WHAT IS SUFFICIENT IS ENOUGH

What is sufficient for our daily needs is enough, as it will please and glorify God. Anything beyond, over and above what is sufficient, is not enough for the flesh and will satisfy and glorify only Satan, while robbing God, mocking Jesus and grieving the Holy Spirit, all at the same time. Know this truth, do we still need a bigger barn, a bigger pantry, a bigger closet, a bigger car, a bigger bank account – or is our sufficiency enough to please and glorify God?

How the much better having been blessed, would it have been to open our hands, unconditionally, to expand the Kingdom of God by blessing, in like, fellow brethren with their needs so they also may bless others in the knowledge of sufficiency, instead of, with a closed hand, only satisfying and glorifying Satan and ourself? How many brothers and sisters in the Lord in our midst have suffered in need because we refused to open our hands in faith and in the same way that God opened His heart, unconditionally, to us as His Son hung in faith on the Cross, His open hands being sufficient for all who would come to the knowledge of and, believe that what is sufficient for our daily needs is enough; and, who would accept this blessing from God’s open heart, unconditionally, yet would refuse to open their hands to their brethren in the same way?

What do we have that does not belong to God? What do we possess that is so much more precious than the sufficiency of the Blood of Christ, who opened His holy hands, unconditionally, for us? And yet, we refuse to open our hands with the same faith that Christ exercised for us! Are our hands more holy than the hands that were opened, unconditionally, for us so that others should be blessed, even as we were blessed when we accepted what the open hands gave to us - unconditionally?

When we refuse to open our hands unconditionally to bless brethren who have needs, we are in essence only robbing God of a victory through that brethren because God made us a steward over a blessing that brethren would need when, by God’s design, our paths would cross and, by faith and the power of the Holy Spirit, our hand would open, unconditionally, releasing to that brethren the blessing which God intended them to have in order to do His work (i.e., food, clothes, shelter, car, finances, whatever).

And yet, how many times have we, lacking faith, prevented brethren from doing God’s work, thus robbing ourselves of a blessing and reward because our clenched fist contained the blessing intended for our brethren; and, also robbed the one this brethren was supposed to bless with the blessing God put in our keeping, a blessing that does not belong to us, but rather, to a lost soul our brethren cannot reach because we refuse, before God, to open our hand - unconditionally?

Whosoever prevents a brethren cannot also prevent God, as His work will be completed, despite the clenched fist, and the blessings and rewards will be taken away from the clenched fist and given to the open hands of the brethren who know how precious is the Blood that flows freely from the open hands that were pierced into the hands of those who will share it, unconditionally, even as it was given, by opening their hands and releasing this same precious Blood into the lives of those in need, in the same way as the One who opened His hands did for us, that way would be unconditionally.

Whose hand is open unconditionally knows the Lord; whose fist is clenched knows not the Lord, and knows not that it is they, with the clenched fist that is being tested and not the brethren in need, a suffering servant who God put in their midst, giving the clenched fist a chance to open and release the same unconditional love that the open hands that were nailed to the Cross released for them.

Woe to them who would not open their hands, unconditionally, and cause their brethren to cry out against them, in agony, to God, unable to do His work because the required blessings are being held captive in the clenched fist of one who does not really know the unconditional love that was required to open One’s hands and receive the nails, pouring out His love, unconditionally, and blessings of sufficiency into hands that only form a clenched fist, selfishly against God, stealing what belongs to a brethren.

All brethren should be about God’s work, bestowing upon one another, unconditionally, with open hands all blessings required which God has put in their keeping for their fellow brethren’s needs. The clenched fist that denies selfishly is guilty of the Blood; the open hand that gives unconditionally what is needed, is covered by the Blood.

Is the blood on our hands that of our brethren, who cry out against us because our fist is clenched? Or, is the Blood in our hands that of Jesus Christ, who requires us to share It unconditionally, with open hands with brethren in need?

Such is the unconditional love of the open hands that were nailed to the Cross, teaching us that what is sufficient is enough; and only the acceptance of this Truth and the practice of open hands will please and glorify God, expanding His Kingdom in honor of the hands that gave to us, unconditionally, knowing what was being offered, unconditionally, would not only be sufficient, but also, would be more than enough for our daily needs. Amen and amen.

As I am and always will be, in love with and in service to my Lord Jesus,

“Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well” but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?” (James 2:15, 16) NLT
