Open Heaven 30 July 2025 – The All-Sufficient God
Posted by OpenHeavens.com.ng
MEMORISE:
READ: Psalm 23:1-6 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
The first record of God introducing Himself in person to man by His name was in Genesis 17:1, and He said, “I am Jehovah El-Shaddai.” This is often interpreted as ‘The God who is more than enough.’ However, some Bible scholars have said there is a deeper meaning to the name as it also describes God as an inexhaustible source for our nurturing. This implies that God is saying, “You can draw everything you need for growth and a fulfilling life from Me.”
My God is the All-sufficient One. David said in Psalm 23:1, “The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want.” Philippians 4:19 says that God will supply ALL your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. The Bible says further in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” These and many more Scriptures give me the assurance that if I am linked with the All-sufficient One, it is impossible for me to lack.
God daily loads us with benefits (Psalm 68:19) – He gives us benefits every single day! When He wants to supply your needs for a day, He can use various methods.In 1956, I was living with an uncle in llesha, a town in Western Nigeria. He was a drummer whose only source of income was whenever people invited him to play the drum. When he doesn’t receive any invitations, no money comes in, and we will starve. On a particular day, both of us were hungry, and we hoped that somebody would come and invite him to drum. After a while, a girl came to us with a big bowl on her head, dropped it, and said, “My sister said I should give you this food.” My uncle said, “I don’t know your sister.” The girl replied, “Well, my sister knows you,” and she turned around and left.
Immediately after she left, we opened the bowl and found pounded yam and chicken stew in it. We had been starving, so we descended on the food without delay. As we were breaking the chicken bones, the girl came back and said, “I’m sorry, I came to the wrong house,” but it was too late. When God wants to supply your needs, He can divert blessings that do not seem to be yours to you.
Beloved, never worry about your needs. Trust and obey the All-Sufficient One, and you will always have all you need and more.
The name El-Shaddai reminds us that God is more than enough. Even in scarcity, He provides. Don’t limit Him to natural means — He is supernatural. Stay connected through obedience, praise, and trust.
KEY POINT:
God is inexhaustible; stay connected to Him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
HYMN 16 – ‘Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus
1. ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to take Him at His Word; Just to rest upon His promise; Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.” CHORUS: Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him! How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er! Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus! O for grace to trust Him more! 2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus, Just to trust His cleansing blood; Just in simple faith to plunge me ’Neath the healing, cleansing flood! 3. Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus, Just from sin and self to cease; Just from Jesus simply taking Life and rest, and joy and peace. 4. I’m so glad I learned to trust Him, Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend; And I know that He is with me, Will be with me to the end.
✝ CALL TO SALVATION ✝
If you haven't yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, don’t delay. Say this prayer sincerely:
"Lord Jesus, I come to You today. I repent of my sins. Please forgive me. I believe You died and rose again. Come into my life, be my Lord and Savior. I surrender all to You. Thank You for saving me."
