When God gives you a promise He expects you to walk by faith. Understand that it is by faith that we inherit the promises of God. When you have a word from God, your words and your actions must show that you believe whatever God has said, and that they will come to pass.
For instance, I stopped taking attendance in fellowship because God has promised to increase us; I only recognise first timers. I learned that from David: 1 Chronicles 27:23 says, "But David did not take the number of those twenty years old and under, because the LORD had said He would multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens."
If God said He would multiply you as the stars of the heavens, then it doesn't matter if you are a thousand now, don't see the thousand, you must begin to see your congregation as many as the stars of the heavens and minister to them as if you are ministering to a multitude! Don't arrange chairs for only a thousand, put seats for the new people God will bring! And if possible, move to a venue that can accommodate a multitude!
Has God said He would prosper you? Then you need to stop acting as if the money in your account is all that you have! Stop making plans based on the amount in your account! If God gave you what's in your account now, He surely can give you more! Leave sufficient room for divine inflows! Create abundant space for the miraculous! Trust the Lord to supply the balance! Walk by faith and not by sight!
