GOD has unlimited resources at HIS disposal!
What limits us from receiving those resources here on earth? While in His earthly ministry, Jesus had no lack.
Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 17:
24 After they arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the temple tax approached Peter and asked, “Does your teacher pay the tax for the upkeep of the temple, like the rest of us?”
25 “Of course He does,” Peter answered. When Peter walked into the house, and before he had a chance to speak, Jesus spoke up and said, “Peter, I have a question for you. Who pays tolls or taxes to a king? Is tax collected from the king’s own children, or from his subjects?”
26 “From his subjects,” Peter answered. Jesus replied, “That’s right. The children get off free without paying taxes.
27 But so that we don’t offend them, go to the lake and throw out your hook, and the first fish that rises up will have a coin in its mouth. It will be the exact amount you need to pay the temple tax for both of us.”
Jesus had no issue in paying tax, not only for Himself, but for Peter as well.
In Matthew chapter 16, Jesus had a teaching moment with the disciples (and us):
5 Later, as Jesus and his disciples crossed over to the other side of Lake Galilee, the disciples realized they had forgotten to bring any loaves of bread.
6 Jesus spoke up and said, “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
7 Thinking Jesus was scolding them over not bringing bread, they began to discuss it among themselves.
8 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “You have such little faith! Why are you arguing with one another about having no bread?
9 Are you so slow to understand? Have you forgotten the miracle of feeding the five thousand families and how each of you ended up with a basket full of fragments?
10 And how seven loaves of bread fed four thousand families with baskets left over?
11 Don’t you understand? I’m not talking about bread, but I’m warning you to avoid the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
12 Then finally they realized he wasn’t talking about yeast found in bread, but the error of the teachings of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.
Multiplying the loaves and the fishes were to instruct the disciples of Jesus’ connection to a world that has absolutely no lack but also that it is a world of extreme abundance. They were restricting themselves to worldly thinking rather than Heavenly reality.
The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 13:
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His Hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself.
5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.
Jesus was aware of two things before He washed the disciples’ feet. He had access to unlimited resources; The FATHER had given all things into His Hands. As a Son, He had access to FATHER’S Kingdom. Secondly, He is giving us who are trustworthy, access to all things as well.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
The purpose of the unlimited resources is not for building personal kingdoms. A mature son makes the best servant because he knows FATHER’S Intent for the resources. It is to bring forth Heaven to earth. The purpose of a son serving is different than the serving of a servant. The servant simply follows orders without understanding.
The son serves with hope because he can see the future. The son is preparing something for the purposes of GOD in the earth, ultimately to bring forth HIS Kingdom. A mature son will be given access to the unlimited resources of Heaven because he has been found to be trustworthy at each level of access.
GOD has intentions, purposes, and plans that are yet unfolding and a mature son has that in his heart and in mind as he is serving mankind.
