&nb sp; Let the Lord increase you
“For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hast blessed thee since my coming ( Gen.30: 30)
Two days ago, a relative of ours, who are missionaries in Uttar Pradesh, working amongst the Islamite, paid a visit to us and India no one gets prior appointment to visit relatives. Molly is 250 K.M away with our first daughter and I had to play the role of a faithful host. After an hour of discussions on missions and spiritual horizons, it was time for them to depart. They started to pray. I was going through a struggle inside; whether to give them an offering or not. Finally I gave them a very huge amount as an offering..
On Sunday morning the Lord gave me his word, on how when we are associated with the right persons will bring an abundant increase in wealth and all other areas. Look at the above verse in Genesis. Jacob was fleeing for his life from his brother Esau and the Lord confronted him in Bethel.
Bethel is known as “Beith (The House) – El( of the Lord)”
The temple of the Lord was built there after some years of time. Bethel was God’s place of dwelling and His mission oriented. Jacob finally ended with Laban; his relative. Since Jacob associated with Laban and worked for him, feeding and tending the sheep, it increased. And so the wealth increased.
But before that, Laban had very little.
In human Calculations, Jacob was only like a servant and had no social significance or status. But The Almighty God was with Jacob.
Your Association with Bethel will definitely, bring increase! I challenge you to test this. Because of Bethel you have been blessed and will increase more and more; you and your children and their children for 4 generations.
Bethel has many missions; like the orphanage, Child evangelism, youth work, pastor’s training, Pastor’s support and building constructions and many more.
You can lend a helping hand. And I will Challenge you that the Lord will increase you!
Sincerely,
Rev.Dass.T
Director,
Bethel
