According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to
glory and virtue (2 Peter 1:3).
As you study the scriptures, and grow in the knowledge of God's Word,
you'd discover that everything you could ever want has been provided in the
Word. What God wants isn't for us to use prayer as an avenue to ask Him for the
things we need; rather, the purpose of prayer is our fellowship with Him.
That's what He seeks.
1 Corinthians 1:9 says, "God is faithful, by whom ye were called
unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord". You've been called
unto the fellowship of the Jesus Christ. That means you've been brought into
oneness, a partnership or family union with Jesus Christ. If this is true, what
in the world could you ever be in need of? Every good thing you could ever want
in your life, or have enough sense to ask for is wrapped up in Christ. To have
Christ is to have everything.
Our opening scripture says He's already given you all things that
pertains to life and godliness. Your approach to the Word of God should be,
"If God says it, then my response is 'YES'. If He says I have all things
in Christ, then it means all things are mine; no need to ask for anything
because all my needs have been provided in Christ". Let this be the way
you think. Jesus had no consciousness of need; follow His example.
CONFESSION: I have no consciousness of need, because Christ is in me, and
He's my all! With Him, I have everything. My life is one of ever-increasing
glory as I live in, and by, the Word, and constantly fellowship with the Holy
Spirit, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Further Study: Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing
by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known
unto God.
1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are
yours;
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his
riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
