God Expects Growth and Multiplication

 

God Expects Growth and Multiplication

📖 Key Verse: Matthew 25:16-17 – "The one who had received five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five more talents. Likewise, the one with two talents made two more."

1. God's Principle of Growth

  • From Genesis to Revelation, God’s design is growth, increase, and fruitfulness.
  • Everything God creates is meant to multiply—whether it's resources, skills, knowledge, or businesses.

🔹 Example: In Genesis 1:28, God blessed Adam and Eve, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply.” This applies not only to people but also to our work and productivity.

2. The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)

  • The master gave 5, 2, and 1 talent (a large sum of money) to three servants.
  • The first two servants doubled their talents through wise business.
  • The third servant buried his talent and was rebuked for laziness.
  • Lesson: God expects us to grow, invest, and multiply what He has given us, not waste it.

3. Biblical Examples of Growth and Multiplication

🔹 Joseph in Egypt (Genesis 41:39-57)

  • Joseph multiplied Egypt’s grain reserves during times of plenty.
  • Because of his wisdom, Egypt prospered, and people survived the famine.
  • Lesson: Smart planning and wise management lead to growth and provision.

🔹 The Widow’s Oil (2 Kings 4:1-7)

  • A widow was in debt and had only a small jar of oil.
  • The prophet Elisha told her to pour the oil into borrowed jars.
  • The oil kept multiplying until she had enough to sell and pay off her debts.
  • Lesson: Faith and obedience lead to miraculous multiplication.

🔹 Jesus Feeding the 5,000 (John 6:5-13)

  • Jesus multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed thousands.
  • Lesson: Whatever you give to God, He blesses and multiplies.

4. Why Growth and Multiplication Matter in Business

🔹 Growth Brings Responsibility (Matthew 25:21) – "You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things."
🔹 Multiplication Helps Others (Proverbs 11:25) – "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."
🔹 God Blesses Diligence (Proverbs 10:4) – "Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth."

5. Practical Ways to Multiply What God Gives You

✔ Develop Your Skills – Invest in learning and growth.
✔ Work with Excellence – Do everything as if for the Lord (Colossians 3:23).
✔ Take Calculated Risks – Fear should not stop you from stepping out in faith.
✔ Use Your Wealth Wisely – Invest, save, and give.
✔ Help Others Grow – Train and mentor others.

Conclusion

  • God expects growth and multiplication, not stagnation.
  • Faithfulness in small things leads to greater blessings.
  • Final Question: Are you multiplying what God has given you, or are you burying it?

The Power of Vision

Image
The Power of Vision Proverbs 29:18 — “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (KJV) Other translations: NIV: “Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint.” ESV: “Where there is no prophetic vision, the people are unrestrained.” Introduction Every successful person, family, church, ministry, or nation rises on the foundation of vision . Vision is more than a dream or personal ambition. It is God’s revealed direction and purpose for our lives. When people do not have God-given vision, they become confused, divided, and spiritually weak. Today many are busy but not purposeful , active but not effective . Activity without vision leads to frustration; but vision brings direction, unity, and life . 1. What Is Vision? Vision is: Seeing the future through God’s eyes God’s revelation, guidance, and direction A clear picture of God’s purpose for our life, family, church, ministry, and calling Vision answers: Who am I? Why am I here? Whe...

As for Me and My House

Image
"As for Me and My House" Opening Scripture: "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." — Joshua 24:15 Introduction: Today is Family Sunday , and it reminds us that families are not just an important part of society — they are a beautiful design of God Himself. From the beginning, God made the family to reflect His love, His leadership, and His covenant. Joshua, the great leader of Israel, makes a powerful declaration: No matter what the world around him chooses, his family would serve the Lord . Main Points: 1. Faith Begins at Home Joshua didn’t say, "As for me, I will serve the Lord," alone. He said, "As for me and my house ," including his entire household. Faith is not just something we practice on Sundays — it must be lived out in our homes daily. Parents, grandparents, children — all of us are called to build homes where Christ is the foundation. 2. Families Must Make a Choice Joshua challenged the people:...

