Heaven 12 September 2021 Topic: The God of Abundance
MEMORISE: And God blessed them, saying, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply
in the earth. Genesis 1:22
READ: Genesis 1:20-23 (KJV)
20 And God said,
Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and
fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created
great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth
abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw
that it was good.
22 And God blessed
them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and
let fowl multiply in the earth.
23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
BIBLE
IN ONE YEAR: Luke 11:1-54, Luke 12:1-59
Open Heaven 12 September 2021 MESSAGE:
Our God is not just the God of creation; He is also the God
of abundance. When God creates, He does not do so sparingly. He is still in the
business of creation, according to John
5:17 which says:
“…My Father worketh hitherto, and
I work…”
This is why the provision He made
in the universe has not been exhausted. An end has come to every form of
un-fruitfulness and lack in your life today, in Jesus name. Our God is also the
God of variety He created both great and small in different forms. This
knowledge must have informed Apostle Paul’s assurance to the Philippians that
the Almighty God would supply all their need according to His riches in glory
by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19 ).

Another lesson we could learn
from today’s reading is that God blessed His handwork to be fruitful and to
multiply. We can thus see how foolish anyone would be if he or she agrees with
the devil that God hates him or her. Our God is interested in the prosperity of
His people. The Psalmist understood this and wrote:
Open Heaven 12 September 2021 – OPEN HEAVEN FOR TODAY
“… Let the Lord be magnified,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.” Psalm 35:27
Nobody cares about us more than
God. His care, mercy and love are incomparable. Jesus said in John 15:13
“Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Romans 8:32 also says He that spared not his own Son, but
delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all
things? This is why He said in Luke
12:31
“But rather seek ye the kingdom
of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
In light of the above therefore,
trust God for all you need in life because His name is Jehovah-Jireh (The Lord
our Provider). Do not cut corners to be rich; if you do, this would have grave
consequences. May the God of abundance meet all your needs this season, in
Jesus name.
Open Heaven 12 September 2021 KEY POINT:
Father, please
meet me at the point of my needs today, according to Your riches in glory by
Christ Jesus.
Open Heaven 12 September 2021 HYMN: WHEN UPON LIFE’S BILLOWS YOU ARE
TEMPEST TOSSED,
1.
When upon life’s billows you are tempest
tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
CHORUS
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
Count your blessings,
see what God hath done;
Count your blessings,
name them one by one;
Count your many blessings,
see what God hath done.
1.
. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, ev’ry doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.
2.
When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings, money cannot buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
3.
So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
