When the children of
Israel provided for themselves in Egypt, they ate cucumbers, melons, leeks,
onions and garlic (see Numbers 11:5). These were types of food which required
them to bend down close to the ground and pull out to eat—a backbreaking work.
But when God provided
for them in Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey (see Numbers 13:27), He
gave them grapes, pomegranates and figs (see Numbers 13:23). These fruits were
not found on the ground and the Israelites only had to pluck them to eat them.
God wants you to know
that when He provides for you, you will see a flow of provisions coming your
way, and all you need to do is to just stretch forth your hand and take from
Him!
So if you are planning
to get married, don’t say to yourself, “Well, if I work harder and start saving
now, I will have…oh my goodness, not much! The cost of the wedding banquet will
wipe out everything! How can I get married?”
As a child of God,
know that your Daddy God is excited about your upcoming wedding, and He is very
rich! I have not seen couples in our church lacking on their wedding day. What
I have seen is money coming in on the wedding day itself. And by the time the
celebration is over, everything is paid up. So instead of trusting your efforts
to have enough for your big day, God wants you to fix your wedding date and put
your trust in Him to provide for you abundantly.
Are you faced with a
financial debt? How much do you think you can save by working overtime and
taking on a second job? Some of our church members will testify that God simply
turned their financial situations around. In fact, Pastor Mark, our Hokkien and
Mandarin services pastor, had a sizeable debt before he became a Christian.
After he got saved, he handed his debt problem over to God. Within two years,
his debt was supernaturally cleared and he even had a surplus!
My friend, faith is the hand that takes from God. And He is easy to take from! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
