KEY SCRIPTURE:2Co 3:5 KJV “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;”

Christianity is the answer to the human failure. It is an initiation into a life of a superior influence. 2 Peter 1:4 KJV ” Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.” This verse tells us that through our encounter with the truths of scripture, we become partakers of the divine nature, and as a result, we escape the corruption that is in the world. To know that God, the creator of the heavens and the earth is our sufficiency should put our minds to rest about anything that may appear to threaten, or look unsurmountable. With such a knowledge that Jesus is our sufficiency, we stop fighting any opposition or challenge by ourselves or might. We face every one of them knowing that it is actually God or Christ Himself handling these matters through us.

This was the insight David the anointed King, yet a shepherd boy knew and evidently acknowledged. He told the giant Goliath 1Sa 17:45 KJV” Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.” David knew the Lord was his sufficiency, and so the battle was a forgone conclusion. He was the victor even before the contest. David was so sure of victory that he ran to face that giant. He was never disappointed.
God would always honour His word whenever we approach any opposition, knowing that He is our sufficiency.

There are many Christians who are living under various forms of torment emanating from all kinds of worries. Many are tormented by fears of all kinds. The fear of shame, sicknesses that are afflicting them, debts of all levels and some non-existent ones. All these torments come to them because they have not acknowledged that God is their sufficiency.

Dear child of God the very moment you accept in truth that Jesus is your sufficiency, every tormenting fear will lose its grip over you. You would instantly be free, and the Lord will deal with the situation for you.

Apostle Babalola of blessed memory was praying in a bush when he saw a huge python approaching him. He continued praying even after the creature attempted coiling around him. This beast was stricken by the power of God and died. The man of God knew Jesus was his sufficiency and did not fear at all about the threat posed by the creature. Nothing can harm you when you trust the Lord.

CONFESSION

God the monarch of the universe is my sufficiency. I do not face life by my might or ability. His presence and power have now taken over everything about me. There is nothing dangerous that I fear. There is nothing too big for me to overcome. I live a life of perfect peace. Glory be to God.

THOUGHT: STOP FIGHTING AND ALLOW JESUS FIGHT THROUGH YOU.
