DISCOVER





DISCOVER GOD’S NEVER-ENDING SUPPLY FOR YOU! 

We have all at some point, “run out” of something.

Perhaps you ran out of gas on a busy highway or ran out of a key ingredient while preparing dinner. Or even ran out of strength to accomplish a physical task you were working on.

I think most of us have exhausted our supply of something at one time or another—having “not enough” can be so frustrating.

Beloved, I want to exhort you today: there is no such thing as “not enough” or “running out” with Jesus.

Jesus has supplied everything you will ever need... Jesus' supply for every area of your life is already paid for...

Jesus' supply is limitless... inexhaustible...never-ending!

Whatever you are in need of today—health, wisdom, peace, long life, provision—look to Jesus. See His loveliness, His beauty, His glory, His excellence. Rest and receive His never-ending supply.

Acts 10:38 tells us very clearly that Jesus “went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil...” Jesus was always healing, always supplying, always blessing.

Jesus wants to do the same thing for you today.

The answer is not found in your own strength. To be demand-conscious is to focus on your abilities, your goodness and your accomplishments.
With grace, the focus isn't on you—the focus is on Jesus. And the essence of grace is always supply.

Second Corinthians 9:8 puts it beautifully, “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”
God wants to supply, and He wants you to receive.

Many people are frustrated in life because they have not learned how to receive that supply. They are stressed, always anxious, worrying about their job, their health, their family or their future.

If that is you today, be encouraged...God has prepared a brand-new day for you!

Because of the finished work of Jesus...

You are supplied with health!
You are supplied with favor!
You are supplied with wisdom!
You are supplied with abundant provision!

The Lord knows what you need today, tomorrow, next week and next year. He loves you, and He is preparing a way for you.

Many years ago, Wendy and I took our daughter Jessica to Disneyland in Tokyo. At the time, she was too young to ride all of the rides—I knew some of them would frighten her.

But it was hard to tell which rides would be too much for her just by looking at them. So I made a decision and acted...I rode the rides first (even the Snow White ride).

I suppose it was funny for people to see this adult riding all the kids' rides, but it was important that I experience what she would experience. On each ride I would think, “Will she be frightened by this? Will the sounds be overwhelming for her?” Because I love her, I went before her to prepare the way for her.

Beloved, the Lord loves you, and that's what He has done for you. He has gone ahead into your future and prepared the way for you.

John 3:16 tells us “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son...” Now, what does love do? Love gives and supplies!
• Are you concerned about what might happen tomorrow?
• Are you fearful of a diagnosis?
• Are you stressed about a financial situation?

The Lord has gone ahead to supply all your needs (Philippians 4:19)! He knows what you need; let go of that stress and trust Jesus for your supply.
When you learn to receive everything God has already supplied in Jesus, your life will be changed. I'm not saying there won't be challenges. But when challenges come, you'll be quick to realize that those challenges didn't bypass God. The supply has already been given. You can simply reach out and receive that supply.

Every day, in every situation, let your prayer be:
“Thank You, Lord, for this supply...this grace... this provision...this safe keeping. Thank You, Lord, for Your goodness and abundance
in my life.”

Remember, when you wake up each morning, the supply is already there. God has been working the night shift on your behalf. All the grace you need for today has been provided...

Whatever you face today, you're not alone. Jesus has already gone ahead and prepared the way for you.

Grace, rest, provision, favor are all yours. Our Lord's supply is never-ending. You never have to “run out” again.

I encourage you to have a positive expectation that something good is going to happen today. Though you may have challenges, know there is already a supply.

CHRIST YOUR WISDOM GIVES YOU GOOD SUCCESS :

1 CORINTHIANS 1:30 - But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God…

It is believed that there has never been a wealthier king than King Solomon. God gave him wisdom that not only made him wise in matters of justice, but also brought him gold and silver. (1 Kings3:12–13)

According to a report by the Illinois Society of Architects in 1925, the cost of Solomon’s temple in terms of existing values would have been about US$87 billion! The priests wore garments costing more than US$10 million! These amounts only cover what Solomon spent on the temple and not his personal assets.

We can go on talking about the riches of King Solomon, but the Bible tells us that there is one greater than Solomon. (Matthew12:42) His name is Jesus, and He is the most prosperous Man who ever lived and who will ever live.

If there was a need to feed the hungry, He simply multiplied whatever food was placed in His hands. On one occasion, He multiplied five loaves and two fish to feed 5,000 men, not counting women and children. And incredibly, there were 12 baskets full of leftovers. (Matthew 14:15–21)

If any of His own faced lack, it was not long before abundant provision flowed to them. Once, when His disciples caught nothing after a whole night of fishing, He merely spoke a word of command and schools of fish obeyed, swimming toward His disciples’ boat so that they received a net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fish. (Luke 5:1–7) In another incident, He provided the money for the temple tax, even if it took a fish to bring it to them! (Matthew 17:24–27)

My friend, this same Jesus has become for you wisdom from God. If you are a businessman, with Christ in you, you have wisdom that is greater than the wisdom of all the world’s business gurus put together. And if you are a student, Christ in you will manifest wisdom that is greater than all the wisdom of the brilliant minds in the academic world.

Beloved, believe that because Jesus, God’s wisdom, is in you, there is no reason you cannot prosper today, and astound the world in the same way Solomon did!

NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU!

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. - Luke 10:19

Years ago, while traveling on a domestic flight in the United States, I was seated next to a woman whose whole body was tense with fear.

Concerned, I asked if I could help her in any way. Between sobs, she told me about her fear of flying. I told her, “Don’t worry. I am on board. Nothing will happen to the plane.” I did not say it with pride. I said it knowing that the Lord was on board the plane with me and that I would have a safe journey because He has promised that “nothing shall by any means hurt you”.

Once, when Jesus was in the boat with his disciples, He told them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” (Mark 4:35) Believing that they would cross over to the other side, He fell asleep in the stern. A great storm arose, but it could not rouse Him from His sleep, only the cries of His terrified disciples did. They had forgotten what Jesus had said about them crossing over to the other side. They had also forgotten that with Jesus in the boat with them, there was no possibility of them going down. Nothing could by any means hurt them because Jesus was with them.

Even being thrown into a fiery furnace could not hurt three young Hebrew men because they believed that God would deliver them. They had proclaimed to the heathen King Nebuchadnezzar, “… our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.” (Daniel 3:17) And in the midst of their fiery trial, their deliverer not only walked with them in the fire, He also delivered them from all harm. King Nebuchadnezzar even said, “Look! I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.” (Daniel 3:25).

Beloved, in the midst of your storm or fiery trial, because Jesus is with you, nothing shall by any means hurt you!

Thought For The Day :

Nothing shall by any means hurt you because Jesus is with you!
