How To Live in God’s Abundance
I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
Genesis 22:17-18
God always blesses us so we can be a blessing to others. Yes, He first wants us blessed, but it does not stop there. His abundance is to be passed forward. We are blessed to be a blessing to others. However, there is a journey called consecration that none of us can skip. It is a journey designed to make room for God’s abundance!
1. From Ashes to Beauty
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
Revelations 12:11
God brings leaders and pastors into our lives to help us grow and rise higher. This is how He lifts us out of the ashes of our past and begins writing a new story. What the enemy tried to destroy, God turns into a testimony of His goodness. From brokenness to healing, from anger to compassion, from unforgiveness to forgiveness—our lives become living proof of His abundance.
2. Your Life Is a Story
You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.
1 Corinthians 3:2-4
Our lives tell the story of Jesus. Even before we were born, God had a plan to redeem us and make us a blessing. No matter how broken things may have been, God can rewrite it all into a story of victory and hope. People will look at our lives and say, “Look what the Lord has done!”
3. Blessed to Be a Blessing
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.
1 Timothy 6:17
Abundance isn’t something to fear or shy away from—it’s God’s idea! He blesses us so that we can enjoy His goodness and so that His blessings can flow through us to our families and others. When we understand this, we’ll stop seeing abundance as something selfish and start seeing it as part of our purpose: to receive from God and to give to others.
4. Saying “Yes” to God
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Living in God’s abundance means trusting Him completely—even when things don’t make sense. His ways are higher than ours, and when we say “yes” to Him, we open the door for His promises to unfold in our lives. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable or even risky, but every step of faith brings us closer to the abundant life He has prepared for us.
FINAL THOUGHTS
God blesses us so that His goodness can flow through us to others.
He takes the broken pieces of our past and turns them into testimonies of His faithfulness.
When we say “yes” to Him, He leads us into the abundance He promised—overflowing with blessing, joy, and purpose.
