GOD OF ABUNDANCE – Wednesday
January 17th 2018
Memorise: But my God
shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Read: Luke 5:1-7 (KJV)
5:1 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed
upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
5:2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but
the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
5:3 And he entered into one of the ships, which
was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land.
And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto
Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
5:5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we
have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I
will let down the net.
5:6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a
great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
5:7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which
were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and
filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
Bible in one year:
Genesis 36-37, Revelation 16, Hymnal: Sing hymn 13
The Lord revealed Himself to us as the God of abundance by declaring
these profound words about Himself in Psalm 50:9-10:
“I will take no bullock out of
thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. For every beast of the forest is
mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.”
Having experience the reality of this truth, Apostle Paul, in Philippians
4:19, panned those words to bear witness to the Lord’s capacity as
the God of abundance:
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus.”
Through this scripture, the Holy Spirit also reveals to us that Jesus
Christ is the channel through whom the abundance of God is made accessible. Open heavens 12 January 2018. Why
is this so? For you to understand the reason why, you need to know that Jesus
Christ is the Living Word through whom all things were created. Hebrews 1:2
says this concerning Him:
“Hath in these last days spoken
unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also
he made the worlds;”
This means that the earth and the fullness of it are His handwork –
the handwork of the Word who became flesh (John 1:1-14). We can therefore get nothing in
this world except through the Owner of it all.

. The story in our Bible text
demonstrates that this material world is indeed at the disposal of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Peter had toiled all night long, but he caught nothing in his
fishing net. However, when the God of abundance released His word, there was a
great catch.
Beloved, what are those needs that have been bothering your mind?
Tell it to Jesus today. He is the God of abundance, and He is capable of
meeting you at the points of your need.

. When He came into this world, He
decided to become poor in your place so that His riches may come to you. The
Bible, in 2nd
Corinthians 8:9, says,
“For ye know the grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be rich.”
Prayer point’
Father, please meet me
at the points of my need today according to your riches in glory by Christ
Jesus.

wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our
eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the
Ancient of Days
Almighty, victorious, Thy great
name we praise.
2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as
light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou
rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high
soaring above
Thy clouds which are fountains of
Goodness and love.
3. To all life Thou givest, to both
great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life
of all;
We bloosom and flourish as leaves
on the tree,
And wither and perish, but nought
Changeth Thee.
4. Great Father of Glory, pure
Father of Light.
Thine angels adore Thee, all
Veiling their sight
All laud we would render, O
help us to see:
‘Tis only the splendor of light
hideth Thee

In light inaccessible hid from

Most blessed, most glorious, the
