Enlarge the Place of Thy Tent
.
The LORD commands His people to enlarge the place of their tent, and stretch the curtains of their homes. It is the LORD speaking, so you can be sure this is not wishful thinking. He is saying we will break forth on every side and expand in every aspect of our lives.
.
This is the same
God instructing us to enlarge our tents because we are about to break forth! God
is saying we should increase our capacity to handle more than we do. It might
begin with the way we think. The Lord is saying today ”enlarge your capacity”! Enlarge
your capacity for you are about to break forth!

“Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch
forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and
strengthen thy stakes” -
(Isaiah 54:2 KJV)
He commands His people to enlarge the place
of their tent, and stretch the curtains of their homes.
Why does He want them to do these?
The next verse gives us the reason
“For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on
the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities
to be inhabited”
- (Isaiah
54:3 KJV)
Hallelujah!
It is the LORD speaking, so you can be sure
this is not wishful thinking.
He is saying we will break forth on every
side and expand in every aspect of our lives.
Do you remember the poor widow in 2 Kings
4 who was instructed by Elisha to
borrow many vessels from her neighbors because oil will be abundant?
Well, she borrowed only a few and she ran
out of vessels and the oil stopped flowing.
When her capacity was reached, the blessing
stopped. She defined the extent of her blessings.
For many of us, this does not mean we
should literally get a bigger house.
God is saying we should increase our
capacity to handle more than we do.
It might begin with the way we think.
Can you see beyond our current
circumstances?
Or, have you ever seen yourself in
financial prosperity?
Or have you ever seen yourself flowing in a
greater anointing?
Can you handle millions of dollars and
still be faithful to God?
As the Apostle Paul says, he had learned to
do all things.
He could be rich or poor but His love for
God will not be affected.
This is where God wants you to be.
You can be sure there are some of us in the
house that if God puts money in their hands, their spiritual lives will be
ruined. They are not ready.
However, the Lord
is saying today ”enlarge your capacity”!
MEDITATE
What needs to be enlarged in your life to
contain God’s blessings?
APPLY
THE WORD
Some of you reading this devotional today
and praying for a baby should go and purchase baby things!
Maybe you are looking for a specific job
and have prayed about it. Start preparing yourself for work!
You might need to get your work clothes
together!
Maybe your issue might simply be to start
seeing yourself healed, or delivered or financially prosperous!
Enlarge your capacity for you are about to
break forth!
PRAY
Why don’t you thank the Lord for His wonderful love and abundance bestowed upon us?
