The Overflow

UV 3745/10000 The Overflow And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 2 Corinthians 9 v 8 God has pledged or promised to bless us abundantly in numerous promises in His word. Jesus said His purpose in coming to the earth is to give us life and life in all its abundance. His grace or favour abounds towards us in all things at all times, even through hardship, famine, pandemic, depression, recession, sickness and health, birth and bereavements, weakness and strength, life with all its ups and downs. God is our greatest need and in Him is met all of our need. His word contains the grain of truth or seed that is intended to meet all our need – security, prosperity, peace, goodwill.. His grace is indeed sufficient for us in all our circumstances. When we sow the seed that the Lord has provided for us, it will produce a harvest of righteousness. He causes an overflow of blessings in our lives so that we would be able in turn meet the needs of the needy around us. We will abound in every type of good work- good thoughts towards people, good words to encourage the discouraged, to comfort the distressed, good actions to help the under privileged, the poor, the hapless so that the recipients in turn will trust the Lord and give thanks to Him. We throw bread on the waters so that it will return over time or beyond time to us as more blessings. We enjoy these blessings on account of the “indescribable gift” of God – Jesus. In Him, we have access to the treasury of heaven, in Him we obtain grace in the eyes of the Father, in Him every promise of God becomes our inheritance as co-heirs with Him. He has re-written our rights, our destiny, the will of God concerning us. Even what is intended by the enemy to hurt us is turned to a blessing.
