You Will Abound
Right now, if you were to look at your life and immediate surroundings, abounding may seem like the furthest thing from you…but it is not. The problem is, if all you are seeing is problems, pressures, and impossibilities – you are looking in the wrong direction.
You will never abound in life until you look up from where you are right now. If you are going to ever reign in this life, you must get your eyes off your self, off the problem, and on to JESUS.
Romans 5.17 says:” …much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, will reign in life through the One Jesus Christ.” It is through Jesus, through the power of His Anointing, that you will reign in life. Do you want that? Do you want to REIGN, do you want to ABOUND in all things all the time? Then look up! Look up from where you are.
Perhaps this is not always easy. Perhaps the problems can seem so overwhelming. However, your circumstances are never as bad as they look. When you look only at the problem, it will begin looking worse and worse to you. Satan tries his best to get you to focus on the circumstances, instead of on God, in order to get you into fear about what’s going on in your life.
When you allow him to get by with that, things will begin getting worse. But the truth is, a lot of what you are seeing is not even real. Why? Because fear is steeped in deception. Fear will tell you that there is no way out – and that is a lie! There is too a way out, and His name is JESUS. In John 14.6 Jesus said: “I AM THE WAY, the Truth, and the Life.”
There is no sense in you living beneath your privileges. You were meant to live as a king! You were meant to have and enjoy life to the full, in excess, to the overflowing point. And you do not even have to wrack your brain thinking about how to get hold of all that, because Jesus has already sent you the Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth – the truth about life, the truth about healing, the truth about prosperity, the truth about restored relationships (John 16.13).
Jesus goes on to say in John 16.14-15, “He [the Holy Spirit] will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you… All things that the Father has are Mine, therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.”
Everything that the Father God has belongs to Jesus, and He said the Holy Spirit is declaring to you that all that He has belongs to you too! Hallelujah!
Do you want that? Then begin looking up.
“…look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21.28).
Let us take a look Genesis 13.14-17:
And the Lord said to Abram… lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are: northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever… ARISE, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.
In essence, God was saying to Abram – Look up, Abram. The place where you are right now is not all there is. I have much more for you than this. Lift your eyes so I can show you all that I want to give to you.
Through His Word (which is His Blood-sworn oath), God is saying the same thing to you and to me.
What you may be seeing is not all there is. God has much more for you. He has given us exceedingly great and precious promises so that by them we can partake of the divine life and nature of God. (II Peter 1.4)
Your life moves in the direction of your most dominate thoughts. So why not start taking on God’s thought so that your life will begin to move down a path of life and peace (absolute wholeness) instead of death or despair.
God receives great pleasure when you do well in every area of your life. He delights in doing you good. He has committed Himself to your success in every area of your life – spirit, soul, body, finances, relationships, and ministry. In His great love for you, He willingly gave up His only Son, Jesus, so that you could be whole and healed in every area. He does not want anything void or lacking or hurting in your life. He is ready, willing, and able to lift you into higher places of peace and rest, of wholeness and well-being, of prosperity and provision for every need.
Your path to the fullness of all God has for you is His Word. So just like God told Abram – ARISE, walk through the land [My Word] through its length and its width, FOR I GIVE IT [My Promises] TO YOU.
God’s Word is your success. There is not a problem you will face or a need you will ever have that God’s Word does not cover. No matter what the problem, HE is always your ANSWER.
As you keep your eyes on Him, as you focus on His promises as the answer, as you choose to believe His great love for you – knowing that He is totally committed to you and to your complete success, I assure you, you will ABOUND!
And God is able to make all grace [ every favour and earthly blessing] ABOUND toward you, that you always having ALL SUFFICIENCY in ALL THINGS may ABOUND unto every good work.” II Corinthians 9.8
