THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED
TURNED
TO IN MY BIBLE WITH ANOINTED HANDS:
Ezra
7:20 NKJV
And
whatever more may be needed for the house of your God,
which you may have occasion to provide, pay for it from
the king's treasury.
I HEARD:
Equip.
CONFIRMATION: A few minutes later I was hearing a sermon
on the radio that reminded me of a sermon I heard a long
time ago about His grace being sufficient:
2 Cor
12:9 KJV
And he
said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my
strength is made perfect in weakness.
In that
sermon, there was a comparison between camping in a
trailer that is fully equipped or camping with a
backpack. The trailer is stuffed full and in need of
nothing. It is completely contained. That is how the
word "perfect" was described. When we are weak, His
strength fully equips us and we need nothing else.
PERFECT
[In the Greek]:
NT:5048
teleioo
(tel-i-o'-o); from NT:5046; to complete, i.e.
(literally) accomplish, or (figuratively) consummate (in
character):
KJV -
consecrate, finish, fulfil, make) perfect.
Eph
4:11-14 NKJV
And He
Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the
equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to
the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son
of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature
of the fullness of Christ;

WORD TO
PONDER: YOU ARE EQUIPPED
I will
use you to help equip My people for the work of the
ministry. I have thoroughly equipped you and My
provision shall accompany you everywhere you go. I will
provide everything you need. As you trust Me to be your
strength, you will find that My grace is sufficient and
you will be fully equipped in need of nothing.
"But my
God shall supply all your need according to his riches
in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19 KJV)
