I pray for increase. Lord bless me indeed in my finances, in physical healing, and in my relationship with others. Most of all Lord increase and bless my intimacy with YOU.

And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. 1 Chronicles 4:10

I asked the Lord to blow His wind on my finances. My prayer focused on financial needs.

Then I heard the Lord Say,

25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. 26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. Joel 2:25-26

These are my instructions from the Lord to receive financial increase.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33

• Give Him props, wake up every morning praising Him and all throughout the day.
• Every time I open my mouth find a way to bless His name.
• Honor Him in my speech and lifestyle
• Be compassionate and longsuffering with others. 
• Appreciate what I already have.
• Share with others.
• Lend a helping hand where needed.
• Be passionate with whatever work He places in my hands.
• Be thankful and bless His name.
• Be careful how I treat people.
• Be a passionate listener instead of a gossiper.
• Be the peacemaker.
• Love one another preferring others before self.
• Do the will of the Father.
• Let God have His way in my life even when I do not understand.
• Let go of hurt and pain.
• Receive God’s mercy as well as give it away.
• Let go of anger and bitterness.
• Trust God even when it does not make sense.
• Turn the other cheek. 
• Allow others to walk on me if it means them walking with Christ.

1 For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. Matthew 20:1-4

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. 8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. 9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. Psalm 112:1-9

Doing my part sets the stage for my generation to receive the blessing of the Lord. The promise of God’s love always prevails. When we work for an employer, we expect time to reflect wages earned. When we exceed the employer’s expectation, we look for a bonus or promotion.

Working for the Lord has no time restraints. Regardless of hours worked, He rewards faithful service. Sometimes I forget who my employer is – whatever is right He will pay. I like the answer to my prayer.

American Standard Version

26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And the law of kindness is on her tongue. 27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. 28 Her children rise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her, saying: 29 Many daughters have done worthily, But thou excellest them all. 30 Grace is deceitful, and beauty is vain; But a woman that feareth Jehovah, she shall be praised.31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; And let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31:26–31

World English Bible

1 When Yahweh brought back those who returned to Zion, We were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “Yahweh has done great things for them.” 3 Yahweh has done great things for us, And we are glad. Restore our fortunes again, Yahweh, Like the streams in the Negev (the South). 5 Those who sow in tears will reap in joy. 6 He who goes out weeping, carrying seed for sowing, Will assuredly come again with joy, carrying his sheaves. Psalm 126:1-6

King James Bible

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: He is gracious, and merciful, and righteous. 5 Well is it with the man that dealeth graciously and lendeth; He shall maintain his cause in judgment.6 For he shall never be moved; The righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. 7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: His heart is fixed, trusting in Jehovah. 8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, Until he see his desire upon his adversaries. 9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the needy; His righteousness endureth for ever: His horn shall be exalted with honor. Psalm 112:4–9

 American Standard Version

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast its fruit before the time in the field, saith Jehovah of hosts. Malachi 3:11  

And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: 2 Corinthians 9:10

And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

In all the places where the enemy has tried to make me see famine, dry ground and desert land, unfertile soil and unfruitfulness, he is a liar in Jesus name. The word of God brings all of his actions to counterfeit attacks. The Word of God takes over any attempts or attacks from the enemy.

I shall begin to see spiritually and in the natural, everything the Lord promised. Wicked wealth, riches, honor, jewels and precious stones, gold, oil and gas, houses and land, real-estate holdings, and deeds with my name – come forth now in Jesus name!

I see myself laughing again where I once cried out in my heart concerning financial matters. I see myself laughing at lack and poverty for the King of Glory has come into my situation. Father in the name of Jesus, I thank you that “Your” word prevails with me and my family. 

20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
