You Lack Nothing
Sometimes, we see ourselves at a disadvantage, thinking we lack what’s necessary for success—
more talent, personality, resources, or opportunities
God has already provided everything we need to fulfill our purpose.
2 Peter 1:3
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence”
2 Peter 1:4: "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
When we trust Him with what we have`
He takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary.
He puts His Super on your Natural and it becomes Super natural
Every one Of you Have Great gifts that are just waiting to Go to the Next Level~
1. Moses’ Encounter: God Uses What’s in Your Hand
Exodus 4:2 – "Then the LORD said to him, 'What is that in your hand?' 'A staff,' he replied."
Moses felt inadequate,
Yet God took something as ordinary as a staff and transformed it to do miraculous things.
"What do you have in your hand?"
What Has God Given to You?
When God Called Moses He had a long list of excuses~
Fear of Rejection: Moses was afraid the Israelites wouldn’t believe him.
Exodus 4:1
What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say,
‘The Lord did not appear to you?’”
You have to get the what ifs out of your vocabulary
What if they do…
He doubted his speaking ability.
Exodus 4:10
“Pardon your servant, Lord.
I have never been eloquent...
I am slow of speech and tongue”
Just an excuse…
Moses was learned in the Egyptian culture…He spoke Egyptian and Hebrew~
But He felt It wasn’t Great~
He looked at his Past Failures:
Exodus 2:11-15
-His previous attempt to defend his people led to what he thought was failure and his fled from Egypt to the Desert~
He Felt Insignificant: After 40 years as a shepherd,
Moses felt unfit for a grand mission.
No matter what you feel about it~
No Matter what your mess ups are
No Matter What the Enemy Lies About you~
God IS FOR YOU~
IF GOD IS FOR YOU WHO CAN BE AGINST YOU ~
“What Do You Have in Your Hand?”:
God used the ordinary staff in Moses’ hand as a sign of His power.
Exodus 4:2.
“Then the Lord said to him, ‘What is that in your hand?’
‘A staff,’ he replied”
God transformed I this simple tool into a means to perform miracles, emphasizing that God uses what we already have to fulfill His purposes..
Moses Had to Place his Dependency on God:
God assured Moses,
Exodus 3:12
“I will be with you”
Making it clear that divine power, not human ability, would lead the mission.
God often uses those who feel weak or unqualified,…
2 Corinthians 12:9
God’s strength is made perfect in our weaknesses
God can turn what seems ordinary in our lives into something powerful
~When we give what we have, BELIEVE
God steps in to do the Supernatural…
John 11:40
that if you would believe you would see the glory of God
2 Doing the Ordinary for Extraordinary Results
John 11:39 – "Jesus said, 'Take away the stone.’"
Jesus at Lazarus' tomb
…If you would have been here our brother would not have perished~
What seemed Jesus Being 4 days late
Went to bring Sick to Being Dead!
But Jesus Said I am the Resurrection And The Life~
John 11: 25
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.
26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
Then Jesus Proceeded-
Jesus asked the disciples to remove the stone,
an ordinary task,
as He could perform the miracle.
At the tomb of Lazarus,
Jesus, surrounded by mourners, was ready to perform a powerful miracle.
Yet, instead of immediately calling Lazarus out,
John 11:39 He first asked the onlookers to “Take away the stone”
Though Jesus could have moved it Himself,
He involved others,
Inviting their participation and faith in what was about to happen…
Luke 18:8, Jesus asks, "Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?".
Speak to the Mountain-
Jesus’ instruction to remove the stone reflects a principle:
GET INVOLVED WITH HIM~ AND WATCH THE MIRACLES
God calls us to act in faith,
even in small, practical ways,
before revealing His supernatural power-
Stepping out of your seat and coming forward
Stepping out of a bad relationship that is pulling you down-
Stepping out of a stale relationship with God
Stepping into A Sold out relationship with God-
This small step stirred their faith and anticipation,
aligning them with the work God was about to do.
Faith, Even in small steps,
sets the stage for greater works and shows our willingness to trust God actively….
When we act in faith—moving the “stone” in our lives by taking small, obedient steps—
What stones do you need to remove from your life to see God Raise from the Dead
YOUR DREAMS & DESIRES?
Remove the stones of hate bitterness resentment…
God does the supernatural.
Sometimes, these small acts may be seeds of faith,
seemingly minor but essential for the larger miracle.
When you Step Out in Faith~
In your giving
In serving God In His Church
In reaching Out to tell someone of God’s Love
In Reaching out to a lost friend or family member~
As We Begin to Roll away the Stones God RAISES THE DEAD~
This encourages us to ask,
What simple step of faith can I take today?
I am Going to Plant a Seed Of Financial Blessing To God’s Church~
In doing the natural,
we sow seeds of faith,
making room for God’s greater work.
You Have What You
Need for Your Unique Calling~
=God will use your everything you have~
Don’t compare yourself to others or feel you’re lacking.
Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not lack.
WITH THE LORD IS YOUR SHEPHERD YOU WILL NEVER LACK~
What you need for your journey has already been given by God.
ROLL AWAY THE STONE
3 Defeating Challenges with the Ordinary
Samson and the Jawbone
Judges 15:15 –He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it.
The Armies of the Philistines
Who were trying to Destroy God’s People
God Told Samson to pick up a Jawbone of a donkey~
Samson and the Jawbone
"Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey, he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men."
God used a common jawbone to deliver Samson from his enemies.
God uses ordinary means within our reach to fulfill His purpose.
What you need is often closer than you think.
Your gift-
Something you think in the natural many times is over looked in the unnatural`
Well I don’t sing,
I don’t Preach,
I Don’t I Don’t I Don’t I Don’t
And you probably DON’T See because you are to focused on the DON’T~
It was the first thing that was available~ God Said Grab it~
He did not argue with God~
Well, This is not the average weapon that is used…
I need more like Pro-Sword…
I need what all the others are using~
NO~ You Go With What God Has Given You~
4 Faith Over Deficit: The Widow and the Jar of Oil
-Elisha, the prophet, is approached by a widow whose husband was a man of
God but has recently passed away, leaving her in debt.
The creditors are coming to take her two sons as slaves to pay off what her family owes.
In her desperation, she turns to Elisha for help…
2 Kings 4:2 – "Elisha replied to her, 'How can I help you?
Tell me, what do you have in your house?'
'Your servant has nothing there at all,' she said, 'except a small jar of olive oil.’”
The widow’s response to Elisha
Well what do you have?
Elisha's response is profound:
he asks her what she already has in her house.
At first, the widow thinks she has nothing of value, replying,
"Your servant has nothing there at all," but then she remembers a small jar of olive oil.
This humble jar, though small, becomes a key element in the miracle that God is about to perform.
Whatever little seed you have God can Multiply it~
Elisha's question prompts the widow to look at her situation with new eyes.
What she perceives as insignificant becomes a resource through which God can work.
Obedience Of Faith-
involves both belief and action,
Romans 16:25–27,
Elisha then instructs her to collect empty jars from her neighbors and pour her little oil into them.
Miraculously, the oil continues to flow until all the jars are filled,
Providing her with enough to sell, pay her debts, and support her family…
She had to WORK in FAITH To SEE THE GLORY OF GOD~
This story teaches us that God can use what we already have, even if it seems small, to bring about a solution that is beyond what we could imagine.
When you plant seed it will GROW~
Everything on the Planet Stats With A SEED~
God Blesses Seed~
"He who supplies seed to the sower" is a verse from the Bible, 2 Corinthians 9:10
It encourages us to trust that God sees value in what we bring, no matter how insignificant it may appear, and that He can multiply it when we place it in His hands.
When you give to the Lord You might think
I Pray This Makes A Difference
IT WILL AND IT DOES~
FAITHFULNESS TO GIVE GOD GIVES MORE~
God’s provision often starts with what we already possess.
God multiplied her small jar of oil to meet her needs and more.
Application:
Even when we think we’re at a deficit, God can multiply what we already have.
Small acts of obedience open doors to great miracles.
5 Trusting God with Small Things for Big Miracles
The Feeding of the 5,000
Scripture: John 6:9-11 – "'Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?
' ... Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.”
The Feeding of the 5,000
In John 6:9-11, we see an example of how God uses faith, even when we have very little.
Here, Jesus is with a large crowd of people who are hungry, and all they have to feed them is a small boy’s lunch:
five small loaves of barley bread and two small fish.
The disciples see this tiny amount of food and think it’s nowhere near enough to feed thousands of people.
When you give to God’s Church You God Blessed it and reaches thousands~
But Jesus shows that even a small offering, when given in faith, can lead to a great miracle.
He takes the little food, gives thanks to God, and starts passing it out. Miraculously, the food multiplies, and everyone in the crowd eats as much as they want, with plenty left over.
This story shows that when we bring whatever we have to God—even if it seems like “not enough”—He can multiply it to do much more than we expect when we give to Him
IT STEPPING OUT
Faith isn’t about having a lot;
it’s about trusting that God can use whatever we bring.
It reminds us that with God, even the smallest offering can become a great blessing when given with a willing heart.
: God used a small lunch to feed thousands. God does not need much; He asks us to trust and offer what we have.
Offer God what you have, even if it feels small. He can multiply it beyond what you imagine.
Conclusion
Reflect on what’s in your hand and what’s in your house. No matter how common or insignificant it seems, trust that God can use it.
Declaration: "I am not lacking; I am equipped, empowered, and anointed."
I Believe that God will turn the ordinary into the extraordinary and provide in abundance.
Philippians 4:19 – "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."
Trust in God's provision and walk boldly, knowing He has given you all you need to fulfill your
