Isaiah 9:7 - "Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end......"

How important is increase to God? Jesus once cursed a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season (Mark 11:13-14)! A man in one of His parables was cast into outer darkness for burying his money and not obtaining an increase for his master (Matthew 25:24-30).

When the main goal of our faith is keeping us safe from the devil, our faith becomes inferior to what God expects. Jesus had in mind more for us than survival. WE ARE DESTINES TO BEAR FRUIT FOR THE KINGDOM (John 15:8).

Every conversion plunders hell. Every miracle destroys the works of the devil. Every God encounter is an Invasion of the Almighty into our desperate condition. This is our joy.

Affirmations:

I FORGET THE PAST AND REACH FOR THOSE THINGS WHICH GOD HAS CALLED ME.

I PRESS TOWARD THE MARK FOR THE PRIZE OF THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS.

Philippians 3:7,8 - "But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatnesss of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ."

Paul considered everything prized by his culture worthless compared with the awesome experience of knowing Jesus.

Affirmations:

MY TREASURE IS IN JESUS.

JESUS CALLS ME TO A HIGHER LOVE, TO EMBRACE THE BURNING AND PASSIONATE HEART OF GOD.

I RECEIVE THE LOVE OF JESUS IN MY HEART AND I DISCIPLE IT INTO THE LIVES OF OTHERS.
