Don’t Get It Twisted: God Is the Source, Not the Resource

 

Don’t Get It Twisted

"Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we could ask or think, according to the power that works within us." – Ephesians 3:20

   Don’t get it twisted. The Kingdom principle of divine provision reminds us that God is the Source of all supply, while people, places, and things are merely resources or conduits through which that supply flows. By keeping your focus on the Source within you God’s power at work you maintain prosperity, increase, and overflow, even when doors close or channels shift.

Firstly: Don’t Get It Twisted Between the Source and the Resource

   God is the Source; everything else is a resource. Resources may change, but the Source never does. When one resource dries up, another can open, but the divine Source within remains constant and unfailing. Never confuse the temporary channel with the eternal Source.

   When a job ends, an opportunity closes, or a person departs, remember the same God who provided through that avenue will provide through another. The power to prosper does not lie in the resource, but in the Source that sustains it.

Secondly: Don’t Get It Twisted Between the Electricity and the Conduit

   God’s power is like electricity; it flows through various conduits to reach you. The conduit may be a job, a ministry, a relationship, or an opportunity but the true power is divine and internal. The conduit can change, but the current remains the same.

   If you mistake the conduit for the electricity, you limit the power of God in your life. The power is already working within you. Stay connected to the divine source, and new conduits will always emerge to carry that power into your circumstances.

Thirdly: Don’t Get the Water Twisted with the Channel

   Water represents God’s living supply His Spirit, wisdom, and provision. The channel through which it flows may shift, but the water remains pure, constant, and abundant. When you mistake the channel for the water, you risk spiritual drought. Keep your focus on the Source of the flow, not the vessel it comes through.

"But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." – John 4:14

Conclusion

   Remember God is the Source, the Electricity, and the Water within you. Resources, conduits, and channels are vehicles through which divine provision flows, but they are not the ultimate source. When life’s channels shift or resources seem limited, turn inward to the Spirit of God working in you. Stay connected to the divine flow, and prosperity, increase, and overflow will never cease.

đź“– Reflection: Have you been depending more on the resource than the Source? How can you redirect your trust to God within you?

đź’ˇ Action Step: Affirm daily: “God is my Source. Resources may change, but the Source never fails.”

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
