Psalm 69:9 “For the zeal of thy house consumes me and the insults of those who insult you fall on me ”
Colossians 2:7 “Let your lives overflow”
with thanksgiving for all he has done. The bible recognizes that you need more than just a flow but an Over-flow. It is when you have an over-flow that is when your heart can send forth thanks-giving to God and bring down more blessings and deliverances.
We ought not to remain satisfied with less because we are suppose to Thrive and not Survive.
Eldad and Medad- ( Numbers 11: 29) They were asked to converge before the tabernacle but they were both absent and the spirit that was upon Moses came upon the 70 elders and yet the two men that were absent caught the over-flow and then they spoke in tongues. so the overflow is vital, they received it and their life changed entirely. So you need it.
When you have an Over-flow people will envy you …
Numbers 11:29 29 But Moses replied, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put his Spirit on them!”
What is an over-flow?
It is defined; as the excess or surplus not able to be accommodated by an available space.
From the above definition I can extract the following “not able to be accommodated” which takes us to;
Jeremiah 20:9
“Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary from holding it back, and I could not.”
From the above verse I made to understand that if you have an over-flow you will be tired of holding it in and you will find out that it is more peaceful and fulfilling to utilize that power than hold it in… you will no longer have room for fear, timidity you will see yourself witnessing about Christ at any opportunity you have and to every body. Beloveth it is not negotiable we need an over-flow, we need more than enough to manifest as children of the most-high.
You want to Love your enemies you need an over-flow because you need more than the average kind of love to love your enemies.
We were not given just any kind of Love by the father but a supreme kind of love (Agape Love) which is an over-flow, which was manifested in the perseverance of Jesus as he endured the cross, no one would watch his or her son humiliated, beaten just for the sake of saving those who crucified him, that is an Overflow
The bible says in
Hebrew 12:2 ” looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” permit me to para-phrase ;
For the Love he had for us (You and I) he endured the cross… Jesus Christ is a representation of Love to the word not just the son of God. He is a perfect symbol of Love.
When you have an overflow you receive that kind of testimony you cannot hide even when you want to, it is that testimony that announces you for decoration.
Your cup will run over in Jesus name.
When do you need an Over-flow?
If you find you are struggling to forgive, give, pray, joyful and so many more you need an over-flow.
People that have an over-flow of the fruit of the spirit they have gone above and beyond in their desperation to meet with God and possess that power that will enable them manifest like him, power to Love, heal the sick, show forth wisdom the mind cannot comprehend, to discern, patience, humility and so much more.
If you are to look at challenges in the face and your resolve is to be stable, unshakable you need an over-flow you can have an overflow in faith, Anointing (Holy-spirit), grace of which that is not for us to give but it is freely given unto us all but we must understand that grace on everyone’s life is in degrees but it is always sufficient a practical example of one who had an over-flow of grace was David, he fell short so many times but that grace spoke. I.e. when you have an over-flow you don’t need to struggle because it will speak with or without your consent and when it speaks there is always a lifting.
I pray today that Grace, mercy, favor will speak for you today. In Jesus name.
Proverb 24:10 “If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small” If you see yourself fainting during adversity, you need an Overflow, the strength you have is not sufficient enough, “The lord is our strength” if the lord be your strength as you decree and you still faint then you need more of him…

– If you are tired of your situation.
– If you want to live above the average.
-If you want to exceed your predecessors.
