Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. – Isaiah 51:2
God is having desire to makes you increase. Our Lord’s desire about you is that you must come to a high level and honor in your profession, business and in your status. You must have patience until then God to lift you. Lord is the one who lifts you. He is the only one who is able to make you honor. He had prepared a table before you in the presence of your enemies. What shall we do to be increase? God has said to look upon Abraham. In Abraham's life, God assured that He would make him prosper. And when Abraham was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. (Genesis 26:12, 13) The command which God gave to Abraham was that when he was truthful He would make him fruitful. In Abraham's life he had no children, In that critical situation, God assured him that He would make him fruitful like the sand of the sea shore and the stars in the sky. According to God's command Abraham was truthful and God had multiplied him. Believing Lord God in all situations is truthful. Adam and Eve did not believe in the word of God, but believe in word of Satan and ate the fruit that Lord Command them not to eat. This shows their untruthfulness and they lost all the blessings. Are you truthful? Job's wife asked Job whether he is still holds fast to his integrity. Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. (Job 2:9).
Satan tried hard to make Job fall to prey. Satan wanted Job to work against God and say blemish against God, So he tried for it. But Job was not against God. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. (Job 1:22, 2:10) Job's wife forced him to come out of his truthfulness and blemish God. When a man blemish God, which means he is not truthful to God. Suppose you can say that you have not blemished God, but you are giving room to others to blemish on behalf of you. Blemish against means, saying against God openly. Murmuring is also a way of blemish. Murmuring means not complaining in public but in our heart It’s blemish again. In Job's life, he did not blemish, even at his critical situation and he showed his faithfulness. Don’t murmur in your circumstance; don't say that God has given this problem. Whatever has happened in your life It’s all for good. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28) In the life of Job, Lord God made him prosper because he is always faithful. So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. He had also seven sons and three daughters. So Job died, being old and full of days. (Job 42:12,13,17). Surely Lord God will make you increase and fruitful
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. – Deuteronomy 7:13
