Prepare for the Increase
Apostle Otis B. Young delivers a compelling message centered on prioritizing the Word of God and preparing for the increase God has promised. He breaks down the story of Jesus using Simon Peter's boat and challenges listeners to consider what they're truly hungry for, and what they're willing to do in response to God's command.
This message will challenge you to:
-- Prioritize God's Word: The people in the crowd were not coming for gossip or social events; they were coming specifically to hear the Word of God. The sermon stresses the importance of making God's Word a top priority, just like you would a mortgage payment or cell phone bill.
-- Prepare for Increase: God's blessings often come in the form of increase, but if we aren't prepared for it, we can be overwhelmed. This means strengthening systems, changing models, and having a prophetic eye to see where God is leading the ministry. The analogy of getting a bigger plate for a bigger meal illustrates this perfectly.
-- Guard Your Ears: What you allow into your "ear gate" affects your spirit and your perception of others. The message warns against listening to negativity and gossip and instead encourages filling your mind with the Word of God, which is a "lamp to your feet" and a source of freedom.
-- Obey Without Question: Drawing from Simon Peter's experience of letting down his nets after a fruitless night of fishing, the core of the message is a call to radical obedience. Even when something doesn't make sense or seems illogical, the command "because He said so" is reason enough to trust and obey, leading to groundbreaking, record-breaking, and even "net-breaking" overflow.
