BEYOND MATERIAL LIMITATIONS


READ: 2 CORINTHIANS 8:6-9                
With God all things are possible. With Him is no limitation. For everyone who is properly connected with the God of abundance, there will be no lack because where their physical supplies end, there His supernatural supplies begin. To everyone, there comes a time of need. For some, such will be a time to expose their neglect of divine principle which will lead to serious suffering and denial while to those who operate the Kingdom principles faithfully; it will be a time to prove that they have a source other than the one people sees with the physical eyes.
Covenant-keeping believers see situations of austerity as an invitation to the God of abundance. In 1 Kings 17:2-6, Elijah called for a drought in the land by shutting up the heavens from giving rain for three and a half years. This was to punish people for their wickedness. Immediately after delivering the message to the king, God divinely guided him into sustenance. Elijah was asked to go to the brook Cherith. God sent ravens to feed him until the brook dried up. Thereafter the Lord sent him to a widow through whom he was sustained for the rest of the famine period.
God is able. In that situation of difficulty, God can make a way. He can lead you to your brook Cherith where you will be unaffected by the ravaging hunger. That brook could be a business, a job or even a country. Those who are looking up to God never miss the instruction that they need from time to time. If God could feed Elijah through ‘unclean’ birds, He can use anyone or anything to reach you. He can send your blessings through believers and unbelievers. Your blessings will reach you where you are this year. Just ensure you are living a life of obedience, service, worship and thanksgiving. Also, pay your dues to the Most High. The Lord will go beyond your material limitation.
MEMORIZE: LUKE 12:7 -8 –But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore; you are of more value than many sparrow.
