Do you know the God whom you serve? You serve a God of abundance; a God who shall supply all your needs; a God who said that you shall lack no good thing. This is the kind of God you serve. A God of more than enough; He is a God of abundance.
Definition of Abundance
Dictionary.com defines ‘abundance’ as an extremely plentiful, over sufficient quantity or supply of something; it can be described as having an overflow in quantity or supply.
God of Abundance and More than Enough
As we read our Bibles, we see that this is the kind of God we serve; a God of abundance, plenty and overflow. God wants to bless you with more than enough; not just enough or barely enough.
You do not serve a god of lack. God is more than able to supply everything you and I will ever need here on earth. Ephesians 3:20 states that God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think of, according to the power that worketh in us.
This means that God is able to send you an abundance of something and it will be more than what you can ever imagine or think of. He is able to exceed what you could ever ask for. This is the kind of God you serve; a God of increase, abundance and overflow. One that does exceedingly abundantly above anything you or I could ever ask of Him.
Scarcity Mentality: The Killer of an Abundant Life
Although we serve a God of more than enough, many are living with a scarcity mindset; that is, a mindset of lack and barely enough. Don’t let a poverty mindset rob you of the abundant life Jesus died to give you.
The Word of God states that Jesus came that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). Nowhere in the Bible have I seen God unable to provide for His people; where God was unable to bless His people with an abundance of something – whether that something be food, drink, clothes, money or etc. God has always shown Himself to be God the supplier; God of more than enough.
However, although we serve a God of abundance, many Christians live in lack and this is not the kind of life Jesus died on the cross to give them. Notice in Ephesians 3:20 it states that God is able. It didn’t say God will. God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we could ask or think.
I believe many Christians experience a lack of resources because of the mentality they carry; it’s a scarcity mentality which is the opposite of an abundance mentality. If you’re a Christian dealing with lack, I encourage you to read about having a more than enough mentality. Why settle for lack when God came to give you abundance?
I am convinced that until we stop believing God for very little; until we stop placing limitations on God and begin asking for more than enough, until we stop speaking negatively and etc., we will never fully experience God’s abundance in our lives.
Finial Words: Renounce Lack and Declare Abundance
The Lord says in Malachi 3:10 that He will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to receive it! Today I encourage you to acknowledge and declare that God is more than enough; that God shall supply all your needs; that God is a God of abundance.
I challenge you to have a more than enough mentality, an abundance mindset, and to let go of a lack and scarcity mentality. Since Jesus came to give you life and life more abundantly, seek and expect to experience God’s overflow.
Believe God for spiritual abundance, financial abundance, an abundance of love, joy, peace and life; believe God for abundance in every area of your life. Whatever you lack, expect and believe God for increase. Believe that God will supply all your needs; believe that God meets our needs and provide for those who seek Him.
Conclusion
Be encouraged to start living life in abundance each day, starting now. You may lack in the natural realm but there’s nothing that prayer and seeking the face of God can’t change. Seek God and expect increase and abundance and He will meet your needs (according to your faith) in more ways than one. A simple way to get started is to renounce scarcity (lack) and to decree and declare God’s abundance over your life.
I am a living testimony that God is in fact a God of increase. He will use people, things and even situations to bless you with overflow. Trust God to increase and multiply what you have because my God is a God of more than enough.
Make a decision to receive the abundant life Jesus died to give you spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, financially and etc. Remember to seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
If you serve a God of more than enough; one who promises to do exceedingly abundantly above, why settle and believe God for anything less? Rid the scarcity mentality and declare God’s abundance and watch God move in your life.
Be encouraged and blessed in Jesus name.
