When God Increases
Isaiah 26:15
You have added to the nation, LORD. You have added to the nation; You are honored. You have expanded all the borders of the land.
God adds to the nation who honors Him by expanding the borders of the land. If a church or ministry really wants to grow, it should begin by honoring God. He will increase what honors Him.
I often see ministries honoring people. If a ministry is built upon a personality, it will eventually fail. If, however, a ministry is built upon the strong foundation of the word of God and gives all the glory to Him, God will add to the number daily those who are being saved. Honoring God will draw others to us, and that is exactly the kind of growth we desire.
May 2023 be a year in which our primary goal is to honor God in all we do. He will increase what honors Him. May God expand our borders so we may spread the gospel and teach others His word. Real growth begins by honoring God with the little we have right now. When He is glorified, He will find ways for that glory to multiply so those who need Him will be drawn to Him.
Have a blessed day!
