The law of increase is also called the law of harvest, or the law of use. It is God's will for us to have increase. Increase in our spirituality, mental capacity, skills, knowledge, wisdom, faith, health, wealth and influence. Basically in every areal of our lives we can and must increase.
In the book of Matthew 25:15 we find the parable of the talents. The Parable of the Talents describes a man who gave each of his three servants an amount of money, each according to his ability, before he left on a trip. When he returned, he had the servants give an account of what they had done with the money.
The first two servants in the parable put their money to work and doubled it, which pleased their master. But the third one was afraid and hid the money so he wouldn’t make his master angry by losing it. However, his master was angry because he didn’t even deposit the money in a bank to earn interest. The master considered him wicked and lazy for doing nothing at all and gave his money to the servant with the greatest return.
According to God...
* small increase is better than no increase at all
* if you're faithful or because of your faithfulness with little, you will be entrusted with much.
What do we say then?
1. Do not be lazy. Work well and work hard with what you have.
2. Whatever you do not use, you will lose. Your skills, talents and gifting for example will only increase when you use them.
3. Be faithful in what you do. God will increase what you're faithful to.
In conclusion... God wants you to increase. It is up to you to step up and step into the blessing of increase which has been prepared for you. Even if it looks like you have something small, you won't end there. Though you may have little, you will end with great.
