All that is mine is yours (III): Provision

Let’s look at the following verses:

Col 2:10, “Ye are complete in him (KJV); You have been filled in Him… You have everything in full in him (French versions)…”
Phil 4:19, "And my God shall supply ALL your needs according to his riches (which are immense) in glory in Christ Jesus."

Lc 15:31, “Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. »

Ps 37:4, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

Mat 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things (that you desire) will be added to you. »

Ja 4:2-4, “You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

Ps 84:11, “The Lord bestows favour and honour. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly”

Are you experiencing these promises in your life? Are ALL your needs supplied? Do you have EVERYTHING, IN FULL, in Him? If not, why?

Are you walking uprightly i.e. with integrity? Integrity is to be entirely true before men and GOD.

Are you always with the Father i.e. do you always stay in GOD’s presence? To remain in His presence in permanence, you must run away from sin – sin of intention and omission. Indeed, GOD’s hand is not short to save or provide and His ear is not shut from hearing; but our sins come between Him and us and prevent Him from granting our requests (Is 59:1-2).

Or maybe, you walk with integrity and stay in GOD’s presence, but you are just ignorant of the scope of your privileges as the brother of the prodigal son was?

Do you delight in the LORD? In other words, do you love Him with passion? If yes, how often do you speak to him every day, and for how long? How often do you open His love letter to you –the Bible– to enjoy what He has written? Do you go about your daily activities waiting impatiently for the blessed moment when the two of you will meet again face-to-face? While you are seated in church, do you find your friends’ messages on social medias more interesting than whatever GOD is saying through the sermon or Praise and Worship? Do you really ‘enjoy’ GOD as if He was a delectable meal?

Or you are so filled with the love of world and the things that are in the world that the superior interests of the Kingdom matter less –you always ask in order to satisfy your multiple passions/lusts: a car; a trip; the latest iPhone or Samsung; a designer handbag or pair of shoes, which costs three times your salary?

Perhaps as well, you do not ask because you are totally satisfied with your present condition?

There is no point hiding away from the truth. If you really want to live life more abundantly, you need to prayerfully ask yourself those questions and steer your life according to what the Holy Spirit will show you. Brother, sister, Church of the Living GOD, the ball is in your camp!

Have a great week and GOD bless you!
