Abundance For Lack (Daily Devotional)

Hello and welcome to Living Supernaturally. We're so glad that you can make it today and be part of this daily devotion. We've been meditating about the cross and what the Lord Jesus did for us on the cross and we've been looking at the Great Exchange that has happened because of what the Lord Jesus did for us on the cross. Now, this Great Exchange is something that is extending to us, something good, something that is beneficial for us, something that releases us from pain and something that releases us into freedom. We have access to this, the Lord Jesus did this Great Exchange so that we might receive, so that we might experience and walk in the fullness of it. We have access to this Great Exchange which is by grace through faith. So, it has been extended to us out of grace not because of our performance or good deeds or righteous living but it has been extended to us by His grace freely and all we have to do is to receive it gratefully through faith. So, one of the things that we see that has been extended to us is abundance. Abundance in place of lack. Now when we look at John chapter 10 and verse 10 talks about the Lord's agenda, the Lord's mandate and His plan and His desire, this is what it says that ‘the thief does not come except to steal, kill, and destroy, I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.’ So, the Lord's desire is for us to have life in abundance. 3 John and verse 2 the apostle John prays like this, he says, ‘beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.’ First Timothy chapter 6 and verse 17 ‘command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, and nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.’ So, that is God's heart for us to walk in the true riches, it could involve finances and true prosperity is everything, it is increase, it is success and it is finances as well. So, the Lord's heart is for us to walk in the fullness of it and this is a great exchange that was made on the cross that we might walk in abundance in place of lack, in place of poverty. Now let's look at this scripture, 2 Corinthians chapter 8 and verse 9, it says, ‘for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.’ Now that's the beauty of it, that's the Great Exchange that He took upon Himself whatever was the very source of poverty because God's desire, God's intent is for us to walk in fullness is for us to not lack any good thing. So, He wants to take care of our needs according to His riches in glory. So, today if you're walking in lack, if you're walking in poverty, if you're walking in this great need, we can look to the cross with great hope and faith and say, God this is your desire that you want to turn these things around that I might walk in abundance, not in arrogance or pride but in true humility, with Jesus in great intimacy with the Lord, to walk in abundance. Shall we pray, Father, we thank you for this great turnaround that the cross has brought about and brings about in our lives. We pray for all those who are walking in lack and need and maybe in poverty and debt, we pray that the power of the Cross will be made evident and apparent in each one of our lives so that in place of lack we might walk in abundance that you are extending to us out of your grace. We thank you, we receive it by faith, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
