Power Of Abundant Sufficiency

Key Scriptures:  “ His Grace is sufficient for me.”  2 Corinthians 12:9

Power Point:

     I love the fact that God promises to be sufficient for me.  And I like the way He thinks!  While the world’s idea of “sufficiency” is an “adequate supply”, God has other ideas.  When His grace is manifested to us, it comes with great power.  It exceeds anything we can imagine. In the Greek, “Sufficient” means to be possessed of unfailing strength, to be strong, to be enough. And this may surprise you- His grace is sufficient enough to make you satisfied and contented.

     In fact, He promises that He will not only supernaturally manifest His grace to make us strong, He promises that His supernatural supply is plentiful enough for every detail of your life. It's always over the top!  The other morning as I was thinking about all this, it began to sparkle in my thoughts. 

I realized that:

We always, under any and all circumstances have sufficient protection.

We always have sufficient health.

We always have sufficient finances, so sufficient that I always have an abundance to give to others.

We always have sufficient wisdom.

We are always sufficiently loved.

We always have a sufficiently “God-sized” measure of His presence.

     He is powerful enough to provide an abundance of whatever it is we might need to abound.  He causes heaven to overflow lavishly to us so that we can always have an abundance of GRACE so that we can offer the same abundant help to others.

     I believe that’s the perfect definition of the “Abundant life”, don’t you? In fact, God’s definition of Abundance means that you are always able to meet your own needs without help from someone else. You are not supposed to be "self-sufficient" but sufficient in the sufficiency of God. The word "sufficient" in the Greek means “a perfect condition of life in which no aid or support is needed. AND it also means a mind that is contented and satisfied.”

     If we really understood that God is fully sufficient and that He wants to be that good to us, at all times, in every detail of our lives, life would be totally different for us wouldn’t it? 

    Not there yet? Beloved, God is stretching each of us so that we might understand that we may come freely to the Throne of Grace and be met with mercy and grace to help with every need-in abundance.  And definitely- cheerfully.

Power Thought:

God loves a cheerful giver because He is always abundantly cheerful about giving His best to us!
