SUFFICIENCY IS NECESSARY. Click and read more.




 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear Lord the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies. (Deuteronomy 33:7)
                 
We continue to look at the content of Moses’ prayer. Like I said previously, may the Lord bring you to your own people in Jesus name.

The prayer continues with “let his hands be sufficient for him. Judah was an able bodied man with hidden potentials. When we come to God we must realize that His grace is sufficient for us when we trust. There are times I feel incapacitated when the evidence of sufficiency is not visible. At such times I stop and take a look on the inside and remember the Word of God and affirm what He says about me.  This reminder gingers me on.

God has clearly stated in the first chapter of Genesis that we are made in His image and created after His likeness. That means that when He looks at you and I there are attributes of Him He expects us to manifest as His children. God is Creator and he desires that whatever deposits or potentials in us should serve as raw materials for us to work on and get maximum result.

Sufficiency suggests or means that that which is available is enough. The word suffice is a verb that means to be enough for a purpose or person. This means that if I rephrase the prayer, it would read “let his hands be enough for him”. I don’t know about you but I know I feel fulfilled when a need arises in my life and family and I can conveniently handle it from the abundance of God’s provision without having to run helter-skelter. 
 I have experienced needs and I’ve seen several people when they are in need that is beyond their capacity. It is not a funny matter. It keeps you on edge. God desires that our potential should be able to suffice per time.

I pray that from this day that our hands will be sufficient for us in Jesus name. May the Lord increase our capacity. May the work of your hands bring tangible result. May your hands not suffer atrophy (atrophy is a medical condition of losing flesh, muscle, strength etc. in a part of the body because it does not have enough blood). 
It is said that givers never lack. I wonder how possible it is for someone to be a regular giver when you are regularly in lack. It is either your hand is not useful or you are yet to discover the full weight of what your hands can do.

May the Lord open our eyes from today to discover our full potentials so that we can truly be a blessing in Jesus name.

YOU WILL NOT BE A LIABILITY IN THIS LIFE RATHER YOU WILL BE AN ASSET IN JESUS NAME.
