Topic: There Is No Shortage In God [27th August 2018 Daily Devotional]
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”. Philippians 4:19
There is no shortage in God. He has in abundance of everything. He has abundant supply of everything we will need in life. Not just money; He is more than anything! Some of us function with the idea that God is in heaven and He is in a sort of panic mode because of the events happening right now. And so He is wondering, what am I going to do next! Beloved, the last time I checked, He is sitting down and laughing. He is not repeating himself.
When God finished the work of creation, He sat down. Finished does not mean that He was tired; it means He has finished everything He needed to do. There is no need that comes that doesn’t have supply, no matter what it is. The needs of the whole world have already been provided for in anticipation by God. That is why it is already done. God is not going to be scratching His head and say now that the devil has pulled a fast one, what am I going to do again? He has abundant grace, abundant mercy, abundant faithfulness and abundance of joy and peace to give. He has abundance of everything. The fall of man has made man to develop a shortage mentality. The fall of man has made us to see things in shortage.
We must get rid of shortage mentality because it is contrary to the new creation reality. And you are a new creation. You function from heaven. There is no lack in heaven at all. There is no shortage in heaven. God is not lacking in anything that has to do with godliness and all the good things of this life. It is all provided for! Praise God
