Abundance Through Faith: Embracing God's Promises

Devotional

Day 1: The Supernatural Light in Our Lives

In the midst of darkness, God's light shines upon us, illuminating our path and providing us with guidance. This supernatural light is not just a metaphor, but a reality that we can experience in our daily lives. It is a beacon of hope and a source of strength that can help us overcome the challenges we face. [10:34]

Bible Passage: Isaiah 60:2 - "For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you."

Reflection: How have you experienced God's supernatural light in your life recently?

Day 2: Upholding Family Values

In a world where values are constantly being challenged, it is our responsibility as believers to uphold and pass on Godly values to our children. We must resist the pressures of society and remain steadfast in our faith, teaching our children the importance of their identity in Christ. [11:12]

Bible Passage: Deuteronomy 6:6-7 - "And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."

Reflection: What steps are you taking to uphold and pass on Godly values to your children?

Day 3: The Wisdom of Godly Wealth

God calls us to be wise with our resources and to avoid the trap of seeking quick riches. True wealth comes from diligent work and obedience to God's word. We must learn to discern God's voice and follow His guidance in our financial decisions. [15:34]

Bible Passage: Proverbs 28:20 - "A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished."

Reflection: How are you applying God's wisdom in your financial decisions?

Day 4: A New Beginning in Christ

Regardless of our past mistakes, God offers us a new beginning in Christ. We are called to let go of our past and embrace the new life that God has prepared for us. This new beginning is not just a fresh start, but a transformation that brings us closer to God's purpose for our lives. [20:50]

Bible Passage: Isaiah 43:18-19 - "Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

Reflection: How have you experienced a new beginning in Christ?

Day 5: Knowing Jesus as Your Lamb

Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Knowing Him as our Lamb means recognizing His sacrifice for us and accepting Him as our Savior. This personal relationship with Jesus is the foundation of our faith and the source of our salvation. [22:30]

Bible Passage: John 1:29 - "The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 'Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!'"

Reflection: How has knowing Jesus as your Lamb impacted your faith journey?

Sermon Summary

In my sermon, I explored the concept of abundance as promised by God, emphasizing that this transfer of wealth and health will occur after a period of darkness. I drew parallels between the last plague in the Bible, where God said, "I will see the blood and I will pass over you," and the saving grace of Jesus' blood. I highlighted the significance of the Lord's meal, which is a form of Easter, and how it was first instituted on the night of Easter. I also discussed the importance of understanding the value of money and gold, and how God promises wealth and health in the last days. I referenced Proverbs 13, which states that the riches of the sinner are reserved for the righteous, and Ecclesiastes 2, which asserts that God is the one who gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy.

In the second part of my sermon, I urged the congregation to be wise and not fall into the trap of quick riches, as the Bible warns that misery will come upon those who are in a hurry to get rich. I emphasized the importance of hard work and the sweetness of the worker's sleep. I also discussed the concept of the dhim, the Hebrew word for rich, and how God enriches us through our work. I concluded my sermon by encouraging the congregation to see more of the Lord Jesus Christ, his wonders, his incomparable beauty, and his glories, and to experience his peace and wellness.

1. "Children of God, be very wise. The Bible says that the old man who is in a hurry to get rich doesn't know that misery will come upon him. The sleep of the worker is sweet. He does his work that enriches and makes him follow. Never fall into the trap of plans to become rich quickly." - 16:28

2. "You have harnessed treasures in the last days. But before the Lord comes, the transfer must take place. God doesn't want money to own you. God doesn't want money to be an idol. God says, whatever you have been robbed of, here is a new start. Don't try to get it back by manipulation, lying, or cheating. If you have to resort to these things, you don't trust God." - 36:38

3. "There's a new beginning. You may have made a stupid mistake or some stupid decisions, but forget the past. It's a new beginning. God wants the whole nation to be saved. If your house is too small for a lamb, we will share it with the closest neighbour depending on the number of people." - 21:38

4. "We are living today the period just before the return of Jesus. So it's the time of darkness, terrible darkness. But the Lord will rise upon you, and his light will be visible. His glory will be visible upon you. There is a supernatural light in your home, in these last days, people of God." - 10:34

5. "The devil is trying to attack your family. He wants to attack the values of your children. Identity comes from parents, not social networks. Light in their homes." - 11:56
