Abundance for Every Good Work
A good news message for your provision and abundant living in Christ.

Trigger Verse
Here is the key verse of Scripture that triggered my fresh understanding of abundance:
2Co 9:8 "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work."
The concept of abundance can be confusing. If you think in terms of abundance, that it has storehouses full of everything all the time, it will frustrate you when that is not the case.
If you shift your understanding of abundance towards the enabling force of abundance to do every good work God has called you to do, then it is a liberating concept.
Stop feeling guilty that you don’t have storehouses full of grain.
Have you read the ‘Parable of the Rich Fool?’
Luk 12:13-21 Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."
“But He said to him, "Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."
Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.
And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?'
So he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry." '
But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'
"So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
Later Jesus says: “Luk 12:34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Covetousness stores up and does not use the abundance. A liberal abundant spirit uses the resources for its proper purpose.
What is God’s purpose in your life and ministry?
What are some of the mandates that God has called you to fulfil?
Have you been able to get going with some of the mandates? Then you are entering abundance. As you tick off the Divine instructions and tasks God has given you, you are allocating your resources abundantly. Keep going and keep growing in abundant thinking and doing for the Lord.
My dad used to explain abundant life and compare it a wide spectrum of experiences in living on earth.
You can’t appreciate acceptance until you have felt the sting of rejection. You won’t love much if you haven’t been forgiven yourself for messing up. You’ll not build patience if you can’t endure some tribulation.
You won’t appreciate wealth until you have sacrificed much.
There is a balance in abundance that serves a purpose and understands the main cause for it. When you click into that through pattern, abundance is yours by faith in Jesus’ name! Enjoy!
Grace and peace in abundance!
