ENLARGEMENT

2 “ENLARGE THE PLACE OF YOUR TENT, And let them STRETCH OUT the curtains of your dwellings;
Do not spare; LENGTHEN YOUR CORDS, And STRENGTHEN YOUR STAKES.
3 For you shall EXPAND TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited."
Isaiah 54:2,3 (NKJV)

• For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for Life (Psalm 30:5).

• God promises to bless His people back. He compared them, the Israelites as a nation, to a barren woman.
• God is a God of progress, expansion, and enlargement. Stagnation and being stunted are not part of His attributes.
  WHERE you see stunted and stagnation, and dryness, God is not there.
• The Bible passage above is prophetic and it is applicable to us as Believers.
• For God to bless you, move you to another level in whatever you are doing, you have to do your own part in the preparation for whatever He wanted or intended to do.
  IN this time and season of your Life, God wants you to prepare for His lifting (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
• He wants you to enlarge your tent—whatever you are DOING. He wants you to enlarge it, in the preparation for His move—on your business, career, ministry, or whatever.
• God would have loved to bless some people more than what they do have, and lift them higher than the level they are presently, but their means of income are limited.
  PREPARE for the blessings of God that are coming into your Life! You may have to create more avenues through which your blessings could be channelled to you.

• One of the things you do that would make God wants to bless or lift you is faithfulness in Kingdom financial commitments.

• Another like it is, being kingdom minded, that is, being mindful of the progress and expansion of God's work or Kingdom on earth.
• God would not lift you, enlarge you, without a particular purpose. There should be a cause you are committed to, what you are supporting, before you can be considered to be due for His lifting or enlargement.
• Someone may read the text, the Bible passage for this piece, and be preparing for the enlargement without doing the needful, that would be a mirage—an illusion, a dream that may never come true.
• For a Scripture to be fulfilled in a Believer's life, he or she has the part or role to play, before God could do His own part.
• If you want enlargement, you want a particular Scripture to be fulfilled in your Life, Get to know God's mind on what you do. Know the Plan He has for your Life and be committed to it.
• You also need to engage in other spiritual principles for you to experience the fulfilment of whatever Scripture in your Life.

• The responsibility of whoever wants to receive God's Blessing includes an exercise of faith, ability to see what God is about to do with your eyes of understanding.
IF you do not see what God has in plan to do, you are myopic, you may not be able to prepare by enlarging your tent, stretch out the curtains, lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes (Isaiah 54:2). It is all about preparation!

• Whatever would be done in your Life, would need a spiritual, mental or emotional, and physical preparation. In other words, your spirit, soul, and body should be involved in the preparations.

• You shall expand to the right and to the left (Isaiah 54:3).

• The preparation takes faith. You can only receive as far as you can see (Genesis 13:14,15).
• What you do not see with your spiritual eyes may not materialize physically. When you see it, and believe it, and act on it, it then becomes a reality.
• You also may need to visit some places where things, which are similar to what God intended to do in your Life are happening.
• God would want you to have the mental picture of whatever He wants to do.
  FOR you not to be embarrassed with the magnitude of whatever He wants to do, He would want you to see the similar thing He has done in other places.
• Whoever wants to experience God's lifting or enlargement would have to cultivate the habit of visiting other places where things are happening. WHERE God is performing wonders!
  WHAT you see in such places provokes, creates a thirst in you to see similar THINGS happen in your Life: business, ministry, career, or whatever.
• God at times would ask you to go or take you to some places in other to speak to you—communicate His mind to you.
  YOU should learn to hear God in every situation and circumstance.
  GOD told Jeremiah to go to the Potter's house that He wanted to speak to him (Jeremiah 18:1-6).
• If you visited where things are happening, where God is doing a new thing that is similar to what He asked you to do, you can easily dream a new dream of whatever He does want to do in your own Life also.

• God wanted to restore what the Israelites had lost, they would however need to prepare themselves for whatever He wanted to do.

• Their descendants would inherit the Nations, and make the desolate places inhabited (Isaiah 54:3).
  WHAT are the things you have lost? God promises to make good! They would be restored to you!
  WHAT are the new things you are desiring to receive from God? He will surely do as He has spoken also!
• All you have to do is the preparation!
• Develop yourself, sharpen your skills, work on yourself.
  YOU will have to learn More, if need be.
  GO for trainings, in order to put yourself in the proper preparation for whatever God is about to do!
  YOU would do well to do the needful!

• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
Peace!
