A Life without Lack

Thursday 20 August
READ: Psa. 23:1-6
MORE LESSON: Phil 4: 19

The Psalmist made a boast in the Lord that I want you to retain in your consciousness. He said, The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want: Psa. 23: 1. He was more or less beating his chest in confidence that because he had God as his provider, his provision was sure. How can a man have Elshaddai, the All-Sufficient One as his God and be living in lack? Lack is against the nature of God. Have you ever seen a poor son of a president before? Never. A father's position automatically puts the son to an advantaged position. God your Father has the highest position; today I want you to reject any position that is contrary to His. As a child of the King with vast resources you cannot continue to live with meagre means. I want you to reject lack in your thought, mind and consciousness. Reject it in the place of prayer.

Wealth is a position and poverty is a position. By your relationship with the Possessor of Heaven and earth, your position has changed. Poverty is a state of mind that leads to a state of being before it materialises in your physical environment. Wealth also is a consciousness that leads to a state of being that also materialises in your life and environment. It is that consciousness that the God is communicating to you in Psalm 23:2-3, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Your well-being is linked to your confidence in your relationship with God. This is the secret of wealth; a confidence in your relationship with the wealthy God, which guarantees you a wealthy life.

God wants you to make progress from that state of poverty to the state of abundance. He has everything you need to make that progress. But he wants you to believe in Him and His ability to supply your needs. Some people believe that God can save them from their sin but they do not see Him as their source of financial sustenance, so whenever they have a need, their minds explore all alternatives except trust in God. Today, God is asking you to take your place as a son of a wealthy God. Trust God and not men; do not even put your trust in your salary and income even though it is God that gave you that job. Stay open for God to bless you in whatever way He chooses; don't always go around begging, borrowing and taking overdraft: talk to your Father and trust Him. He will come through for you. You have a wealthy Father, choose to rely on Him for supplies and blessing. As you put your trust in God for supplies, from today, you will live a life without lack.
