Theme:When The Lord Supply
Text: Philippians 4:19 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
Thank God for a glorious privilege to share His word, He alone deserve all the praise. Having looked at what supply is and how it affects the life of the recipient it is ideal to look at what can hinder or stop the supply of God.
The first thing that comes to mind automatically is sin, sin is a blockage to thousands of benefit the children of God can get, Ananias and Saphira in Acts 5:1-11 committed sin against the Holy Spirit (God) which let to their death. They thought the returns from their property which they sold was their doing, they forgot it was the result of the power of God. The enemy is very tricky, when he is aware that God is about to do something great in a believers life or do something through a believer, he cunningly used sin the automatic trick of putting believers down on their back.
The sin can be as simple as pride, the Bible says Pride goes before a fall Proverbs 16:18. The opposite of pride is humility, a person can appear humble but be filled with so much pride. In the face of a proud person they are perfect, pride in a man can make such man to be judgemental towards others. Pride can make a man think they own their life, pride can lead to lots of other sin. It is wise for believers to always pray that God should break us down and remould us. At times we fall into sin unknowingly and it gradually progress in us thus hindering the blessings of God.
Coveteousness is another sin that can limit the blessings of God. In 2Kings 5:20-27 we read about Gehazi who's greed lead him to generational leprosy. The blessings he could have passed unto his generation would have been numerous but the reverse was the case.
Unforgiveness and Comparison can hinder the supply of God. It can be humanly difficult to let go and let God when you feel hurt by others, but it is spiritually wise to do so. No matter what anyone might have done to you, it's a command from God to forgive them. Also do not compare yourself with anyone because in doing so you wouldn't even take note of the blessings of God. This will lead to you not being thankful but rather complaining and murmuring which doesn't please God.
When God supplies the blessings isn't just physical alone, it's spiritual as well. When your spiritual blessings outweighs the physical blessings you wouldn't find it hard or difficult to serve God. Spiritual blessings are things we should pray for and retain by all means when God Supply us with them. Physical blessings will end on earth but spiritual blessings are forever eternal.
The Lord almighty will grant us our heart desires and empower us in Jesus name. I pray that He will suply our needs far beyond our understanding in Jesus name.
Let Us Pray
