God Will Supply All Your Need by Christ Jesus

Philippians 4:14-19, NKJV

In Philippians 4:19 Apostle Paul declares, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” God never told us how He would meet our needs; He told us He would. Because we are His children, we are to trust that as our provider, He will do what He promised. Paul previously said that whatever his circumstances were, he had learned to be content.

In verses 14-18 Paul expressed how grateful he was for the sacrifice the Philippian church had made for him. They were the only church at the beginning of the gospel when he left Macedonia that communicated with him about giving and receiving (v.15). During his time of need, they gave him generous gifts of support time and again (v.16).  It is important that believers share their material blessings for the support of ministry. In verse 17 he said that he did not seek the gift but the fruit that abounds to your account. The Amplified version says that he sought the blessing which is accumulating for you in your heavenly account. How blessed we are to reap spiritual benefits because of our giving! God loves a cheerful giver.

Paul told the Philippians in v.18 that the gifts they sent him by Epaphroditus were sufficient. They were a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. Just as God graciously met Paul’s needs, we can be assured that He will meet ours too. Give my God praise and a hand clap for He promised to liberally supply every need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
