Isa 54:2,3 โEnlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. For you will spread out to the right and to the left; your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.
In his message on the future glory of Zion ,Isaiah delivers the preparatory guide on what awaits the barren and desolate people . He tells them to “burst into singing you who never bore a child; burst into shouts of joy, who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband ,โ says the Lord. And because of the impending increase,they were expected to stretch their habitation and make wide their rooms to accommodate expansion.
An expansive prayer to God needs to be accompanied with an expansive mindset of expectancy and preparation to accommodate the desired increase . When a woman gets to know of her pregnancy situation ,changes are made in preparation of the coming visitor.
Expansive mindset is thinking that moves you beyond your immediate personal limitations and allows you to look at things from different perspective in preparation to usher in the world of non existence through faith. Stretch and lengthen your cord ,for your increase will spread to the x,y and z axis .
