A group of twenty countries agreed to increase clean energy. Social Security beneficiaries can expect an increase in 2024 benefits. A financial firm increases stock holdings for its clients.
But what is 'increase' in the spiritual realm? The Bible makes it plain that increase is not just money, although secular culture grossly distorts the meaning of prosperity.
Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men, according to Luke 2:52.
And we know that God is the true source of increase:
So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth.
I Corinthians 3:7
Increase is a spiritual principle. Here are five non-monetary ways believers experience increase.
One: A bag of vegetables left at your door.
Two: A positive health report.
Three: Thoughts of joy versus depression.
Four: You can get into a dress or a pair of slacks
Five: You get a promotion on your job.
