God Supplies All of Your Needs - Our Covenant of Increase, Part 3

[Music] [Music] [Music] thank you once again for joining us and let me say how much i appreciate you allowing me this time to impart into your life and to share the uncompromising word of god i know how busy you are and for you to take time out of your busy life out of your busy schedule and allow me the opportunity to share the word of god i'm deeply grateful for that now don't take it lightly and all of you that are partners with this ministry thank you so much for believing in us and thank you for believing in the vision we appreciate it and we pray for you and believe god for supernatural increase in your lives just like we're experiencing here that's the subject we've been dealing with the last couple of weeks our covenant of increase we're going to continue talking about that today and if you have your bibles with you let's open them once again to genesis chapter 12. this is where god introduces himself to the man abram later changes his name to abraham even though we've read this over the last couple of weeks i want you to see it again god says to him in verse 2 i will make of thee a great nation and i will bless thee now once again the word blessed means to empower to prosper to empower to succeed to empower to multiply and to empower to increase so when god says i will make a covenant with you and through this covenant i will bless you then what he's saying is i'm going to empower you to prosper to succeed to multiply and to increase now what i want you to understand is this increase was to cover every area of his life not just increase in descendants but to increase financially and materially in fact in genesis chapter 13 and in verse 2 even though we've read this before i want you to see it again it says in abram was very rich in cattle in silver and in gold so notice immediately this covenant of increase is working in this man's life he began to increase in every area including financially silver and gold praise god now in deuteronomy chapter 8 beginning in verse 6 all the way down through verse 18 god is saying through moses moses is saying to the people what god wanted him to tell them and god says through moses and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied and notice once again even though i've mentioned this before it says and when this happens not if it happens get if it happens out of your thinking it's not if it happens it's when it happens in the mind of god if you're obedient to him then it's just a matter of time and you're going to start seeing increase now what have i said over the last two weeks if you are not increasing that is a violation of your covenant because your covenant is a covenant of increase god has no problem how much you increase just as long as you give him all the credit for it deuteronomy chapter 8 and verse 18 says but thou shalt remember the lord thy god for it is he that giveth thee the power to get wealth or you could say it is god who gives you the power to increase so when you're increasing when this covenant is working in your behalf not if it works but when it works when it's working in your behalf and you start seeing increase immediately acknowledge that it's because of god don't go around saying look what i've done no it's not you it's the god you serve and don't ever say i'm a self-made man no you're not if it wasn't for god you wouldn't even have a brain so let's remember it is god who is our source god's behind the wealth god's behind the increase god is in the business of multiplying adding and in bringing us more and more and all he says we have to do is be obedient to his word and give him all the credit for it and the cycle is unending in fact in psalm 115 and verse 14 it says the lord shall increase you more and more you and your children why because you're blessed of the lord and what is the blessing it's the result of the covenant and he says because of your covenant of increase the blessing of god is on your life and that blessing will position you to experience more and more don't be afraid of more and more and don't ever be ashamed of the blessing of god you know a lot of people have a problem with it a lot of people have a problem with you increasing a lot of people have a problem with you uh experiencing more and more but just remember god's the one who brought it god's the one who came up with the uh the possibility of it happening in your life god's the one who ordained it so if god's the one who ordained it and god's making it happen in your life don't be ashamed of it in fact give him all the credit for it somebody says i don't think a christian ought to be driving a car like that just say well you know the lord gave me this car the lord made provision for it and i'm sorry you don't you know you have a problem with it but god bless me with it and i'm going to give him all the glory for it praise god you know some people have a problem with preachers owning airplanes well you just don't do what we do if you did what we did follow me around you'd understand why i need an airplane but the fact that somebody has a problem with it i'm not going to hide it i'm going to say the lord blessed me with that airplane and he did and i'm going to give him all the glory for it praise god and i'm going to use it to further the kingdom i'm going to use it to make him known in the earth make him famous in the earth praise god so i'll never be ashamed of the increase that god brings in my life i'll always give him credit for it now psalm 115 and verse 14 once again the lord shall increase you more and more the r k harrison translation of hebrew into current english says it this way may the lord give you continual prosperity wow i like the sound of that may the lord give you continual prosperity what does continual mean it means uninterrupted it means that it just never stops continual prosperity you know i think that's better than having a financial miracle every six months you know financial miracles are wonderful but wouldn't it be better to just live in continual prosperity uninterrupted prosperity that's what this