Thousand-fold increase! – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran

“The LORD remembers us and will bless us” (Psalm 115: 12)
Jesus truly loves you and you are indeed not ordinary people. You are a special people to the Lord. “You are a chosen people.” (1 Peter 2:9) You are a chosen people among the millions of people. He has chosen you to be His people. Prophet Samuel says, to the people of Israel, “God has chosen you amidst the millions of people to be His people.” Yes, God has not forgotten you, He remembers you. When He remembers you, He blesses you and He increases you. “The LORD remembers us and will bless us: He will bless His people Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron, He will bless those who fear the LORD – small and great alike. May the LORD cause you to flourish, both you and your children” (Psalm 115: 12-14).

God will increase you to become a thousand (Isaiah 60:22). I believe that God is going to give you a thousand times increase, because you are chosen to be His special people. You have prayed unto Him; you have surrendered your life to Him and you have been made His own child; you have never given up the name of Jesus from your life. You have always set Jesus first. You have served the Lord. You have given your offerings to the Lord’s ministry so that it can be used to wipe away other people’s tears through the ministry. You have cared for the poor through the ministry. So, surely the Lord will remember you.

He knows you by name. “The people of Israel and the people of Judah together will go in tears to seek the Lord their God. They will ask the way to Zion and turn their faces toward it. They will come and bind themselves to the Lord in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten.” (Jeremiah 50: 4,5). Here the Lord talks about the people of Israel and the people of Judah; though they were all Jewish people chosen by God, they had split themselves, formed kingdoms, and had two different kings. But God always looked at them as one. Today, even in your family, your family may have grown and multiplied. One group may be serving the Lord and the other group may not. But God looks at the whole family; God looks at you as whole because He has chosen you and He has made everyone in your family as a special people. The Bible says, God will make all the members of your family to come together to seek Him and He will make you seek Him with tears; because only when you sow in tears, you can reap with joy (Psalm 126:5). God will increase you as a family.

Prayer:
Loving Father,

Remember me. Lord, You have chosen me and my family to be Your people so remember us Lord. Send thousand times blessing on us. Father, drive out everything of the flesh. Nothing should happen according to worldly standards in my life. Let everything happen according to Your heavenly standard. You are the God who calls into existence the things that do not exist. Now call every blessing in my life to spring forth from what does not exist. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
