Progressive Financial Increase

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Progressive increase is a function of progressive processes, Isaac planted seed, reaped a hundredfold and God blessed him and he began to prosper, continued prospering until he became very prosperous – he had great number of flocks, herds and servants. Please, see Genesis Chapters 26 verses 12 to 14; 8 verse 22 and Psalm 85 verse 12.

Progressive increase is not a one off activity but a series of progressive processes that birth increases that add up, multiply and compound into progressive increases. God works in diverse and mysterious ways. One of such ways is through progressive processes – the creation of the universe and everything in it was a series of progressive processes. All power belongs to God and it is possible for Him to create everything in an instant yet He chose progressive processes. There must be very significant reasons for doing so. Please see Genesis Chapter 1. Also, the building of Noah’s ark was a series of progressive processes (Genesis Chapter 6). So also was the filling of the ark with living things. Even the flood that destroyed the earth was not instantaneous. It was a series of progressive activities – the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep, the opening up of the windows of heaven and the rain that fell for forty days and forty nights. In like manner the drying up of the earth and reconstruction was also a series of progressive activities. Please see Genesis Chapters 7, 8 and 9. Even the release of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery and bondage was a series of progressive activities that cowed Pharaoh into releasing the Israelites to leave Egypt. The journey through the wilderness to the Promised Land was yet another series of progressive activities.

Progressive increase therefore does not happen in an instant. God promised Abraham descendants as numerous as the sand of the sea. This did not happen in an instant. Over a period of time, the descendants came through Isaac, the child of promise.

Financial increase, fame and power came to Joseph, a descendant of Abraham through a series of progressive activities and events that appeared to be huge obstacles in his path. Eventually, Joseph emerged a global leader, a governor of great wealth and a father of two nations within the nation of Israel.

Organize Your Life to Wealth

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Organize the pieces of your life together to get the whole God is creating, that whole that is filled with the glory of God. The organization should align with specificity of purpose to enable you focus on divine direction, have clarity to facilitate divinely backed implementation and achievement. Beloved, God is making something beautiful, outstanding, significant, relevant and honorable with your life. Do not give up or give in for you shall be called sought out, a desirable place. You are the City of God’s Delight. To be sought out refers to a place or person or something where people seek because there is something of value in it. The value in this case is the glory of God bestowed on you by God. What is glory? The dictionary refers to glory as praise and worship of God, fame, praise or honor given to somebody because they have achieved something important. It also refers to great beauty, special cause for pride, respect or pleasure. In the book of Haggai Chapter 2 verse 7, it refers to splendor.

God is taking you somewhere big and higher than anything you can ever imagine. It is the place of global recognition and visibility as well as financial Abundance - Isaiah Chapter 54 verses 1 to 5, Job Chapter 8 verse 7.  He is taking you to a land of prosperity, increase, expansion and fruitfulness. Please see Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verses 1 to 14. The promises in this Scripture are against the backdrop of the ones in Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verses 1 to 18, take note of verses and 7 to 9, For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass; and Deuteronomy Chapter 11 verses 8 to 13. A land that God Himself watches over at all times, waters at the right season and ensures a great harvest. See Psalm Chapter 65 verses 9 to 13, Psalms Chapters 1 and 23, Malachi Chapter 3 verses 10 to 12 and Leviticus Chapter 26 verse 5.

There is therefore no need to rush. All you need do is go at His pace, do things the way He would have you do them and trust Him to meet all the seeming pressing needs that bother you. The prophet Elisha gave this instruction to the widow of the indebted prophet “Go (move, act) sell the oil, pay your debts and live on rest”. She was advised by the prophet Elisha to solve the financial crisis first and then manage what she had left so that she would not go into debt again. Always go at the pace of the Holy Spirit for that is when you get it right. Never allow yourself to be stampeded by any one or circumstances. Haste often produces wrong decisions, actions and counsel.

Therefore work with available resources to move from point A to B even if your present available resources  include the Word of God, prayers, faith, prophetic utterances, what you may consider of little value but is indeed of great value. The woman had what she thought and referred to as only a jar of oil. She had no inkling of the economic value and that it could be all she required to get out of debt.
