EL-Shaddai the "God that is more than enough", the all sufficient one (Genesis 17:1),
JEHOVAH-JIREH, "the Lord God our provider." (Genesis 22:13-14)
Philippians 4:19 (AMP) “And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
Government Assistance! The United States is still the symbol of hope for most of the world. Many people come to the United States by any and all possible means. By the time they get here, the few resources they had are depleted and they set out to reestablish their lives in this new country. Because of their situation, many are forced to receive government assistance for their financial and medical well-being. This system is designed to help those that cannot help themselves and help them get to a point where they can.
When we repent of our sin and are born again into the Kingdom of God, we are made citizens of heaven. With this new citizenship comes the right to Godly Government Assistance. There are some differences, however, between the assistance the United States provides and the assistance of God.
Summary:
1. The Resources: Although the United States is a global superpower and a great nation, we are a nation in debt and our national deficit is reaching never before seen levels. The resources of our nation, although plenteous, have their limits. The resources in the Kingdom of God are limitless. The only limits that God seemingly has are the limits that we place on Him. He has no boundaries and His resources have no limits. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalms 50:10)! Our text tells us that He has riches in glory in Christ Jesus!
2. The Time Frame: The U.S. wants people to be able to get off of assistance as soon as possible and to be able to make it on their own. There have been changes in recent years to limit the time frame of assistance and to make sure that this process is carried out. On the contrary, in the Kingdom of God, God wants us to receive His assistance and to depend on Him for the rest of our lives!
3. The Scope: U.S. Government assistance is mainly limited to food and health care. There are other systems in place, but those two are the primary means of assistance.
On the contrary, in the Kingdom of God, we have access to whatever the NEED is that presents itself in our lives. Our text tells us that God will liberally supply (fill to the full) our every need. If there is a need for food, He can supply it. If there is a need for healing, He can supply it.
If there is a need for peace, He can supply it. If there is a need for protection, He can do that, too. And the list can go on. Be careful, however, to understand that the text promises that our Godly Kingdom will provide all our NEED; the Apostle Paul did not say our every WANT. God is not a genie in a bottle waiting for us to make wishes, but He is a Loving, Caring, Compassionate, and Limitless King; ready to meet the needs of His people.
Question: If it is Monday morning, what do you NEED to make it through this week? Don’t try to make it on your own. If you are a citizen of heaven, then stake a claim on your Godly Government Assistance. The Holy Spirit will assist you to overcome every obstacle and reach every goal!
CONFESSION
Heavenly Father, I am a born-again believer. I have declared my citizenship in Your Kingdom. I have a right to your assistance. I stake a claim on your limitless resources and declare that all my needs are met according to your riches in glory. Whatever the need, you are the supply. I receive the supply and enjoy my Godly benefits. In Jesus’ Name Amen
