There is no doubt God is a God of increase. There is absolutely no doubt He wants to increase you. And there’s no doubt He wants to begin doing it today!
Listen, clearly God has shown us that He wants to multiply our giving and our sowing into a miracle harvest. He wants to give us beyond what we can ask or even think. And God is ready to do that in your life!

Now, here are those five reasons… |
- Because You Are Sowing to Glorify God. – God wants to give us increase…why? Because it gives Him glory! When you experience increase God gets glorified. And if our desire is to give Him glory – which should be the desire of every Christian, you WANT to give God the glory. You WANT your life to glorify God. Then it’s time to experience the increase He has for us because it gives God glory.
- Because You Are Giving Into the Preaching of the Gospel. – If you’re sowing into the preaching of the Gospel, then this is another reason God wants you to increase. God wants to be glorified and He wants you to increase so the Gospel can be preached.
The Bible says in Romans, chapter 10, “How can they hear without a preacher?” And then it goes on to say “How can the preacher preach unless he’s sent?” And how is he sent? He’s sent with money, and financial support from people just like you who give to take care of his needs and equip him to go where he needs to go! - Because You Are Expectant. – Philippians 4:19 says “But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus.” This includes your spiritual, relational, AND financial needs.
We have to realize this is one of the primary reasons God wants to bring increase into our lives. God WANTS to meet your needs abundantly. He’s our Father, and no father wants His children just barely getting by. However, you must have an expectation that your Heavenly Father is looking to bless you abundantly. - Because YOU Are Giving to Help Others. – God wants you to have plenty left over to give joyfully to others for every good work. Don’t you want be able to help every good work? Well, that’s increase. I don’t think we often realize how staggering the concept of God’s exponential increase is. It’s thirty-fold, sixty-fold, one-hundred fold! God wants you to break free in your mind from the limited increase and think instead about unlimited possibilities, so that you begin to expect above and beyond all you can ask or think.
- Because You Are Thankful. – God’s not trying to get something from you. He’s trying to get something to you! God wants you to be thankful for what you have right now. Jesus was given five loaves and two fish, and he didn’t say, “What? This is all you’ve got? This is all you could do?” No! What did He do? He took the five loaves and the two fish, and he lifted them up to God and gave thanks. And what happened when He gave thanks? They multiplied! They multiplied because he was thankful.
Be thankful today for whatever you have right now and lift it up to God. Because that’s how multiplication happens: through gratitude and through thankfulness.
Give for the sake of the Gospel. Say, “Jesus, this is all I have and I want You to have it because I love you. Because You saved me.”
There is no doubt God is a God of increase. There is absolutely no doubt He wants to increase you. And there’s no doubt He wants to begin doing it today!
Clearly God has shown us that He wants to multiply your giving and your sowing into a miracle harvest. He wants to give you beyond what you can ask or even think about. And God is ready to do that in your life today. It’s very simple.
