Strategies For Exponential Growth

“God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love—like Christ in everything. We take our lead from Christ, who is the source of everything we do…nourishing us so that we will grow up healthy in God.”

Ephesians 4:15-16 MSG

There is nothing more exciting than the process of growth—of increasing and expanding and building capacity to do and become more.

God’s heart for His people is that they would live expansive lives and “grow up in all things” (Eph. 4:15 NKJV).

To grow up entails a maturation process.

You might think that the topic of spiritual maturity isn’t as exciting as talking about changing the world or overcoming the enemy or tearing down strongholds—but if you’ve been participating in our 4 Points Broadcast, you’ll understand how rich this teaching is!

If you want to know how to develop break-though faith for supernatural provision, healing, influence, discernment, boldness—or bondage-breaking insight, revelation, and wisdom—join me for this LIVE small group study every 1st and 3rd Thursday at 7pm ET.

Don’t miss this week’s 4 Points Broadcast on Thursday at 7pm ET!

This concept of growth that we’ve been studying is a theme we find emphasized throughout the Bible, but it is especially central to New Testament teaching.

The word “grow” is associated with believers who are maturing.  

It is a word that presupposes that we have the capacity for more.

So if we’re not growing in certain areas, we can confidently approach God in prayer and ask Him to show us where we are being restricted or hampered or limited.

God wants you to grow in all areas, yet there may be invisible lids that are keeping you from maturing spiritually, financially, relationally, socially, vocationally, and so on.

Ask God to reveal what is keeping you from growing in every area of your life.

You can pray like Jabez did for God to expand you—to increase your influence and build your capacity to do more.

Ask Him to show you how to think differently, speak differently, and understand differently. Ask Him to reveal new insights and new ways to perceive the opportunities around you for growth.

“Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast…”

1 Chronicles 4:10 KJV

Ask God to broaden your horizons!

Believe God for the prosperity you need to fulfill His purposes for you—the provision that will enable you to maximize your potential to affect positive change in the world around you.

Press into the promises of God to grow and mature into the benefactor He has created you to become rather than the perpetual beneficiary.

Take the limits off your potential to create wealth!

Your paycheck is not the harvest. Your current income is only the seed God has given you to cultivate—it’s the seed capital you’ve been given to convert into wealth.

To grow presupposes you have the capacity for more.

If you’re not getting or becoming more—if you’re in the same state emotionally, socially, financially…or if you have the same people, networks, or opportunities you’ve always had—there is a lid.

I decree that every self-imposed limitation—every demonic lid—every limitation that has been spoken over your life—is being lifted off of your life even as you read this.

I decree the heavens are opening over your life right now in this moment.

And that open heaven might come in the form of an idea, insight, or a strategy.

Because one insight or one idea that fuels a decision or a shift in your strategy will radically change your life!

A strategy is simply a course of action that you use for a specific outcome. You determine what you want, and then decide on a course of action you believe you need to take.

All of us have strategies, but not all of them take us where we want to go.

God is getting ready to change your strategy by giving you a new script…but you must be willing to exchange your childhood strategies for that new adult script.

We all have strategies, but they are often self-sabotaging because they are based on an immature script.

Don’t curse your situation, let your situation prophesy to you.

Rather than trying to fix the outcome, fix the strategy! Fix your script.

I can’t emphasize enough that when it comes to the word “grow”—it means you have the capacity for more. The focus here is on the capacity you have already been given.

What are you doing to leverage that capacity? Or rather, what are the lids inhibiting you from expanding it?

Who and what around you are placing lids on your life?

Identify the things that are limiting you.

If it’s your mindset, that means you have to upgrade.

How do you upgrade?

You grow intellectually.

How are you growing intellectually?

You read.

What are the books that you are reading?

Pray for God to show you the strategies you need to change your script, your narrative, your nature.

Growth is a process. 

The process of growth requires a new way of thinking; it requires comprehension.

But this process also requires cooperation with what God is trying to do on your behalf, whether or not you comprehend it.

The process of growth requires the practice of faith.

Finally, you have to make an investment—a contribution. You have to cultivate the seeds you’ve been given whether intellectually, spiritually, relationally, or in whatever area you’re seeking growth.

Let me ask you today: How are you adding to your faith?

“Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.  For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

2 Peter 1:5-8
