What to Do When You See a Lack?

What to Do When You See a Lack?

by | Nov 15, 2025 | Christian Walk

When Jesus went to see Lazarus, it looked like a dead situation. Lazarus had been in the tomb for 4 days, the place was already stinking, and everyone around had given up hope. But do you know what Jesus did? He walked right into that dead situation, lifted His eyes to heaven, and said, “Wow, heaven is full of life.” 

When you see an impossibility or a lack, where do you look? If your job or your family is where you look to for your supply, you will always see lack. Instead, if you can look at your impossibility or lack and just look to heaven, you will see differently.

Because Jesus did the same! When the disciples came to Jesus worried about feeding the crowd of five thousand men, plus women and children, they were overwhelmed. The demand was huge and the supply was small. They saw the lack, but Jesus lifted His eyes and saw the supply of heaven. He thanked the Father, and heaven’s supply crushed the demand in front of Him.

Think about Elijah. The Bible says there was a severe drought in Israel. It had not rained, the land was dry and everything looked hopeless. But Elijah was not looking down, and counting the lack around him. He was looking at the sky. And God sent a crow to bring food to Elijah because His eyes were on heaven, and from there came the supply. That’s your God. 

Where is your focus? People, situation or God?

God can use you when your eyes are fixed on Him; He can use anything and anybody to bless you. But if your eyes are on people or on your situation, it won’t work. 

How do you know that your focus is truly on heaven and not on your situation? The test is your level of praise and thanksgiving. If thankfulness is coming from your mouth, then you know your focus is in heaven. Because that’s what Jesus did too. He thanked God when He looked at the abundance of heaven.

But if your gaze is on your situation, then it will be hard for you to praise with your mouth. So that’s the test—how’s your level of praise? This season, fix your gaze on heaven, no matter what your situation is.

And God saw it!

By Derrick D’souza

    By Pastor Derrick D’souza

Have you ever taken a step back and thought about all the pain, shame and the brokenness that you went through when you were away from the light of God and were believing the lies of the devil?

I want to tell you that God saw all that the enemy was doing to you, even as He was waiting for you to run to Him. All that the devil used – his lies, deceit, wickedness, his thoughts of death and condemnation to crush you, GOD SAW IT!

And here’s the Good news – Because God saw it, this is what HE is going to do, now that you have believed HIS WORD and entrusted your life completely to HIM.

Habakkuk 3:14 – “With his own spear You pierced his head” …

Everything we go through, GOD sees..

Isn’t it a wonder that every time the devil used a scheme to bring destruction to God’s people, God used the very same thing to crush and pierce his own head! There are many examples in the Bible, here are a few :

When Goliath came with a sword to kill David – David cut Goliath’s head with his own sword.

When Haman prepared a gallow to hang Mordecai – God used the same gallow to hang Haman on it.

The devil knocked out God’s first man (ADAM whom God created) and made him sin and thought he had won the battle. But God smiled and said now I will send another MAN (Jesus – God in flesh) and HE will crush your head and not only that, every other man born-again from this MAN will do the same to you forever and ever and ever and ever and ever AMEN.

What am I saying?

LISTEN, whatever the devil is using or has used against you, to attack you, to bring guilt, shame and sickness, God is going to take that very same thing and pierce his head with it!

What the devil is doing to you today, will be his death stroke tomorrow, IF, you don’t give up on the Lord and stand strong on HIS WORD.

Your life will be a testimony to history that –

What came to cause evil has become a source of freedom to many!

What life was lived in shame will bring inspiration to many!

What life was plagued with scars will bring healing to many!

This is what the Spirit of God is crying out through my heart as I write this post to you. “My dear brother & sister, if you are going through a valley right now, don’t give up, take courage that God has seen all the tears and the mistakes and HE is ready to take the same spear used to inflict you and crush the enemy with it.

Will you believe God today, give HIM your life, your broken relationships, your past and present mistakes and surrender your life to HIM? HE will take it and turn it around and cause all the evil to work out for your good (Romans 8:28).

God is not looking at your “Sin” – HE paid for it with HIS “Blood”, HE is looking to Save YOU and HE is mighty at saving, just read the Bible and you will find out! No one has ever perished on HIS watch!

If you have never committed your life to Jesus completely, then this is your opportunity, don’t delay.
