I've been listening to the program called THE ELEVEN FORGOTTEN LAWS and it's all about seeing God manifest through us. Now this devotional said the very same thing. Is God trying to tell me something??????
See
The Abundance Within You
|
|
When
you were younger, were you often scolded for not finishing all your food or
leaving the lights and fan on when you left your room? Were you constantly
reminded that there are people starving in the world, that electricity costs a
lot of money and that money doesn’t grow on trees? Now, do you find yourself
telling your child the same things? |
|
We
are naturally conscious of lack, but Jesus isn’t. Even in the midst of lack, He
was always conscious of abundance. Remember the little boy’s five loaves and two
fish? What did Jesus do when these were placed in His hands? Did He say, “What
do you expect Me to do with so little?” No, His eyes were not on the natural,
the visible, the lack. His eyes were on the kingdom of God where there is always
abundance. So in His hands, the little boy’s lunch was multiplied, and 5,000
men, not counting women and children, were fed that day! (John 6:1–13) |
|
God
doesn’t want you to be conscious of the lack in your natural circumstances. He
doesn’t want you to live by how much you earn or how much you have in the bank.
Now, I am not encouraging you to spend foolishly beyond your means. I am saying
that God wants you to be conscious of the abundance of resources in His
kingdom. |
|
“But Pastor Prince, where is that kingdom?” |
|
As
long as you have received Jesus as your Savior, that kingdom is in
you! |
|
Jesus
said that “the kingdom of God is within you”. This means that the kingdom of God
is not some physical place. It is within you and it is where the abundance of
resources is. So if you want to experience abundance in your life, be conscious
first of the abundance inside you. Then, what is inside you will become a
reality on the outside. |
|
Beloved,
God doesn’t want you to be conscious of the lack you see outside you. He wants
you to be conscious of the abundance within you because His kingdom is within
you! |
