Last year we learned that we are
complete in Christ. We are perfect and whole. He is above all
principalities and powers and therefore we are too. We needn't fear
anything. Jesus is King of all kings and Lord of all Lords and His
Father is supreme in position. So what do we have to fear as part
of their family? Nothing. Not only needn't we fear anything, God
says He will provide for us:
"And my God shall supply
all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ
Jesus." Philippians 4:19
"For the Lord God is a sun and
shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing
will He withhold from those who walk uprightly." Psalm
84:11
"But without faith it is impossible
to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and
that He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek
Him." Hebrews 11:6
Isn't this good news? God, the Most
High, will supply in all your needs. Notice it doesn't say if He
feels like it, or if He has enough resources, it says He
will. He will withhold no good thing, for He is the
rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He is standing with open
arms, ready to supply in all your needs. You see the problem
doesn't lie with whether God wants to or whether God first needs to
assess whether you are good enough or not. No. The problem lies
with us unfortunately.
Hebrews 11:6 above states why the
problem lies with us. It says that we must come with faith and
truly believe that He can reward us. We must diligently seek Him
and believe the right thing. In His Kingdom there is abundance. In
His Kingdom is more than enough. And we have a loving King, Who is
not only the King, but your Father too. He wants to care
for you, He really does. But if we do not realise that we are part
of His Kingdom already we will rush around frantically in this
world and try and solve the problem ourselves. If we do not realise
that we have access to the Universe's finances, we will stress and
worry and rush to the banks to help us.
My friend, realise who you are. You
are not of this world anymore. Stand up in your anointing and
authority. Rush to your Father first thing when you have a problem.
Ask His advice and follow that. Do what He says you must do. This
is important. Because you cannot over extend yourself with debt on
things you don't really need and live a lavish lifestyle beyond
your means and then just think you can sit back and let God solve
it for you. That is not Kingdom living. Kingdom living is living
with His principles in your life, doing what His Spirit leads you
to do and then to trust in Him that everything will work out. If
you do that, you can truly trust in Him. He is our God
Almighty.
Stop trying to do everything
yourself. Stop relying on your own wisdom. It is like grabbing onto
straw; it will break and wither when any amount of pressure is
exerted upon it. Your efforts will amount to nothing, except
frustration. Give over to God, trust Him, have faith that He CAN
and that He WANTS to. His Word tells us that and His Word is always
faithful and true. All glory to Him.
Thank you Father that You look
after us. Thank you that we can give our lives into Your hands,
especially at the start of a new year with new challenges. Thank
you that we can go through this life without stress or worry. You
are looking out for us. We want to follow Your advice and Godly
principles in our finances and our lives as a whole. Speak clearly
to us, we are listening. Amen
