Enlarge Your Place Of Dwelling 1 “Sing, O barren, you who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman,” says the Lord. 2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. 3 For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited. Isaiah 54:1-3
From the passage we read above, God is telling you to enlarge the place of your tent, your place of habitation. The reason He is saying this is for you to prepare for the increase that is going to come which He has prepared for you. God wants to bless you in every way possible; He does not want to hold back and that is why He is telling you to enlarge the place of your dwelling. To enlarge means to make larger, to grow larger, to give greater scope of, to set free.
strengthened. Are you trusting God for increase in your home? Then, break forth into singing. God will bless you so much that every one will see the manifestation of God’s power in your life because barrenness cannot thrive in God’s presence.“For you shall expand to the right and to the left” (Isaiah 54:3). The Living Bible puts it this way, “For you will soon be bursting at the seams” (Isaiah 54:3 TLB). God is set to bless you until there is no room to contain it anymore. Prepare to receive the blessing. Do not let it take you unawares.
Give Generously 1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. 2 Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, for you do not know what evil will be on the earth. 3 If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie. Ecclesiastes 11:1-3

the situation, circumstances or evil report you may encounter because in the midst of all these, you shall reap abundance and receive your increase just as God has promised. Keep declaring to yourself that you are loaded with blessing and abundance from God and no evil shall befall you (Psalm 91:10). When you give generously, you are casting your bread upon the waters. Therefore, what you are really doing is putting water in the cloud. In spite of the doctors’ reports and what you might be experiencing in your body, “If the

If you think so, then you must realise that those things, which seem impossible for men are very possible with God (Luke 18:27). You must also realise that the blessing won’t even come to you until your mind begins to expect and accept it.

rains, vegetation takes place. When vegetation takes place, then you are ready to reap your harvest. When this happens, you prepare to bring in your harvest to the place of your habitation. As you are waiting for the harvest, it is important that you must be prepared beforehand to receive it. Therefore, you need to enlarge your tent.
God Is Set To Bless You 11 May the Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times more numerous than you are, and bless you as He has promised you! Deuteronomy 1:11
God is set for you to receive, not just a hundred-fold blessing, but a thousand-fold blessing. Indeed, God wants to bless and increase you a thousand times more. However, the role you have to play is to enlarge your mind. You may, some times, be tempted to give up, you might even wonder why it is taking so long; realise that you will not be able to figure this out with your head. All that God wants from you is to prepare for the increase and abundance that He is bringing your way. Enlarge your mind and do not put your hope and expectation in science or medical breakthroughs that doctors have told you will work. Instead, put your trust in God because He is the God of
times more health than what you are enjoying presently because it is going to be a misery if He blesses you a thousand times more and you are not healthy enough to enjoy it. “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness” (Psalm 65:11 KJV). God will give you all round blessing and you will be healthy, wealthy and prosperous. Enlarge your tent; strengthen your cords because God is set to exceed your wildest imagination. He wants to do it for you, not just to prove that He can do it, but so that you can be blessed. Get ready for your miracles and blessings from your heavenly Father. You must realise that God blesses you so that you can forget your times of sorrows and remember only the blessings. As you follow these truths, God will lead you, step by step, into every blessing He has prepared for you. So, get ready for increase; enlarge your tent, lengthen your cords and strengthen them, be ready to burst forth to the right and to the left. Even if you do not see it yet, relax and realise that you can only access it by faith and by your confession. Open your mouth by faith and call forth those blessings that are already yours. Claim them by faith. God wants to unleash on you blessings and miracles a thousand times more than you have ever experienced.
