can face any challenge in life. You can do what others cannot do because you are so sure oof

your ability in Christ.

2. Abundance of things – 1Chron. 22:4, Ps. 52:7, Job 36:28, 1Chron. 29:21, Deut. 32:2
Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his
riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness (Ps 52:7).

Let face it, who owns the whole world, who created the cattle in the field, who created all
the ocean and animals and trees and crops and plants? It is still the same Jesus. Who created all

these fishes in the sea? Who created all the human beings on the earth? It is still the same Jesus.
The world in God has put men in a world of abundance, abundance of rain, abundance of sun,

abundance of moon and abundance of the sky. Then He said, “if you then being evil know how to

give good things to your children how much more will your Father in heaven give to them that
ask Him”. You are in a position to live in abundance of the blessings of God. That means so

many things. It means sufficiency. Sufficiency differs from people to people but this is God’s
will for you. It means plenteousness. It means abundance. It means riches. It means over flowing.

It means plentifulness. Can’t God do this for you through Christ? Of course, He can, you just

have to believe that He is able to do it and He is willing to do it. But you are not going to live in
abundance on the platter of gold, He has also given the various conditions under which you can

live in abundance. Hard prayer, hard work and hard faith are the requirements for you to live in
abundance. You must believe in yourself. You must believe in the ability that Christ has given

you and by so doing you can release your faith to live in abundance.

3. Abstinence

The power of God in you through Christ allows you to say no to sin and yes to

righteousness. Wherever you go, temptations abound but we can renounce sin. We can avoid
temptations. You can deny yourself and hold yourself together in the midst of those trials and

temptations. To abstain means voluntary self denial or the deliberate giving up of something in
order to achieve another goal. When you are christian, the power of God is upon you to

overcome any attack or temptation anywhere. As a christian, you should have no excuse to sin.

This is because of the inherent power of Christ that is in you. You can let go of sin. You can
restrain yourself. You can turn a new leave. You can become a new person. You can cub yourself

and forbear and have a self esteem on things. You don’t allow the world, the devil and the flesh
