Increase & Honour

DAY 1 OF 7

God’s Heart for Increase

God is a God of increase. Long before you desire growth or expansion, He already desires it for you. In Isaiah 54:2–3, God invites His people to “enlarge,” “stretch,” and “expand.” These are not suggestions; they are prophetic instructions. Increase is not simply about having more; it is about becoming more, becoming all God designed you to be.

But biblical increase doesn’t start outside. It begins inside. Before God enlarges your territory, He enlarges your capacity. Before He brings people, opportunities, platforms, or resources, He strengthens your character and broadens your perspective. What feels like a delay is often God doing deep work in you so that what He places in your hands will not overwhelm you.

The Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 is a picture of this. She wasn’t seeking a miracle. She wasn’t praying for a child. She was simply living faithfully and generously, and through that posture, God increased her life in unexpected ways.

Where God is present, increase follows. And when your heart is willing, He begins to prepare you for more than you can see.


Reflection Question:

  • Where might God be expanding your inner capacity before increasing your outer life?

About this Plan

Increase & Honour

God consistently moves His people toward increase—multiplying, restoring, and expanding those who walk with Him. But increase follows patterns, and one of the greatest is honour. This 7-day plan explores how honour positions you for God’s multiplication, using the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4 as a key example. Her simple generosity unlocked blessings she never requested and later opened the door to resurrection power. You’ll learn how God prepares you internally, how order attracts increase, and how obedience speaks in crisis. You will recognize God's patterns and step into your next season of growth.
