Living a life of increase
---------------------------
Recently, I've been listening to the BVOV (Believer's Voice if Victory) from
KCM (Kenneth Copeland Ministries). This was the series with him and Jerry Savelle talking about living a life of increase.
They talked about how God is for increase for his people. And a few points to note to see increase in our lives. Just wanna share with whoever is reading my blog. :P
1. Keeping a convenant with God - reference Deuteronomy 6:3
"Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. "
2. Walking in obedience with God - reference Job 36:11
"If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures"
3. Putting God's word 1st place in our lives - reference Psalms 1:3
"And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. "
4. Hard work and diligent - Proverbs 13:4, 13:11
"4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat."
"11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. "
5. Sowing - Genesis 8:22
"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
6. Increase by association - Proverbs 13:20
"He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed."

These are just my personal notes from their broadcast, I've been listening to them, been blessed by them, but always forgets after I listened to them, so I thought it might be a good idea to blog them down! ^_^
Anyone who is interested can go to
www.kcm.org and listen or watch BVOV. I think the greatest thing I've learnt from them is about seedtime and harvest, about sowing.
Kenneth Copeland once said, my income is determined by my sowing and not my salary! heehee...and last sunday, Pastor prayed for increase and I received and I believe increase is coming my way!
And I've also learnt that sowing a seed is not just about giving money. It can be prayer time, be a service to church, generally just be a blessing to someone.
