THE GOD OF GENEROUSITY.
He who did not withhold or spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also with Him freely and graciously give us all things.........................God is the giver of life and all things. He is the giver of life and the creator of all things. He created the Heavens and the earth including all things that are existing on earth today. The sun, moon, stars, living and non living things are the manifestation of His creative ability. Interestingly, He created all things including MAN in less than one week. When He created man, He gave man all things that man needed for living a meaningful and enviable life on the face of the earth. When God was creating the Heavens, the earth, the waters and its creatures, animals, the sun, the moon, the stars including all planetary bodies and all things, He had the interest of man at heart. Man would have been stranded on earth without the sun, the moon and the stars. Man`s life would have been cut short without the waters and their living hosts, animals of all kinds etc. Man would have died of hunger without the green plants and vegetation which were created to serve as his food. So, we can see that all things were put in place by God before man was created for his maximum comfort and satisfaction. God Himself satisfied the spiritual need of man through constant and consistent fellowship with him everyday. The dog, lion, chimpanzee, gorilla etc could not fellowship with man spiritually but God met man`s spiritual need by coming down from Heaven everyday to fellowship with him. When man fell through sin, the spiritual contact/fellowship he had with the Almighty God was broken and he also lost touch with all things that God gave him for free for his comfort, satisfaction and sustenance on the face of the earth. He was cursed and he had to till the ground with the sweat of his brow before he could eat. In the garden, he had food for free but when he was sent packing as a result of sin, he had to sweat profusely before he could eat. God had a plan of reconciling man to Himself because of the enduring and everlasting love that He had for him. The curse that was placed on man had to be transferred on the only begotten Son of God who came to the earth in the likeness of man so that man can be free. God gave his best...His only begotten Son from glory so that man can be reconciled back to Him having been set free from the curse that was placed on him at the beginning. When Christ died and rose from the dead, the vale separating God from man was torn from the top to the bottom and the job of reconciling man to God was effected. Christ has redeemed man from the curse of the Law. Christ has reconciled man back to God. Since man was reconciled back to God, man has been reconciled back to ALL THINGS that was lost in the beginning. Man has been restored to health in the place of sickness. Man has been restored to prosperity in the place of poverty, lack and want. Man has been restored to fruitfulness in the place of barrenness. Man has been restored to joy in the place of weeping, sorrow and depression. Man has been restored to peace in the place of tumult and confusions of the mind. Man has been restored to a sound relationship with the God of the whole Universe in the place of separation from the Almighty. Man has been restored to eternal, enduring and everlasting life in the place of eternal damnation. Man has been restored to Heaven in the place of hell. That was the reason Apostle Paul said in the new testament that ALL THINGS ARE YOURS in the new covenant which is ratified/sealed by the precious and stainless blood of Christ which came as a result of His sacrificial death. If God could allow His Son to go through all that He went through to restore and reconcile you to Him, there is nothing on earth that you cannot have as long as you take a step of believing in what He has done for you to become saved if you are not saved and also to take a step of loving him, fellowshipping with Him constantly and consistently and also serving Him with all that you`ve got. I see God freely and graciously/generously giving you all things that amount to your heart desires in accordance to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus in Jesus precious name. Have a great week!
