Resurrection Day 277: Multiplication

The blessing of God multiplies.

Today I encourage you to position your heart to receive that blessing.  While it is God’s desire to bless us, we often make it difficult for Him to do so…whether it’s our disobedience or our unwillingness to receive His goodness…we often strong arm the blessing away.

Today, stand ready to receive. 

Yes, think about Abraham, your ancestor, and Sarah, who gave birth to your nation.  Abraham was only one man when I called him.  But when I blessed him, he became a great nation.  Isaiah 51:2

What part of your life is God desiring to multiply with His blessing?

What part of your heart can you feel Him tugging?

I feel that in this hour God desires to multiply our understanding.  Our wisdom and knowledge and understanding.

We know so much these days.  Information has become warfare.  Knowledge without wisdom and understanding can be dangerous.

I feel strongly that God desires to give us the proper combination…knowledge, wisdom and understanding.  Once He’s multiplied our understanding then we can truly begin to make an impact upon the world.

We should all crave understanding.  It’s paramount.  A precious gift.

I’ve noticed that you can often pick out those who have spent a lot of time with Jesus.  They seem to carry an understanding that is deeper than most.  It’s the multiplication of God on their life.  It reminds me of this verse…

Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools, they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.  Acts 4:13

I really want to be like Peter and John in this regard, don’t you?

The real way to walk in the blessing, anointing, and multiplication of God is to sit with Him.  Be in His presence regularly.  Dedicate your life to pursuing Him…in the good times and the hard times.  Pursue Him earnestly even when all things seem to be going well.

He is our God.  The only One truly worthy of pursuing.

We don’t pursue Him simply for the reward, but the reward is the fruit.  Pursue Him out of love…and let the other things come.

Stand at the ready…to receive. 

Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.  For His sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ and become one with Him.  Philippians 3:8-9a
