August 22, 2011 ~ A Thousand Times More

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

"May the Lord God of your fathers increase you a thousand times"

Deuteronomy 1:11

TODAY'S WORD:

Can you imagine being a thousand times more blessed than you are? That might seem a little challenging to wrap your mind around. But that's God's dream for you — to increase you, promote you, and pour out His favor upon you.

It doesn't just mean material things — it means a thousand times more joy, a thousand times more peace, and a thousand times more wisdom.

The scripture talks about how you'll live in houses that you didn't build. You'll reap from vineyards that you didn't plant. What does that mean? You may have had people who have gone before you, your ancestors, who prayed and believed, your faithful church members who worked to keep God's house growing and thriving. They sowed so many good seeds, but the fact is they didn't see the increase and the favor that you're seeing today. What happened? They paid the price for you. They stayed faithful and now the Lord God of your fathers is increasing you. He is showing you unusual, extraordinary favor.

Selah people' and friends today, keep your heart and mind open for what God wants to do in your life. He wants to bless you and increase you beyond what you could ever imagine. When you believe His Word, your faith in Him activates His promises. Receive His Word and tap in to the blessing He has for you!

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"God, thank You for Your goodness, grace and mercy upon me. I choose to receive Your Word by faith today, knowing that You have good things in store for me. Thank You for moving on my behalf and leading me into the abundant life You have prepared. In Jesus' Name. Amen."


In Christ service,

Patrick
