Today’s passage reveals two bible verses – perhaps, the best-known and best-loved verses in the entire chapter. First, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”(v.13). Second, “And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (v.19). The former explains Paul’s contentment in the ministry-He had learnt to live in contentment throughout all stages in his ministry: In need and plenty, in sorrow and joy, etc. The latter is Paul’s blessing to the Philippians. Paul blessed them because they had met his need in the ministry through their acts of giving. Paul emphasised that this was the only church that supported his ministry both to the churches he pastured and his personal needs. This is a reminder to all ministers of God and Christians that everyone has their roles and duties to play if the gospel must continue to move forward in our generation. We must learn to be contented in all seasons; Lack is not an excuse to steal or embezzle church funds, lest we lose our dignity. We should also emulate the Philippians who seized every opportunity to care for the propagation of the gospel and betterment of God’s ministers. In other words, because they gave their material resources to God, to the point of endangering their own livelihood, God would supply their every need. The church today should seek such blessings!
