THERE IS MORE

I had a wonderful relaxing afternoon touring around Chinatown, Sydney. I love the BBQ buns in the Chinese restaurant. It has been over five years since I last visited China Town. The place is always crowded with people shopping and eating. There are so many yummy foods to choose from Chinatown. I took some photos of Chinatown, Chinese Garden, Market City and Paddy's Market.


THERE IS MORE

We have a God that desires to give us more! There is no lack in God! He gives us more than we need because of His love, grace and mercy. God invites us to come to Him for fellowship and communion. He can satisfy our needs.

On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. John 7:37b Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, Eph 3:20

More of His love and provision

We cannot measure the love of God toward us because it is unlimited. God’s love toward us has no boundaries. He loves us freely and unconditionally.

together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Eph 3:18b-19

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! 1 John 3:1a

God will supply all of our needs through Christ. We need to look to God for our daily provision.

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19


More of His revelation and guidance

The revelation and guidance did not stop when Jesus ascended to heaven. He sent the Holy Spirit to be our Counsellor and teacher. God continues to bring fresh revelation and direction to His people through His Words and the Holy Spirit.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26

God led the Israelites through the desert for forty years with a pillar of cloud in the morning and a pillar of fire at night.

By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people. Exodus 13:21-22


More of His power and miracles

God is still at work! Some people believe that God rested for eternity after He created the universe and mankind. God just sat back and allowed thing to run in its natural course. In reality, God has not forsaken mankind. Rather, God has poured out the Holy Spirit into His people so they can manifest His love, power and miracles.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8

The miracles that were performed by Jesus were repeated by the disciples, who were told they would be able to do greater miracles.

I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12

The promise of a miraculous lifestyle was for the apostles in Jesus’ day, the early church in the book of Acts and is for the 21st century church.
