My dear friend, today we have a special promise for you from Deuteronomy 1:11, which says, “May the Lord, the God of your ancestors, increase you a thousand times.” We all desire to be blessed and to see an increase in our lives, don’t we? Today, God promises to increase you a thousand times! But how can we receive this divine increase?

Firstly, by ‘Seeking God First’. The first step to receiving God’s increase is by having a relationship with Him and submitting our plans to His will. As Matthew 6:33 declares, “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Yes, God blesses us with many gifts, treasures, and material blessings, but He wants our hearts to be focused on Him first and not the blessings. He is the giver of all good things! Today, start by asking God to fill you with Himself first. As you grow in your relationship with Him, He will provide everything you need.

Secondly, by ‘Obeying God's Commands’. God’s blessings are for those who listen and obey Him. Deuteronomy 28:1 says, “If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all His commands, He will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.” Yes, obedience is not always easy. It may seem difficult to follow God's ways instead of our own desires, but His plans are far greater than ours. When we obey Him completely, He pours out His highest blessings upon us.

Thirdly, by ‘Giving’. Another key to increase is giving. You may think, “I have very little. If I give, I will have nothing left.” But Jesus said in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap.” God does not measure how much you give. He sees the heart behind your giving. Whether it’s a small offering, your time, talents, or skills, when you give with a joyful heart, God multiplies it and makes you a blessing to others.

Why Does God Want to Increase You? You may wonder, “How does my blessing bring glory to God?” When God increases you in every area of life, His power, wisdom, and goodness are revealed through you. Your success is a testimony to others! Your business will bless many. Your career will inspire others. Your family’s blessings will impact future generations. Your wealth will provide for those in need. When you prosper and share with others, you bring hope and shine God's light in the world. Your increase is not just for you. It will bless your generations to come. My friend, God wants to bless and increase you a thousand times! Today, make a commitment to seek Him first, obey His commands and Give with a joyful heart When you do this, your life will overflow with blessings, and you will glorify God through your increase!

PRAYER: 
Dear Lord, I thank You for Your promise that You will bless me and increase me a thousand times. I come before You today, seeking a deeper relationship with You. Help me to spend time in Your presence daily, to read Your Word, and to walk in Your will. Teach me to obey Your commands wholeheartedly and to live a life that honours You. Fill my heart with generosity so that I will give to others, serve people, and build Your kingdom with joy. Lord, as You bless me, let my blessings overflow to those around me. Let my family, my children, and the generations to come be covered in Your favour and love. Thank You, Lord, for multiplying Your goodness in my life and for making me a vessel of blessing. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
