Topic: From shortage To Abundance

Text:  "Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store"
(Deuteronomy 28:5).

So many people live paycheck to paycheck and it
seems they have barely enough money to make
it until the end of every month. In a world where
recession has been rampant, some have suffered
from lost wages or even job losses. Savings have
dwindled and for many people have disappeared
altogether. One of the key prophecies God spoke
to Israel through the mouth of Moses was that if
the people would keep trusting God in hard
times, God would see to it that restoration
hovered over their storehouse. This was speaking
of excess resources that are set aside for future
use. God was preparing Israel to not be moved
by circumstances that didn’t seem to be going
like they wanted. He wanted them to know that
no matter what, even when resources were lean
or hard to find, He would see to it that blessing
would return to their savings and storehouse.
God wants to pour excess into your life even
when it seems that there is not enough provision
to go around. We have to believe it simply
because God is supernatural. It’s excess in the
middle of shortage that shows the glorious
power of God in action. We need to expect that
kind of outpouring because we serve the Lord
who turns shortage
into excess and abundance!

PRAYER
Father, I know that You are the God of excess in
times of shortage. You bless my savings even
when resources seem low. I ask You to fill my
storehouse and cause blessing upon it right now
so that I have more than enough! In Jesus’ Name,
amen.
