Receiving God's Promises

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Receiving God's Promises

Philippians 4:19 “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”.

How many times have you claimed this promise and wondered if it will work for you?

Does the Bible not say that we can ask God for what we need and He will supply it?
Yes the Bible does say that. There are however some things we sometimes overlook.

In this week morning meal I will be discussing with you six steps we need to look at when we decide we are going to claim a promise from God;

1) Look at the Promise.

Does Verse 19 say that God will supply all your wants? No; it says all your needs! Now we have to look at what we are asking for and realistically examine our motivation. Is this something I want, or is this something God knows is a need for me.

2) Look at the Premise.

What is the context within which Paul writes to the Philippians stating that God will supply all their need? We need to go back a few verses to see the conduct of the Philippians.

Verse 15-16 reads “when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.” When Paul says God will supply their need, he knows that the Philippian Church had taken from the little they had to help the work of God through Paul’s missionary outreach.

When we wish to claim supply of our need from God, we understand that God is no man’s debtor. Paul knew that God had ‘riches in glory’. God is able to meet any need for He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and all the riches of earth are at His disposal.

What are your needs and what do you do to to get them.? You need to do like the Philippians do in supporting God's work in whatever capacity you are call to and surely you will receive the blessing therein

FATHER SUPPLY ALL OUR NEEDS THIS WEEK IN JESUS NAME AMEN
