Daniel 9:27 And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.”

Isaiah 60:1-3 1Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.

Daniel 12:10 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. Daniel speaks of the time of the end

Isaiah 60:22 22 A little one shall become a thousand, And a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time.”

We live in an ever increasing World Daniel 12:4 4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Increase Abomination (Daniel 9:27) Righteous and Wicked (Is 60:1-2; Dan 12:10) Knowledge (Daniel 12:4)

Increase Spiritual Gifts Daniel 1:17-20 Wisdom, Stature and Favour (Luke 3:52; Prov 3:1-4; 1 Sam 2:26) God’s Government (Isaiah 9:7) Harvest of Souls (Isaiah 2:2-3; Micah 4:1-4) Finance (Malachi 3:10; Deut 8:18; Gen 26:12)

1. Increase Comes From The Lord It comes from above It is not the work of the flesh We must not remove the element of sowing and watering We must not compare and compete but complement

2.God Can Only Increase What We Already Have Multiplication: 0 X 1000 000 = ? But if we have as little as one, it increases when multiplied Pick up seeds (Seed of the Word) God’s Original Intention was always to multiply His Image and Likeness

Isaiah 55:8-11 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. 9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. 10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,

11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Genesis 1:26-28 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Genesis 22:17-18 17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.”

Ephesian 5:31-32 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

Matthew 6:33 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Ultimately, When We seek Him, we have all we need When God is our Shepherd, we shall not want

3. Be Faithful With What Another Man’s Luke 16:12-13 Gal 4:1-2 Don’t allow familiarity rob us Attitude of Receiving When you think you may not receive Learn what to do and what not to do

Conclusion This is right now a fresh revelation of God’s love for His people Increase of Intimacy This is the desire of Jesus (John 17:26) Seek the God of Increase and not the increase 2019 A year of Increase
