John 1:14 (Amplified Bible)
1:14 And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate) and tabernacled (fixed His tent of flesh, lived awhile) among us; and we [actually] saw His glory (His honor, His majesty), such glory as an only begotten son receives from his father, full of grace (favor, loving-kindness) and truth.
Ephesians 3:20 (Amplified Bible)
3:20 Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—
Philippians 2:13 (Amplified Bible)
2:13 [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.
Philippians 4:13 (Amplified Bible)
4:13 I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].

VII. EXPLICATION:

B. Date written: 973 B.C.
C. To whom written: Nation of Israel
D. Keyword: David
E. Main theme: Reign of David
F. Keyverses:
2 Samuel 5:12 (Amplified Bible)
And David perceived that the Lord had established him king over Israel and that He had exalted his kingdom for His people Israel’s sake.
2 Samuel 7:12-13 (Amplified Bible)
And when your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up after you your offspring who shall be born to you, and I will establish his kingdom.
He shall build a house for My ame [and My Presence], and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Like David became greater and greater, we will also grow the same
"David became greater and greater,"
As righteous people we hold to the ways of the LORD, as we do this, the requirements are done and the promise is we will grow stronger and stronger.
Job 17:9 (Amplified Bible)
17:9 Yet shall the righteous (those upright and in right standing with God) hold to their ways, and he who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.
Proverbs 4:18 (Amplified Bible)
4:18 But the path of the [uncompromisingly] just and righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines more and more (brighter and clearer) until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day [to be prepared].
Philippians 2:15 (Amplified Bible)
2:15 That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish (faultless, unrebukable) in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation [spiritually perverted and perverse], among whom you are seen as bright lights (stars or beacons shining out clearly) in the [dark] world,
Matthew 5:14 (Amplified Bible)
5:14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Our growth : spiritual, physical and financial is much infinitely better than that of King David's because we live in the New testament of Free Grace through faith. King Solomon's growth in the financial is only based on the faithfulness of his father, King David, but our growth in everything is based on the LORD JESUS's faithfulness.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (Amplified Bible)
2:8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;
2:9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]
2 Corinthians 9:8 (Amplified Bible)
9:8 And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].
B. The LORD GOD is with us
"for the Lord God of hosts was with him"
Romans 8:31 (Amplified Bible)
8:31 What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side?]
Psalms 118:6 (Amplified Bible)
118:6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?
Isaiah 9:7 (Amplified Bible)
9:7 Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the [latter] time forth, even forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Hebrews 1:8 (Amplified Bible)
1:8 But as to the Son, He says to Him, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever (to the ages of the ages), and the scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of absolute righteousness (of justice and straightforwardness).
Psalms 46:7 (Amplified Bible)
46:7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our Refuge (our Fortress and High Tower). Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
The LORD GOD is with us, not only so, but also within us, so His Presence can accomplish greater things in us.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You live and tabernacled with us permanently that's why we can do greater things than what You have done because You live within us and accomplishes things for us.
