ABOUNDING...ABUNDANCE...ENRICHED

Disclaimer:

Due to the large amount of sermons and topics that appear on this site I feel it is necessary to post this disclaimer on all sermons posted. These sermons are original to the author and the leading of the Holy Spirit. While ideas and illustrations are often gleaned from many sources including those at Sermoncentral.com, any similarities and wording including sermon title, that may appear to be the same as any other sermon are purely coincidental. After preaching for over thirty years, not all resources used can I recall. I honor all those that have spoken into my life and helped me along this journey. Blessings! Pastora EC

2 Corinthians 9:8--And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

2 Corinthians 3:5 --Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

Philippians 4:19--But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

“Commitment by Faith in God’s Provision”

Do you ever feel inadequate to handle the demands of life?

Do you feel that your strength is gone?

Do you feel that you are just barely getting by financially, and that you have so little to give?

God’s grace toward us is like a fountain of living water. Such a fountain has a never ending source of water. Someone who has a fountain has an all-sufficient supply of water. You have a never ending water supply. That well is tapped to a deep spring. Even during the driest times, we should never run out of water. Then from that fountain of living water we can do much good.

God’s grace is like that. You can never exhaust God’s grace. And out of the all sufficiency of His grace, we have all the resources we need to do every good work. Eph. 2:10 says that we are “created in Christ Jesus for good works….” Tit 2:14 says that Christ redeemed us that we might be “zealous for good works.” God does not just demand that we produce good works; He enables us to do good works out of the resources of His grace.

Do you get tired? Discouraged? Bummed out?

1 Corinthians 15:58 --Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

ABOUNDING...ABUNDANCE...ENRICHED RUNNING OVER GUSHING

God's desire is that we are abounding AND in abundance....with EVERYTHING that HEAVEN has to offer....abounding where ITS GUSHING out touching everyone around us....He has ENRICHED us in EVERY way!!!

Going to the Greek on these words really brings it into perspective!!!

Abounding--(Bruo)--to abound, gush forth

Colossians 2:7 --Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Abundance--(Pleroo)--to make full, to fill up, i.e. to fill to the full to cause to abound, to furnish or supply liberally I abound, I am liberally supplied to render full

Psalm 37:11--But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Romans 5:17--For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus

2 Corinthians 8:2--How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.

Enriched--(plouteó)--it literally means filthy stinking rich...Lacking NOTHING

1 Corinthians 1:5--That in everything ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

2 Corinthians 9:11--Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

Friends this is God's desire and Jesus came and paid for it all...yet the spirit of religion has lied and talked us out of it!!!!!

GOD IS PLEASED AND GLORIFIED WHEN HIS CHILDREN WALK IN THE FULLNESS OF WHAT'S BEEN BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH IT WILL BE DONE TO YOU. RICH IN EVERY AREA EVEN AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS. GUSHING OUT NOT TO BE HELD IN BUT ERUPTING LIKE A VOLCANO!!!

LIQUID GOLD....LAVA LUJAH.....MOLTEN GLORY...LIQUID LOVE...

3 John 1:2--Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

THERE IS NO SECTION IN HEAVEN FOR POVERTY OR SICKNESS...ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

Today let us remember that the best vantage point to have is not from the bottom of the mountain looking up but rather from the top of the mountain looking out. So let’s change our vantage point and start to see with the vision that God desires, let’s see with His eyes. Today we have the opportunity to accomplish great things! Change your perspective!
