IGNORANCE ISLAND

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). – John 10:10 (AMPC)

Abundance is here now. The lifestyle that your shepherd wants you to have and enjoy is full of abundance. But one of the biggest thieves of this heavenly lifestyle is ignorance, which is a sign of immaturity. In Ephesians 4, it describes ignorance as a device used to separate you from the life that God has for you. When ignorance is removed all abundance will be released.

In some cultures, certain drinks are intentionally poured until they overflow. It’s symbolic of generosity with a desire for the recipient to have abundance come in their life. The objective of the pourer or host is to ensure your enjoyment by never allowing your cup to be empty.

God is the pourer and is saying that He wants you to have as much as you desire. God can’t run out. So yield your cup to Him and watch Him keep outpouring and overflowing. When He finds someone yielding, the blessings must flow. Therefore the more you yield, the more He fills. Let Him overflow you again and again and again.

Say: My cup runneth over.

And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. – 2 Corinthians 9:8 (AMPC)
