All Sufficient God Meets Needs

“All Sufficient God” was written
by Nathaniel Bassey, a Nigerian
gospel artist & worship leader;
and it was first released in 2018.
The title & lyrics of “All-Sufficient
God” drew inspiration from Moses’
Burning Bush encounter in Exodus 3.
The song reminds believers that
God is always present to guide and
protect them. And it emphasizes
that God is able to meet our needs,
provide comfort in times of trouble
and bring hope in midst of despair.

Lord, You’re the All Sufficient One:
Moses was amazed because the
bush was engulfed in flames but it
didn’t burn up… When the Lord saw..
He had caught Moses’ attention,
God called to him from the bush…
I have seen the misery of my people
in Egypt. I have heard their cries for
deliverance…Now go for I’m Sending
you to Pharaoh. You Will Lead My
people… out of Egypt (Exo 3:2-10).
Then Moses said: when I come to
the children of Israel & say to them:
The God of your fathers has sent
me to you, and they say to me:
What is His name? what shall I say
to them? And God said to Moses:
I AM WHO I AM (Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh
Eternal All-Sufficient God). Thus you
shall say to the children of Israel:
I AM has sent me to you (v13-14).

All Sufficient Lord, You are beyond
our capacity of full understanding.
But we trust Yr Spirit will grant the
things You want us to experience.
Empower us to cooperate with You
even as You manifest Your kingdom.
Grateful for Your lovingkindness
& praise You for being our All in All
and for supplying all that we need.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Lord, You’re the all-sufficient one,
holding the world in Your hands.
Your sufficiency is comforting for
I am after all one of Your children.
Lord, I can see my insufficiency
in the light of Your all-sufficiency.
Pardon me the impatience I feel
when something goes wrong.
Forgive any doubts that You are
mighty and good; for You can and
ready to meet my needs. Amen.

Lord, we long to hear more clearly;
but then the clearer the revelation,
the greater will be the expectation.
And the more clearly You speak, the
greater the demand for obedience.
The costs of hearing You can be
high but we still want to encounter
You for You are a good good God.
Grant us Lord willingness to face the
responsibility of knowing Your will.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Almighty God Can Do Anything

Backgrounder on Genesis 15-18:
God’s promises to Abraham are
given in great detail, confirmed
with a unilateral treaty, repeated
and established by the sign of
circumcision. But as the years
pass with no evidence of fulfilment,
Abraham acts in foolish impatience.
The result is a son Ishmael, who
will forever cause the heartbreak
of his father, constantly reminding
Abraham of the price of unbelief.
And we have the visit of the three
men of God (enroute Sodom) with
a message for Abraham and Sarah.

Lord, we will Trust Your Promises:
When Abram was 99 years old,
the LORD appeared to him & said
I am God Almighty (El Shaddai);
walk before me faithfully and
be blameless. Then I will… greatly
increase your numbers… This is my
covenant with you. You will be the
father of many nations (Gen 17:1-4).
Then one of the three men said:
About this time next year I will return
and your wife Sarah will have a son…
And since Abraham and Sarah were
both very old, and Sarah was long
past the age of having children,
she laughed silently to herself…
Then the Lord said: Why did Sarah
laugh? Why did she say: Can an
old woman like me have a baby?
Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?
About a year from now, just as
I told you, I will return and Sarah
will have a son (Genesis 18:10-14).
The Lord kept His Word and did for
Sarah exactly what He had promised
She became pregnant and she gave
birth to a son… This happened at
just The Time God said (Gen 21:1-2)

Lord El Shaddai, You are great
and You are mighty in power.
Your wisdom knows no limits;
and Your might knows no bounds.
As the heavens are higher than the
earth,so Yr ways higher than ours.
Help us to not cause delays in
our destiny but rather to walk
upright in faith. Help us to stay
committed to You, and we look
forward to Your blessing. Amen.

Lord, Thanks for the promise that
there’s nothing too difficult for You.
We praise You that You are the
God of miracles and all Powerful.
And we call upon Your awesome
might when we are in trouble;
for it honours Your name when
we ask for God-sized things.
We submit to Your sovereignty;
grant us Your sustaining strength
to endure the challenge and
bless us with Your miracle. Amen.

Lord, sometimes the change we
want to see seem impossible, even
laughable. Grant us the faith to keep
believing that what is impossible in
human terms is not too hard for You.
For our hopes are grounded in the
reality that U still do the impossible.
You create life out of death, which
is not dependent upon human effort.
For Nothing is too hard for You; &
You do things in Your Time. Amen.
