As you put God’s kingdom and purposes first, He takes care of your daily needs.
Give us day by day our daily bread – Luke 11:3
This is the 5th law, that: YOUR PROVISIONS IN LIFE WILL COME FROM THE VISION YOU ARE LIVING FOR. If God’s vision is what you live for, then God is ultimately responsible for your needs. In fact, God wants you to know that He knows that you need these things; so He tells you not to even think about them.
Matthew 6:25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
If God is your father, then He is responsible for your needs. He says not to worry about it – Take no thought, for your father already knows you need these things. But I know many are living short of this – they have to cry for bread daily. These things ought not to be so.
Hear me beloved,
Seek first God’s Kingdom and Purposes, and all these other things are added, WITHOUT YOU ASKING. Hallelujah!
Matthew 6:31-32
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ FOR THE PAGANS RUN AFTER ALL THESE THINGS, AND YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS THAT YOU NEED THEM.
The child of God is not a pagan – you should not cry and run after these basic necessities like you have no father. Don’t you get this? You have a Father and he already knows your needs and have made provisions for all of them. The question then is: Why do some children of God not enjoy this? Because many are IGNORANT of who they are and what they have – so they are not able to access it, even though its theirs. Then others are also misplaced – finding themselves always in the wrong place. God has made provisions for all these supplies but those supplies are at your place of assignment waiting for you.
Think about it this way:
When a sovereign country or kingdom sends an AMBASSADOR to a foreign country, they make sure there is food, water, clothes, ad infinitum there. In fact there is every necessary supply from the sending country at the location the ambassador is coming to operate – They make sure of it. Now, if that ambassador doesn’t go there and rather decides to go to a different country, what happens? There are no supplies there. He has to feed himself and provide for himself. He may suffer hunger and lack; but that’s because he is not in his place of assignment.
CHILD OF GOD, STAY IN YOUR PLACE OF ASSIGNMENT. PURSUE THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND EVERY THING YOU WILL EVER NEED IS RIGHT THERE FOR YOU. Glory to God!
Sometimes, we worry too much. If God takes care of the birds and the flowers, are you not more valuable than these? – (Matthew 6:26-27 ) He gave us Jesus, His only begotten son – what won’t he give us? Food? Clothes? We haven’t known the father’s Providence yet. That’s the problem.
One time Jesus asked the disciples:
“WHEN I SENT YOU WITHOUT MONEY, BAG OR SANDALS, DID YOU LACK ANYTHING?” “NOTHING,” they answered.
- Luke 22:35
Wow,wow,wow. That verse startles me everytime: “DID YOU LACK ANYTHING?” I have seen the Lord perform miracle after miracle after miracle when he sends us on our missionary journeys. Sometimes He sends us to Takoradi without accommodation reservations and even transportation – but right by the road side, someone going to Takoradi comes along and picks us up for free. Upon reaching Takoradi he asks ‘where are you going to sleep?’ then he offers his apartment for no fee, without us asking. He then adds abundant food for us at no cost. I can tell you testimony upon testimony of different variations of this. Listen, Brothers and sisters, THIS GOSPEL WORKS. Your PROVISIONS will come from the VISION you live for. ALWAYS GO FOR GOD’S ASSIGNMENT. I feel like dancing right now. Gloooooryyy!
