“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19, NIV)
GOD PROMISES TO MEET ALL MY NEEDS IF…
1. I ASK
“You do not have because you do not ask God.” (James 4:2c, NIV)
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:7–11, NIV)
“Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy.” (John 16:24, NCV)
2. I LEARN
“I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of [serenity] in every situation, whether it be a full stomach or hunger, plenty or want;” (Philippians 4:12, The Living Bible)
“Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4, NIV)
3. I MAINTAIN MY
“The Lord demands fairness in every business deal. He established this principle.” (Proverbs 16:11, The Living Bible)
“Better to be a poor person who has integrity than to be rich and double-dealing.” (Proverbs 28:6, GW)
“When the LORD blesses you with riches, you have nothing to regret.” (Proverbs 10:22, CEV)
4. I PRACTICE
“The generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” (Proverbs 11:25, NLT)
“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” (2 Corinthians 9:6–8, NIV)
5. I TRUST HIM
“So don’t worry at all about having enough…your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to.” (Matthew 6:31–33, The Living Bible)
