The Keys Of Abundance In Christ

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

The first key to an abundant life is to know that it is the will of our Father that we have one! God is so concerned with us living abundantly that He sent Jesus so that we could. Just take a minute and consider all of the scriptures that talk about our Father's desires for us to have life abundantly. Virtually ever Book in the New Testament proclaims that through Christ we will be victorious as God works through us!

One of the first Truths that God ever shared with me is that He wants us to have abundance in our salvation. “Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.” Hebrews 7:25

Our Father also wants us to be abundantly healthy, as a loving Father should. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” 3 John 1:2

Our Father wants our prayer lives to be abundant. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:” Mathew 7:7

Our Father wants us to have the gifts of His Spirit abundantly as we wait for Jesus’ return. “So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 1:7-8

Our Father wants us to be abundantly prosperous in our finances so that we may be charitable and so that we may be self-sufficient. “And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].” 2 Corinthians 9:8 Amplified Bible

Our Father wants us to have abundant knowledge and wisdom and He wants us to know all things. “But the anointing which ye have received of Him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him.” 1 John 2:27

Our Father wants us to have abundant love. “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.” Ephesians 3:17-19

And Finally our Father wants us to have an abundant relationship with Him. “I in them, and Thou in Me that they may be made perfect in One; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23

These are only a few of the Truths of God, that show us clearly that it is the will of our Father that we have an abundant life. This week God has been dealing with me a lot concerning the fulfillment of His will within our lives. As I look around at most of us I don’t see abundance. I see bits and pieces of the greatness of God, but nothing near what these, and so many other verses have to say about our abundant lives in Christ. And this isn’t our Father's desire for us, Jesus came so that we might have life and have it more abundantly! God is not a man that He should lie and all Scripture has been given to us by His Divine Inspiration. So if our Father had it written, we should all be living it!

So here is what He has shared with me concerning us living in His abundance. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7 Whatsoever we sow is exactly what we are going to reap. And what does the Christian sow? “The sower soweth the Word.” Mark 4:14 The Truth of God is that what we sow is what we are going to reap and Jesus taught us that we are to sow the Word! Think about Jesus, He only spoke the Word of God, because He was the Word of God, and look at what He reaped. Jesus reaped abundance in everything. He knew God’s will for every area of His life. He was able to Heal the sick, raise the dead, preach the Gospel, perform miracles, and be raised from the dead Himself as King of Kings and Lord of Lords! “Whoever says he abides in Him ought [as a personal debt] to walk and conduct himself in the same way in which He walked and conducted Himself.” 1 John 2:6 Amplified Bible Jesus lived abundantly because He abundantly sowed the Word of God and the same holds true for us today. We have access to the fulness of God and the full abundance of God. Jesus told us to go into all of the world and preach the Gospel to every creature and whatsoever things we sow, that is what we are going to reap! Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Holy Spirit will cause us to sow the Word abundantly.

Now we are talking abundance here. Most of us sow some Word and since we do, we reap some Word back, but through Christ we want and desire abundance! We want our Father to use us completely and we want to experience all that He has provided for us! “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Matthew 7:2 If we want the abundance of Christ, than the Truth of God is that we must abundantly sow His Word! This is the key that will bring abundance into all of our lives. This is the will of our Father for each and every one of us! And our Father will never leave us or forsake us, so He is right here with us always empowering us to live a lifestyle of abundantly sowing His Word. He does this so that we may always reap abundantly the blessings of His Word!

The yoke of our salvation is easy to be borne and it is pleasant. “For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good-not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.” Matthew 11:30 Amplified Bible We now have the Holy Spirit teaching us all things and bringing all of the Words of God to our remembrance. “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26 So we are never alone in sowing our Father's Word! We always have God right here with us making it an easy and pleasant thing to do!

Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth will set us free! The Truth is that our Father wants us to have abundance in everything and our example is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! Jesus ever lives so that we may have the abundance of God to the uttermost and He has not given us a spirit of fear in accepting it! All things are now possible for us who love the Lord and God can now do all things through us because Christ has strengthened us! Greater is He that is now within us than he that is in the world and through Jesus we have been perfected, so that we may be the vessels of God’s righteousness. Be blessed this New Years Eve and may the abundance of our Father be all of ours from now and throughout all of eternity, as He leads us and Authors our faith into abundantly sowing His Truth to world!
