Welcome to the Month of September Saints…...is still our year of Spreading……. Glory to God! READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL NO LACK OR WANT – PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST 2016.
But my God shall supply all
your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)
Paul understood the message
of the new creation; notice that he didn’t say, “My God shall supply all our
need….” He knew that the new creation isn’t in lack or want; the new creation
doesn’t need to be “supplied”; he’s the supplier! Romans 8:17 says we’re heirs
of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. Paul, with this understanding, said to the
spiritually immature, “But my God shall supply all your need….”
When you’ve come of age,
you’ll realize that in Christ, we don’t have any unmet needs. Matthew 6:33
says, “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.” When you seek the Kingdom of God first, every
good thing you could ever wish for would be added to your life, without you
having to ask. You won’t need to try to be happy, fulfilled or triumphant in
life; you won’t need to pursue the things that the Gentiles seek: fame, money,
recognition, acceptance, etc.; they shall be added unto you.
This doesn’t mean that
after you’ve first sought and got the Kingdom of God, then you can go and seek
other things; no. Seek the Kingdom, and you’ll get the rest of them combined.
You may say, “Yeah, that’s why I’m seeking the Kingdom of God.” No, don’t seek
anymore; you already found it, if you’re born again; you’re already in the
Kingdom, and the Kingdom is in you (Luke 17:21). To have the Kingdom is to have
all things. Glory to God!
Don’t look at what you may
consider a need; look at what He’s lavishly made available to you in Christ.
You were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ; that means you’ve
been brought into oneness, partnership or family-union with Jesus Christ (1
Corinthians 1:9). If this is true (and it is true), what in the world could you
ever be in need of? Affirm God’s Word in your life; He has said all things are
yours; declare the same, because truly, there’s nothing you require that hasn’t
been provided in Christ. Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I testify that all things
are mine! I lack nothing, because the Lord is my sufficiency; He makes me lie
down in green pasture; He leads me beside the still waters! His divine power
has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness. Glory to His Name
forever!
Further Study: || 2 Peter
1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that [pertain]
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to
glory and virtue: ||
|| Psalm 34:10 The young
lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want
any good [thing]. ||
|| 1 Corinthians 3:21-22
Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul,
or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or
things to come; all are yours; ||
