Your mind is powerful. Many of the decisions you make, the actions you take, the images you have about yourself and so forth all starts in the mind. It amazes me how having a negative mindset can prevent one from being the very best they can be. How a negative image of one’s self not only steals their confidence but also their ability to receive the joy and abundant life Jesus died on the cross to give them.
Today I ask you, “What is on your mind”? Is it lack, poverty, a just making it by attitude? If so, I encourage you to change your mindset and perspective on life. Jesus said in His word that He came to give you life and life more abundantly. An abundant life in Christ is not lack. For the Bible says those who seek Him shall lack no good thing. Shift your mindset from a barely making it by attitude to a more than enough mentality.
When lack enters your mind, rebuke it in Jesus name and begin to say, “Thank you Jesus that you supply all my needs; I have more than enough to take care of x,y,z.” Believe God and praise Him in advance for more than enough. More than enough money to pay your bills, more than enough funds to get out of debt, more than enough time in your day to spend with God, more than enough food to feed your family and etc.
Why is this important? A simple answer to that question would be because you serve a more than enough God. A God who said if you seek Him, you will lack no good thing. A God who said He shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.
The Bible makes it clear that God doesn’t give just enough; He gives more than enough. In the Bible, we read the story where Jesus multiplies 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish to feed a crowd of over 5,000 people. Jesus didn’t multiply it to where it was just enough. When every person ate, there was more than enough fish and bread left over (12 baskets to be exact).
Furthermore, I encourage you to carry a more than enough mentality; regardless of what you do or do not have. Even if you find yourself in a situation where you’re lacking, don’t accept or confess lack over your life. Instead, confess, believe and trust God for the abundance He’s promised you.
Expect God to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you could ever ask or think of (Ephesians 3:20). Watch God open up the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing that you won’t even have enough room to receive it (Malachi 3:10).
Remember, God is a God of more than enough. If God can multiply bread and fish to feed a crowd of over 5,000 people (with more than enough left over), then God can multiply and bless you with an abundance of whatever it is that you lack.
Be blessed and encouraged in Jesus name.
