I was reflecting this morning on some scriptures which are seeds of greatness, once manifested in our lives through meditation and confession will transform who we are in Christ.
As leaders, our ability to be multipliers of leaders grows with our ability to be more like Christ and to have more of his anointing.
One of the areas and often strongholds to the full manifestation of God’s goodness is the presence of “lack” in our lives. Lack can be finances, wisdom, health, patience, or maybe peace.
Lack is real for many but it is not our portion!
Scripture reminds us that we have all sufficiency in all things (2 Corinthians 9:8) and it also says this about lack:
⁃ “The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me], I shall not want.” Psalms 23:1 AMP
⁃ “O [reverently] fear the Lord, you His saints (believers, holy ones); For to those who fear Him there is no want. The young lions lack [food] and grow hungry, But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.” Psalms 34:9-10 AMP
In the beginning (Gen 1: 12-31), God created reproducing seed, provided water and sun for provision and abundance. He affirmed and sustained it – even to this day. He also gave us a mandate to exercise our dominion over the earth.
We therefore already have provision made available to us and we now have awareness that “lack” is not our portion in Christ.
So the question is how do we break the cycle of “lack” in our homes, ministry and businesses – Prepare our hearts to become a Sower and an Imitator of God:
⁃ “Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father];” Ephesians 5:1 AMP
⁃ “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap.” Galatians 6:7 AMP
Amen
In closing, the Word tells us:
“Delight yourself in the Lord, And He will give you the desires and petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; Trust in Him also and He will do it.”
Psalms 37:4-5 AMP
“Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking finds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.”
Matthew 7:7-8 AMP
My prayer for you today:
“Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing [that is, your resources] and increase the harvest of your righteousness [which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love].
You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous, and this [generosity, administered] through us is producing thanksgiving to God [from those who benefit].
For the ministry of this service (offering) is not only supplying the needs of the saints (God’s people), but is also overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God.
Because of this act of ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to the gospel of Christ which you confess, as well as for your generous participation [in this gift] for them and for all [the other believers in need], and they also long for you while they pray on your behalf, because of the surpassing measure of God’s grace [His undeserved favor, mercy, and blessing which is revealed] in you.
Now thanks be to God for His indescribable gift [which is precious beyond words]!” 2 Corinthians 9:10-15 AMP
Be Blessed!
Be a Blessing!
“The earth sprouted and abundantly produced vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, according to their kind; and God saw that it was good and He affirmed and sustained it.
God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to provide light upon the earth, to rule over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good and He affirmed and sustained it.
Then God said, “Let the waters swarm and abundantly produce living creatures, and let birds soar above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.”
And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.”
And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.” and to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that moves on the ground—to everything in which there is the breath of life—I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so [because He commanded it].
God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.”
Genesis 1:12, 17-18, 20, 22, 26, 28, 30-31 AMP
