ENLARGE THE PLACE OF YOUR TENT

Our Lord Jesus Christ made a profound statement: "What men call greatness is an abomination before the sight of God." This challenges us to reconsider our understanding of greatness and to align it with God’s perspective. When the Lord desires us to "enlarge our tent," what does this mean? In biblical terms, the tent symbolizes a place of dwelling, and metaphorically, it represents ministry. The prophecy from Isaiah 54:2 says, "Enlarge the place of your tent," which signifies expanding the scope and reach of our ministry.

Jesus commands us in Matthew 28:18-20, “Go ye into all the world and make disciples of all men,” emphasizing the need for every believer to be involved in ministry work. This is further supported by our calling to the ministry of reconciliation, where we are tasked with bringing others to Christ. Therefore, when God speaks of enlarging our tents, He is calling us to expand our ministry's influence and reach, building a church without walls that extends to all corners of the earth.

As a ministry, we are in a season of expanding our reach to the uttermost parts of the earth. This is a pivotal moment in our journey, and as members who are connected to this commission, it is your responsibility to actively engage with this word from God. Each of us has been entrusted with a ministry, and now is the time to step up and contribute to the expansion of this mission. We are called to reach the lost and raise them as sons to the Lord. Let us embrace this vision wholeheartedly, dedicating ourselves to the work of God and ensuring that His message of love and salvation reaches every corner of the globe. Your involvement is crucial, and together, we can make a significant impact for the Kingdom of God.

Confession:

I am expanding my vision and capacity to receive all that God has for me. I make room for His blessings, stretching beyond my current limits and believing for greater things in every area of my life. I strengthen my commitment and reach further in my walk with God. I am extending my influence, deepening my relationships, and expanding my impact for His Kingdom. I am wholeheartedly committed to the work of God. I dedicate my time, resources, and energy to serve Him faithfully, advancing His Kingdom and fulfilling His purpose for my life.

Isa 2:2-3 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”
