Luke 17:21 21… For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”
When you were younger, were you often scolded for not
finishing all your food or leaving the lights and fan on when
you left your room? Were you constantly reminded that there
are people starving in the world, that electricity costs a lot
of money and that money doesn’t grow on trees? Now, do you
find yourself telling your child the same things?
We are naturally conscious of lack, but Jesus isn’t. Even in
the midst of lack, He was always conscious of abundance.
Remember the little boy’s five loaves and two fish? What did
Jesus do when these were placed in His hands? Did He say,
“What do you expect Me to do with so little?” No, His eyes
were not on the natural, the visible, the lack. His eyes were
on the kingdom of God where there is always abundance. So in
His hands, the little boy’s lunch was multiplied, and 5,000
men, not counting women and children, were fed that day! (John
6:1–13)
God doesn’t want you to be conscious of the lack in your
natural circumstances. He doesn’t want you to live by how much
you earn or how much you have in the bank. Now, I am not
encouraging you to spend foolishly beyond your means. I am
saying that God wants you to be conscious of the abundance of
resources in His kingdom.
“But Pastor Prince, where is that kingdom?”
As long as you have received Jesus as your Savior, that
kingdom is in you!
Jesus said that “the kingdom of God is within you”. This
means that the kingdom of God is not some physical place. It
is within you and it is where the abundance of resources is.
So if you want to experience abundance in your life, be
conscious first of the abundance inside you. Then, what is
inside you will become a reality on the outside.
Beloved, God doesn’t want you to be conscious of the lack you
see outside you. He wants you to be conscious of the abundance
within you because His kingdom is within you!
