Needs According to God!

“And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:19

GOD’S WILL IS PARAMOUNT IN EVERY AREA OF ANY SITUATION ON EARTH AND IN PEOPLE’S LIVES! GOD DOES NOT WORK IN AND THOUGH OUR LIVES OUT OF A NEED WE THINK WE HAVE! He works in and through our lives out of our obedience to HIM!

If God does not work on need and He works out of faith through obedience, how would you explain to someone the above scripture, which is taught repeatedly in the church? There are Christians who quote this scripture DAILY regarding many different situations during a day. So how are we to explain it? What is God’s perspective on this?

What man thinks is a need is not necessarily a need in God’s eyes! This is how you would know if something were a need: If it is preventing you from doing what the Lord has called you to do, and you are walking in obedience - then it is a need!

Our idea or definition of a need is more often a desire or a want, rather than a need. If it is not preventing you from carrying out something in your calling and what the Lord has anointed, you to do on this earth - it is NOT a need!

Example: IF God has told you to go from point A to point B to speak for Him - and if your car has broken down and you don’t have transportation, there is a need. But! Transportation is the need! Not a new car! God can provide the transportation and the need is met.

However, there are many people who have used issues like this to buy a new car, instead of fixing the car they have. Even if the car is old, or breaks down frequently, a new vehicle is not the need unless God says so! The transportation is the need!
