Pastor's Message

This month one can really begin to sense the heat of summer in this part of the world. As summer is now fully underway, let’s refresh ourselves with some basic teaching from the Word of GOD.

Prosperity and Abundance for the believer is a part of God’s divine Nature. God created great abundance when He created the earth. He then handed the earth over to mankind. God produced the herb, which yielded seed and the fruit tree, which then in turn yielded fruit.

Gen. 1:11,12
11 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

God produced every living creature and actually commanded them to produce abundantly:

Gen. 1:20-22 20 Then God said, "Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens."
21 So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

Now over in the New Testament, the apostle taught us that as believers we are to inherit this abundance.

2 Peter 1:3,4 3 “as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

If God has already provided then what is the “hold up?” It must be on our side, the receiving side. Perhaps for a multitude of reasons believers can not receive. Having said that, we need to believe that we can receive ALL that God has made and given to us NOW. Really, what we originally thought about it is NOT as important as what the verses above tell us.

This month make a quality decision to focus on one single fact God has already given you ALL THINGS that pertain to Life. I like to say it this way…God has already given the “stuff” that you need for life…just thank Him and receive it in Jesus’ Name.

As always remember to say the following aloud with conviction this month:

“I’m believing to be at the Right Place, at the Right Time saying the Right Thing...and the Right Thing to say is the Gospel of Jesus Christ!”
