The Year of Multiplication 2026

Introduction

The Lord has released over us the word that 2026 will be the year of multiplication.

Thus says the Lord God: *Yet in this I will be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase their people like a flock.* (Ezekiel 36:37)

God declares that He will multiply His people like a flock.

In this promise we see two principles that please God:

crying out and multiplication.

God desires to multiply, but He waits for someone to ask.

Multiplication is in the heart of God. Everything He created with life multiplies. From the beginning, God declared: Genesis 1:28 — Be fruitful and multiply.

The church grows in the same way. In Acts, we first see addition.

*Praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.* (Acts 2:47)

Then comes multiplication.

*And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.* (Acts 6:7)

In 2026, believe in the multiplication of your cell group, of your future network.

The Lord multiplied the loaves and the fish:

Loaves speak of provision.

Fish speak of lives.

God also desires to multiply the oil, a symbol of the anointing of the Spirit. There will be spiritual expansion, double anointing, and double honor.

*Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.* (Isaiah 61:7)

Talents will be multiplied, and new leaders, disciplers, hosts, and pastors will arise.

God multiplies what we have in our hands. He does not ask about what is lacking, but about what we already possess.

Value What You Have

The secret of multiplication is valuing what God has already entrusted to us—especially people.

Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” Then he said, “Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside.” So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another.” Then the oil stopped flowing. She came and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest.” (2 Kings 4:1–7)

The widow believed she had nothing, only a jar of oil, and that was exactly what God multiplied.

The anointing of multiplication begins when we recognize and surrender what we have. God does not multiply zero, but there is always something with which to begin.

What You Received Can Produce What Was Promised to You

The widow of Zarephath experienced multiplication when she gave what little she had.

In the same way, God asked Moses what he had in his hands, and that simple staff became the staff of God (Exodus 4).

God never asks for what we do not have.

He asks us to place in His hands what we already possess.

Conclusion:

Choose to trust the Lord regardless of circumstances.

Place on the Lord’s altar what you have.
