[Matthew 25:26, 29 KJV] “For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.” (Further Scripture Ref: Matthew 25:14-30)
To increase is to become larger in amount or number.
In the parable of the sower, I learn four important lessons:
- You are entitled to receive from where you have served. The man called his servants, not strangers. He called those who had served him and gave them talents.
- How much you will receive is determined by your several abilities. He gave them talents according to their several abilities. The man knew his servants and what they can handle.
- How much you can gain more depends on your creativity, understanding and strategic management. You must be shrewd enough in trading what you have, to gain more.
- Increase is the only justification for receiving more. You must gain more to receive more. Those who don’t increase even lose what they have.
Any man desiring increase must take time and think on these things. Let us meditate on these things and win more. Grace is coming and increase is the blessing.
Stay blessed
