Memorise: Philippians 4:19 (KJV)
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
Read: 2 Kings 6:26–30; 7:1–2 (KJV)
2 Kings 6:26-30
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
2 Kings 7:1-2
7 Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
MESSAGE
Considering the economic situation in the world today, everyone can see that divine intervention is urgently needed. Famine is sweeping across several African nations, and even some developed countries are struggling with unstable economies.
The situation in Samaria, as seen in today’s Bible reading, was so terrible that people had lost hope. When Elisha prophesied that there would be abundant provision within 24 hours, it sounded unbelievable—especially to those who did not understand the power of Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord our Provider.
Similarly, the world today is facing an economic downturn, and many people are suffering daily. However, amid this hardship, God is still blessing His children so they will not beg for bread or depend on human favour. One important condition for enjoying divine provision is to believe God’s word and His promises.
Many years ago, during one of our programmes, I prophesied that someone would become a landlord before the end of the year. Only one poor messenger shouted “Amen!” By Christmas, his boss gifted him a fully furnished three-bedroom apartment. That is how God works — He honours faith and obedience.
My dear child, no matter how tough things seem, hold on to God’s promises. The same God who provided for the widow of Zarephath and multiplied the five loaves and two fishes can meet all your needs too. Today, I decree into your life — GOD BLESS YOU!
ACTION POINT:
Father, please supply my needs and that of my family, in Jesus’ name.
