The title of this article is God is Enough. By the help of the Holy Spirit, the Lord will be opening us up to see His sufficiency and understand and believe because the Bible says faith comes by hearing, and hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. So, if you don't hear the Word of God, if you don't hear certain truth that are salient in the kingdom, your faith concerning that area will not be built. So, if you want to have faith for your finances, then you must hear the Word of God as regarding your finances. If you want to have faith for health, then there must be a hearing and hearing and hearing by the Word of God that you have heard concerning your health that makes that possibility a reality in your life. The Holy Spirit is exposing us to see the God that is enough so that our faith can be built.
I marvel at the awesomeness of God, that for every time He wants to let us reach out into a level of deep, it opens up continually to us a revelation in that area, so that our faith can be built and we can possess our possession. Just like in the book of Obadiah; the Bible says upon Mount Zion, there shall be deliverance, and holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possession. So, the possessions that we possess in the kingdom is by the reason of the Word. So, every time God wants us to possess our possession in the kingdom, it comes by revealing His word to us, as the word is revealed, and we receive it, we possess our possession. And I believe that all that God has for us in this season, all that God has prepared for us at such a time as this; we will possess in the name of Jesus. We will start our consideration as we look at God is enough, from Luke chapter 18:27, Jesus made an emphatic statement about God, Luke chapter 18:27, “but He said the things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Jesus said, the things that are impossible, meaning that there are things that are possible with men, but when man enters into the realm of impossibility, when man becomes limited, He said with God, these things are possible. What an emphatic and bold statement that Jesus made, He said the things which are impossible. So, when you are looking at man, you are looking at a limitation.
When you look at a man without God, you are looking at limitation, you are looking at a person or a being that is limited on every side. So, Jesus was saying to us, that the things which are impossible with men, the things that have limitation with men, the things that men cannot make possible; with God, it is possible. What is this statement introducing us to? This statement is introducing us to the possibility that is in God, why is it that it is possible with God? What makes it possible with God, the things that are impossible with men? I'm sure we have met, we have heard, or we have seen men of stature of timber and caliber, men that if they blink their eye or snap a finger, things can walk, things can happen. But Jesus is saying here that the things these men that looks as if they have everything working for them, there are still things that are impossible; He said but there is a being, there is a personality, there is a person that if you are with all things are possible. And He said, God. So, God is the God of all possibilities, meaning that God has no limitation, God has no boundary. That's why you see in the Scripture, the Bible says that the fullness of God fills everything, because God is without boundaries. Human beings have boundaries, human beings have jurisdiction, God is without jurisdiction or boundary; His jurisdiction is everywhere, no boundary; that’s who He is. So, because human beings have boundaries and jurisdiction, they are limited. As powerful as the President of the United States is; he has a jurisdiction, when Russia attacked Ukraine, as powerful as the President of the United States is; he could not stop it. As powerful as the UN as a body is on the earth right now, they could not stop it. When drought and famine is going to take over and ravish nations, all they can do is to send aid; they can’t stop it, because they have jurisdiction. They are men, the best of men is men at their best. Men are limited, they have jurisdiction, they have boundaries, but this God is without boundary, He is without jurisdiction.
Let us see 1 Peter chapter 5:10, because we're establishing why God is enough. Why is God enough? Why is this statement that Jesus made in Luke 18:27, powerful and potent? 1 Peter chapter 5:10, but may the God of all grace. Jesus made that statement in Luke 18:27, that with God, all things are possible. Then Peter speaking here, in First Peter 5:10 said, “but may the God of all grace”, why are things possible with Him? He is the God of all grace. What does this mean? “But may the God of all grace who has called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered awhile, perfect, establish, strengthen and settle you.” No man can settle another man the way God will, because every man has a limitation but God does not have limitation; why? He is the God of all grace. I want to dissect that a little. Why is He the God of all grace? Why didn't the Bible say, He is a God of grace? Why is He called the God of all grace? Because when we look at that statement, He is saying that God is not just a God of a grace.
God is not just the God of the grace, He is the God of all grace, meaning that there are different forms of grace. And all Grace; He is the God, the sovereign ruler, the appropriator of all grace, how do I know this? Revelation chapter 5:12, “saying with a loud voice, the elders and the living creatures, worthy is the lamb who was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” Worthy is the Lamb. Why do we call what Jesus possess grace? Because, what Jesus possess is everything that God has chosen to give to us. God is the God of all grace, because He received power from the Father, He received all grace. So, when we are talking about the God of all grace, He has all grace, but who received the grace for us, Christ Jesus received the grace for us, and what are the forms of grace available in God, the God of all grace? He started listing them to us in Revelations 5:12, power, so He is the God of power; He has enough power, He is not limited in power. He does not have a jurisdiction when it comes to power. Did it say God only has a jurisdiction or power in heaven? No! that's why Jesus said, all authority in heaven, and on earth has been given to Me; He has enough power. What is that form of Grace? Power, He is the God of all grace. So, when He wants to settle you, He settles you in power, not limited power, enough power. Number two, riches; He said, silver and gold are mine, the cattle upon a thousand hills are mine. God is not limited in riches; the richest man on earth, his wealth and his riches; they are limited, they have jurisdiction and they have boundaries. But God is the one that owns all of the heavens and all of the earth. The possessor of heaven and earth, He has enough riches, that's why in Malachi; God was saying, He said see; when I ask you to try Me, He said I am not asking you to try Me because I am handicapped. He said, try Me; you bring these resources into My house if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out; what? Blessings.
