Unlimited Supply
The Book of Philippians is known as the ‘letter of joy”.
When the Apostle Paul writes Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!, we must realise that he writes about joy while inside a jail! Our attitude decides our altitude and not our circumstance or situation.. How do you see things and handle things?
Philippians 4:18-19 “I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
The gifts that the church sent to Paul were considered an acceptable and fragrant sacrifice. In return, he says that God will meet their needs according to the riches of God’s glory. D.L. Moody, a great man of God, calls this verse the ‘blank cheque’. Imagine a very wealthy man gives you a blank cheque and gives you the opportunity to write out whatever you need. This is how God meets your needs.
“My God” is the name of the Bank, “will meet” is the promise, “all you need” is the amount, “His riches” is the capital, “in glory’” is the address of the bank, “Christ Jesus”, is the signatory and finally, this cheque must be endorsed by the person to whom it is made payable.
He knows what you need and will provide according to His RICHES in GLORY in Christ Jesus! We only need to encash this cheque By faith.
However the context for verse 19 is what is written in verse 18. Because the church opened their hands towards the Kingdom of God and towards the man of God, God opened his hands towards the people! We give according to our means, God gives according to his riches!
Your supply doesn’t come from people or from the world, your supply comes from Jesus!
Deuteronomy 28:12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
If you look to the world for your supply, you will be disappointed. But those who look to the Lord will not be put to shame because He opens His storehouses to you! There is no shortage or famine in heaven!
You will lend to many nations, and you will borrow from none. This promise was given to the Jews. We see this in the world today- the top executives and wealthiest people in the world are Jews. This promise of God is the secret behind the success of the Jews. They have the blessing that turned the desert and wilderness into a place ripe with harvest! God can do the same for you.
God’s source and provision is unlimited. Only God can open the storehouses of heaven. In this verse, we see that we need to partner with God. This is why the best investment is to invest in the kingdom of God. God doesn’t desire to do things alone on earth. Right after He created the earth, he gave all ownership to Adam. He likes to partner with people for His Kingdom- not because He can’t do it alone, He is El Shaddai, but He loves to involve us.
When Jesus preached on the mount, He was teaching thousands of people. But in order to feed them, He received an offering of bread and fish from a young boy. He could have created bread and fed the people but He loves to partner with us.
Even in Paul’s ministry, the people of the church partnered with him financially to support the churches in need.
God is looking for partners in His ministry. He doesn’t want to do things without us. Jesus is the cornerstone but he looks for the five fold ministry as stones and each one of us as living stones to build the house of the Lord together.
If the rich value money and wealth more than God, they will never enter the Kingdom of God. This doesn’t mean rich people won’t enter heaven- because we know of many people in the Bible who were rich- including Apostle John, Joseph of Arimathea, and Nicodemus. Only those who honour wealth more than God will find it difficult to enter heaven.
Proverbs 3:9,10 Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
If you honour the Lord with your wealth, you will be prosperous. When you honour the Lord, He honours you as well.
God has given us a blank cheque. He can provide for us according to His riches. We only need to encash this. We need to partner with Him and honour Him with our wealth.
