LIFE
MORE ABUNDANT
Read: John
10:9-11, 9 I
am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and
out, and find pasture.
10 The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that
they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I
am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Bible
in one year: Genesis 24:62-26:35:
John
15:18-16:15, 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it
hated me before it hated you.
19 If
ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of
the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth
you.
20 Remember
the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If
they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my
saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But
all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know
not him that sent me.
22 If
I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no
cloak for their sin.
23 He
that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If
I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had
sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But
this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their
law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But
when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the
Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And
ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
16 These things have I spoken unto you, that
ye should not be offended.
2 They
shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever
killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And
these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor
me.
4 But
these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember
that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning,
because I was with you.
5 But
now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest
thou?
6 But
because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless
I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not
away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him
unto you.
8 And
when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment:
9 Of
sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of
righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of
judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I
have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
14 He
shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All
things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of
mine, and shall shew it unto you.
MESSAGE
God’s plan for His children is that they
do not become sick at all (3rd John 2). All through His years on
earth, our Lord Jesus Christ was never sick. If you believe in Him and fully
obey Him, it is possible for you to never be sick again. Sickness is alien to
God’s temple – your body. It is a stranger, an invader and a tool of the enemy.
John 10:10 says the mission of the devil is to steal, kill and destroy. He
wants to steal your health, kill your body and destroy you. But thank God, 1st
John 3:8 Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Every work of darkness
operating in your life shall be destroyed in Jesus’ Name.
Moreover, Jesus came to give life. The
life He came to give is not in limited measure, but at a level described as
being more than abundant. In other words, in superlative measure! Life is the
opposite of death. Any resemblance of death in you shall be uprooted now! The
life of Jesus gives includes physical life; hence, He can reverse the process
of death in a human body (Acts 9:39-41). It also includes spiritual life: He
imparts life to a spiritually dead fellow and is able to sustain this life
until He returns (1st Peter 2:24). This is how those who were once
sinners became saints and remain holy until they sleep in death or are caught
up in the rapture. Jesus also gives intellectual life. He can resurrect the
mental faculty of a dullard and turn the fellow into a genius (Acts 4:13). His
abundant life includes financial life: He makes the deeply impoverished to
become financially empowered (2nd Corinthians 8:9). The abundant life
restores health to the sick, makes the barren fruitful, changes the story of
the one covered with shame, gives beauty for ashes, joy to the sorrow-laden,
compassion to the neglected and so much more. It is capable of multiplying
provision of overflowing measure. Are you a beneficiary of the abundant life?
Any blessing to you have in limited measure can be made available to you
abundantly. This season, the abundant life that Jesus gives shall be your
portion! Reject anything that is less than the abundant life! Do everything
possible to live a life that is filled with God’s abundance!
Key
Point:
Although
Jesus has made all good things abundantly available, your faith will determine
the level of what you draw from it.
