There Is No More Lack

When God made the stars in the sky, He spoke to the atmosphere.
When God made the vegetation on the ground, he spoke to the ground.
When God made the fishes in the water, He spoke to the sea.
When God made the living creatures on the ground, he spoke to the land.
When God made man, He spoke to Himself.

To date, all these creations are still abiding to God’s proper order in dispensing their functions as God intended for them. The stars still shine in the sky, the vegetation still grow on the ground; the fishes still live in the sea and the living creatures still living on the ground. All creations of God are still intact with His original purposes except man…

God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Man live because the Spirit of God is in him. Man still feeds himself with the produce from the ground to obtain nutrition for their body. Their physical bodies are still growing. To the world, man is still living but man’s spirit was dead.

Sin… disrupted this calling. Sin entered when Satan deceived man to acquire his twisted sense of identity, not living in dependence of the Tree of Life, but trying to be like God, knowing good and evil. It was a deceived and a corrupted perception of what God had intended for man to be. It was a lie and a twisted motivation for a man to be what he already is. The lie in the Garden invented a lack in man that was never there and thus can never be satisfied. This is the fundamental principle for all religions in this world motivated by the devil! Those who live in this darkness are susceptible to chasing after many needs unnecessarily. Religions arise from the lack in us and created a deceptive mindset that we love and do things because we must, not because we appreciate and find value. True freedom exists only in His love not us trying to love. Our love without knowing that we are His beloved become a bondage in our Christian life...

After the fall of man in the Garden, The Grace of God is the spiritual providence and is lavished to man to guide him back to the Tree of Life. When man alienated from His grace, the lack in man misdirected him to seek purpose and identity in the flesh and the physical realm. What an ill-fit for a spirit being! Seeking identity in the flesh led to competition, pride and selfishness with the resulting hurt and depression from failing expectations. Religion is established unintentionally on merit and deserving system. It’s a dog eat dog situation, and licking the wounds or pouring salt on the wounds when you get a chance! It is man living an utterly senseless life of lack of the knowledge and the will of God, perverted from the original perfection and rest that was eating from the Tree of Life or is in knowing Christ as our life.

Today, the devil is still using the same lie to deceive man. To set us free from this deception, Apostle Paul had poured out his heart in Ephesians Chapter 1 to satisfy the lack that is in our hearts with his precious revelation of Grace. In Christ Jesus we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.

By His grace, we have everything and there is no lack. Do not push away His grace and entertain the lie that lets religion reign in our life.

Ephesians 1:16~17: I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

If we have Christ, we have everything. There is no more lack in us... because of His Grace...! Depending on His grace should be our lifestyle if we are a born again Christian!
