LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY - Life More Abundantly Series 010
"And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:"
John 10:10 talks of Jesus' ministry - "To give life and give it more abundantly." Meaning, to give the bustling or burging life. When a thing is given in abundance, what image is painted? The Bible speaking says, "The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully..."
"Plentifully" is the same word as "abundantly." The image being portrayed is that of numerosity. This man wouldn't have thought of where to keep the fruits of his harvest if he didn't have plentifully.
"12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?"
He had a problem of where to store his fruits immediately his land brought forth plentifully. This is a yield beyond the normal. It is an extraordinary yield of abundance different from what he had any time known before. So, when Jesus says, "I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly", you can begin to imagine what that means. It means to have a life of many blessings - garnished and lacking nothing on all sides. A life that'll be so much harassed with overflow that it'll seek new places to keep them and whom to give them to. You can't carry some weight and not shed it. Part of the weight I carry are these teachings I shed on daily basis in what I called the devotional. The devotional is a product of my own intimacy with God. I was not thinking of blessing you when I haven't been blessed by God first of all. I couldn't have gone into writing if I didn't have an overflowing cup caused by study, the Spirit's inspiration and God's anointing. If I had started in pretense, I would have stopped because I would have become dry like a bone by now. However, I am not finished. Rather, I'm still welling up with substance and surely will continue in that unto the perfect day. All these became possible because I one day received the living water (Christ's life) into my life. It's this Christ's life that I've jealously groomed that has led to its constant welling. It is out of my own water I am now pouring out for people to drink. However, the initial deposit was from God.
It means, "the more abundant life" is the rich life. First, in spiritual substances and qualities that we've examined. That life has peace like no other. The fruits of the Spirit are parts of what make this life the more abundant life. It is a life filled with many of Christ's blessings. When Jesus says, "I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly" He immediately assures you'll have an unhampered life. A life where you have all the supplies that could keep you running. Those supplies will be so numerous that it'll litter your life in abundance. They'll keep welling, showing forth and manifesting. They'll be products of Christ's life in you that has now turned into a large river that's still cumulating.
I pray that you will not be empty of God's blessings. In growth, you will grow so that you can reach the mind of God for you and be wealthy in all things. Jesus has not come so that we can live a hampered, hindered and unfulfilled life. He came so that we can have life and have it more abundantly. He wants you to have a teeming mind, one bustling with ideas and creativity. He has given us a long rope and elasticity to live or aspire to. While this prioritizes inner joy and satisfaction yet it will overspill into the daily bread and necessities with which God will satisfy you also. You can't but have your meat from God. The Bible says in Psalms 104 : 27-28, "27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good."
We are filled with good and that's because God gives us. We have life and life more abundantly because they are promises that are possible which we have now accessed in Christ. The elasticity of God's promise to us is not only life but life more abundantly (the teeming life). If that be so, may our land - starting with our spirit, soul to other ventures begin to bring forth abundantly. Any inactivity is revived and called forth into productivity. We are not alone but meant to germinate and bring forth large yields. We have been sown into - given Christ's life. We will maximize all it could do.
PRAYER: Lord, I have Your life in me. Therefore, I know life more abundantly and teeming productivity/creativity in my soul. Through life and life more abundantly, make me a teeming blessing to others.
