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.

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

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

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." Galatians 5:6 (KSB) With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values. When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall? Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Universe Means One Thing: Love

Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself." Galatians 5:14 (KSB) Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love? When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others. In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

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...
