God Gives the Increase


Wondering how to be rich and how to increase your fortune? Look no further, here's the answer:

1 Corinthians 3:6 (New King James Version)
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.


You read it right, it's GOD who gives the increase! In fact the proceeding verse is as such:

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7

Not you, not your company, not your investments, not your business, not your capabilities and "can do's", but it's all about God. Because at the end of the day, it's God who gives the increase.


But here's the catch, you need to plant and you need to water for God to do the "INCREASE". Don't take me wrong, your business or company or investments or anything can be used by God to perform the "INCREASE" in your life but what I'm saying our success and prosperity is not dependent on these but on GOD alone.

God said in His word,

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Gal. 6:7

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.
Mal. 3:10

You sow you offering to the Lord. You never miss giving your tithes even if it would mean, you'd be out of budget. Always remember tithes are holy before the Lord. When we fail to give it, we actually hinder God from blessing us with the blessing He had prepared.

At the end of the day, let's praise the Lord for the INCREASE but let's never forget we are to PLANT and WATER before that happens.

God Bless You!
