The God of Much More

I woke up at 3.20 this morning. While in the bathroom I decided to continue praying for tonight's Ladies CG as we'll be talking about spiritual warfare. I'm quite concerned overall in leading on this topic as what could possibly happened to the ladies as they make their way there tonight and what oppositions might come their way as they decide to come. I decided instead of worrying just continue praying in the spirit, the Lord prompted my heart – “I am the God of much more”. My faith arise toward God. I know that God is already at work in the ladies life and Ladies CG.

He is not a God who only does “barely” or “just enough” to grant us what we pray for but He is indeed a God of much more.... much, much, much more able to astonish us with answers to our prayers.

I have been praying for my colleague and directors at work. This morning when I came into the office, I heard a familiar voice playing in the background which sounded like Pastor Joseph Prince. I was guessing my new colleague was playing Pastor Joseph Prince's message on his laptop as I sent the link to him few days ago. He was saddened by things happening in life and also for someone he cares about. I have been praying for his salvation, encouraging him and also sharing to Him about Christ. He would come down to my office to talk to me from time to time. What an encouragement that he told me he likes the sermon and is listening ever since. Praise the Lord!

I have also seen the transformation God is doing in my Directors' lives they seem calmer and joyful as I continue praying for them everyday. They will share with me things that concerned them and close to their hearts and without me saying anything about Christ, one of them said I know it's because you're a Christian that's why you are able to do this that others won't or said he loves sharing his thoughts with me so I can share with him my thoughts. There's more laughter, joy and smiles around our office more than ever before. God truly answers prayers. We can still find joy and courage in the midst of challenges in life.

Praise the Lord that even though it was raining dogs and cats, the ladies who had confirmed coming to Ladies CG all came braving the weather except one who couldn't due to work. We had a good fellowship and learning from God's word and one another. God is faithful to answer our prayers.

Having a mindset that God can do much more, it doesn’t only get us excited to pray but it’s also a reality according to Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

1 Chronicles 4:9-10 "Now Jabez was more honourable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, 'Because I bore him in pain.' And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, 'Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain.' So God granted him what he requested"

Let’s have constant expectation of good when we come to the presence of the Lord so that we will find strength and faith to live a life that exudes the glory and reality of our God.

No prayers are too big, too small or difficult for God (Jeremiah 32:17). In all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us (Romans 8:37).

Jesus said, “If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him” (Matthew 7:11).

He is the God of much more. He is always present, always willing and more than able to do His wondrous works in our lives!
