Is it Luck or Coincidence or Something Else?

Philippians 4:19:  "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus".

Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose".

Has it ever seemed to you that some people always get the breaks in life?  How often have you heard someone say "Boy, was I lucky today!"  OR "What a coincidence that this money came in the mail today just when I needed it"?  Sometimes it sure seems like some people are favored more than others.  It also seems that some people are just in the right place at the right time, and good things happened to them. 

Think about the words "luck" and "coincidence".  The word "luck" means "the things that happen to a person because of chance; the accidental way things happen without being planned".  "Coincidence" means "the occurrence of events that happen at the same time by accident but seem to have some connection".

I don't believe that God does anything by accident or chance.  I believe in God and His mighty power 
to supply all of our needs and work all things together for the good of those He has called to His 
purpose. 

The Benefit of Having the Holy Ghost

St. Matthew 3:11 “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance:  but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear:  he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire”.

The synonyms for “Benefit” are:  profit, advantage, gain, good.  Each of these words is suitable for all the Holy Ghost is to and for us!  There is nothing better for us to have than having the Holy Ghost because it is God’s Spirit.  Holy because it is pure, perfect, and it is God Himself with us!  He is not just with us; He is in us.

God's Benefit Package

Prophetic Scripture: Psalms 103:1-3

"Bless the LORD, O my soul:  and all that is within me, bless his holy name

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases".

A lot of people work a job only because they need the benefits.  There are also a lot of people who are retiring from their normal jobs only to discover that they have to go back to work just to afford or to qualify for healthcare insurance.  You don’t realize how much that benefit is worth until you don’t have it anymore or you are forced to pay for the full amount without the company kicking in a percentage.  Public jobs have decent benefits most of the time.  But people of God, I come to tell you today about a job that has the absolute greatest benefits of all time.  That’s working for THE LORD.  Working for the Kingdom carries benefits no company can measure.