says may the lord give you continual prosperity what this says to me is the lord wants to bring increase into your life until you get to the place where you're experiencing continual uninterrupted prosperity now what a way to live i'm not saying you know i know a whole lot of people that are there but this says that it is available so set it as your goal god you've given me this covenant it's a covenant of increase and your greatest desire is that i live in continual prosperity even though i'm not there right now i'm believing for that and i'm going to find out from your word how to get there and i'm not giving up until i do that's the attitude you have now here's one of the ways you get there in ii chronicles chapter 26 this is the story of a young king his name was uzziah and he became king over judah when he was only 16 years old and notice what it says about this man second chronicles chapter 16 uh 26 rather and verse 4. now remember he's only 16 years old when he became king and it says and he did that which was right in the sight of the lord you know that could be a key doing right in the sight of the lord it says and he did that which was right in the sight of the lord according to all that his father a messiah did then verse 5 says and listen to this very closely and he sought god in the days of zechariah who had understanding in the visions of god now listen to this and as long as he sought the lord god made him to prosper as long as he sought the lord god made him to prosper so it sounds like to me we've just discovered two important keys to continual prosperity to increasing more and more what are they number one doing that which is right in the sight of the lord you know a lot of people have the idea they can just live any way they want to live they can just live any lifestyle they choose and god will just bless them in spite of it folks that is not true you're not going to just live any way you want to live and expect god to bless you you know you you can't continue to lie and cheat and and deceive and fraud you know that's not going to work uh you can't continue to live in sin and and and adultery and and and and fornication and and and perversional sin i'm sorry uh perverted sin perverted sin all of it's perverted uh perverted sex you know and all this kind of stuff and expect god to keep blessing you you're not going to operate in unforgiveness and strife and be immoral and expect god to bless you the bible says that as long as this man did that which was right in the sight of the lord and as long as he sought god what does that mean he kept god first place in his life he he continually sought the lord in other words he was on a continual quest for more of god and as long as he remained on this continual quest for more of god then the bible says god made him to prosper now isn't that what you want wouldn't you love that to be your testimony that god just continually makes you prosper that you live in continual prosperity then if that's what you want then i'd make sure that i am adhering to these two important keys doing that which is right in the sight of the lord you know i believe this one the reason why so many preachers today are not living blessed lives uh so many preachers are are constantly having to beg and plead and come up with gimmicks and and con people out of their money is because they're not doing that which is right in the sight of the lord i made a promise to god i made a promise to my wife i made a promise to my children and i made a promise to my partners that i would keep my life pure and i would keep this ministry pure and that's what we've endeavored to do for 47 years do you think that might be the reason why i never have to beg i never have to plead i never have to con people out of money i never have to manipulate people god takes care of us god supplies all of our needs and i think one of the reasons why is because i have endeavored to do that which is right in the sight of the lord now you know i'm sorry to say this but that is that is just not the attitude of a lot of preachers today you know in fact uh this is pretty sad but when people invite me to come and preach you know uh it's almost to the point where we have to do a background check to find out if it's the kind of church i want to go to because if they're loose in their morals i'm not going there because my being there is an endorsement to that you know and and a lot of preachers today you know they've gone into this drinking wine and and you know and compromising in other areas and i'm just not going to do that and you know what i get labeled oh fashion well i'll just stay old-fashioned thank you because what i'm doing is working i am endeavoring to do that which is right in the sight of the lord and i encourage you to do that as well make that a a an important priority in your life that you're going to do that which is right in the sight of the lord and as long as you do that god's going to make you to prosper and then once again it says and as long as he sought the lord god made him to prosper now you know i wish i could tell you that's the end of that story that's the end of the story for usaid but it's not because later on in his life as god continued to bless him as god continued to prosper him as god continued to bring increase into his life then pride came in and uzziah began to look at everything around him and say look what i've done he stopped giving god the credit for it and when that began to happen when he got the big head and he got prideful then the prosperity stopped and the end of his story is not quite as nice as the beginning of his story what happened he failed to do what deuteronomy 8 18 said what did it say that when all these things begin to happen remember the lord thy god for it is he that giveth thee the power to get wealth and to increase uzziah stop doing that and as a result of it the end of his life is not nearly as pretty as the beginning of his life so don't ever stop giving god the credit for your increase don't ever stop giving god the credit for your prosperity always acknowledge him as your source of supply listen