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 Heaven for Yesterday 16 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. open heavens 15 January 2018. 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. open heavens 15 January 2018. 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.”

The only situation that can prevent you from benefiting from the self-imposed poverty of the Lord Jesus Christ is your refusal to accept Him as your Lord and Saviour, and your refusal to walk by His principles. I pray for you today that the abundance riches of God in Christ Jesus will be your portion in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer point’
Father, please meet me at the points of my need today according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
