Today’s lesson deals with Psalm 23:5 ”… my cup runneth over.” (Third part of the Scripture)
1. Last week, we learned that the Lord is our Shepherd because He has anointed us for service. This week, we will learn that our cup overflows with God’s blessing. God always does exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20-21). When Jesus fed the 5,000 and they were full, there were yet 12 full baskets of fragments left (Matthew 14:20). This is the overflow. We can boldly declare, “I’m drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing.” Our God is the God of abundance. In other words, you can live off the overflow of God! This overflow also reminds me of the anointed oil, which was poured upon Aaron’s head, dripped down his beard, and onto his clothes—the overflow blessing touched every part of his body (Psalm 133:1-2).
2. Brothers and Sisters, it is time for the body of Christ to operate in the overflow anointing of God. We should not just barely make it, but should receive the abundant overflow, which is more than enough for us and others. We should rejoice in the truth that our cup runs over with joy, peace and power. Remember, your cup is full to the brim, overflowing and running into your saucer. Again, this speaks of God’s abundance in your life. Today, speak personally of your cup being full and running over!
Next week, we will discuss Psalm 23:6: “Surely good and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:” (First part of the Scripture)
