whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, Titus 3:6

The Scriptures teach us that God does everything in abundance, much more that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).  For this reason we must meditate on them in order  to discern and understand the blessing that Jesus has bestowed on us, and receive what the Lord desires that we have or need.  His share was fulfilled, but ours will be from faith to faith in Christ, according to our belief in Him. The divine gifts belong to those that are called!

The Savior said He came to bring us life, that we may have it abundantly (John 10:10b) and for this reason we must live in His promise, refusing to accept any scarcity be it mental, material or spiritual.  If we do not claim this generosity we will fall short of achieving successful what He has bestowed on us.  Therefore, for your own good, now and in the future do not allow the enemy to involve you in his temptations.  God is faithful!

Samson’s strength was extraordinary but it was like a sample of the anointment from God when received during the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which gives us authority to defeat the works of darkness.  ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former”, (Haggai 2:9); accordingly we can expect that in the spiritual realms our strength will be greater than Samson’s against the Philistines.  It is time to carry out the work as it should be.

When he was arrested at Gethsemane, Jesus said that if he wished, he would pray to the Father and He would send 12 legions of angels to protect Him.  If these legions had the same number of soldiers as the Roman army, Christ would have 72 thousand angels to confront a handful of soldiers that were coming against Him.  Let us take this as a lesson: if we are being attacked by the enemy, we can ask God to send the necessary rescue.

When the King of Syria sent part of his army to take the prophet Elijah prisoner to his country, Elijah prayed to God to open the eyes of his assistant who was desperate seeing so many surrounding adversaries.  So he saw the mountain full of chariots of fire and their horsemen (2 Kings 6:17).  When you feel threatened, pray to God and he will give you the necessary strength to solve any difficulty. Follow the lead of the Holy Spirit.  The Lord is faithful!

When He multiplied the five loaves and two fish for the purpose of feeding five thousand men besides more women and children,  Jesus fed all of them and there were 12 baskets left with bread pieces (Mark 6:41). He always supplies our needs.  As He does supply us we see that He exceeds our imagination.  His fetes are abundant so we can thank Him for there will be no want or lack.

The faith He has given us must be applied even to move a mountain or a berry tree. It has an extraordinary power equal to that of a mustard seed: that even though being the smallest of seeds, when planted, becomes a very large tree that harbors many birds. Do not squander or waste the power sent by the Most High when you seek help from Him.  Discover what the Lord promises and ask Him for this; then have faith, believe and be blessed. 

In Christ, with love,
