Daily Devotional – 9/16/15 “Increase Declaration!”

I’m starting a new job on today with the same company. I don’t call it starting a new job, I’m calling it starting a new assignment because I know that it’s God sending me somewhere new for something greater. Am I nervous? Yes but I’m also excited and I know that I have some great expectations to fill but I’m walking into this assignment ready. I’m walking in with my head held high because I got some unshakeable faith that God got me! Yea, I got some big shoes to fill but baby, I’m going in like I wear a size 13 shoe when I know good and well my size is an 8 but guess what … My favor will cover the rest!

And it’s the same for you. I declared on yesterday an increase in my life but not only for me but for everybody associated with me (that’s you). However, the only way you can get the increase, you’ve got to believe it. Yea, I know you checked the refrigerator and it’s still low, your checking account is still negative, your medicine bottle is still empty and you’re still in pain, your family is still chaotic, you’re still without a job, the enemy is still camped around your ministry and it seems like God isn’t answering your prayer but baby get your faith up! If every time the storm comes, your faith dwindles, there’s a problem. You need to get your faith up! I said I declared a increase on yesterday, I didn’t say I received it yet but I got my faith up and I’m expecting it! What are you expecting? Get out of your pity! I know it’s easier to stay there but get up. Get out of where you’re comfortable because I’ve found that’s where God can use you! I’ve declared an increase and I’m expecting it for me and for you. I want mine, what about you?
