God is your source

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:19

Our opening scripture reveals that God is our source. He is able to supply every need that arises in your life. The word supply in our opening scripture is from the Greek word 'pleroo' which means to cram a net. This can be explained with the picture of a net full of fish and there is no longer any space in the net. Therefore, when God says He shall supply all your need, He is saying that He is going to so fill you with every provision you need until there is no space left.

The word need is from the Greek word 'chreia' which refers to demands. That means for every demand you make, there is an equivalent supply. So there is nothing you need that God cannot supply. Always remember that God is your source. Your job, business, etc. are only channels. Therefore, do not put your hope in any of the channels through which God blesses you. Let your hope be in God alone because even if one channel fails, He is able to open to you new streams of income so that you can be abundantly supplied.

For instance, Jacob was a man who recognized God as his source and vowed to give God a tithe of all that he possessed (Genesis 28:20-22). Because of this, Jacob prospered so much until he became richer than his employer (his father in law) who tried to cheat him ten times in his wages, yet he prospered more. Jacob attests to God as his source in Genesis 31:6-9(GNB) when he addressed his wives saying, "You both know that I have worked for your father with all my strength. Yet he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. But God did not let him harm me. Whenever Laban said, 'The speckled goats shall be your wages,' all the flocks produced speckled young. When he said, 'The striped goats shall be your wages,' all the flocks produced striped young. God has taken flocks away from your father and given them to me." Make God your source and you shall not lack any good thing.

Prayer

In the Name of Jesus, I declare that God is my source. Therefore, I am abundantly supplied with all good things in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study read:

Genesis 48:15, Psalm 31:19-20, Psalm 34:10.

Doing the Word

Thank the Father for His supplies for all your needs.
