Abounding
God is a God of abundance. Everywhere He goes; everything He touches; everyone He encounters is subject to His overflow. The outflow of His entire being or nature is increase and multiplication.
If you and I are not experiencing that abundant flow in our lives, we need to ask the Holy Spirit where we are clogging up the pipes. I have been doing some asking lately and “boy” is He revealing and cleaning. It is such a clean sense of connection to the Lord.
Today I did a study on the word “abound” and discovered some beautiful scriptures which I would like to share with you.
How about starting out with this one? A faithful man shall abound with blessings (Proverbs 28:20). Are you faithful? Then you should be abounding with blessings.
In Romans 15:13 we read that the God of our hope is going to fill us with so much joy and peace as we believe Him, and by the power of the Holy Spirit we may abound or be overflowing, bubbling over with hope.
I like that scripture because our hope is being attacked in these end times. Hope is our foundation for faith. Remember that faith is the substance of things hoped for.
God is able to make ALL grace abound toward us, come to us in abundance, that we always having ALL sufficiency in ALL things, may abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8).
In Philippians 1:9, Paul prayed that our love may abound yet more and more until it is fully developed in knowledge of God’s love and comprehensive discernment of it.
In Philippians 4:17, Paul prayed that a harvest of blessings would abound or accumulate to our account. He was talking about increase in our financial realm. Why? People with money are able to finance God’s projects. It is not about our accumulating wealth for our own gain. It is about the end-time harvest. God will bless us also as we unselfishly allow Him to use us as His distribution center. He is looking for more distribution centers. Would you like to be one? I want to be one. What fun it is to give!
The Lord will make us increase and abound or overflow in love one toward another and toward all men (1 Thessalonians 3:12).
The power of God and the gift by grace, which is by Jesus Christ, has abounded to and for the benefit of many (Romans 5:15).
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58).
God has abounded toward us in all of His wisdom and prudence (ability to regulate and discipline ourselves wisely) (Ephesians 1:8).
We thank God, which is fitting, that our faith grows exceedingly and our love toward others abounds (2 Thessalonians 1:3).
It is such a joy to walk with the Lord and watch Him lavishly pour out on every one of us His bountiful supply of health, prosperity, love, joy, peace, contentment, kindness, His power and goodness, and the very privileges and rights of His Kingdom. We are so honored to be called His own. I love being His child. How about you?
