What's the Key in Receiving God's Abundance?

"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 9:8 NIV

This Is the Bible Verse that I am sharing today. 

Hi. This is John once again and this is the third installment of my Sunday Reflection series. And the focus for this Sunday is abundance.

Disclaimer

First, a little disclaimer. I am not a pastor, nor a religious leader. I am just an ordinary person who loves to study the Word of God. What I will share with you is based on my understanding and reflection.

I will divide this verse into two parts. What can God do?

"And God is able to bless you abundantly…"

Clearly, God can bless us abundantly. And he can do so anytime right? But why did the author, St. Paul, use the words 'is able'? (Or at least when translated into English.)

Why didn't he say "God will bless you" instead?

Surely, God, the creator of the universe, can bless us abundantly with a snap of His fingers… and He doesn't even need the Infinity Gauntlet with the Infinity Stones.

But no, God doesn't work that way. He is not a genie 🧞  that will instantly grant our wishes.

St. Paul knows that. And he states that in the second half of the sentence.

The Purpose

" so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work"

God blesses us with a purpose. And the purpose is not just to give us everything that we need. 

If you take a look deeper in that phase, God gives us all that we need so that we don't have to worry about them anymore so we can focus on doing every good work.

But what is that good work?

Generosity.

Here is the answer and key in receiving abundance.

"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."

2 Corinthians 9:7 NIV

Yes, God loves a cheerful giver. And God blesses those who are generous. And we are blessed so we become blessings to others.

And I supposed you have realized that the generous tippers here are also those who has been blessed abundantly.

Have a blessed Sunday.
