIFE! You have what you need through HIM AND HIS ANGELS! This is because GOD, through JESUS, has supplied you with MORE THAN ENOUGH and through Him, you are MORE THAN CONQUERORS! This was the faith Paul had when he said;
“No, in all these things we are MORE THAN conquerors through him who loved us.” – Romans 8:37
But once again, notice that you ARE MORE through HIM WHO LOVED US. There is a reason for MORE. It FLOWS from the LOVE AND HEART OF GOD! His MORE PRINCIPLE is a REFLECTION of HIS HEART and the WILL OF HIS HEART towards you!
He LOVES YOU MORE than you can imagine! That’s why He is able and desires TO DO MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!
RESPONSE TO MORE
“As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.” – Psalm 71:14
So what will be our response to all of this? Let us PRAISE YOU MORE AND MORE, LORD!
