"Sing, O barren,
You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, You who have
not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate Than the
children of the married woman," says the Lord. 2 "Enlarge the place of
your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not
spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. 3 For you shall expand
to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations,
And make the desolate cities inhabited. 4 "Do not fear, for you will not
be ashamed; Neither be disgraced, for you will not be put to shame; For you
will forget the shame of your youth, And will not remember the reproach of your
widowhood anymore. 5 For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His
name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the
whole earth. 6 For the Lord has called you Like a woman forsaken and grieved in
spirit, Like a youthful wife when you were refused," Says your God. Isaiah
Chapter 54 verses 1 to 6.
Lift up your eyes, open your eyes and look beyond where you
are; your present location and circumstances to the divine possibilities,
opportunities which God has blessed you with. They are all yours. Therefore, do
not spare, do not hold back on resources required for the expansion. Stretch
out as far as you can see. Please read Genesis Chapter 13 verses 14 to 18.
Access and use plenty of resources for you are expanding to take over whole
nations as well as resettle abandoned cities. Access resources, plenty of them,
as much as you can get from everywhere. The
widow of the indebted prophet was instructed to borrow many vessels from
everywhere and as she obeyed the divine instructions, her seemingly limited oil
filled several vessels which were sold to pay off the family debt. Their family
history of indebtedness was rewritten as they were no longer debtors. They had
paid off their debts and had more than enough to live on for the rest of their
lives. That can also be your testimony if you lift up your eyes to see the divine
possibilities God has placed before you. Please read 2nd Kings
Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7.
Do not be like the King of Israel who struck only thrice. 2nd
Kings Chapter 13 verses 14 to 19. Strike as many times as God gives you
opportunity.
God does not waste His resources. As you utilize whatever
resources you are divinely endowed with profitably, He adds more to you. The
parable of the talents is explicit enough. To an extent you determine the speed
at which God increases you by the way you use His resources given to you to
bless humanity.
Ask for help and
assistance from people around you and even those outside your vicinity even if
it means collecting their waste which you will turn to wealth. Do not limit
yourself to asking from only your loved ones and family members. Extend the
reach to neighbours and about everyone you can talk to.
Advertise your need far
and wide. Enlarge, expand, stretch out deploying online and offline platforms. Do
not limit yourself to only family members, friends, Church members and
neighbors. Spread out to everyone. You never can tell who God has arranged with
to meet your needs.
