LAVISHNESS OF GOD 2
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.”
1 John 3:1 (NIV)
The richness of God transcends the abundance of currency, silver or gold. The richness of God is not in the resources He has but in the reality of Himself.
He is superabounding in essence and expression. He is the source of what He gives and He is what He gives. Thus to have God is to have an unending satisfaction.
He is lavishing. He doesn’t dispense Himself in smaller percentages. He gives super-abundantly.
God doesn’t hold back. He generously lavishes all He has and yet doesn’t run out of what He gives.
When you have God, you have Him in all of His richness.
This is why you shouldn’t have God and then lack any good thing. God is not a Father who holds back good things from His children.
He gives lavishly!
When men walked in unbelief, lived without Christ, were sinners, condemned because of unbelief, were like corpses, dead in sins and offenses. When they were controlled by religion, man-made customs, and selfish values of this world, dominated by the dark ruler of the earthly realm who fills the atmosphere with his authority and works diligently in the hearts of those who are disobedient to the truth of God. They lived out the rebellious and corruption of unbelief that was sown in them from birth through the deeds and desires or deadly cravings of their selfish-life.
God still loved us with such great love. Because He is so rich in compassion and mercy.
(See Ephesians 2:1-6)
No degree of our wrongs was able to stop God from fulfilling His compassionate plan of salvation.
Though men saw themselves as God’s enemies, this didn’t stop God from being faithful. His steadfast love remains immovable, and the flow of His Mercies continues endlessly.
Are there times when you look at yourself, and feel you have made so many mistakes, disappointed God and hit the bottom of the ocean?
Always remember His mercy is unending.
Even in the Lamentation of the Prophet, he said:
“my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is; so I say, “My endurance has perished; so has my hope from the Lord.” Remember my affliction and my wanderings, the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers it and is bowed down within me.
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Lamentation 3:17-24 (ESV)
No matter how the adversary reminds you of the trouble, the utter lostness, the taste of ashes or defeat, the feeling of depression and hitting the bottom.
Set your mind on the lavishness of God’s love and Mercy. Set your hope and grip on God. His love is loyal and cannot run out, the rivers or well of his mercifulness cannot dry up. A day wouldn’t end without the unceasing flow of His mercies. He will always and at all times lavish and soak you with His compassionate love.
He doesn’t hold back His kindness and care; He abundantly overwhelms you with His mercies.
Enjoy the abundant supply of God in this new season.
Hallelujah!
