The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
Jesus came to bring you the full and abundant life of His kingdom. This life, is the rich, spiritual life of God Himself that overflows into His creation. When God made the world, He provided for it in abundance. It was teeming with life!
Jesus came in the fullness of that same life to establish God’s kingdom in our hearts. Essentially, the kingdom means submitting to the rule of God through Jesus Christ. It comes through the Holy Spirit, who is the life of the kingdom.
And with this kingdom comes abundant provision for every part of your life. That’s why Jesus taught His disciples not to worry about the daily necessities of life.
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Matthew 6:31
He went on to explain that God, our heavenly Father knows that we need these things. His instruction was that we should seek God’s kingdom first in our lives. But with that came a marvellous promise: All these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33
What was Jesus saying? Your Father God will provide for you everything in abundance as you trust Him and put Him first in your life. Isn’t that a glorious promise?
The abundance of the kingdom covers every area of your life. You can experience His blessing in your spirit. You can have it in your emotional life as you overflow with joy, peace and well being. And you can know God’s full provision for you financially so that your needs are abundantly met.
Take that abundant life today!
GOD’S WORDS FOR YOU
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him
return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He
will abundantly pardon.
