Bible Reading:
Genesis 1:20-23(NIV)
20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God
blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the
water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

MESSAGE!!!
Our God is not just
the God of creation; he is also a God of abundance. When God creates, He does
not create sparingly. This is why the provision He made in the universe has not
been exhausted.
“And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the
moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven.” Genesis 1:20
The Almighty created
moving creatures because He Himself is dynamic. In other words, stagnancy is
ungodly; it is evil. I pray for someone using this devotional; an end has come
to your stagnation today in Jesus’ name. if lower creatures were created to
move about, human beings, especially children of God, must not suffer
stagnation. Our God is also a God of variety and abundance. He created both
great and small in different shapes and colours. This knowledge must have
informed Paul the apostle to assuredly tell the Philippians that the Almighty
God would supply their needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus
(Philippians 4:19)
Another lesson we can
learn from today’s Bible reading is that God blessed His handwork to be
fruitful and to multiply. Therefore, we see how foolish
anyone would be if he
or she agrees with the devil that God hates him or her. Our God is interested
in the prosperity of His creation! The Psalmist understood this and wrote: “…
Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his
servant.” (Psalms 35:27). Nobody cares more about us than God. His care, mercy
and love are incomparable. Jesus said:
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down
his life for his friends.”
John 15:13
The Bible also says:
“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he
not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). This is why Jesus
said in the gospel according to Luke:
“And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall
drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For
all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father
knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of
God; and all these things shall be added unto you”
Luke 12:29-31
The God of abundance
will meet all your needs this season in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point:
Father, meet me at the point of my needs today
according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
