It says: "God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever t he need be sel f-su f f icient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]" (AMP). is is God's will for you! He doesn't want you having to go to the government for finances. He doesn't want you having to borrow money from the bank. He Himself wants to supply you with more than enough for every good work, so that when the pastor announces, "We're going to build a new church building," you don't have to say, "I can only give a little." You can say, "I'll pay for the north wing." Sadly, most believers can't even imagine such a thing. They look at themselves, their background, their educational level or whatever, and think it wou ld be impossible. " Not even God could get that kind of money to me," they say. "It would be too hard." But t hat 's a n absolutely unscriptural statement! Nothing is too hard for God. He is able to do "exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us" (Ephesians 3:20). e only reason we think things are too hard for God is because they're too hard for us. Let's get rid of such thinking. Let's stop limiting God to what we can figure out with our finite, human brains. According to the Bible, "With God nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37), and "all things are possible to him that believeth" (Mark 9:23). So let's get our eyes off ourselves and everything else in this natural world order, put them on God and simply believe. To do this, of course, we must renew our mind to the point where we go to God first concerning our finances. We don't go to the bank first, and Uncle Charlie second, and then to Grandma who tells us we should pray about it. No! Prayer should be the place where we start. We're children of Almighty God and He owns everything in heaven and earth. We're joint heirs with Jesus and He has been appointed heir of all those things. In Christ, we're not just guardians of God's vast resources, we're co-owners. How can someone who's joint owner of the entire universe be worried about paying the rent? at doesn't even make sense! I'll tell you what does make sense, though. It makes sense for you and me and every other believer to have all sufficiency in all things. It makes sense for us to abound, not just enough to pay our bills but to do every good work. This has a lways been the heart of God: "He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among pr i nce s..." (1 S a muel 2:8). That's something that, try as they may, the governments in this fallen world order can't do. It's up to us as the Church of The LOR D Jesus Christ to receive the resources God has made available to us and launch a war on poverty that's the real thing. It's up to us to take a stand on the v ictor y Jesus has already won and put that pover t y spirit where it belongs—under our feet!
