The idea of increase is deeply rooted in the understanding of God's provision and blessing upon His people.<br><br><b>Old Testament</b><br><br>The theme of increase is introduced early in the Scriptures. In <a href="/genesis/1-28.htm">Genesis 1:28</a> , God commands Adam and Eve, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it." This divine mandate establishes the principle of increase as part of God's original design for humanity. The blessing of increase is further seen in the promises made to the patriarchs. For instance, God promises Abraham, "I will make you exceedingly fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will descend from you" (<a href="/genesis/17-6.htm">Genesis 17:6</a>).<br><br>The agricultural context of ancient Israel also highlights the importance of increase. In <a href="/leviticus/26-4.htm">Leviticus 26:4</a> , God promises, "I will give you rains in their season, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall bear their fruit." Here, increase is directly tied to obedience and covenant faithfulness, as God assures His people of agricultural abundance as a reward for their faithfulness.<br><br><b>Wisdom Literature</b><br><br>The wisdom literature of the Old Testament often associates increase with diligence and righteousness. <a href="/proverbs/13-11.htm">Proverbs 13:11</a> states, "Dishonest wealth will dwindle, but what is earned through hard work will be multiplied." This proverb underscores the principle that honest labor and integrity lead to genuine increase, contrasting it with the fleeting nature of ill-gotten gains.<br><br><b>New Testament</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of increase takes on a spiritual dimension. Jesus frequently uses agricultural metaphors to describe spiritual growth and the expansion of God's kingdom. In the Parable of the Sower, Jesus explains that the seed sown on good soil "produces a crop&#8212;a hundredfold, sixtyfold, or thirtyfold" (<a href="/matthew/13-23.htm">Matthew 13:23</a>). This parable illustrates how the Word of God, when received with understanding and faith, results in spiritual increase.<br><br>The apostle Paul also speaks of increase in the context of spiritual growth and maturity. In <a href="/1_corinthians/3-6.htm">1 Corinthians 3:6-7</a> , Paul writes, "I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." Here, Paul emphasizes that while human effort is involved, true increase comes from God.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Theologically, increase is seen as a sign of God's blessing and favor. It is not merely a result of human effort but is ultimately attributed to God's providence and grace. The biblical narrative consistently points to God as the source of all increase, whether material or spiritual. This understanding calls believers to a posture of gratitude and dependence on God for all forms of growth and abundance.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For believers, the principle of increase encourages a life of faithfulness, diligence, and trust in God's provision. It challenges Christians to seek spiritual growth and to be fruitful in their walk with God, knowing that He is the one who brings about true increase. Additionally, it serves as a reminder to steward well the resources and opportunities God provides, recognizing them as gifts from Him.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