Start with What You Have, Not What You Lack

Image
Start with What You Have, Not What You Lack 📖 Scripture Reference: 2 Kings 4:1-7 – The Widow’s Oil Introduction Life often presents us with challenges—financial struggles, business failures, or personal hardships. In such moments, it is easy to focus on what we don’t have rather than recognizing the potential in what we already have . In 2 Kings 4:1-7 , we see a powerful lesson from the story of a widow who was on the verge of losing everything. Yet, God performed a miracle when she took a step of faith with the little she had. This story teaches us that God can multiply even the smallest resources when we trust Him. 1. Acknowledge the Problem, but Seek God First 📖 2 Kings 4:1 – “A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, ‘Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.’” The widow was in a desperate situation—her husband had died, s...

Fix the Foundation Before Favor Comes

Image
Fix the Foundation Before Favor Comes Key Declaration: God never enlarges what is built on a weak and cracked foundation. 1. Opening: Standing Between Two Years Tonight, we are standing at a spiritual crossroads . One year is ending Another year is about to begin What we carry forward will determine what we experience next This is not just a change of calendar This is a moment of transition “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” — Isaiah 43:18 But before God says “move forward” , He first says “check the foundation.” 2. Prophetic Insight: 2026 — The Year of the Lord’s Favor I believe with all my heart: 👉 2026 will be a year of the Lord’s favor Favor means: Enlargement Open doors Acceleration Increase Divine help without human struggle “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.” — Psalm 5:12 But hear this truth clearly: Favor is weight. Favor is responsibility. Favor is pressure. And God never releases favor on a weak f...

Prophetic Worship Brings Personal and Material blessing

Yes! Prophetic worship not only brings spiritual transformation but can also release personal and material blessings. Here’s how: 1. Opens Doors for Divine Provision When we worship prophetically, we declare God’s abundance over our lives. Example: In 2 Chronicles 20:25 , after Jehoshaphat’s army worshiped, they collected vast riches from their defeated enemies. 2. Attracts Favor and Opportunities Worship aligns our hearts with God’s will, positioning us for unexpected blessings. Example: Joseph remained faithful in God’s presence, and he was elevated to rulership ( Genesis 41:39-41 ). 3. Breaks the Spirit of Lack Prophetic worship shifts our mindset from scarcity to faith in God's provision. Example: The widow of Zarephath experienced miraculous provision of oil and flour after responding to the prophetic word ( 1 Kings 17:14-16 ). 4. Brings Financial Breakthroughs Many testimonies show that worship has led to job promotions, business success, and supernatural...

The God of Restoration

The God of Restoration  बहाली का परमेश्वर Text: Joel 2:25 – "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you."  योएल 2:25 –  "और मैं उन वर्षों की भरपाई कर दूँगा जिन्हें टिड्डियों ने खा लिया, फ़सल नाश करने वाले, बिनाई करने वाले और गाजरगोजर ने, जो मेरी भेजी हुई बड़ी सेना थी।" Introduction Life is full of seasons—some of joy and abundance, and others of loss and hardship. There are times when we feel like everything we have worked for has been devoured, just like the locusts did to Israel. But the good news is that God is a God of restoration!  हमारे जीवन में अलग-अलग मौसम आते हैं—कुछ आनंद और समृद्धि के होते हैं, तो कुछ हानि और कठिनाई के। कई बार ऐसा लगता है कि हमने जो कुछ मेहनत से कमाया था, वह खो गया या नष्ट हो गया, जैसे इस्राएल की फ़सलें टिड्डियों ने खा लीं। In this message, we will explore three key aspects of God’s restoration: लेकिन  हमारा परमेश्वर ...

