To all the saints of God all over the world who, though carried the covenant of God, yet suffer like the woman in Luke 13:11-16 (a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound). May the revelation of God’s word open you up to your inheritance in Christ Jesus.
To my own Father in Faith, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, you are a Father with a large hearth. May the Lord be your reward. (Thanks for giving me the platform to discover and teach the truth).
To Mrs Margret Omonale Oke, you are a Mother of rare worth. May you truly increase.
To Olubusola, my own increase, may we live to fulfil God’s purpose on earth.
To all who are tired of their personal state and desire to increase. May this book unveil the reality of your desires.
To the one who alone can give increase; THE ALMIGHTY GOD.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I can’t thank enough my Spiritual Father—Bishop Francis Wale Oke, for the platform of trust given to me by him to shepherd the flock of Christ under his Spiritual Leadership and tutellage. Sir words of mouth can’t appreciate you enough. You are indeed a Father.
Rev Niyi Adebayo, National Coordinator, Campus Outreach Mission. How do I really appreciate you!
You have been there any time and every time. You have proven to me, and many other saints, that God is good. You are my elder brother in the faith and I would be forever be grateful to God for making our path to ever cross. You have been of tremendous blessings and help. Thanks for being there sir.
To the flocks of Christ under my trust and leadership at Christ Life Church, Ogbomosho, I want to say thank you and the lord really prosper you. Though I have been a campus fellowship leader and Assistant Pastor for some years, you were my first fruits in church pastoral responsibility in the full time. I really enjoyed my time with you. The time I spent with you were seasons never to be forgotten. I enjoyed every bit of your cooperation and support. Thanks a million time.
I want to appreciate Damilola Farombi and my lovely wife who worked tirelessly on the typesetting of the work. Ola Daboiku, your incessant request when the book is going to be published has added fuel to the passion that hastens the work. The Lord bless you mightily. To leaders who for one reason or the other I can’t mention your name to appreciate you. I say thank you to you all.
To my editors, Jumoke Okelola and Temidayo Akinrinlola, I say a big thank you.
PREFACE
I bless the name of the Lord for the opportunity to put this book together. It all started as my teaching (sermon) outlines for the church I pastor (Christ Life Church Intl., Ogbomosho, Oyo state) under the leadership of my spiritual Father, Bishop Francis Wale Oke.
Our theme for the month of February had been DIVINE INCREASES Psalm 115:14. I began to develop these teaching outlines to bless the flock of Christ under my trust.
Gradually, I began to discover the God of increase myself. I began to see clearly than before that God delights in my increase and not just an increase, His desire to increase me more and more, me and my children Psalm 115vs14.
After the last Sunday Service in February, we did a comprehensive revision of all we had learnt and prayed that the teachings would find literal expression in our lives. I went home thanking God for the revelation of His word and the confirmation of His word in the lives of His people. For surely the people of God did have testimonies. Not quite long, the Lord spoke to my heart to do a compilation of the teachings and put it together as a book to bless His people and here it is in your hand. It is a book written in obedience to God’s instruction.
I have no doubt in my heart that this book in your hand will not only open your eyes to the secrets of divine increase, but also place you under a divine covenant for divine increase. That you are holding this book is certainly not by accident, much prayers have gone ahead of this book and for the readers that their eyes of understanding be enlightened and that through the use of this book, life would be imparted to the readers and grace be given unto you to walk in divine increase.
The book is written in such a simple way to help you take a step-by-step approach to your desired increase. Questions, prophetic blessings and prayer points start and end each chapter so that you can pause and find time to seek God personally for your life.
This book is not just another one to be bought and thrown into the shelf. No, please ensure you read each chapter and hold on to every word of God as stated in this book, including the prophetic words. Confess them, believe them and find time to pray each word into reality into your life.
Don’t just regard it as one of the books. Take it serious, carefully tackle all the prayer points and watch your life take a flight to increase.
I have no doubt in my heart that if you do according to this word of instruction, you will testify to the goodness of the God of increase.
I am eager to hear your testimony.

INTRODUCTION
The uniqueness of God is eternal, but the truth remains that not every one that claims to know God actually does. Apostle Paul, after several walk and exploits with God, had one major prayer "that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection
