(by pastor Jean)

“And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Phil 4:19; AMP). God is an “over and above” God, He doesn’t just meet our needs, He “liberally supplies” them. In 2 Corinthians 9:8, the apostle Pual shows us that God will make favour and blessing come on us in abundance, so much so that we can give to others in abundance (see also 2 Cor 9:10,11). John 10:10 is a familiar verse to many, Jesus tells us He came to give us an abundant life. The word for abundant is “perissos” which actually means exceedingly abundant, over and above, more than is necessary! Wow! In John 1:16 we read that “For out of His fullness (the superabundance of His grace and truth) we have all received grace upon grace (spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, favor upon favor, and gift heaped upon gift” (AMP). Eph 3:20 tells us that God is able to do, “superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think (infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes or dreams” (AMP). It doesn’t get much better than that! In the Old Testament we are told that if we tithe, God will pour out so much blessing on us that it will be too much to contain! (Mal 3:10). God is a generous God and He is our example in giving; one way we can show our love and appreciation for God is by being givers ourselves, “Freely you have received, freely give” (Matt 10:8).
