So many times in life we aren’t asking the right , or the right when it comes to the resources we need to move forward in life.
- Most people never take advantage of or even tap into God‘s abundant resources.
Ephesians 3:20 (Amplified): “God is able to do superabundantly, far over and above, all that we dare ask or think. Infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thought, hopes, or dreams.”
The key to accessing all God wants to do in your life is .
- It’s having a trust in Him even when it doesn’t make sense or even if we don’t know how He is going to do it.
The Law of says we get what we expect out of life.
- We tend to see what we expect to see, to feel what we expect to feel, to act the way we expect to act, and eventually, to achieve what we expect to achieve.
You have a choice today to live in (fear of the unknown) or to live in (living in abundance of God’s resources for your life).
The end goal is not to raise money or build a building, it’s about changing your .
- What happens inside of you during this process is more important than the end result of a building.
There are things we hold onto so tightly that it takes a to let go of them, so we can make room for what God wants to do through us.
- When we are willing to bring them before God, whatever it may be, however big or small, God uses it to do things beyond what we could ever possibly imagine or dream of!

Verse 20-21: “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”
We limit our vision based on our past experiences or even the resources we have available to us.
- But God invites us to dream bigger. To start asking Him for the resources we need through His power instead of our own.
We are not merely passive recipients of God’s blessings; we are in His divine plan.

John 6:11-13: “Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.”
- Do we have this kind of faith? The kind of faith that says I need this to survive, but I have faith that if I give it to God he is going to use it abundantly to bless people and bless me as well?
- The work of God within us transforms our hearts, helping us to overcome selfishness and cultivate a spirit of generosity.
When we give generously, it reflects our in and the belief that He will supply our needs, allowing us to be a blessing to others.
When we understand His towards us, we should be compelled to that same love in our lives.
- We can give generously even in times of scarcity, knowing that God’s resources are limitless.
- When we act generously, we allow God’s power to flow through us, creating ripples of change in our communities and beyond for generations to come.
- Generosity can feel risky. But remember, God’s promise is that He can do immeasurably more. When we give, we’re not depleting ourselves; we’re inviting God to fill us anew.
