Title: Divine Supplies
Memorize: And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 2 Kings 6:26-30, 7:1-2 (Nkjv)
[26] Then, as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”
[27] And he said, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or from the winepress?”
[28] Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
[29] So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”
[30] Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes; and as he passed by on the wall, the people looked, and there underneath he had sackcloth on his body.
2 Kings 7:1-2
[1] Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.’ ”
[2] So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” And he said, “In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.”
Message:
Considering the economic situation in the world today, everyone can see that divine intervention is urgently needed.
There is famine in many African countries, and even some developed countries are grappling with unstable economies.
The situation in Samaria, as seen in today’s Bible reading, was so bad that Elisha’s prophecy of abundant provision within 24 hours seemed too good to be true to those who did not know the power of Jehovah-Jireh.
The world today is experiencing an economic downturn, and people are suffering daily, but amid this hardship, God is still blessing His children so that they will not beg for bread or favours.
One of the prerequisites for receiving this blessing is believing God’s word and prophecies.
In one of our programmes many years ago, I prophesied that someone would become a landlord before the end of that year, and only one poor messenger shouted, “Amen!”
By Christmas, his boss gave him a fully-furnished three bedroom apartment as a gift.
My dear child, I decree into your life today, “GOD BLESS YOU!”
Action Point:
Father, please supply my needs and that of my family, in Jesus’ name.
HYMN 53: ‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS
1. ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
Refrain
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
3. Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
4. I’m so glad I learn’d to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend,
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