A Biblical Study on Dreams and Their Meanings

Image
  A Biblical Study on Dreams and Their Meanings Dreams are mysterious and can be influenced by various spiritual, emotional, and physical factors. The Bible records many instances of dreams, both from God and from human minds. This study explores biblical principles on dreams, their sources, and how to respond to them. 1. Biblical Examples of Dreams A. God-Given Dreams God sometimes used dreams to communicate with people. Here are a few examples: Joseph’s Dreams (Genesis 37:5-10) – God revealed Joseph’s future leadership through symbolic dreams. Pharaoh’s Dreams (Genesis 41:1-7) – God gave Pharaoh prophetic dreams about a coming famine, which Joseph interpreted. Nebuchadnezzar’s Dreams (Daniel 2 & 4) – God revealed the rise and fall of kingdoms through the king’s dreams. Joseph (Mary’s Husband) (Matthew 1:20, 2:13, 2:19) – God warned Joseph in dreams to protect Jesus. B. Dreams That Reflect Human Thoughts The Bible acknowledges that not all dreams are divine me...

Deaf to the Negative

Image
Deaf to the Negative Scripture Reference: Philippians 4:8 - "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Introduction Good morning, church! Today, I want to talk about a life-transforming choice each of us can make: becoming deaf to the negative. We live in a world filled with noise—criticism, doubt, fear, and negativity. But as children of God, we’re called to tune into a higher frequency, one that aligns with God’s promises, His truth, and His purpose for our lives. The Power of Words Words have incredible power. Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that "The tongue has the power of life and death." What we hear and internalize can either build us up or tear us down. 1. Negative Words from Others Many of us have been hurt by critical or discouraging words. People may have said, "You’re not g...

Prophetic Teaching by Deacon Yachang Lalyang : “God’s Heart for Godly Offspring and the Restoration of Marriages”

Image
🔥 Prophetic Teaching by Deacon Yachang Lalyang : “God’s Heart for Godly Offspring and the Restoration of Marriages” भविष्यद्वाणी शिक्षण: “भक्तिमान संतान और विवाह की पुनर्स्थापना के लिए परमेश्वर का हृदय” 1️⃣ God’s Heart for Marriage — Malachi 2:15 विवाह के लिए परमेश्वर का हृदय — मलाकी 2:15 “Did He not make them one, with a portion of the Spirit in their union? And what was the one God seeking? Godly offspring.” “क्या उसने उन्हें एक नहीं किया, और उनके मिलन में अपनी आत्मा का एक भाग नहीं दिया? और वह एक क्यों बना? क्योंकि वह भक्तिमान सन्तान चाहता था।” — मलाकी 2:15 God made husband and wife one — not only physically but spiritually, by His Spirit. परमेश्वर ने पति और पत्नी को केवल शरीर से नहीं, पर आत्मा से भी एक किया है। He desires that their union produce godly offspring — a generation that loves and follows Him. वह चाहता है कि उनका मिलन भक्तिमान सन्तान उत्पन्न करे — ऐसी पीढ़ी जो परमेश्वर से प्रेम करे और उसकी राह चले। 2️⃣ The Prophetic Power of Restoration — Ezekiel 37 पुनर्स्...

When Dry Bones Live Again

Image
“When Dry Bones Live Again” Text: Ezekiel 37:1–10 Supporting Verse: Hebrews 1:14 1. Introduction: God’s Vision in the Valley God took Ezekiel to a valley full of dry bones. It was not a place of life, but a place of death, decay, and hopelessness. Yet, that’s exactly where God chose to reveal His power. परमेश्वर ने यहेजकेल को सूखी हड्डियों की घाटी में ले गया। यह जीवन की नहीं, बल्कि मृत्यु और निराशा की जगह थी। लेकिन परमेश्वर ने अपनी सामर्थ उसी जगह पर दिखाई। 👉 Sometimes God takes us to “valleys” — not to destroy us, but to teach us to see life where others see death. 2. The Question of Faith Then God asked, “Son of man, can these bones live?” (Ezekiel 37:3) Ezekiel didn’t say “Yes” or “No.” He said, “Lord, You know.”  फिर परमेश्वर ने पूछा,  “मनुष्य के सन्तान, क्या ये हड्डियाँ जीवित हो सकती हैं?”  यहेजकेल ने कहा,  “हे प्रभु यहोवा, तू ही जानता है।” It’s okay when we don’t have all the answers — what matters is that we know Who holds the answer.  जब हमें...
