We give God praise and thanks for another day of worship, when we come together as we are commanded in His Word. We welcome you to our church.
God has said that this year, 2015, is the Year of Increase. According to the Webster Miriam Dictionary, the word increase means, “to become progressively greater, as in size, amount, number, or intensity.” God wants to increase you in every area of your life. He wants to multiply and expand you as His child.
In last week’s teaching, the Lord sought to sensitize us to the fact that it is His will for us to increase by means of the inheritance which he has for us. As we rise up and take possession of our inheritance we will surely begin to realize our increase. However, we need to be reminded as I pointed out in the teaching, that if we are going to take possession of our inheritance as individuals, there are four things which are absolutely necessary: (1) Drastic Alterations; (2) Divine Assurance; (3) Daily Alignment and (4) Decisive Action. With these things in place, we will possess our inheritance and experience increase.
Let us brace ourselves and go forward. The Lord is with us and we are sure to conquer. Amen!

MAKING IT RIGHT
It was a perfect day for our garage sale—bright and warm. People rummaged through clothing, paperbacks, and mismatched dishes. I noticed a young woman looking at a string of white beads. A few minutes later, the necklace vanished along with its admirer. I spotted her in the street, jogged the length of my driveway, and discovered the missing jewelry nestled in her palm. As we faced each other with the knowledge of what had happened, she volunteered to pay for the stolen item.
Zacchaeus, the tree-climbing tax collector, met Jesus and was changed. He vowed to repay four times the amount of money he had dishonestly taken from others (Luke 19:8). In those days, tax collectors frequently overcharged citizens and then pocketed the extra funds. Zacchaeus’ eagerness to pay back the money and to donate half of what he owned to the poor showed a significant change of heart. He had once been a taker, but after meeting Jesus he was determined to make restoration and be a giver.
Zacchaeus’ example can inspire us to make the same kind of change. When God reminds us about items we have taken, taxes left unpaid, or ways we have wronged others, we can honor Him by making it right.—Jennifer Benson Schuldt
A debt is never too old for an honest person to pay.
