Increase in Love

Few days ago, during my devotion time with the Lord I read in 1 Thessalonians 4:10b But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; in it I saw that the Lord wants us to continue to increase so I thought about Joseph, from being sold into slavery down to Potiphar’s’ house to prison. During that period of his life, it didn’t look like he was increasing - from Potiphar’s house straight to prison, in the natural it was obvious he was going down. However, the Holy Spirit told me that Joseph was increasing on the inside in terms of character development and as far as heaven was concerned it was important for Joseph to go through that season. In God’s eyes he was increasing.

In Thessalonians, again chapter 3:15, we see Paul praying for the believers for increase more and more in their love for one another.
In Philippians 1:9: And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment

Meaning there is capacity to increase our love for one another.


Prayer

Lord I pray that my love for you and people will increase more and more. In Jesus Name. Amen.
