How much can you receive?

"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." 

Romans 10:17

From our opening scripture, it becomes obvious that whenever you hear the Word of God, faith comes to your heart. In other words, faith is an offspring of the Word of God.

Developing your faith is so vital because it is what determines what you are able to receive from God. In James 1:5 the Bible says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." This reveals to us that we can ask God for whatever we lack.

In Philippians 4:19, the Bible says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." God can supply all your needs. There is no need you have that God cannot supply. Interestingly, the word ‘need’ in Philippians 4:19 from the Greek also means demand. So, Paul the Apostle was saying to us in that verse that, my God shall supply all your demands according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Therefore, I will like to reemphasize here that there is nothing you need or demand that God cannot supply to you. So, whenever you have a need, the Bible lets you know who to ask. He says, "…let him ask of God…"

The second thing you need to know that will stir up your faith when you ask God for something is that God is a giver. The Bible reveals to us in James 1:5 that God gives to all men liberally. The word ‘liberally’ in the Greek means bountifully or generously. This means that God is generous. So, whenever you approach God for anything, you need to be aware that the Father is willing to answer that prayer generously.

Prayer.

Dear Father, I thank you for your love and commitment to my well being. Thank you Father for you supply all my needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. In Jesus Name. Amen.
