The All-Sufficient God

READ: Phil. 4: 10-19
MORE LESSONS: Gen. 22: 1-18
Bible Reading in One Y ear: Deuteronomy 20-22

And my God will meet all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus: Phil 4:19. We serve a God who is more than enough. The reason God can confidently tell you He will supply all your needs is because He is confident that the source of His resources is inexhaustible. I can't imagine any wealthy man on earth who can volunteer that anyone with a need should come to him for the need to be met. For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine: Ps 50:10-11 (NKJV). The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell there in: Psa. 24:1. Jehovah is the owner of the entire universe; His assets are unlimited. No child of God should be living in poverty because the earth and its fullness belong to God, your Father. A child of a rich man can only be poor if he is ignorant of what his father has or if he does not have a proper relationship with his father.
We have to know that Jehovah is a God of principles. He has His codes of conduct and He will not do anything outside or against His Word. We should not be ignorant of the principles of our Father so that we won't be living in poverty when all His wealth could be available to us. Every action of God is a determined response to a principle in His Word. Give and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back: Lk. 6:38 (NLT). If you want to partake of the outpouring of God's blessing, you have to be a giver.
There are principles of faith that govern healing, salvation and righteousness, but when it comes to the outpouring of financial blessing, the only principle is giving. There is no outpouring upon a man who is tight fisted against Jehovah because God's principle is that if you give you will receive. Financial prosperity is about sowing and reaping a harvest. Paul’s prayer for the Philippians was a response to their life of sacrificial giving to ensure that their pastor did not lack as noted in verses 14-16. So anyone who must claim such prayers today must also have such testimony of the Philistine church and no doubt the harvest will follow.

Prayer/Action
* Ask God for the spirit of a giver and an end to being tight fisted
* Ask God to remember your offerings and sacrifices today.
* Rebuke every spirit and agent of poverty over your life.
* Ask that the windows of heaven be opened upon you from today.
