Living in the Kingdom of Abundance:
Abundance!
I am sorry about not getting my devotions out to you the last few days. We have had some amazing days in the Lord this week.
Abundance: This is a word that drives us to think money when we hear abundance. 2 {Peter 1:2 let us know what real abundance really is. To associate true abundance with what money can buy is short sighted. True abundance is what money cannot buy. Look below AND KEEP IN MIND. God wants us to live in true abundance. The word means multiplied. Ever increasing. More. I say more Lord, more.
2 Peter 1:1-9 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: 2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
We all need money and God is faithful to take care of us. In God’s kingdom there is no lack. We must learn what real abundance is, so we can be trusted with financial abundance. Jesus is not a get rich scheme. He is faithful to us and keeps His promises. He gives us all we need but we will find what we need, as we begin to live in the Kingdom (begin being led by the Spirit). When you live in the Kingdom all you need and more is already yours. It isn’t about heaping unto yourself. It is about partaking in your inheritance. In the Kingdom of God, money is a tool to reach this world and provide for God’s people. Money honestly has nothing to do with real abundance. In the next few days I want to deal with this wonderful word abundance. God has called us to be blessed or in abundance. Be blessed as you learn to live in God’s Kingdom!
Current Life and Ministry Update:
Once again, I am sorry for my delay in getting devotions out to you all. I was so happy to deal with the subject Love and the Kingdom of God All of last week was awesome. I am excited for BTI youth camp, the upcoming March 15 message (on loving your enemies), as well as Resurrection Sunday. God is up to some great things. I am sorry that I left some of you hanging after my last update. I did finally get our horse buried. It was like he was singing that old song “ain’t no grave, gonna hold this body down—I’m gonna get up, get up, get up, out of this ground. This was one of those things you will never forget. I went to court and that went very well but I will be going back to court in May. God is being very faithful. One thing I had not mentioned was, I was in great need to refinance my home. I need to pay for the room additions to make extra space for our new addition, also give each of my wonderful children their own rooms. This loan would also help us get to July when we are hoping to begin receiving a salary again. Having no income for the last six months also makes getting a loan very difficult. People don’t like to loan to people who are not currently making any money. Praise the Lord, Sunday I was given a word from the Lord to just ask. This might be a little pre-mature, but it looks like this loan will be coming through. This is a huge weight off of me, (one I should have been letting Jesus carry all along). We had a great weekend. Sunday morning was great. I had a great time with everyone at our Sunday pizza fellowship. Sunday night worship night was better than I could have asked for. We had a great turn out and I believe everyone who came, found it very worth while. Have a blessed day and trust Jesus all day long, He is trustworthy. Pastor Aaron
