No Lack Or Want

-
But my God shall supply all your need according to
his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). 
Paul understood the message of the new
creation; notice that he didn’t say, “My
God shall supply all our need….” He knew that the
new creation isn’t in lack or want; the new creation
doesn’t need to be “supplied”; he’s the supplier!
Romans 8:17 says we’re heirs of God, and joint-heirs
with Christ. Paul, with this understanding, said to the
spiritually immature, “But my God shall supply all
your need….”
When you’ve come of age, you’ll realize that
in Christ, we don’t have any unmet needs. Matthew
6:33 says, “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and
his righteousness; and all these things shall be added
unto you.” When you seek the Kingdom of God first,
every good thing you could ever wish for would be
added to your life, without you having to ask. You
won’t need to try to be happy, fulfilled or triumphant
in life; you won’t need to pursue the things that the
Gentiles seek: fame, money, recognition, acceptance,
etc.; they shall be added unto you.
This doesn’t mean that after you’ve first sought
and got the Kingdom of God, then you can go and
seek other things; no. Seek the Kingdom, and you’ll get

the rest of them combined. You may say, “Yeah, that’s  why I’m seeking the Kingdom of God.” No, don’t seek anymore; you already found it, if you’re born again; you’re already in the Kingdom, and the Kingdom is i you (Luke 17:21). To have the Kingdom is to have all things. Glory to God!
Don’t look at what you may consider a need; look at what He’s lavishly made available to you in Christ. You were called unto the fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ; that means you’ve been brought into oneness, partnership or family-union with Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 1:9). If this is true (and it is true), what in the world could you ever be in need of? Affirm God’s Word
on your life; He has said all things are yours; declare the same, because truly, there’s nothing you require that hasn’t been provided in Christ. Hallelujah!
Confession
I testify that all things are mine!
I lack nothing, because the Lord
is my sufficiency; He makes me
lie down in green pasture; He
leads me beside the still waters!
His divine power has given me
all things that pertain to life and
godliness. Glory to His Name
forever!

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

-

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
