Where do you think God will source the resources to meet your needs?

“Giving thanks unto the Father...who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” - Colossians 1:12-13 If you find yourself struggling financially despite the Bible’s promises of prosperity and all the prayers you’ve offered, consider this: Where do you think God will source the resources to meet your needs? Many believers unknowingly limit God by focusing on the finite resources of this world rather than the infinite riches of God’s kingdom. Their faith wavers when they think of the unstable earthly economy, the shortages, and the scarcity around them. They ask, "How can God bless me amid all this?" If you’ve had these thoughts, here’s a perspective that can change everything! The Bible tells us God has “delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” To be translated means to be moved from one place to another. Essentially, your primary citizenship is not of this earth. You are not first and foremost an American, Canadian, or Australian―you are primarily a citizen of God’s kingdom. This means the conditions of this world do not dictate whether your needs are met. The Bible assures us that God will meet your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19)! You can rely on heaven’s economy, not earth’s economy―and in heaven, there is always more than enough. Embrace the abundance of heaven that has been granted to you through Jesus. Recognize that you’ve been moved from a world of lack into a kingdom of abundance. Rejoice, for the limitless resources of heaven are available to you! Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for providing for me each day according to Your riches in glory. I don't fully understand the economy, and my finances often fall short. Yet, I am grateful that You have not forgotten me and continue to provide. If I have sinned against You knowingly or unknowingly, please forgive me, Lord. I forgive the person I have been speaking to You about and release them in Jesus Christ’s name, asking that You also set me free. Although I don’t always understand how things work, You have been so faithful to me that I can't imagine how my life would be without Your mercy and guidance. Great is Your mercy and wonderful is Your name. All glory and honor belong to You, Lord, my God. Thank You for forgiving my sins and for hearing me when I call out to You. I am deeply grateful that You are still my God. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
