Jesus supplies ALL my needs!

God is so good!

Bible says "the love of money is the root of all evil". But the devil subtly changed it to "money is the root of all evil". It is this wrong phrase that has perpetrated into our way of life when preachers/believer friends/ and people of the world quote without reading carefully from the bible!

And because of this, many Christians (many of whom even hold the offices of deacons, elders and pastors) believe that it is God's will that they should "suffer for the Lord" in their poverty.

Well, all these are lies! God has already suffered and sacrificed, once for all! He died a poor man that we may inherit His inheritance. (He was recorded to have only a piece of purple clothing without seams which the soldiers gambled for).

I too have fallen victim to this lie but it was only in recent years that I was shown the truth! I know I am rich, not the "you'll get your rewards in heaven" kind of spiritual riches but earthly, material, carnal riches as well, for the bible says, just as He is (seated at the Father's right hand in all glory and splendour) so are we in this world!

The Lord revealed to me His plans to make us rich, the importance of tithing to bless and sanctify our income and that "He has given us the power to get wealth".

Recently, I began to worry that money wasn't enough for the coming festivities and bills and things I want to buy etc. I was quickly reminded by the Holy Spirit to "take no thought for tomorrow" and "let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". I thanked God for the truth in His word and felt led to even tithe another portion of my money (although I've tithed already for the month).

Hey hey hey, what do you know? The Lord blessed the works of my hands and for the month of Dec 2006, I achieved the highest sales figures without even realising it! I got the highest commission in the company ever. It was like a big fat bonus to pay for all the things I need to buy and still have enough for the things I want to buy. Praise the Lord!

It is impossible that the Lord whom you worship, Who owns the cattle of a thousand hills, Who heals the multitudes freely and unconditionally when He was walking on earth 2000 years ago, will allow His people today to live in poverty and sickness.

Remember, He healed all who came to Him to be healed. There were no conditions set before these multitudes-prostitutes, tax collectors, the diseased, the blind, the lame etc. Grace was freely given to one and all. Only the self-righteous Pharasees and religious teachers who boasted of their own self effort couldn't get healed.

Know Jesus in His FULL glory. He didn't save us just so we'll go to Heaven when we die. He gave us MUCH more!!!
