Endless great increase here and hereafter through seeking God.

Great endless increase here and hereafter through seeking God.

Job  8:5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;  8:6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.  8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

Matthew  6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Always remember that God’s thoughts towards us His people for this life and eternity are good thoughts to give us something worthwhile and lasting without sorrow.

These will be the portion of everyone of us here and hereafter in Jesus name.

Jeremiah  29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Proverbs  10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

God is doing these for us for two reasons.

1. He created us for His glory and wants our lives to be full of His glory.

Isaiah  43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.  43:21 This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

2. His glory in our lives will bring Him unending pleasure.

Psalms  35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

So how do you seamlessly access these great endless increase here and hereafter?

 By seeking Him wholeheartedly in all things and at all times.

Job  8:5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;  8:6 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.  8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

Matthew  6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Meaning you give Him priority or the first place in your life.

Meaning you are always living with eternity in view.

Meaning you are not going to gain anything at the expense of your precious undying soul.

His grace will be sufficient for you to do this, if you really want to do so.

2 Corinthians  9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

So be committed henceforth beyond what you have been doing in the time past to give God priority in your life and abhor gaining anything at the expense of your precious undying soul.

And you will continually experience ceaseless great increase here and hereafter in Jesus name.

Job  8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

Let us pray.
