What needs strengthening in you as you prepare to carry responsibility?
ENLARGE MY CAPACITY
Lengthen the cords. Strengthen the stakes.
Open the approved poster at full size Why this matters
Capacity is more than how much activity fits into a week. It includes spiritual depth, character, competence, resilience and the ability to carry responsibility without losing the supports that make faithful service possible.
Isaiah 54:2 uses the image of a tent: “Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes” (KJV). In its prophetic context, the passage speaks hope to Zion in the promise of restoration. TBN uses the picture as a contemporary prayerful application: expansion and strengthening belong together. It is not a guarantee of material increase.
Lengthening the cords suggests making room; strengthening the stakes asks whether prayer, character, relationships and disciplines can support what we hope to carry. The two-part Monday rhythm begins with Prayer in the Spirit and preparation, then moves into corporate prayer and worship. Participation details must come through the current approved route; this page does not invent a venue or online platform.
