It's a question that has perplexed many believers seeking spiritual breakthrough. In this powerful message on uncommon increase and spirit-led enlargement, we discover that God's kingdom isn't found in external places or religious systems—it's within us. The moment we receive Jesus Christ, He gives us access to His kingdom and installs divine software that transforms us from the inside out. But have we been updating this software? Have we been growing since receiving it? Three key areas determine our capacity for uncommon increase: our mind, our heart, and our speech. Our mind functions like software running on the hardware of our brain. Many of us were programmed by our upbringing, education, and cultural systems, creating limitations in our thinking. An enlarged mind is open to God's daily revelations and has space for new insights. Romans 12:2 commands us to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind," allowing us to think bigger and align with God's abundant perspective. The enlarged heart maintains emotional stability regardless of external circumstances. Jesus promised tribulation but also victory: "In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world." Challenges come from outside the kingdom, not from within where God dwells. When we understand this truth, we face life's battles with confidence, knowing the victory is already assured. Perhaps most powerful is the enlarged speech—our words carrying God's commanding authority. Like the centurion who recognized Jesus' authority with "say the word and my servant will be healed," believers must recognize that our speech isn't common but saturated with God's Spirit. We don't need to worry about how or when God will fulfill His promises; we simply speak in faith and rest like children in His presence. Ready to experience uncommon increase? Stop searching for the kingdom elsewhere. Find it within, nurture it daily, and watch as God's power transforms every area of your life from the inside out.

Pastor Maxine Jogona pulls back the curtain on the divine pattern of "uncommon increase" that's changing lives at Parklands Baptist Church and beyond. The spiritual journey often feels mysterious, with some believers experiencing dramatic open doors while others seem to plateau despite their faithfulness. Pastor Maxine reveals that true spiritual growth follows a specific divine sequence that explains these differences. At the heart of uncommon increase lies three interconnected realities that work together to create sustainable spiritual elevation. First comes access—those supernatural open doors that appear when God begins moving in your life. Drawing from Psalm 100, Pastor Maxine explains how entering God's gates positions us for opportunities we couldn't create ourselves. But access alone isn't enough. The second reality—preservation—addresses why some believers enter new territories only to lose their footing. God's preservation ensures we don't merely visit new levels but become firmly established within them. Finally, advancement completes the cycle, preventing the spiritual plateaus that trap many believers who have found access and preservation but never push beyond their comfort zones. This message will transform how you view the open doors, sustained blessings, and ongoing challenges in your spiritual journey. If you've ever wondered why some breakthroughs seem temporary while others create permanent change, these three principles provide the framework you've been missing. Listen now to discover how access, preservation, and advancement work together to create lasting spiritual transformation in this season of uncommon increase.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1791754/open_sms] Have you ever felt defined by your past or trapped in painful circumstances that seem impossible to escape? The story of Jabez—a man whose very name meant "pain"—offers a powerful blueprint for breakthrough and transformation through bold prayer. In this soul-stirring message on uncommon increase, we explore how one man's refusal to accept limitation as his destiny led to divine intervention that completely changed his life. Drawn from the often-overlooked passage in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, we unpack three life-changing principles that can transform your approach to prayer and expectation: your past doesn't have to define your future, bold faith-filled prayers move God to action, and God specializes in turning pain into blessing. The journey of Jabez teaches us that supernatural multiplication happens when we approach God without fear or hesitation, bringing specific requests before Him with confidence. His simple yet profound prayer—asking God to bless him indeed, enlarge his territory, keep His hand upon him, and protect him from evil—provides a template for our own petitions for uncommon increase in every area of life. What are you trusting God for today? Whether you're seeking breakthrough in relationships, health, purpose, or provision, this message will inspire you to break free from the limitations of your circumstances and approach God with renewed boldness. Stop naming your problems and start claiming your breakthroughs! As you delight yourself in Him, God stands ready to grant the desires of your heart and give you the uncommon increase He has promised.

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1791754/open_sms] Have you ever felt defined by your past? The story of Jabez—a man whose very name meant "pain"—offers a powerful template for breaking free from limitation and experiencing divine enlargement.  This message unpacks how we can position ourselves for "Uncommon Increase" through four key strategies. First, by desiring and asking God boldly, refusing to settle for our current circumstances. Jabez approached God with radical honesty, requesting blessing and territorial expansion—and God granted his request. Similarly, we must come to God with specific, faith-filled requests rather than accepting our limitations. The second positioning strategy involves deliberately depending on God's hand and protection. As Psalm 127 reminds us, unless the Lord builds, we labor in vain. Our efforts for increase without divine involvement ultimately prove futile. When seeking expansion in resources, influence, or impact, we must acknowledge our need for God's guidance and covering. Third, we explore how trusting God for favor and enlargement activates divine response. Just as God transformed Jabez from pain to honor, He can change our circumstances dramatically when we approach Him with faith. Hebrews 11:6 teaches that God rewards those who earnestly seek Him—making faith the catalyst for uncommon increase. Beyond personal growth, the message addresses how parents can foster spiritual and holistic development in their children. Drawing from Luke 2:52, we examine how Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man—providing a perfect model for nurturing children who will experience their own uncommon increase. What territory are you asking God to enlarge today? What painful circumstances need divine transformation? As you position yourself through bold asking, dependence on God, and unwavering trust, prepare for the uncommon increase God has prepared for you.

Standing at the intersection of divine authorization and human receptivity, uncommon increase becomes available when we align ourselves with heaven's decree. Drawing from Isaiah 54:1-3, this powerful message reveals how God transforms barrenness into abundance through three essential movements: declaration, belief, and action. Like the barren woman commanded to sing before seeing evidence of children, we're invited to declare what God has already authorized. "My life will be a testimony of God's abundance" becomes more than wishful thinking—it's alignment with heaven's verdict that supersedes our current circumstances. As Job discovered, "You will declare a thing, and it will be established for you." But declaration alone isn't enough. We must make room for what God intends to do. "Enlarge, stretch, lengthen, strengthen"—these words of capacity-building echo throughout scripture, from Abraham who "against all hope, in hope believed" to the widow whose oil miracle was limited only by her available containers. Your limitations don't limit God's operations, but your capacity determines how much you can receive. Finally, we must walk in what God has declared. Like Abraham walking the length and breadth of his promised land, or David declaring victory before Goliath fell, our action becomes the enforcement mechanism for heaven's decree. The testimonies shared—from miraculous car provision to supernatural debt cancellation—demonstrate how God rewards active faith. As Africa faces economic challenges with 60% of Kenya's revenue consumed by debt, this message offers hope beyond natural solutions. The youth of this generation, like David facing Goliath, stand poised for increase that will make "15 million shillings pocket change" as they embrace these principles. Are you ready to enter a season of uncommon increase? Position yourself to receive what heaven has already authorized through declaration, belief, and decisive action. Your wilderness is about to become a place of fruit.
