You can confess day in and Day out that God supplies all your needs but if you are not depositing
Anything into your heavenly bank account, then you have no reserves to draw upon.
Phil 4:19 Not just anyone can quote this scripture and see the blessings of the text
We need to know the bible and who this scripture is for
Amp: But I have (your full payment) and more; I have everything I need and am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent me. (They are the) fragrant odor of
An offering and sacrifice which God welcomes and in which He delights. And my God will liberally
Supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus
Paul promised god’s abundant supply- but notice to whom he was giving the promise.
He wasn’t speaking to just anybody and everybody. He was speaking specifically to those who were
Walking in the principles of God’s word, those who were giving
The word who ministers spiritual things to you is owed material things. These ppl were being blessed
By receiving from Paul great spiritual blessings!
Go with me to Luke 8:1-3 who ministered unto him of their substance. TO JESUS
Guess what? The kingdom of God is first
Unless we put the kingdom of God and His righteousness first in our lives, we have no right to expect
To receive ‘all the other things; we want to be added unto us Matt 6:33
Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Consider your ways. Ye have sown much and bring in
Little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you but there Is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put into a bag with holes Hag 1:5-6
No matter who much money you make the Lord said to His people it seems like you’re just putting
It into a bag with holes in it. Why? What was causing the ppl in the days of Haggai to always be living
On a lower financial level thank they should have been? What were they doing wrong?
Read Hagg 1:7-12 You put yourselves before me
You put your own priorities before the priorities of God
“Forsake not the assembling of yourselves together” COMMAND
You’ve become selfish and lustful
You want to satisfy your own selves and to make your own lives comfortable.
You’ve stopped building my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In order to construct elegant places for yourselves
You have put off construction of the house of the Lord year after year while you have heaped up more and more possessions for yourselves
SO I HAVE SHUT UP HEAVEN!
YOUR NOT GOING TO BE BLESSED ANYMORE
NOBODY IS GOING TO GIVE UNTO YOUR BOSOM
NO WINDOWS OF HEAVEN OPEN
UNTIL YOU BUILD THE LORDS HOUSE-
Now the temple is made from the earth and breath of God-- where is it? It’s in you and its in me How dare we work out physically, naturally, emotionally and with higher education while the temple of God the spirit of
God that lies in YOU IS IN RUINS! Its wasting away----------- as you seek after “OTHER” “things”
Heaven is shut- no more blessings, no more gifts from ppl.
UNTIL ORDER IS RETURNED TO YOUR HOUSE AND THE LORD’S HOUSE
