Increase Part 4: The Zeal of God
An increase should happen in everyone’s lives. Increases may take place in small increments, but there should never be a decrease as long as you see an increase. Those who have increased diligently obey the voice of the Lord. In Deuteronomy 28:1-4, the level of increase does not only mean to be set on high but to be above all. Don’t just settle for set on high.
For religious or self-righteous people, the zeal of the Lord can’t operate because we have to be free and not bound for it to work. They are only in an earthly/fleshly realm. The Roman church lacked a correct understanding of the worship God wanted. The Roman church also had a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge (lacked the correct understanding). Apostle Paul taught them that they did not submit to the righteousness of God, they sought to establish their own righteousness, and this is a religious spirit, not a true believer. Apostle Paul also taught that we can be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all wisdom and understanding (which are three of the seven spirits of God). Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding are needed for the zeal of the Lord.

The Zeal of the Lord: The Fulfillment of Obedience
The zeal of the Lord is to have a passionate dedication between you and the Lord. You can’t be religious to have the zeal of the Lord. There are three keys we need in order to have the zeal of the Lord and that’s obedience, righteousness, and knowledge. David charged his son Solomon and Solomon had to prove himself a man and to keep and obey the ways of the Lord. To talk in His ways means to obey Him and His word. Every defeat in our lives happened because we didn’t obey Him and His word. For example, if something isn’t prospering it’s dying and we can’t be afraid to prosper.
Every word God has spoken we want it to be fulfilled through our obedience and we have to take heed to our way and to walk before Him in truth with all our heart and with all our soul. Obedience is submission to God’s word and our actions reveal our thoughts. We have to hear the word and do the word if we are only hearers then we are deceiving ourselves.
In 2 Corinthians 10:1-6 Overseer, Prophet Powell, Sr. taught us five steps we must do to have a zeal for the Lord and to fulfill obedience which are pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments (knowing our weaknesses) and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and lastly being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
