BE CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, βNever will I leave you; never will I forsake youβ (Hebrews 13:5 NIV).
God wants our lives to be void of covetousness; donβt lust after what belongs to others. Be content with what you have. That doesnβt mean you shouldnβt dream or desire to attain greater levels of success; rather, it emphasizes being fulfilled and understanding that what you have is enough to get whatever else you want. But the truth is that there isnβt really anything that you donβt have.
The Bible says all things are yours (1 Corinthians 3:21); better than that, Christ is in you, and Christ is everything. So, in Him you have all things. When the crippled beggar at the gate of the temple called βBeautifulβ asked Peter and John for alms, Peter didnβt say, βI donβt have what youβre asking for,β and walk away; he knew he had something, and what he had was enough to produce whatever else may be required. He used what he had: the Name of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit, to effect a cure and restore life to the manβs hitherto dead and crippled limbs.
Always be conscious of what you have: the power and glory of Christ in your spirit. Your heart is the habitation of the Lord; do you know what that means? The ability of God is operational in you. How could anyone know this and ever be in lack or need or be envious of others? Thatβs why this knowledge is coming to you now, so youβd be content and confident in who you are, what you have, and all that Christ is to you and in you, and has wrought in your spirit.
Never think, βIf I only had this or thatβ; you have whatβs most important: Christ; and thatβs all you need. Christ in you is the hope, the guarantee that everything else you could ever require is already in you. Glory to God!
PRAYER
Precious Father, youβre my all; I thank you for filling me with yourself, which is the greatest and best of allβChrist in me! Thatβs my assurance that everything I could ever require is already in me as I produce fruits of righteousness for your glory, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
