Abundance For Lack (Daily Devotional)

Hello and welcome to Living Supernaturally. We are so glad that you could make it today and be part of this daily devotion. We’ve been meditating on the cross and what the Lord Jesus did for us on the cross and looking at the great exchange that has happened because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. This great exchange that He is extending to us is something good, beneficial for us and releases us from pain and into freedom and we have access to this. The Lord Jesus did this great exchange so that we might receive, experience and walk in the fullness of it. We have access to this great exchange which is by grace through faith. It has been extended to us out of grace, not because of our performance or good deeds or righteous living but by His grace freely and all we have to do is receive it gratefully through faith. One of the things that we see that has been extended to us is abundance in place of lack. When we look at John chapter 10, verse 10 it talks about the Lord’s agenda, mandate, His plan and desire. It says, ‘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.’ The Lord’s desire for us to have life in abundance. 3 John 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.’ 1 Timothy chapter 6, verse 17, ‘Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.’ That is God’s heart, for us to walk in the true riches, it could involve finances. True prosperity is everything, it is increase, success and finances as well. The Lord’s heart is for us to walk in the fullness of it and this is the great exchange that was made on the cross that we might walk in abundance in place of lack/ poverty. Let’s look at this scripture, 2 Corinthians chapter 8, verse 9, ‘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.’ That is the beauty of the great exchange that He took upon Himself whatever was the very source of poverty because God’s desire and intent is for us to walk in fullness and not lack any good thing. He wants to take care of our needs according to His riches in glory. So, today, if you are walking in lack/ poverty/ a 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 and in great intimacy with the Lord. 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 those walking in lack, need, poverty and debt, that the power of the cross would 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 receive it by faith, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
