Divine provision is in play when you know that what you have is not by
your strength, power or ability. For example, when you work like a rat
and you get the wages of an elephant without being fraudulent, you can
be sure that the blessing is from above. On the contrary, when a man
works like an elephant and all he can show for his labour is the wages
of a rat, you can be sure that the fellow needs divine provision. The
reason for the last scenario is the fall of man which earned him a curse
associated with poverty and suffering. As a matter of fact, every man,
particularly a child of God, needs divine provision to be able to make
ends meet. This is the reason Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, who has
taken care of sin that brought hardship and insufficiency to the life of
man.
Divine provision begins with the provision God made for the atonement
for our sins. God gave His only begotten Son as provision for our sins.
John 3:16-17 says:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.”
Having settled the problem of sin, the Lord now makes available to us
the abundance of His riches. The death of Jesus Christ cancelled the
curse that subjected us to a life of penury and made available to us
divine provision. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says:
“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was
rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty
might be rich.”
He demonstrated this by the thousands he fed with that incredibly small
meal which He multiplied just so that the need of the people will be
met. Also, in the Bible reading for today, divine provision came forth
to meet His personal need and that of Peter from the mouth of a fish. I
pray for someone reading this devotional today; the Almighty will cause
His divine provision to come upon you and meet you at the point of your
needs in Jesus’ Name.
Memorise:
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
Prayer Point:
Father, I present my needs to you today, please meet them all in Jesus’ Name.
