Devotional:
You may be thinking, “I know the bible says I’m blessed to be a blessing. But if I’m blessed and I give it away, what about me?” Read this verse. “There is that scattereth, (or distributes) yet increaseth” (Proverbs 11:24).It’s the law of increase. You cannot out-give God. You distribute and it creates increase. Another translation says “it is possible to give it all away and yet become richer.” The Bible says that the one who withholds his blessings (or refuses to give) will end in want or poverty. If God tells you to bless someone, then be quick to obey and bring peace, happiness and joy into someone’s life. From here on out, never again ask God to just meet your needs. From now on say, “God, empower me to prosper!” Why? Because if all that happens is you having your needs met, then you can’t and won’t be a blessing. Empowered to prosper means your needs will be met and you’ll have plenty left over to bless others. Get involved in blessing others and God will see to it that every desire of your heart is met far above anything you could ever ask or think. Why does God want you blessed? For you to be a blessing! When you make it a lifestyle to look for opportunities to be a blessing (with whatever you have to give), THEN you’re ready to get out of the survival lifestyle. Many, probably most, people are living from paycheck to paycheck. They aren’t increasing; they are just surviving. That could be you. When God visited me and gave me this mandate, He instructed me to challenge the Body of Christ to get out of this survival mentality and begin to believe Him for supernatural Increase. You may be thinking, “That’s great for you, Jerry, but how does it affect me?” Increase is available to anyone who will dare believe for it. God’s doing it! He’s not doing it because it’s something Jerry Savelle thought of. No, I just decided to get in the flow of it, I’m tapping into it, and God is confirming His Word with signs following. It is God’s will for YOU to experience supernatural increase in every area of your life! Before the Saints are going to be caught away, God says there are some things that must come to pass first. One is, “This Gospel must be published to all the nations” (Matthew 24:14). If we’re going to publish the Gospel to all the nations, we must have the resources to do it. We can’t publish the Gospel to the nations if we’re broke! God wants us to increase! It’s the financial position that God wants the Body of Christ in.
