Title: Did You Know That God Wants to Bless You?
Text:
2 Corinthians 9:8-10 (ESV)
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
9 As it is written, "He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever."
10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
Observation:
The Lord is a God of abundance, not of scarcity. What God promises He is able, and willing to deliver.
Are there any witnesses who will testify that God is a faithful God, and that what He promises in His Word He has done for you?
Psalm 37:25 (ESV)
25 I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.
I have spent a lot of time this year getting in touch with my heart. When I meditate on God's Word, God speaks to me in the deep recesses of my heart.
I encourage you to get in touch with your heart. As you read God's Word and pray, you will find that you will have a deep thirst and hunger for God. He made you with a space in your heart that only He can fill. God is standing at the door of your heart, and He wants to come into your heart, and bless you abundantly.
The woman at the wall had this experience with Jesus. Notice what a blessing she received.
John 4:12-14 (ESV)
12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock."
13 Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
God wants to fill the cup of your heart with living water. Why not open wide the door of your heart, and let the Savior come in, and be Lord of all?
It's now time, and it's prayer time.
Prayer:
Father, hallowed be your most holy and righteous name. All the glory and praise belong to You.
Father, I pray that many who are praying this prayer are opening their hearts wide to You.
Father, as Your Word promises, I pray that those who are opening their heart will expect by faith to receive the blessings of the Lord flooding their hearts with things that last forever: faith, hope, and love, and the greatest of these is love. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
