BE ENLARGED!
ENLARGEMENT is appointed for you, and if you refuse to grow, you will be swept away! This should not sound scaring for you, because I am talking about something in relation to your income and influence! God wants them to grow because He lives in you. Hey! I am not talking to just anybody here o! As Jesus said, “It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs” (Matthew 15:26). I am talking to those who have not considered it a shame to come to Jesus! Those He says, have been given “the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name” John 1:12.
Here are some scraps I posted on Facebook in relation to this topic, please enjoy the thoughts and let me hear your comments.
ENLARGE YOUR TERRITORIES (PART 1): Is the key to enlarged territories not FAITHFULNESS in stewardship alone? (See Luke 19:26) And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? (Luke 12:42) Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (1 Corinthians 4:2). If your territories are not enlarging, check your accounting first. Maybe you are trying to expand into the territories of Israel by consuming what you should be handing back to the kingdom of God!
A faithful steward
1. Loves his master
2. Works for his master
3. Considers his wealth as his master's property held in trust
4. Gives a full account of the investment he makes for his master
5. Rejoices in taking up more responsibilities from his master
ENLARGE YOUR TERRITORIES (PART 2):
It is no modesty if you are a Christian who keeps all your Good News to yourself. It is to be invested for growth. Talk, sing, shout and jump about Jesus. Do not fear these other people, for I have seen smoke without fire, and a sick dog that roars like a lion! I caught up with FEAR in the night and held him till daybreak only to realize that he is LAZINESS!!! (See Proverbs 22:13)
It is not for nothing that investment capital is also called venture capital. Working for the Lord calls for venturing (RISKING) your life, time and money in preaching the gospel and helping to provide for those who come to Jesus. You may them all..., or will you? In Christ they indeed are guaranteed. Nothing at all can be lost in the service of God: Jesus calls such investment TREASURES IN HEAVEN (Matthew 6:20). So you see throw away your inhibitions and get involved with and for the Lord, full time!
ENLARGE YOUR TERRITORIES (PART 3):
Perhaps it is more in the interest of God that your territories are enlarged. In enlarging the territories of the righteous God grows His kingdom of life. I put it to you, O child of God that if you refuse to have your territories enlarged, you are a stumbling block to the kingdom of God. (See Proverbs 10:16). Because God's seed is in you, He wants you to prosper, for you bear His image. Can you get a better guarantee for all your ventures? None is able to enlarge like God, and no enlargement is useful without Him!
