'But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus' (Philippians 4:19).

Many of us at times confuse our 'needs' with our 'wants'. However, what we 'need' and what we 'want' are not always the same thing. A need is something you have to have to survive and a want is simply the desire for something. God is our provider and whatever resources He has given us, must be used according to His purposes, in order for blessing to come. When we allow our needs to be met through Christ, the one who made and control all things; we will never lack. When we trust God to provide our true needs - not materialistic; we will not be consumed by worry, anxieties and worldly desires regardless of our circumstances. We will be confident that God will bless us. When we rely on the power of Christ, we will be content and be filled with God's peace as we seek to have a good relationship with each other. God knows our daily needs before we even asked him and will supply them generously to us according to His riches in glory. Why? Because we are in Christ, and by our faith in Him, we become God's children. As a result, our gracious God promised to supply all our needs. It therefore behoves us to give God thanks and glorify Him for all his abundant supplies. Let us be not anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let our request be known to God (Philippians 4:6). God has given us a promise of future grace that He, our God will supply every need of ours according to  his riches in glory in Christ, His Son. Let us live in faith of this promise of future grace. God doesn't want us to worry about our future, He has that all sorted. He will supply what is necessary for your spiritual and physical needs, so just trust Him and keep being generous with the little you have. Don't give up on God because you feel your physical needs are not met. If you do so, you give up on any chance of having your real needs ever met. Be a generous giver in the whatever you have and God will supply your every need more abundantly.

Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and...

'Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead , yet shall he live;' (John 11:25). The story of Lazarus is a well known one in the Bible. He and his sisters Martha and Mary were friends of Jesus, who loved them. Lazarus became sick and died, and after four days Jesus raised him from the dead. This was more for benefits of those around including His disciples, so that they may truly believe that God had sent him.  He was speaking  with Martha who was more focused on the telling Jesus the problem, than demanding a specific solution. We too can be so focus on the problems we faced, that we forget that God is  much bigger that the problem and is our solution to them. When Jesus told her Lazarus would rise again, she understood it to mean he would live again someday. But Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believes in me, though he was dead, yet shall he live." Christ at this time, was able...

 'But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, the just shall live by faith' ( Galatians 3:11). Paul in speaking to the Galatians, admonished them not to listen to heresies, that would jeopardise their relationship with Christ. The same message is relevant to us today as well. Paul here was saying, following the law cannot save us. It is our trust in God and having  faith in his Son, Jesus Christ, that can make us  right with God. That was evident, that the just shall live by faith, not by our own works. It was Christ who had redeemed us from the curse of the law by the shedding of his precious blood. We are save and made right by God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus. Abraham was justified, because He believed God  and was accounted righteous. We who are seeds of Abraham, will receive the blessings of Abraham by believing in Christ by faith and not works. The Promised blessings of Abraham by God, wasn't just for him alone, but ...
