Topic: Unlimited Blessing

Text: "And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every
several gate was of one pearl: and the street of
the city was pure gold, as it were transparent
glass"(Revelation 21:21).

When you look at the Old Testament tabernacle,
even in the temple of Solomon you see
structures that were created with such a level of
extravagance that it is hard for our modern
minds to even picture such splendor. Entire
furnishings were made of absolutely pure gold.
Most people today can’t even afford to buy a tiny
ounce of gold, which is about the size of two
quarters. Yet God is building furniture with solid
gold! But that isn’t all. If you take a glance at
Heaven, we find the streets paved with gold and
the gates covered by large pricey pearls. God
has some pretty elaborate things!
A lot of people believe that God doesn’t want us
to have anything that is too fancy, and yes, the
Bible does draw attention to how materialism
gets people’s focus away from God. However,
not everyone is bound to materialism, and there
are some good-hearted believers and ministries
who will use these resources for God. Average
has held the Body of Christ back in many things.
I believe to help prosper the Gospel, we need to
tap into the “extravagance and splendor” side of
the Lord. Let’s stop asking Him for too little and
expect a measure of resources that removes the
limitations we have known.

PRAYER
Lord, I ask You to provide a new level of
resources for Your people. Lord, even as you
bless me in a greater way, I commit to make the
Gospel my first priority. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
