Rest and be Supply-minded
Gospel of grace was revealed to the Apostle Paul. He preached all over world and all known world was saved.
Something abt the revelation he had of grace. Is what Christ has done.
Christianity is not DO, is DONE!
Right believing has got to do with right “object”
The righteous shall live by faith. When u believe right u will live right.
See the supply!
Acts 13:38-45
Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses. Beware therefore, lest what has been spoken in the prophets come upon you:
‘Behold, you despisers,
Marvel and perish!
For I work a work in your days,
A work which you will by no means believe,
Though one were to declare it to you. ’”
Blessing and Conflict at Antioch
So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. Now when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
On the next Sabbath almost the whole city came together to hear the word of God. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy; and contradicting and blaspheming, they opposed the things spoken by Paul.
Paul preached in full and unqualified manner!
Salvation is full free and unqualified!
Grace is not a topic. Beautiful salvation sent by God.
Entire city came together to hear the gospel preached by Paul.
The jews were filled with jealously. This is not about doctrine
Acts 13:14-16
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. And after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men and brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.”
Then Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen:
Luke 10:38-42
Mary and Martha Worship and Serve
Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”
And Jesus answered and said to her, “ Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”
No one can take Mary away from her position. This is a chosen place. She chose it.
Always choose to do the thing we wanna do – to put Jesus first.
When the Lord repeat a name twice, what He is going to say next is very important.
God supply me the strength, favor and grace.
Are u troubled or worried about many things? Could it be He is calling u by name? Do that One Thing and we won’t be worried about many things.
No one can take that One Thing away from us.
Be supply minded and be open to Him. Good part is excellent portion.
The Father saw us a far off! He is always looking at us!
The prodigal son was a far off and the father saw him. The father hugged him, and clothed him before he finished his rehearsed speech. He was embraced by his father’s lavish grace.
The fatted calf was killed in front of him to show him the sacrifice done for him.
The boy had nothing to do but to receive the supply.
The older son was angry. He refused to go in so the father came out. His elder son was demand minded.
Luke 15:28-31
“ But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him. ’
“ And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours.
Grace is supply and law is demand.
John 1:16-17
And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
The Father wanna supply all these time! All that He has, is ours!
Repent! Change your mind!!
Because the elder son believed wrong, he could not enjoy.
God’s answer for celebration is it makes Him happy when someone is found!
Religion does not come close to the true gospel.
I just trust Jesus for favor. And we will walk into the place free of stress.
Jesus said don’t worry about tomorrow.
Manna fell on the dew of the ground.
We are the generation that will see the double portion of supplies!
This is right believing.
Don’t let our eyes be on horizontal level. Focus on vertical level!
Genesis 3:1-6
Chapter 3
The Temptation and Fall of Man
Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. ’”
Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Be careful of people like this. They put a question, put a doubt.
Genesis 2:16
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
King of Judah. Many of them were good kings.
2 Chronicles 25:9-11
Then Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel?”
And the man of God answered, “The Lord is able to give you much more than this.” So Amaziah discharged the troops that had come to him from Ephraim, to go back home. Therefore their anger was greatly aroused against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
Then Amaziah strengthened himself, and leading his people, he went to the Valley of Salt and killed ten thousand of the people of Seir.
The Lord is able to give you much more than this!!!
Amen!!!
God and I are majority!! Hundred thousands of enemies without God are minority!
Numbers 11:11-16
So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me? Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You swore to their fathers? Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat. ’ I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now—if I have found favor in Your sight—and do not let me see my wretchedness!”
The Seventy Elders
So the Lord said to Moses:“Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.
Every morning since they came out of Egypt, manna has been falling. God has been supplying!
The anointing on Moses was more than enough. But when Moses said he cannot, the Lord asked him to gather 70 to help him.
Moses lost some of his dignity. Still same power.
Moses took the rock and hit the rock.
David sinned against God. He had a few wives but he was not satisfied.
2 Samuel 12:7-8
Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel:‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!
If we lack something we can’t get from outside what is in the inside.
Jesus first miracle was turn water into wine!
Stop looking around! Look to Jesus and ask Him for! He would have given us much more!!
Philippians 2:12-13
Light Bearers
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
This is written to beloveds, us!
It is God who works in us for us to work out! God is always working in me! Giving us desire and power that we did not have before! God gives us the willingness. God supplies it. Work out what God works in. Work out our salvation when God works it in for us.
We don’t have something, don’t push it.
He will give us the willingness and performance
We are saved by grace!
Work it out in the way we do our business. With integrity.
Work out because it is God who works in.
God is constantly working in us!
Whatever God demands He will work in us.
Fearing and trembling because of something good that was done in her.
Jeremiah 33:9
Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it. ’
Step into the supply. Be a Mary and not a Martha.
Matthew 6:25-34
Do Not Worry
“ Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
“ So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
“ Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat? ’ or ‘What shall we drink? ’ or ‘What shall we wear? ’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Righteousness is a gift. All theses things will e added to us.
Don’t act as if God is not watching over us.
Just live one day at a time. Every single day will have its supply.
True Repent is change your mind. God is in love with us.
God teaches us from within.
Jesus offer one sacrifice for sin forever! Done deal!
God deal with us based on Son and not sin.
As Christ is, so am I in this world!
We deliver from self-occupation to Christ-occupation!
Our posture is to sit down believe and receive!
Those who receive the most give the most!
The lesser we have the more He gets the glory!
The bigger the problem the easier for God!
The Lord is able to give me much more than this!! Amen!!!
Jesus is meant to be the centre of our marriage and life.
If what He has given to us is not enough, ask Him! He would have given me much more!!
Numbers 11:11-16
So Moses said to the Lord, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all these people on me? Did I conceive all these people? Did I beget them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land which You swore to their fathers? Where am I to get meat to give to all these people? For they weep all over me, saying, ‘Give us meat, that we may eat. ’ I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me. If You treat me like this, please kill me here and now—if I have found favor in Your sight—and do not let me see my wretchedness!”
The Seventy Elders
So the Lord said to Moses:“Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tabernacle of meeting, that they may stand there with you.
God did not ask Moses to supply. Moses is a vehicle that God supply through him.
It is a fine line to cross from demand to supply.
Jeremiah 33:9
Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it. ’
Fear and tremble in awe!
