1. Jesus & Holy Spirit - Our Comforter & Guide
Jesus promised that he would be with us all the time Mt 28:20. He will not leave us as orphans Jn 14:18. He and His Father, our Heavenly Father will make Their home with us Jn 14:23. He will send the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth from the Father, to us Jn 15:26,16:8. They will give us the power, wisdom, guidance, help and whatever that is needed to accomplish His purpose for us when we are willing to abide.
We plan our future according to what we have. God wants us to take our eyes off relying on ourselves and our resources but to trust Him and see His plan for us. Planning according to our limited resources keeps us where we are. He who called us will also help us accomplish His purpose for us. In 1Ti 6:17, we are not to set our hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.
In the 2 miracles of feeding the multitudes,
- 5 loaves and 2 fish fed 5000 men with 12 baskets left over ... Mat 14:17-21
- 7 loaves of bread and a few fish feed 4000 with 7 baskets left over ...Mat 15:34-37
Count on God and not be limited by what we have now.
You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth (Deu 8:18)
2. Word - Bible
The Bible is our "Instruction Manual" for a truly successful life. We need to refer to it and follow it in all our strategies. “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16–17)
3. Authority
Believers have Spiritual Authority that non-believers don't have. As Believers, we should exercise our authority to command health, wealth, favors, and good relationships that we had in the spiritual world to be realized in this physical world. We can break through the obstacles that the enemy puts in our way. We are given authority when we heed Mat 28:18-20.
In Luk 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
1Jn 4:4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
4. The Church or Body of Christ
We are not alone physically in this world. We have brothers and sisters in the Church of God that could help us. They can be our source of wisdom, encouragement, correction, and help.
