‘Addition is Multiplication in God’s Kingdom’ and God has promised to add to
us what we need when we seek Him.

‘Seek’ refers to having a sense of earnestly coveting God’s way of doing things.
It is striving after God wholeheartedly without any regrets. It is craving for the
person of God.

We must hear God’s Word with our inner ear. We then are to protect and
nurture our heart which will multiply the substance or quality of the Word
received.
Matthew 13:23, NIV
2.
To increase spiritually and mentally, there must be a personal sacrifice of
what we want.
Matthew 13:44-46, NIV
Diligence is the key to God’s increase. We receive increase in what we are
willing to sacrifice and sow towards.
Galatians 6:9, NIV
1.
Diligence is an attitude which can’t be broken until it apprehends its
unquestionable desire.
Hebrews 11:6, KJV
2.
Diligence—is an inward attitude expressed first in a deep desire for an
intimate relationship with God. It is indicated that this is done by
worship…
Diligently seek—is to search out for or to have a craving for. It is a desire
for God that’s relentless.
Diligence will cause the pursuit of anything that we seek to be obtainable
if we remain faithful to our quest.
1 Chronicles 28:9, NIV, Jeremiah 29:13, NIV
 We must be willing to make sacrifices if we are to be increased by
God.
 A sacrifice is giving up something of value.
 A sacrifice will cost us but never without reward.
 We must be aggressive both mentally and emotionally if we are to
experience God.
 Aggressiveness is an attitude of determination.
 Aggressiveness pushes your spirit beyond the norm.
Mark 4:21-29, NIV
Conclusion:
‘Addition is Multiplication’ is really not a statement of truth in the natural but holds truth
when referenced with the Kingdom of God. God adds to our lives that we may increase
or multiply many times over mentally, spiritually, and physically. If we make sacrifices
and sow in the kingdom, we will increase consistently.
