Today we are introducing God who gives abundantly.

In verse 1:3, he begins to write the book of Philippians, saying, “I give thanks to my God.”

And now, in verse 19, which closes the book of Philippians, “my God” is emphasized with strength,

In a word, this book of Philippians begins with "my God" and ends with "my God".
see it coming to an end
The Apostle Paul started his life with “God” and wherever he went, “my God”
After boldly witnessing, he now gracefully decorated his end with “My God”.

Today, you too, like the Apostle Paul, begin with “God” and “with God.
May you live together and end with "my God" at the end.

Then, for some reason, Paul referred to God as “my God” and “my God”.
Did you buy it?
The moment he first met the Lord in Damascus, Paul's life began to change.
will be.
After that, he began to live the best life he could do for God.
As a result, people who had followed him in the past were leaving him.
In addition, my acquaintances and friends experienced the distance from me.
Later, he was turning into enemies who persecuted him and threatened his life.
But the strange thing is that his life, which started with "God," was changed by God wherever he went.
They worked together and took care of everything they did.
For example, even when he is in prison
Even when I met the yura gula storm
Even when bitten by a snake
And when you preach the gospel in a foreign land,
You have always been with me with abundant grace.
verse 19
"My God"
"In Christ Jesus"
"In Glory"
"A time of abundance"
David, the king of Israel, said in Psalm 1 that Jehovah is my shepherd.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
I am not lacking because I am a king, but because the LORD is my shepherd.
I confess that I am not lacking.
Psalm 23:6 says, “Goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.
I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."
2, the abundance of my God
"""""""""""""""""""""""
King David's God was a God of abundance.
Also, the God of the apostle Paul is a God who gives abundantly.
Genesis 49;
In the Old Testament, it is a scene where Jacob calls his beloved children and blesses them on his deathbed.
49:25-26
“It is from the God of your father, who will help you, the Almighty.
He will bless you; blessings from heaven above, blessings from the fountain below, and blessings to nurse,
Tae's blessing."
"Your father's blessing is better than my father's blessing,
Blessings shall return to Joseph's head, and to the crown of his brethren."
My father-in-law is Isaac, Jacob's father, and Abraham, his grandfather.
But here about seven is the God of Abraham or the God of Isaac, or one of himself.
Although you are all the same God, the emphasis is on your own God rather than your father's God.
He is saying that his God gives greater blessings than his grandfather's God.
These words refer to the experiences of grandfathers and fathers when Jacob introduced God to his children.
Instead of introducing God, he strengthened the God he had experienced himself.
it is being introduced
This is when the children form a relationship with God in their lives, and it is the grandfather who was far away.
Don't be a caller to God or your father's God, but to be yourself in life.
It is hoped that people of realistic faith who can speak of the God they have experienced will help.
There are quite a few such people today.
Even though they say they believe in God, they know well about the God that others have experienced and
Even though they talk a lot, they have nothing to say about the God they are experiencing.
It seems that there are too many people.
The Apostle Paul is now speaking of God to the Philippian believers and blessing others.
He did not speak of God, but God who Himself gave abundantly to Himself, that is, “my
It emphasizes “God”.
What kind of God are you living with now?
Haven't you been living with the God that others have heard of?
Can you say "my God" who is with me and not far away?
Can you say God as “my God” as powerfully as the Apostle Paul did?
There are people who feel that God is far away even though they have been living in faith for a long time.
If there is, it clearly means that you did not live an active life for God, that is, the best life.
it will be evidence
Dear saints,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try to live an active and devoted life for the Lord.
Give your all for God.
For the sake of the gospel and for the sake of Christ, throw it all away as dung.
Where you dedicated yourselves to God
In the place you gave everything for Christ
The place you left for the sake of the gospel
God, who gives abundantly, will fill the place and you will be able to see crabs.
As the apostle Paul did, I hope you will create a space that God can provide abundantly.
I hope that God will make a place for you to condemn.
In verse 20, introducing this “my God” to the Philippians,
“Glory be to our God and our Father for ever and ever.”
Calling my God our Father means that the Philippians also say “my God” like Paul.
It means to become a saint who can speak with power.
Dear saints,
God gave abundantly to Abraham
God gave Jacob abundantly
God who gave David abundantly
God who gave abundantly to the apostle Paul
I hope that all of you can boast powerfully as "my God".
May you be able to experience every day as "my God" and be true in the name of the Lord
bless you
