ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
That's my opinion of the promise Jesus stated in the text up above. He came so we could thrive in every area of life. He confirmed through his ministry that he was the source of our thriving. Every where Jesus went people or circumstances thrived.
If people were hungry, provision flowed in abundance. If they were spiritually thirsty they could drink from a well that would never run dry. If they were sick, their bodies were healed completely. Truly Jesus was and is the giver of abundant life.
THE REASON
Jesus carried with him the culture of Heaven. Everything in God's Kingdom or the Kingdom of Heaven is thriving and full of life. Nothing happens there contrary to the will of God, and Jesus carried with him the very life and power of the Father's Kingdom.
This is the same Jesus that the bible declares is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He came that we might thrive in every area of life. The path to that thriving is repentance. Repentance is a call to align ourselves with the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Repent, for the Kingdom is at hand or made available." We can walk in the abundance of life Jesus promised through aligning ourselves with the culture of God's Kingdom. Then we will begin to thrive in every area of life.
Which is the reason Jesus told us to "Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto us." Again, when were in alignment with the Kingdom we thrive in life and our Father is glorified.
Truly the Lord wants his blessings to be upon us!
