See The Abundance Within You
Luke 17:21
21For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
When you were younger, your parents probably scolded you many times for not finishing your food or leaving the lights and fan on when leaving your room. You were constantly reminded that there are others starving, electricity costs a lot of money and that “money doesn’t grow on trees”! Now, you find yourself telling your child, “Don’t you know how expensive this meal is? Why can’t you choose something cheaper?”
We are naturally conscious of lack, but Jesus isn’t. Even in the midst of lack, He was always conscious of abundance. Remember the little boy’s five loaves and two fish?
What did Jesus do when these were placed in His hands? Did He say, “What do you expect Me to do with so little?” No, His eyes were not on the natural, the visible, the lack. His eyes were on the kingdom of God where there is always abundance. So in His hands, the little boy’s lunch was multiplied, and 5,000 men, not counting women and children, were fed that day! (John 6:1–13)
God doesn’t want you to be conscious of lack in your natural circumstances. He doesn’t want you to live by how much you earn or what you have in the bank. Now, I am not saying that you spend foolishly beyond your means. I am saying that God wants you to be conscious of the abundance of resources in His kingdom.
“But Pastor Prince, where is that kingdom?”
As long as you have received Jesus as your Saviour, that kingdom is in you!
Jesus said that “the kingdom of God is within you”. This means that the kingdom of God is not some physical place. It is within you and it is where the abundance of resources is. So if you want to experience abundance in your life, be conscious first of the abundance inside you. Then, what is inside you will become a reality on the outside.
Beloved, God doesn’t want you to be conscious of the lack you see outside you. He wants you to be conscious of the abundance within you because His kingdom is within you!
