OUR SUFFICIENCY

“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God” (2 Corinthians 3:5)

The Amplified version renders our opening verse thus: “Not that we are fit, qualified and sufficient in ability of ourselves, to form personal judgments or to claim or count anything as coming from us, but our power and ability and sufficiency are from God.” Therefore, we’re to know and recognize God as our qualification, competence and strength, and not have confidence in our physical abilities, knowing that He has endued us with power from on high.

This understanding informed David’s mentality when as a stripling he confronted and defeated the great Goliath of Gath. Conscious of God’s ability at work in him, he looked at Goliath and said, “…You come against me with a sword, and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the Name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied” (1 Samuel 17:45 NIV). How important it is that we live and walk every day in the consciousness that we are fully kitted with God’s glory and power because we function in His Name!

Our sufficiency is a God-sufficiency! The power and ability by which we function are of God; that makes it unlimited! That means there’s no limit to how much you can achieve and how far you can go on your journey of success, because the power at work in you is of God!

If you’re born again, you’re more than a blessed man or woman: you’re actually a blessing. Most of God’s people need to grasp the greater truth that they have become the blessing! Not only did God bless Abraham, He also made him a blessing: “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). This didn’t end with Abraham, for the Bible says “…If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29). To be in Christ means you’re born again, thus all the blessings God endowed Abraham with are now your present-hour possession, making you a package of divine blessing. I would to God you’d realize what a blessing you are as a Christian. No matter the health condition a person may have, just touching you in faith could heal him or
