God's provision is abundant, and He wants to bless us. We must remember that our ministry is not about hoarding resources but about sharing them with others. As we steward God's blessings and keep His end goal in mind, we will see measurable fruit in our mission.
Let's talk about something cool today. You know how we always worry about not having enough? Enough money, enough time, enough friends? Well, guess what? God's got us covered. He's like the ultimate provider.
Remember that story in the Bible about the Israelites wandering in the desert? They were hungry and God sent them manna from heaven. But when they reached the promised land, the manna stopped. Why? Because God had provided them with a land full of resources. They just had to use them.
It's like this. Imagine you're playing a video game and you've got unlimited lives. You don't worry about dying because you know you've got another life coming. That's how God wants us to live - not worrying about what we don't have, but trusting that He's got us covered.
God's got us covered. He's like the ultimate provider.
Now, let's talk about Joshua. He was about to lead the Israelites into battle against Jericho. But before he did, he met this guy who said he was the "General-of-the-Army-of-Jehovah." That was Jesus, guys! And He gave Joshua a crazy strategy to conquer Jericho. They didn't fight, they just marched around the city and blew trumpets. And the walls fell down!
What's the lesson here? God's got unique ways for us to conquer our battles. We just need to listen and obey.
So, how does this apply to us? Well, we're not just called to survive. We're called to thrive and help others thrive too. It's not just about getting what we need, but about sharing what we have.
And here's the thing. We're not just called to share the gospel of salvation, but the gospel of the Kingdom. That means showing people that following Jesus impacts every part of our lives.
Now, let's talk about giving. It's not just about raising money, it's about being good stewards of what God has given us. When we give out of obedience and faith, God blesses us even more.
Think of God's blessings like a river. It's not a limited pie that gets smaller when you share it. It's a river that keeps flowing. The more we share, the more we have.
So, what's the practical application here? Let's start by trusting God more. Let's share what we have, not just our money, but our time, our talents, our love. And let's remember that God's got unique strategies for us to conquer our battles.
Let's pray. God, thank you for your abundance. Help us to trust you more, to share what we have, and to listen for your unique strategies for our lives. Amen.
