BIBLE READING: GENESIS 22:1-18; PSALMS 104:10-29, 145:15-16; MATTHEW 6:8-34; LUKE 12:22-34
And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” Gen 22:14 (NKJV)
The Revelation of Jehovah Jireh is one very Important revelation that every Genuine Christian Believer needs to have in order to utilize and enjoy the benefits of the New Covenant. The Holy Scriptures make us understand that God “Has given to us all things that pertain to Life and Godliness” (2 Pet. 1:3).
However, it is unfortunate to note that when it comes to material provision, many Christian Believers are less passionate in their Faith because the devil has somehow succeeded in convincing them that it is unrighteous to have and enjoy material possessions i.e., to feed well, clothe well, own beautiful things that make life easy and enjoyable. The Lord God Almighty is our Source and Sustainer. In the Seventh Chapter of the Gospel according to Mathew, the Lord Jesus pointed out Deep Truths about how important providing for us is to our Heavenly Father.
He pointed out how much care the Father takes in clothing the lillies of the field which are of little consequence when compared to us that He made in His Own Image and Likeness. Christ also showed us how the Father takes care to feed all the animals He created without fail.
As children of God, our Provision and Sustenance is not dependent on our jobs, businesses or human sponsors. These are only channels through which God can choose to provide for us for a time as His Will permits, and He is not limited to these predictable channels because we see many instances in the Holy Scriptures where He provided for His people Supernaturally through the most unusual and unpredictable channels.
For instance, He provided food for Elijah through a ravenous bird for a period of time (1 Kgs. 17:2-6) after which another much later time He did the same through an Angel (1 Kgs. 19:5-8). He rained food down from Heaven for His people in the wilderness for 40 years without failing for one day (Ex. 16:35). He also provided them more meat than they all could consume in the wilderness (Num. 11:18-20). He also gave them water from the Rock when the entire nation of Israel was thirsty (Ex. 17:6). .
God also sustained clothes on their bodies and sandals on their feet for the entire 40 years (Deut. 8:4, 29:5) thereby proving the Sacred Words of Christ that He cares about our all round wellbeing. God not only provides for our consumption but He also provides for us to serve Him. We see this with Abraham and numerous other instances in the Bible whereby He provides for us to be a blessing to others (2 Cor. 9:8).
There are certain requirements we need to meet in order to enjoy Supernatural Provision:
1. UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS ONE OF THE BENEFITS OF THE NEW COVENANT: Without this awareness, the devil would keep us from that which Christ has already made available to us in the New Covenant.
2. OBEDIENCE: This is a very important Key to Divine Provision. Abraham, Elijah, Moses and all our Scriptural examples experienced Divine Provision because of their Prompt Obedience to God’s Instructions.
3. TOTAL TRUST AND DEPENDENCE ON GOD AS OUR SOURCE: As long as we put our trust in humans and human systems for our provision, we will be limited in how much we can experience God’s Abundant Supernatural Provision. Divine Provision is not optional for the Christian Believer; it has been signed, sealed and settled by Christ’s Death on the Cross. To enjoy Abundance on Earth and advance the Kingdom of God, we must learn how to plug into the Infinite Source of Abundant Provision which is JEHOVAH JIREH, the Lord our Provision.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, we honour and glorify You today for Your Provision. O Lord, please grant us a Comprehensive Revelation of Jehovah Jireh in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen.
