GOD OF PLENTY
Everyone has some drawbacks in life. In every department or ministry or business or research or measurement we come across errors everywhere. No man can say that he has not committed any mistake. In many places so called servants of God, act like God. Every human being has some short coming in life. “But when that which is perfect is come then that which is in part shall be done away”. (1 cori 13:10)
JESUS is sufficient for all of us. Where there is a need, JESUS will come to supply the need. The children of Israel walked through the barren desert with six lakhs men, women and children. God provided to the lakhs of people drinking water. He filled their stomachs with manna. He provided sufficient quails as a sweet delicious food. God met their boarding needs. He led them with the cloud by day and pillar of fire at night. God went before them (Exo 33:14). According to this verse, God went before them. “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Ps 121:4). My friend JESUS will come to supply your need. He I will solve the water scarcity, shortages in food. When JESUS the fullness goes before us then all our wants will be met marvellously by Him.
At the marriage of Cana of Galilee, when there was shortage of wine, an important item in a wedding functions. Because JESUS and His disciples were invited for the wedding, the shortage of wine was solved by JESUS performing a miracle. Today in many marriages they see the horoscope, good time, auspicious day, a good month and follow all the devilish customs but finally print a verse like this. This is the Lord’s doing, Is this not a lie? When we fail to honour JESUS in a wedding, then satan will be there. After that they will say brother, somebody has kept witchcraft against us. If we would have given prime importance to JESUS then satan cannot be there, let us not act as good Christians before others. JESUS knows your heart. JESUS will watch as to how we honour him (Mt 6:33). Jesus the generous God should be the first invitee in every little thing we do, we should gladly whole heartedly invite Him. Then He will solve all our shortages or needs that arise.
Wherever JESUS went about He supplied the people’s need. Jesus went to the house of Jairus and raised the dead daughter to life. JESUS went to the grave of Lazarus who was dead and buried. JESUS brought Lazarus to life on the fourth day. A woman who was suffering from the issue of blood for twelve years was healed when she touched the hem of His garment she was healed. Silver coin came from fish mouth enabled JESUS and Peter to pay their taxes. Are you in need of money, JESUS will supply your need. Are you struggling to meet your requirements? Are you lamenting because the medicines have not cured you completely? Are you broken because none has helped you in this situation? Why not you invite JESUS to help you to come out of your crises. JESUS knows your problem. Once I had gone with my team to a place to do His work, in the morning I noticed that I have forgotten to bring my towel. At that time a brother from Madurai came to see me. Before he commenced the conversation, he presented a towel to me. My need at that time was only towel. My friend God will never allow us to be in want. He knows what is our need and supply it according to His riches in glory by Christ JESUS” (Phil 4:19).
In the ministry we need finance to keep the wheels of Gospel work going, souls to be saved. God’s power to be manifested we need the gift of the Holy Spirit to manifest. For the above requirements we need to invite JESUS to your ministry. He will make crooked paths straight. The ups and downs will be set right. God will be in the ministry, we see in St Mark 16:20 that God was with them in the ministerial journey, For the ministry to continue till His coming, we need His blessing to do His ministry victoriously. We need JESUS who is the giver of fullness in our everyday life.
May JESUS, the generous giver meet all our needs. May He crown us with fullness always.
Amen.
