GLOW WITH GOD'S SUFFICIENCY

In our world today, there maybe times when it seems like we don't have enough strength, wisdom or resources to overcome the trials that we encounter along our way to heaven. At such times as Christians, it is expected that we do not forget that we are not alone. Even in our struggles, Jesus Christ has assured us that "he is with us always even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20). The LORD himself assures us of God's sufficiency in all things, and as we lean on Him, we can glow with His sufficiency in every aspect of our lives.


In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the apostle Paul writes, "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." This powerful verse serves as an ointment of grace that greases the faith of all who remembers that even in times of weaknesses, God's grace is more than enough to sustain us. When we feel incapacitated or experience inadequate zest for the journey ahead, we can rest on the knowledge that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. We must however not allow this truth that fills with courage and confidence to evaporate from our hearts and minds, knowing that we can rely on God's sufficiency to carry us through every trial.


Another comforting promise of God's sufficiency can be found in Philippians 4:19, which declares, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." This promise was deliberately made by God to furnish us with the understanding of his desire not only to meet our needs but to also make us know that he is willing to help us glow and grow exceptionally. As we trust in Him, we can be assured that He will supply everything that pertains to life and godliness, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. This inspiring assurance should should serve as a guide for us to approach each day with a sense of hope and expectation, knowing that we serve a God who abundantly provides for His children.


Furthermore, in Psalm 23:1, King David proclaims while timelessly declaring, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Even as economist say human want are insatiable, this statement of his negates that acertion by convincingly promoting God as the eradicator of the want of all those who permit Him to shepherd their lives. As our Shepherd, God cares for our every need, guiding us and protecting us through the valleys and on the mountain tops of every situation and circumstance we find ourselves. We can glow in God's sufficiency when we trust in His role as our Shepherd and allow Him to lead us beside still waters with the sole aim of restoring our souls.


As we reflect and set our minds on these powerful promises of God, let us be reminded that God's sufficiency is not limited to our physical needs alone. His sufficiency extends to every area of our lives, including our emotional well-being, relationships, and spiritual growth. When we rely on His sufficiency, we can experience his true peace which brings along with itself contentment and utmost satisfaction, knowing that we are complete in Him.


In conclusion, as Christians, we have the privilege of glowing with God's sufficiency that makes every challenge in the world more surmountable. Regardless of our circumstances, we can rest in the knowledge that His grace is sufficient, His provision is abundantly made available, and the love in His shepherding fold is unavoidably nourishing. Dare to surrender the control of your life into the arms of this good shepherd Jesus Christ if you have not yet done so. As we meditate on these truths and apply them to our daily lives, may we glow with the radiance of God's sufficiency serving as a beacon of hope and inspiration to those around us, in Jesus Name, Amen. May we always remember that in Christ, we will never lack anything that will keep us focused on our heavenly home. May His sufficiency empower us to navigate life's challenges with grace and confidence, in Jesus Name, Amen.

DO NOT DEPAIR

Having found out whom God is... DO NOT DESPAIR TEXT: PSALM 13:1-6 Key verse: “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?” (Psalm 13:1) . Life throws up new challenges every day. This often makes the believer begin to think that God had abandoned him. Except he rouses himself up, he would become discouraged and lose all hope that help would ever come to him. David got to that point many times in his numerous battles in life. He probably prayed and fasted for long periods, but the onslaught of the enemy did not end. He was running out of options, hence he spoke in desperation to God. He seemed to conclude that He had forsaken him and wondered how long God would hide himself, and how long he was going to be abandoned to himself, getting ever more sorrowful daily. He was troubled that the enemy seemed to be triumphing over him; ...

NO SHORTCUT

If it is to be done aright, be rest assured that there is... NO SHORTCUT BELIEVERS' DIGEST PUBLICATION Bible Reading: 1 KINGS 15:16-24 Key Verse: “There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me” (1 Kings 15:19). Men always seek shortcut to success in life. Rather than live by God’s righteous standard, they seek to achieve success by any means possible. They justify their action by arguing that the end does indeed justify the means. This is despite their moral failings and character flaws, all of which contravene God’s expectations from His children. Such was the beginning of the end for King Asa, who had begun well to rule Judah and had introduced gr...

A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (KJV) Key Verse: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). The world, in which we live today is filled with corrupting influences. This forms the basis of God's call to His people to rise as rare treasures of purity and power. A “Gem of Spectacular Influence” is not an ordinary person. It describes a believer whose life carries unique, enduring value that transcends fleeting worldly trends. Like a precious gem that retains its brilliance even in darkness, such a life reflects resolute determination to pursue excellence in glorifying God, undimmed by surrounding negativity. The story of Samuel powerfully illustrates this truth. Raised in the tabernacle at Shiloh under the aged priest Eli, Samuel was surrounded by evil practices. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were notorious for ...