He was speaking to the children of Israel in Deuteronomy chapter 28 when He was saying to them; He said if you will obey My commandments, and follow them, He said, I will bless you, these blessings will come upon you and overtake you; God has enough, enough riches. Who can bless a man and cause the blessing to overtake? God. So, He has enough riches, He has enough wisdom; the Bible says, if anyone lacks wisdom, let Him ask from God who gives liberally and upbraideth not. Why does He give liberally? He has no limits, He has enough; He has enough wisdom at His disposal. So, God is enough, He is the God of all grace. So, when we're talking about God of all grace, and we are asking for grace, what form of grace are you asking the Lord for? Is it power? Is it riches? Is it wisdom? Is it strength? He has enough strength. God said to Paul, He said, My grace is sufficient for you. What grace was God talking about there? He now came down, He said; for My strength, the form of grace that appeared to Paul was strength; He said, for My strength is made perfect.
When something is perfect; it is enough. My strength is enough to handle your weakness, no matter how weak you are, God’s strength is enough. No matter how poor you are, God’s riches is enough. No matter how weak you are, God's power is enough. No matter how foolish you are, God's wisdom is enough. He said, and honour, that's another form of grace; He is the God of all grace. He has enough honour; He said, if you will honour Me, I will honour you.
He said those that even honour you, I will honour them; He has enough honour. It is men that honor and go back backbiting. Jesus was speaking in Revelations; when He was speaking to one of those churches, He said, when you overcome; I would declare your name before My Father and His angels, was He speaking to the church? Yes, one of the churches, see that kind of honor. He said I would declare your name before My Father and His angels, highest level of honour; God gives the highest level of honour. See how God honoured Daniel, he was a slave in a foreign land and God honoured him. See how God honoured Joseph, a prisoner became a prime minister overnight. No man can give that kind of honour; if Potiphar was to honour Joseph, will he make him prime minister? Never. But see how God honoured Joseph, see how God honoured David; God has enough honour. If the kind of grace you desire is honour, God has enough. He said I will give you beauty for ashes. He has enough honour.
Glory, this is another form of grace. He is the God of all grace; He has enough glory. That's why God said; My glory will I not share; My glory is enough for Me but I am jealous over My glory, because if you don't share My glory, I will share My glory with you. That's why Jesus was made the request because He knew the glory was there. He knew He is the God of all grace, He said Father glorify Me with the glory. Glorify Me with the same glory that I had with You. Did God fail? Did God say; Jesus the glory has exhausted, the glory has finished? No, He glorified Him. That’s why the Bible says; the Father has given Him a name that is above every other name, at the name of Jesus; the Father glorified Him. So, the Father has enough glory. When the Father is glorifying a particular person, don't think God's glory is exhausted, it will not come to you, He has enough. If He glorifies one son, it's not at the expense of another. He has enough glory; He doesn’t run out of glory and blessing. He is the God of all grace; all these forms of grace are available in Him. That's why in that 1 Peter chapter 5:10, Apostle Peter was making us understand; but the God of all grace.
God is enough; every form of grace is available in Him. Enough riches, enough power, enough wisdom, enough blessing, enough honour, enough of everything. Ephesians chapter 3:20 (Amplified), “Now to Him, who is able to carry out his purpose and do superabundantly” (I love that word), superabundantly. When you are done abundantly, you've done so much. But the Bible says, “He's able to do superabundantly more than that which we dare ask of Him or think infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hope or desires, according to His power, that is at work within us.” To Him who is able. God is not just enough, He is able to do. God is not just having all these graces enough, He is able to make that grace available to you. So, it’s the question of ability, we have looked at the capacity of God, that He has more than enough. And we have seen it in the pages of the Scripture.
Now let us look at His ability, God is able; He's not weak, God is not foolish. You know, sometimes, we, as human beings, because of our limited knowledge, limited understanding, limited wisdom, we often think God is weak. Sometimes we even think God is slow. Sometimes we even think that maybe God is not aware. But that's not true. Because you see one thing about God, and that's why Apostle Peter was helping us to understand, he said, a thousand years before Him is like a day and a day is like a thousand years. Because if you operate in the realm where God is operating, you will understand that He is not
