Much More

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think” Eph.3:20 [emphasis added].

David says in Psalm 23, “Thou anoints my head with oil, my cup runs over”. David had a cup [capacity], God was pouring oil on David’s head, the cup was full but God did not stop. Why? God did not stop because He was showing David that David’s capacity does not determine His anointing. Your capacity does not determine God’s anointing. God’s anointing is much more than our capacity. In that singular act, God was saying to David that there is so much more where this is coming from.

Everybody has a cup. However, the problem is not the Source, the problem is the cup.  Picture a huge ocean where everybody goes to fetch water but with different tools. Some people go to the ocean with a teaspoon, some with a teacup, some with a jug, some bring a bucket, some bring a tank, and some bring a tanker. What have you brought to the ocean?

Let me tell you the secret of how I approach it. I say to God, I am not coming with a teaspoon, a jug, a bucket, or a tanker. I am coming to the ocean with a pipe. I am going to plug into the supply and open it over my life and my sphere of influence. That is how I approach the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So when people are saying fill my cup Lord, I am saying plug my pipe Lord. Why should I go with a cup when the Source is inexhaustible? There is no reason to go with a cup; go with a pipe.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think” Eph.3:20 [emphasis added]. How much more? Infinitely more than we might ask or think… The issue of finances is something we all have to deal with as long as we are on earth. Now, I want you to stop and think of a figure that you want God to give to you. God will do much more than you have thought. Believe it! Regardless of how ‘big’ the figure is, God can and will do much more. He is not just going to surpass the figure by a margin. He will do much more. However, we all need to realize that there is a difference between abundance and waste.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, help me to shift my focus from my capacity to Your inexhaustible flow. Lord I plug into Your flow, overflow me Lord, in Jesus Name.
