GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
[And it is indeed, a source of immense profit, for] godliness accompanied with contentment (that contentment which is a sense of inward sufficiency) is great and abundant gain (1 Timothy 6:6 AMPC).
The Bible defines contentment for us in our opening verse as βa sense of inward sufficiencyβ; then it says that βgodliness accompanied with contentment is great and abundant gain.β Paul, by the Spirit, further writes, βFor we brought nothing into the world, and obviously we cannot take anything out of the world; But if we have food and clothing, with these we shall be content (satisfied). But those who crave to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and into many foolish (useless, godless) and hurtful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction and miserable perishingβ (1 Timothy 6:7-9 AMPC).
This is the ordeal of those who struggle to be rich. But you shouldnβt get into that dilemma as a child of God, because being born again, youβve entered into a life of contentment. Youβve ceased from your struggles and the glory of God now works within you.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 8:9, βFor ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.β And in Proverbs 10:22, it says, βThe blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.β This is your life as a child of God! Godβs inherent blessing in your life is the basis for your riches.
Your prosperity is inherited through the Spirit, because youβre the seed of Abraham. In Christ, you have entered into Godβs rest. You no longer worry over your rent and other bills. As Abrahamβs seed, youβre ever aglow, full of praise and giving glory to God.
Function from a place of inward sufficiency, and operate from a vantage position of rest and satisfaction, irrespective of circumstances. No matter the situation, be full of joy; continue to praise, serve the Lord, and delight yourself in Him. Heβll create the opportunities for you to keep making progress from glory to glory.
CONFESSION
Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge you as the Lord of my life; youβre the Lord over my choices, desires, plans, and purposes. Always and at all times, I function from a place of inward sufficiency, and operate from a vantage position of rest and satisfaction, irrespective of circumstances. Hallelujah!
