As you study the scriptures, and grow in the knowledge of God’s Word, you’d discover that everything you could ever want has been provided in the Word. What God wants isn’t for us to use prayer as an avenue to ask Him for the things we need; rather, the purpose of prayer is our fellowship with Him. That’s what He seeks.
1 Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” You’ve been called unto the fellowship of Jesus Christ. That means you’ve been brought into oneness, a partnership or family union with Jesus Christ. If this is true, what in the world could you ever be in need of? Every good thing you could ever want in your life, or have enough sense to ask for is wrapped up in Christ. To have Christ is to have everything.
Our opening scripture says He’s already given you all things that pertain to life and godliness. Your approach to the Word of God should be, “If God says it, then my response is ‘YES’. If He says I have all things in Christ, then it means all things are mine; no need to ask for anything because all my needs have been provided in Christ.” Let this be the way you think. Jesus had no consciousness of need; follow His example.
CONFESSION
I have no consciousness of need, because Christ is in me, and He’s my all! With Him, I have everything. My life is one of ever-increasing glory as I live in, and by, the Word, and constantly fellowship with the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