i still believe and i still say it quite often and i tell preachers whenever i do ministers conferences i will be the first one to tell you that without him i am nothing but thank god i got him and thank god i'm going to keep doing what he tells me to do and as a result of it i believe he will keep doing what he promised he would do and that is he would cause me to prosper and excuse me on that amen so once again if you want this continual prosperity if you want to increase more and more then do that which is right in the sight of the lord and don't ever stop pursuing god always stay on a continual quest for more and more of him uh in psalm 19 verses 7 down through 11 it talks about the commandments of god the precepts of god the teachings of god and it says in keeping of them there is great reward in keeping god's word and being obedient to his word there is great reward the moffat translation says in following them god's word god's teachings and following them there is rich prophet it's profitable to be obedient to the word of god in hebrews 11 6 god says that he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him remember what it said about you as long as he sought the lord god made him to prosper and here in the book of hebrews it says that if you will diligently seek him that's the same thing as as long as he sought the lord then there is great reward god rewards those who diligently seek him he will continually bring increase in your life more and more and then proverbs 28 and verse 20 says that a faithful man shall abound with blessings faithfulness is a result of being diligent it's that continual pursuit it's that never giving up never turning back it's it's that continual uh seeking after god and never giving up no matter what's happening around you and the bible says as a result of it your faithfulness will position you to abound in the blessings of god and then proverbs chapter 10 and verse 22 says the blessing of the lord it maketh rich when the blessing of god is on your life then it will bring more and more increase and then proverbs chapter 10 and verse 6 the amplified bible says blessings are on the head of the uncompromisingly righteous that's faithfulness and if your attitude is i'm not going to compromise the word i'm not going to give up i'm not going to follow the world sometime and follow god the other time i'm going to stick with god all the way i'm going to be faithful to his his his word faithful to his teachings faithful to his instructions then the bible says blessings will be upon your life so if you want to increase more and more and remember you're entitled to it because you have a covenant with almighty god so you know my attitude is if i'm entitled to this then why not benefit from it why not draw from it you know i also have this attitude if god didn't intend for this to happen in my life he shouldn't have put it in my copy of the bible because once i find it then i'm going for it and i'm not giving up until it comes to pass so once again your covenant is a covenant of increase god expects you to increase he wants you to increase all you've got to do is be obedient to his word so two important principles that i've laid out for you today are these number one do that which is right in the sight of the lord ask yourself right now is my behavior is my conduct conducive to what the word of god says maybe you need to make some adjustments maybe you need to make some corrections do it and do it now don't hesitate another day because all you're doing is delaying the increase and the prosperity that god wants to bring into your life so ask yourself am i doing what is right in the sight of the lord and then number two never stop pursuing god as long as you seek the lord god will make you to prosper and then the third thing i want to leave you before we close today is this let go i wrote in my notes let go of all the negative circumstances that have been keeping you from experiencing increase that means you know even the things that other people have said about you maybe you came from a family that didn't know these things and maybe they've said things like uh you'll never be rich you'll never have anything your family's poor your granddaddy was poor your great-granddaddy was poor you'll never have anything no you're gonna have to break loose from all of that because it's holding you back and preventing you from experiencing the kind of increase that god wants you to have you know there's a story in the bible it's found in first chronicles chapter 4 verses 9 and 10. and i'm reading from the amplified bible and it's about a man by the name of jabez and it says jabez was honorable above all his brothers but his mother named him jabez which means sorrow maker and she said that she named him this because when she bore him she bore him in pain now just think about that his his mother bore him in pain so when he was born she looked at him she says i'm naming you sorrow maker and that stuck with him i mean you know every time somebody said hey jabez what he heard was hey sorrow maker every time his mother said jabez time to come to eat and he heard come on sorrow maker every time one of his friends said hey let's go out and play today all he heard was come on sorrow maker and every time somebody said hey jabez what's your name and making fun of him what they were saying is hey troublemaker or sorrow maker uh uh you know your name is sorrow maker and he went with that for a long time but then he prayed and he asked god he said that oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border and that your hand might be with me and you would keep me from evil so that it might not hurt me and god granted his request what happened jabez is saying god allow me to break away from my past allow me to break away from the negative circumstances maybe that's what you need to do right now if you want to experience increase more and more and the prosperity that god wants you to have ask god to help you to break away from the past break away from the negative circumstances my time is up it's an important announcement i want you to watch right
