‘ But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus’ - Philippians 4:19
Stop focusing on your lack or weaknesses. Instead, focus on what you already have, however small it is. When you focus on your lack, your anxiety and fear increases; you lose hope and deplete your faith. As children of God, we do not lack anything because Jesus Christ already purchased for us everything we would need in life, as well as eternal life combined. This is basic Christian teaching which you must hold onto at all times. But we require faith to enable us to access the promises of God. Often time, we affirm the truth of these promises without actually believing in them. And if we don’t believe, we cannot act on them. God wants us to open His storehouse by Faith. He wants us to have His abounding GRACE! By the way, reminding us of the need for faith does not make it easier to exercise faith! However, we can learn to use Faith by doing the following:
- ONE Stop looking at what you do not have. Instead, focus on Jesus and all the abounding grace that he purchased for you already. -TWO Begin to do everything humanly possible to get at your goals. When you do that, believe in your heart that your victory is assured. - THREE, give with radical generosity. It is in giving that we are richly blessed. Give willingly of time and resources. The measure you give is the measure you get. The word of God is telling you today to focus on Jesus and the promises of God. In Jesus, all Grace abound to us so that having sufficiency in all things at all times, we may abound in every good work.
