God of Sufficiency

 

Text: 2 Corinthians 3:5 (KJV)

 

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.

 

Have you ever thought about the capacity of God? He is all sufficient and meets our needs according to the abundance of His riches; His capacity is big enough for an overflow. He is the Almighty and can supply in excess all the needs of man at the same time; He is more than enough. He never runs dry or low from the storehouse because he is the creator of the universe and even to the generation unborn because their resources are available in excess. What a great God!!Romans 11:33- O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! On our own, we can honestly do nothing, so all we have to do is to lean on his abundant provision to live a stress-free life. We must entirely depend on Jesus. Without Him, we have nothing, but with Him, we have everything. Just go to Him with that assurance that He is the supplier of all needs, even the power to overcome sin.

 

Jeremiah 10:23- O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.We are struggling because we depend on ourselves, but our sufficiency should be from the Lord. Every other thing will be added to those who seek Him. God is the one working and not us. If you think that your capacity is sufficient for you, then, just know that you are about to experience a complete error or should I say failure. We are in a world filled with diversity of challenges, but the privilege we have is in Christ, because he has done it all and has made the vital resources of living available to us. Abiding in the vine is our guarantee for living. The life of Christ is imputed in us. The strategy of following Christ is going where He goes and departing where He has departed. 2 Corinthians 9:8- And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. God’s provision also includes grace which overflows towards all dimensions of life.  He can pour a blessing on you that will overflow to the extent that you will not have enough room to store it. That lifestyle you are struggling to control is a past concern by His excess grace, so just allow Him to make all your weakness perfect.

 

PRAYER POINT:

1.      Lord, may we know You again as to rely on His universally provided platform of sufficiency as to enjoy life to it fulness , in Jesus name

ACTION QUOTE: Friends, learn to choose God’s way for living rather than man’s hard way.
