And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready ~ Luke 14:17.
Introduction:
God is always open-handed to supply His people with all good things that appertain to life and godliness, but mortal men are not always well positioned to receive them because of lack of adequate knowledge.
We know from fundamental wisdom, and basic laws of demand and supply also confirm it, that any good thing being anticipated must be available in order to complete any supply transaction.
In this regard, I am highly enthused to inform you that all you need now, or can ever desire to have, are presently available in the divine realms of glory, whatever they may be.
The word, ‘supply’, as used in Philippians 4:19, is from the Greek word, ‘pleroo’, which means to make replete, to level up a hollow. It also means to furnish, to imbue with, to impart richly, to diffuse thoroughly, and to satisfy absolutely (Luke 2:40). To supply is to make full, as in a crammed net, or to fill completely (Acts 2:28; 13:52).
Since God is our Source, the abundant heavenly supply is there for us, every time and everywhere. However, it is located in the divine base of glory, which is an exalted state of blissful perfection where God dwells.
Without doubt, these heavy heavenly supplies are available now! They are real and very tangible, even though our physical eyes may not see them because they are located in the glory realm. Nevertheless, that is not an anticlimax!
Please recall that not all important things can be seen with the physical eyes, even the indispensable ones. For example, we do not see the air we breathe, the thoughts we think, or our essential internal human organs. Moreover, even though God and heaven are very real, yet they are ostensibly invisible to the ordinary human eyes.
Similarly, the fact that we cannot see spiritual commodities of victory, healing, enlargement, prosperity, etc., with our physical eyes does not in any way diminish their realities or decrease their goodness.
Meanwhile, until the heavenly resources become effectual for us in the physical realm, they cannot be really enjoyed. No wonder, Elisha prayed that God should open the eyes of his panic-stricken servant to see that the angelic warriors who were with them were more than the physical entities that were arrayed against them (2 Kings 6:14-17).
The right question, therefore, at this stage is: how do we make supernatural provisions real? Or, how do we compel them to manifest? Simply put, we must work rightly on the defined spiritual processes to make them perceivable and truly accessible.
To clearly understand this concept, let us see how some ostensibly inaccessible phenomena are made accessible to people in our daily human interactions. For example, ‘thoughts’ are ‘inaccessible’ by virtue of their being private.
However, when someone desires to communicate his thoughts to other people, he deliberately works to make such private thoughts perceivable to the public by engaging in displays with his body and voice. Otherwise, the public cannot even know that such thoughts exist.
Likewise, even though heavy heavenly resources surround us completely as the air surrounds us in the physical realm, yet they remain invisible until we engage our spiritual eyes of faith to ‘behold’ them, and to compel their manifestations (Romans 9:33).
God does not withhold any of His goodly resources from His people, but the believers must behold them by faith to receive and to enjoy them. That is the first law of manifestation for all human expectations, whatever they may be. Or else, they remain merely provisional.
Seeing With the Eyes of Faith
When we behold the rich resources of heaven with our eyes of faith, they are translated into ideas and are, thereafter, formed into tangible entities (Luke 1:45). Certainly, faith in God is the law of life (Romans 1:17; 2 Corinthians 5:7).
Thoughts are offsprings of ideas; they are things! Thoughts on the Word, well coordinated, crafted and harnessed can change the world. Yes indeed, the mind that processes godly thoughts is a veritable mine of wealth.
One wise man said, “the empires of the future are empires of the mind”. Until you can picture what you need with the camera of your mind, you may never be able to pick a picture that will eventually transform your future.
Ideas are products of the mind, and when your ideas are masticated enough, the invisible wealth in the realms of glory will naturally manifest for you. It is wealth of the mind that eventually translates into riches in the physical world.
This clearly explains why the devil always tries to attack and build his strongholds around the human minds, knowing fully well that once he captures the mind, he can control the lines of supply. The devil is never miles away from any man, only minds away.
We must train our minds for maximum benefits, never allowing them to be corrupted by what we see, what we hear or how we feel (Philippians 4:8). Of course, this calls for a conscious and a deliberate exercise to evidence the needed supply.
If your star is to be productive and truly celebrated, your mind must be very constantly overhauled by the truth of God’s Word (Romans 12:1-2). Guard your mind and your everyday musings jealously. Out of them will come forth ideas that could eventually enthrone your destiny.
Anytime you notice that your heart is being infiltrated by bad or erroneous thoughts, push them out, destroy and perish them immediately (Genesis 13:14). A wrong thought will generate a wrong belief, and a wrong belief system will eventually vent out in a wrong word.
Each time you speak a wrong word, you limit your Source, deny your supply, and you inadvertently open the door for the devil to build bulwarks against the manifestations of your supernatural provisions. This is a typical costly error people make in their walks of faith.
Just imagine a child born into a noble family but who chooses to live like a common pauper, denying values, blasting and blackmailing the family everywhere he goes. You say, that is a child that causes pain! But, that is exactly what we do each time we engage in negative confessions that contradict the provisions of God’s Word.
Brethren, let us pull through right now, demolishing any stronghold of evil. Annihilate them, ripping through and scattering them in the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7).
Everything Is Available Now In Jesus’ Name
Meanwhile, our supernatural supply of God’s resources can only be drawn from the Bank of the Riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. Hence, it is essential that we master how to regularly engage the authority of Jesus’ Name to draw as much as we want of these resources, any time we want them (Philippians 2:9-10; Proverbs 18:10).
There is nothing, covered by God’s covenant promises, you can ask of the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that He won’t give to you. Even, in the unlikely event that the thing is out of stock, God will create it for you (John 16:23).
Friend, whatsoever thing you need, call it forth in prayers of faith, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Everything is kept in His custody, and whatever He does not offer cannot be obtained. You shall not fail, in Jesus Name. Happy Sunday!
