Growing is living


'And Isaac sowed in that land and received in the same year an hundred fold and the Lord bless him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great." Gen. 26:12-13

growing is living. Are you growing? When a man stops growing he will begin to die. Gen. 1:28
'And God bless them and God said unto them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the foul of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."

Also, the bible tells us that the Lord Jesus 'grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel." Luke 1:80.
Growing is living. Are you growing physically, spiritually and materially? Check this out yourself. Jesus grew in wisdom. Growing is living. If you are to be alive, you must keep growing and getting bigger.

Our God is a God of rapid and steady growth. That was why God told Moses and said: 'Thou shall say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob has sent me unto you, this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." Ex 3:15.

Because God created you to grow, that was why Abraham's servant was happy to describe who his master was that sent him. Listen to him: 'And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herbs, and sliver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants and camels and asses. And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old and unto him hath he given al that he hath." Gen. 24:35-36.
Even when you are old and God on your side, you are bound to grow in all ways. He who has God on his side must grow. He cannot diminish.

'Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundred fold: and the Lord blessed him. 'And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great. 'For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the philistines envied him." Gen 26:12-14. I can perceive in my spirit someone who will be exceedingly great this year. The year 2007 is a covenant year. It is a perfect year; it is a year for the faithful righteous to grow mightily so his enemies will begin to envy him. You can follow that progression. Abraham was great. Isaac was very great, Jacob was exceedingly great. Our God is God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

If this is your God you will be great your children will be greater and your grand children will be exceedingly great.
Growing involves stretching mental, spiritual and physical facilities. You must be focused. When Noah was building the Ark, he was focused. He had no time to mundane things. If you want to grow you must be focused. If you want to grow look for a big God. Our God is the Almighty God. If your goal is small look for some one with a bigger God. Elisha looked for Elijah and got hooked up on him. Find where power is flowing and plug in.

Look for a true bible believing church and hook up to the Almighty God. And you will grow rapidly.
Sow in a fertile land and you will have a hunched fold reward. 'And the Sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.

'Let us go, we pray thee unto Jordan and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered go ye.
And one said b content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered; I will go, so he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood." 2 Kings 6:1-4.
When the Lord God is with thee you are bound to grow. It is my prayer that you dwell in his presence so you can grow in all ways.
