The Laws Of Increase

Pastor David Bamberry

The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. Psalm 115:14 KJV

The Law of Sowing and Reaping

Galatians 6:7-8 NIV Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Genesis 8:22 NIV “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”

Why does God place such a strong emphasis on the law of sowing and

reaping?

Because it’s so easy for us to fall into these three patterns:

1. We ignore it—living as though it doesn’t exist.

2. We deny it applies to us—assuming we’re the exception.

3. We overlook its consequences—failing to connect what we’re reaping with what we’ve sown.

Five Principles of Sowing and Reaping:

You reap what you sow.

Matthew 5:7 NKJV “Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.”

Proverbs 18:24 NKJV A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

You reap where you sow.

Hosea 8:7 NIV “They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head; it will produce no flour. Were it to yield grain, foreigners would swallow it up.”

You reap after you sow.

Ecclesiastes 11:1 NLT Send your grain across the seas, and in time, profits will flow back to you.

You reap more than you sow.

Luke 6:38 NLT “Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down,

shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back.”

You reap in proportion to what you sow.

2 Corinthians 9:6 NKJV But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

God says that when it comes to this law, when we give, we not only are sowing seeds of blessing and increase for our lives, but we are giving to God!
