WIC 2026 (Plenary 6) 6th November, 2026: Topic: Enlarge the place of your tent

Preacher: Apostle Sunday Popoola

Text: “A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?”

And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those vessels, and set aside the full ones.”

“So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured it out. Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”

II Kings 4:1-7 NKJV

“Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left, And your descendants will inherit the nations, And make the desolate cities inhabited.”

Isaiah 54:2-3 NKJV

When you are not spiritually sound in the world, you are a victim because your life is controlled by a realm where you have no input.

“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.” Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?”

So Satan answered the Lord and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing? Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.”
Job 1:6-12 NKJV

Job was not aware of this conversation in the spirit realm.

The second day was a consequence of an interplay of power in the realm of the spirit.

Only people who have their roots in God can say no or yes to certain things that will happen on earth.

Coming to church doesn’t make you a Christian. When you genuinely connect to God, the spirit of God does something to your spirit.

The first ground of your enlargement is spiritual enlargement.

If only in this world you have hope, then you are a miserable person.

Satan is still in the business of going to and fro. If he hasn’t come to you, he is still coming.

If your covering is breakable, it takes one demon to destroy it. Make your container God, it cannot break.
Every enlargement outside God is exposed to demons and will bring instant destruction.

Have quality time with God everyday in the Word, prayer, meditation and worship because as you behold him in a mirror, you go from glory to glory.

You are enlarging your spiritual capacity and the place of your dwelling when you spend quality time with God daily.
Take residency in the Word.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2 NKJV

Your life will be meaningless and miserable unless you fulfill the purpose for which God created it.

““Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.””
Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV

You came loaded, prepared to fulfill a beautiful purpose.
You have no comparison. God did not mass produce you. You are wonderfully and fearfully made.
You are unique and you must value yourself in God.

God created you with a beautiful purpose. It is when you fulfill it then you go into eternity fulfilled.
Life does not end here, it begins here.

Enlarge your dwelling place in God.
“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
I Corinthians 1:9 NKJV

Enlarge the place of your spirituality. Find time for your most important call.

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
Matthew 6:31-34 NKJV

Pursue God and prosperity will pursue you.

He is a fool who keeps what he cannot keep to get what he cannot keep.

The devil doesn’t have the final say over your life. God does.
God wants you to enjoy his blessings. When you commit to God, you enjoy his blessings.

Pay attention to your spiritual life.

Enlarge the place of your tent because if your tent is not big, you will have no place to contain the blessing.
