Supernatural Provision

 Scripture:

1 Kings 17: 2-6

And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, Get the hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. So he went and did according unto the Word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.

The Good LORD wants to provide all our needs and, even our wants; He is interested in granting us the desires of our hearts. 

First of all, God wants us to trust Him for our daily provision. He doesn't want to be relegated to the background as regards supplies and provision. He is delighted when we trust Him to provide all that we need at every given point in time. But sometimes, we tend to look to ourselves and try to work things out by our limited abilities for our sustenance. 

Scripture says in Hebrews 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. And so, we must trust and believe in God to provide all our needs.

Not your bank account, or your monthly or weekly pay check. But God and His ability to care for you and your family. Even when it seems as if there's no way out, He will surely show up for you. Psalm 23, says The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. 

What does a shepherd do in the natural sense? He guides the sheep to green pastures where they can graze and be fed daily. He also guides the sheep to where they can drink water and lie down in peace and rest. In the same vein, God takes care of His own sheep ( you and I who believe in Him), and leads and guides us to where we can find provision daily, weekly or monthly, in our workplace and marketplace as business or career people. He leads you to the right clients or customers and vice versa.

This can be seen from our opening scripture in the case if Elijah. After he had pronounced judgement on the land of Israel because of their idolatrous activities, and had declared no rain and God hearkened to his voice and shut up the heavens, The LORD directed him to the brook Cherith where he could drink water and also commanded the ravens to feed him there. What an irony! That the most selfish bird on earth is what God used to sustain Elijah during the famine!

Beloved, there's nothing too hard for God Almighty to do. He can meet you at the point of your need at any time,  and He can use any means necessary to do it. All you have to do is keep your eyes on Him and not the world economy or the economic state of your country.

Prayer 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I come before you today with my heart laden with the burden of financial supplies and provisions. I know that You are able to supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Lord, please forgive me for the times I have doubted Your ability to provide for me, and have tried to rescue myself from every financial strain I have been experiencing.

 I come to You with a renewed sense of hope and trust, that You are able to bring me out of every financial lack and scarcity,  even in this season, trusting You alone for my daily provision from now on, and doubting nothing in Jesus Name, I pray, Amen.
