A Little One Shall Become A Thousand

Reading Time: 2 minutes

By now we all know the scripture God gave us and are standing on it for manifestation. The little we know is all that is needed.

While meditating on this scripture, the Holy Spirit told me that this scripture also relates to the family.

Isa 60:22 (KJV) A little one shall become a thousand and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time

When we become truly united in the family, ‘our little’ becomes a thousand. God has designed it so that our interdependence with each other will produce far more than our individual effort, grace, anointing, strength, influence, and productivity.

In God’s arithmetic of marriage, one plus one never equals two. One Plus one equals three. It goes on and on until our one plus one equals ten and multiples of ten. It will always start with the little – husband and wife.

When husbands and wives walk in unity, bringing their unique ideas, graces, and anointing to the table, we don’t have a better idea, we have a completely new idea that is better than either the husband’s or wife’s initial idea.

Unity is not just sameness but complementary. You don’t have to be the same but complement one another. That’s humility and preferring one another to ourselves.

This is the atmosphere for thriving, blossoming, and flourishing. There is a powerful principle in the book Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. That’s the power of effective listening, first seek to hear before you are heard.

Effective listening brings unity which is necessary for us if our little is going to become a thousand.

Let’s work towards agreement in our marriages. The devil will challenge our agreement and unity. We should be wiser than the devil and not let go of the unity in our marriage. Our fight should be against the devil, for ourselves to defend ourselves.

How beautiful would it be if all marriages could strive and work at attaining this stage where they truly become a thousand?

Great victory will be won for the kingdom of God and great disaster done to the devil’s kingdom.
