Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling on Christians to participate in a day of fasting and prayer for our nation today. Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan's Purse , an international Christian relief organization, believes the church needs to call upon the name of God and ask for Him to move in this country. He stressed that our nation is facing multiple crises - from a pandemic to a turbulent presidential election, and widespread racial unrest. "I am urging followers of Jesus Christ to fast and to pray for our nation on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25. Mark it on your calendars and prepare now. I hope individuals, families, and churches will join me in asking for the Lord's help and for His will to be done in this critical election. Will you?" Graham wrote on Facebook. ...

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19
).
).
Like the Lord Jesus, the Apostle Paul had no consciousness of lack.
He understood the message of the Gospel that as new creations in Christ,
we’re heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. We’re not in lack or
want. Why then did Paul pray, saying, “But my God shall supply all your
need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus?” He was
addressing the spiritually immature.
Paul didn’t include himself in the prayer. He didn’t say, “My God
shall supply all our needs.” When you’ve come of age, you’ll realize
that in Christ, we don’t have any unmet needs. Matthew 6:33
says, “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and
all these things shall be added unto you.” When you seek the Kingdom of
God first, every good thing you could ever wish for is added—“annexed”
with it—without having to ask. You won’t need to pursue the things that
the Gentiles seek: fame, money, recognition, acceptance, etc.; they’re
packaged in the Kingdom that you’ve inherited.

Remember the words of Jesus; He said in Luke 12:32, “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” and He’s done it. He said in Luke 17:21, “…the Kingdom of God is within you.” If you have the Kingdom, then you have everything. No wonder Peter exclaimed in 2 Peter 1:3,
“According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath
called us to glory and virtue.” Blessed be God! Paul’s climactic
submission on the subject is equally so surreal; he said in 1 Corinthians 3:21, “…all things are yours!”

In your life, never look at what you may consider a need; rather, see
what God already lavishly made available to you in Christ. You possess
all things, being a joint-heir with Christ. Christ owns the whole world,
and you’re one with Him; called into partnership with Him (1 Corinthians 1:9).
Since this is true, what in the world could you ever be in need of?
Nothing! Affirm God’s Word in your life. He has said all things are
yours; declare the same, and live accordingly. Praise God!
