Focus On God Not Provision - 43

FOCUS ON GOD, NOT PROVISION – FEBRUARY 22, 2021

 

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

                                                                                                                                                - Matthew 6:33

 

 

In today’s 2 Empower U, Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach will share with you his knowledge and experiences on the importance of focusing on God. He will help you learn to focus on God instead of on money, provisions, and on other worldly things. If you hang on to God, if you depend on Him, He will take care of you. If you are faithful in doing what God wants or asks you to do first, He will give you whatever you need.

 

GOD IS THE SOURCE OF YOUR SUPPLY

 

“God is the source of my supply. God is the one I depend on.”

                                                                                                                                                - Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach

 

People and things – all those worldly riches that easily tempt you – can come and go. But God is always there. God is permanent; He never leaves you. If you make a mistake, or if you fail, He does not leave you. He waits for you to pick yourself up and He will be there to guide and help you recover. He should be the only one you must depend on.

 

The Pastor wants you to remember that:

 

God is the source of your supply. But, you have to know how and what to ask from Him. Remember that God is BIG. He can bless you and everyone else in His Kingdom. So, you do not have to worry or allow jealousy to eat you up. God will help you prosper.  God delights in your prosperity.

 

“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.”

                                                                                - Ephesians 4:23

 

Pastor Thomas explains this verse clearly: When things happen to you, you immediately start thinking that God has showered you with provisions. But this is only possible if you start to renew yourself in the spirit of your mind – when you think of God first before anything and anyone else.  Instead of focusing on worldly things, you will find yourself seeking for God’s provisions right away.

 

“First things first Seek God first.”

                                 - Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach

 

“Before it happens on the outside, it must be settled on the inside.”

                                                                                                - Pastor Thomas A. DeLoach

 

Settle everything in your heart and mind today before you can get your supply.

 

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH

 

Lastly, the Pastor wants you to be aware of a divided heart. There are people who are divided because they say one thing and then do another. Do not be one of these people. You have to practice what you preach.

 

Focus on God and His promises. Seek God. Chase God. Let God into your life and allow Him to work His wonders. Never allow anyone to pull you away from God. Instead, do what God tells you to do, and your supply will overflow.

 

Say this every day. Let this be your daily motivation:

GOD IS WHAT I SEEK, NOT MONEY. GOD IS WHO I SEEK, NOT PROSPERITY.

 

Go back to God. Pray and talk to Him. Seek Him first before anything and anyone else.
