Message
Before traveling, Pharez’s dad told him to go to the store close to his school to get pen, pencil, notebook etc., anytime he had a need and that the storekeeper would give him. Wondering how the storekeeper would give him all those things without going with money to pay, he did not go to the storekeeper and did not have them. Unknown to Pharez, his dad had deposited a large sum of money with the storekeeper to pay for whatever need Pharez would have.

God has made more than enough provision for all your needs. All things that you need to live a godly life, succeed in your academics and grow to be like Jesus were made available through Jesus’ sacrificial death at Calvary. God also promised to give them to His children who desire and ask for them. Yes, you can have them all. The promises of God and His unlimited power form the basis for possessing all that is available in Jesus Christ. Forgiveness of sin, victory over temptations, pure heart, power of the Holy Spirit, success, healing and health and much more. Have you received them? It is not enough to know about them, you must desire them, trust in God’s faithfulness to give them to you, pray and receive them.
Further Reading: Matthew 7:7-12
Prayer for today: Dear Father, please help me to desire, pray and possess all that You made available for me.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
