Memorise:

fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. Genesis 1:22
Read:
Genesis 1:20-23,
20 And God said, let the waters bring forth
abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the
earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21 And God created great whales, and every living
creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their
kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and
multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

day.

MESSAGE
Our God is not just the God of
creation; he is also a God of abundance. When God creates, He does not create
sparingly. This is why the provision He made in the universe has not been
exhausted.
“And God said,
let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and
fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.” Genesis
1:20
The Almighty created moving
creatures because He Himself is dynamic. In other words, stagnancy is ungodly;
it is evil. I pray for someone using this devotional; an end has come to your
stagnation today in Jesus’ name. If lower creatures were created to move about,
human beings, especially children of God, must not suffer stagnation. Our God
is also a God of variety and abundance. He created both great and small in
different shapes and colours. This knowledge must have informed Paul the
apostle to assuredly tell the Philippians that the Almighty God would supply
their needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)
Another lesson we can learn
from today’s Bible reading is that God blessed His handwork to be fruitful and
to multiply. Therefore, we see how foolish anyone would be if he or she agrees
with the devil that God hates him or her. Our God is interested in the
prosperity of His creation! The Psalmist understood this and wrote: “… Let the
Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”
(Psalms 35:27). Nobody cares more about us than God. His care, mercy and love
are incomparable. Jesus said:
“Greater love hath no man than this that
a man lay down his life for his friends.”
John 15:13
The Bible also says: “He that
spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with
him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). This is why Jesus said in
the gospel according to Luke:
“And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or
what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. For all these things
do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have
need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these
things shall be added unto you”
Luke 12:29-31
The God of abundance will meet all your
needs this season in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point:
Father, meet me at the
point of my needs today according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Bible in one year:
Numbers 25:1-27:11, Psalms 147
