Transcript of 9 abundant life
ABUNDANT LIFE
Seminar
Ephesians 3:20“Now to Him who is able
to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us.”
Abundant: Abound; Fullness; An over abundant
measure, something above and beyond
the ordinary.
How do we attain it?
1. Absolute
dependence on God
Genesis 17:1 “When Abram was ninety-
nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God
Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a
blameless life.”
Abraham, a man of
determination
Genesis 14:22-23 “Abram replied to the king of Sodom, “I solemnly swear to
the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth,
that I will not take so much as a single thread or sandal
thong from what belongs to you. Otherwise you might say,
‘I am the one who made Abram rich.’”
Abraham made a covenant of
dependence on God, to believe that
God was his only source of provision.
Abraham new those riches came from the
hand of God, that’s why he became one of the most powerful men of
his time. His dependence on God was
absolute.
2. Putting
priorities in order
Matthew 6:33 “Seek the Kingdom of
God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you
everything you need.”
3. Free from
covetousness
Psalms 62:10 “Don’t make your living by extortion or put your hope in stealing. And if your wealth increases,
don’t make it the center of your life.”
4. Being Faithful
Stewards
Matthew 25:20-21“The servant to whom he had
entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said,
‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’ The master was full of praise.
‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in
handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more
responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’
5. Receiving the Abundant Life.
John 10:10“The thief comes to
steal, kill and destroy, but I have come that you might have life
and life more abundantly.”
Romans 12:2“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new
person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to
know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”
Renew Your Mind
We can only conquer our abundant life through the
cross. It was there that Jesus canceled every
curse and argument that was against us. Therefore
we need to walk with a renewed mind.
