Day 3 - Spiritual and Natural Blessings

JOB 8:7 - Though your beginning was small yet your latter end should GREATLY INCREASE.

DEUTERONOMY 6:3 - Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that you may INCREASE MIGHTILY, as the Lord God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.

PSALM 115:12-16 - The Lord has been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron. 13 He will bless those who fear the Lord, both small and

great. 14 The Lord shall INCREASE YOU MORE AND MORE, you and your children. 15 May you be blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.

Do you remember the account in Exodus 12 about the children of Israel when God delivered them from slavery and brought them out of Egypt? This natural exodus of the

Israelites was a type of Christians being delivered out of spiritual darkness and sinful life style. When a person is translated from darkness into the marvelous light of God’s Kingdom (Col. 1:13), he or she enters into spiritual abundance. But in addition to giving the children of Israel spiritual blessings, God also gave them natural blessings to establish His plan and Word. The Israelites left Egypt with money in their pockets and strength in their bodies. In fact, the Bible says that not one person among the whole group was weak or sick!

PSALM 105:37 - He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

The bottom line is this: If we keep His Word, we are putting ourselves in a position to greatly increase, to increase mightily, and to increase more and more both spiritually and

naturally for the sake of others!

Pray this: Father, help m to go forward with strength and honor for you. I really want to increase for your sakes, for my family and for our church.
