He increased His people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.

Psalm 105:24

God has a purpose for our calling. He did not do the great work of the Calvary by chance, but instead He sent His only Son to die in our place, turning us into His private property (Exodus 19:5). So if we do not progress or multiply, something is wrong with us. As a matter of fact, this is what the devil wants because he strongly fears our prosperity.

What the Lord did for Israel is a representation of what He wants to do for us: the Israelites were held captive but they still managed to multiply and become stronger than their enemies (Genesis 47:27). Today, we are no longer in captivity because, in Jesus, we have been delivered from the power of darkness forever. However, if we fail, the enemy will have us back in his hands. Therefore, we must keep an eye out and do what pleases the Most High.

It is important to emphasize that we are not competing with any religion. Our focus is to give people the opportunity to be saved. This issue is of utmost importance, so we cannot even entertain the thought of waging religious wars. When the Church growth gets stagnant, millions of souls go to Hell from where they will never escape. For this reason, the churches must increase its members as quickly as possible.

The people of Israel did not have the same knowledge of the Scriptures as we do today and neither were they filled with the Holy Spirit. However, the Spirit of God moved in their midst and they started to grow and multiply. It was God who gave them such grace, and today He longs to do the same with His Church. After all, children are a heritage from the Lord, who wants them to grow for His glory (Psalm 127:3).

However, there will be no multiplication or growth if we do not heed what the Most High says about us. Whenever we do wrong, He will make us feel sadness in our heart and will teach us to do His will. If we leave for later what He commanded us to do, we will never fulfill the task for which we were called. Those who despise the word of God will surely receive the contempt they deserve, so do not be indifferent.

Undoubtedly, the Almighty wants us to be bigger and more powerful than our opponents. We must teach young people the value of a soul and the importance of holiness, guiding them to prepare themselves to occupy the major positions of the nation. If half of the ministers of the Supreme Court was made up of saved men, the same sex marriage law would never have passed because such thing is harshly condemned in the Scriptures (Romans 1:26-27).

It is time for the Lord’s holy people to take their place in society. Why let the wicked or pseudo Christians be in charge of cities, states and country? God needs servants in high positions of our country. Let us fight for it!

In Christ with love,
